Butterflies (Harry Potter x reader)

Year 1: Spells and Trolls

(Just a side note, I know Charms class is with Gryffindors and Slytherins, but since Y/n is a Hufflepuff, with the way I'm planning out the story, she's going to have to be with the Gryffindors. Also I know in the books, these classes are spread out between days, but in the movie it never indicates that really, and this is more off of the movies.)

The next few weeks was like the first day. Next was Charms, Caroline didn't have that class though, so she and I had to be separated.

I made it to Charms class and sat at my own desk as the other classes.

"One of a wizard's most rudimentary skills is levitation, or the ability to make objects fly. Uh, do you have your feathers? Good. Now, uh, don't forget the nice wrist movement we've been practising. Hmm? The swish and flick. Everyone." Professor Flitwick spoke.

"The swish and flick," We all chorused.

"Good. Oh and enunciate. Wingardium Leviosa. Off you go then."

We were all paired up. (I have no idea who Dean was paired up with so I'm just going to have Y/n be with him) I was paired with Dean, he came over to sit with me at our 2-seated desk.

I looked around the classroom to see who I knew and who they were paired with. Harry was with who I learned was Seamus Finnigan, and Ron with Hermione.

We all echoed and uttered the name "Wingardium Leviosa," with a swish and flick as best as possible, but none of us seemed to be getting it.

Suddenly I heard from a couple tables behind to the right of me, Hermione start to speak.

"Stop stop stop! You're going to take someone's eye out. And besides, you're saying it WRONG. It's LeviOsa. Not LeviosAAA" She lectured.

"You do it then if you're so clever. Go on, go on!" Ron challenged from next to her.

"WinGARdium Leviosa" She spoke, and the feather in front of her began to rise, aligned with the movement of her wand. 

I gaped at this. She really is clever. And quite brilliant if you ask me.

"Oh, well done! See here, everyone, Miss Granger's done it! Oh, splendid!" Professor Flitwick exclaimed.

I looked back to her. She wore a proud smirk. Ron on the other hand, picked up his books and put them in a pile in front of him, and pouted.

I try the spell again, but no luck.

"Hey, don't feel bad, it's not the easiest, Hermione's just smarter than all of us," I heard Dean say on my left.

I gave him a smile "Thanks"

Next thing I know I hear an explosion I turn to my right to see Seamus next to Harry with a charred face and no feather.

"Whooaaa! Oh." Flitwick expressed.

"I think we're going to need another feather over here, Professor," Harry said, mouth still wide open.

A little later after still not getting it right, I asked Hermione.

"Hermione!"

She sharply looked up.

"Think you could help me? I'm struggling,"

She lit up. And with a proud but happy smile, she help demonstrate.

She helped with the swish and flick and pronunciation, but I still didn't get it. It was an improvement though.

After class I trailed a little behind Hermione, when we were all walking across the courtyard.

I suddenly heard... Ron. I looked over to him next to Harry.
