Now for the disclaimer:

Now then on with the show:
Ron's POV:
It was bloody weird that the Americans' all had the same schedule as Harry and me. I mean it was weird enough that we had so many classes with the Slytherins but to have the same exact schedule as 5 random American exchange student creature, things. I don't know they ain't fully wizards, I know Hermione started to explain this but she used too many big words.
Any way we headed out of the great hall to our first class which was Charms, taught by Professor Flitwick (AN sorry if misspelled) who is kind of like them, he is part goblin or something. Since the Americans never been here before, Harry offered to lead them to class, I walked next to him and the Americans walked in a clump behind us.
I turned to Harry and asked "What you reckon' Flitwick is going to teach us this year?"
Harry slightly leaning his head towards me but still walking said "I don't know but I heard rumors that it is something similar to the Aqua Eructo Charm, you know that water jet one we learned last year."
Hermione, butted in saying "It must be the Augmenti charm, but we aren't supposed to learn that until next year, I wonder why he is teaching it to us now."
We continued this discussion until we reached the class room, like always all the Slytherins sat on one side of the room, while all the Gryffindors sat on the other. Hermione turned around and said to the blonde cat chick "This class is taught be Professor Flitwick, head of Ravenclaw, he is kind of like you guys, he has goblin ancestry so he is short and needs to stand on books to be able to teach. But do not underestimate him, he used to be a dueling champion before he came to teach at Hogwarts."
The blonde cat woman, I think her name is Annie- something or other I can't remember but for a cat person this thing she looks kind of hot, replied "Thanks Hermione for letting us know, but we are used to weirder, see at our old… school, the assistant… headmaster is a centaur. The actual headmaster does nothing and sits around playing Panko all day, complaining how he stuck dealing with little kids, whom he can never bother to learn the names of." She said the last part in a whisper like she didn't want anyone to hear what she said.
The fish-boy, imp, elf, and vampire all heard and started laughing, we heard thunder, and they all seemed to shut up almost instantaneously, but still snickered on occasion.
A few moments later Flitwick walked into the room and climbed up on his desk, he looked tired, he probably spent most of the night helping Dumbledore and the other teachers clean up the castle. After he got everyone's attention he spoke "today I will start teaching you the theory behind two high level charms based off of the aqua eructo charm, the first is the Augmenti charm which gives a more pure and clean water. And the extremely difficult Anaklusmos charm, which is the equivalent of dropping a good portion of the lake on some one. To start the class I would like all of you to line up and perform the aqua eructo charm."
Of course we all got up and tried to push our way to the front eager to do some magic, strangely the exchange students went to the back not wanting to go first. After much pushing Draco was first with a smug grin on his face, he pointed his wand at the bucket and did the spell. At first nothing happened, my hopes of him being knocked down a peg were dashed when a steady stream of water poured out of the tip of his wand.
Flitwick happily clapped his hands saying "good job Mr. Malfoy, next up please."
This continued on people earing good jobs, or Flitwick telling them they pronounced it wrong and correcting the,, almost everyone got on their first try, except the few who didn't pronounce it right. Heck even I got it on my first try. Finally we got up to the first of the exchange students, who was the elf chick.
She pulled out her wand which was intricately carved pointed it at the bucket and said "Aqua Eructo" Out of her wand like everyone else's came a steady calm stream of water, but when she stopped filling the bucket something strange happened, the water was perfectly still, I mean it should have been settling a little bit since it just came out of a wand into a buck, but it was sitting there as if it was there the whole time. The water looked so calm that it reminded me of pond when it reflected the moon perfectly in the middle of the night.
Up next was the imp boy, Leo I believe his name was he pointed his wand and with a huge maniacal grin said the spell. Like everyone else water came out, but like the elf girl, Thalia or something, the water wasn't normal. His was actually boiling, steam could be seen escaping the top, and it was bubbling more than when I leave the fire on under my potion to much in class. The metal bucket actually started to turn red from the heat of the water. I mean how hot could it be?
Next went the vampire dude, Nick or something, he took out his wand, the pure black metal of the wand seemed to radiate a similar power that a dementor does. Like the other two he pointed his wand towards the still red bucket and did the charm. And black water, BLACK water came pouring out, I mean what is with these people, are none of them normal wizards, do all of them have to give out a strong vibe when your around them. The black water hit the bucket and instead of hearing the sound of the water turning into steam, we hear cries and moans of pain, everyone instantly covered their ears. All but the exchange students looked scared and just stared at the kid, who shrugged his shoulders and the other exchange students at the back of the class.
