Chapter 5: CH5: The Big Bad Bat

On the way to breakfest I once again talk with Hermione about the "Gedanken Link". While she is still averse to it, due to the prior mishap, she agreed to do it, if only because it is a necessity. Why is it a necessity? Because I only ever used elemental energie, and not magic. But I must be able to because otherwise I wouldn't be here. And Hermione never used elemental energie conciously, hell she only used it that one time in the train where the energie heeded her emotions and followed her will. But that is not controlling. "Lets just do it during breakfest, than we can just forget it over a full stomach.", I suggest. "Sounds like a plan".

Breakfest is nice. Like, realy nice. So chaotic that nobody notices when someone uses a little spell.

Once again I draw my golden-silver wand, once again the words "Gedanken Link" come from my mouth, and once again a beam of light connects our heads. 

After the beam connects us both, we appear on a grey platform in a seemingly infinite white room. Behind each of us we can see a library representing our knowledge. We both already hold a book in our hands, containing the knowledge we want to give the other. As I take the book out of Hermiones hands I can feel the wonderous feeling of something being added to me, being more secure, more powerfull. The saying "Knowledge is power" seems to hold a special meaning in this place. 

Looking up to Hermione, I see her staring back apparently finished too. We bow to each other and are promptly back in the great hall.

"What were you guys doing?, asks us Ron with a mouth full of... äh... something. Before I can even open my mouth Hermione already snaps at him: "Could you not speak with full mouth!" "Right that is a bit disgusting.", I continue, "We were doing a staring contest, the light beam slightly zapping the loser." "Cool, can you teach me, that?" "No. Now eat, you still have a full mouth."

After breakfest our first week at Hogwarts can start. 

Transfiguration with professor McGonagall was one of the most interesting lessons. I mean come on. You change things. You make silver out of wood, granted, only for a limitet time, but still. And McGonagall even made her desk into a pig. During that class my wand shiftet for the first time into a magic wand from an elemental wand. Now it is a construct of yew with a thunderbird tailfeather. Don't ask where the feather came from. I only realized at that time that a wand will change according to the type of energie used - A mixture of silver and gold infused with lightning, a perfect conductor for my lightning energie. A combination of yew wood and a thunderbird feather, apparently the perfect conductor for my magic. Now I look forward to seeing Hermiones wand in its elemental form.

Herbology with professor Sprout is a lesson to always look forward to, even though I am not realy interested in it, but you don't sit in a classroom and can actually talk to your friends, so thats that. Astronomy is just plain boring. I can understand its importance for magic, but still it is freezing cold on the tower and then you stand nearly motionless for a class. If only I were a fire or ice elementalwhile lightning is a very hot plasma, it only exists for a very limitet duration. Powering this up all the time can be damn exhausting for a human body, no problem though while transformed *sigh* ....... Nah, lightning is the coolest.

Charms with professor Flitwick was a fun experience, especially him falling of his stack of books when reading out Harrys name during the roll call. Then there was history class, but I can't remember what we were doing, I slept through it. Like most. That leaves us with DADADefence Against the Dark Arts and Potions. I had some hopes for the former and dread for the later. That speck of hope was gone quick. Quirrell was a disappointment, walking around with his turban full of garlic and stuttering at every word, while teaching us nothing. Sadly I was right with my dread for potions.

It already starts with the classroom being in the damn damp and dark dungeons of the castle. And what creature likes such places? A bat. In this case, a big grumpy bat named Severus Snape. Throughout the whole lesson he was unreasonable unfair to us Gryffindors, but especially Harry. Its like he killed Snapes lover, so much humiliates Snape Harry. And once we've startet making potions he just silently appears behind you, breathing down your neck and snarling nasty words at the smallest mistake before moving on to terrorize the next student. When Neville blew up his cauldroun Snapes terror reached its peak. He snarled at Neville and Seamus in the unfriendliest ways before sending them off to the infirmary. And then he turned to Harry: "You! - Potter! Why did you not stop him from messing up?! Thought that would make you look more important? One point from Gryffindor. Class is over."

The lesson with the BBB - Big Bad Bat - was the worst of the week. I would much rather listen to stinky Quirrell then go there again. Luckily it was the last we had for the week, and we had half a day left. As it was the first week we also didn't have much homework to do. We decided to just wander around the castle, going all the way up to the astronomy tower and from there down into the dungeons. From there to the Ravenclaw tower. And then we got a ball of something thrown at us. That thing bloody smelled like shit. The perpetrators revealed themselves to be two, loudly laughing, Weaslys. 

"Haha, how would"

"you rate"

"our big"

"dung"

"eggs?"

"Did you guys just ask us, how we would rate it after you threw one at us?", I incredulously ask them after processing what they said in fricking tandem. "Maybe you should throw some at Snape and ask him?", Hermione adds. We both draw our wands, point at them and: "Rictusempra!" One of them begins laughing, before Hermione repeats the spell against the other. Now both of them are lying there laughing uncontrollable. "It seems I still need to work on my magic", I say on our way to the dorms to get the stench out of us. My earlier spell failed, so that Hermione needed to cast it twice. "Yeah, it seems so.", she answers, clearly amused at the situation. 

"I am surprised you didn't zap him."

"Oh, there was a spark at the tip of my wand I just redirectet it."

"Where?"

"To me."

"So you zapped yourself?"

"Uhm.........Yes"

"Pfft"

"Oh shut up."
