The stars (Harry Potter fanfiction)

Chapter Forty-One

For the past months, we have been meeting in the Room of Requirements. Neville had found it by mistake and now we use it. Right now we're all lined up while Harry lectures us. I somewhat forgave him, we snogged and made up.

"Stunning is one of the most useful spells in your arsenal. It's a wizard's bread and butter, really. So come on, then, Nigel. Give it your best shot."

Nigel stands at the end of the room. Harry is on the other side of him.

"Stupefy!" He yells throwing his wand up. But he and Harry both go flying, I start to giggle a little.

Harry gets up wincing in pain. "Good. Not bad at all, Nigel. Well done."

Now Hermione and Ron are going against each other. The twins start teasing Ron about it.

"Come on, Ron."

"Come on, Ron."

"You can do it."

I'm standing next to George and I hear him whisper to Fred. "One Sickle."

"You're on," Fred tells him, I laugh at that it's obvious who going to win. It's Hermione.

They both put their wands up. But Hermione is faster than Ron and yells.

"Stupefy."

Ron goes flying backward, Hermione winning anyone could've guessed that.

Everyone starts laughing, Ron gets up walking it off like it's nothing. "I let her do that. It's good manners, isn't it?"

"Yeah, you let her," I say, Ron looks at me and grabs my arm.

"Athena would like to go next!" He shouts out, placing me where he was just standing. "Who wants to go with her?" He asks, loads of people have their hands up.

Ron points to Seamus. "Alright, Seamus you're up." Ron goes to the sidelines. And Seamus goes to the other spot across me.

Everyone quiets down, I raise my wand and so does Seamus.

He goes to open his mouth, but I'm quicker.

"Stupefy!"

He's thrown back, doing flips in mid-air. I smile and start jumping up and down.

"I did it!"

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

It's around Christmas time now, Umbridge has made even more insane rules. And has been questioning kids left and right, but no one has told the secret.

Harry and I have spent more time together. And we've even been kissing in public, I think people have finally caught on that we're dating. Well I mean they have too, we snog in the hallways a lot. Cho even saw us one time, I felt happy that she saw Harry was mine.

I'm next to Neville cheering him on. He's trying to do Expelliarmus, he still hasn't got it down.

"Expelliarmus!" He yells one more time, and he's done it. He disarmed Padma, she and her sister look up in shock. Everyone around us smiles for Neville, he's just staring not believing that he did that.

The Patil twins rush up to Neville, giving him words of encouragement. Harry then pops up, smiling and patting Neville on the back.

"Fantastic, Neville. Well done, man."

Harry then starts walking to the front, probably getting ready to end this class.

"So that's it for this lesson. Now, we're not gonna be meeting again until after the holidays. So just keep practicing on your own as best you can. And well done, everyone. Great, great work."
