AN: Alright, Chapter 3! Now, I probably would've had this chapter up much sooner, and instead would've been updating the fourth chapter right now, but my computer wigged out and deleted the chapter. Well... anyway... CHAPTER THREE!
DISCLAIMER: No I don't.

It is needless to say that none of the students were ready for term to start. It is also needless to say that none of the teachers were ready for term to start. They would all much rather be asleep in their beds, but instead they found themselves fighting against the drowsiness of summer, caused by sleeping in and relaxing in the sun.

But nonetheless, Hogwarts' students found themselves up and out of bed, none of them really concerned on arriving on time to their first class. Which is true, unless you were a sixth year student with Charms in the morning. None of the students dared to be late, fearing the wrath of this new teacher.

By the time the first bell rang, all of the students were seated, their supplies spread onto their desks, all of them prepared for their first class. Everyone except the professor. In fact, the professor was almost five minutes late. Or at least late enough to have the students shifting in their seats and murmuring amongst themselves.

Lee Jordan leaned over to the twin on his left. "Hey Fred," Lee muttered. "You think we should skive out before the teacher arrives?"

"Maybe," Fred muttered back. "Come on, let's get out of here." Fred stood up, gathering his things, before nodding at George and Lee who followed him. As they approached the back of the classroom, the door burst open and the young professor skidded into the room.

"Finally!" She exclaimed, a large smile on her face. "I've been looking for this room forever!" She laughed a colorful laugh, before reaching up to smooth her hair. She glanced around, and her gaze finally landed on the troublemaking trio. She looked at their bags, which were unstrapped and papers bursting from it. "Going somewhere boys?" She asked with a quirked eyebrow.

It took a moment for the boys to respond. It wasn't so much as the teacher's surprise arrival, but more the fact of the clothes she was wearing. Instead of the traditional robes that all the teachers wore, she instead was wearing a floral dress, showing off her bare shoulders and the bottom half of her legs. Needless to say, the boys were slightly distracted. The boys glanced at each other for a moment before back at their professor. "Of course not!" The exclaimed together.

The professor looked at them appraisingly for a moment, before slowly nodding her head. "Yes, of course not," she agreed, but the boys saw a look in her eyes, that convinced them that she didn't believe them. "In that case then," she started, "You should get back to your seats."

The trio nodded quickly before bouncing back to their seats and taking out their materials again. Amy shook her head at the boys, before walking to the front of room. She dropped her messenger bag onto the teacher's desk before turning around to face the students of the class.

"Good Morning! My name is Professor Wyman, and I am going to be your Charms teacher," Amy smiled at the class. Most of the students smiled back, but a few of them were still taken aback from her attire. "Since this is my first day here at Hogwarts, I guess I should introduce myself a little more." Amy leaned back against the desk, crossing her arms across her chest, and lifting her head slightly into a thinking stance.

"My name is Amy Wyman, I was born in Chicago, Illinois in the United States, I attended Salem Witch Academy, and I was Head Girl in my final year. While at school, Charms was not my best subject, but I found it was the subject in which helping others came most easily to me.

"My favorite color is blue, I enjoy reading, I spent most of my summers in the countryside, and I really do not like chickens. Along with reading, I spend a lot of my time messing with my siblings." Amy took a breath before completing her introduction.

"Now that my introduction is taken care of, we should probably get started with class," Amy concluded, Amy turned back to her desk, picking up her wand before turning back to the students. "Today, we're going to be working on turning vinegar into wine." Amy waved her wand, a flask of vinegar appearing in her hand. "As you can see," Amy placed the goblet on one of the student's desk before waving her wand once more and proclaiming the incantation. "If you do the spell correctly, the vinegar should change into a sweet, red wine.

"Now," the professor instructed, "The theory and computation of the spell can be found on page 254 in your books. You should all probably review that before beginning. Or you can skip the theory and computation and try the spell out." Several of the students looked up at her, disbelief on their faces. "You can tell me how that goes afterwards." The students laughed, surprised at the lightness that this new teacher exhibited. "Well, go on!" Amy exclaimed waving her hands at the students.

In the end, it was probably one of the most enjoyable Charms class the students had ever had. Their professor spent most of her time joking with them (after they had completed the assignment of course) and laughing at the expense of George Weasley, when his goblet exploded all over him. At the end of the class, the students waved good-bye to the young teacher, all of them laughing and smiling as they went off to their next class.

She wasn't nothing like the other teachers, that was for sure. She was young enough to be their sister, and she had a sense of humor, something almost all teachers lacked.

As the last student exited the room, Amy turned to her desk, gathering her papers and organizing them into an orderly pile on the edge of her desk. While her back was turned, she didn't hear anyone enter the room, and it wasn't until someone grasped her shoulder, that Amy spun around, her wand held in front of her.

"Excuse me miss!" Professor Dumbledore exclaimed heartily. "I did not mean to startle you. Although, it seems as if that is how I have come to greet you."

Amy laughed along with the professor, lowering her wand. "What can I do for you professor?" Amy questioned a graceful smile on her face.

"Ah, yes," Dumbledore replied. "Well, I am here to ask if you could do a small favor for me." When Amy nodded he continued. "As you know, we have preparing for the Triwizard Tournament, and to help prepare the grounds for the first task, a team of experts will be arriving tonight to set up enclosures for some of the creatures that will be used. I, unfortunately, am unable to meet the team tonight, due to a previous engagement, so I wonder if you could possibly meet them tonight, and show them the land that has been set aside." Dumbledore looked at her imploringly for a moment, awaiting Amy's response.

"Oh, of course," she answered. "It's no trouble at all."

"Excellent!" Dumbledore cried, clasping his hands together. "Now, you already know where the enclosures will be, so you will just need to show the team where to go. When they arrive, ask for Charlie Weasley, he should be the one in charge."

Amy looked at Dumbledore curiously for a moment. "Weasley? As in… George and Fred Weasley?"

"Ah, yes," Dumbledore continued. "Charlie is one of the Twins' older brothers."

"One of?" Amy questioned again.

"The Twins have three older brothers, a younger brother, and younger sister. I am sure that by the end of the school year, you will be introduced to all of them," Dumbledore answered. "Now, if you will excuse me. I am after all an extremely busy man."

Amy laughed lightly. "Of course professor. Have a good day."

"You as well Miss Wyman."

AN: Alright, Chapter three... fourth chapter should be up soon!
