9 Ending the First Day on a Good Note

Transfiguration was over and Hermione and Kristine were excitedly talking while walking to their second class.

"I knew Acus Verto since I read the book, but being able to try it out for myself is still so fascinating!" 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 middle or high school. There's no such thing as new topic there,' Chris thought.

"Well, that 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 Chris noticed Harry and Ron with the new girl Se-yeon. Unlike the movie where Ron and Harry both hated Hermione for the first couple weeks, it looked like 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 annoy Chris or Kristine since they all were very similar with each other, he knew that not only did it bother Harry and Ron in the books and movie, but it also annoyed many of the viewers. Chris even argued with many Potterheads over Hermione due to them not being able to swallow Hermione's personality.

'Well it doesn't matter. She doesn't have to go through the BS the other two put her for the first 2 months of being here,' 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. Most of the class looked amazed. Seeing this made Flitwick smile widely. "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. It is quite the interesting class,"

"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. Although Flitwick made it as fun as he possibly could, Chris was still quite bored as he knew the ins and out of the spell. He did fix hundreds of sunglasses after all.

After 30 minutes, it was finally the practicing section.

"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,"

Professor Flitwick then used a spell to place a broken block of wood for every student.

"Alright look at me very closely. Reparo!" Professor Flitwick chanted. Soon the broken block of wood mended back together making it whole once more.

Everyone clapped.

"Alright students, you have the rest of the class to put this wood back together,"

Kristine, Hermione, and Chris all looked at each other. Chris, especially, was glad that he didn't have to fix any sunglasses this time because if he had to, he would have just put his head down for the class.

"Alright guys, we're going to do this together," Hermione said and the other two nodded. "On the count of 3. 1. 2. 3. Reparo!"

The three of them chanted at the same time and the 3 broken block of woods were all fixed at the same.

Professor Flitwick saw this and was quite excited.

"Wow, Miss Granger, Miss Alder, and Mr. Evergreen. I've seen classes with one or two kids being able to do it individually after some practice, but not three friends at the same time without any practice. I'm sure all of you have worked hard to learn this spell. Ravenclaw will be awarded 15 points. 5 points for each person!" He said while smiling like a child who received a present for Christmas. Surprisingly, when Chris looked over at Ron at the Gryffindor side, Ron was rolling his eyes. "Well since you three have clearly learned how to do the Mending Charm, can I ask you to help your fellow peers to cast the spell?"

The three nodded and for the rest of the class, they helped other Ravenclaw students learn the spell which all the other Ravenclaw students greatly appreciated. Without even Chris realizing, the class was over.

"Wow that was fast," Hermione said.

"Yeah time flies when you're having a lot of fun," Kristine added.

Chris nodded and the three of them went to the dining hall to eat lunch. They ate as fast as they can due to Hermione wanting to go to the library to read books for Defense against the Dark Arts. After a good 40 minutes of reading, the three of them bolted for Defense against the Dark Arts which Chris found to be not as fun as the other classes due to Quirrell always struggling to even talk let alone making the class fun. The same went for History of Magic as Professor Binns' monotone voice almost made Chris sleep. If it wasn't for the fact Chris found the past somewhat interesting, he would've spent money to just buy all the information from the System rather than hear it from a ghost that didn't seem to really care about his students.

After the day was over, the three of them went back to the Ravenclaw Common Room where they finished their homework. Chris decided to take a break from schoolwork and went to the Practice Room for an hour and when he came back, he and the two girls started reading the textbooks. Chris found every piece of information quite interesting and having people like Hermione and Kristine to discuss it with made everything a lot better than just reading it alone.

'If I was with Harry and Ron, I would have never been able to do this. The Sorting Hat was right in giving me Ravenclaw,' Chris thought as he continued to discuss the Gargoyle Strike of 1911 with Hermione and Kristine. Chris and Hermione even got to an argument when they disagreed on whether the strike should've even happened with Chris saying that gargoyles aren't even full sentient beings while Hermione said that even though they can't function as well as a human, they shouldn't be worked to death. In the end, Chris gave up.

'Her Samaritan side is already starting grow it seems,' Chris thought as Hermione was smiling from ear to ear due to her victory.
