|Charms| Closed

Charles was sitting next to his friend Josette. He was very nervous and kept spinning his wand around in his hand. Since it was the first time going to Charms for everybody in this class, it should just be introductions. But that was what Charles worried about the most. He worried he would not have the right supplies for class.

Or that he would not understand anything about the class. He was a complete nervous train wreck. He was having a complete mental breakdown because he thought only about what could go wrong. His thoughts raced around in his head. About all the possible outcomes. " What if the teacher never shows! " He thought to himself. Finally, his friend started to speak. So he took a deep breath and listened to what they said.

"What do you think of here Charles?" the girl asked as she smiled, she was as usual leaned back in her chair.

Charles wanted to reply, but he didn't really know what he thought of the classroom. All he really thought was it was very loud. Charles just mumbled " Loud " but it was so quiet Josette could probably not hear what he said. If she did then she had an incredible hearing. Like who could hear that well that would be crazy. Charles thought to himself as he fiddled with his wand.
Then Josette did something unexpected.

"Have you heard Of the Secret Blossom Ball?" She asked Charles. In what seemed to be a hushed tone.

Charles had no idea what it was at the time then it hit him. Somebody was throwing a secret ball. There was no way it was ok to throw a ball in secret. And Charles wanted to be the best student but he would not tell on his friend. So Charles just sat there thinking of the best reply that would keep him and Josette out of trouble.

" I didn't hear but if its secret. Then I don't want to go, if they catch anybody at a secret ball there would be trouble. But I'm not a snitch if my friends are involved. Maybe when there is some sort of dance that is allowed we can go together. " Charles whispered to his friend. Then he waited for any sort of reply at all.

Jo heard him say something but through the noise, she couldn't understand what he said. As he replied

"I didn't hear but if its secret. Then I don't want to go, if they catch anybody at a secret ball there would be trouble. But I'm not a snitch if my friends are involved. Maybe when there is some sort of dance that is allowed we can go together."In what she heard to be an anxious tone.

As jo heard him say it in such an anxious tone she turned to him and smiled. "I'm sure there are going to be loads of people, they couldn't possibly punish all of them, and besides there was supposed to be a ball but it was cancelled, and I don't really think that the professors wouldn't understand" she smiled, he didn't have to voice his trait of not being a snitch, she knew he wasn't and if he was she wouldn't bother, it's okay he's her friend.

["And before there might start a debate between the two of us, what would you think of going to the ball with me as a friend?" She asked, she smiled although she felt her guts twist with the excitement of the idea of a ball hidden from the teachers and maybe otherwise people who would snitch on them, it felt sort of Like rulebreaking, but she knew the moment that she would otherwise enter the ball her mind would twist worrying if the teacher or maybe muggles would find them.

Before Charles could continue talking he was cut off.

"I'm sure there are going to be loads of people, they couldn't possibly punish all of them, and besides there was supposed to be a ball but it was canceled, and I don't really think that the professors wouldn't understand." She said and smiled.

Charles tried to think of something to say. Anything that would have been helpful. But instead, all Charles could think of were here words. They just repeated in his head not stopping. He wished class would start already but nobody even eligible to teach came. Only late students that got lost in the halls of Hogwarts.

He wished he was one of them so he did not have to think so hard about what to say. He tried thinking as hard as he could. But it was like his brain just left him. And it was like his tongue left him. He tried to speak but nothing came out. As if knowing that Charles had noting to speak he heard his friend's voice.

"And before there might start a debate between the two of us, what would you think of going to the ball with me as a friend?" She smiled as she asked the question.

Charles took a deep breath and collected his thoughts. Okay so sure maybe you were a bit tongue-tied. But that doesn't mean you're an idiot. Now stop overthinking it and reply. Charles thought to himself. As he once again gathered the courage to talk. " I don't know how you possibly knew I would start a debate but your right. It's better to change the subject. "

Charles took a deep breath as he thought of what to say.

" And your also right, they can't catch all of us if so many people are going. And you're a great friend, so I guess how can I say no. Of course, I will go to the ball with you as a friend but not just as a regular friend but as good friends. Only if that's okay with you of course. " Charles added quickly. He looked down at his hands and played around with his wand. Then the teacher walked in and class started.
