Chapter 3 Lessons

I woke up to a strange empty room it took me a while to remember all that had happened the night before. I soon felt giddy and full of energy, it was finally happening I was going to go to Hogwarts I was going to learn magic. I looked around the room again, last night I found a pillow and some blankets in the closet and made myself a bed in the corner while making sure that the cloak was still covering me. From the light coming through the window I would guess that it was about noon long past the time I was suppose to be up. I turned to the door as it opened letting in a girl with long curly hair. She had brown eyes and was of average weight and height. The girl looked around as thought she was trying to find something she lost shook her head and was about to turn to leave.
“Hello.” I whispered pulling the cloak down as I realized she was looking for me.
“Hey, quick cover up I don’t want you to get seen.” She said jumping in surprise, “You slept in late it’s almost 2:30. You can eat and then we’ll hit the books ok?”
“That sounds great, I’m starved.” I whispered as I slipped the cloak back on. “One question how am I going to get people to know I’m there if no one can see me.”
Hermione shrugged and said, “We’ll figure it out.”
We went downstairs the kitchen was empty, the plates, and utensils were cleaning themselves from lunch in the sink. In a cupboard and the kitchen table still has leftovers from lunch. There’s a table in the middle of the room with eight chairs aground it. Some cabinets, shelves, and draws were on the far wall with a sink by a window. Hermione began to look around for some leftovers from lunch and put then into what seemed to be a heated cupboard. After a few minutes the foods was steaming hot and smelled delicious. This would be my first full meal in years I knew that I would have to eat slowly to make sure I didn’t get sick.
“Thanks ‘Mione. Is it ok if I call you that?” I asked taking the plate and began to ear. I have a habit of shortening people’s names or giving them a nickname. I know that some people don’t like that so I make sure to ask every time better have friends then enemies. Especially when I am in a new world with no knowledge of what I’m suppose to do or be.
“No it’s fine everyone calls me that. Done?” she asked as I pushed the plate still half full of food away from me. I knew that for once in my life there would be later if I wanted it.
“Yep.”
We went back upstairs and Hermione pulled out a big book that looked well used. There were note cards sticking out of it at odd angels that had some notes jotted down on them. It seemed like the seam was taped a few time to make sure that the cover stayed on I laughed some as she put it on the desk.
“This is Charms one of my favorite subjects. How about you take the cloak off it will be easier to teach you when I can actually see who I am talking to. Ginny is keeping watch but have it near by just incase you need to cover up quickly.”
I pulled off the cloak and wiped my forehead it was so hot under there and a bit stuffy. “So let’s start from the front and work our way through. Is there any way to open the windows? I’m burning up!”
Hermione went to the window letting a warm breeze in. Then we opened the book and began. Unfortunately I could actually to the spell since magic was illegal outside of school and the ministry would be able to track Hermione’s wand. However I could learn the pronunciation of each spell, the proper hand movements, and the theory behind everything. It was all rather fascinating and I began to pick it up fast. Before we knew it, it was time for dinner and we were almost ¼ the way through the book.
“Wow you do learn fast at this rate you will be at our level in no time. To tell you the truth I’m a bit jealous.”
“Sorry.” I said looking a bit guilty I knew I wasn’t my fault but I still felt bad for some reason. I really wanted Hermione to like me, Harry was right she was a beautiful amazing girl that I wanted to get to know better. Jealousy could ruin a relationship before it even got started I didn’t want that to happen to this friendship.
“It’s not your fault lets stop for a while and go and eat. Ok.”
“Sure. I’ll just wait up here until dinner is done then I’ll see and maybe we could all go outside and so something.”
“Ok”
After a nice meal we all went out in the yard with some ice cream. Ginny was sitting on the steps leaning against the railing. Harry was beside her unconsciously playing with her hair. Ron was watching him suspiciously trying to figure out if he had to get Harry away from his sister. The twins were on to the side whispering about who knows what. I slid took the ice cream that Hermione held out to me and slid to the step beside Ginny leaning against Harry’s legs. He jumped looking down to see who it was before remembering that I was there. Hermione sat down next to Ron. For a while no one talked too focused on their ice creams. It was charmed to task like your favorite flavor mine was mint chocolate chip. Harry spoke first asking me about my studying and the conversation want from there. I slowly learned about the others and made a mental note to watch out for Fred and George after the make Ron’s hair flash green and silver for the rest of the night.
The week went on and my friendship with all of them grew as well as my knowledge of the wizarding world. Hermione and I got through the first year of charms and were working on potions now. This was one class that I could actually work in we would spend hours cutting, grinding and mixing disgusting looking things together to make the most fascinating things.
One afternoon we were taking a break and decided to see what the others were up to. We met up with Ron, Harry, and Ginny in the yard trying to get rid of what looked like a potato with legs and arms. Hermione told me they were Gnomes studied creatures that ruined gardens by pulling up the roots of plants. They all looked really funny, spinning around throwing this animal over the fence then seeing it stagger off in many directions. I wanted to help out this would be one the first useful thing I would be able to do since I came. It was odd not having a list of chores to get done in a day and it was nice to be doing work again.
Hermione greets them with a whisper. “Harriet is here with me.”
I clear my throat softly to signal my presents and where about.
I walked up to Ron leaning over and said “So why are you throwing these animals out of the garden? Can I help in any way?”
Ron jumps and spins around almost tripping over my foot. He grabs to hold me steady and to keep his balance. I give a little yelp when backed up after he regained his balance. He shows me how to de-gnome the garden and we all work for a few more minutes until we are tired and bored.
“Why don’t we all go for a walk in the woods we can go to the lake?” Harry suggested and added softly “Harriet can take off the clock there to.”
“Great idea, Harry,” Ginny chimed in, “I’ll go tell mom where we’re going. It’s getting close to lunch and we could have a picnic. We can pack our own food to make sure that Harriet has some.”
We all went inside to look for Mrs. Wesley who in the living room doing some tidying up and house chores.
“Mum can we go down to the lake and have a picnic for lunch?” asked Ron.
“Sure sweetie, I pack you some food.”
“You look busy mum let us pack it. We know what we want anyway,” Ginny quickly replied. After some convincing Mrs. Wesley gave a reluctant nod and went back to her work. While Ginny and Harry was in the kitchen packing a lunch the rest of us go to get on a bathing suit. Hermione and I looked in Ginny’s draws for a bathing suit; she was the closest to my size since she was small and rather skinny. I never owned a bathing suit but I knew how to swim. You quickly learned how after being thrown into a lake enough times by Miss. Corellas in hopes that you will drown.
“’Mione which one should I wear? I don’t want to take Ginny’s favorite one of anything.” I asked.
She pulled out an all dark pastel blue bikini and threw it to me. “Ginny always wears here green one it says it draws out her eyes.” We both laughed as we went to the front yard to meet the others.
