Flitwick's Journal
Sept. 2 1991
The school year started yesterday where I was intrigued to see that Harry Potter has come to school. I had him in class today. We managed to practice the wand movement for levitating with out anything getting blown up.
The fifth years are preparing for O. as usual and when I reminded them of the exams they almost fell out of their chairs. A boy named Herald threw up and I had to send him to Poppy in the hospital wing. Percy Weasley almost jumped out of his seat and then exploded with questions so overwhelming I had to tell him that prefects were so special they got to ask questions directly to their heads of house, he skipped away beaming. Penelope Clearwater screamed something about not being able to charm a tissue box.
The seventh years taking charms are equally as anxious. I caught some one studying while I was talking and had to give another one detention for getting nervous and making my last tea pot fly out the window. He's across from me now writing "I will pay attention when I wave my wand at a tea pot."
