Emerald-Eyed Dragon, Chapter 5, Excerpt

Opening the door and making their way inside the large glass panelled and flora focused greenhouse at the matronly voice's call was the sheepish looking duo of Harry and Tonks who got a myriad of looks from their classmates Draco and Neville's egotistical looks to Ron and Hermione's concerned glare and most importantly, the Head of Hufflepuff House's warm outward appearance.

"Ah yes, the troublemakers! Well McGonagall told me you two like to play in the muck, lets hope that transfers over to my class then shall we? The name's Head-Teacher Pomona Sprout. Take a seat over at that bench there and I'll finally call the roll." The Head-Teacher of Hufflepuff said as she stood beside her desk which contained a few piles of paper, a rather large muffin and one of those smiling flowers Harry saw for sale in Diagon Alley.

The late duo made their way towards the empty bench which was just behind the one that Hermione and Ron were sitting at as the class around them began snickering once they got closer and the state of them began to get clearer much to Tonk's embarrassment as her hair flamed red like her blush.

Sitting down with a sense of doom, Harry began to take out his equipment whilst Tonks faceplanted as quietly as she could into the bench wishing it would swallow her whole whilst all the while Head-Teacher Sprout began calling the roll.