Up next was Annabell, no Annabeth, she took out her bronze wand and did the spell, the cleanest, water out of anyone's came pouring out of her wand, it settled nicely in the bucket, Flitwick turned to here and said "you did the Charm perfectly 5 points for Gryffindor" Hermione looked a bit miffed that this new girl was able to better than she can, it was strange though, it looked like none of them has ever used a wand before. But while we were all going they were watching intently on how to do it, Annabeth seemed to dissect your every motion to see what was necessary and what was useless movements. She would make a great chess player, she seemed to know just how to do things. I bet I could beat her in the game of wizard chest. (Yeah and I am an one-eyed, one horned, flying purple people eater)
Lastly was fish-boy, I mean Percy. He gave a nervous grin, pointed his wand at the bucket and said the charm, instead of the small steady stream of water, Percy's wand sent out a tidal wave of water, I mean the entire room was soaked. The room was flooded with water, if you were standing on the floor it went up to your ankles, your feet would be completely under water, for a split second I swear it looked like Percy was standing in a dry patch. The only good thing that came out of this was that the bucket was in front of Draco's seat, so he got the majority of the water thrown at him.
All the Gryffindors laughed at the site of the soaked Slytherins, Draco shot out of his seat and yelled "You guys cheated there is no way for you to be able to do the spell like that," the next part he said with a bit of joy and pride "My father will hear about this."
Percy had a look in his eyes that he wanted to punch Draco square in the face, and was about to say something before Flitwick cut him off, I was kind of hoping to hear Percy sass out Draco again, that would defiantly knock him down a peg especially with all the witnesses.
Flitwick said "Mr. Malfoy there is no need to bother your father, if you would of waited a moment I would have asked the class if anyone could explain why there spells where so much different than yours. Now then can anyone tell me why there spells were different?"
No one raised their hand except Hermione and Annabeth, who both were trying to raise it higher than the other to make sure they get picked. Nick, or was it Nico wasn't paying attention, Thalia was laying her head on the desk, and Percy was doing charms to dry students and the room in general. I slouched in my chair and tried to hide so he wouldn't pick on me. But with my luck Flitwick turned to me and said "How about you Mr. Weasley care to try and give an explanation on why their spells were unique?"
I opened my mouth and said "Uhhh? Is it because they are not full wizards?" I asked in a hushed tone, Flitwick responded "Care to elaborate?"
I sighed and said the first thing that came to my mind "Is it because they are part something else so it has a strong influence on their magic?"
Flitwick gave a smile and said "correct Mr. Weasley 5 points for Gryffindor. It as he has said due to their other haves, their magic is drastically different then a normal wizards, as you can see the essence of the calmness of the moon was reflected in Ms. Grace's spell," Thalia seemed to get pissed at the mention of her last name and said "It's just Thalia, I do not use my last name."
Flitwick being the kind Professor he was said "My apologies Ms. Gr-Thalia, now as I was saying, her spell was influenced by what she is. Mr. Di Angelo's spell was made the water reflected the death and torment that is always around him. Mr. Valdez's reflected the incredibly high temperature of a fire imp. Ms. Chase's," I swear I heard Nico say, she won't be that for long. Flitwick didn't seem to notice and was saying "spell was influenced by her knowledge and what she learned from watching all of you. While Mr. Jackson, being born partially of the sea released copious amounts of water, which if my guess is correct is sea water."
As he finished the clock chimed for our next class, which for us luckily was Care of Magical Creatures, hopefully Hagrid was back, unluckily it was with the Slytherins.
That is it for this chapter, I decided to end it here for three reasons
1) I wanted to try and give each class its own chapter
2) I want you guys to suggest creatures for Care of Magical Creatures class rules will be lower
3) It is getting really late.
The rule for the Creating creature is:
Either PM me or Review it
It can be any fantasy creature,
You can make one up, if you do include what it looks like, what it special traits it has, which gods' domain does it fall under, and what is special about it.
The Creatures can be extremely dangerous, if it is I might save it for when Umbridge is doing her review of the teachers,
I will try and update as soon as possible.
Until Next Time
