The bell rang and every student went to their seats. It was Hogwart's first class of the year, and your favorite regardless, Herbology.
Professor Garlick entered the greenhouse, accompagnied by another figure, which was a peculiar occurence.
- "Class, please welcome the newest rose in our garden."
The boy was quite tall indeed, jet black hair slightly falling on his face and blue eyes so gentle they almost appeared grey.
Your eyes met and your name was the last thing you could remember as a hot sensation caressed your cheeks. Looking away was the only solution you found to come to your senses, hoping your act would not be perceived as rude.
- "Mr Evergreen, why don't you take a seat?"
The new student went across the class to the only available place, the one next to you. He settle himself and gave you a slight smile.
- "Nice to meet you. I am Cerus Evergreen, the new fifth year. And you are?" He asked in a gentle way.
His fragrance was the last thing you could remember. A sophisticated scent of burned wood intertwined with lavander.
