Ahem.
He straightened up again and looked out at the corpse flower. "It is a little warm out... Professor Bunbury." Ethan agreed, a little mortified and sort of waiting for her to hex him or something.
Or you know, lose his job because of the probation and all.

She could have said something else but the students were... still around. Not many had been distracted by the bouncing lily pad, unfortunately, so she had to take care of them first.
She stepped out into the moonlight and wandered around to the far side of the corpse flower, pinching the tip of her nose slightly at the STANK. Ugh. Now she was going to sound like a duck when she talked. "So, students, tell me what you all know or have observed so far about this... fragrant flower."
Okay so he knew that he wasn't exactly into the whole Herbology thing but he had been trying to be look interested for Annie's sake. And well it was his own fault that he had let his mind wander off as he stuffed his face full of chocolate. So by the time he had finally broken out of his reverie, he looked up to see Ethan giving Annie a kiss on the cheek.
Marcus, put the chocolate down that he had been holding and felt his stomach clench uncomfortably. It seems that he was always going to come second to someone else where Annie was concerned. He sighed deeply as he stuck his hands in deep into his pockets and started shuffling toward the exit. So much for the new start at Hogwarts, he felt just as bad now as he had done all those years ago when she had left him then.
