Tessa's book was snatched quite suddenly from her fingers, and it took a good deal of effort to keep her bored expression in place.  She was reading that.  She still wan't to find out what would happen!

"Ashby." She sighed, with no small amount of condescension.  "Just because you can't read doesn't mean the rest of us shouldn't be allowed to."  Of course then he was throwing her book across the room, and Tessa screwed up her face in frustration.  Why the Professor let that one go was beyond her.  He had to have seen it, even with his back turned.  Nepotism, no doubt.

"Merlin's Nuts."  She swore, "that'd be real frustrating if I wasn't a witch."  She pointed her wand back toward the book case.  "Accio, books."    The novel she caught easily in one hand.  The larger study tome she allowed to fly by, aimed directly at Ash.

She looked up to see the Professor staring at her and put on a fake smile she knew fooled no one. "Damn vampires."
