Author's Note: The Hogwart's characters belong to J.K. Rowling while the Boston characters belong to me. The plot is mine, of course. If you want, please review nicely.
Chapter 8
"So, let's see, I have Transfiguration first, followed by Herbology, then Potions," Harry read. "Then Arithmancy, Charms, Lunch, Defense Against the Dark Arts then History of Magic. Whew! What a schedule! Is this for everyday?"
"Yep. One hour for each class. We keep the same schedule all week with a two-hour lab for potions on Saturday mornings," Tony explained. "Are we in any classes together?"
Harry gave him his schedule and Tony compared it with the others. Tony was surprised to see that he and Harry had three shared classes while Ron and Hermione shared only lunch, Potions, Charms, and DADA, while Hermione also had Arithmancy with Harry.
"We'll see you in Potions," Violet said, as she, Ron, Hermione and Tony left.
"We have first period together, Harry," Leondra said, taking his arm and pulling him towards the Transfiguration room.
"Good morning, Professor," Harry greeted his Hogwarts teacher.
"Good day, Potter. Take a seat," she instructed crisply.
After taking roll, McGonagall then explained what she expected out of her students. She gave them notes and they had time to work on a little project that Harry found a little easy. He was able to transform the block of wood into a porcupine.
After Transfiguration, Harry found his way to Herbology. There were the same kind of plants and flowers that he learned about at his other school. He then found his way back to the school for his first Potions class in Boston.
He met with Ron and Hermione at the door of the classroom and filed in quickly and quietly. They sat down with some trepidation as they saw Justin and Malfoy in the same class. Malfoy smirked at the trio as the other students came in.
The Boston students were all speaking with each other as Professor Snape swept in. He looked over the class and mumbled something about inappropriate clothing in a wizarding school. He was glad to see his students in their robes. He wasn't going to go easy because he was in a different school.
"Now, you may think that I may be easy but let me tell you, I WILL NOT TAKE ANY GUFF IN THIS CLASS! You are here to learn the subtleties of the fine art of potion making. I will try to teach you nitwits how to notice the intricacies of the ingredients of your potions," he said in a whisper that held the class spellbound.
He then wrote the ingredients for the potion they were going to study and told them that they were to research why each ingredient was used. They also had to answer the basic usage question and the timing of each use.
Before they knew it, class has ended. They all left Hermione and Harry alone as they made their way to Arithmancy. They sat down with Hermione started to explain what Arithmancy was about. Harry wondered why he had to take a class that he wasn't taking at Hogwarts.
When the teacher came in, he found out why. The teacher, Mr. Tabernacle said that Arithmancy was a required course for the Boston school. He knew that there were some students who haven't taken Arithmancy and decided to make the lesson a little easier than his usual.
When class ended, they found their way to Charms class. The teacher was the most beautiful witch the boys ever saw and they held on to every word she spoke. The girls were also entranced as they were trying the spell, Scrollis Perfectious, a charm to perfect your handwriting as someone else's handwriting.
