The Secrets of Ellewood (Harry Potter)

CHAPTER NINE

Hey, guess what? I have next week off from school, so I have plenty of writing time. Which means I may update more than usual! I am also very happy to say that I have almost 90 chapters planned out that just need writing, so now I should be a lot more put-together. Check out some of my other books and enjoy the chapter:)

"One of the Wizard's most rudimentary skills is levitation or the ability to make objects fly. You all have your feathers? Good. Now, don't forget the nice wrist movement we've been practising: the swish and flick. Everyone?"

"Swish and flick" 

"Good. Oh, and the annunciate: Wingardium Leviosa. Well, off you go then."

I picked up my wand and stared at my feather. This shouldn't be too hard.

"Wingardium Leviosa" Draco, who sat on my right with Luna of my left, smirked. The smirk dropped when his feather continued to sit, unmoving.

I rolled my eyes "No, that's not how you say it, Draco. Professor Flitwick literally just told us and you forgot already? What am I going to do with you." I remembered Hermione telling me about her scolding Ron during their class and I chuckled to myself. Leave it to those two boys to mess up the simplest of tasks.

"Well, why don't you give it a go, then?" he huffed at me and crossed his arms. We had a routine for Charms: we're given an easy spell to practice, Draco does it wrong, I correct him, he huffs and tells me to try, I do it right, and he stares at me like I've grown two more noses. And, as it seems, Hermione and Ron have the exact same routine down.

"Fine. Wingardium Leviosa" I state clearly and watch as my feather slowly drifts upwards.

"Oh! Well done! See here everyone, Miss Rosier has done it! Oh, splendid. Ten points to both of you." I looked at Draco and gave him a smug look. 

Those boys could learn a thing or two.

I walked out of Charms class and spotted Hermione down the hall, running to catch up with her to compare notes. 

"Ron and Draco have the same problem. They just do not listen! What will we ever do with them?" I laugh, Hermione soon joining in.

"I know, right! It's like, the Professor tells us specifically what to do and what to say, and it's like it goes right over their heads!" She shakes her head, smiling "sometimes, Ron can be really dense, but I kind of like him"

"It's leviosa. Not leviosa. She's a nightmare, honestly. It's no wonder she hasn't got any friends." 

The two of us turned towards the source of the voice: Ron. I swivelled back to where Hermione was standing next to me, only to find her gone. I'm going to kill him later.

"RONALD! YOU ARE SO STUPID!" I shouted behind me as I ran off to find the bushy-haired brunette.

I must have burst into every empty classroom in the school, searching for Hermione. Each time, I come out empty-handed. Finally, I make my way to the Girl's lavatory. If there's anywhere in the castle someone would want to go to be alone, it's Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom. No one ever goes in there.

"Hermione? Hermione, it's me, Olivia. Are you in here?" I call out, receiving no answer. I make to leave, but stop in my tracks when I hear a sniffle.

Hermione.

"Hermione? Are you alright? What Ron said isn't true! You aren't a nightmare, and you do have friends. I'm your friend. Luna would be your friend and so would Sammy and Eliza and Amelia. Ron's just jealous that you're so talented and such an amazing witch. Please come out?"
