First Day

"Welcome class to year one charms!" Said an extremely small man whose name is Professor Flitwick. "We won't be doing actual charms until next week, but meanwhile we will be learning the correct way to use a wand. The swish and flick." He said using his own wand as an example. "You try it now."

Everyone did it, but Ron was a bit unsuccessful.

"Ow Ron! You poked my eye!" Said Harry.

"Whoops. Sorry."

"Try it again. The swish and flick"

Everyone did it again and Ron (thank god!) didn't poke anyone's eye out.

"Now, this is vital for anyone who wants to pass this class. We will start to build on this later, and we will learn a new one tomorrow! Have a good first day, and your homework for tomorrow is to practice the 'swish and flick.'"

And with that, the bell rang and they where off to their next class.

"No!" Ron said. "We have History of Magic next!"

"What's so bad about it?" Said Harry.

"You'll see." Ron replied with a grim look on his face.

The class seemed to drone on and on for Bryn. The only one of the quad that was listening to what the ghost was saying was Hermione, who was writing notes animatedly. At one point she could see Ron fall asleep and a few others as well.

"Now remember. You will have an exam over everything we will be discussing this year." Said the old ghost. "So take very... Good... Notes." It seemed like he was falling asleep. "Before you leave, I will assign you your homework. Write 12 inches of parchment of what we discussed today. Now have a good... rest... of... your... day." After that the bell finally rung and Harry, Ron, Bryn, and Hermione ran out of class.

"Disfudisumusing." Said Ron with his mouth full.

"Discussing Ron! You eat like a pig!" And everyone at the table laughed.

"Next we have transfiguration!" Said Bryn. " I wonder who teaches that."

"As a matter of fact, I do."

Bryn and Harry turned around and saw Professor McGonagall looking back at them. "I am happy to know that you are excited about my class."

"Ever since I read the letter you gave me, I was fascinated by it! I'm really looking forward to it!"

"Well you four should get going! Class will be starting in 15 minutes!"

•. •. •.

"You will be learning today some wand movements that certainly Professor Flitwick will be showing you." Said professor McGonagall. "You will point with your wand three times at the thing you will transfigured. Like this. 1-2-3." Now you try."

"Ow!"

"No Mr. Weasley! Are you trying to poke out Mr. Potter's eye!"

•. •. •.

"H-h-hello class! I-I am Professor Q-Quirel and I will be y-your D-d-defense against the d-d-dark arts teacher! P-please t-t-turn your b-b-books to page f-f-five."

"I wonder why he stutters." Whispered Harry to Bryn.

"Maybe he has a disorder?"

"P-p-please read this c-c-chapter of the book and a-a-answer the following questions on t-t-the b-b-board. If y-y-you do not

f-f-finish during class, p-p-please do it for h-h-homework!"

•. •. •.

"Disisbutterdanmuymums!"

"Shut your mouth Ron! No one wants to see your chewed up food!"

"We have so much work! I don't even know where to start!" Harry said.

"I'll help you! I already finished mine!" Replied Bryn.

"Really? Wow you would have also made a pretty good Ravenclaw!"

"Ya, my mom says I was always get a hang of things pretty quick." Bryn paused. "Oh no! I forgot to write to mom! I'll write to her today."

•. •. •.

Dear mom,

I am having a wonderful time here at Hogwarts! I have already made friends! Their names are Hermione, Harry, and Ron. Hermione is super smart, and Harry is famous over here in England! Ron has bright red hair that could even compete with Jessica's! I hope everything's fine back home. Tell dad and Jessica I miss them!

Love,

Bryn.
