I spent the rest of the day trying to remember what had happened last night, but no matter how hard I tried to remember I couldn't, "Sam!" professor Hinkle, the charms teacher, shouted, "Pay attention to the lesson, the year has only just begun and you are already letting your mind wander." she folded her arms.

Locke lightly nudged my arm and showed me which page of the textbook we were on. I quickly flipped to page thirteen, "Sorry mam." I apologise quickly. I sat through the class learning how to properly hold a wand, the way to wave the wand, and finally how important it is to say the spells right.

"You'd think that casting a spell would be easy the way the adults do it." I say to Locke as we walk through the halls of the school.

"I find it easier to do it like this." He waves his hand and says the spell we learned today out loud, the effect is near perfect, "I was practicing hand magic at home before I came here." He smiles sheepishly, "It also helps to learn latin because most spells are just latin words and phrases slightly changed."

"You are so obsessed." I laugh, "are you sure picking Wampus was right for you? I would say you should have picked Horned Serpent."

"Hey I can kick butt in a fight!" He laughs, "I just need to be able to know how to fight."

We were stopped in our tracks at the sight of Lace stepping in front of us out of nowhere, "Hey lil bro." She smiles, "How are you enjoying the school?"

"It's great Lace." Locke seemed mildly aggravated, "Now if you'll excuse me Sam and I are late."

"What are you talking about? We were gonna go back to the common room and relax." what is going on with him? I get that siblings can be a bit annoying but that's not a good reason to be mean.

Lace's eyes widened, "Well then I will leave you to that. I have a free period anyway." She tugs her leather jacket and turns around walking briskly away.

I turn to Locke and give him a confused look, "What was that about?"
He rolled his eyes and exhaled, "She is just really really nosey that's all." he smiles, "Hey I'm thirsty I am gonna go get some water but I will meet you back in the common room okay?" He turns and runs the other direction.

"Well okay then." I say to no one, "I am probably just getting annoying. c'est la vie" I don't know why but saying c'est la vie always made me feel better. Guess that's how Simba felt in the Lion King with hakuna matata.

When I see Locke again I am sitting in the common room reading some no-mag book about a building full of unique kids. He walks in looking much more energetic than before and in a better mood, "There you are." He looks at me with a smile, "what were you doing while I was gone? Did you miss me?" he looked kinda like a puppy or some other small animal I couldn't place my finger on it.

"I just sat here and read a boring book." I sigh, "Why did you run off without me?"

He looks at me innocently, "I just needed to talk to a teacher."

"Really because you told me you were going to get some water." I fold my arms.

Locke looks down looking sad, "Okay I'm sorry. I just had something I needed to do. I can't tell anyone about it." He looks up and makes direct eye contact with me, red eyes meeting blue, "I am your friend i prom-" I didn't hear the rest as I passed out and fainted

Short chapter I know I am still trying to get back in the groove of this. Be sure to vote and comment what you thought so I know that it is still being read.
