Year 1 - Dynamics - A Harry Potter Fic.

Part 12 - Vyla's POV

--------------------

(Charms Class)
(Vyla's PoV)

---------------------

I stand up at the front of the class with Draco, as Professor Flitwick pulls up a pineapple out of literally fricking nowhere, and levitates it onto Jay's, mine, and Justin's desk.

"Go ahead, you two. Show us what you're so eager to show off."

I look at Draco and back at the pineapple. He shrugs and points to the fruit with his arms.

"Ladies first, Vy'." He insists.

I groan, "Gosh, you're such a baby."

"Am not!"

Professor Flitwick clears his throat. Aggressively. We get back on track and Draco gestures for me to go first with a nod in the pineapple's direction. I groan internally and step forward.

I clear my throat and grip the wood of my wand.

"Wingardium Leviosa," I cast.

But the pineapple is much heavier than that fricking feather. Much.

I struggle, and the most I get out of it is an awkward wibble-bob along with the table. Ok, so I'm not perfect at this. But hey, at least I tried!

I drop the pineapple on the other end of the desk and huff a breath of irritation.

"There. Not great, but done."

"Hmph."

I shrug.

"I asked you to make it dance. Not a hover-bob."

"Well, what do you expect! You start us off with a beginner's charm when honestly, it could be overlooked! And the muggle-borns could just ask to be shown by a half-blood or pure-blood!"

"Uh, Vy'?"

"Hush it Draco!"

I hear some snickering from his other friends.

Then I turn back to the Professor.

"Why can't we try something a little more useful and day-to-day? Like the light charm, hmm?"

"That is enough! Miss Ashum, Mister Malfoy! Detention!"

"But I didn't --"

"Guilty by association!!!"

Draco slumps his shoulders forward and grumbles under his breath. I cross my arms and sigh.

"Dammit..." I mumble again.

"To your seats, now please."

I return to my seat and so does Draco.

"Now, thanks to Miss Ashum's outburst, I shall now give a very detailed lecture on why it's important to PAY ATTENTION. As well as following instructions."

Jay leans in and whispers, "I'm so sorry."

The entire class groans but I just cackle, "You're welcome!"

But deep down, I'm mad, too.

(Time Skip)- Lunch

-----------------

Draco and I rush to the Great Hall to get food, and then on the way back, we take our sweet ass time.

"This is all your fault," Draco tells me.

"Gee really? I hadn't noticed."

He clicks his tongue, shaking his head. When we get back to the classroom, I recognize a very familiar Gryffindor sitting on the right side of the room.

"Valentine?" I blurt.

Thankfully, it doesn't look like Professor Flitwick is here yet. Valentine upon hearing their name turns their head and meets mine and Draco's eyes.

"What'd you two do?"

"We didn't follow directions, and skipped ahead." I put it.

"What about YOU? What'd you do?" Draco asks.

"Flitwick said to levitate the feather but I aimed a little too far... and may have ended up lifting him..."

Draco starts cackling, and as do I. Or at least, until we hear the Professor come up from behind us.

I straighten my pose in a hurry and drag Draco to a seat on the opposite side of the room from Valentine. Usually in detention, we have to sit separated by houses. I only know due to an incident after curfew...

Turns out there's a curfew.

I rip out a piece of paper after eating my food and fold it up into a triangle. I focus my gaze on it and whisper.

"Wingardium Leviosa," And I flick it across the table to Draco.

It slides in front of his tray, as he finishes the last of his plum pudding.

His eyes land on it, before he looks up at me. A grin crosses his face. He locks his eyes on the paper and whispers the spell,

"Wingardium Leviosa,"

It flies again, and I look up to make sure that the Professor isn't paying attention. He's not; he's caught up in the music papers for another grand feature of Hogwarts. Good.

I mark the spell in my mind and try that. It flies back to Draco without even having to say it.

This shocks both Draco and me.

"How'd you do that?"

"With my mind." I half-joke.

I watch as he tries doing it as I did, but he ends up just staring at it like he's constipated. I snicker under my breath. That's funny.

He huffs, giving up, and says, "Screw it. Wingardium Leviosa,"

And it flips back over to me. I look over at Valentine and see them invested in a book of some sort. One called 'The Sound of Stars', but I've never heard of it. Oh well.

"Wingardium Leviosa," I send it flying at them, and the corner jabs them in the head.

"Ow!" They look around and find the folded paper on the table beside their book.

Uh oh.

"Wingardium Leviosa," I pull it back across the room and grin at them.

I wiggle my eyebrows at them, thus challenging them to a game.

They mouth to me, "Challenge accepted."

I smirk deviously and shoot the paper back at them, and it flies for their face.

They see the paper coming and whisper, "Wingardium leviosa," stopping right in front of their face. Then sends it shooting in our direction. And it comes flying fast. Fast and hard. I let out a tiny squeak of surprise and duck, and Draco ducks too. It crashes into a vase on the wall beside us, and the vase falls. And breaks. I wince upon the sound of it shattering, and Professor Flitwick snaps around and sees us each keeping our heads down.

"What happened!" He demands to know.

"Dunno," I mutter.

"It just broke," Draco adds.

"Lying has a consequential punishment! Tell the truth!"

"I-I'm sorry. My wand malfunctioned..." Valentine says, messing with a bracelet. "I was holding it and it accidentally went off..."

Professor Flitwick sighs.

"Ten points from Gryffindor."

"Sorry, sir,"

"Yeah. Sorry." Draco mutters.
