Barry and Cisco ran through the corridor pushing past students trying to be on time for Professor McGonagall's transfiguration class. They really needed to make a good impression at their first class this year because they definitely did not want a repeat of last year.

Finally they got to the classroom. They were a little out of breath but other then that, they were on time. Cisco breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Barry. They sat down beside each other. "So Barry, what were you looking at last night?" Cisco asked

"Huh?" Barry managed to splutter.

"C'mon I know that you were eyeing that Iris girl." Cisco said.

"Iris?" Barry asked

"Well yeah that's her name." Cisco replied.

"Iris." Barry thought to himself. "What a beautiful name."

"Hey dude snap out of it!" Cisco said waving a hand in front of his face. "She's right over there."

"Oh shit." Was all Barry managed to think. He looked around to see if he could find her but just then, Professor McGonagall walked in.

"Hello class. Welcome back to another year at Hogwarts! I hope you're all prepared because this year is going to be tough but nothing that you can't handle. You're all going to enjoy yourselves!" Professor McGonagall said cheerily. Barry wasn't exactly very enthusiastic about her good mood because he really wasn't a morning person but if she was happy then the class probably wouldn't be too bad. Wrong! All Barry could think of was Iris and he couldn't concentrate at all. When he found out she was sitting directly behind him, he nearly freaked out completely. Was his robe twisted or was the back of his neck sweating? Oh god the back of his neck was sweating. "Fuck!" Was all Barry could think to himself. "Ok calm down Barry she probably isn't even looking at you. Why am I getting so worked up about this?"

"Mister Allen do you know the answer?" McGonagall asked

"Um no Professor I don't." He spluttered. There was a giggle form the class and Barry didn't know why. "Mister Allen I asked you the simplest of questions and didn't know the answer. I asked you if you were in Gryffindor and you said you didn't know. I think that you weren't paying attention. Am I right Mister Allen?" She questioned.

"Yes." Barry mumbled.

"I strongly suggest you pay attention this year Mister Allen because we do not want a repeat of last year!" McGonagall shouted.

"Yes Professor." Barry said looking downwards. He heard a giggle from behind him and he knew it was Iris. The tops of his ears went pink.

What's wrong with you today Barry? You seemed totally out of it in McGonagall's class." Cisco said while they were walking to the common room.

"I don't know Cisco. It's just Iris makes me feel so nervous and I couldn't stop thinking about her in McGonagall's class. That's why I wasn't paying attention when McGonagall asked me the question. Then when McGonagall was finished giving out to me, I heard her giggle and I knew that I had gone red." Barry explained.

"I think you have a crush on Iris!" Cisco laughed

"Shut up!" Barry said pushing him.
