Hermione Granger stifled a yawn as she drank her coffee. She wished she hadn’t ended up staying up late reading. However, the book was so addictive and she couldn’t put it down. Luckily for her she knew how to work through her tiredness, she did in fact have had a lot of practice at it.

She turned off into the parking lot of Sir John Sparrow Thompson High School, and quickly found her parking spot. Turning off the engine she took a deep breath to calm her nerves. It would be the first day she would teach here, and she was slightly nervous. She had everything ready and she was very excited about starting teaching, however she still couldn’t help being nervous.

Hermione opened the door, and got out but not before grabbing her bag. Coffee still in her hand, she kicked the door closed and put her coffee on top of the car to fix her bag on her shoulder and to lock the car. Nodding in satisfaction, she grabbed her coffee and walked towards the entrance.

Casey MacDonald smiled happily as she opened her locker for the first time this school year. She knew she was considered weird by Derek and Emily but she loved the first day back at school. She loved going to school, even though that had dwindled since going to the same school as her step-brother, Derek.

“Hey Casey! Guess what I found out?” Emily Davis, Casey’s best friend. Casey turned towards her with a grin.

“What?”

“We apparently have a new English teacher, she’s from all the way from England. Isn’t that cool? I can’t believe she went all the way here to teach here.”

“Wow that’s really cool. Oh I hope she’s better then Mr. Hartsburg.” Casey stated, “even I thought he was boring. We never did anything in his class.”

“You know, it’s a surprise you actually didn’t like a teacher…” Emily teased with a grin. Casey glared playfully. “Well, he really needed to retire; he was like as old as the school or the country really.”

“He kept falling asleep; I mean seriously, can you blame him though? He was like seventy…” Casey stated, closing her locker. They started walking towards first period.

Fifth period came quickly for Casey, although she was very anxious to meet the new English teacher, she also had Derek in the class and she really hated having him in her classes. Thankfully she had Sam and Emily as well, which did not really balance her feelings about the class, but it was a comfort to have people on her side for once.

Entering the class early, she took one of the front desks, with Emily taking the seat behind her and Sam beside Emily. Other students came in and filled in the seats in all the back, which caused Derek (being late as always) to have to sit next to Sam. Derek didn’t really mind, but it would be harder to get away with goofing off in class.

Casey studied the room and was in awe at the beauty of it, not a lot of the teachers really decorated their classrooms besides a few posters, but apparently this one was different. She had images that she figured was of Europe and some of Casey’s favorite poems and sonnets as well as famous quotes around the room. She glanced over to the white board and found the teacher’s name was Ms. Granger. Glancing over to the teacher herself, she realized Ms. Granger was young, looked almost in her late twenties or maybe even early twenties. She had her hair in a French twist which Casey thought made her look elegant. She wore black dress pants and a royal blue floral button top with a skinny vinyl belt around her waist.

The bell rang, and Hermione turned around to face her fifth period, she smiled towards every one before moving to stand in front of her desk. She leaned against it.

“Good morning everyone, I’m sure it’s obvious, but I’m the new English teacher here. My name is Hermione Granger, and you may call me Ms. Granger if you want. I’ll hopefully get to know all your names very soon. So until then,” she turned a little and grabbed her roll book. “I’ll have to take roll the old fashioned way. Just raise your hand when I call your name. Emily Davis?”

Emily raised her hand with a smile, Hermione smiled brightly and continued. Hermione continued. “Derek Venturi?”

“Here,” He stated, leaning back in his chair confidently. Hermione glanced over to him, and was suddenly reminded of Draco Malfoy. She nodded, holding in her laugher and went around to her desk.

“Well… how about Derek pass out the text books?” Hermione stated, gesturing towards the stack of books beside her desk. “I would like everybody turn to page one hundred.”

Hermione hid a smile as Derek got up and started passing out the books. He however smirked and by passed Casey MacDonald. Hermione could see Casey become very annoyed at this. Derek sat down in his seat, smirking at Casey who glared at him. Hermione stood up and walked over to Casey’s desk and handed a copy to Casey. Casey smiled gratefully at the teacher and opened it to the right page. She grinned seeing the poem.

“For September, I want to go over different poems and study the poems’. And I would love to start with one of my favorite poets, Emily Dickinson.” Hermione stated, leaning against her desk again. She glanced over to Derek. “So any volunteers to read the poem?” Although she would have loved for no body to raise their hands, she was happy to find somebody brave to read on the first day. She had a feeling she would really like Casey. “Go ahead Casey.”

“I Cannot Live With You by Emily Dickinson,” Casey started before clearing her throat. “I cannot live with you, it would be life, and life is over there, behind the shelf…”

As Casey continued reading the poem, Hermione glanced around to study the class. She found Derek smirking at her. She moved closer to him, and whispered so not to disrupt Casey or anyone else, “You’re supposed to be following along.”

“Sorry I have a rule and I don’t do school work on the first day.” The boy beside him choked back a laugh. Others behind Derek turned their attention to watch Derek. Casey stopped and turned back to glare in annoyance at Derek.

“Now, I think it’s about time to change that rule, don’t you?” Hermione stated, “You don’t want your parents to get a phone call on the first day of school and receive a zero for this assignment. Or maybe you do? Either way, I would love to get to know your parents. I’m we’ll have loads of fun.”

Derek started to glare at her, and her smiled turned into a grin.

“How about you finish where Casey left off?” Hermione turned to face Casey, “Which stanza was that?”

“Seventh,” Casey stated.

“Good, now start from the first line of the eighth stanza, Derek.”

“They'd judge us - how? For you served Heaven, you know, or sought to; I could not, because you saturated sight, and I had no more eyes, for sordid excellence, as Paradise...” Derek said, angrily continuing. The others watched him in surprise by the fact he didn’t put up much a fight… it just wasn’t like him. However Hermione didn’t care and went back to stand by her desk. The other students slowly went back to following along, or at least pretending to.

When Derek finished, Hermione went back to the white board. “So, anyone want to tell me the tone of this poem?”

Casey quickly put her hand in the air, Hermione called on her. To herself, she thought Casey was much like herself, and she knew she would get along great with her. However she wasn’t too sure if she’ll ever be great with Derek. Hopefully he won’t be too bad. Then again, if she could handle Draco Malfoy, Severus Snape, and Voldemort? Then she could handle this teenage boy.

“I can’t believe she gave us homework on the first day…” complained Emily, “she’s really pretty and nice, but like I don’t think I’ll like her class.”

“Em, how hard is it to find your favorite poem? Its not like we have a writing assignment, we just have to find one of our favorite poems. I personally don’t know which one I’ll hand in, I have so many.” Casey stated, closing her locker, and faced Emily who was laughing. “What?”

“Nothing,” Emily stated, before walking off. Casey followed her, confused.

“I hate her… she’s hot though.” Derek stated at his locker to his fellow band members.

Sam laughed, “I just can’t believe you actually did what she said.”

“Yeah well dad and Nora ‘told’ me that I have to pass all my classes above a C+ or D-Rock will be no more. And they’ll take away my keys.” Derek said, slamming his locker closed in anger.

“She is really hot, though, I have to agree with you there Derek, man I wonder if she had a younger sister?” Ralph said out loud, causing both Sam and Derek to laugh at him.

“You are hopeless…” Sam stated before he and Derek left Ralph standing there.

“Hey! You know you were thinking it too!” Ralph shouted, causing several people to look at him. “Nothing to see people! Keep walking!” He stated before running to catch up with them.

THE END.
