Chapter Nine: Professor McGonnagall's Talk
"Harry, you can wait by the door. I need to talk to your sister." Harry nodded and walked back to the door, while Jo continued to walk forward. Sabrina was sitting in a chair in front of the professor's desk.
"Now, Jo. I was sitting here at my desk when Mr. Diggory comes running in to tell me about a haywire snitch he saw you catch." the Transfiguration teacher began. "I was wondering how would you like to participate in a new team-picking this year?"
"But, doesn't that mean that I will have to play against my brother?" Jo asked obviously agreeing to the team idea.
"Well, yes, but I will talk to Harry about it later. Right now, I want you to consider whether or not you want the job." The professor began
"I'll take it!" Jo said excitedly.
"Now Ms. Potter, I know you are quite enthusiastic about this, but I really want you to think about it. There could be some major rough time after everyone finds out a Slytherin is playing for Ravenclaw. There may be quite a bit of teasing and chiding and insults that may follow the first practice or game, so really think about it. Let me know your decision in the morning. You are dismissed. I must talk to Ms. Spellmen now."
Jo left the room to join Harry as Professor McGonnagall began her discussion with Sabrina. "I need to talk to you about my class." Were the starting words.
Ha ha, little smarty-pants has finally got a flaw in her learning. Jo thought to herself as she walked outside.
"Hey, was that Sabrina in there?" Harry asked while Jo walked out.
"Yeah, Professor McGonnagall needs to talk to her about her class. And I want to hear what happens." Jo said as she leaned against the wall with her ear pressed to it.
Harry shook his head.
"Well, I am going to my dorm." He said and walked out.
"Whatever." She said still listening. She heard this.
"Well Ms. Spellmen, I think you are doing excellently in class." Professor McGonnagall said.
"Well, thank you Professor." Sabrina said not sure of exactly how to respond.
"I was examining your first test, and matters show enough knowledge to be moved into a third year Transfiguration class." The professor said.
"Well...thank you miss. Wow." Sabrina said in awe.
"You're welcome Ms. Spellmen. You will begin your new transfiguration class tomorrow." The professor said. "You are dismissed." Sabrina came practically skipping out of the room.
"Well hello Jo. Nice to see you. I thought you would have already gone to lunch." Sabrina stated in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Oh.Um.well, I decided to.Um." Jo stammered as she tried to come up with an excuse for her waiting around.
"Walk with me to your dorm?" Sabrina suggested.
"Yeah."
"Harry, you can wait by the door. I need to talk to your sister." Harry nodded and walked back to the door, while Jo continued to walk forward. Sabrina was sitting in a chair in front of the professor's desk.
