Hermione continued down the corridor. She hoped she wasn't going to be late. She loved Charms. It was one of her favourite lessons. After Transfiguration of course. She was slowly learning to become an animagi under the tutoring of Professor McGonagal (A.N.~ My spelling isn't that good OK?). She wanted to become a cat. A beautiful, sleek and distinct cat. She was hoping to become a registered animagi by the end of her time at Hogwarts.
When she arrived at her Charms lesson, Professor Flitwick had already started. He looked at her when she entered the room.
"Ah, Miss Granger. You are late. The lesson has already started."
"I'm terribly sorry," said Hermione with no hint of sarcasm in her voice whatsoever. He saw her look deep into his eyes with a look of full of sorrow that he decided against what he was going to say.
" Alright Miss Granger. As it is your first time you have been late to one of my lessons in all of the six years you have been here, I will let you off. Try not to be late again."
"Thank you Professor!" Hermione said gratefully and hurried to her seat, which was next to her best friend, Piper. Although she had known Harry and Ron for longer, she really needed a girl to be best friends with, so Piper had been her best friend for the past 3 years. They told each other everything, had many many laughs, and they also guarded each other's secrets under no spell at all.
"What happened? You're never late!" she exclaimed.
"Guess," she said, "the usual. Those guys just don't give up do they?!" They both sighed and continued to listen to P. Flitwick.
"Today," he said in his normal, high voice, "we will be learning the Truth charm. Does anyone know what a Truth charm is?" Hermione's hand shot up as usual.
"A Truth charm, or the Truth test, is used to prove if a written document contains lies or truths."
"Correct. Take 5 points for Gryffindor. Now, does anyone know how it shows if a document is lying or not? Yes Miss Granger."
"If a document is telling the truth, it will glow a faint red, then fade away after 30 seconds. If a document is lying, then the person performing the test will hear a scream and red sparks, which do not harm you in anyway, will fly back at you. If a document contains both, the sentences that are true will glow red for as long as you need it to." Hermione said knowledgably.
"Absolutely correct. Take 10 points for Gryffindor." All the Gryffindors in the classroom beamed at her.
"Now everyone take out your wands and repeat after me. Trutestia. Good. Now remember: Point and flick. That's it, use your wrists. Well done Miss Granger. Excellent. Another 5 points for Gryffindor. Good."
Before the end of the lesson, Hermione had mastered it perfectly, practicing on scraps of parchment.
At the end of the lesson, P. Flitwick called Hermione over.
"Professor Dumbledore would like you to go to his office straight away. Don't worry," he added hurriedly seeing the look on Hermione's face, "You have done nothing wrong." Hermione could do nothing except to head towards Dumbledore's office.
