Chapter 6
Classroom Mischief
Before they knew it it was time for them to be heading to their first class. "What do you have first, Lita?" Polly asks. "I have Charms first," Lita says. "And you?" she asks. "I also have charms first, what a coincidence. Now I can probably give you a tour while we go to class," Polly says jumping for joy. "Our teacher is Professor Flitwick. He is a great teacher as long as you pay attention and don't slack off," Polly instructs. Polly leads her upstairs to the 2nd corridor. Once upstairs they walk down the hallway till they see a large open door. "Here we are," Polly says indicating the open door. "Age before beauty," Lita teases. "How funny we are today," says a girl walking up behind them. She had Jet black hair and brown Asian eyes. Her skin was very tan colored. "My name is Cho, Cho Chang. I am a Ravenclaw," the girl says while extending her hand. "And you are?" "My name is Polly, Polly Manilla," Polly responds shaking the extended hand. "And I am Lita, Lita Kino," Lita replies shaking her hand as well. "Hey, isn't my friend Serena in your house?" "Why yes, she is," Cho replies. "She should already be in class. I made sure she left before me and I asked Cedric if he would walk with her and show Darien where his class is. So, we're all settled." "What class does Darien have first?" Lita asks. "Oh, he has Divination first," replies Cho. "That is what we have next Lita, I'm sure if we hurry straight after class we will be able to meet him half way before he leaves to his next class," Polly says. "Ok, sure. Oh wait, no. I wanted to meet up with Ron after class. Ron told me that he has Divination the same hour we do. So, I was going to meet up with him as a surprise," Lita exclaims. "Really? How cool. So, what is it, do you have some sort of crush on this guy or something?" Polly asks jovially. "Actually, yes, I do, sort of," Lita replies blushingly.
Once in the classroom they instantly hear an eruption of laughter from somewhere in the middle of the room. Lita glances over at the other two girls noticed the batty looks on their faces. God, cant Serena go at least one day without nearly getting herself in trouble or embarrassed. she thinks. I highly doubt it. "Hi Serena," Lita calls over to her. "Did Darien find his class alright?" "Oh yes, just fine, thank you," Serena replies from her house's side of the room. Lita and Polly take their seats just as Professor Flitwick appears in the doorway.
"Please take your seats students, so that we may begin," Flitwick says. The commotion immediately dies down to less than a whisper. "Now, today we will be reviewing the summoning charm." "Now who remembers what this charm is called?" Immediately twenty different hands from each side of the room shoot up. "Wow, so many of you. Ok, Miss Chang." "The summoning charm is called Accio," Cho replies while nimbly lowering her hand. "Very good, Miss Chang. Ten points to Ravenclaw," Flitwick says as everyone begins clapping in congrats to Cho's correct answer. 'Great job, Cho,' whispers Serena sitting to her right. 'Thanks, that was nothing,' Cho replies with a shrug.
"Next, I want each of you pair up with a person on either side of you. Then, I want you to practice Accio for about ten minutes before we move on to another charm," Flitwick instructs the class. With this being said, everyone pairs up. Serena, not knowing anyone pairs up with Cho while Lita obviously pairs off with Polly. She looks at Polly, "You're going to help me with this, right?" "Of course," Polly replies as they pull out their wands from their bags. "Ok, I want you to watch me first before you do it yourself. First, you want to go up in a slight slant then go down the opposite way as if you were drawing the letter A. Then you're going to go back up in more of a slant also in the opposite direction," she explains. "Now watch, I'm going to summon my pencil from my bag to me," she instructs. She demonstrates the quick movements while also saying the words, "Accio pencil", while also mentally concentrating on the pencil in her bag. As she finishes the swift movements, exactly on target, the pencil comes flying out of her bag and into her hand. "See, it's easy. Now you try," she urges Lita. She then picks up her wand, thinks of what she wants to summon, gives it a light wave, then says, "Accio ruler", while also mentally concentrating on the ruler in her bag.
Meanwhile...
