The  double lesson ended and Y/N and Hermoine went to lunch in the great hall before heading to Charms. They had double charms to finish the day.

As they entered the class they were greeted by the friendly but diminutive Professor Flitwick.

After checking the attendance record and falling off his stack of books when getting to Harry's name he turned his attention to Y/N

After checking the attendance record and falling off his stack of books when getting to Harry's name he turned his attention to Y/N.

"Mr L/N... I had a discussion with Professor McGonagall about your... progress and I would like to assess your skills prior to starting the class if that is ok with you?"

He invited Y/N to the centre of the classroom and conjured up a training dummy.

"You may lower your wand Mr. L/N"

"That was exceptional Mr L/N. Truly exceptional. Good show. I would ask that you spend the rest of this lesson undertaking a previous theory exam while the class starts learning the light casting spell".

"Sounds great Professor" Y/N smiled before returning to his seat. Hermione grabbed his hand under the desk and gave it a friendly squeeze. She whispered into his ear:
