[/justify][/size]Taking notes in Defence Against the Dark Arts was not Lachlan's idea of a good afternoon. Leaning on one arm, staring blankly at the chalkboard with his mouth wide open, Lachlan couldn't help but think about how close they were to freedom - to lunchtime! He nearly choked when Trent, who had noticed that Lachlan was paying little to no attention, threw a wadded up bit of paper into his mouth. Spluttering and flailing his arms, Lachlan spat it out onto the table, getting his spit drooling out of his mouth. Great. Just what he wanted - and right when he was sitting across from Dorcas, too.
The Professor turned around and cleared his throat at Lachlan. He gestured back at the board where he was finishing up his notes with a stern look on his face. Groaning, Lachlan slid down into his chair and went bright red as the students around him started to laugh. He could only hope that they were laughing with him, and not at him. How long was it until lunch again?
The bell sounded and the Professor made a speech about how their essay should be handed in on his desk by Thursday. Lachlan barely heard him and instead ran out of the classroom as fast as he could, trying to get away from the embarrassing scene he had just been involved in.
"Thanks, man," he growled as his best friend strolled out of the classroom in a fit of laughter. "Thanks so much."
His embarrassing day was only getting worse. As Lachlan turned around to head out to the Hogwarts Grounds for lunch, he walked straight into Dorcas Meadowes and toppled backwards onto Trent, creating a domino effect. Now, everyone was laughing at him and not just with him.
