Adrianna opened her eyes a little later only to find Dmitri watching her affectionately. She lifted her head and looked at him. Remnants of tears were still in her eyes and she was dirty from her quest last night.
Dmitri kissed her head. "How is my queen feeling?" he asked as he wiped her eyes dry with his finger.
Adrianna gave a faint smile and got up. Her gaze fell on the wand that had been placed beside them on the bed. She lifted it and caressed it. "Not justified…" she murmured as she held it close to her heart. She sighed. Then, she looked at Dmitri and said, "I have to go back."
Dmitri nodded and smiled back. "Take everything one day at a ti Adrianna…"
Adrianna placed the wand back on bed and held Dmitri tightly. "I am fed up of everything I love leaving . Dmitri, let's make babies; we can make lots of babies! Then I will have so many of you around that you will never be able to leave !"
Dmitri started laughing. He kissed her. "We will make as many as you want darling, but now is not the right ti. And... right now, it is ti for you to go back to your academy."
Adrianna looked at the clock in the bedroom and saw that it had just struck 8:30AM. "Gah!" She gritted her teeth and ran to the bathroom to get dressed. Exactly at 9AM, Adrianna reached the front of the wizard academy through the portal Fleur created. The iron guards at the entrance didn't ask again for her gate pass before kneeling down and opening the gates. As soon as Liam started entering, they pointed their javelins at him. Liam dug through his pockets to find his pass, but was at a loss of words when he couldn't find it. He beca panicky as to where he could have possibly lost it.
Fleur laughed at him when she saw him frantically searching for it. She handed it to him and said, "You moron, you left it at my house yesterday evening."
Liam shook her head, kissed Fleur, and then showed his pass to the guards.
Adrianna headed to the class she had been assigned to that day. Once again, it was one of Professor Ziu's classes. When Adrianna reached the classroom door, she noticed a large commotion. It seed as though all the girls of the academy had gathered in the classroom. They were shouting with excitent. Adrianna tapped on the shoulder of one of the girls and asked, "Why is everyone here?"
"Oh! You don't know? Professor Ziu has finally shown his true self! Everyone suspected that he was hiding his true self and we all thought he was ugly, but can you believe it? He is the most handso wizard of the kingdom!" she replied without even looking at Adrianna.
It was impossible for her to make her way into the class amongst the crowd. Adrianna snapped her fingers and teleported herself to the far corner of the classroom where no one would notice her sudden appearance. She felt around the inside pocket of her robe where her wand was kept. She clutched it and sat down on a vacant chair after walking a little further.
She could see that Professor Ziu was indeed being fawned over by all of the girls in the class. Even the boys were standing and admiring him. Adrianna noticed that Zola was standing right at the forefront of the crowd. She was perhaps trying to really impress Professor Ziu with the way she talked and fluttered her eyes.
Professor Ziu was sitting in his chair and smiling at all of the students who had surrounded him. He knew that once he showed his true self, he would get this kind of attention. It was as though he had craved for this attention all those years, but he realized that what he really wanted was this kind of attention from that one person - the person who he had been teaching yesterday and the person for whom he had revealed his true self.
Professor Ziu had arrived at the academy an hour earlier than usual and had imdiately headed to lie in wait in the classroom where Adrianna was to be taught. He had waited for her, but as the class started filling, everyone poured in except for her… He was beginning to beco exasperated by the girls who were surrounded him.
"When will she co?" he said aloud out of exasperation.
Zola was shocked when she heard his sudden question, but she still politely asked, "Who, Professor Ziu?"
"Adrianna!" he replied. "We can't start the class unless she is here.
"Well, it is possible that she won't even co. We can start the class in her absence," she said while suppressing her jealousy.
"The headmistress had clearly ordered that Adrianna has to learn all the spells. However, it seems that she has forgotten all about it," said professor Ziu pounding a fist onthe table in anger. "Go back to your seats!" he shouted.
All the students beca afraid and beca silent. Zola smiled inwards, satisfied that the professor was angry with Adrianna. The students who didn't have class in this classroom also started leaving. Nobody wanted to anger a professors, especially this professor who was well known for his short temper and horrible punishnts.
Professor Ziu irritation was increasing by the minute. He had co so early and had waited for so long, thinking that she might co early, allowing him to spend more ti with her, but she had decided not to even co to the academy. He was on the verge of fury.
As the crowd started thinning, he noticed that Adrianna was sitting in the fourth row with her head low as she appeared to be writing sothing in a notebook. His anger dissipated as soon as he saw her. Slowly, he walked towards her and stood in front of her desk with his arms crossed across his chest. All the students held their breath as they thought that he would explode on Adrianna at any mont.
Adrianna lifted her head when she felt soone's presence near her. She got up from her chair and said, "Good morning professor Ziu."
