It was nearly the end of October and Cory, Shawn and Topanga have been adjusting to first month at Hogwarts.
Cory was writing a letter to his parents about how life has been going at Hogwarts.
"Dear mom, dad, Eric and Morgan,
My first two months of Hogwarts is going great. Shawn and Topanga are alright as well. Me and Shawn have been in Gryffindor house while Topanga is in the Ravenclaw house. Though I was disapointed but I eventually got used to it since she has almost the same classes as us. Shawn has been doing great with the subject Defense Aganist The Dark Arts lately, though he got long way to go. Didn't I tell you he made the Qudditch team? It's a sport team on broomsticks Shawn told me. And it's very cool! Topanga has been good with potions lately despite our rude professor who likes taking points away from our house. By the way, the points mean that when you do something good you gain points, and when you do something bad, you lose points. But we didn't do anything bad and he still takes away points from our house. Clearly something is really suspicious with this guy. He's actually more worse than Feeny. By the way, how is Mr. Feeny? How has he been doing?
As for me, I don't know what my favorite subject is yet. Some were actually more and more boring than the stuff I never learned back at home. I think the charms class is the easiest that I know of because of the fact that it has nothing to do with anything to write down, but my wand is always not working for me much lately. I don't know if its me saying the words wrong, or the motions is not right, but I am trying my hardest. I only know very few spells and they work. So me, Shawn and Topanga have made some new friends. First we met Harry Potter. He's seems nice and cool, but he is actually very popular in the Wizarding World because he is 'The Boy Who Lived.' Our friend Hagrid told us the story of how this bad guy that is a huge threat to everyone kills his parents, he was going to kill him but instead gave him the scar… Which I never knew what it means. I also met Ron Weasley who is a good friend and me, Harry and Shawn's roommate along with Neville Longbottom… I know I literally tried to hold it together the first time I heard that name. And we made friends with Hermione who is literally like Topanga, but pretty much more showoffish than her. One day, she actually showed off by answering every question before everyone else gets a chance. I gotta be honest here, she's more annoying than Topanga.
Anyways, how are you all doing? I kind of missed you all! I hope I didn't miss anything while I'm away learning about magic. I love you all. I hope I can come home soon.
Oh, and one last thing. I hope you love my new owl Hendrick. But be careful with him. He bites.
-Cory Matthews."
He went over to the owlery and put the envelope into Hendrick's mouth and sent him flying away knowing it's gonna be a while to get the letter back.
Cory, Topanga, Shawn, Harry, Ron and Hermione sit in charms class and Professor Flitwick, who is very short and standing on the books begins, "One of a wizard's most rudimentary skills is levitation, the ability to make objects fly. Uh, do you all have your feathers?"
Hermione holds up her feather. All students happen to have feathers in front of them.
Flitwick continues, "Good. Now, uh, don't forget the nice wrist movement we've been practicing, hmm? The swish and flick. Everyone."
Everyone picked their wands up and then waves their wands before saying with their professor, "The swish and flick."
"Good. And enunciate. Wingardium Leviosa. Off you go then."
Then all the students begin practicing but most struggle. Ron mostly struggled with it.
"Wingardrium Leviosaa!" Ron says whacking with his wand a couple times.
Hermione says stopping him, "Stop, stop, stop. You're going to take someone's eye out. Besides, youre saying it wrong. It's Levioosa, not Leviosaa." She shakes her head as she said it in an annoyed tone.
Cory then said sitting next to them, "Then why don't you do it if you're so clever? Go on, go on?" She urges her.
Hermione frowned before casting the spell crisply, "Wingardium Leviosa." And then her feather starts lifting up off of the desk. Everyone stopped as they watch Hermione's feather raise up high.
Flitwick is impressed. He cheered jovially, "Oh! Well done! See here everyone! Ms. Granger's done it! Oh, splendid!"
Ron groaned and Cory says determined, "I'll show her!" He points his wand at the feather before swishing at it. "Wingardium Leviosa!"
But then his feather catches on fire.
Shawn asked, "Is it supposed to do that?" And Cory shakes his head no.
"I think we're going to need another feather over here professor," Harry said looking at it as well.
"It's Levioosa! Not Leviosaa!" Ron mocks Hermione on the way out of class behind her back.
The guys all laugh except for Topanga who is getting mad at them for teasing her because little did they know that Hermione walking behind them.
"She's a nightmare! Honestly!" Ron complains as they walk down. "No wonder she hasn't gotten friends."
Cory laughs at Ron's comment, "True that."
"Ditto," Shawn agrees. "More of a pain than Topanga."
Just then Hermione pushes past them and letting her her tears fall. They stopped dead on their tracks seeing that she kept walking and heard her sniffles.
"I think she heard us," Harry said really serious.
Topanga then shouts angrily, "Of course she did you dumb idiots! All of you owe her an apology!" Then she ran off to catch up with Hermione to comfort her.
Harry sighed looking at his three other friends, "She's got a point you know..."
"You were laughing too mate," Ron defends.
"Yeah, for only like a second! Like she said Ron, you owe her an apology," Harry said with a hint of fury getting an annoyed glance from Ron.
Topanga hurried over to Hermione and asks, "Hermione? Are you alright?"
She sniffles shaking her head no.
"C'mon. Let's go someplace where we can talk alone," Topanga says comfortingly wrapping an arm around her as they walk inside the castle.
Again, positive reviews please!
