It was a fine autumn day at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The sun was shinning, it was a clear blue sky, and the air was at a nice comfortable temperature. The students had been "home" for about three weeks now, and, already, a student was pressuring others about their grades.
"Well Ron, I hope you're happy." Hermione Granger said as the three friends walked out of Charms Class. Their last class of the day. Thank goodness.
"Then how come I'm not feeling very happy?" Ron Weasley asked as he jammed a D- paper into his bag.
"Well I'm sure you'll do…. um… better next time." Harry Potter said encouragingly to his friend with a sideways glance at Hermione.
"Ha. Funny." Ron said sarcastically as they walked into the Great Hall. They sat down at the Gryffindor table.
"I can't believe I got a D-. This is just great. Plus I have to do more Charms, Potions, and Defense Against the Dark Arts." Ron said as he sat down next to Harry. Harry got out his Defense Against the Dark Arts homework.
"I have to write an essay about what he had learned last year and why it would come in handy in the future." Harry said. "Oh and guys I just remembered, I'm not going to be in the Average DADA class anymore. Dumbledore says that I'm not being challenged enough. So I'm in the advanced class now."
"Which means double the work." Hermione said.
"I'm only trying it out. If I think it's to hard or something like that I can move back." Harry said.
"Oh." Hermione said. She got out Hogwarts, A History and began to read.
"Are you trying to break a record or something?" Ron asked as he watched her read.
"No why?" Hermione asked.
"Well you've only read that book about a billion times since we started Hogwarts six years ago." Harry said. Hermione rolled her eyes and shut the book. She got up and left.
"I think we "offended" her." Ron said. Harry laughed.
"Damnit. Now how am I going to do my Charms homework? Even though when she explains it, it seems like it's in French or Latin." Ron said. He sighed.
"Well I could help you." Harry said.
"Would you?" Ron asked.
"Sure why not. This DADA homework is a snap. I can do it later." Harry said as Ron passed him his Charms book.
"Now the first thing you do when you want to make the cactus disappear and move across the world is to first imagine where you want the cactus to go." Harry said glancing down at the book. Ron wrote it down then glanced up at Harry, who was looking through the book to find some more facts. Ron watched him. He's got some beautiful eyes. Ron thought.
"Ron… Ron… Ron did you put that down?" Harry's voice made Ron snap back into reality. Ron gave his head a little shake.
"Sorry what?" He asked.
"I said then you have to say Movere procul while you wave you wand counter clockwise." Harry said. Ron wrote that down too. "That's basically it."
"Okay cool. Thanks." Ron said.
Just then the tables, which were clear, were filled with plates, goblets, and silverware. The teachers were walking in one-by-one and the students were filling the seats. Hermione was walking towards them.
"Wow, its dinner already?" Harry asked Hermione as she sat down across from them.
"Yeah. You guys have been here for like an hour." Hermione said as she sat down and looked at Ron's homework. "Ok, this is too good to be done by you Ron." She said as she read it. "No offense." She added as he gave her a look that said back off.
"Harry helped me with it." Ron said. The food appeared and the students started to eat. "And it was a lot easier to understand when he tells it than you." Ron said, but in a low voice so that Hermione couldn't hear.
Ok you guys, I'm sorry that this is so short. I'm having trouble trying to tie everything in. But I hope your looking forward to me next chapter "… Is Always a Good Thing." n.n
