Falling From Heights | Harry Potter AU | Closed RP
Cyrus worked in Hogwarts, in the Charms departments taking over classes for Professor Flitwick if the poor guy had other things to do. He was one of the recent addition to the Hogwarts staff in the recent years and he had taken on classes before as an understudy to Flitwick. He was also joining with Madam Hootch and Professor Sprout to help with Hufflepuff House’s Quidditch team.
He was informed by Mcgonagall that the new class he was to handle was a pretty prone to loud outbursts and arguments, especially one child, Jackie. He had set himself up in the classroom and used several levitation spells to move books around the classroom, sorting them by alphabetical order in the shelves and along the tables.
By the time he was done, the first few students had begun streaming in. “Ah, perfect, please, take your seats, it’s free seating of course.”
Jackie had woken up late. One of her bed mates had woken her up trying to get her to get ready. When she finally did she rushed to do her uniform and used a little controlled levitation magic to pull all her books into her bag as she tried to pull into a ponytail her wild blonde waves. When she sprinted out of hufflepuffs corridor she scurried to her first class being nearly late.
As she entered she huffed out a breath of relief though she was greeted with stares from several of the students. Her button up had yet to be fully tucked even. She smiled nervously and looked to the professor, he’s new she thought. Pausing in her thoughts for a moment
Cyrus turned when the door opened my closed again, noticing the new student. He smiled and waved her to the front seat, which everyone else had seemed to avoid.
“Ms Jackie I presume? Please take your seat here. Shall we begin class?” He asked and smiled, chucklingbsoftly, beginning to teach the basic wand movements of spells.
She huffed a piece of hair from her face. She had a Blush on her cheeks when he called her out. When he requested she take the front seat she nodded.
Hastily walking to seat she tucked in her shirt as she neared closer. She wasn’t usually a fan of the front seat but she figured for being almostlate to class it was fair. As they started practicing she pulled out her dragon heart string wand and started following to the instructor’s directions.
Once class was over. Cyrus placed his hand on her table, whispering to her to wait. After everyone else had left, he sat on the table and sized her up for a moment.
“Why were you late to class Jackie?” He asked softly and smiled. “Also, I really don’t mean to stare but I’m…you didn’t button up properly.” He said, having had such a good view for the whole lesson.
She looked up at him as he set his hand on her desk. She felt her heart beat anxiously. “I-I-I’m a heavy sl-sleeper” she explained and gave a nervous as she scratched the back of her hair.
She went wide eyed in embarrassment at him pointing out her shirt was unbutton some she looked down and she buttoned it up properly. “Oh I-I’m sorry she said. I d-d-didn’t mean t-to be late” She said and looked at him once more rubbing her arm. He was really something to look at she thought to herself. Looking him over some.
