"Hurry up, guys! We're gonna be late for class!" Becca shouted to the two girls behind them. They knew they were at least the only first years late for class. The footsteps were starting to echo around the walls. Claire kept trying to suggest a map.
"No!" Becca replied simply.
"I agree with Becca. My parents told me to never hang around or listen to outlaws!" Skylar said with her nose in the air. Claire just rolled her eyes and they just continued running. Almost twenty minuets later, they arrived at Professor Flitwick's Charms classroom. They stepped in and took their seats. As they got their supplies out, Flitwick got up and scowled at them.
"Why are you three late?!" He squeaked.
"We....got lost...." Becca panted slightly.
"I did suggest a map, but nooooo!"
"All right, all right! I'll let you get off the hook just this one time! Class! We are going to be doing a special charm that is one of my favorites and is one of the most basic charms. Wingardium Leviosa!" The feather in front of Flitwick started bobbing slowly up into the air. Students stared in awe sat the magic in front of them.
"We'll, don't just sit there! Start practicing the charm yourself! And remember! It's LeviOsa not LeviosA! Work-!" There was an explosion that interred Professor Flitwick. All heads turned to Shannon Finnigan's way. Her whole face was covered in soot. Her hair was blown away from her face and some parts were coated in ash.
"Oh, dear. Ms.Finnigan, you are pretty much 100% exactly like your father." Flitwick said miserably. Shannon's feather had pieces started to come off its charred base. Claire kept shouting the incantation, but her wand waving was not cutting it.
"Claire. You're not saying right. And your wand waving is going to hurt someone. Remember what Flitwick said? Do that! Remember, the wand waving technique is swish and flick!" Skylar explained slowly so Claire would understand. She also sounded sort of annoyed. Claire used the explanation and her feather started moving into the air.
"Well done, Ms.Joyce! First one to get it right in my first class! You get no homework for two days!" Claire smiled brightly while Skylar on the other hand was scowling and pouting. The next class was Potions. The teacher later arrived after the students.
"Hello, class! I'm your professor, Professor Slughorn. No, I did not teach Mr.Harry Potter. That was my father. Anyway, let's get started shall we?"

"Well, Shannon blew up her potion again. Otherwise, it was a nice class!" Becca said. They were all headed to the Great Hall for lunch. As the girls were discussing about chocolate frog cards and trading the cards, the boys were doing something way different.
"Wait! You like the bug girl?!" Jack G. asked while laughing.
"Uh, yeah....please don't tell!" Matt said a little embarrassed.
"I thought you liked that one girl whom you introduced us to?"
"Becca? What? No! I don't like her THAT way...I met her close to the Leaky Cauldron after I tripped over her, but-"
"'The Leaky Cauldron'?! What was she doing near a pub?!" Jack G. asked.
"Well, I kinda like that girl with the chestnut kinda hair. She's kinda cute....' Jack J. said." What was her name again? I want to try something. Oh, and Jack? Can you hand me that cauldron cake?" Jack G. handed him the cake and Jack J. unwrapped it.
"Her name is Claire. What are you going to do?" Nash asked.
"HEY, CLAIRE!!" Jack J. shouted. Claire turned around to find a cake flying at her face full speed. It smashed all over her face. Skylar was under the table hiding from the flying food. Becca got up and started wiping the cake off Claire's face. And then she started eating it.
"You're a swine, Becca."
"Awww, thank you!" Skylar sat back up at the table, pointed at Claire, and started laughing.
"They hit you dead on!! You look ridicul-ARRRRGHH!" Claire had chucked a cauldron cake plus a pumpkin pasty at Skylar's face.
"That. Is. It!!! The final straw has been drawn!!! YOU'VE ANGERED THE BEAST!!" Becca then got at the bottom of the table and listened to the food fight breaking out.
