Chapter 5: A Lesson From The Headmistress

Hours later, and everyone is now in the Great Hall. Lesley finally finished her Herbology class with Professor Kadita so she went to the Gryffindor table and sat beside Granger. Granger went first in the table before her after he finished the History of Magic class with Professor Pharsa. Lesley put her bag beside her and  eat her lunch, which are ribs and a mushroom soup,  with her bestfriend.

"So Les, how's the Herbology Class?" Granger asked.

"Oh it's fine. Really." Les said. "Our lesson is about the Mandrakes or also known as Madragora. Professor Kadita taught us how to transform Mandrake from old pot into the new pot." she added.

"So how's that?" He still asked as he took a bite of his bacon.

"The roots were screaming and it's horrible to our ears. That's why we wore ear muffs for that." She said as she ate a slice of ribs. Lesley looked at the Slytherin table and she notice Gusion didn't stare at her anymore. He was talking to Hanabi and Ling while Claude was eating his food. Lesley turned her head. "Glad that Paxley guy didn't stare at me right now. Finch and Bullet were my Slytherin classmates in the Herbology class."

Suddenly a student from a Ravenclaw went to Granger and Lesley. In her hands she is holding a book. "Hey Lesley!" she said. "Oh hey Lunox. Why are you here?" Lesley asked as Lunox show her Herbology book she held. Lesley forgot it after the class is over.

"You forgot your Herbology book." she said as she gave it to her. Lesley and her were classmates in that class.

"Oh yeah. Thank you." Lesley smiled as she took a book from Lunox's hands and she put it on her bag.

"I have to eat now and later, I'm going to the Divination Class." Lunox said then Granger and Lesley looked at each other. "Lunox, Divination Class has a same time as the Herbology Class." Granger said. "It's impossible to attend two classes at once."

"Oh don't be silly Granger." she giggled as she gestured Lesley a goodbye and she went to the Ravenclaw table. Guinevere however, having fun with Kagura and other Ravenclaw students while Lunox is alone in her sit with Selena, who is in 4th year. Unlike Lunox, they didn't know Guinevere has a fixed marriage with Gusion. Lesley noticed that Lunox is sometimes bit weird even in the Great Hall.

"Granger, I know she's lovable to us but sometimes I noticed that she's been weird. Did you noticed it too?" she asked to him then Granger nods. "Yeah I noticed it too and she's the only witch who had two different color eyes." "Wait. I have to go to the washroom" Lesley stood up and she walk away. Gusion noticed her walking through the door as Hanabi saw him.

"Still bothered with that Mudblood?" she asked.

"Nope. I know what is right." He said but he was still broken inside as he looked at Granger, who was still eating.

While Lesley used the washroom after, somebody ran toward her. "Big sis!" He said. "Harley! You scared me!" She said with a surprised toned.

"Sorry Sis. I just heard from you and Granger that Paxley called you.." He didn't want to mention it because he knew the meaning. "the 'M' word. Is that true?"

"Yes it's true." Lesley said as she was still offended, recalling for that. "But I'm okay right now. I just need to stay strong. I don't want to be bothered again because of Paxley."

Harley hugged her. Even though she's a Muggle-born, he loves his big sister and he doesn't care with her blood status. What's important is she is still there for him. The Vance siblings went back to the Great Hall. Harley doesn't want Gusion Paxley to call her Mudblood again.

Minutes later, Lesley and the other Year 5 students including Guinevere, who sat behind her, were in the Transfiguration class. She feels lucky since Gusion was not in that class but his fiance was. Her bestfriend Granger went to Astronomy Class but she has Gryffindor classmate, which is Hayabusa Shadow. Everyone almost fell asleep in their tables waiting for Professor Alice. Suddenly a cat walked in and stood in front of them.

