Alyss Granger: First Year

Charms and Boyfriends

CHAPTER 10

All too soon we were at Charms.

“I am Professor Huchman. I will not allow misbehaving and people who do not do their homework. I urge extreme responsibility and for those who can achieve my high standards I can be a wonderful teacher. I am kind to all who try. If you are very bad at Charms but try I will be happy with you. If you are brilliant but lack motive I will make sure you have motive.” She said sharply. “I believe this class is Gryffindor and Slytherin? I understand you are enemies as I was a Slytherin in my time. But I do not favor you. Unlike your Head. If you lag off then I will not hesitate to punish you.

“Many may think Charms is soft and unworthy but many of the most powerful and useful spells are Charms and I will warrant respect for Charms or you will suffer my annoyance. And believe me you do not want me to be annoyed with you. I do not give many tests but harshly grade homework and class work. I grade them as I will grade your OWLs.”

The rest of the lesson was a boring lecture. Soon class was over and we walked back to the common room.

“I can’t believe we have homework! Alyss! You don’t have to practice switching spells how?” Teddy asked envious.

“Because I was good at it.” I said calmly.

We walked in the portrait hole.

“Alyss over here!” Matt called from a table. There was a spot next to him.

“See you guys later.” I said and headed to him. Then I felt awkward. “Hey.”

“Hey. Er. How d’you do a switching spell?” He said anxiously.

“Focus really hard on the object you want it to turn into then say the indication.” I said swiftly.

“You know, you are brilliant.” He said and I beamed.

Soon there were quills scratching and I finished my essay first it was quite simple. If people could stop asking me!

“What was a use of Expelliarmus?” Someone asked.

“In the final duel. Harry used it against Voldemort.” I said sighing and not looking up from my now 8 inch essay.

“Done.” I said after my 10th inch.

“How did you get it that long? I barely have 7 inches!” Matt said.

“Did you write about the DA?” I said smoothly.

“Blimey no!” he said shocked.

“I need to help Teddy and Tom.” I said starting to rise.

“Wait! Alyss, I need to tell you something!” He said like it was very important.

“What?” I said sitting back down.

“Can you hang with me more?” He said.

“’Course I can.” I smiled at him. Then looked at the clock. “I’ll sit with you at dinner. It’s in ten minutes.”

Teddy PoV

“Teddy, I need to talk to you.” Tom said anxiously.
“Yeah what?” I said and he pulled me over.

“I like Alyss.” He said.

“No! I like her!” I gasped.

“I said it first so once she’s done with Matt she’s mine!” He snarled.

“Never!” I snapped.

“Fine. Neither of us tell her, we’ll see which one she picks!” Tom snapped and I nodded.
