Yeah. I know, it's been a while. But I'm still working out a couple of things. Plus I finally got the sixth book. Yeah, I know, it's been out for a while, but I'm not the type of person to stand in line for something. Sorry. I'm not that committed. And this chapter is going to be slightly shorter than your average.

Chapter 13: Moving On

Harry, Ron, Hermonie, Kareem and Allen left the Divinations area; the two American students had puzzled looks.

"What was with that woman?" asked Kareem to anyone that was listening. "She usually like that?"

"Yup," said Ron. "What classes do we have next?"

"I have McGonnagol," answered Harry.

"Who's that?" asked Allen, and then he turned to Hermonie. "You gonna be there with me?"

Hermonie groaned and stalked off towards her next class. Ron snickered a little bit while Kareem rolled his eyes once again.

"Where's her next class?" asked Allen hurriedly.

"I don't know. But it's not with us," said Harry with a slight smile.

"What do you have, Allen?" asked Kareem leaning over towards his schedule.

"I have this class with some guy called Flitwick."

"Oh yeah," said Ron stepping forward. "His class is that way. Might want to run if you're going to make it."

"Shoot."

And with that word, Allen sped down the corridors and made a right.

"No. The other way."

Allen then turned around and headed back towards the left turn, almost knocking over another student.

"Well I have this McGonagall person too," said Kareem as they turned around. "I guess I'm with you guys again."

The three boys, two with black hair and the other with red, walked towards the direction of Professor McGonagall's Transfigurations class. They made it to the class and sat towards the front. They actually had a few minutes before the class started, so they chatted a little bit.

"So when do you want to take me on in chess?" asked Kareem leaning forward towards his Hogwarts companions.

"Whenever we have time," said Ron with a smirk. "Do you know who you're facing?"

"I'm not easily beaten. Ask John Williams."

There goes that name again. Harry decided to ask who that was.

"Who's that?" asked Harry turning around.

"He's one of the top guys in our year. They put him that Daily Prophet. He's right over there."

Kareem pointed towards the center table towards the front and there sitting with Sapphire colors was a black headed boy reading a book. Harry then remembered his name. This guy was in the Daily Prophet.

"Wait," said Harry.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out the folded Daily Prophet article, which he cut out. He didn't bother to read the rest, so he brought it along just in case he felt like reading the rest of the article.

"I have heard a lot of things about Hogwarts. I think it will be interesting," commented John Williams, one of the best 4th year students out of WSFF.

"You beat him in Chess?" asked Harry.

"Yup," said Kareem proudly. "He was supposed to be the best until I came and beat him. Wasn't an easy task though. That was a good first year."

At that moment, Professor McGonnagol walked through the doors and the room fell silent, knowing that class was about to start. She walked behind her desk and faced the students.

"Good Morning students. Please get out your parchments and quills. And begin writing notes."

……

"That class seems cool," said Kareem as they entered the corridors.

"Professor McGonnagol is okay. She's the head of our house."

"She is?"

"Yeah. Who's yours?"

"Ours is Professor Santiago. The lady who's gonna be teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts."

"Oh," said Ron quickly. "Um. Is…is she nice?"

"Yeah," said Kareem. "She's pretty too. A lot of people have a crush on her."

"Really," said Ron quietly. Harry noticed his ears turning red.

Harry couldn't deny it. She was a very pretty lady, and could see why someone would have a crush on this lady.

"What's your next class?" asked Harry as he finished his thoughts.

"None other than Defense Against the Dark Arts," said Kareem.

"I've got the same," added in Ron.

"Well I guess we're in another class. Hermonie's supposed to be there too."

"She is? That sucks?"

Ron and Harry looked at Kareem suspiciously.

"What's wrong with her?" asked Ron.

"Nothing's wrong with her. Allen is in that class," announced Kareem.

Both Ron and Harry laughed knowing that Hermonie would dread that class with Alex in it.
