Chapter 6-Schedule Pick up
"Mr. Potter" Professor McGonagall said as she handed him his schedule.
"How does your schedule look?" Hermonine asked.
"Potions with the Sytherins, on Wednesday mornings" Harry groaned.
"We all have it" Ron said.
"Maybe we should get to Mastery transfiguration, I want to stay on McGonagall's good side" Alana said as she spotted Justin.
"Hey, what's your schedule like" Justin asked.
"Looks pretty good, I just have classes all day on Friday's but I have huge gap on Tuesday after my morning class, Wednesday after lunch, and Thursday before lunch." Alana said.
"I have that on Wednesday's and Thursday's too, we should work on a dance to show the professors" Justin said. "Good idea we can use that time, we'll see you guys next class" Alana said as her and Hermonine walked away.
"On to History of Magic, Harry" Ron said as they walked away.
"I wonder who's in the class with us, it's not a normal class that is usually given" Hermonine said as her and Alana sat down.
"There isn't many seats, that's for sure," Alana said as she saw Cho Chang walk into the room. Hermonine looked down.
"What's wrong?" Alana asked.
"Nothing really, I just feel weird. That's Cho Chang, her and Harry dated for a little while last year, I'm sort of the cause" Hermonine whispered.
"You? How?" Alana said getting a better look at her
. "Well she didn't like that I was friends with him, there was other reasons too" Hermonine said.
"Oh" Alana said as she saw Pansy and Millicent walk into the room.
"I guess we can't escape them can we?" Alana said to Hermonine as Professor McGonagall walked in.
"Good morning class" Professor McGonagall said.
"Good morning professor McGonagall" the class answered.
As you can see, there are only a few of you in this class. You were chosen into this class based on your O.W.L results which were outstanding to say the least" McGonagall said looking at Alana.
"This transfiguration class is usually taught the first year when you are in Auror training. Because of this each and every one of you must sign this paper, you cannot teach any classmate the spells you learned in here. I'll send the paper around" she added. Alana looked at Hermonine knowing the serious of this class.
"Before you sign, I warn you that this class takes up a lot of time even though it meets only once a week, if you feel like you can't handle this class I will permit you to drop it" Professor McGonagall said sternly. Everyone looked at each other then at the professor. "Alright" she said and handed the paper to Cho Chang in the front of the classroom.
"Now that is settled, here is an overview of this semester" Professor McGonagall said as she wrote on the board. "More complex animals will be used and we will begin using objects," she said as she saw the classes' reaction.
Alana raised her hand. "Ms.Deerr" McGonagall said.
"What type of animals?" Alana asked feeling like it was a stupid question because of the classes' reaction.
"Complex ones" Millicent said coldly.
"I'm sorry it was a stupid question," Alana said.
"No it wasn't Ms.Deer, I know in Salem School they use different animals because of the climate. It will be mainly birds, we will use fishes this year, and reptiles" Professor McGonagall said.
"Thank you" Alana said and looked back at Millicent.
"Ms. Belstrode, another comment like that and I'll talk points off for Slytherin" Professor McGonagall said sternly.
Hermonine and Alana smiled. "Turn to Page 123, in your textbook please" Professor McGonagall said starting the first lesson.
Chapter 7-Charms
"Next week please read chapters 3-9, I will be quizzing you on them" Professor McGonagall said as she ended the class.
"See you all next week," she added as students left.
"I have to ask her something," Alana said to Hermonine as she was heading for the door.
"Professor" Alana said.
"Yes, Ms. Deerr." McGonagall answered.
"I want to start a dance club and I know the day to show ideas for new clubs is a week and a half from now. Justin Fletchley and I just need a place to rehearse and I wanted to know if you knew a room that was available?" Alana asked.
"I can see what I can do and I'll let you know by dinner," McGonagall answered looking at some papers.
"Thank you" Alana said nervously and walked out.
"What did you ask her?" Hermonine said as they walked into charms.
"A rehearsal room so I can at least get the proposal for a dance club in motion" Alana said.
"I guess we have it with the Hugglepuffs." Hermonine said looking at the students walking in.
"I'm getting a seat," Hermonine said as she walked into the classroom.
"Alana! You have this class?" Justin said smiling.
"Yea, I have some sort of good news," Alana said.
"Good what is it?" Justin asked.
"Shh come on," Alana said as they walked a few paces from the classroom. "I talked to McGonagall about getting us a room to rehearse and she said she'll give me an answer by dinner. But she sounded optimistic." Alana said happily as Harry and Ron walked toward the classroom.
"I asked a few people in my house who would be interested in helping us propose the idea, so that adds 7, that includes us." Justin said as Alana looked at the clock.
"We have class with the Hufflepuffs, cool," Ron said as Harry looked at Alana and Justin. Ron grinned as he noticed Harry staring at them.
"Come on the bells about to ring" Harry said opening the door.
"This can work" Alana said as the bell rang.
"Come on" Justin said and grabbed her hand.
"Good Morning Class" Professor Flitwick said as Alana and Justin ran in and got seats in the back.
Flitwick looked over at them and said "Just in time" Alana and Justin smiled as students laughed. Harry turned around and smiled at Alana.
Alana smiled back as Flitwick started to speak. "Six year of charms you will be doing mostly group work. Group charms are very important in the wizarding world, Gringotts uses it for example. Our first class we are going to get into groups of four and practice, something fun for the first day an entertainment visual charm" Flitwick said as the class looked interested.
"In order for this to work correctly, each group member must be in sync with one another and speak together. There's also a catch, the group has to decide in unison the visual they want to show." Flitwick said. "As so, swish and Vislo" Flitwick said as stars appeared in the classroom.
"This sounds good" Alana said to Justin.
"Justin, you and Alana join our group" Dean said as he and Seamus were sitting in front of them.
"Sure" Justin said.
"We'll see what everyone comes up with in 20 minutes," Flitwick said as he walked around the room.
Harry turned around and saw Alana joining Dean's group.
"Harry come on we have to come up with something," Hermonine said as Susan Bones joined the group.
"What about lightening?" Dean said as Seamus and Justin laughed.
"No way man and hit one of us," Seamus said as Alana started to laugh.
"We're working on a visual?" Flitwick said with a smile.
Alana smiled and nodded. "Entertaining, I know what we can do. In America on July 4 they have this big fireworks show." Justin said.
"We have our visual. Everyone just think of fireworks" Alana said happily as she saw Harry and his group working.
"Ok class time is up, I am excited to see what you came up with. How about a volunteer?" Flitwick asked. The class remained silent.
"I think my lightening idea is needed" Dean said to Seamus as Alana and Justin snickered. The classed turned around to the back. Alana tried to stop her laughter.
"I guess we have our volunteers" Flitwick said. "Don't be shy," he added as the class snickered.
"We based our visual on a holiday on the U.S., the fourth of July" Alana said as they got into a circle.
"Vislo" the group said together Fireworks appeared on top of the ceiling.
"Wow" some classmates said.
"Well done, Ms. Granger's group why don't you come up next?" Flitwick said.
"Vislo" Harry, Hermonine, Ron, and Susan said as a clear wave appeared.
"That was so good" Alana said out loud as Harry heard her comment and looked over.
"I'm impressed so far with both groups, let's keep going" Flitwick said happily.
