Chapter 6: Family Matters.
:::::::::::
After Malfoy had stormed out, Jimmi saw his dad's face fall somewhat in surprise, but he quickly regained his composure.
He cleared his throat and looked at the Ravenclaw side of the class, where he saw a yellow-colored Jimmi. "Jimmi, why don't you come up here and finish the demonstration?"
Jimmi couldn't exactly refuse, so he made his way up to the front of the class.
His dad smiled and cleared his throat, "Opelentia!" he cried, sending a purple jet at a cabbage, the plant glowed purple.
Jimmi scratched the back of his neck, "Um... light I guess. It doesn't really hurt anything." He muttered
Harry smiled, "Very good, you can sit down."
Jimmi nodded and headed to his seat as fast as he could, getting weird faces from the Slytherins, as he was yellow, but the Ravenclaws for the most part didn't seem mad at him for making the potion's class blow up.
"Ok, now would you all please open your books to page 12." Commanded his dad. Everyone did as they were told and for the most part, the class went by without any explosions.

Morwen groaned as she made her way out of the classroom and towards the Ravenclaw commons. She had always had a short temper and was trying really hard at the moment to harness her anger.
She was failing miserably.
She was so flustered, in fact, that she didn't even notice it when she slammed into a teacher.
"Sorry." She mumbled.
"Quite alright." Was the reply, "But shouldn't you be in class?"
Morwen looked up into the face of Mrs. Krum, the Charms teacher. She quickly scanned her head for a plausible excuse, "I- ah, um..... I'm running a note to Mrs. McGonagell." She managed to spurt out.
Professor Krum rose an eyebrow, "Then you can just give it to me, I'm on my way over to her office now."
Morwen felt her face heat up. /C'mon Morwen think!/ she yelled at herself. "It's just a...er...um doctor's note!"
Krum's face remained skeptical, "Why do you have a doctor's note?"
Morwen scrambled around in her head, she had always been a terrible liar, "I have an allergy to a substance I'd rather not identify." She said, "I'm very sensitive about it, so I'd like it to remain private."
Krum rolled her eyes and sighed, as if in defeat, "Well then, go about your business." She said.
Morwen thanked Merlin and every other deity she had ever heard of as she made her way to the Commons.

almost entirely too quickly, DADA was over.
Jimmi tried to gather his stuff as quick as he could and head out of the door, thereby missing a heart-to-heart with his father.
He jumped out of his seat and headed towards the door when he heard, "James?" come from his dad.
He groaned and turned around, soon everyone was out of the room.
His dad was at his desk, clearing up things and getting ready for his next class. "I just want to know how school's been so far, you don't have to run away." he said.
Jimmi once again scratched the back of his neck, confrontations with his dad always felt like he was going face-to-face with you-know-who himself. "Oh, ah, sorry." He said.
His dad sat down, "So how's...um....Ravenclaw doing?" he stated.
Jimmi inwardly sighed, right now he was supposed to complain about how awful it was and how he'd rather be in Gryffindor, but he couldn't make himself, "It's ok I guess."
Harry nodded, seeming to accept that as I'd-rather-not-talk-about-how- horrible-it-is phrase. "I heard you and Snape got into it today?"
Jimmi swallowed a hard lump in his throat. He was in trouble, he jumped quick to defense mode, "I didn't mean to! He asked me to make some potion and I accidentally exploded the class and made everyone yellow, so then everyone was screaming and I really didn't mean to do it and I tried really hard-"
"-Whoa, calm down James, I wasn't mad." Stated Harry, putting his arms up in defense, "I was awful in Potions too. I'm just going to offer some advice," He continued, "If I were you, I'd get a tutor or something, so you can at least pass at Potions, otherwise, Snape's going to ride you all year."
Jimmi's eyes widened in surprise, "You're really not mad?!"
Harry looked confused, "Why would I be mad? We all know Snape hates Potters."
James smiled, "Thanks!"
Harry nodded, "You better be going, you'll be late for your next class."
James nodded and ran out the door, leaving several yellow footprints.

The rest of the day passed by uneventfully for Morwen, she absolutely hated Transfiguration and she had a strong dislike for astronomy as well. She was much more anticipating next week and the start of Flying Classes.
She trudged into the Commons, tired and sleepy. she rubbed her eyes, preparing to fall asleep when she remembered she was to go to the Slytherin Commons tonight.
She smiled, suddenly full of energy.
"Leda!" she yelled. Storming into the 1st year's rooms. Sure enough, Leda was on her bed, reading a book on Latin.
"Ya?" she asked.
Morwen smiled, "Do you feel like breaking some rules?"
Leda smiled and jumped up, "Do I ever! Charms homework was literally boring me to tears!"
Morwen smiled, "C'mon then."
They both headed out of the Ravenclaw common room and into a big hallway. There was no need for secrecy as it wasn't curfew yet.
Leda looked at Morwen questionably, "Where we going?" she asked.
Morwen smiled, "Slytherin Common room."
Leda suddenly looked more excited, "That sounds like trouble!"
Morwen smiled, "Yep."
When the reached the Dungeons, Morwen saw the stone snake, she cleared her throat, " Mugwort." She stated.
The snake slowly started to rotate clockwise and the door eerily creaked open.
Leda and her exchanged one last look before heading in.
Morwen looked around and was surprised. In Slytherin, there was hardly anyone around in the common room. The only people there were a few older students doing homework or reading books. She then remembered that most older students were still in classes and Imy and Killian were probably in their rooms.
Morwen looked at Leda, "Let's try and find their room." She stated.
She nodded, and the duo made their way towards the hallway with a lot of doors on the sides. Morwen, using process of elimination, figured that it could be the same set up as the Ravenclaw dorms, and entered the first one on her left, Leda followed.
Imagine the girls' surprise, when they entered a Prefect's room.
Leda shrugged, "Wrong room." She stated.
Morwen smiled, looking at the posters of the Salem Nooses on the wall, this was definitely her brother's room. "Hold on, this is Mordred's room!" she exclaimed.
"So?" asked Leda.
Morwen shrugged, "We may be able to find some blackmail material." She stated smiling.
Leda smiled mischievously, "Alright." She said.
The two started going through trunks, closets, and everywhere else, as the way of younger siblings, another opportunity like this wasn't going to present itself any time soon. After about 5 minutes, Leda slumped against the bedpost, "Face it Morwen, there's no dirt on him at all." She groaned.
Morwen sighed and sat next to her, accidentally knocking her head against the backboard of Mordred's bed. The weird thing about it was, however, that it sounded hollow.
The girls looked at each other and grinned. Morwen felt around for a latch and found one.
Behind his backboard there were at least 10 old dusty books. Morwen riffled through them and pulled one out and flipped it open. When she saw what was in it her heart stopped.
"What? What is it?" asked Leda curiously.
"This thing's full of dark magic!" Exclaimed Morwen.
