With the two classes for today done, Felix headed back to the Great Hall for a quick lunch, before pulling out his map to guide him to the Transfiguration classroom to meet with Professor Weasley.

It wasn't too long a walk, thankfully, as Felix could already feel his legs starting to ache. How do these people do this every day? I'll be buff by the end of term.

Felix was greeted by sunshine as he entered the Transfiguration courtyard, students dotted about enjoying the afternoon sun, spells whizzing around that gave the courtyard a real magical feel. Felix smiled, content with his surroundings as he knocked on the classroom door.

"Come in," Professor Weasley called. Felix pushed open the door to reveal a long classroom decorated in a variety of oddities, from half transfigured goblets to small butterflies in jars.

"Ah, Felix, do come in. I hope your first day has gone well?" the professor asked him, peering over her half moon spectacles.

"Yes, Professor, it's been great," Felix said with a wide smile.

"Excellent! I've heard good things already from Professors Ronen and Hecat. I've asked all your professors to provide you with extra assignments and opportunities to learn to help you catch up. Professor Ronen will meet you right outside when we're finished for the first of these assignments.

"Then, I thought we might send you off to Hogsmeade to see about replacing your lost things. I'd like you to go with a classmate on your first visit, I've heard you got on well today with Natsai Onai and Sebastian Sallow, would you like for me to ask one of them to accompany you?" Weasley asked.

"Sebastian would be great," Felix said eagerly.

"Wonderful, I will send word to him now and ask him to meet you after your assignment," Professor Weasley said with a warm smile. She dismissed Felix and with a wave, he exited the classroom to find Professor Ronen, who was entertaining a small crowd of students by levitating a small flock of paper birds in front of the large fountain.

He set Felix off to work practising the reparo charm, and in a few short minutes, much like earlier today, Felix had mastered the spell and was sent on his way with the professor's compliments. "You're a natural, my boy!"

Felix made his way through the castle with a grin on his face, feeling proud of the day's accomplishments.

"Hey Sebastian!" he called as the Slytherin came into sight.

"Hey! I hear we're off on a little adventure," Sebastian grinned cheekily. "Shall we?" He pushed open the large doors to lead Felix ourside.

The doors opened up into a beautiful courtyard, complete with a large water fountain, circular hedges lined with benches and grassy lawns

The doors opened up into a beautiful courtyard, complete with a large water fountain, circular hedges lined with benches and grassy lawns. Students flew around on their brooms and others lounged around enjoying the sunshine.

"Hey Sebastian? I've been meaning to ask someone. What exactly is quidditch?" Felix asked innocently.

Sebastian laughed loudly at that. "You aren't serious, are you?" He glanced at Felix and saw his confused face, which only made him laugh more.
