As I'm trying to remember what it is, it comes to life "RONALD WEASLEY!" 'Ah, I remember now.' the seam of the letter opens and becomes a mouth and starts yelling at Ron in his mother's voice.

"YOU STOLE THE CAR?! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR FATHER AND I WENT THROUGH WHEN WE FOUND IT WAS GONE?! I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF YOU GOT EXPELLED! I THOUGHT YOUR FATHER WOULD DIE OF SHAME GOING TO WORK THIS MORNING!"

'Oh yeah, his father probably got a heavy fine for it.'

As it continues to yell I feel as though my respect for Mrs. Weasley is reaching new heights. Although the howler is annoyingly loud basically everyone is covering their ears right now. I'm fine though since Sin is covering them for me.

"WE ARE ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED AT YOUR LACK OF CARE! YOU AND HARRY COULD HAVE DIED! NOW YOUR FATHER IS FACING AN INQUIRY AT WORK AND IT'S YOUR FAULT. ONE MORE FOOT OUT OF LINE AND WE WILL BRING YOU STRAIGHT HOME!"

As it finishes it leaps from the table and bursts into flames curling up and gently floating down. I turn to see the twins staring at me from the end of the table and look at Ron before looking back at me.

'We'll talk later' Fred mouths to me as I give a thumbs up.

Seeing the thumbs up they walk out of the great hall and I stare at the now face down Ron. The people around us are obviously talking about him which makes him start hiding his face.

I pat his back "Come on, it isn't that bad."

Neville steps behind him and puts a hand on his shoulder and says "Yeah, happens to me all the time."

Ron looks up at him and they share a knowing nod. I peer past Ron to see Harry with a guilt-ridden face.

Hermione stands up "I'm going to go study in the common room before transfiguration."

I nod as I look at the two trouble makers and sigh "I'll join you." I stand up with a grin.

As I pass Ron I place a hand on his back and say "It's not that bad, you could have been killed, or worse, expelled." I speak with a high and mighty tone at the end.

He gives a short laugh as Hermione rolls her eyes and starts walking faster. I smile as I follow behind inviting Neville, Katie, and Dean to join us for study.

****

Only Katie ended up accepting my offer to go study, presumably to hang out with Hermione, not me. We ended up going to the Library to study in rather than the common room since we met Daphne Greengrass along the way. Katie really didn't want to study with a Slytherin but I insisted and she relented fairly easily.

Katie was fairly knowledgeable since she was a year older than us and got great grades. Daphne was the furthest behind but that isn't fair since Hermione and I are so far ahead. The only subject Hermione is beating me in is Transfiguration and I don't know why.

Compiling the spells for me is easy but visualizing the action of changing it is incredibly hard. I guess I'm lucky shifting in and out of Dementor form is more of something I can do on a whim, with no magic involved.

After studying for almost an hour we all go our separate ways, and we make our way to the first class with McGonagall. Entering the class we notice we are the first ones in., except McGonagall is already here in her cat form sitting on top of a bookshelf near the entrance. Both of us greet her as we enter and sit in the middle of the classroom.

I would prefer to sit in the back but Hermione wanted to sit in front so we compromised and sat a row back. Once everyone started showing up Ron and Harry sat next to me obviously feeling a bit better since lunch.

The second class started, McGonagall scared everyone who didn't see her by jumping off the shelf while shifting forms. Ron was one who nearly jumped out of his chair and I could hear him mutter under his breath "Bloody hell."

Unlike Snape who changed up from last year, Transfiguration was EXACTLY THE SAME. The second she started talking we had to take notes and we got no information about what will come. Not to mention she gave us homework on the first day, a full parchment at that.

After we get out of class I end up going to the common room with Hermione, Neville, and Dean to finish the homework. It's always nice just to get the homework done immediately so I don't have to worry about it. In my last life, I would often do it at lunch since I sat by myself in the library.

Later that day I go up to the boys' dorms to see Ron and Harry already sleeping. I shake Harry to try and wake him up to no avail.

I pull the covers off of both the sleeping duo. I point my wand and Harry and Ron's faces "Aguamenti".

Water sprays from my wand hitting both Ron and Harry in the face. Ron gets up quickly screaming "We are under attack!" as he flails his arms.

Harry just gets up quickly giving me a glare as he wipes off his face. The flail along with the angry glare makes me laugh along with the stray Gryffindor in the room.

Ron realizes it was a dream and stares at me with a blank look on his soaked face. His blank look causes me to laugh even harder.

"What was that for?!" He yells

I cough as I hold back my laughter "We have class in a few minutes, we need to get going."

Harry groans as he starts to put on his robe again. Meanwhile Ron is sitting on his bed with a blank stare "I don't want to go, It's almost midnight I need to sleep."

I look at the muggle wristwatch Arthur gave me and it stopped, I sigh as I turn to the magic clock on my desk, it reads 11:52 "Dammit, we are going to be late hurry up or I'm leaving you. You already have detention all year. Don't make it worse."

Ron sighs as he quickly gets his robes on and we start running towards the observatory. As we almost reach the stairs I see a familiar face out of the corner of my eye.

"You two go without me." Ron and Harry don't even look back, already sprinting up the stairs.

I roll my eyes as I walk at a brisk pace to catch up to the departing figure. Sure enough, when I get closer it's Professor Sinistra. She is only a bit taller than me at five-foot-nine, she has dark skin, and a cute face. She is the youngest professor at Hogwarts at only 26.

"Professor Aurora," I shout as I'm only 15 or so feet away.

She turns around with raised eyebrows and sharp eyes. "Professor What?"

I clear my throat "Professor Sinistra, sorry."

She shows a small grin revealing perfect white teeth "Sure you are Soren. What do you need? Class is about to start soon."

I pull out a random star chart from my notes and show them to her "How do you read these stars? Would it be the same as the Merlin constellation?"

She takes the chart and looks at them scrupulously "Mr. Black, you showed me this same chart last year, did you think I wouldn't notice."

I start to sweat a bit "Ah, sorry, I must have forgotten."

She grins at my nervousness mistaking it for something else "Now YOUNG Soren Black, if this is an attempt to seduce your teacher you'll have to try harder than that."

My face burns up as I blush "I would never. I just forgot."

Her face tells me she obviously doesn't believe me. She sighs "Since you are already late to class do you want to use the teacher-only chute with me? You may never get this chance again."

Still blushing a bit I nod it does seem interesting, I've always wondered how she gets up the tower so fast. I thought she was always there before us since she always walks from her office to greet us.

"Here." She points her wand at the wall and the stones separate. Behind the wall is a tube-like thing similar to an elevator. It's big enough to fit four people comfortably.

I walk in beside her and just stand quietly. She waves her wand again and we are whisked upwards at blinding speed. When the force stops we are standing inside the fireplace of her office.

My eyes go wide "Awesome."

She walks past me opening the door to leave "Don't tell the other students. They may get jealous." She turns her head and gives me a wink.

'Am I the one being seduced?' I wonder as I nod my head following her out the door.

There I see that almost the entire class sitting down already. As I go to sit in my area Ron and Harry burst up the stairs panting like they just won a race.

"Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Late on the first day?" Aurora says with an annoyed tone.

Ron and Harry are too tired to reply but their eyes go wide when they see me.

I just smile and wave.
