First lessons.
We take a short detour from the main story of 'A magic touch' to bring you how the first lessons went for our sets of siblings. I don't actually know which houses get mixed together in the first year so I'm going with what I wrote for now, feel free to tell me if I'm wrong so I can correct it: Transfiguration - Gryffindor/Slytherin and Ravenclaw/Huffelpuff, Charms - Gryffindor/Huffelpuff and Ravenclaw/Slytherin, DADA - Gryffindor/Huffelpuff and Ravenclaw/Slytherin, Potions - Gryffindor/Slytherin and Ravenclaw/Huffelpuff, Herbolgy - Gryffindor/Slytherin and Ravenclaw/Huffelpuff, History of magic- Slytherin/Ravenclaw and Gryffindor/Huffelpuff, etc.
The Saxton triplets.
Transfiguration:
Vida and Layla arrived to class just as the bell rang and sat next to each other at the back of the class. They already noticed the cat as soon as they entered the classroom, but now that they had sat down they could study it more and they soon worked out that it wasn't a normal cat, almost certainly the animagus form of their teacher; they knew that McGonagall was animagus from the rundown of each of the teachers they were given before going to Hogwarts.
Vida and Layla said and did nothing as more students filled into the classroom, they were still waiting for McGonagall to transform and start the class when Ron and another boy ran into the classroom.
"We made it," panted Ron. "The teacher's not here."
It was then that McGonagall transformed back into her human form, scaring the two boys and amazing the class - except the Saxton triplets due to them seeing stuff like that regularly.
After McGonagall threatened to turn the boys into a watch and map she sent them to sit down. She first had the class copy down notes before handing them all a match and telling them to transfigure it into a needle. Vida and Layla knew they had to hold back their potential just like Harry and Matilda so as to not draw too much attention to themselves. They pretended to struggle to do the task until a girl named Hermione Granger managed to transfigure her match into a needle and getting congratulated by the teacher before easily transfiguring their own without fuss.
It was only after the class ended and the students were gone that McGonagall found out that they managed to do it while others still couldn't.
Charms:
Charms was fairly good for the sisters, because they got to be with Harry and Matilda in the class and they had all taken a shine to professor Flitwick because of his over-excitable personality, that he seemed generally kind and harboured no ill intent, and the fact they could tell that he had Fae blood running through him like them; he was their favourite teacher so far. All four children sat together on the saw row that would become their permanent seats for the rest of the year.
Defence against the dark arts:
As soon as the sisters saw Professor Quirrell they hated him, they didn't know why, just something inside them screamed for them that he was an enemy. Their Fae sides seemed to take over around the man and they
vowed that he would be their target of a lot of their meaner pranks.
It seemed that it would be this lesson that they would have the most trouble with because of Quirrell's constant stuttering among other things, but the sisters knew the stuttering was fake; no stutters they knew spoke like him and the stuttering was inconsistent.
All throughout the lesson Vida used her illusion powers on him to make him see things in the corner of his eye that weren't there and make him see things like writing different to how they were, and Layla focused her intangibility powers to make Quirrell fall out of his seat or make him trip over by temporarily making his foot go through the floor. They knew they were being unbelievably cruel and there was a chance that they could blow their cover, but they couldn't find it in themselves to stop.
It was only when Harry and Matilda confronted them after they left the classroom that they realised what they had truly done, like the haze over their minds that caused their unknown hate for Quirrell had been lifted once they left his presence. All five of the children decided something was wrong with Quirrell if he had caused the triplets to act the way they did and vowed to find out what it was, but until then Harry and Matilda had to try their best to keep the triplets from getting caught around Quirrell.
Potions:
The sisters didn't mind potions, Snape was unfair to the Gryffindor but left the sisters alone. The classroom was fairly cold but they didn't mind, what they did mind was the slight feeling of being trapped due to it being like a dungeon, and Fae hated to be trapped.
History of magic:
Vida, Layla, Harry, Matilda, and even Aria, who was a spirit and therefore had no need for sleep, didn't even make it to halfway through the lesson before they all fell asleep leaning against each other.
Herbolgy:
The lesson was fairly boring, not as boring as history of magic, but they didn't really have anything to do. The sisters never really had that much of a green thumb.
The Black/Potter twins. (Not including the lessons that have already been mentioned.)
Transfiguration:
The class went fairly the same for the twins as it did for the Saxton sisters. They waited till near the end of the lesson to transfigure their matches into needles and didn't draw any attention to themselves.
Potions:
Harry and Matilda didn't know why Professor Snape hated them, he just did. He had started off by taunting their fame when calling out the register, calling them 'our two newest celebrities'. He then asked them questions that someone else their age would know yet, the twins decided to forgo their façade of not being as smart as they were to show Snape up, every question he asked they answered correctly, Matilda eve went into a long speech about the uses of two ingredients in potions; Snape was forced to give up giving his questions. Their fellow classmates had looked at them weirdly until Matilda had said, "What? We read a lot."
Out of the twins, Snape seemed to dislike Harry more. The twins then finally remembered that Sirius had told them that their father and the other marauders used to be sworn enemies with Snape, so they guessed Snape had decided to be petty and hold a grudge over James' children; more over Harry because he looked a lot like his father but with his mother's eyes.
Before they left the twins set a letter on Snape's desk that said they extended an apology on behalf of their father (they inherited most of their traits from their mother, according to Sirius) for his treatment during school, but they weren't their father and it was petty to hold a grudge over someone's children.
Herbolgy:
The lesson was fairly boring for the twins as well, they already knew the stuff they were getting taught and were far more ahead in the curriculum. Matilda was starting to feel a repeat of what happened when she lived with the Wormwoods, having all this brain power but not being able to express it; evidence of this was when a nearby flowerpot exploded when she was keeping herself from screaming out that she already knew what she was getting 'taught'.
