Chapter 4 : Classes

Jake woke up at seven thirty in the morning  and had his breakfast in the hall. It consisted of delicious sausages, bacon,eggs and mashed potatoes.Then, Daisy took his arm and led him through the school to a small garden. There, carved in a huge flowering bush was a door.

She took him through it and in front of him in what seemed to be like a greenhouse were millions of different species of plants stood in pretty pots. Professor Green came in and introduced Jake to everyone.

She then started teaching them about night blooms.
'These flowers bloom in the night and one snuff of their powder could take you into a deep sleep.Their powder is made by grinding the stem , adding crushed pieces of its leaves and lightly blowing on them.They are extremely rare and grown only in two countries in the whole world. They were used by red indians, blah blah blah , 'Professor Green had bored all the students to death by her boring lecture on the night bloom.

Aman, Kirsten and Percy were called from along the kids to demonstrate the powdering process.
Percy failed horribly, and ended up going to sleep after accidentally smelling the powder. The class was then dismissed and Percy taken to the clinic.
Ian called Jake over and introduced him to his friends.
'Hi Aman. Hi Lakshmi. Hi John. Hi Matthew. Hi Jennifer,' was all that could be heard from Jakes mouth.
Ian then led him through the garden beneath the school through a hole in a hollow tree trunk.
They were now standing in a doorway. There was a room to the left.
'Come on ' said Ian and he stepped in.
Jake followed. Ms Natalie was sitting on a large stone chair. She was wearing a pointed witches hat and emerald green robes with white sparks flying of her dress every time she moves. The other kids had already arrived and were sitting on their tables.
'Good morning, Jake. I'm sorry to have told you I'm your English teacher. I did teach the language but it has been a long time. I'm your metamorphosis teacher. Please take your seats everyone. Jake, you have joined after four months of the terms start, and might be a bit behind the class. Don't worry , you'll catch up. All you have to do is learn some spells and you'll be ready to go. Everyone, wands out. '
'I do not have a Wand, 'Jake said.
'Oh sorry, I almost forgot. Here, Professor Donald studied you and thought you should have this. '
She handed him a light, brown coloured wooden wand with yellow lights on the handle. A strength  344 for you, Jake. The whole class gasped.
'A 344?' Shouted Jessie.
'That's even a point higher then Daisy,how could......'
'There,there, miss black. We can't argue about the headmaster's decision. Come on now, time for some magic. '
She raised her Wand and pointed it at a small prism kept on her table. 'Expellomarcimus!' she muttered, and it turned into a toad.
'Come on now students, try it on the tissue box kept on your own tables. And now watch. '
She pointed her Wand at the toad and shouted ' Prescriptovimus'!. The toad started to wobble and shake and in a flash of blue light it turned back into a prism.
