Yay! Here's the new chapter!
________________________________________________________________________________________
After breakfast, our first class was Transfiguration, and we were still studying the transfiguration of the needle match, but since most of the students had managed to transfigure the match almost completely, with Terry, Anthony and Granger being able to do the Transfiguration completed, Professor McGonagall asked them to put more details on the needle.
I was still training my Transfiguration speed, only this time with a dozen matches. Transfiguring all the matches into needles was easy, but if I wanted to detail them all at once, then things got complicated. I could put the same details on all the needles, and it would be a lot easier, only that wasn't enough for me, and so I started trying to detail them all different from each other.
In a few moments, one needle or another would have some defect, but after a few tries I finally managed to transfigure all the needles with different details, and thanks to that I could see Professor McGonagall lose her composure again, which was invaluable.
At the end of this class, thanks to my feat, I got 5 more points for Ravenclaw, and even with the other students still feeling envy and jealous of my abilities in Transfiguration and my ease in getting points from home, they started to accept that that would possibly be the norm while I was around.
After the Transfiguration class ended, the boys and I started going to our next class which was Potions, and according to Professor Snape, today we would be making the Cure for Boils potion.

-Potions Classroom - Dungeons-
In the Potions classroom, I was sitting with Anthony next to me, as he beat Terry at rock, paper and scissors to see who would be my partner in class, and now Terry was partnering with Padma Patil, the twin of Parvati of Gryffindor, of Indian heritage.
We didn't have to wait long, as as soon as we all took our seats, Professor Snape arrived.
"Today we will be making a Cure for Boil potion" said Professed Snape at the front of the class, he then waved his wand at the blackboard, where several words magically appeared, "Instructions for the potion are on the blackboard, begin!" he said to us. And everyone quickly got up and went to the ingredients cabinet.
I then grabbed the ingredients and items needed for the potion and started to set them up on the table. After setting the table, I asked Anthony, who was my partner, to grind the snakes fangs and about that I prepared the cauldron and the other ingredients.
As the class progressed, Professor Snape walked around the desks looking at everyone's potions... well, it was more like him criticizing and making fun of other students' potions and brewing methods while taking a few points here and there, and unfortunately for the Puffs, they were Professor Snape's main target, and I'm pretty sure a girl cried.
Professor Snape then arrived at my desk, just as I started adding the horned slugs. He looked at our cauldron with his cold black eyes, and I could feel Anthony's nervousness beside me, and I think anyone would have been nervous. But I knew there was nothing wrong with my potion, and as intimidating as Professor Snape looked, I still looked directly into his eyes, as if daring him to criticize my potion.
And Professor Snape seemed to accept the challenge, as he also started to stare into my eyes, I even thought he would try to use legilimency on me, but it looks like he has at least some morals.
"Acceptable," said Professor Snape after a while, being the first to break eye contact. And then he left to check on the other students.
"Phew!" Anthony sighed in relief as Professor Snape left, "I swore he would take points away from us too" he said in surprise.
"Maybe he didn't take any points because he didn't find any problem with our potion," I replied with a shrug.
As the class continued, Professor Snape didn't pass my desk again, but he kept sending glances in my direction from time to time.
When I was close to finishing class, my potion was already blue in color and emitting pink smoke as described in the books. I then put Anthony's and mine's Cure for Boils potion in a bottle and went to give it to Professor Snape, and I was pretty sure our potion would get an O, as it was pretty much perfect, with some minor errors. And when Professor Snape received the potion, he looked at me for a moment, before taking the potion and making a mocking sound.
After delivering the potion, I went back to my desk and put away my supplies, and with Anthony and Terry at my side, we left Potions class and headed to the Great Hall for lunch.
___________________________________________________________________
After lunch, we would have the Flight class in the third period, but unfortunately the Flight class will only start in the second week, so we had a free period, until the Spells class in the fourth period starts.
___________________________________________________________________
In Charms class, as almost everyone managed to cast the {Lumos} spell and its contain-charm, and Professor Flitwick started teaching them {Lumos Duo} spell. However, as I had already learned this spell, Professor Flitwick gave me the choice of continuing to practice the spell or reading a book, and as I knew that continuing to train wouldn't help me much, I decided to read it. So I pulled out my 3rd Year charm book and my journal, and proceeded to jot down combat spells and those I thought might be useful at some point.
And that was it until the end of class, with me reading and taking down spells, and sometimes stopping to help Terry and Anthony with their spell casting.
And after class was over, we went to our common room, where I played a few games, which I always won, if it wasn't for luck, much to Terry and Anthony's annoyance and Phillips' trauma, which showed up in some time for a rematch. And I also talked again with Reese and Clarke, or as they asked me to call them, Victoria and Alysson, and we talked about a lot of things, from the muggle world and Hogwarts, to the kind of conditioner Snape uses.
After much conversation, we saw that it was close to dusk, so we headed to the Great Hall for dinner. After dinner, we all went back to our common room, and as I was a little tired, I decided to go straight to my room to sleep.
End.

(End AN: Hi friends, here's another chapter where we see some of the Hogwarts classes, and how Ethan fared in them.'
Im currently fixing my schedule so I can write more, and I'm also relearning how to draw, because I want to make the characters in my story for you. It will probably take some time for the character design to be satisfactory, but I'm trying so stay calm.
Thanks for reading my story, I hope you like it!)
