Chapter 4: First lessons.
 
 
Josh Sumer hurried to his office, he was late which was highly unusual for him, but he
hardly slept at night, tossind tnd turning and hoping that Zoey got home safely.
 
He went inside his office and saw her, sitting in his chair, her head resting on the desk. A small package of \"Advil\" stood infront of her.
\"Where have you been?\" he exclaimed. \"I looked everywhere for you.\"
\"Awww…don’t shouthavehave a huge headache…\" she wispered.
\"Take the pills then.\" He was still angry.
\"I can\'t take the damn pills!\" she shouted, raising her head from the table and flinching at her own voice. \"I can\'t open the box.\" She wispered, sounding helpless. \"Can you please open it for me?\"
Josh looked at her, her face were full with tears and she handed him the box with hope in her eyes. He couldn’t help himself, he started laughing. He sat infront of her, shaking with laughter.
\"Idiot!\" she hissed to his direc and and got up from his chair.
\"Wait! wait!\" he got up from his chair and grabbed her hand. \"I\'ll open the box, give me that.\" He walked outside and came back a moment later with a glass of water and the open \"Advil\" box. \"How many do you want?\"
\"All of them.\" She moaned.
\"Sure…here take two.\" He handed her the pills and she swallowed them with the water.
\"Thank you.\" She smiled and then frowned again. \"God, it even hurts when I smile…\"
\"You know, I\'ve been worried sick about you.\"
She gazed at his eyes, he seemed sincere and she smiled gratfully.
\"I needed to get home, why didn’t you call me?\"
\"You never wrote the personal information I asked you.\"
\"Oh…\" she blushed. \"Sorry. Here I\'ll fill it now.\" He gave her the paper and then looked at his watch.
\"Aren\'t you suppose to go to class? My class?\" he asked.
 
\"Oh shit!\" she looked at her watch. \"Now I\'ll have to sit on the floor!\" she exclaimed and got up from the chair. \"See you there…\" she called and hurried outside.
He smiled to himself, he never met someone like her before. Sighing to himself he grabbed his bag and coat and headed outside. \'You\'re going down, mate.\' He thought.
 
 
 
Zoey sat on the floor, at the back of the auditorium. She could sit on the floor infront but she didn’t want him to see her, after all, she wasn’t going to write and all that stuff and there was no point akinaking him suspicious.
 
She leaned her head against the wall, watching the other students and waiting for the muggle pill wor work. She didn’t want to use a healing charm. She wasn’t very good with them and she didn’t really know the kind of poison, drug or whatever that was in her drink. Taking the pills was easier.
 
Professor Sumer walked in and introduced himself. He spoke gently and impressed the new students. She heared two girls giggling and talking about howdsomdsome he was. And he definitly was, she agreed with them. The two hours passed quickly and she returned to his office with two large cups of coffee from the cafeteria.
\"Were you even in my class?\" he asked her when she walked inside.
\"Of course I was.\" She faked hurt. \"I sat in a great spot.\"
\"Which one?\"
\"Well, lets just say that if there was a fire I was the first to go out.\"
\"You sat next to the emergency exit?\" he laughed.
\"Yes, stop laughing or you won\'t get your coffee.\"
\"You bought coffee?\" his voice was shocked.
\"Don’t get use to it, it\'s only because it\'s your first day.\"
He took the coffee and drank a bit.
\"Hmmm, and it\'s even a cafeteria coffee.\"
\"I never drink coffee from those horrible machines…they have ants inside, you know.\"
\"Disgusting…\" he groaned. He sat infront of her and they went over his schedule again, he wanted to find a time where he could work with students that need special h
\"
\"But, you already have three hours a week dedicate to this…you want more?\"
\"Yes, how about wedensday?\"
\"You can\'t, it\'s your day off.\" She said.
\"O.k, wedensday it is.\"
\"Don\'t you have a life?\" she exclaimed.
\"Nop.\" He smiled.
\"Fine…\" she wrote it in his schedule and he looked at her while drinking his coffee. He noticed a delicate bracelet on her right hand.
\"It\'s a preety bracelet.\" He said, reaching his hand.
\"Yeah, it\'s silver.\"
His hand fell and his eyes widened, did she know? No…it was impossible.
She looked at him and smiled. \'God, he almost thouched it.\' She thought. \"Are you o.k?\" she asked.
\"Fine…\" he tried to smile.
He went to lecture again and she followed him around all day until six o\'clock when they went home. Her headache passed and she felt much better.
 
When she entered her appartment she froze and pulled out her wand. There was a dead man on her couch. To her surprise the dead man got up and looked at her.
\"You scared me! What are you doing here?\" she placed her wand in her bag.
\"We have a problem.\" He said, he looked better then the day before, his hair tied up in a pony tail.
\"That\'s not new.\" She headed to the kitchen. \"Want a drink?\"
\"Already drank, thanks.\" He followed her. \"We have a mole.\" He said.
\"Are you serious?\"
\"Yes I am…\" he smirked.
\"That joke is old.\" She scolded him. \"Are you sure?\"
\"Yes, we don’t know who.\"
\"Who do we trust, then?\"
\"I trust my company.\" He smiled at her. \"All of you…the thing is…they know who you are.\"
\"That\'s just great!\"
\"They also know about this house, you should get out of here…go to his place.\"
\"What?! And what will I tell him?\"
\"Look…it\'s gonna happen soon…I want you near him 24/7. I don’t know, get inside his bed if you must.\" He smirked again.
\"Fuck you! I\'m not your whore!\" she turned away from him and headed towards the living room.
\"I\'m sorry…\" he followed her. \"I didn’t mean it like that.\"
\"Fine…I\'ll go to his place…can\'t you send me some backup?\"
\"I can\'t.\" he sighed. \"The ministry of magic is making a speech and we got some nasty threats…we\'re going there tonight.\"
\"Fine…\" she grabbed her bag and headed outside.
\"I\'m sorry, I didn’t mean it.\" He said again while she locked the door.
\"You shouldn’t talk about things you know nothing about.\"
\"I was there when you…\" he tried.
\"No…you were there after everything ended…you know nothing.\" Her voice was cold and his eyes widened.
\"I\'ll contact you tommorow.\"
\"Goodbye.\"
 
He looked around and then disappeared with a small \'pop\' sound. Zoey sighed and headed towards her car. It\'s gonna be a long night.
