Chapter 3: Magic classes are AWSOME
To my great surprise, and joy, Hufflepuff and Gryffindor had transfiguration together. It was taught by Professor Arianna Macmillan. She seemed really nice in my opinion. When I walked in she was writing some instructions on the board. This seemed to be similar to regular schools so I was relived. However once the class started I began to realize that it was nothing like a regular classroom. We were working on the basics of transfiguration today so it was mostly talk but before long we'd be turning buttons into needles.
Lily was disappointed that I wasn't in Gryffindor with her. She did her best though to convince me that Hufflepuff was a good place for me.
"Yea Al said that Hufflepuffs were good and that you will do well there," she commented during transfiguration when we were given a few minutes to talk amongst ourselves while we took some notes from the board.
The only thing I seemed to hold on to was that Albus said Hufflepuff were good. Did that mean he like girls from Hufflepuff? Did he prefer them or was he just being nice? Oh for goodness sake, I thought to myself. I am over thinking this way too much. Besides he is a third year. What is going to want with a stupid first year like me?
"Hello," Lily said waving her hand in front of my face. I slowly turned my head to her and realized she had been talking to me while I was dreaming about her brother.
"Sorry. What?" I asked coming out of my trance, a slight blush staining my cheeks
"I said that Al said not to worry about being in Hufflepuff because they are all really nice people," she repeated with a smile.
"Albus likes Hufflepuffs?" I asked her hopefully.
"Yeah, he said they're sweet," she said with a shrug as she turned back to taking notes.
My heart leaped in my chest at that. Albus liked girls from Hufflepuff and thought they were sweet. Maybe there was hope after. I swear a goofy grin didn't leave my face for another hour at least.
Next we went to Charms, which was taught by professor Flitwick whom apparently had taught here when Lily's parents were there. Then there was History of Magic, taught by a ghost named Professor Bins, and our fist flying lesson was after lunch. Lily and I agreed to eat lunch with each other and we would switch tables every other day. Today we ate the Gryffindor table and Lily introduced me to her roommates. We were sitting there eating when suddenly someone sat down next to me. With a glance over, I saw that it was Albus.
"Hey Jaynie. How was your first day of classes?" he asked as he piled food onto his plate.
"Fine," I said shyly, the food before me all but forgotten. I could feel my check getting red. Why oh why do I have to be blessed with cheeks that blush at everything?
"That's good," he said and flashed me his amazing smile, it seemed whenever he smiled his green eyes just got brighter and brighter. I watched as he took a bite of potatoes
"Yea," I said smiling back at him.
"So," he said looking around the room, "have you wrote and told your parents all about Hogwarts yet?"
"Wrote to my parents?" I asked looking at him. I had completely forgotten about them with all the excitement!
"You did tell your mum and dad that you made it to Hogwarts didn't you?" he asked with a slight smile, as if he could tell I'd forgotten.
"Oh my gosh, I completely forgot!" I exclaimed, standing up. "I better go! Bye Albus," I said as I grabbed my stuff and headed for the door. I had promised my mother I would owl her as soon as I got here. Before I'd even got out the door I realized I had no owl and didn't know anyone with an owl. Maybe Lily had one. I turned around and ran back over to the Gryffindor table. Lily was still in deep conversation so I walked over to Albus.
"Hey Albus…" I started really softly feeling like a total idiot, blushing.
"You need directions to the school owlery?" he asked with a knowing smile.
"Uh yeah," I said with a laugh, blush still bright.
"Here, I'll show you" he said with smile, getting up. He looked down at his now empty plate and grabbed his bag. "It gives me an excuse to get away from all these girl hormones," he said jokingly, pointing towards his sister.
I laughed; Albus was so funny. He led me out of the Great Hall and towards the Owlery. We were silent most of the way. He hates me he probably thinks I am so boring, I thought to myself. Finally we reached the Owlery.
Inside the fairly open room were hundreds of school owls, just waiting to be picked to deliver a letter. The floor was fairly covered in owl droppings so Albus motioned to the stairs that led up here for us to sit on while I wrote my letter to my parents.
Mum and Dad,
Hogwarts is great. I got sorted into Hufflepuff house and I have made some friends. Classes are awesome we get to learn to make feathers fly and change buttons into needles, not too exciting I know. But older students change animals into goblets! I am getting ready to head off to my first flying lesson. But don't worry, if I break anything Lily said they can mend bones in like two seconds with a spell? We'll I'll try to write soon.
Love you and miss you,
Jaynie
I rolled up the letter, attached it to an owl, and sent it off. After that we left and went to sit by the lake. I was starring out thinking about this whole new world I had been thrown into when I heard him speak beside me.
"So what's your family like?" Albus asked in a soft voice.
"Like normal muggles I guess. My Dad's a lawyer and my Mum teaches at a school. I have one older brother, Bobby, and he is really annoying," I answered, smiling at the thought of my family.
Albus laughed, "I know all about annoying older brothers. You haven't met James yet, but trust me when you do you won't be able to forget him."
We both laughed. "Thank you Albus," I said genuinely, smiling at him.
"For what?" he said.
"For making me feel welcome and being my friend. Making friends has never come easy for me and I'm really glad I met you and Lily," I answered honestly, blushing slightly.
He smiled back at me and gave me a sideways hug from where he sat beside me. "Hey any friend of Lily's is a friend of mine. Now come on it's almost time for the best thing about being magical."
"What's that?" I asked him, a bit confused.
"Flying!" he answered with a smile as he pulled me to my feet and we took off to find Lily.
