Chapter Six: Make-Ups

The pain of mind-bending is unreal.

Of course Professor Lupin wants us to learn but it was like getting shoved into a toilet over and over again. Though I must admit seeing Lena go woozy was in creditably satisfying. Poor Rachael suffered under Hermione's cruel will. I fear for any person who gets cursed by Hermione. Unfortunate things.

Of course we couldn't be helped by either our jewels or bonds because 1.) Our jewels can't work this type of magic and 2.) Professor Lupin forced our bonds upstairs. I needed Tucker!

Professor Lupin smiled at all of us, failing to hide a smile. The evil man was unstoppable! His hands clasped behind his back he wove through the groups lightly. "Good work Hermione, best curse I've seen today!" Hermione blushed, releasing the tight hold on Rachael.

"I don't know if that's something to be proud of." I mark, shaking my head to rid myself of the dizziness. "I believe it is," She said back. "That's all fine and dandy; just don't use it on me!" I smile, shaking inside of thought of being cursed by her. It seemed like something rather terrifying.

Professor Lupin, in the middle of the all the commotion, signaled everyone to stop. "Everyone practice the spell for tomorrow. I'll be testing you. You may head to your next class now."

People shuffled around for their things. Starting out the door, everyone becomes very pushy. I accidentally bump into Harry, again. "Sorry!" I can feel my cheeks flush brightly, hearing a giggle from Lena and Rachael's direction. "We'll go ahead; you guys have a 'chat'." Lena says, grabbing Rachael's arm without mercy.

"W-what…?" I start to say but they leave before I can say 'Painful curse'.

Rachael throws me a sympathetic look over her shoulder as Lena takes her down the corridors. I stand there with Harry in confusion. Is Lena starting to act weird already? I thought her weird phases were near the end of the year.

Before I can think of what they were talking about I found myself alone with Harry in the hallway. He looked as dumbstruck as me. If that was even possible, of course. "Um, what was she talking about?" he asked me, his glittering green eyes falling upon me. I hide a small blush by turning away.

"Well, maybe she thought we haven't talked in a while." I think quickly, walking towards the stairs. I hear Harry's footsteps behind me, trying to keep up. "You mean from this morning?" He raises an eyebrow down at me. Why is it boys become too tall?

"I'm only guessing. Lena's a bit loose in the mind if you know what I mean." I say briskly, feeling my stubborn, dominant self leaving. I run a nervous hand around my sloppy ponytail. "Hmm…," Harry stares ahead, leaving an awkward silence fill my ears. "So, um… where's our next class?" I ask timidly. What the heck is the matter with me today?

"Should be… Herbology, I think." He says, looking at his own schedule. I nod then glance up at him. "Mind if I walk with you? I kind of don't know where it is…"

"Sure, that'll be… okay." He smiles at me as we head to wherever the next classroom is. I try to ignore a strange fluttery sensation in my stomach.

After Herbology and Transfiguration everyone else was aloud to lunch (or supper, as they call it) while Rachael, Lena, and me had to grab a quick bite and head up to Professor McGonagall's for the 'make-ups'. It didn't sound very friendly.

Of course, we found out later we could only have one extra class which started tomorrow. Rachael's and mine were Magical Creatures and Lena's was Muggle study. (Since she thought it'd be easy)

Two hours every day of making up five years of Hogwarts wasn't looking very fun. Thankfully only Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick would teach us because I fear for myself if Professor Snape did. He scares the living daylights out of me.

Once we grabbed a quick lunch we headed up to the Transfiguration again. "I still don't understand why we couldn't have been here five years ago." I grumble. I already felt overwhelmed by the classes I have already, make-ups were going to be the death of me.

"Stop whining, at least we finally found someone to teach us magic…" Lena says, tossing a stray blonde hair back into place. "I thought we were doing fine on our own." Rachael says from beside me. "Me too." I quip, giving Lena the 'I-know-you-do-too look'.

She sighs dramactically. "So did I but it can't hurt to learn more, right?"

I fake gasp. "Did Lena, the Lena, say that it couldn't hurt, I can't believe I'm saying this, to actually learn? Oh what despair shall be put on to the world next! For the love of cheezits, why?!" I fake scream, receiving many giggles on Rachael's behalf.

"'For the love of cheezits' hmm…" she rolls her eyes. "Better think of something a bit better, if I do say so myself."

"I like it so shove off, Pinkie. Am I right, Rachael?" I ask while readjusting my black bag to the other shoulder. "Everyone loves cheezits…" she says simply, a small smile greeted our irritated frowns.

"That's right, everyone loves cheezits. So ha!" I grin widely at Lena. "Are we really having this discussion?" she asks, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, yes we are."

"Why again? I would rather discuss my shoe crisis that needs to be handled-" She starts to say but I just roll my eyes. Like I really want to talk about that.

"Oh, just get in the room!" I shove her through the door. Lena lands on her face, muttering some very bad words at us. To make things worse she landed right in front of Professor McGonagall. Professor Flitwick was laughing with Rachael and me.

Lena gets up in one quick gesture and brushes herself off, leaving a trail of dust in the air. "Why hello Professors… we're here to learn stuff." She smiles widely at Professor McGonagall. She peers down her spectacles at Lena, her thin lips curved upward ever so slightly.

"Graceful entrance, Davies. Take a seat you three." She says then waves her wand in the air and a large pile of books floats from her office.

"These are all the books you will need and should read. Of course I don't plan for you to finish all the lessons this year but next year you will. Also you'll need to spend an extra year here for O.W.L.S. and N.E.W.T.S." She waves the wands and the books find there places on our desk. About ten books each were placed in front of us.

Can you feel my terror?

"Um…" Lena was raising her hand a little, staring wide eyed in terror at the books placed in front of her. "Wait till I'm done discussing, Davies." Professor McGonagall said firmly. Lena's quivering hand instantly went down.

"As I was saying, since your mages, of course, it'll be easier for this to stick with you. Also because your old enough to understand it. The complications of her other classes will be a bit out of reach but I'm sure Granger will help."

"Today you'll be going over Charms so I won't be of any assistance. I'll be off because I have a couple of detentions to handle now. Good bye everyone, have a lovely evening." Professor McGonagall simply said and was off in a flash.

"Detentions already?" Rachael asks me. "I know. I'm scared too." I reply.

"Well," Professor Flitwick rubs his hands excitedly, "Remove those other books and we'll be starting the first chapter of charms today in the first year book. Let's get started!" He's says cheerfully.

At least it wasn't potions…

Missa: Sorry it's short but I was worried I wouldn't be able to get the chapter in on time.

Megan: Your just lazy, stop making excuses.

Missa: Do you want to die? Is that it, you want to angels? Huh, huh?

Megan: oO

Missa: …whore…
