Chapter 9 - Ending the First Day on a Good Note (1/2)

The students left class and Hermione and Kristine were excitedly talking.

”I know the spell since I read the book, but I can't believe just how fascinating magic is!” Hermione exclaimed.

”I know! It's a whole new world for me. I'm glad that we don't need to go through the boring Muggle educational system anymore,” Kristine said excitedly.

”Yeah, the Muggle system is alright, but after a while, it gets too repetitive. Here, I feel like I'm taking in completely new things everyday,” Hermione said.

'Damn, they already found the educational system boring. Well, I'm glad they didn't go to high school,' Chris thought.

”Well, that first transfiguration class was nice. What do we have next again?” He asked.

”Charms with Flitwick,” Kristine answered.

”He's the head of Ravenclaw. I hope he gives us some special treatment,” Chris said.

They arrived at Flitwick's class. They were with the Gryffindor and he saw Harry, Ron, and the new girl Se-yeon. Unlike the movie where Ron and Harry both hated Hermione for the first couple weeks, they immediately hit it off with Se-yeon and they both were happily talking to her.

'Seeing this actually makes me feel kinda bad for Hermione,' Chris thought. While Hermione's ”know-it-all” side did not emerge due to Chris and Kristine being equally as smart as her, he didn't really mind it when he first saw her in the movies and in the books which he argued a lot with his past friends over as a lot of them really disliked Hermione.

'Well it doesn't matter. She doesn't have to go through the BS the other two put her,' Chris thought as Flitwick started the lesson.

”Hello class, my name is Professor Flitwick and I will be your Charms teacher. Charms are a very useful tool for dueling and work as well. You can use charms like... Flipendo!” Professor Flitwick chanted. A box that was on the ground was pushed across the room. ”This is the Knockback Jinx, a spell you will learn this year. This can be used for both dueling and for manual work. All in all, you will not regret learning Charms,”

”That was a good spell wasn't it?” Hermione asked Chris.

”Yeah it's nice and quick,” Chris said.

”Well that's it for introductions. For today, we'll learn an extremely useful charm, the Mending Charm also known as Reparo,” Professor Flitwick said. He then lectured them about the Mending Charm for the next 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, he finally started the practicing.

”Alright students, now will be the time to practice the Mending Charm. Soon in front of you, I'll put down a broken block of wood. I'll demonstrate the charm and you'll practice for the rest of the lesson,”