"Why is there a cat in front?" Hayabusa asked, pointing his wand in it. "That's not a cat." Lunox said, who appeared unexpectedly in the table and sat beside Lesley who was shook. Hayabusa, along with Lesley wondered how she came there quickly. Lunox looked at the cat as it meows. "It's our teacher." She said then the cat transformed into Professor Alice. She looked decent to her students, holding her wand.

"Hello Students" she said. "Please settle down and get your Transfigurations book. We will now start our discussion. Turn your books into page 20."

Everyone got their books and turned into page 20. Alice went to her table and grabbed her wand. "In this Transfiguration Lesson, we will learn to transform non living things into a live insect." Alice took a piece of paper and lay it to her hand. We will turned this paper into a monarch butterfly." She pointed her wand into a paper and she dictated the spell. The paper turned into a  monarch butterfly as everyone appreciate it. Alice let the butterfly flew over the classroom then she looked at her students.

Guinevere raised her hand then Alice called her "Yes Ms. Baroque?" she asked. "Is it possible these butterflies will have different wing colors when they transform?" Guinevere asked. "Well of course Ms. Baroque." Alice replied. "As you did it right. Okay class it's your turn to do it and put it in this big container." Alice summoned big containers with 5 papers to transform into monarch butterflies. "You may start now."

Everyone focused on transforming paper into a butterfly, yet some of it flew over. A Slytherin girl Karrie Star struggled because her butterfly flew as she transformed it. Guinevere, on the other hand, finally finished her butterfly transfiguration, she raised her hand. "Professor Alice, I finally finished the transfiguration." she said then she went to the teacher's table and gave the container to Alice with five asserted colored monarch butterflies. Alice nods. "Great job Ms. Baroque. 5 points for Ravenclaw."

Guinevere smiled maliciously and returned to her table. She also wants to give those 5 butterflies to Gusion as her engagement gift to him. Lesley however, was still working on her butterflies. She completed three so she needs two more.

As everyone was finished including Lesley, Lunox transformed one butterfly but it flew over. Lunox got up to her table and chasing it. "Come here little butterfly!" She chased the butterfly table by table, while everyone held their containers tight, don't want to open by accident. Alice saw her. "Ms. Harmony be careful or you get risked" Then the butterfly lay upon Guinevere's bow. Lunox went closer to Guinevere and grabbed her bow, but she missed the butterfly and it flew over.

Guinevere saw Lunox holding her bow and swiped away her hand. "Take your filthy hands away to my bow!" She said in angry toned. "Oh I'm sorry." She apologized and grabbed her wand and pointed it to her flying butterfly.

"Accio Butterfly!"

The butterfly went to Lunox then she put it to her container. Alice saw everyone is already done. "Ok class, you all did great. But you have to keep practicing. Please read about Bluebell flames lesson in your book. You can proceed now to your next class." Alice dictated.

Everyone left in the classroom except Lesley and Lunox. Lesley saw Lunox feeling down while packing her things. "Hey" she gestured her. "Forget what happened a while ago. Ok?" Lunox smiled then they gestured Alice a goodbye and walk down trough the stairs. "I really don't like Guinevere so much. She's thinks she's the greatest and many loves her due to her fake kindness." Lunox said.

"As you can say that yeah." Lesley said. "I have to go to another class and I'm going to the library for my homework aft-" Lesley interrupted as she saw Lunox disappeared. "Lunox? Well that's weird." she walk down trough the stairs, seeing Gusion and his friends laughing at each other in the corner. She ignores it then someone went closed to her.

"Lesley the strongest witch in Hogwarts!"

"Granger! Bloody Hell!"

"Why I said the fact!" Granger smiled with a silly movement.

Lesley frowned and slapped Granger's shoulder with her bag she handle. Granger holds his shoulder. "Ouch sorry. I'm just joking." "We need to finish our first day of class. Let's go" They walked to the class they were attending to.

"So how's the astronomy class?" Lesley asked then Granger whistling didn't pay attention. "HEY!" She slapped it again and Granger payed attention to her. "Eh? Umm. It's good really." He answered.

Lesley sighed and they continue walking.
