 Unforgivably Cursed | adultescent
The beard was itchy and just GROSS, and panic began to rise in the girl's chest. What if it wasn't just a spell but more like a curse and they couldn't just magic it off? She was NOT shaving it because she was sure she would be left with hideous stubble, but maybe she could use a hair removing potion.. Yes, that was an idea..
Claudette lowered her book just slightly so that it was still covering the lower half of her face and was about to suggest this as an option when the door opened again and again. Minerva, she knew, of course.. but the other two girls she didn't. She hardly felt this was the time for introductions, but she was glad to see that there were others to band together with them all.. strength in numbers, right?
"Keep getting these people?" she repeated, with a hint of outrage in her voice. "Is this what the professors are like here?" So far she had limited interaction with the staff at this school. Professor Flamsteed seemed quite nutty himself, but at least he wasn't sexist and actually seemed to know what he was talking about. She nodded reluctantly as Minerva continued. "I don't want anyone to see me like this though," she admitted, still hiding behind the book. "But maybe Professor Elwood.. she seems very nice and I think she would be understanding." From what she knew of her, she prided herself on her appearance and she was sure she would favor women equality and stuff.
Glancing at the other Slytherin girl, whose name she did not know, Claudette nodded again. "That's right, we should have.. It's not right to force a student to do something they don't want to. And now I look hideous.." And NOT any better in Arithmancy. She opened her mouth to ask how the Gryffindor girl got so lucky to escape a beard when the door opened again. That was the Headmistress, wasn't it? Had she not even noticed them?
