Thread: Hogwarts Horror Stories. (Malin & Darkangel76)

Felicity's face brightened a bit when Simon mentioned he'd be taking Ancient Runes as well. Nodding and smiling, a giddy warmth washed over her at the prospect of sharing a class with someone so seemingly amiable. She wasn't one to have many friendsclose friends, especiallyso, knowing someone that she got along with would be in one of her classes was definitely something to look forward to as it was a rarity. Most of the time she kept her nose to her books, at least during classes. As Simon continued to talk about the Time Turner, she leaned back slightly and began to tug on her lip. She had to admit he had a point about the time lines and the havoc it could potentially unleash. She recalled reading about them and the perilous dangers that could ensue should you be seen. It was a nasty business. Tricky. And definitely not something to take lightly. Of course, she knew if she'd dared to attempt to use one, she'd make full certain to use it properly. Then again, why tempt fate if it wasn't necessary. You have a point there, Simon, Felicity chimed in softly, her expression thoughtful. She tugged on her robes, snuggling deeper into them as the heater whooshed hot air into the car, warming it up. Slowly, the tiny compartment was becoming more and more comfortable and she could feel her long, dark locks beginning to dry. Felicity nodded as Simon told her about his love for Transfiguration and his adventures while transmogrifying into a raccoon. It seemed to rival her own passion for Potions. All too often she'd been tempted to go out after hours in the surrounding forest to find ingredients needed for the more difficult potions she'd wanted to try. After all, some things you just couldn't get in the supply rooms or in Hogsmeade. Some things you could only find growing in the wilds outside. But her fears always got the better of her. Perhaps maybe... A blush swept over her cheeks at the very idea of thinking that this Slytherin might be daring enough to help her find ingredients should she want them. He might just be the sort of person to help her muster up the gumption. An animagus?! Felicity exclaimed. Wow! I'm not overly exceptional at such things, though I still score decently well. Perhaps you can enlighten me there, she added with a soft giggle. As Felicity bit down on her lower lip, she heard Simon mumble something about a tutor and potions being difficult for him. Immediately, she perked up, her body shifting causing her robes to fall slightly askew about her slender body. Goose bumps formed on her skin as the cooler air caressed her still slightly damp flesh, though she paid it no mind. Her steely gray eyes were fixed upon Simon across the way. A tutor? Felicity spoke, more than asked. Well, if you need help with things, especially potions... her voice trailed and her cheeks went pink. I could probably help you. She let her legs dangle back down over the seat's edge and the robe fell off her body completely as she leaned forward even more. Potions is my specialty, she said with a smile as the train suddenly lurched over the tracks causing her tiny body to bounce, her hands to grip the seat's edge as she nearly stumbled onto the floor. So, how about it then? I'll tutor you in Potions and any other subject you are having difficulties in. I honestly don't mind since it'll only help to ensure I know things that much better. And perhaps you can show me a thing or two about Transfiguration. I don't really know any licensed animaguses, so this is definitely something new for me. Felicity giggled again as she looked at Simon, her body balancing on the edge of her seat while she gripped it tightly, knuckles going white. Again, the train lurched and jolted causing her to jump and let out a tiny yelp as she lost balance and began to slip onto the floor with a small, but embarrassing, thud. Giggling a bit more, she looked up at Simon with a sheepish look and wondered if he'd take her up on the offer.
