Chapter 6: The First Day of Classes Part II

After a horrible experience in potions class, Chelsea, Amelia, Samantha, and Jimmy were sitting at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall.

"Well, that couldn't have gone better," Amelia stated.

"You can't be serious," Jimmy replied.

"She's not Jimmy, she's just being sarcastic." Samantha replied in an annoyed tone.

"Come on you guys, don't start fighting," Chelsea stated. These past two days have been strange enough for all of us; the least we could do is…"

Chelsea's sentence was interrupted by a huge explosion. The explosion came from Seamus's wand; one of his spells backfired.

"I expected that and it still scared me," Chelsea stated.

Then, the Four heard owl screeches fill the room.

"Looks like the mail's here," Amelia stated.

Just then a parliament of owls came into the Great Hall, dropping letters and packages to the students. The Four were surprised when a pure white snowy owl dropped a sealed envelope on the table.

"We have an owl?" Jimmy asked.

"Never mind the owl, who would send us mail?" Chelsea replied.

"Open it Amelia," Samantha said.

So Amelia took the envelope and carefully opened the seal

"They're pictures, and each one has our names on them," Amelia declared.

The group each took the picture that had their name on it, and could not help but be puzzled by what they saw. Chelsea's picture was of a beach; Samantha's was of and old-looking volcano; Amelia's was of the sky; and Jimmy's was of a canyon.

"Why would someone send us these?" Amelia asked.

"I don't know," Samantha replied.

"Something is definitely going on around here," Chelsea stated.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The Four headed to the castle grounds after that for their first flying lesson.

"I'm so excited for this!" Samantha stated.

"Yaaay!" Chelsea thought.

"Oh God," Amelia thought.

"This sucks!" Jimmy thought.

After Madam Hooch showed up she welcomed everyone, and then she gave them directions.

"Stick your right hand over the broom and say "up"," she said.

Everyone said "up" and the brooms instantly came up for Harry and Samantha.

"Cool!" Samantha thought.

After saying up three times the brooms finally came up for Chelsea, Seamus, Dean, and Malfoy. Amelia, Ron, Hermione, and Jimmy were becoming rather annoyed by their brooms. Ron and Jimmy both said "up" in a demanding tone and their brooms flew up and hit them both on the head. Which made Harry, Samantha, Amelia, and Chelsea burst into laughter.

"Shut up," Jimmy and Ron said in unison.

After that Madam Hooch gave instructions for everyone to hover above the ground for a moment and then she blew her whistle. To everyone's surprise (except the Four's) Neville went flying in the air, unable to control his broom. After he fell off his broom and broke his wrist, Madam Hooch said she was going to take him to the hospital wing, and that no one is allowed to fly a broom or they'll be expelled. Then Malfoy took Neville's rememberal which fell out of his pocket when he fell, and started sneering Neville. Of course Harry told him to give it back and then Malfoy challenged him. As Harry flew off toward Malfoy, Chelsea, Amelia, and Jimmy were surprised to find Samantha following him.

"Samantha no!" Amelia and Chelsea said in unison.

"Give it back Malfoy," Samantha yelled.

"Or what?" Malfoy asked.

"Or I'll knock you off your broom," Harry declared.

"Is that so?" Malfoy asked. "Have it your way then."

Malfoy threw the rememberal in the opposite direction. Harry and Samantha quickly flew after it. Harry caught it and then told Samantha to go long. Samantha went speeding after it and caught it right before she landed. Of course Professor McGonagall had watched the situation from her window and had seen Harry and Samantha's impressive skill.

Just as everyone was cheering for Harry and Samantha, Professor McGonagall came out to the castle grounds.

"Harry Potter and Samantha Aston follow me," she ordered.

Harry and Samantha took their brooms and followed her.

"I know what this means for Harry but what about Samantha?" Chelsea whispered to Amelia.

"I don't know," Amelia replied.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

There's chapter six. So sorry it's taking so long. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease R&R!

P.S. A parliament is what a group of owls is called.
