Chapter 11.1- Doom Days

“Mr. Potter. Come in, come in. Take a seat anywhere with a free slot” Flitwick said as I waked into the Seventh Yer classroom. Not a single face here was familiar to me except for that of the Charmps Professor himself and that was a good thin.g I’d chosen to attend the class with the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs for a reason. The Gryffindors and Slytherins had too much drama about them for me t have any chance of learning anything in the class.

“”So today, we will be covering animation charms” The Professor began, and I sat up and watched him with careful eyes as he began to explain just what he would be teaching us.

“Animation charms are one of the wider explored categories of charms. There are several animation charms. In fact at OWL-level charms you would have covered about four different independent animation charms. But those were all specialized animation charms for fixed purposes. They all help in getting the mind and magic ready for wider ranging animation charms in the end. For example, making a teacup tap-dance did not have much immediate use at the time but it did help get you all familiar with the concept of using your magic to produce human-like motion. Yes Mister Timber”

“Potter isn’t supposed to be here, Professor. This is the Seventh-year classroom. His presence is distracting” The Hufflepuff boy said, tossing a displeased look down at me that made me want to put my hands up to make it clear I wasn’t doing anything. The Charms Professor on the other hand just let out a sigh that made it clear how much he did not want to be dealing with this now.

“As Champion in the Triwizard Tournament, Hogwarts is bound by the Tournament Charter to allow Mr. Potter to attend whichever one of our classes he desires. I don’t remember any complaints from you, Mr. Timber, when Miss Delacour attended this very class nary two weeks ago” The diminutive professor said to the laughter of much of the class. The Hufflepuff boy flushed and took his seat while the Charms Master tossed me a wink. It was then that it sunk in that Flitwick did seem to have some sort of a soft spot for Harry according to the memories I had.

A/N; Just a bit shorter, yeah
