Sadie POV:
Hazel came rushing up to us, her face glowing.
"Mcgonagall said that I had extremely rare talent better than anybody at that age in the whole of the Wizarding World! She's going to give me extra coaching!"
I smiled. That girl may be extremely nice, but she is wonderfully naïve. Coaching is work. Extra work. Nobody in their right mind would want that! Still, I was happy for her. I was –ugh, I can't believe this- scared that I wouldn't fit in without Carter. As annoying as he was, he had a knack for making friends and being social. Hazel got us all to be inseparable in 5 minutes flat.
Next it was Charms. I considered myself to be quite the Charms Prodigy. I could charm that teacher in two seconds- pun intended! Carter would say that was cringe. I object. Its only cringe when he says it. When I say it, it's quite charming. Another intended pun!
I pushed open the door, and we took our seats. I was next to Hazel's brother, Nico. I didn't get a proper greeting at breakfast. Now I get a proper look. He's dyed his entire school uniform black, and I've got to admit, he looks extremely cute. I don't like him in that way though. You'd have to be blind to not notice the blonde Hufflepuff boy and him exchanging looks when the other wasn't looking. Gryffindors normally have their lessons with Slytherins, but they decided to switch it up this year. Everyone else in the class noticed, and even the old transfiguration bat fought groans when they pointedly avoided each other.
Back to Charms. The teacher was talking about some spell that Lit up your wand. Been there. Done that. Lit-rally. Intended pun. Again. I leant across Nico and passed a note to Alex. I know all the girls, Carter as well unfortunately, I was getting to know Nico and Magnus, and I sat next to Gio during breakfast. Alex was the only one I had to get to know. She
(Female again. Following the books, in which she/he is mostly female but sometimes male.)
She seemed pretty cool. I trust anyone with green hair- I was going for a green streak today as well- but not the same color, kind of a camo green, hers was black at the roots and fading to dark green. She opened the note and read it. Hastily scribbling a reply, she smirked and passed it back. I had asked her if she could prank Carter because she slept in the boys dorm. I unfolded the note and almost laughed out loud.
She was going to put a stolen truth potion from Snape's stores in the boys drinks at lunch so we could ask them their greatest secrets. I couldn't wait to ask Carter! I was pretty sure he liked my friend from home, Lacy. But I had to be sure. I wanted to ask Nico as well. I was pretty sure he had got some juicy secrets to spill. Gio and Magnus seemed like open books, but I couldn't be sure. She said she would ask Sam and Reb. I wasn't sure with that part. Reb would definitely be up for a prank, but I wasn't sure about Sam. She might tattle on us. But Alex was her sister and she would know. I passed along Nico, But before it reached Alex, Flitwick reached out with his wand and grabbed it with impossible speed. He unfurled it and said crisply
"Well, class, let's see what is so much more important to Miss Kane and Miss"
Here he threw a questioning look at Alex. She nodded assent.
"Miss Fierro than my lesson, witch, by the way, I noticed you haven't been paying attention to, Miss Kane. You might want to stop ogling at Mr Di Angelo and pay attention."
I feel sure I went bright red. Shouldn't have underestimated him. I could see Carter and Hazel staring at me knowingly. Holy Khufu, did they think I liked him?! Ew! Seriously?! That blonde Hufflepuff stared at me as well, sort of…angry. Investigate that later. Flitwick quickly scanned the note and him face broke into a huge grin.
"For the sake of the contents of this note, I will not read it out. But Misses Kane and Fierro, I expect you will listen a bit more from now on. I did a lot of these when I was at Hogwarts, you know. Now please perform the spell I have showed the class."
I hopped out my chair and did the necessary double flick and incantation, lumos. The tip of my wand lit up with a golden glow. Flitwick nodded approval.
"Acceptable for a beginner. Try to keep your wand straight at the flick. Class dismissed."
