I'm baaaack
Chapter 5: Showoff
"Steven!"
Steven turned. Peter was running towards him.
"We need to leave! Charms class is starting soon."
"Coming." Steven closed the book he was reading and placed it back on the bookshelf. He turned to his friend, Wong, who was sitting at a table listening to music while reading a book. "Come on, Wong." Wong put his earbuds in his robes, closed his book, and stood up to walk with him to their class.
They exited the library, and Peter started to try to talk to them. "So… Um… What have you guys been doing?"
"Reading. Practicing spells." Wong answered. "Listening to music."
"Music? Like Beyonce?"
Wong raised an eyebrow. "Who?"
"Beyonce? She's a singer? You don't… Never mind."
They walked in silence the rest of the way.
…
They got to class on time, and sat down with the other Ravenclaws. Steven and Peter sat next to each other and Wong sat at another table.
When class started, Professor Flitwick climbed his desk and announced that they would be learning the levitation charm. He showed them the wand movement, the incantation, and gave them feathers to practice on.
The class went on, but nobody seemed to be able to make the feathers fly. Some students got close but they either lost control of the spell or couldn't hold it.
"Wingardium Leviosa!" Steven pointed his wand at the feather, and it started to rise.
He was about to lift the feather higher, but then he suddenly got smacked in the face by the student next to him, who had hit him with his wand while trying to cast the spell.
Steven rubbed his nose and glared at the student. "You're going to poke someone's eye out if you aren't careful."
"Uh-huh. Sure." The student responded absentmindedly, and continued trying to perform the charm.
"You do realize you aren't even saying the incantation correctly, right?"
"What?" The student raised his eyebrow.
"It's Leviosa, not Leviosah, Genius."
The other student scoffed. "Why don't you try it then, if you're so smart. Go on."
Steven pointed his wand at his feather and said "Wingardium Leviosa." The feather lifted off of the ground, and Steven made it fly into the air.
The other students in the classroom stopped to watch the feather's ascent, and professor Flitwick looked pleased. "Look, everyone! Mr. Strange has done it!"
Steven smirked at the student who had hit him with his wand, who huffed before going back to trying to make his feather levitate.
"Well, Tony, that was fun to watch." A Gryffindor boy said from behind them.
"Whatever Rhodey."
"Were you listening to us?" Steven narrowed his eyes.
"Hey, I'm right behind you guys. It's not like it's that hard to hear you talking."
"Is this a bad time to mention I was eavs-I mean listening to your conversation?"
"Really, Peter?" Steven glared at Peter.
Peter threw his hands in the air. "I'm right next to you! Don't blame me if I hear what you are saying!"
Steven sighed. Tony looked at them for a moment before asking "Hey, you guys are Ravenclaws, right?"
Steven rolled his eyes. "No, we're Hufflepuffs dressed in Ravenclaw robes."
Tony glared at Steven before continuing. "If you're Ravenclaws, why don't I ever see you in the Ravenclaw common room?"
Steven shrugged. "Usually we spend our time in the library."
"Maybe you and your friend could come with us sometime!" Peter smiled. "It would be fun!"
Tony stared at Peter. "Umm…. Sure!" He smiled slightly. "I'm Tony. What's your name?"
"I'm Peter, and this is Steven!" Peter gestured to himself, then to Steven.
"Well." Tony said. "Nice to meet you."
"Yeah!"
…
The next day, Steven was heading to the Great Hall for breakfast, and went over to the Ravenclaw table to find Wong. But when he found him, he noticed that Peter wasn't sitting next to him like he usually did. Maybe he was sitting with Ned and MJ. He did that sometimes.
"Where's Peter?" Steven asked Wong.
Wong pointed down the table in response, and Steven saw that he was talking with Tony, who was introducing him to a boy with black hair and glasses. His name was Bruce, if Steven remembered correctly.
Steven smiled. It looked like they wouldn't be seeing Peter for a while.
