Pyxis sat down by herself at an empty table in the Charms classroom. Her teacher, Professor Flitwick was one of the shortest wizards she'd ever seen, and she swore he must be nearly a hundred years old. Flitwick was busy with some papers at the front of the class when the door at the back of the class burst open. James Potter stood there panting along with a tall, dark- skinned boy and the girl from Pyxis' dormitory with the hair that changed in different lights. Simultaneously, they looked at the only free desk in the classroom and ran for it. The boys got there first.
'Sorry Dom' whispered James Potter with a grin on her face. The girl sighed and cautiously sat down next to Pyxis. Professor Flitwick's lesson consisted him trying to teach the class the spell 'Wingardium Leviosa.' After the first few attempts, Pyxis managed to levitate the feather which was on the desk in front of her.
'Excellent! 10 points to Gryffindor!' After another five minutes of the lesson, Pyxis noticed the girl next to her still struggling to get her feather to levitate.

'Try making the "Gar" longer when you say the spell' Pyxis blurted out.

The girl stared at her, narrowing her eyes as if to try and judge whether Pyxis was telling the truth. She turned back to the feather.
'Wingardium Leviosa.'

The feather began to float up from the desk.

'Thanks' the girl said the Pyxis with a wide smile on her face. 'I'm Dominique. Call me Dom.'

'OH! You're the girl Teddy told me to talk to.. I'm Pyxis.'

'Teddy? I didn't know you and Teddy knew each other.'

'We don't really, he's just nice to me, he told some sixth year girl off for saying things to me.'

'Yeah, Teddy has always been like that, he hates to see anyone being bullied, unless it's by him of course.' Dominique laughed. Pyxis looked at her curiously, she couldn't imagine Teddy being a bully.'

'I don't mean it seriously, Teddy is part of the family, he teases us sometimes.'

'Oh, right, I get it. Is Teddy your brother?'

'No, he's my uncle Harry's God son, but he's practically my cousin.'

'Harry? As in Harry Potter?'

'Yep, James is my cousin, so is Fred.' Dominique pointed to the boy sat next to James Potter.

'Do you have many cousins then?'

'You have no idea!' replied Dominique. The two girls continued to chat for the rest of the lesson. Dominique told Pyxis all about her many cousins, and how it was a nightmare at Christmas because they all went to their grandparents' house and there was never any room with all of them. Pyxis found her stories fascinating. She had always envied people with big families. She had Scorpius of course, and Arianna, but she never had a sibling or a cousin her own age that shared her interest in Quidditch or in bands like 'The Bent-Winged Snitches.'
The bell for lunch rang and Professor Flitwick dismissed the class. The two girls packed up their things.
'C'mon Dom, I'm starving!' Called over James.
'Is your stomach the only thing you ever think about antler-head?' she retorted.
'I guess I'll see you around later then?' Dominique gave her a small smile.
'Yeah, see you later Dominique!'
'I told you it's Dom!' Dominique gave her one last smile before rushing out of the door after James and Fred.