Darien in Divination
Darien is nearly suffocating from the sweet smells of lavender, roses, buttercups, and chocolate covered cherries Professor Trelawney had strewn around the Divination Tower. While she was lecturing, he was trying his hardest to concentrate and take notes on what she was talking about. His head begins to spin as if he were on a roller coaster. Professor Trelawney is just finishing putting more notes on the black board. As she turns around, she notices Darien cradling his head in his hands. "Mr. Chiba? Are you alright?" she asks sincerely. "Yes Maam, I'm alright, it's just a headache is all," he replies. "Allow me to take a look at it please." He sits up straight as she gently lays her forefingers on his temples and closes her eyes to "concentrate". "Oh my god, it's worse than I expected, there is death in your future." Really? Oh my god he thinks sarcastically. "I want you to go straight up to the Hospital wing and give Madam Pomfrey this note," she says while conjuring up a note. "Yes, Professor," he says with an inward smile before descending down the ladder leading to the castle floor below. Yes, finally I can get out of that stuffy classroom. "Maybe I should go take a peek in the Charms classroom and see how Serena is doing." "Surely she hasn't gotten herself into trouble already."
He casually walks the few flights of stairs to the classroom. He opens the door and peeks in to see a flustered Flitwick standing in the middle of the room. "Miss Tsukino, if you cannot seem to pay attention instead of playing around, then I will have to take thirty points from your house and give you and Miss Chang detention," Professor Flitwick sighs impatiently. I knew it was nearly close to impossible for Serena to keep out of trouble, Darien sighs inwardly while rolling his eyes.
Serena and Cho Chang then stop what they are doing and stare at the professor in shock. "Please Professor, don't take points, we can pay attention, we promise," Cho pleads. "Ok Miss Chang, but consider this a warning. I can under stand Miss Tsukino acting as so this being her first day, but I never would have never expected such behavior from you of all people in your house," he responds sighing again. "Now you have fifteen minutes left of class, please pay attention." "Yes Professor," both houses reply in unison. Darien continues to watch quietly while professor goes over previously taught spells with the class of fifth years. He is very surprised when he notices that Serena and not to mention Lita have no trouble whatsoever for the rest of the class period either with her playing around or with learning the spells.
Meanwhile....
Hotaru and Raye in Potions
"Now class, it seems we have some new students amongst us today," Professor Snape says in his usual monotonic voice. "So please, do not treat them any differently than you would your own classmates," he continues while smirking at the Slytherins. Then he begins lecturing them on the making and powers of the Draft of Peace, which gives someone a sense of peace. 'So, what is it you were telling us earlier about this guy Hermione,' Raye quietly asks Hermione. 'Well, he favors the Slytherins and finds every opportunity he can to take points away from us Gryffindors,' she responds keeping her eyes on Snape to make sure he doesn't catch her and Raye whispering. When finally she decides he isn't watching she leans over and whispers to Raye, 'He keeps a special eye on us Gryffindors because our house and the Slytherins have been feuding for ages and he never gives up the chance to assist in continuing the feud each year.' Before Raye has the chance to mouth the words of her next question a voice snaps her focus back to the front of the room, "Miss Hino, Miss Granger. Three days of detention for talking while I am talking and fifty points will be taken from Gryffindor," Professor Snape says while glaring at them.
Ron, Harry, and Hotaru notice that Raye looks as though she is going to explode and before they are able to stop her she begins yelling at the top of her voice, "HOW CAN YOU TAKE SO MANY POINTS FROM US AND GIVE HERMIONE AND MYSELF DETENTION FOR TALKING WHEN YOUR OWN HOUSE WAS OVER THERE TALKING AWAY AND NOT EVEN PAYING ATTENTION TO YOUR BORING LECTURE ON THE "DRAFT OF PEACE"? IT ISNT FAIR HOW YOU CAN PLAY FAVORITES LIKE THAT. I REFUSE TO DO YOUR DETENTION WHEN I DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING WRONG." When she finally finishes with her face all red, sweaty, and puffy from all that yelling she sits down and faces forward while the rest of the class continues to stare at her. OH MY GOD, I can not believe she just yelled at Snape like that, she is going to get in sooooo much trouble Hermione thinks while staring at Raye with her mouth wide open in shock. WHOA, either she is incredibly brave or she is incredibly stupid. But either way, that was inCREDIBLE the way she stood up to Snape like she did. It makes me want her even more than before. Draco thinks smiling to himself.
