As the bell rang my Herbology class strolled in. "Okay people, please sit separately, you have a test today. And I've been told that you have to stay for the whole lesson. No one is to leave early." Collective groans from the class. "Yes, I know how you have been enjoying your early marks but Headmaster Lewis has specifically told me you need to stay for the entire length of this lesson. If you have any questions during the test raise you hand and I will come over to you. It is to be done in silence." I walked up the rows of chairs and handed out the test papers. "Keep them turned over until the last person has their paper. Lara had chosen a seat at the back of the room. I passed her. "Sorry." I whispered to her then turned to the rest of the class. "Okay begin." I grabbed a spare chair at the back of the classroom and sat behind Lara, so I could look down at the students.
Lara had fixed the problem that had arisen last week after class. I didn't ask her how she did it, and honestly, I didn't want to know. Julie sat halfway down. I inched my chair closer to Lara's seat. She was leant over writing her answers. She knew I couldn't go against the headmaster so she wrote slowly and precisely. I trailed my fingers across her bare shoulder. She shivered involuntarily from my touch. It looked like she wore a handkerchief across her breasts tied by spaghetti strap stings in the back. It sparkled a sapphire blue color. The way she dressed always aroused my senses. Touching her bare skin sent heat waves to my groin. I pulled my hand away and walked back down to my desk.
I leant on the front of it, crossed my arms and looked out at the students bent over their tests. I snapped to attention as someone coughed. My eyes had traveled down do stare at a stain on the floor. And I was remembering the past few weeks with Lara. I looked up and saw Casey; her hand was in the air. She must have coughed to get my attention. I walked over to her. "Yes Casey?" I whispered.
"I'm done. Can I read my book now?" I looked at my watch. Fifteen minutes of class to go. Forty-five had gone already. I nodded and took her test. I placed it in a tray on my desk and cleared my throat.
