Chapter 44 – Charms Class
The first day came quickly, and our first lesson was Charms with Professor Lockhart. He looked just as jovial as ever when we bumped into him at breakfast. He was unbothered by the fact he was replaced entirely by Lucius Malfoy, and he was no longer involved in any way with teaching Dark Arts. Not that it mattered because he couldn't teach us anything in the first place. I thought, maybe charms will be different... at least he wouldn't curse us, blow up our chairs, or- ah, who am I kidding? Of course, he would!
"Nervous?" Quincy chuckled, sitting down beside me after finding our way to the back rows.
"So-so." I shrugged, "At least it isn't transfiguration, and I don't need to worry about being turned into a bat. Or a half-monkey. Or worse."
"I can't argue with that!" She grinned, leaning in, "Wanna make a bet?"
"About what?"
"How long will it be before something goes wrong? I say... 15 minutes!"
"5!"
"Ooooh, you are brave!" She raised an eyebrow, leaning back, "You are on! If I win, you are going to carry my stuff around; these bags got really heavy!"
"Sure, and if I win, you are going to accompany me when going out for a ride on my broom!"
"Eh..."
"Why are you so against it? It's fun to fly around, and it wouldn't be a race! It clears your head to soar through the sky, and we were finally allowed to bring our brooms!"
