CHAPTER 3: The Magic of Hogwarts.

The first day of classes had finally arrived, and Ethan couldn't wait to start learning magic. He and his friends made their way to their first class, Charms, taught by Professor Flitwick.

As they entered the classroom, Ethan was struck by the tiny professor's enthusiasm and energy. "Welcome, young witches and wizards! Today, we shall learn the basic charm, Wingardium Leviosa!"

Ethan watched in awe as Professor Flitwick demonstrated the charm, effortlessly levitating a feather. "Now it's your turn, class! Remember, wand movement and incantation are key!"

Ethan took a deep breath, gripped his wand, and tried the charm. To his surprise, the feather lifted off the desk, hovering in mid-air. "Whoa, I did it!"

Liam, sitting next to him, grinned. "Nice job, Ethan! You're a natural!"

As the class continued, Ethan and his friends learned more charms, each one more complex than the last. By the end of the lesson, they were all exhausted but exhilarated.

Next was Transfiguration, taught by Professor McGonagall. "Today, we shall learn the art of transformation," she announced, her eyes gleaming with intensity.

Ethan struggled to turn a rock into a stone, but Julian, sitting across from him, seemed to master it effortlessly. "How do you do it, Julian?" Ethan asked, impressed.

"It's all about focus and control," Julian replied with a smile. "You'll get the hang of it, Ethan!"

As the day went on, Ethan and his friends attended classes on Potions, History of Magic, and Defense Against the Dark Arts. Each lesson brought new challenges and discoveries, and Ethan felt his mind expanding with the secrets of magic.

As they made their way back to Gryffindor Tower, Ethan turned to his friends with a grin. "Can you believe we're actually learning magic? This is the best day ever!"

Liam nodded, his eyes shining with excitement. "And it's only the beginning, Ethan. Who knows what wonders and dangers lie ahead?"

The boys laughed, their spirits soaring as they climbed the stairs to their dormitory, ready to face whatever adventures Hogwarts had in store for them.
