CHAPTER 4
I looked at the clock by my bed and it was 7:50. Whoa!
I jumped out of bed and changed into a pair of dark blue skinny jeans, a black t-shirt and a blue hoodie. I walked down 5 minutes later and found him sitting on the couch. He grinned at my messy state and I huffed.
"Sorry, slept in. Got your wand?" I asked and he nodded, still grinning. I summoned the package and some first year textbooks and walked out the door. We went down to the lake and sat under a tree.
I pulled out my wand and summoned the first list of spells he needed to know. I handed him the list and pointed to a random one.
"Read it" I said.
"Wingardium Leviosa, levitating charm" I nodded.
"And you have to do this" I took my wand out and did the swish and flick movement.
"Here, I'll show you" I non-verbally casted the charm on a textbook.
"How come you didn't say Wingardium Leviosa?" I shrugged.
"When you get good enough, you don't have to say them out loud. Only in your head"
"Oh, ok. Well can I try?" He asked.
"Go for it" And he looked at the text book. He did the wrist movement and it levitated a couple feet in the air. I widened my eye.
"Wow Jake" I grinned.
"This could be easy!" We both laughed.
"Right, so you have the first one. Moving on"
So we spent all day working on the spells, not going anywhere for food and by night time, he had most of the spells memorized. He could name the spell, say the incantation, explain what it did and perform it verbally and non-verbally. So we packed everything back up and headed to the kitchens for some food after he swore if he didn't have food, he would pass out.
"We should be finishing up the spells by tonight. Then tomorrow, we can go into potions" We crossed the great hall and I went up to the painting behind the staff table.
"Tickle the pair" I said, pointing to it. He looked at me like I was crazy but poked it a few times anyways.
It giggled and squirmed and turned into a silver handle. I laughed at his expression from the pair and laughed even harder as he saw his first house elf. He jumped back about 10 feet when it spoke. He made a face but didn't move.
"Miss, can Tipsy help Misses and Mister?" I nodded.
"Jake, what do you want to eat?" He shrugged, not taking his eyes off the elf.
"Right. Well, could you bring me-" I turned to Jacob.
"You like chicken pie, right?" and he nodded.
"Ok, can you bring me a lot chicken pie and something to drink please?" And the little house elf ran along. I started to walk through them when I realized that Jacob wasn't following.
Oh come on!" And I walked to a table in the back. A couple minutes later, 4 house elves returned with a whole pan chicken pie, goblets, plates, forks, knives, apple pie and a pitcher of pumpkin juice.
"Thanks!" and we ate. After that, that, we went back up to the common room and finished studying before saying good night.
I think this just might be able to work out!
