Secrets
Starter for @crxripley
The care of magical creatures’ class was one of Claire’s favorites. She always paid attention in class and made sure to not miss any information that was given. This strong focus, paired with her extensive reading about magical creatures on her own free time, was what had led her to notice that something was not quite right with Professor Nam. In the beginning, she didn’t think much about how some other professors would sport a look of disgusts on their face when subtly glancing at the meat on professor Nam’s plate. She simply assumed he enjoyed eating something that the others didn’t like.
Then a few weeks later, the always nice professor became more irritable in class, even going as far as snap at students, to the surprise of those who ended up receiving the blunt of this irritation. Again, she didn’t think much of it at first because everyone is entitled to bad days, even teachers.
It could have remained like that, occurrences that happened one time, therefore not raising any suspicion, unfortunately, they repeated. She started documenting her professor’s periods of irritation, just a simple note in her planner, along with the homework she had to do. It felt a bit wrong to keep tabs on her professor, but her curiosity wouldn’t let her leave this without getting some answers first.
Not too long after the whole werewolf scare at the school, the answer hit her right in the face. “He’s a werewolf!” she exclaimed, dropping her pen on the library desk and quickly flipping through the pages of her planner to read her notes. It made sense! She quickly shoved her books in her bag and left the library with an apologetic smile thrown at the librarian for disrupting the peace of the place. Once in the hallway, she immediately made her way over to Professor Nam’s office.
Before she could even think about whether this was a good idea, she had reached her destination and knocked on the door. As soon as it opened, she didn’t let her poor professor talk, immediately spewing “You’re a werewolf!” at him.
