A Coincident Encounter

All this duty thing of establishing my control over others resulted in me being late than all the others in coming out. You know.. I'm gonna apply for Vice Captain next year and for Head Girl in the year after that. Therefore, I thought why shouldn't I take a shortcut. As I was about to turn and step down a couple of stairs that led me to the open playground of the school that houses the exit gate, I stopped just in time to prevent myself from colliding with someone, who I supposed was also late like myself. But guess who it was?   Yup! My Snape... I-I mean Justin Auror.

I couldn't and can never be able to tell if he saw the 'confused as if it all is yet another dream' look in my eyes. I bade him Good Afternoon sweetly and he returned it with double the sweetness. Both of us took a step forward in the opposite directions passing each other when I instantly stopped.

I spoke out, "Sir... I... wanted to tell you something."

Justin Auror said, "Yes dear, tell."

I was like,"Sir please don't mind it." He assured me, "No, no... you tell," while placing a tender hand on my left shoulder. I asked, "Sir have you seen or read Harry Potter?" He shook his head and said, "No child, I haven't read it."

His 'child' doesn't affect me; it's a common habit of all teachers.

Here's a little something: While I'm writing his very statements, I can hear his voice in my ears with the passing wind and I feel as if he is a very sweet poison.
