A/N: Sorry for the late update. Anyways, I'm not J.K. Rowlings.

The rest of their day was pretty cool. Transfiguration was with the Hufflepuffs and was amazing. There was ton of note taking that was super complicated, but Ginny and Luna did not really care. The practical portion was awesome enough. They were all given toothpicks and were told to turn them into needles. Ginny and Luna were the only ones who were able to make the the full transformation by the end of the class period, the only ones coming close being Aubrey Georges, a Hufflepuff. It seemed that Ginny's inner Ravenclaw was coming out.

The other lessons they had that day were Herbology, Potions, and History of Magic. Herbology was nice. Professor Sprout was a nice old witch who made sure that everybody felt comfortable and confident. It would actually be pretty cool to be in Hufflepuff. They even had an alleged marshmallow night. Eventually, they would get to taking care of snargaluff pods, but they were now working with basic bean sprouts for the next two class periods.

History of Magic was just plain boring. Ginny had no clue how Professor Binns was still teaching after death. That had to be some sort of illegal, as Ginny was almost positive that he was not being paid. She and Luna were some of the few who were actually able to stay fully alert during the class period. It was even harder because it was a double period, which they had every two class periods.

Potions was, well, interesting to say the least. I had heard some bad stuff about Professor Snape from Ronald and Harry over the summer. They seemed to not like him one bit. Professor Snape was allegedly incredibly biased. Ginny was interested to see what Potions lessons were actually like.

When Ginny and Luna entered the classroom, they sat down right at the front of the classroom. The tables were in pairs of two with a cauldron for each. A couple minutes later, the class was full with first year Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs were all seated and waiting for Professor Snape to appear. He finally billowed in a few minutes later. He gave a brief and dramatic overview of the class and then told us to brew a potion based on the instructions on the board. Ginny frowned and shared a look with Luna. She seemed to be thinking the same thing. Ginny raised her hand. Professor Snape looked up from his desk almost immediately.

"What do you need, Miss Weasley? I thought my instructions were perfectly clear?" Professor Snape asked menacingly. Ginny steeled herself for any anger inducing comments.

"Are you going to explain the instructions to us, sir?" Ginny asked politely. Professor Snape sneered and seemed to want to make a degrading comment, but held back, probably because Ginny was polite. He settled for shaking his head menacingly. When he looked back down, Ginny raised her eyebrows at Luna, who was boiling water in the cauldron. It seemed like bad teaching to just tell students to do whatever.

Ginny and Luna continued to brew the potion. It was fairly easy, just a simple cure for boils potion. This would sure be useful in a school full of awkward preteens and teens. At the end of the class period, Professor Snape collected the potions and actually did not criticize Ginny and Luna's like he did for Roberto's and Sophie's. Overall, there would be some issues with Potions that were blaring in her face, but it would be an okay class over all. There was still no safety measures taken. Ginny would have to take that up with another teacher. Professor Snape never would listen to her concerns.

And then the day was over. Ginny and Luna decided to relax outside by the lake while they finished their homework. It was a nice day, and the grass was refreshingly cool. Ginny and Luna finished their homework within the hour, with the potions essay taking the longest. They ended up having a long discussion about why flowers should actually grow during winter at Hogwarts, until Ginny spotted Percy off writing in a book.

"But there are clearly climate changing charms in the wards th-" Luna said, being interrupted by Ginny standing up. Percy never really tended to write stuff that wasn't for school, and it seemed a bit odd that he would be writing in a diary, or drawing for that matter. Percy's drawings were awful.

Percy saw Ginny approaching (Luna still didn't like him, and decided to say behind) and immediately blushed and slammed the book shut. He had been getting even more nervous lately. Then again, it was his OW.L. year, and most of the people in his grade would have nervous breakdowns.

"Hey, Perce," Ginny said brightly. Percy relaxed considerably.

"Hey, sorry Ginny, I thought you were Fred or George for a second," Percy said. Ginny grinned and looked at his book.

"What are you writing?" Ginny questioned. Percy blushed as red as his hair. Ginny decided to leave it at that and just leave him alone. She wished him a good day and left to sit back down with Luna, who suggested that he could have been writing about some sort of love interest. The Wrackspurts around his head apparently told her that. Ginny's eyes made to look out over the lake, and then she noticed that Luna's charm bracelet was missing.

"Luna, did you lose your charm bracelet?" Ginny asked. Luna scoffed and almost denied that outright, but then she looked at her wrist and realized that it was gone.

"My mummy gave that to me! Where did I see it last?" Luna said distractedly. Ginny helped her search for about thirty minutes, retracing all of their steps, but the bracelet was nowhere to be found. They gave up looking soon after and Ginny took to consoling Luna. She had no clue where it could have gone, but she could have sworn that she saw Beth and Jessica hiding smiles behind their hands.
