Enjoy!

There was an hour left before Charms by the time we got back to the common room. Sally, Kenzie, Rosie, and myself all decided to start our own, personal diaries. A/N: Entries will be posted in, or as, chapters so that different point of views can be seen. Sally and Kenzie quickly got out blank books and started writing, while Rosie and I decided that we weren't going to start our diaries until that night.

"Let's go down to the common room and hang with the guys," Rosie said.

"Sure, just let me get my charms book and I'll be right down," I said as Rosie left and I grabbed my new copy of The Standard Book of Spells (Grade 1) by Miranda Goshawk and followed her down the spiral staircase. We got down the stairs to see all the guys sitting either on the floor or on chairs. Tim and Walter were playing chess, and Tim was doing really badly, since he was muggle born he had never played wizard chess before and he kept on trying to move the pieces with his hands and the pieces kept on yelling at him. I sat down to watch the game and discovered that Tim, despite his inability to tell the pieces to move, was about to check mate Walter. Since I knew how that game was going to end, I went over near Rosie who was, with open eyes, watching Jordan, Andrew, and Will play an intense game of exploding snap.

"I TOTALLY CREAMED YOU!!!!!! I MAY NOT KNOW HOW TO PLAY WIZARD CHESS, BUT I KNOW HOW TO PLAY CHESS!!!!!!" Tim screamed at Walter in victory

"Tim, just because Walter sucks at chess, doesn't mean that you are good. Now can you please shut up? We are trying to play a game here," Will said just before the cards exploded in his face. Everyone started laughing. Rosie collapsed on the floor and was unable to stop laughing for almost two minutes. Everyone else had stopped laughing, but Rosie just couldn't. We all walked away from her, as we started another game of exploding snap. Before we knew it, Rosie had stopped laughing, it was 10:30, and Kenzie and Sally were walking down the stairs screaming at us.

"Guys, we have to be getting to Charms! We were let out early, so if we are late we will be in huge trouble!" Everyone got up. Andrew put his cards away, and we were on our way.

We entered the Charms room fifteen minutes before we needed to. Some of the Gryffindor's, along with Rachel, were already there.

"Do you remember seeing Rachel in Herbology?" I whispered to Sally and Andrew. They shrugged and started trying to spot Rachel themselves.

"Well, since I see that everyone is here we might as well get started early," said professor Finnigin as he entered the room with a pop. "You will be learning many things this year in Charms. The first thing we will learn is Wingardium Leviosa," a nearby feather started lifting into the air behind him. Everyone gasped.

"Professor Finnigin," Rosie said, raising her hand.

"Yes?"

"Your wand is behind your back," she pointed out.

"No, it is not. It is right here," he said as he brought out his wand with the feather following it. " Well, I guess you caught me. Now, I'm sorry, could you please tell me your name?"

"It's Rosie, Rosie Smith."

"Alright, thank you for pointing that out Rosie. I'm sure that you are going to be very good at charms. Now, lets take attendance. When I call your name please raise your hand and say here. I'll call out names, in alphabetical order, by house. So in Gryffindor, Mark Allen?"

"Here."

"Samantha Bones?"

"Present."

"Alex Coles?"

"Here."

"Bill Evergreen?"

"Oh, he's sick."

"Thank you, ummm…"

"Fredrick Xavier."

"Well, thank you Fredrick. Ellen James?"

"Present."

"Sara Lavenhar?"

"Here."

"Tyler Stigal?"

"What?"

"Well Tyler is physically here. Marvin Zeus?"

"Here."

"Now for the Hufflepuffs. Walter Berge?"

"Here."

"Tim Jon Cagun?"

"Here."

"Rachel Crabbe?"

"Here," said Rachel snubingly.

"Jordan Donald?"

"Here."

"Mackenzie Heart?"

"Here."

"Sally Malfoy?"

"Here."

"Will McLean?"

"Here."

"Rosie Smith?"

"Here."

"Andrew Tonks, I have known your mother for a long time."

"Um, thanks?"
"Violet Weasley, who are your parents?"

"Ron and Hermione, why?"
"Nothing, just, it is about time. Alright, since most everyone is here, Rosie, could you take theses feathers and give one to everyone?" Rosie stood up to walk towards the desk where there was a pile of feathers. She walked around the room giving one to every person. "Alright, now that you have your feathers, I want you to repeat after me… Wingardium Leviosa."

"Wingardium Leviosa," everyone repeated.

"Alright now you want to point your wand at your feather and say those words."

The whole class went all like that. Every once and a while he would have us repeat Wingardium Leviosa until everyone could levitate their feather for a few seconds. Will blew up his feather, but other then that, the class was pretty uninteresting. At 12:15, professor Finnigin told us that we could leave.
"Don't forget to read the first chapter in The Standard Book of Spells (Grade 1), and be prepared to present Wingardium Leviosa for a grade," he reminded us as we filled out of the room towards the great hall.

Please review. I'm still working on the transfiguration chapter. Does anyone know the words to the charm for turning matches into needles?
