We were the last people in Herbology, because I had to go back to the common room to get my books. The gong/bell hadn't rung yet. Luckily.
As soon as I stepped into the room, people swarmed around me and asked me about my 'cutting class.' Whatever.
I shoved them off and sat down in the back row with none other than James on one side and Peter on the other. The teacher--Professor Seedling--took roll call, and I couldn't believe it when he skipped me. I stood up after 'Patrick Fahrquist' and said, "Excuse me?"
He looked up from the list with almost utter disbelief. He must have heard about me missing class. Well, he heard wrong.
I went right up to him, took the paper from him (careful to leave a papercut) and exclaimed, "I am on here! And here I am thinking I wasn't enrolled in this class. Guess I didn't bring my stuff for nothing." I strutted back to my spot, smiling.
The rest of the class was just taking notes.
The next class, Charms, was the same way. My named skipped, a big deal made about it courtesy of your's truly, and some notes were taken.
Oh yeah, we also changed matches into needles. The teacher said something about nobody being able to do it in Transfiguration and that McGonagall wanted to try it out in Charms class. It took a while for me to dig my wand out of the bottom of my bag.
I had never done magic before in my life, and I was the first done. James looked a little ticked; he probably expected that being a wizard born that he would be the first done. Sorry, Charlie. You are not the best kid in the school, I wanted to say. But instead I just kissed his cheek and enjoyed the touched-by-anger expression on his face. Peter, Remus, Sirius and I laughed for a long time.
Dinner was way better than the beginning of my day. Excluding my shower.
