"Welcome to Charms class, students," Professor Filius Flitwick said as he wobbled into the room, he had just finished talking with an older student about some missing homework assignments. "Today we'll begin your year learning the Flying Charm. Fairly simple, the Incantation is Wingardium Leviosa, its Wand Movement? A swish an flick, like this," he took his wand out swishing a J shaped hook in the air as he said the Incantation before finishing it with the flick of his wrist. The Spell lifted books at his desk, creating stairs for him to walk upon and then stand on said desk so every student is able to see him. "You'll be practicing with feathers," he flicked his wand and feathers began to fly out from a desk drawer onto the student tables. "Begin." He nodded to them.
Hermione and Harry were seated next to each other and having a conversation. "Has Gerrod cursed you yet?" Hermione looked at Harry, surprised that he remembered her Breakfast incident.
"Don't you dare remind him." Hermione said threateningly. "Now let's get this Charm working, shall we? Wingardium Leviosa." Swishing and flicking her wand, Hermione focused her Magic, it coursed through her body, through her veins and to the wand. The Magic lifted the feather in the air, it floated gracefully.
"Nice," Harry said, watching her before trying with his feather. "Wingardium Leviosa." The same thing happened with Harry, his Magic responded to his will, surging through his body to his wand, causing the feather to fly.
"Extraordinary," Professor Flitwick commented once he realized whose feathers were flying around the room. "Well done Miss Malfoy and Mr. Potter. Five points to each of you." The two smiled. "Everyone else keep practicing, remember, swish and flick."
Class continued, some were able to get their feather flying, some, not so much. "Do you need any help?" Hermione asked Ron.
"Not from a snake." Ron retorted.
Hermione looked slightly offended. "Okay," she said, a little surprised at his rudeness. Ron yelled the Incantation once again, and once again saying it wrong as well as moving his wand improperly, and not focusing his Magic. Seamus blew up his feather somehow, Harry offered the boy his and helped him.
"Try focusing, Seamus, don't worry about the wand motion too much," Harry told him, "once you feel your Magic going to your body, then, do the Incantation and wand movements." Seamus nodded, doing what Harry advised, and it worked.
"Yes!" Seamus exclaimed. "Thanks, Harry."
"No problem." Harry said.
Charms went quite well, they learned the Unlocking Charm as well as Accio, Professor Flitwick had them change usage of their Spells ever couple of minutes to get them use to using their Magic as well as getting use to sending Magic to their wand. Nearing the last minutes of class he assigned them a ten inch paper as well as mastering the three Spells by next week. Then they were dismissed to Lunch, which started out quite peaceful.
"How were your classes?" Gerrod asked.
"I found them boring." Nermaius muttered.
"Of course, you did," Historia says with a roll of her eyes. She got herself some food, chicken and potatoes, sat down and began eating. Listening Nermaius tell Gerrod what his class did.
"Hey guys," Harry said, sitting down at the Slytherin table which he received some whispers about and a few glares and stares of confusion.
"Everyone's looking at you, you know, Potter?" Historia informed. "If I don't know any better, I'd say you liked the attention."
"Yeah right." Draco said, mouth half-stuffed with food, Hermione nodded and swallowed what was in her mouth, taking a drink of milk. "Did you see Weasel's face, Gerrod? Absolutely priceless."
Gerrod chuckled a little, grabbing his sides before returning to his stoic self, not before nodding yes to Draco's answer.
"Be nice." Hermione said.
"Why?" Draco asked. "He acts all high and mighty since he's in Gryffindor and then we find out he couldn't even answer the simplest question, quite ironic really." Hermione rolled her eyes, the rest of them either shrugged or nodded in agreement. "Hey what'd you guys get when you got analyzed by the Sorting Hat?"
"Why do you want to know?" Gerrod asked suspiciously, Draco just wanted to see who got the highest, secretly hoping his was.
"Actually, I was wondering myself." Hermione commented excitedly. "I wonder who got the highest marking between all of us?"
"My money's on Potter." Gerrod said. He reached in his robes and pulled his piece of parchment which held his results. Unrolling the scroll, he laid his results to be seen on the table.

"Two sixes, that's a shame, Historia." Gerrod said cockily.
"Shut up," Historia told her Brother, "at least I didn't get a Tier 3." Gerrod frowned and glared at his Sister, knowing she wasn't wrong.
"Guess I'm the last one." Draco said, producing his with a sigh.

"That's a lot of eights." Gerrod deadpanned slightly. "Merlin, there's only two nines." Draco shrugged and rolled his results up, the others doing the same, the group continued their talking and eating until they had to resume classes.
The rest of the day was uneventful, save for Harry finding out his Father was a natural Quidditch player, turns out, its hereditary.
