Wand Of Magic, Heart of Love
Chapter 1
Chapter One
First day of classes proved to be challenging for Harry Ron and Hermione. Hermione was looking fo
t
t
their last year although Ron and Harry seemed to be under the weather. They plopped down in their common room. \"I am so
not looking forward to this year. \"It\'s going to be so hard!\" complained Ron. \"You say that every year Ron, and every year-
you come out just fine. Honestly, I don\'t know why you complain every year when it\'s always the same.\" retorted Hermione.
Harry looked at Hermione, \"Well he does have a point about this year Hermione- Snapes class seems like it\'s going to be
bloody hard.\" \"He seems challenging, nothing we can\'t handle. At least it\'s easier than trying to get rid of Voldemort.\" \"Easy
for you to say, you have all the brains.\" smiled Ron. \"Good ol\" Hermione, always finding just the silver lining on the big black
cloud.\" \"Oh shush. Anyways guys, I\'m off to bed so I can get up early for transfigurations tomorrow morning with Slytherin.
Sleep tight.\"
************************************************
\"Ok everyone, listen up, today we will be learning how to transform these snails into chairs. This will be a
more difficult task due to the size of the objects. Watch me...\" Professor McGonagle aimed her wand. \"Sessiomey\"
The feather grew in size and shape until a white plush velvet chair with a gold studded frame stood before the class.
\"Now, I want a volunteer to try.\" Her eyes scanned the room and rested on a waving hand that belonged to Neville.
\"Mr. Longbottm, go ahead, give it a try.\" Neville had become very good in transfiguration over the years. He loved
Herbology though, and wanted to be a herbologist in Africa after school.
Hermione noticed Crabbe and Goyle giggling to themselves as they watched Neville. Malfoy was pointing his
wand discreetly toward Neville\'s feather and whispering an incantation. She elbowed Ron who followed her line of vision
to Malfoy. \"What should we do Ron?\" Ron looked around and smiled. He cast wingardium leviosa at an object across
the room and it soared towards Malfoy knocking the wand away from Neville and straight at Goyle just as Malfoy finished
the incantation. A jet of silver smoke engulfed Goyle and a loud cracking of bones could be heard as he transformed into
a huge harry Gorilla, shredding the now tight uniform off of him. Everyone turned and gasped- forgetting Neville\'s perfectly
transfigured cherry colored oak chair- and stared as the gorilla jumped on Crabbe and roared, sending bits of spittle
dripping on his shocked and screaming face. Tearing bits of Crabbe\'s cloak off in his hands, the Gorilla jumped onto the
desk and swiveled his head around daring anyone to move, grunting. Harry caught Hermione\'s eye and tilted his head. And
looked to a spot. Hermione looked, the spot was empty. Confused, she looked back to Harry. Harry tilted his head to the
space again and nodded to Hermione. Understanding, Hermione nodded her head slowly and looked back at the Gorilla.
Harry then lept to the space. And fired a stupefy spell at him. The spell was only strong enough to knock the massive
animal an inch backwards. Angered, the gorilla launched himself at Harry, knocking him on his back with giant teeth in his face.
Hermione grabbed her wand and aimed. \"Finite Incantatum!\" With a roar the Gorilla shrank and collapsed leaving Goyle passed
out on top of Harry- naked. Too shocked to move, the class just stared for a second until Harry said, \"Get him off me!\" Ron
and Draco both went a dragged Goyle off of him, Rom to save Harry, and Draco to get his friend off their enemy
and spare some dignity. With an incantation, the cloths were repaired and placed back on Goyle. Then McGonagal burst out-
\"WHO DID THIS?!\" Her face was bright red. No one dared to answer. \"EXPLAIN YOURSELVES!!!\" Hermione spoke first.
\"Well, you see, we noticed Malfoy try to botch Neville\'s work and Ron intercepted it but it was just redirected and hit Goyle
instead-.\" \"ENOUGH!! I think I know the rest! 50 points from Slytherin Mr. Malfoy and detention for a week for purposelputtputting all in this room in great danger. 5 points from Gryfindor for not informing me and taking matters into you own hands.
And 10 points each to Harry and Hermione for their quick thinking. Malfoy- you may take your friend to the hospital wing and
be here at 8 o\'clock sharp for your detention.\" \"But Professor, I didn\'t mean for the spell to hit him! It was supposed to be the
feather that changed and it was supposed to attack Neville instead!\" Crabbe exclaimed. Malfoy rolled his eyes and slapped his
forehead. Crabbe looked on confused. \"You may join your friend in detention tonight also. I think your other friend has had
enough punishment for this. Class dissmissed.\" The class filed out of the room. Ron turned to Hermione,
\"I thought he couldn\'t be any dumber.\"
