Ch. 5
Let's play, catch up
Aug 15
Trel found it hard to go back sleep after eavesdropping on Lupin and Sirius conversation.
What did they mean by being chosen? The Force, or did they mean something else. Maybe I'm just over paranoid. I get the feeling that Mr. Black doesn't like us at all.
Disturbed by someone coming up the stairs. Light could been seen though the curtain. Deciding since she was already up might as well get dress and go get breakfast.
She could hear who ever it was knocking on all the doors doing hers last.
Everyone was now getting up and ready as Trel headed down the stairs to the table. Passing the big Black dog on the way in to the kitchen. Soon the group was sitting and eating. Excitedly talking about what they would be studying today. Amy and Savanna were leading the conversation with Jason throwing in side comments. Matt and Niki listen closely, with Trel off in her own little world.
"You two are acting like Hermione when she found out that they would be starting their new class in their third year." quip Jason playfully
"We're just wondering what it is we will be learning today that all." was Savanna lofty reply.
"Well we won't have to wait long here comes Lupin with a lot text books." observed Matt who sat opposite the door.
At that Lupin came through the door handing out the books that would have been needed for first year students." The only course we will not be covering is history. Every year they test the knowledge that you have learned that year, but to learn the more advanced spells you will need your basics first. So the history I will leave up to you," he said as he finished handing out the books " by Wednesday I hope to be in the second year books."
Trel, coming out of her musing had deciding she is going to be the best wizardess or what ever they'd call a girl that she could be, even if that meant hitting the books, she'd show that over grown poodle what she could do.
Amy was thinking almost the same thing. She fell in love with the books. Now she had the chance to live them. She could give Snape a piece of her mind for once, instead of just yelling at the pages.
Lupin's voice rang out again. "If everything goes well this week, I have a treat for you this weekend"
The group wondered at this, what could he mean by treat. Amy thought that it might be some more ice cream sundaes. That would be the kind of treat she would like.
"So is everyone ready to start. You're first lesson will be Transfiguration with Sirius, then Charms with me, followed by Herbology, Sirius will then give you a Potion lesson after lunch, after that Divination, I will teach you Defense Against the Dark Arts. After supper you will be taking Care for Magical Creatures with Hagrid and finally Astronomy with myself before one last snack and off to bed. Did I miss any." Asked Lupin after he listed everything off.
Amy listened closely so she wouldn't miss any Lupin said.
"Man do we get time to go to bathroom at all." Said Jason after hearing his schedule for the next two weeks
"Jason" said Savanna mortified
Lupin ignored Jason comment and went on. "Now hurry up and eat, it going to be a rough two weeks for all of us."
Everyone finished breakfast and headed for the living room, which now had desk in it instead of the big comfy armchairs.
Sirius was in his dog form at the head of the class. He waited for everyone to be seated. Then changes from dog to man within a blink of and eye.
"For those of you who haven't read the books, What I just did was Transfiguration. Changing one thing into another." Sirius explained starting the class off, right a way.
The morning melted into afternoon. Afternoon turned into evening. Soon the group was sitting in the comfy chairs that were back in the living room, sipping the hot cocoa before bed. The desk pushed off to the sides of the room, and the fireplace warm and inviting.
Amy ventured a question in the sleepy silence. "Why are we working so hard?"
Well we all agreed to get into school mode that you would work hard during the week and rest on weekends to do homework or extra work if need be." Replied Lupin.
"What do you mean homework." Asked Savanna a little surprised by this.
"Only if you start to fall behind the others, So don't worry so much about it. I'm sure that it won't happen yet. We had a good first day. Niki and Matt will have to try harder tomorrow but everyone really did will, especially Amy and Savanna. You two are catching on real quick." Said Lupin. "Now time for bed everyone."
With that everyone finished off their cocoa and when to bed.
The next 4 days few by just as quick. Now it was the weekend
