Harry Potter - A Fan Fiction Story

Chapter 8: Haunting Doubts

Hermione was still hugging Laura when they heard owls bustling in with mails. Hermione's owl Ciedo sat before her. Hermione unfolded the mail from Ciedo legs and gave him a piece of beacon.

"There you go." Hermione patted at Ciedo head before it flew back.

"My mom and dad are going to build a hospital." Hermione told her friends with a big smile on her face.

"Your parents are civil engineers?" Harry asked her.

"No, they are dentists." Hermione rolled the paper and shoved it inside her robe.

"What you are talking about? What are those?" Ron asked.

"Those are muggle jobs." Laura answered him.

"I know, I know. My dad works in muggles' department in Ministry of Magic. He used to tell us how muggles live. They invented a lot of things that magically works even in the muggle world." Ron said.

"There is nothing that magically works in our world. Everything is science." Hermione twisted her lips at Ron.

They left for their next class. Professor Flitwick who was a short man with large spectacles welcomed students with a smile to charms class.

"I can't control my mouth, you can't control your ego. So, it'll be better if I sit somewhere else." Hermione sat at the top bench.

"I am not ready to sit with an exploding girl." Ron winked at Harry and went to sit near Hermione.

Laura turned to see her twin Harry grinning at her.

"I can give you company, Laura." Harry followed Laura to her desk.

Professor gave a feather to the students and asked them to lift it in the air using their wand. Everyone moved their wands saying "Wingardium Leviosa".

"It is Wingardium Leviosa not Winggggaardium Leviiiiooosssaa." Hermione corrected Ron.

"Is it? If you can spell it, you would have already lifted your feather up. But, I don't see your feather in the air yet." Ron mocked her.

Hermione lifted up her feather just by tapping it and murmuring, "Wingardium Leviosa".

The feather went higher and higher. All the students were wowed and Professor gave ten points to Gryffindor. All of a sudden, a noise came from Laura and Harry's desk.

Everyone expected that Laura's feather was burning. Instead they saw that Harry's feather was burning. Harry rolled his eyes at Laura who was laughing at him.

"Don't laugh at me. There is a feather right in front of you, which is allocated for you. Instead of trying yours, you tried with mine and burnt it." Harry complained.

"That's not my problem. Go and collect one more feather lazy fellow. Now, I'll try with mine." Laura turned and tapped the feather whispering the spell carefully.

The feather flew in the air. She directed it over Harry's head and hissed something that made the feather to change into a small stone. Harry tried to move but it was too late. The stone fell on his head.

"Ouch. Poor boy." Laura laughed at Harry who was rubbing his head.

The feather that was turned into a stone by Laura fell on floor and exploded. Professor Flitwick was shocked. The students made noise talking about the explosion.

"Enough. Tomorrow you need to submit assignments on Wingardium Leviosa spell. That should include what are the advantages of the spell. The class is dismissed now." Professor left the class.
