WOOD'S STORY
DISCLAIMER: once again, I would like to say that I own none of the Harry Potter characters. The characters of Elenore, Jen, Ian, Magalin, and Oliver's parents are my own creation.
CHAPTER SIX
"That was an interesting first class," said Oliver as he walked out of the Potions classroom with Elenore. "I hope Ian's all right," said Elenore with a worried expression on her face. "I heard that some of those ingredients could be lethal!" "Well, I think it was his own fault!" said Percy. "If he hadn't tried to spit those ingredients at me, he wouldn't have ended up in the Hospital Wing on the first day!" "Well, if you hadn't got on his case about every little thing he did, he wouldn't have wanted to do it in the first place!" spat Jen, who came out of the classroom behind them. "I'm just saying-" started Percy, but he was cut off when Jen finally let go. "You're just saying that you're always right and everyone else is wrong. That's what you're saying and you know it! Ian made his potion perfectly, and just couldn't admit it! The day that you finally realize that you're wrong is the day that you'll drop dead! AND THE DAY YOU DROP DEAD IS THE DAY THAT WE'LL ALL CELEBRATE!" With that, Jen stomped off. "She's right, you know." said Elenore. "Try being imperfect for a change, you'll find that it's a ball compared to being right. I mean, even Dumbledore must be wrong sometimes." Percy looked like he was going to drop dead on the spot. There was nothing he could do but walk away, which is exactly what he did. "That was amazing!" said Oliver. "How did you know what would make him leave?" "My older sister is exactly like that." Elenore answered with a smile. Oliver laughed. Elenore knew exactly what to do to make him laugh. "Come on, it's almost time for Charms." Charms was easy compared to Potions. All they had to do was make a feather float which, according to Professor Flitwick, was a standard charm for first-year students to learn. Ian came back during the first half of Charms, followed by Jen, who appeared to have calmed down. Percy, however, was not so sure. As soon as Jen entered the room, Percy quickly left his seat near the door and went to sit by Katie Bell. Oliver and Elenore moved over to make room for them. Ian, while still pale, looked like he was feeling better, so Oliver asked him if he was actually feeling better. "Never felt better, Oliver. In fact, I am going to try it again tonight. I nicked a tube from the Hospital Room, and I'm gonna make a catapult. Jen's gonna help." Oliver just shook his head and grinned. Transfiguration was probably easiest of all, because their Defense Against the Dark Arts class was a joke, much like their teacher. Their first assignment was to turn a feather into a cup. Oliver, Elenore, and Ian managed to turn their feathers into cups, but Jen only succeeded in turning her feather halfway, so that it looked like a cup, but still had feathers. Lunchtime was cool, sitting together and talking about their wimpy DADA teacher, Professor I.M. Wimpi. But dinner became exciting when Dumbledore announced what Oliver had been waiting to hear about all day: Quidditch practices.
well, folks, this is as far as i had on my website, so i'm gonna have to wing it on the next few. i think i can remember what i wrote though. it's just a matter of seeing if my memory still works!
