Why Us? (a Harry potter Next Generation fan fic)

Chapter 9

When Izzy and I got to Charms, not many people were in the room. We sat down in the front while other students started to arrive. Rose walked in and sat beside Izzy, they have gotten closer since they met. Since Izzy and I sat in the middle of the 4 seat table, that gave Albus the chance to set on my other side.

"Hey Alexis! How are you doing?" Albus asked. I looked up at him and he smiled.

"I'm doing fine, Albus. You know, you didn't have to yell at Fred yesterday. We talked and stuff, he really didn't know what he was doing." I said. Albus' smiled dropped off his face and he turned away from me. What did I do? Oh well, I'll deal with it later. Professor Van Horsen walked into the room.

"Good morning, class. I would like you all to take out your wands." Professor Van Horsen said. He started to walked around the room. "Today, we will be doing Accio charms. You will be practicing on pillows, so if you get hit, it wouldn't hurt. You must say 'Accio pillow' and, if you're concentrated enough, you might be able to summon the pillow. Each of you will be assigned to a certain pillow, and you must concentrate on that pillow. Now, when I say your name, I want you to came over and take.the pillow I hand you. Then I want you to place them across the room and start to practice. First up, Isabel Peters."

Izzy got up and walked towards Professor Van Horsen. She took her little pillow and put it against the wall. She then started to repeat 'accio pillow' over and over again, while Professor called out names.

"Albus Potter." Albus still had a weird look on his face when he walked off. I wish I knew.what I did. It was like a 2 minute conversation and I mad him mad or something! Merlin, I need to get better at reading people's feelings.

"Rose Weasley." Rose walked off, got her pillow, and started to practice beside Izzy. We had Charms with the Hufflepuffs' today, so I didn't know any of the names the Professor called out. Finally I heard my name.

"Alexis Waters, come here please." He said. I walked up to him and started to grab my pillow. "Ah, hold on there Miss Waters. I need to have a little chat with you, it won't take long. Come step in my office."

"Yes sir," I said. I didn't want to, why would he need to talk to me. If it was about the grits, then it's nothing to worry about. But what if he's working for Wood or something. I can't trust anybody except my friends. Professor Van Horsen stepped around his desk and sat down.

"Why don't you take a seat, Miss Waters," he said, pointing to the chair in front of him. "Do you know why I wanted to talk to you?"

"No sir, I don't."

"Well, part of it's about you and that despicable young man, Fred Weasley II. I saw you throw grits on Miss Elise and you have detention with me this afternoon, along with Mr. Weasley. Now the other part. I've heard, from a very reliable student, that you've been having dreams about somebody from your past. Would you like to tell me anything about it?" Professor Van Horsen asked.

I stopped myself from replying with a sarcastic comment. Who would tell him about the dreams? The only person who knew about them was Fred, and he promised me he wasn't going to tell. Unless? No, I had to get to the bottom of this.

"No sir, I haven't been having dreams? I would think I'd know if I've been having dreams, but I haven't. I'll tell you if I do though," I said. I gave Professor Van Horsen my big brown puppy dog eyes and asked innocently, "Who would tell you that?"

"That is none of your business, Miss Waters." He said, narrowing his eyes. "I think it's time for you to get back to class."

I got up and walked out of the office, grabbed my pillow,and walked near Izzy. The talk had lasted about 5, 10 minutes. I still had time to practice the spell and perfect it.
