"Oh, really?" Sophie smiled awkwardly. "It happens, sometimes. Last time someone saw it happening was years ago. I'm not sure if that's because nobody says it when they see it happening, or if that it only happens when I'm around some people." When she said 'some' she looked directly at Nathan...
"I wont mention it to anyone, though my tutor always said it's good to talk about difficult subjects. But you're right, now is not the time." She said, trying to comfort him. She started walking to the dungeons.
"Ugh yea, I think you're right, time for Defense Against. Lets head for the...
Sophie's eyes widened. This was a lot to take in. Sophie didn't know what to do, she just stood there. When Nathan said that his house was set on fire, she almost heard the the pain he felt.
She ran to him and pulled him in to a hug.

"Yeah, although they sound serious. Maybe after class, we can go to the forest and then you can tell me about the spells!
I meant the fight with the intruders when we had our sorting. And yesterday our head girl, I've forgotten her name, was attacked." She leaned in a little and whispered...
"That's great." She said with a sigh. "I want a good seat in our next class, so we have to go." She said a little to loud as Sophie and Nathan walked out the great hall.
"Ackerman, I... There are things going on here at school, things I can't understand. First the fight, then the attack. Do...
"I never really had a friend." Sophie blushed and looked down. She looked up to him again stared into his eyes. She forgot what she wanted to say, something about going to the woods, maybe?
After some moments Sophie realized what she was doing. "We have to go now!" She said as she jumped up...
"There you are! I was kind of worried. Did you eat anything?" Sophie smiled at the boy and handed him her plate. "What I like to do? Uhm... I love the woods. What about you?" She said with red on her cheeks.
Sophie thought of what she really wanted to ask, but well... she did not have the guts...
Sophie was eating breakfast again. And again she was tryintoto write a letter, but again it did not work out.
After everything had happend the day before, she had other things to worry about. How could someone be so mean to cast such a horrible spell, are there more people like that, where had...
Sophie had dicided that she liked herbology and professor Longbottom. She had no homework on her mind when she walked the greenhouses out, happily chitchatin with Nathan.
"I'm from the Hufflepuff house, but as you said, I think it's not against the rules to have friends outside our houses. Do...
"Yeah me too, though I think I never really met one." Said Sophie while she dried her cheeks.
After four tries Nathan had managed to cast the spell properly. It hadn't felt painfull or horrible, maybe a real wand in the face is worse.
When Sophie had her turn she had managed to cast the...
Sophie looked puzzled at first. She hadn't expected a wand in her face. Then the tears started to come. She tried not to cry.
"Ackerman, don't hurt her. You will be just like her if you do." She treid to say, but it didn't came out that well, because she was crying.
@captainnate...
"Great! It's expelliarmus. Maybe you should practise pronouncing. I am certainly going to practise the pronunciation. Magic is really picky about that in some way."
@captainnate
"Well, it's actually quite easy. Just don't think or worry about it. If we work together it will work out just fine, but you have to promise me that you say it if it hurts."
Sophie lent in a little
"I can easily imagine that our professor will someday teach us a horrible spell, so I have to...
Sophie walked to Nathan.
"I'm sorry about your wand. Ackerman, if I'm not mistaken?" She held her hand out hopefully. "I'm Sophie, Sophie Schwarzwald."
@captainnate
Sophie did'nt want to hurt anyone with the spell, so she decided to secretly practise on the door. It still didn't work. Sophie was trying so hard, that she did'nt heard the footsteps coming. One last time she shouted the spell and it worked! She felt the magic going through her body just as the...
Reluctatly did Sophie what was asked from Prof. Darx. She had felt the urge to leave the class, but didn't want to dissapoint her housemates.
The pronunciation of the spell was something Sophie was not used to, so her first three tries failed miserably.
Sophie's first hours at Hogwarts weren't as bad as she expected. Still she had not quite understood what happend the last night. All kind of things entered her mind, but what to write?
Sophie was sitting at the Hufflepuff table. In front of her was a plate with half a slice of bread on it and...
