William at Hogwarts

Chapter 6

The days passed and I found I was amazing at charms and to my surprise Good at potions. I'm poop at Transfiguration stuff (because everything kept turning into trunks) and in herbolagy things are just hopeless. I still haven't told Prof sprout about what I can do.

In herbolagy the day after I met Alyssa we learnt about devil's snare and the one I was meant to be pruning grew to fast and tried to strangle me. Cat girl saved me by accident when she fell over and squished the plant. She took one of her regular trips to the hospital wing because she had cut all over her from the pot.

Professor Dumbledore kept looking at me a weirdly like he was trying to work out something about me, but he was giving willow the same look so I guess it's nothing to worry about.

As an aside I must say the food at Hogwarts is fantastic. if I don't watch out I'll get fat. Sadly I'm not one of those people who's a bottomless pit. Also all the senior students always had butter beers in the common room but they hadn't told me where from....... yet. I was going to get it out of them!!!!

The hufflepuff common room was always always noisy but this morning it was particularly noisy because all my fellow firstys were crowed round a note that had been stuck up. I had to battle my way through the mob to get a closer look at the note.

Flying lesson will begin this week thursday for slytherin and Griffindor and next week tuesday for Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw.

"Hey willy you looking forward to flying lessons?"

I turned around and death stared James "don't call me willy!!! but yes I am looking forward to flying do you think it will be anything like driving a car or completely different?"

"I've never driven a car or rode a broom stick so how would I know" James gave me a questioning look "you've driven a car???"

"Well yeah I had ago when I was in Australia and we were driving to Sydney to visit my friend Lucy"

Tuesday just couldn't come quick enough for any of us. all the copy's of quiditch through the ages were already borrowed from the library and most of us hufflepuffs had no idea what to do. From what everyone else said you pull up to go up and push down to go down, but still I had no idea.

Lessons continued as normal and Quirrels lesson became boring. The class room smell horrible and he really didn't teach us much. He always stuttered but I just felt that there was something beneath that shyness and the turban.

The teachers seemed to be piling more and more homework on and I finally met Grey (cat girl) properly in charms because she wan't sleeping or in the hospital wing for once. Flitwick was trying to teach us a levitating spell and believe me it was trying. We had been working on the movement and for a few lesson but today was the first time we had attempted the spell. Everyone was having difficulties I turned my first feather into a bloody trunk and Grey got so frustrated she started acting like a cat and growled and meowed at her feather. Mandy found this completely normal for grey but I found it a bit unusual.

Flitwick kept talking a about a girl that morning who had performed the spell perfectly. We had also heard that someone had set their feather alight, I was glad no one in my class had managed that yet.

As I thought about this I lost concentration and accidentally grew heaps of mushroom on my desk. Grey looked at me and then the mushrooms and then went back to growling at her feather. Mandy who was on my other side laughs and said "again", I looked back at y desk and watched suddenly as the mushrooms turned red and then exploded. They should make a game where there's exploding mushrooms which kill zombies.
