Struggling to hold the many bags in her hand, Brooke sighed heavily as she continued to walk down the crowded street of Hogsmeade. Today was the Hogsmeade trip, just like the one they took every other weekend and normally Brooke rarely goes but today she felt as if she needed to get out of the castle and wonder around abit, Hogsmeade was just the place to do that. Stopping outside a shop, Brooke looked at the display on the window and she bit down on her lip as she admired the dress in the window.Concentrating too much on the dress and if she was going to buy it, Brooke had failed to notice someone beside her.

Ben looked at Brooke. "Do you need any help?" He asked his Tennessee accent sticking out. "I'm Professor Benjamin Cook. I'm the new Arithmacy professor at Hogwarts." He said with a smile his blue eyes twinkled. He had a laid back sense of style so he didn't have anything fancy on just regular jeans and a T-shirt.

Turning her head to the side, Brooke looked at the man who introduced himself as her teacher. Smiling brightly at him "Um well I'm having a bit of bother with all these bags, do you mind maybe holding one?" Brooke asked him pushing a piece of brown hair behind her ears. "I'm Brooke Summer, Nice to meet you professor." Brooke spoke and introduced herself as she took in his clothing style and then took in her own, She was wearing a white top with pink writing on it and a pair of jeans along with a air of heels.

He reached out and grabbed one of the bags. "Pleasure to meet you Brooke Summers." He said with a grin. "So what's Hogwarts like? No better yet tell me about the professors." He said looking at her. He was dying to know what they were like. He liked to know who he would be around before meeting them.

"Thanks" Brooke said as he took a bag from her and she grinned "Since you seem very curious, I guess i could give you my point of view on the other professors. Okay, I guess I'll start with Steve Higgs, my uncle. He can be pretty cold when he wants to be but when or if you get his approval, he'll pretty much be there for you and he is one hell of a friend when he wants to be!" Brooke told the professor and then thought of the second teacher "Professor Marissa Brant, i guess she is pretty cool but can be pretty emotional at times and rather nosy, but whatever. And then there is her ex husband Professor Aaron Brant, who i haven't met yet considering he is new and i don't take his class." She explained to him and looked at the professor to see if he was following "There is also Professor Tarquin Vardane, everyone pretty much likes him." Brooke stated with a small smirk and then looked at the ground "And then there is Professor Stuart, Professor A. Wood and Professor L. Wood, If you're wondering, both of the Wood's are happily married, i think. But Professor Stuart and i haven't met her either because once again i don't take her class." Brooke finished with a sigh "I think that's all!" She stated and laughed softly.

"Wait a second. Marisa Brant teaches here." He asked almost dropping the package. "Shit!" he said under his breath. "Oops sorry for my language. But lets just get this straight. Is she tall? Blonde hair, blue eyes and skinny?" He asked he was very surprised. "Well maybe you should describe her." He said sounding worried he was not one to worry either.

"Yeah, She's the Transfiguration teacher...i think!" Brooke stated and looked at him curiously "Why?" She asked him looking down at her bag with her new shoes in it. Laughing at his reaction, Brooke smiled "You must know her! She does have blonde hair and blue eyes and is rather skinny." Brooke stated and bent down to get her package. "Well, She has a son and that's all i really know, but i think you know here." She told him and held her bag.

"Yes I think I know her. And that's what scares me." He said looking off. "Once you get into a romantic relationship with Marisa you can never stop thinking about her." He said looking at Brooke. "She has a son!?" He asked in exclamation. "Damn." He said. "Do you know how old he might be?" He asked wondering if that was his son.

Brooke laughed and placed a hand over her mouth "Are you serious!" She asked him in disbelief "You have my sympathy." Brooke mumbled under her breath and looked at the ground trying to think what age her son was, "Steve told me the child was six, but I'm not quite sure." She told him remembering the many conversations she had with Steve about Marisa.

"Six!" He exclaimed. It would be the right age. "I have a feeling this child might be mine." He said softly. "Hmm Brooke what does this Steve Higgs say about her?" He asked he really needed to get a grip so he said it coolly covering up the fact that he was worried he might have a son.

"Well good luck if it is! But sorry to bust your bubble, isn't Oliver Aaron's son?" Brooke asked him curiously and twitched and eyebrow and she stared at him with her bright blue eyes. "Steve used to talk about her, he told me everything, from their kissing to their arguments, i think they had this 'thing' going on but once again i'm not so sure." She told him with a shrug.

"Poor Steve." He said. "Tell him I fell very sad for him." He said. "Well the thing is I'm not sure. We had a little fling well more than a fling a full blossom romance for a year. There was a ministry meeting and we met there. It was one of those long stay forever ones. And the age would be just about right. I mean she wouldn't have seen Aaron in time. But only she knows." He said. "Poor, poor Steve." He said again. "I feel very bad for him."

"Alright, But seriously he is fine, he's been way happier than usual lately. But by happier i mean darker, which is always a good sign!" Brooke said with a smile, she knew all about her uncle's plans and she supported him one hundred percent. "If the child is yours, let me know. I love things like this! Love triangles and stuff." Brooke told him holding back a smirk. She laughed when Ben brought up Steve again, "You should meet him for yourself and then i guarantee that you wont be saying that!" Brooke pointed out with a grin.

"I would love to meet Professor Higgs." He said with a small smile. "He may seem OK for a couple of months but after that he'll start to miss her and since she's right in the building he will come to her and ask for forgiveness and she'll dump him without sympathy. She has that much self confidence." He said recalling what happened to him. "If you can hold onto her she's a great person. But you see what happened to Aaron Brant." He said. "And I'll be glad to let you know."
