In his shadow

Harry POV

"Hurry up Harry, Miss Angelov's classroom is just down the hall!" Alek yelled, pulling on my arm. Victor and Lidiya were chuckling behind us.
We were on our way to class, 'Omega', it was called, while Victor and Lidiya were taking a 'Beta-siblings further education course'. It seemed that in Durmstrang, you didn't have different classes each day, but each month you had one specific class and took a test about it at the end of that month.
Also, you don't choose your subjects, but the school has its fix program for each year. It was also the only month Victor wouldn't be in class with me, because he was taking a special one this time. But I had Alek. 

By the way, we reached the classroom and we entered a big room, with a fluffy carpet on the ground and mattresses and pillows all over it.
In the middle sat an elderly woman, her hair in a bun and she was talking to a student. Alek told me to take off my shoes, and then we stepped closer to her. 

"Alek! Good to see you back again. And you must be Harry, right?" the woman said and petted both of our heads.
 She was definitely an Omega, making her the first Omega teacher I met. At Hogwarts, only Betas and Alphas were allowed to teach. The room started to fill and Alek took us over to some pillows that were placed in a circle and we sat down.
Everybody sat down in the big circle, and Miss Angelov started to talk: 

"Hello, my dears. I am Miss Angelov, your teacher in this class. Some of you have taken this class once or twice already, others of you area  brand new addition, and I am happy to welcome you to our group."
 She went over to open one of the cupboards, making more fluffy stuff come out of it.
"If you should get uncomfortable during the class, please tell me." she said, going around and giving each of us a blanket. Then she dropped to the ground in the circle. 

"So, what do you know about being an Omega?" she asked, looking around.
"You are really cute?" someone said and we all had to giggle a bit.
"That is very true, Elisabeth. Other things?"
"You go through heat?" someone else said. She turned to them.
"Perfect, Victor. And when we go into heat, what do we do beforehand?"
 "We build a nest!" A young girl said, raising her hand. 

"That is the topic of today's lesson: Nests, and building them. During today's class, we are all going to build a nest for ourselves. And always remember: This is your nest, it's all about you. If you think something is missing, then there is something missing. When not, then not. Nobody can tell you different." I nodded, looking over to her. She stood up and we followed. 

"First, you decide at a place in the room. Just close your eyes and go around the room. You will feel the right spot" she said, and I closed my eyes shut, and I felt drawn to my right.
So I went in that direction until I reached my direction. It was a wonder we did not bump into each other!
I landed in the rather front of the classroom, while Alek was in the top right corner. 

"Now, please mark your spot with the blanket I gave you, so you don't forget where to go. Now, the most common base for a nest are mattresses. You can find some over there. Grab as many as you think you will need." I rushed over grabbing two mattresses -the medium soft ones- and laid them down on my spot.
We went on my grabbing blankets, pillows, comforters, and chocolate (wrapped and in an extra bowl, outside the nest).
I had started with a rectangle, but my end result looked a lot like an egg. Normally, when I nested, I would just put a blanket or two on my bed, and that was it. It never felt cosy, and I only slept in it, nothing more. 

I loved my new nest and just wanted to jump in. I was about to flatten out my blankets, when another student entered the room and just quickly grabbed a mattress.
I flopped into my nest and wrapped my blanket around me, while checking out Aleks nest. It was rather small, but there were lights put around it, and for some reason, he put glitter all over it. 

So, it practically screamed Aleksandr. 

When it was lunchtime Miss Angelov told us to come to the middle of the room.
"After lunch, we will go on talking about what you like about your own nest. And please, always remember that you can always take off a day from school to build your nest, as it is for your mental and physical health. All your basic needs for building a nest are in your 'Mating and heat'-cupboard, and if you need anything else, this room is open for you at every time of the day. Now go eat lunch, little ones." 

A/N: How do you like Miss Angelov? I felt like Harry was missing a female role model, so here she is. The next chapter will be really long, as far as I can see.  (Pansy might or might not find her other half...)

To today's question:

Who was your favourite/worst teacher?
