Belladonna Le Faye

Study Group Time

After what seemed like the longest day of classes ever, Sky and Bella follow Charlotte up to the fourth floor and down the left cordor. She leads them to a room, with images of plants on the walls.

"Charlotte," a woman with black eyes and red hair says. "I was wondering when I was going to see you, dear. Oh, who are these young ladies?"

"This is Sky and Bella, they both transferred in this year. They would also both like to join the nature club."

"Oh, how absolutely lovely." She grabs three packets off her desk and hands one to each of them. "Now that has the bird sitting journal and also the name of the teacher who will be supervising the club while I'm on maternity leave after Christmas. And as much as I would love to chat and get to know you two better. I have an appointment to get to. I'll see all three of you next week for the club's official first meeting."

She hurries the girls out of the room and closes the door behind them. Then they all make their way downstairs to the first floor. They tell Mrs. Hymnway good-bye and head to the library. Charlotte lets Sarah know she is ready to go as Sky and Bella head over to a rather large gathering of boys and girls near the back of the library.

They don't say a word as they take seats near Thomas and Norville. Sky sitting by Thomas and Bella on her other side. A few of the other students greet Sky and then introduce themselves to Bella when they notice her. She introduced herself to the as she pulls her books out of her bags and works on her hardest subject at the moment. Transfiguration. She has been having a bit of difficulty with the pronunciations, she starts to whisper them under breath. One of the other students near by smiles at her.

"Belladonna, was it?" She nods facing the other student, trying to remember her name.

"Rosa, right?"

"Yes," the strawberry blonde with blue eyes says. "I noticed you're working on your pronunciations." Bella nods at her. "Perhaps I can be of some assistance?" She stands up from her spot and comes to sit beside Bella. "But we should probably leave the library for this as we will be talking a lot and talking, not whispering is better."

Bella nods and the two grab their things and exit the library. They take a seat on a bench outside and Bella pulls out the list of transfiguration spells she can't seem to pronounce."Umm, so how exactly can you help?" Bella asks.

"I had a speech impediment when I was younger so my teachers took to writing down the full pronunciations for me and then a set of English words that made the same sound as the word with a few tweeks when I started my magical education." She pulls out a sheet of paper and shows it to Bella it has the transfiguration spells on it as well as the pronunciations and a list of English words that did indeed end up sounding very similar to the spell. They even listed tips for saying the spell. "Before they started doing this I ended up turning one of my classmates into a ferret and I was so embarrassed, because I had to tell the teacher it had been purely an accident and I didn't know how to turn him back. He turned the student back and then helped me with pronouncing the spell correctly. So now I'm going to help you."

"Thanks," Bella says before they begin. They spend the next several hours working on her pronunciations, before both their stomachs grumble.
