The second year

Previous to my last entry, this is now my second year back at Hogwarts for yet again, another adventure. This year is definitely going to be different though.. I can feel it. The first years are put into assigned classes, but after they become second years, that's when things change. Second years can choose 2 new electives towards the end of the year. We were in the common rooms deciding which classes to take next year. It was currently 6:20pm and everyone was up and about, catching up with their friends. I sat on the floor near the fireplace with Hermione, Dean, Ron, Harry, Neville and some others. Dean was playing around with Ron and Harry was explaining to Neville which classes we could take. So realistically, Hermione was the only one listening.

"I think divination would be interesting, we could see our future that lays ahead.." I said.
Hermione looked at me as if I was crazy, "yeah I don't know about that one. Maybe study of ancient runes?"
Dean overheard us and asked, "what's that?"
"I'm not really sure" I said.
Hermione looked down at her paper, "they're not really specific on these packets, I think I might need to look these classes up".
"Well we've already taken defense against the dark arts, Astronomy, herbology..." I said.
Hermione added, "care for magical creatures and muggle studies might be something Ron's interested in" she said giggling.
Ron looked over with bouncy ball in his hand, "That's rubbish".
Hermione rolled her eyes, "we have to take these ron, plus you might have an interest in it. Your father certainly had a knack for muggle studies and Charlie liked magical creatures" she said.
He sighed, "well good thing I'm not them".

Dean and Neville laughed. Hermione always looked annoyed when ron said something. To be honest, I get it, he wasn't the brightest.. I looked down on my paper and circled the ones I wanted to take. We had to turn these in before Wednesday, so that they could arrange the classes. Suddenly, I felt a tap on my shoulder and I looked behind me, "pass me that book would you?" Said one of the gingers.
Yes I did in fact, still not know their names. Don't blame me, I didn't have classes with any of the weasley's, except Ron. That was because he was in the same year as me. He did tell me their names once, but I forgot. I have a good memory, but names is what gets me. The twins sat away from us our first year so I never really paid attention if Ron had said their names.

I looked up and handed him the book, after he grabbed it, he went on to smacking the other twin in the head with it. I'm not the least bit surprised.

It was the first day in our new classes and I had Astronomy first. Then transfiguration in room 1B. After that I had potions, and for some apparent reason, the ginger twins were in there. I overheard Ron talking to Harry that Professor McGonagall made them retake the class because they were using their wands for other purposes and blowing things up. Apparently they needed to re-learn how to properly do potions, but that was weird because they were already in their 4th year.

Professor Snape arranged the students so that they didn't sit by their friends. It felt like he favored Slytherin because they seemed to sit where they wanted. One of the twins sat behind me next to lee Jordan and Colin Creevey. Professor snape was handing out papers when professor Flitwick came bursting in class. He urged professor snape to follow him because there had been some trouble in charms class and he needed his assistance. Snape rolled his eyes and walked out of his class, "you better be quiet when I come back. Everyone read 34-40 and I expect you all to write a paper on it if you finish" he said. He shut the door and walked out.

Seamus Finnigan was the first to talk, "I wonder what he's on about" he said. One of the gingers laughed and started talking behind me. Hermione began reading her textbook and writing down some notes. I started reading too, I didn't want snape yelling at me like he usually does to gryffindor. When suddenly I felt someone twirling my hair behind me. I turned around to face someone bent over their desk to ask me a question. "You- you heard him, what pages did he say to read?" He said.
I sighed, "34-40". He stuck out his hand to greet me, "thanks, I'm Fred by the way, Ron's brother"

Finally a name to put on a face. "Oh I'm y/n Gardner".
He sat back down and started flipping his pages quickly. He seemed to finish within the first 4 minutes, he probably didn't even read most of it. Professor snape slammed open the door to scare everyone and walked slyly next to the desks. Fred was whispering and laughing behind me next to someone, and I figured he would get called out. Snape walked up to the front with his wand, staring at Fred, "Mr. Weasley, I reckon this is your second time taking this class, yes?".
"Yes. Professor McGonagall thought I might need some extra skills. you know, working on some potions"  he said.
Snape looked down flipping though some pages, "tell me about the Herbicide Potion, I assume you know what it is? You're a fourth year".
Fred cleared his throat, "it's purpose is to kill or damage, you would need Flobberworm mucus, horklump juice, lionfish spines, and some dried herbs"
Snape looked bothered, "you read the pages I asked, didn't you? Tell me about swelling potion"

Hermiones hand flung in the air, eager to answer the question. Fred spoke behind me sternly, "It's yellow and it's to cause an enlargement. You need pufferfish eyes, dried nettles, and bat spleens".
Snape walked over to his desk, "very well then Mr. Weasley. I better not expect you to be chattering in my class from now on, pay attention. Your not as dumb as you look". His tough clicked as he said his last word, he really meant to emphasize it. After class ended, everyone crowded together to walk out the door for lunch. Fred shouted my name before he walked off, "thanks mrs Gardner for the pages".
Hermione overheard and nudged my shoulder, "what's that about?" She asked.
I sighed, "he didn't pay attention when snape said the page numbers".

Everyone made their way to the hall for lunch. We could already smell the mash potatoes and sausages. All the food was served in a gold platter. Literally.

"So how's quidditch been so far?" I asked Harry. He laughed, "I fell off my broom last week, what does that tell you?" He said. Fred and the other one burst out laughing, trying to hold their stomach. "H-he fell off his BROOM!" Said Fred. The other one laughed more. I didn't understand how it was so funny but their laughs were contagious. "Seriously, what's so funny about that?" Asked Hermione. Ron rolled his eyes, "we don't expect you to understand Hermione. I don't think I've ever even seen you laugh. Do you?" He asked. Hermione sighed, "oh course I laugh. And you've never seen me laugh probably because you're not that funny"
I've got to admit, that made me laugh.
Fred and the other twin banged on the tables laughing. Those two sure know how to have a good time.

"Good one Hermione" I said. Fred reached over for a potato, "what about you Mrs Gardner? You've got any jokes up your sleeve?" He asked. I turned a little pink if I'm being honest. "I just have to wait for the right moment. fred, is it? I have my jokes but Hermione already said a good one" I laughed. Fred looked perplexed a bit, "what do you mean 'fred is it?' Of course its fred. What else could it be? George? Have you already forgotten my name? Well how manners you have Mrs Gardner" he said.
George. That's the other twin. "No, as a matter of fact, I have not forgotten your name. I just wanted to reassure myself. You do have a twin, you know. It's not my fault I have a hard time remembering which is which" I said.
He chuckled, "Mrs Gardner, even with a twin, I'm unforgettable".
The others broke out into laughter and pushed his shoulders playfully. Seamus Finnigan laughed so hard he nearly fell back. Ron obviously thought his brother was an idiot to say things like that, but he was still laughing.
Fred was a feisty one, I do have to admit.
