Lesson one - First years

Clementine made loud retching noises from outside the classroom.

"These guys are jealous." Alex whispered almost soundlessly.

"I guess..." Amy replied, just as quiet.

I got up and went to whisper into Darcie's ear. "Remind me to put some babbling potion into Alex' pumpkin juice later on." And then louder. "*sigh* Oh, well, I think I just have to go, wander into the corridors and find myself a gorgeous red-haired man. Hoped Uncle Bill had a son!"

A snigger could be heard from outside the classroom, before a particularly loud puking sound.

I chuckled. "I'm gonna check on Clem. Don't want her to choke on her own saliva, do you?" And then lower for Darcie. "Just leave the lovebirds alone, so you can breathe again." And I bounced to the door, after sending a disgusted look at Alex.

Darcie giggled. "Don't worry, I'll be mostly good. I won't do anything that I feel is unnecessary. We can get all the details from Alex, or better yet Amy, later." Darcie made a pair of small doves out of shadows and made them fly over Alex and Amy. After a few minutes, they dissolved and turned into hearts. The hearts then dissolved and turned into sparkles that rained down gently on Alex and Amy.

"Sweet little thing aren't you." Alex said stroking Amy's cheek softly. Refusing to acknowladge Ana and Clem but mouthing a thank you to Darcie as she left.

Darcie nodded at Alex. "I suppose I should go make sure Clem's okay; That was one nasty cough!" Darcie got up to leave. Before she left when Amy wasn't looking, Darcie flashed Alex a double thumbs up and mouthed the words 'You got this!'

Amy turned beet red, speechless. 'Come on, stop being dumb and DO SOMETHING!'

Clementine let out a small laugh as Ana and Darcie arrived outside the classroom, "What're they going?"

Darcie laughed and whispered back, "They're being all lovey dovey and stuff. It's so romantic! I think they might be going out by the end of the day!" Darcie jumped up and down quietly. "Ohh! I'm so happy for them!"

Alex glanced to check the room was empty and Clem wasn't spying on them, before taking Amy's head in both his hands and kissing her lips softly.

Taken by suprise at first, Amy slowly melted into the kiss, before a voice in her head screamed 'ARE YOU MAD!?! YOU DON'T KNOW THE GUY!' Amy tried desperately to ignore it, but it was, being true, her voice of reason.

Emie was going to be late to her Charms' lesson, she was so sure of it. And she hated nothing more than entering a classroom under the gazes of other students.

So she was more than surprised when in front of the classroom's doors, she found three girls, her age apparently, sneeking throught the wood panels.

Two of them were red-haired, one with long wavy hair, looking as if she didn't know she was pretty, and the other looking a nseeky little thing. The last one was blonde, and looking odd. As if there was something not normal with her.

Emie swallowed noisily and started walking back to where she had come from as silently as she could, her backpack bouncing on her shoulder and the clicking noises of her things inside making it difficult not to be noticed.

"Hi, I haven't seen you 'round..." Clementine said suddenly, turning her head. "You don't want to go in there..." she sniggered.

I stopped dead when I understood one of them was talking to me. To me. I started hyperventilating, but calmed myself, and walked towards them once more, trying to cover my face with an engaging smile. Failure.

"Yeah, I-" I swallowed "I've just arrived. I'm Emie." (pronounced like Amy)

Clementine grinned "I know how you're feeling. I was new the beginning of the year and heck was it hard to talk to people! I'm Clementine, and, since they won't be out of there for a long time-" she grimaced, "They're Alex and Amy. The lovebirds. Ugh, it's despicable- they've only just met!"

Darcie noticed the new girl and pulled her beret down past her eyebrows.((Darcie is wearing a black beret and scarf with a black sweater shirt and black skirt with black knee high socks and black converse...just saying...)). Darcie still wasn't used to new people."Hi," she said quietly to the new girl."I umm...I'm Darcie."

Clementine turned to Darcie "I sound so different, don't I? I swear, I either talk too much or not at all..."

Darcie could only nod in the presence of someone she didn't know. There was nothing Darc wanted to do more than hide in some shadows. But for the sake of not freaking out Emie with her weird ability, Darcie tried in inconspicuously hide behind Clem.

I grinned widely to Clem. "Geez Clem, you're talking to people you don't know! I promise, if you have no one by 17, I'll marry you!" I giggled and then bounced to the new girl. "Hi, I'm Anadora, but please call me Ana." I smiled big time.

I had smiled shyly to Clementine, who seemed really nice, and to Darcie, who seemed more odd. But when the other girl, Anadora, bounced to me as if she was walking on springs, I couldn't help but make a pace backwards. Oh, that girl was strange!

But there wasn't the time to be impolite. I bowed a little to her, and then turned to the others.

"What's a lovebird?"

I chuckled as I understood I had frightened the new girl. But I wouldn't change myself for anything in the world.

I paced forward carefully and took her arm, driving her to my two friends.

"I think you'd better ask Clem and Darcie 'bout that, I myself suck at descriptions." And I left them to spy throught the door.

"Well, it's generally what it sounds like..." she sniggered again, "all lovey-dovey and stuff..."
