Chapter 7: Charms and rivality.

Rose was walking around in the hallways of Hogwarts. She was on her way to her next lesson, charms. They were going to start practice on nonverbal spells and she was excited about it. The other good thing about the lesson was that the Slytherins was going to be there. It was in the middle of September and she and Scorpius had been sitting together at every lesson they had, with was only four per week. Many liked that the Gryffindors and the Slytherins didn't have many lessons together but for Rose, it was torture. After a few minutes, she reached the classroom and was as always the first Gryfffindor student in the classroom, and as always, the only student in the classroom. She looked at her wristwatch and saw that the lesson started in ten minutes, when she saw that extra time, she opened her book about charms and started to read the chapter about nonverbal spells again to be sure that she remembered everything in case that she had to answer a question, with she was one hundred percent sure she had to. After a minute or two, she could hear voices of people talking to each other but she didn't really care that much. A few minutes later, everything got black when someone held his hand over her eyes, it was of course Scorpius.

"Ha, ha, very funny." she said as he took away his hands and sat down beside her. They were the only ones from different houses to sit beside each other in this class, or in every class they were in together.

"How are you today?" asked Scorpius.

"I'm fine, and you?" asked Rose.

"Same, but I'm excited because of the quidditch game between our houses next weak."

"Excited? Don't you mean nervous, because I know what happens every time Slytherin plays against Gryffindor." said Rose and Scorpius laughed at her comment.

"This time will be different, I promise." said Scorpius and Rose nodded.

"Okay, if you say so. Now to charms, what do you think about nonverbal spells?" asked Rose.

"I don't really know, I have heard that nonverbal spells are extremely hard to cast and they are often less effective then verbal ones, but I think it will be fun to try, what do you think?" asked Scorpius.
"I'm really excited, I have been wanting to learn about nonverbal spells since our third year, I have been reading this chapter in our book or charms over fifty times now." she said and Scorpius nodded to the answer, he knew how much Rose liked to try new things in school and she loved to challenge herself over and over again, it was one of the things he liked about her, she never gives up. After a few second, miss Abbott came into the classroom and everyone went silent.

"Good afternoon class, as you may knew if you payed attention last class, we are going to learn how to use nonverbal spells. As you may know, a nonverbal spell is a regular spell but instead of saying the spell, you're thinking it in your head. It is much harder for a nonverbal then a verbal spell to work and they're often weaker but if you're doing it right, it will be like using a verbal spell. A nonverbal spell craves a lot more energy and focus than a verbal spell and it can be very hard for beginners in this art to success with one, but when you do you'll get the upper hand in many things. Any questions?" asked miss Abbott and Rose was so excited for trying the new spell that she wished that no one would ask a question, and luckily for her, no one did. After a few seconds miss Abbott started to talk again.

"Today you'll try to use Wingardium leviosa on a feather like you did on your very first lesson in charms, but the difference is that you'll now use the spell nonverbal, good luck." she said and gave each person in class a feather to work with. Rose breathed and tried to relax as she tried to not think of anything other then making the feather levitate. She closed her eyes and opened them again and then.

Wingardium leviosa!

Nothing happened.
"Is it finally happening, Rose Weasley didn't fix the spell on her first try, am I dreaming?", asked Scorpius and Rose began to laugh at his comment.

"Try it yourself." she said and she saw when Scorpius didn't fix it, he looked like he was going to faint a few seconds later.

"Wow, it is harder then I thought." said Scorpius.

"Of course it is hard, this spell isn't taught to first years after all." she said and Scorpius nodded.

"But this time, I will be the one to fix the spell first." said Scorpius and Rose nodded as she looked into his eyes.

"Okay if you say that, challenge accepted", said Rose and immediately started to try again. After a few more failed tries she understand why Scorpius looked like he was going to faint, the whole class looked like that and she was not an exception. Her head was spinning and she felt a little like if she had to throw up. She knew that nonverbal spells would be hard but this was ridiculous, she couldn't even use Wingardium leviosa, the easiest spell of all spells ever created. Rose closed her eyes again and started to breath slowly. She thought of the feather levitating and thought the two words again, and to everyone's surprise the feather started to levitate. All of Rose wanted to scream "Yes I did it before you Scorpius!" but she knew that she had to keep thinking about the spell. She let her feather fly higher and higher and about one minute later, she let go and the feather started to fall from the ground as she put her wand down.
"Okay, I most say, that was really impressive.", said Scorpius and Rose smiled.
