The Wizard’s Love Spell

Isabella woke up at around six am. Classes started at eight, but Isabella had always been an early bird. Mira snored, she was still deep asleep.

So Isabella crept quietly out of the dormitory and into the girls bathroom. There were a few other girls there, mostly older than her. They simply greeted her and carried on with their business.

Isabella was ready by seven, so she had an hour to do as she pleased. When she walked into the common room, she was surprised to see Adam, sitting in an armchair reading.

"Oh hey Isabella, lemme guess, Mira stayed up til midnight reading?"

Isabella took a seat in the armchair next to his. "Yep. I'm guessing that's a normal occurrence?"

"Yes, it is. Can't mess with her and her books. If she says she's gonna finish a book that night, she will definitely finish it."

Isabella chuckled a bit. She wondered how they all came together.

"I'm up y'all!" Mira sneaked up behind them. Only Adam let out a little shriek. Which more high pitched than expected.

"Haha! Gotcha." Mira was pleased with herself. Adam set down his book and started tickling Mira.

"How's that Nym?"

"Hahaha... stop... haha...st... stop! Adam! Hahahaha..." Adam continued to tickle her until Mira was completely out of breath.

Isabella definitely felt that she was third wheeling now. Then Adam said-

"Alright come on, let's go get breakfast."

So the trio headed down to the Great Hall, Mira clutching her sides from all the laughing.

"Over here!" Called Jane. She was sitting at the end of the Hufflepuff table along with Philip, Michelle, Kaylene, Lillian and Olivia.

"Wait... I thought we could only sit with our own houses?" Isabella said.. a bit confused.

"That's only at dinner times. Otherwise the professors don't really care." Michelle answered.

"Yeah but anyways how was your first night, Isabella?" Jane asked.

"Oh it was great. The Ravenclaw common room is truly amazing."

"Looks like you're settling in pretty well, that's good."

The rest of breakfast carried on, some light conversation here and there. But mostly, Isabella was busy stuffing herself with the food.

But the crepes were so good and by far her favorite part of breakfast (although the omelette she had had was also very good). They had a creamy chocolate filling with strawberries and bananas topped with some whipped cream.

At 7:50, they started to head to class.

Her first class was Herbology, and according to her schedule third year Ravenclaws would be with the third year Gryffindors.

She walked outside with Mira and Adam since they were all headed the same direction. Lillian and Olivia had ventured ahead.

The air outside was refreshing, it was sunny and there was a slight breeze.

The greenhouse was half filled when they got there. Students were still piling in.

"Alright settle down everyone!" Professor Longbottom said after the bell rang. "Now today we are goi-" his sentence was cut off by a few students who walked in late.

Isabella didn't think they were type to come into class early. The one in front particularly caught her attention. He was wearing Gryffindor robes, there was a playful smirk on his handsome face. He had green eyes and messy black hair, he was tall, lean and looked like the athletic type, perhaps he played Quidditch, she thought.

"That's Nick Potter. His ego is higher than his IQ, plays Quidditch too. He's pretty full of himself." Adam whispered to Isabella.

'Potter? Her father had spoken much about this famous family. Especially Harry Potter- the boy who lived.' Isabella concluded that this boy was most likely the grandson.

"Sorry Professor Longbottom!" He yelled at the Professor.

"Come sit in the front Potter. The rest of you sit in the back." He said to the late students.

Mira g.r.o.a.n.e.d. The front was where they were sitting. Most of the Ravenclaws looked disappointed too.

'Must be bad blood between them...' Isabella thought.

"Next to Ms Isabella, Potter." Professor said as Nick g.r.o.a.n.e.d. "Come on we haven't got all day. Alright class today we will start learning how to harvest puffapods. Dragon hide gloves on so we can start."

Everyone already had their gloves on while Nick barely even getting his gloves out.

"The Puffapod produces pink seedpods the size of a fist (but sizes vary depending on the size of the pod). The pod is packed with metallic/shiny beans. These beans vary in colour, although are always shiny." The Professor continued his lecture, the majority of people (mostly the Ravenclaws Though) were taking notes, scribbling down anything that could possibly come up in an exam and then they would follow any instruction given right away. Potter was very clearly not a Ravenclaw, seeing as he slacked the entire lesson. He just sat there as if he was too important to pay attention. No notes, and when they were about to plant their seeds, Potter was about to make a mess.

"Stop." Isabella said, grabbing his wrist as he was about to grab the seeds.

"What?" He replied, clearly astounded that she grabbed him.

"Perhaps if you kept that big head of yours out of the clouds you'd know what you were doing."

Nick was in shock. No other student had ever insulted him, much less corrected him.

"Stop gaping and start paying attention." She said as she let go of his hand. "Now listen..."
