Chapter 4: Classes
-Bex p.o.v.-

I followed Lily as she pulled me off to Transfiguration. I had to deal with Transfiguration first thing in the morning? Yeah that's not going to work well, I'll probably get my first detention.

Minnie made us all stand on the sides of the class room and wait until everyone arrived before giving us out assigned seats.

"Black, Dumbledore, Evans, Johnson, Lupin, McKinnon, Potter, Quincy, Snape, Pettigrew, Prewett, Yaxley," she went on calling people's names and placing them in certain spots.

I ended up sitting next to Sirius. The course started and she began explaining some rules. Something about being careful, another thing about paying attention when doing magic, she mentioned something about dangerous, another something to do with animagus. She went on talking and talking.

I zoned out about two minutes into her speech and just sat there playing with a rubber band that I had around my wrist. Twisting the band it ended up flying out of my hand and going over to my left.

I glanced over and saw Sirius holding his eye in pain. Slapping a hand over my mouth so I wouldn't laugh out loud, I looked up at him.

"Are you okay?" I inquired once I regained my composure.

"Do I look okay?" He hissed under his breath, "I was just hit in the eye with a rubber band!"

"Woah, calm down there, where did the band go?" I shrugged off his pain and glanced around me, searching for the band.

He bent down at his side and picked up my rubber band. Handing it to me with a glare, he muttered something under his breath I couldn't hear.

"Thanks, and sorry about your eye," I grinned. He growled slightly and turned away. I shrugged my shoulders at him and continued to zone out.

I was brought back when the bell rang signaling class to be over. I stood and headed for the door with Lily and the other girls. We all went off for Charms together.

Again I zoned out in that class. The second he told us we could sit I zoned out. But of course I was sitting next to Sirius again. Didn't anyone in this school have a surname that started with C?

I was forced out of my thoughts when Flitwick asked me to do the charm he was just talking about. Glancing up at the board I saw it was a simple levitating spell. I nodded and turned to Sirius, "wingardium leviosa." Sirius began floating around the room wherever my wand lead him.

"I was just asking you to do it on a textbook but I guess that is fine too, 10 points to Griffindor. Please return Mr. Black to his seat." I shrugged and dropped Sirius into his seat again. He glared at me again and returned to passing notes with James.

When that class was over we all went to lunch. Sitting in the same spot as breakfast I was soon attacked by a happy Liam.

"Bex! Guess what! I saw a unicorn in Care of Magical Creatures today! It was so cool," Liam climbed onto my lap and grabbed a few grapes.

"Oh really? And what did you learn?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow at him curiously.

"That their blood is magical, if you drink it then you can stay alive if you were on the verge of death. But only desperate people drink unicorn blood because there is nothing worse than that." He explained with wide eyes.

"Nice, and in Potions?" I asked.

"The Draught of Living Dead." He answered with an unenthusiastic shrug.

"I remember having to learn about that in my first year," I nodded. "Pretty boring since you aren't allowed to brew it. You hungry?"

"Sorta." He shrugged but grabbed some crisps as the boys sat around us.
