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.”
Cyrus hadn’t heard the soft knocks at the door while he was in his office. Only when he heard Jackie’s whisper at his door his he wave his wand, letting her in.
“Jackie! Oh I see you brought food! Sorry I couldn’t make it to the feast, I was finishing up with THIS stack of work.” He said, gesturing annoyedly at the big stack of papers he had to mark before chuckling, waving his wand, pulling out a chair for her to sit on.
She walked in and she walked passed him and took a seat. “Well you don’t need to apologize. But…..I did think you were upset I didn’t see you today.” She spoke to him. She crossed her legs and set the food on his desk. “Soooo….I came to see you” She spoke and looked up at him. Her blonde curls a mess. Her green eyes scaling her professor
“Upset? Why would I be upset sweetie?” He asked and cast the Muffliato spell on the door. “ Oh you’re such a sweetheart, I actually haven’t eaten. Have you?” He asked and smiled, chuckling as he watched her eyes scanning over him.
“Y-yea I ate b-before I-I came here….” she spoke to him. She touched the cloth holding the food and it begun unraveling to expose a selection of food from dinner.
“I m-missed you…..th-the girls th-think you’re cute” she spoke to him.
“Oh! W9w today’s dinner looks nice. Aw! I missed you too! Oh? Well, you’re the cutest~” He said and smiled softly, reaching over to grab some to eat taking a break from his marking.
She rolled her eyes, “I-I refussse to b-be cute.” She huffed in a more serious tone. “S-so did you hear … the Tri-wizard t-tournament is around th-the corner. I-I want t-to enter. If I-I m-made it I’d be the first Hufflepuff ssssince Cedrick Diggori….” she spoke up and explained to him.
“Well, you are cute. And…Tri-wizard? Why do you want to go? You’ve heard of the warnings they give, right? Death included?” He asked and walked over to kneel in front of her to gently hold her hands.
“I-I know b-but Cedrick….he d-didn’t die cause of th-the games. Everyone knows that.” She spoke. “Why are y-you worried” She asked her hands held his and she looked down at the older wizard.
“True, but if the tournament is every bit as dangerous as I’ve heard from the o other teachers, dragons, killer maze, mermaids in the Black Lake?” He asked and sighed softly cupping her cheek softly.
“I thought it was…obvious I cared for you.” He said softly, looking down at his hands.
“Each wizzzard cup isss different. N-new obstacles and ch-challenges. I w-want to do sssomething. I-i want to at least enter.” She spoke. Looked at his hands and grasped them with her own.
“It’s not like there’s a chance they’ll pick me. I’m sure you have nothing to worry about Cyrus….” she spoke softly. Then kissed him passionately.
