He may have been the last one on the bus, but he wasn't too late. He made it by 11:34. He didn't see a glimpse of Jay. He went off the bus and was about to walk in until he heard of voice whisper his name. He turned around to reveal a thinner and taller blonde boy with brown eyes that stuck out.
"Connor, sit down." He whispered to Connor. It was Connor's best friend, Jay. He hadn't seen Jay since they took a port key back home after the Hogwarts Express broke down. Connor sat down next to him on a well-patted chair. Jay reached into his pocket. He pulled something out and slid it onto the table, to Connor. Connor looked at it hard. He couldn't see it because he didn't have his glasses because he was in too much of a rush to find out Jay's good news. It was a small badge that had a blue 'P' on it. Connor didn't get it but then realized what it is.
"Oh my goodness! You're a prefect! Congratulations." Connor said. He felt annoyed. He wasn't happy for Jay because it was him who wanted to be prefect. He still had a chance of being Head Boy but Jay already had a better chance.
"I wonder who the other Ravenclaw prefect is." Connor and Jay were in their fifth year along with the rest of the Team. But it was true. Who was the girl prefect of Ravenclaw? Connor's sister, Lily was a prefect for Ravenclaw in her fifth and sixth year and then when she was a seventh year she was a Head Girl with her ex-boyfriend Derek Tinlee from Slytherin.
"So anyway, let's talk Quidditch, which I'm trying out for this year!" Jay said proudly.
"Shh," Connor shushed him, "we can't talk about the wizarding world here in a Muggle shop." All of the sudden, the man sitting next to Connor turned around and said,
"Wizards? What the hell are Muggles?"
"Oh no, let's go Jay." Connor whispered to Jay. Connor ignored the man and got out of his seat. Jay, being the guy that he was, took out his wand and muttered under his breath, "Obliviate." Connor, who had never heard the spell before, waited to see what the effect was. When he realized the man had lost his memory, he realized what Jay had done.
"Are you kidding me, Jay?" Connor said with fury, careful not to raise his voice, "you used a spell on a Muggle!"
He grabbed Jay by the arm and went outside. He found a bucket outside the café and muttered, "Portus." He told Jay on three to put his hand on the bucket. Connor counted to three, made sure no one was looking and transported them to Jay's house. It felt like a rollercoaster that would never end. Connor was about to throw up but held it in so he would vomit all over Jay. They finally landed in front of a large, narrow house.
"Why are we here?" Jay asked Connor, who was very pale at the moment.
"Because we're telling your family what just happened. You're going to get called for a hearing like my Uncle Harry also in his fifth year. You'll be lucky if Thinn doesn't take away your prefect badge."
They walked up stone steps to reveal and house that was a lot bigger on the inside then on the outside. Connor looked to his left and saw a dining room and a kitchen. To his right was a family room and directly in front of him was a staircase. A tall blonde woman walked out from the kitchen wearing gloves and an apron. She had brown eyes too like her son and Connor saw the resemblance between them.
"Hello Jay. Who's this?" The woman asked. She had a high voice but no too high. It reminded him of his mom's voice.
"Mum, this is Connor Grey Hamshire. Connor, this is me mum, Margret." Jay introduced Connor to his mom.
"So you're Connor Hamshire. Jay talks loads about you." She took off the cooking gloves and shook Connor's hand.
"Um, Mrs. Axen, We came here to tell you that Jay used the oblivious charm in front and on a Muggle."
"Jason Axen-!"
Connor cut her off, "sorry to interrupt, but we should be expected an owl from the Ministry soo-" Connor was also interrupted by an white feathered owl that flew through the open door and landed a letter on the floor. The letter magically flew off the floor and started to talk:
Dear Mr. Jason Andrew Axen,
We have received intelligence that you performed the Oblivious Charm at forty-three minutes past eleven this morning in a Muggle-inhabited are and on a Muggle.
The severity of this breach of the Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery has resulted in your expulsion from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
Jay gasped at that part.
"Ministry representatives will be calling at your place of residence shortly to destroy your wand.
Your hearing will be taking place at the Ministry of Magic at 10 a.m. on the seventh of October.
Hoping you are well,
Yours sincerely,
Peter J. Axen
