Ch 7 - Transfiguration and Herbology

As soon as Celine walked through the doors to the classroom, she saw Alex messing around with Fred and George. Noticing her from the corner of his eyes, he waved her over. Rolling her eyes she walked over to her brother. "How was your first class?" Alex asked her with a smirk.

"Fine," Celine said simply before taking out her charm's textbook to study. She had already read all her textbooks but wanted to memorize them just in case.

As if reading her mind, George said, "You know, you don't have to memorize all your books right?" She didn't even look up to acknowledge him. He just went back to planning whatever it was with Fred and Alex. A few minutes later, Professor McGonagall strolled in and immediately the classroom became so quiet, you could hear a quill drop. Everyone could tell that Professor McGonagall wasn't someone you could easily mess with and getaway.

The first half of the lesson was writing notes and during the second half, the professor gave everyone a match that they were supposed to turn into a needle. By the end, only Celine and Alex managed to turn them into needles which earned them 5 points each. At the end of the lesson, Celine was packing up when something caught her attention out of the corner of her eye. It was shiny and silver and there were two. Alex, Fred, and George had already gone ahead for lunch. Celine went closer to take a look and noticed it was near where Fred and George were sitting. Under their desks, there were 2 perfectly sharp needles. She stood up and pulled out a handkerchief from her bag. She wrapped up their needles and put them away.

After lunch, Celine had Herbology with the Slytherins. Heading outside to the greenhouses, Celine was thinking about potions class. When she entered the greenhouse first years were working in, Professor Sprout introduced herself to the first years. The professor lectured and warned the class about the dangers of devil's snare and how to deal with it. When the class ended, she called out when everyone was packing up, "Next time we'll get some hands-on experience with the actual plant!"
