Chapter Four

Rebecca frowned at her wand, trying not to look across the room at the annoying git that kept trying to get her attention. Out of the corner of her eye, he seemed to look away so she chanced a glance up at him.

He was about six feet tall, though she couldn't see the bottom half, with brown hair that stuck-up slightly in the front, and grey eyes that made her want to punch a wall every time she saw them. He had a nice, rounded face and a slightly turned-up nose, with perfectly straight, white teeth. His smile made her want to smile and punch a baby at the same time; the smirks he continued to flash at her were with one side of his mouth and really set her hair on fire.

She blushed furiously as she realized he was looking back at her. He winked at her before turning back to Professor Willey, who had been speaking the whole time.

"Today we're learning how to turn the beetle in front of you into a button."

She told the class the incantation, taught them the wand movements, and set them to work. The only person in the classroom that mastered the spell faster than Rebecca was Kevin, and they both earned five points to their respective houses, she a Slytherin and he a Ravenclaw.

Rebecca jumped when she finally heard the bell and quickly packed up her things before getting caught in the throng of moving bodies trying to get out of the door.

Well, that wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, she thought amusedly. Maybe these classes won't be so difficult.
