Luka has been bothering Marinette.

And she is really about to hex the balls out of this lad.

"Come on now, Marinette."

"What the heck is your problem?" She snaps at him in a whisper.

Of course, all her classes have to be with the ever so-loved Gryffindors and she has hated the arrangement ever since the drastic explosion that changed her hair colour. Before that incident...Marinette was just apathetic with the arrangement.

"Marinette..." Luka starts again, "I won't stop unless you give me an answer. Will you go to Hogsmeade with me?"

She does not even know she survived sitting beside him for the past months. At first she did not mind, she never cared at all. But then he started singing songs every time they would see each other. It started with just mere whispers of songs Marinette knew too well since they were love songs that her parents would sing to each other in the muggle world. It always shocked Marinette that Luka knew some of the songs. Her first hunch was maybe because Luka has the blood of a muggle and a wizard. Whilst Marinette is just a...muggle-born.

Which she hates so much.

His singing of songs were becoming more frequent as time passed by. Not only were they limited in their classes but when they would pass by each other around school or even at the Great Hall, he would find time to slip some lyrics that Marinette knew too well. She then found it as an insult to her, until now.

Since he asked her out, now she knows why he's been singing those songs. He's hitting on her. And does Marinette find it endearing? Truthfully, a bit. She never had anyone sing for her before, and despite her cold demeanor she is still a person with feelings. But what makes it sad the most is that...he's annoying. SO annoying.

"Are you just too cocky to ask me like this?" She asks in a whisper, taking down notes as the professor in front of them continues to discuss. Thankfully, their professor has not noticed her two students talking during the class. "Is this the way Gryffindors ask people out?" Marinette continues, "Because that's a bit upfront, if you think about it."

"It's just a yes or no question, Marinette."

"And you can't just force an answer out of me."

"Are you this shallow?" He asks her, albeit raising his voice already. He was getting frustrated with talking to her. Damn, she's pretty...but uptight. And he had no time for uptight girls. "I know that I've been running in your thoughts for the past days...especially since I've been singing those songs to you."

"And are you always this assuming?" She claps back. "I'm trying to listen here and yet you are disturbing me."

Luka scoffs then leans back, facing the professor whilst crossing his arms in front of him. "Mudblood," he utters under his breath but Marinette heard it in a crisp manner.

Marinette turns her head to him and clenches her fist in anger. "How dare you!-"

"Hey, mate!"

A  loud voice coming from the front of the room stops Marinette and all the more she sneers as the Gryffindor that she hates with a passion is standing from where he is seated, facing the two other students at the back.

"I bet you're more of a mudblood than Moaning Myrtle herself!" Adrien finishes.

"Philippe!" The professor scolds him upfront. Yet Marinette could not still hold back her tongue.

"Oh would you fucking shut it, Philippe?! Stop being a two-faced Gryffindor and mind your own business!"

"Silencio!" The professor jabs her wand and the charm only affects Marinette and Adrien as they both struggle to utter a sound from their mouths. "10 points off Gryffindor, and 20 off Slytherin."

The other students in the class hold their breaths as they await for their professor to continue. It is all their first time to see their professor snap like back. But for all of them, it was more surprising to know that point will taken away from Gryffindor because of THE Adrien Philippe - the proclaimed 'poster-boy' of Gryffindor.

"Such disrespect will not be tolerated in this room, and I can do much more damage if ever an incident like this could happen again. Heed my words, class." The professor takes a deep breath then summons a spell under her breath to close the book she was using for discussion. "I choose to dismiss the class now since I am unable to continue in the manner I was in before...what happened," she breathes out. "Read the next hundred pages from where we stopped. I would check in our next meeting if all of you have done so, and trust me, I know when one does not follow what I instruct."

The class shares wary glances at each other while others gulp out of nervousness. "You may now go except you two," she says eyeing the two silenced students. The others immediately stand and collect their things to leave the room in a jiffy. They do not want to witness another outburst if it may happen.

"You could have just said yes," Luka utters under his breath to Marinette as he collects his book and stands. 

Marinette, with the charm still in effect, could only glare at him and clench her fist out of anger.

"See you next meeting," he smirks at her before leaving the room with the other students.

Just as the room empties, and only Marinette and Adrien are the only students left behind, the professor rubs her forehead and lets out another deep breath. "After our next meeting, there will be detention for the both of you," she announces to the both of them. "I will not tolerate such insolence if ever the both of you do this again. This warning goes for you both, especially Dupain-Cheng." she finishes, eyeing Marinette. The girl student just rolls her eyes at her professor.

Marinette does not give a damn at all.

The professor mutters a few words and then both students suddenly gain the ability to utter a sound again. "I'll inform you during our next meeting where you'll have your detention." With the book in her arms, she exits the room. Now it's just Marinette and Adrien left behind.

If I was her, I wouldn't want to also stay long with myself as well. Marinette angrily thought as she shoved all of her stuff in her schoolbag. She did not face Philippe at all as she slung the bag over her shoulder and went to the door in a rush.

"A simple 'Thank you' could be beneficial," Adrien suddenly utters as he grabs a hold of her arm to stop her in step.

Marinette immediately yanks her arm away with force and sneers at him, "You could have just left us alone. No one could hear us!"

"A lot of people did," he says in a mocking manner.

"And do I look like I care?! And I'm calling bullshit on you, it's impossible that it reached your area."

"Well none of this would have not happened if you just answered him by saying no."

"Oh, so you're on his side now?" Marinette snaps at him.

"And what's with that sudden change of attitude? Do you want me to be on your side, instead?" Adrien snaps

"I don't want you to be on anyone's side!" She retaliates, "because in the first place, you were not even part of the conversation! And now I have to spend my free time in detention with you where I could be using the time to-" Marinette immediately stops as she almost slipped out things that should not be said to anyone at all. She decides to turn her back at him. Her anger is allowing the worst of her to be unleashed.

'To what?" Adrien crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow of question at her, "to meddle with the Dark Arts like the Slytherin you are?" he taunts.

Marinette immediately whips her head to face him again and stalks toward him. Using her index finger, she jabs it at him.

"You know what, Philippe?" She sneers,  "You call yourself a Gryffindor, but you hide the fact that you are the most selfish person out there!"

She turns away from him again. "Now, leave me alone. I have detention with you and that's the worst situation I could ever be placed in."

And with that, she storms off in anger leaving the boy behind in the empty corridor.
