Mentors and Moonstones (Justin)

[luvs2dance]

Brooke growled ungratefully at her potions essay. Why was it that potion making required an essay? And it was an essay on moonstones, none the less. Who really cared about moon stones? No, scratch that, why was it that being a witch required potion making. Yes, that was the real question. Why must they study potions? And furthermore why did they have such a stupid, ridiculous, rude, incompetent teacher? Who would hire someone like that? Well, apparently Dumbledore would, but why Snape? Out of all the magical people in the world that could brew potions it just had to be Snape chosen as Hogwarts’ potions master didn’t it. At least if he was teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts she was good at that subject and he would therefore have nothing to criticize her about. Wait, who was she kidding? Snape could always find something to criticize about someone. What a jerk.

She huffed and tossed her essay aside. Forget it, she would scribble in some random facts later. Or maybe she would skive off the next lesson and not turn in the homework. That was an even better idea. Brooke leaned back and closed her eyes, massaging her temples. Potions always made her stressed out. She was horrible at it and she hated it.

Just then she felt someone sit down next to her. She sighed and spoke quietly, “If you’re looking for food or money go away because I don’t care.” There was no response. Brooke really didn’t want to open her eyes. Not yet, so she just settled for speaking. “Hello? Who’s there?”<br>

Justin felt as though he was filled to the burst with excitement. He had just had two excellent classes in a row and he had'nt even been criticized in potions, this however puzzled him, as Snape alwqays had something to say about anyone. Still though he was not going to let his worries consume him. He walked up the stairs, up torwards the Gryffindor common room. He reached the Fat Lady quickly, though maybe it was because he had userd a secret passage way, but nonetheless he had reached her quickly. He gave her the password and slipped in.

He walked in quite casually and sw a first year that he knew and was on ggood terms with. He walked over to her and sat down without a word. He listened to what she had to say and he inturn saidf, " Well a good evening to you to Brooke, and it's Justin Lionheart. Why are youout here all alone?"

Brooke recognized the voice immediately. She had spoken with Justin before. She regretted being so cold, but she would never say that. A first year she might be, but that didn't mean she wasn't stubborn. Brooke was stubborn to a fault actually and no matter if she knew she was wrong, she would never admit it. She did however, though open her eyes as she said, "Stupid potions. Stupid moonstones. Stupid Snape. . . you know what? I really don't care! Forget it!"

Brooke snatched up her potions essay and started to rip it up. Once the pieces were small enough to suffice her anger she tossed them vigorously into the fire. She crossed her arms and slouched back into her seat. Stupid, stupid, stupid!

"He can just go ahead and give me more detention. Because right now that's sounding a whole lot better than this stupid essay," Brooke took a couple of deep breaths to calm herself down before saying sweetly, "So how has your evening been? Mine has been irritating and dull. I need to go out and do something fun."

Jstin laughed as Brooke started to rant about good 'ol stupid Snape. Listening to her for few more minutes, Justin said " Well my day was fine, but if you really want to do something fun, then allow me to direct you to my business. Causing mayhem and mass pandemonium, Justin Lionheart at your disposal." He winked at her then stood up and said " Well, do you want to really do something fun, cause I've really been wanting to do something also."
