“Here you go,” I said, offering her a smile as I turned to leave. I told her about Ella but was vague about my mom and then we were rounding the staircase which concealed the entrance to the Potions lab in the basement. She was the first to go to an academy for her education and all of her sisters were jealous enough to spit. I asked her about her family as we walked and she told me she was one of six siblings, all girls. “Come on, I’ll walk you to class.” I tilted my head in the right direction and she fell into step beside me with a relieved smile. “Cindy Lou.” She held out a slender hand and I took it, smiling down at her. “Don’t worry about it, no one can ever find the Potions lab without help the first time,” I reassured her, moving even closer. I started school late because there was a mix up with my paperwork so today’s only my second day and it’s already all going wrong before it’s even begun.”
“I’m supposed to have Potions with Professor Titan but I can’t find the classroom anywhere. “Yes please, sugar,” she said, a hint of a southern accent spilling out as she moved towards me.
“Can I help?” I asked, moving closer to her as her eyes swept over me slowly enough to let me know she hadn’t missed an inch of my muscular frame. I hadn’t seen her before but I sure as hell wouldn’t mind getting to know her better. Her dark eyes were shrouded by long lashes and raven hair fell to her waist in a straight sheet like a spill of ink. She turned around and caught me looking, my smile widening as I spotted the pout on her full lips. Like, actually stomped her foot like a Disney character or a three year old. “For the love of the stars, where the hell is it!” a girl’s voice caught my ear and I looked up as she stomped her foot. My Cardinal Magic teacher, Professor Montague, was pretty easy going and I was acing her class so I knew she wouldn’t mind if I wasn’t quite on time.
I was running the line of being late for class, but I wasn’t too concerned. But if I didn’t do something soon then Ella was going to pay the price and there was no way in hell I’d be letting that happen.
