Silver (A Hogwarts Story)

Four

The girls all awoke to the sound of Ernie pounding on their doors and shouting 'wake up! Wake up! I'm not allowed in there so you better be waking up yourself!'

Ameylia stood herself up and quickly got changed into black jeans and a white t shirt. She noticed the robes and ties set on their beds and grabbed them, putting on her tie first. She'd learned watching her dad get ready for work, before he left for good.

Oakly and Natalie took to notice of their robes and ties and quickly did the same, Ernie's voice mocking over and over again. The girls grabbed their satchels and rushed out of their dorm and down to the common room. Ravenclaws were everywhere, but mostly flooding out of the room. The girls jumped into the crowd and started down the staircases, Natalie and Ameylia overly-excited.

Ameylia's first class was Charms. She walked in and sat herself down beside Verah who was already sat and had her wand ready. Professor Flitwick walked in and introduced himself to the class. Ameylia lifted her wand and did as he said, also copying Verah because she seemed to know what she was doing. The girls attempted to turn a feather into a teapot, and Ameylia successfully did. Verah's feather turned into a bird and it flew out the window. A few kids clapped and laughed, Flitwick just shook his head.

"Too powerful." Verah giggled, throwing her wand onto the table and holding her hands together. "But you, Ameylia, you're a natural."

"Thanks." Smirked Ameylia. "But it's easy. You just flick and swish three times! Watch, I'll turn it back by reversing the movements." Ameylia did as she said and the teapot was back into a feather.

"Very well done, Miss Granger!" Flitwick clapped, grabbing the feather. "Now, can you turn this into a quill?"

Ameylia nodded, even though she knew she couldn't. She flipped her wand and mumbled under breath. "Viel." Suddenly, the feather turned into a quill dipped in an ink bottle.

"How did you know how to do that?" Verah asked, shocked alongside Flitwick.

"Erm, I don't know. It just, came to my head." Ameylia shrugged, setting down her wand. "Sorry."

"No need to be sorry! 10 points to Ravenclaw!" Flitwick smiled, grabbing the quill and ink and walking back to the front with it before teaching the next lesson.

"Naturalllll." Verah sang under her breath and Ameylia giggled, still not sure how she accomplished that. She looked up across the room to see Oakly staring at her. Sh quickly put her head back down. Did she just make Oakly hate her even more? They seemed to leave last night on a fine note!

"Erm, Verah." Whispered Ameylia and Verah leaned over with a hm. "Is Oakly upset with me?"

"Relax, Ilvermorny. She's cool. Like I said, she just needs to warm up to you." Verah assured, facing her wand.

"She just seems more...upset." Ameylia bit her cheek. "She's my dormie, her and the new year Natalie. She was ok last night...I thought."

"I mean, you just completed a spell that she'd been working on since last year. I'd be pished too." Shrugged Verah, lifting up her wand and trying again. "Flick, swish, swish, and swish." As the candle melted she turned back to Ameylia. "See. You're a natural. I'm, an idiot."
