Maleficent growled that sarcastic nature of his always got on her last nerve. "Ohhhhhhhh as much as I'd LOVE to crush you like the bug you are, I cannot risk blowing my cover, and I'm sure YOU can't risk blowing YOUR cover as well!" Maleficent sneered. "Then what do you propose? A temporary truce?" Alex asked. "Precisely, once we're out of this bloody school, it's right back to the way things were!" Maleficent approached him and held out her hand. "Agreed?" Alex thought this over a bit. "………………….fine…" Alex finally replied. They both reluctantly shook hands and Alex left the room. Only to run into Ariel who hugged him tightly. "ALEX!!! YOU OK!!! What happened?!" Ariel asked frantically. "Maleficent and I had a……philosophical discussion and we called a temporary truce... We agreed not to kill each other until we get out of this school…." Alex replied calmly. "But Alex, what if she doesn't keep her word?" Ariel asked. "Hey, I beat her once right? I can do it again!" Alex smiled. "C'mon let's go catch up with Harry and the others…" Maleficent watched from a window as Alex and Ariel ran to go find Harry and the gang. "Well, this will certainly be an interesting year…." Maleficent smirked. CHECHCHCH
Chapter 5: Charms Class
Alex and Ariel had soon caught up with Harry, Ron Hermione they walked besides them as they headed for the next class. "So, what did Madame Maleficent want?" Harry asked. "N-nothing important…." Alex replied. "SO, what's our next class?" Alex said trying to change the subject. "Our next class his Charms Class… that's where we learn spells for more practical uses instead of Offense and Defense…." Hermione replied. "Interesting…." Alex commented. "Hey, was that thing you did back in Madame Maleficents class?" Hermione held up her wand. "Oh, you mean that "Aerogus Vaccumus" spell?" Hermione asked. "Yeah, where'd you learn that?" Alex asked. "Just a little thing I learned over the summer, I can teach it to you if you want…" Hermione offered, twirling her finger in her hair. "That'd be good…" Alex smiled.
Soon they arrived at Charms Class. Alex grabbed a seat next to Hermione and Ariel, while Harry got a seat next to Ron. It was then that the teacher walked in. he was a small man, so small that he had to sit on a stack of books to see over his desk. "Good morning class…." The teacher greeted. "Good morning Mr. Flitwick…" The class said in unison. "Now then, today we shall learn the Summoning Charm. The Summoning Charm is used to call objects to the user's hands. This is very useful if you're in a pinch and need to summon something like your broom for a getaway or something to that effect…"
Mr. Flitwick than looked around the class. "Let's see…." He then pointed to Hermione "Miss Granger…. And….." He then pointed to Alex. "You there, both of you come down here…" Alex and Hermione stood up and approached Mr. Flitwick. He then pointed to a shelf with a row of books on it. "Alright, behind me is a shelf with books lined up. Now then, I want you two to use the Summoning Charm and call one of the books to your hand. Now to use the Summoning Charm, all you have to do is point at the desired object with your wand and simply speak or shout "Accio" can you do that?" Mr. Flitwick asked. The two nodded and aimed their wands at their targets. The two then shouted. "Accio!" and the books came flying towards them. Hermione and Alex then caught the books in mid-air and the class clapped.
"Excellent! You nailed it on the first try! 20 Points for Gryffindor!" Mr. Flitwick congratulated. "Points?" Alex asked. "As the year goes on, the teachers award points to different houses. We get points based on our performance and behavior. At the end of the year which ever house gets the most points wins the house cup!" Hermione explained. "This school is amazing!" Alex commented as the two went back to their seats. Ariel hugged Alex around the neck. "Nice job Alex!" She smiled. Mr. Flitwick looked around the classroom and pointed to Ron. "Mr. Weasley, how about you come up and give it a try!" Mr. Flitwick called. Ron silently gulped. "Um, Sir? I don't think that'd be the greatest idea…" Ron sulked in his seat. "Nonsense! Don't be shy! Come on up!" Mr. Flitwick called again. Ron reluctantly nodded and got up while whispering "Don't say I didn't warn you…."
Ron aimed his wand at the book. Alex then noticed that his wand was being held together by plastic tape. It didn't take long for Harry, Ariel and Hermione to notice also. "This is NOT gonna end well…." Harry groaned. Ron aimed his wand at the books. "ACCIO!!!" Only instead of pulling the book towards him, it blew the book away from him. The book then began to fly around the room ricocheting off the walls like a Pinball! The tape on Ron's wand caused it to backfire. Students ducked out of the way to avoid being hit by the flying book. "WHOA! AERIAL ATTACK!" Alex cried as he ducked. He then glanced at Ariel. "No pun intended…." Alex said.
Harry tried to swat the book away with another book but that caused it to bounce around even more. "HERMIONE! DO SOMETHING!!!" Harry cried as he ducked from the book. The next time the book shot by Hermione quickly stood up and aimed her wand at the flying book. "IMMOBULUS!" She cried. Suddenly her wand pulsed with Blue light and the book froze in mid-air. Hermione then grabbed the book and handed calmly handed it to Ron. Mr. Flitwick was frozen in shock. "Um? Class dismissed?" The class exited the room and the gang of friends headed out. "You really need to replace that wand of yours Ronald!" Hermione scolded. "Yes mother…" Ron replied sarcastically. Harry looked at his watch. "We have a good amount of time before Potions Class, how about we go see Hagrid?" Harry suggested. The others nodded as Harry led the way. "Good, I can catch up with Jack and tell him we what we found out…" Alex thought to himself
