Chapter 11
Potions class had gone along fine. He had made some friends in Dean Thomas, Seamus Finnegan, and Ronald Weasley. All of whom were sitting with Harry during his first potions lessons.
He liked Dean and Seamus however he seemed to connect more with Ron. Harry and Ron spent the entire class getting to know each other. Harry knew about Ron's siblings and his father's work at the ministry. Ron also told Harry about his ambitions for becoming a Quidditch player, which explained his muscular body. He had been training for it ever since he was a boy.
When their potions class had ended Harry and Ron both went to Charms together since they both conveniently had it at the same time.
"How is Charms?" Harry asked Ron.
"It's not bad at all, fairly easy and plus Professor Flitwick is a very nice and forgiving teacher" Ron said.
"Well then, I don't have much to worry about" Harry said.
"Why did you finish the charms book as well?" Ron said with a playful smirk.
"No, but once I do I shouldn't have too much trouble with it" Harry said. They had walked all the way to the 2nd floor. Surprisingly the changing staircase didn't give them too much trouble this time.
The classroom was easy enough to find since first year students were rushing towards it. Harry and Ron both followed suite and entered their classrooms. The room was pretty large and piled with books. The desks were on either side of the room leaving a huge space in the middle. The professor was no where to be seen so Harry and Ron both sat beside each other. Soon enough a familiar face joined Harry.
He didn't realize she had sat beside him until she said "Hi". Harry then turned to see who it was that greeted him.
"Oh, Hi Hermione" he said to her. On her opposite side Seamus Finnegan had sat down.
Soon enough a small old goblin had appeared before the class and had climbed up a pile of books in the front of the room.
"Good Afternoon everyone" He began "I am Professor Flitwick. I will be your Charms professor for almost the rest of your years at Hogwarts. Now instead of introductions I feel we should get right started. Now will you all open up your books to page 15"
Everyone began pulling their books out of their bags and flipped to the page except for Harry.
"Now, which of you can tell me the uses for the spell mentioned on this page?" Flitwick asked.
Before Harry's hand could go up Hermione's shot up first, which caught Harry by surprise.
"Yes" Flitwick said.
"Wingardium Leviosa is a spell used to lift or levitate an object. However one must be careful since heavy object tend to be heavier to lift as well" Hermione said.
"Well done, 10 points to Gryffindor" Flitwick said.
"Note to self Harry, Marry that girl" Harry said to himself.
"Now if you would all please read the following page while I acquire some materials for our first practice session of the term" Flitwick said before heading back to where he came.
"That was brilliant that was" Harry said to Hermione.
She smiled and blushed, then said "Thanks. Sorry that you didn't get to go"
"Its fine, it doesn't matter to me that much" Harry said, earning another smile. Flitwick came back a few moments later with a pile of feathers and they were all practicing that spell for a while.
The rest of Harry's day was good the classes that followed and the lunch break was good as well. Ron had introduced Harry to a whole bunch of Gryffindor guys and girls. He didn't see Hermione there but that was because she wasn't hungry or she was most likely studying and lost track of the time. Out of all the courses Harry enjoyed Defense the most since he of course excelled on the first day.
Strangely enough his scar started hurting him during the middle of that class but walked it off on his way to Herbology, which wasn't that much fun for Harry. He just had one more class before the end of his first school day.
"Welcome to your first flying lesson…"
