Chapter 640 - Supervision Ⅳ (2/2)
Finished paying and shrinking her packages, Rowan turns around to her surprise found that James in a prompt fashion had finished selecting his own sweets. Hiding her shock, Rowan moves aside and waits for James to finish paying for his sweets lest she is accused of abandoning him. Because if one thing was for certain and that was that this James was just as tenacious as the James she knew of old.
”Thanks for waiting,” James cheekily said as he put away his purchases causing Rowan to scowl in his direction as they exit of Honeydukes.
Before Rowan can reply, the shouts of students yelling and running towards the sweet shop can be heard as she turns around and sends a dark look in their direction. Instantly, the stampede comes to a halt as they meekly walk forward and enter the shop in a quiet manner to the utter shock of James. Smirking to herself, she leads the way before shouting at a third-year to tie their shoelace before they trip, and fall.
Strangely, most of the morning passed by in such a manner as Rowan reprimanded students, docked points, and assigned detentions all the while with James trailing after her. At some point mid-morning, they spot Peter and Quyen holding hands and heading into Scrivenshaft's Quill shop. The latest fashion trend was for couples to buy or order matching feathered quills that were said to keep the couple together for all eternity. Apparently, Peter and Quyen were only the latest victims of these so-called scheming romantic fashion trends.
Not far off in the distance, Pandora can be seen performing her Prefect rounds all the while being accompanied by Xeno, her boyfriend, who was chatting his girlfriend's ear off about the latest conspiracy. And whether or not Pandora was truly paying attention was a mystery as she made the correct expressions and sounds in all the right places. Love was truly blind, and even deaf at times…..
Sadly, to Rowan's great dismay, it seemed that Hogsmeade was full of such couples. The straw-colored hair and freckled figure of Barty Crouch can clearly be seen in company with the square-jawed young witch of Letitia Bones. Rumor had it that they were dating, but nothing had yet to be officially confirmed as of yet.
Though if Rowan had to guess by the lovestruck expressions on both of their faces, the rumors were true. Albeitedly Barty would have his work cut out if he ever decided to officially become betrothed with Leticia considering, who her two brothers and older sister were. He would be lucky if he escaped without being heavily interrogated Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14576125306898605)/supervision-%E2%85%B3_%!d(string=51536950947011255) for visiting.
Turning away, Rowan scowled, when she spotted her friends, Terry and Silvia, Regulus and Bethanie accompanied by Tiffany. Any greetings quickly died off upon spotting just how grumpy Rowan looked. In a unanimous decision, the five of them pretended they did not see Rowan and escaped into the nearest shop. And never mind the fact that it was Ceridwen's Cauldron shop and that none of them were in the market for a new cauldron.
On her way past, Hogsmeade Post Office, Rowan spots the curly flaxen head of Dirk Cresswell, who was still gangly as ever as he was still growing. At his side, is his girlfriend, a certain shaggy-haired witch with wire-rimmed spectacles, Dorothy Cabot. The two of them don't even notice Rowan as they chat quite animated about one thing or another as they make their way down the cobbled street, before entering the crowded shop of Honeydukes.
”Don't run, you two! You will trip and fall,” Rowan hoarsely shouted and glared at a pair of boys, who slowed down, but still hurried away at a fast pace with their Zonko's purchases lest they be taken away as contraband, (which Rowan had already done to more than a few students! However, in her defense, said items were on Filch's list, and she merely took perverse satisfaction in fulfilling her Prefect duties as required).
Resisting the urge to do a facepalm, Rowan unconsciously rubs her sore throat and regrets her decision to patrol Hogsmeade. Next time, she was sticking to Hogwarts, and Severus could patrol Hogsmeade. Clearly, her twin brother had gotten the better end of the deal!
