After charms we went to our next class, transfiguration, then potions, then Defense Against the Dark Arts.
"Professor Smith, why isn't there anything on the chalkboard today?" Frank Longbottom, another Gryffindor, asked. I understood his confusion. Typically, in Defense Against the Dark Arts, Professor Smith would have written a list of instructions on the board, but there wasn't anything his time.
"Well, I thought that today we would go over everything. Well, not everything, but this last week I want to focus on that stuff. We will start new subjects when everyone is back after Christmas. Split into two different teams, equal amount of Gryffindors and equal amount of Slytherins on each team." She said. The door opened as everyone stood up and in came Remus. He went over to Professor Smith and gave her a note. "Ok, we are splitting into groups. Join Ms. Marley and I'm sure she could catch you up." She told him. Remus nodded and walked over to me as I stood up.
"What's happening?" He asked, looking around at the other students who were getting in groups.
"The whole class is splitting into two groups for a review game I think, there has to be an equal amount of Gryffindors and Slytherins on each team." I told him. He nodded. We tried to get on the same team, but ended up on opposing sides. I was on a team with Severus, Sirius, James, Dashia, and others who I didn't know. Dashia popped up behind me and I jumped. "I'm going to tie a bell to you."
"No you aren't, pay attention!" Dashia said.
"I'm going to ask both of the people in front the same question and whoever gets it first gets a point for their team. There will be questions about topics we've done before, and some that you should know if you actually read the books I assigned." Professor Smith said. And then she started. "What are pixies?" She asked from my team, Alice Prewett, and the other, Frank Longbottom. Alice answered within a couple seconds right when Frank looked like he was about to answer. They smiled at each other after Alice answered and gave each other a high five. "Follow up to the last question: what do you do if a pixie were to invade your home?" She asked. And it continued. Once I got up, I was going against Remus. I raised my hand. "Yes Ms. Marley?"
"Can I just forfeit now?" I asked, gesturing towards Remus, who was going to answer the question with ease. Professor Smith laughed a bit along with the other people in the room who knew Remus as Remus turned slightly red. .
"No, Ms. Marley, you may not quit now." Professor Smith said. I sighed slightly as she asked the question. As I opened my mouth to answer, Remus responded quickly. I threw my hands up in the air as a joke and people laughed a bit, as well as Remus. I smiled at him slightly as I walked to the back of the line. A point was added to the chart and by the time class had ended, the other team won by two points. Sirius was disappointed as he handed Peter two Galleons.
"You really never should've made that bet, Sirius. Our team had Capella, and we were obviously going to lose do to that fact. And the fact that the other team had Remus." I said as I walked by him. Peter nodded and Sirius glared at me. I shrugged and continued walking out the classroom. Dinner was approaching, and I was surprisingly hungry. I walked towards the Gryffindor common room to check on Fluffers, Mr. Wrinkles, and Tweety. I walked quickly, wanting to get there and then quickly get back for dinner. Once I got there, I found Tweety perched on top of Mr. Wrinkles head and Fluffers standing under the legs of Mr. Wrinkles. I looked at it for a second, debating whether to question it or not, but then I just laughed a bit and placed my stuff down. I grabbed one of my books that I hadn't started reading yet and set off for the Great Hall after giving all of them some food. It was honestly easy to get Fluffers and Tweety food. I already had food for Mr. Wrinkles, and for Fluffers, puffskeins are scavengers and then for Tweety, I asked my mom to send me seeds a while ago and I found some in the package of presents she gave me. I haven't opened my present yet, of course, but I did have fun wrapping every present. As I left the common room, I was pushed against the wall. "What the-" I started, but once I realized who it was, I wasn't that surprised. "Yes Capella?"