Ron and Harry just sit there looking back and forth from her to Snape exchanging glances. Hotaru, who expected this from her, did not expect her to snap this bad especially at a teacher, no matter how bad he is. Snape just sat there smirking at her. "Well Miss Hino, never in my life have I ever expected such an outburst from a student. For your lack of judgment in behavior I am taking fifty more points from Gryffindor and your friends Mister Potter and Mister Weasley will be joining you tonight and every night afterwards for one week in detention. If anyone else makes any objections sounds or whatnots any time during class today, you will join them." Harry and Ron sit up straight looking at Professor shockingly. They began mouthing the words "whaaaa, what?" to him but before they were able to get them out Snape began, "If you are also going to make the same mistake Miss Hino just made, please be my guest and I will take more points from you all and give those that already have detention and yourselves extra days." At his last word they all shut their mouths and faced foreword to continue listening to him lecture the rest of the period.
When the clock struck time for class to end everyone packed their stuff inside their backpacks quickly and filed out of the classroom as fast they could not daring to look at either Snape or Raye. Raye hadn't even stepped ten feet down the hall when someone calls her name from behind. "Raye, wait up," the voice calls. She turns around to see that it was Hermione that was calling her name. She waits against the wall while Hermione catches up followed by Ron, Harry, and Hotaru. "I can't believe you said that to Professor Snape, what got into you?" Hermione asks when they finally catch up. "I don't know," Raye responds after a moment's thought. "I guess I wasn't thinking. I'm really sorry about getting you all detention." "I hope you aren't too mad at me," she continues sheepishly. "Oh, don't worry about it, we were bound to get detention sooner or later anyway. Snape does have a tendency to give us detention at least two to three times a year," Harry replies. "Ok, good," Raye says.
After a few more feet of walking Ron feels a pair of hands go over his eyes and stops. "Guess who?" the voice from behind him giggles. After a nanosecond he hears the others begin to laugh. He smells the hands and notices they smell of vanilla. "Hmm, could it be none other than the very intelligent and stunningly beautiful Lita?" he says with a wide grin while at the same time gently removing her hands, turning around and kissing them. "Hmm," Lita says returning his grin. "You must be a mind reader, otherwise you wouldn't have known it was me." "Actually, I'm not a mind reader, I umm, just remembered the smell of your hands and knew in an instant that it was you," he replies with a shy grin. After looking at each other for what seemed like a century Ron finally remembered that the others were still with them waiting for them to get a move on. "Well, I'd better be moving," Hotaru finally says breaking the ice. "Otherwise I'm going to be late for my first day of Transfiguration, I heard from the other Slytherins that Professor McGonagall is a really strict teacher in classes. But of course you never know," she laughs as she turns and gives Harry a hug before heading down the next corridor to her own class. Harry watches her go until she is out of sight. Everyone notices that he is watching her and just stand there exchanging glances at each other for a minute without a word being said. After what seems like eternity Ron finally turns to Lita and asks, "Lita, there is a Hogsmeade visit scheduled for this weekend, and umm," he stammers. "Yes Ron?" she asks. "Are you asking me on a date?" she asks with a sly grin. "Kind of, sort of, yes," he says eyes pinned to the floor. "Why Ron, I was wondering when you would decide to ask me out. I would love to go out with you," she replies giving him a big hug.
After a moment he notices everyone smirking at him and finally pulls away gently. "Oh, look at the time, the bell is going to ring in five minutes, we'd better hurry to our classes. I'll see you all after class. Bye," Hermione says going into a classroom three doors down from where they were just standing. As soon as Hermione disappears from sight they all quickly make their way to the divination tower. They make it there with a minute to spare. They notice when they arrive below the doorway that the rope is already descended for them. "Ladies first," Harry and Ron say in unison. "Why thank you boys," Lita and Raye reply with a smile while ascending the ladder. As soon as they all enter the room they notice that the room smelled of lavender, roses, buttercups, and chocolate covered cherries. 'Oh my god,' Ron whispers. 'Is it just me or does this classroom smeller sweeter and sweeter each time we come in?' he asks. 'And I'm not talking good sweet either.' 'Don't worry Ron, it's not just you,' Harry mutters with a laugh as they all take seats at two tables in the back of the room. Ron sat with Lita and Harry sat with Raye. "So what are we learning in here?" Raye asks after a moment of silence.
They sit through the entire class nearly falling asleep listening to Professor Trelawney's boring lecture on tealeaf reading. 'Boy, if Serena were here, she probably would have fallen asleep right when Professor Trelawney had let out her first syllable,' Raye whispers.
