Acus Verto
Chris and the rest of the first year Ravenclaw students followed Penelope Clearwater, their Prefect. They went through the maze that was Hogwarts and even if Chris was a bit sleepy, he was still extremely excited to see the insides of Hogwarts. It was truly different from the movies. While the movies' special effects were really good, compared to real life magic, it did not hold a candle.
Soon they reached the fifth floor of Ravenclaw Tower where the entrance to the dormitories were. It was a door without a doorknob, but only an eagle-shaped knocker.
"So this is the entrance to the dormitories," Penelope said. "To get inside, you must answer the riddle that the knocker has for you once you knock on the door. If you cannot get in, you have to wait for someone to answer the question for you so I would suggest that you would take out everything you need just in case,"
After the brief explanation, she knocked on the door.
"Where does an object go when it's vanished?" The eagle knocker asked.
"Into non-being," Penelope answered.
"Not the best answer, but also correct," The door-knocker said as the door now opened.
Everyone started entering the Common Room and it was one of the most beautiful room, Chris has ever seen with a blue carpet that had stars on it which was reflected on the ceiling. There were chairs, tables, and bookcases all over the Common Room making it seem like a small library. Next to the doors leading up to the dormitories was the statue of Rowena Ravenclaw made of marble. It was marvelously made and everything from her to the diadem seemed extremely realistic as if it was a photo made up of stone.
'I know I saw it in the movie, but this is far better!' Chris thought.
"Well it is getting late," Penelope said while yawning. "Do you know what the smartest thing to do is? It is to sleep. There's no thinking without sleeping. The boys' dormitory is on the left while the girls' is on the right. There's one more rule. A guys is able to go to the girls' dorm and the girls to the guys' as long as the intent is pure. If there is any evil intent, they will not be allowed to go in. That is all. Good night," Penelope said as she left to go to the girls' dormitory.
'Well this wasn't in the movie, but I suppose it's a good change. It makes things a lot simpler,' Chris thought
Kristine and Hermione bid Chris good night and also went up to the girls' dorm.
After a bit of looking around, Chris went up to the boys' dorm. His room only had 4 people including himself in it so the big room had only 4 beds. It had blue sheets and blue bed curtains as well. The other three were already sleeping from their exhausting trip so Chris was the only one awake.
'Well, it'll take a bit till I get completely sleepy. I haven't used my hour and a half yet so let's do that,' Chris thought. He went inside the Practice Room and immediately started practicing all his spells. When his half hour was up, he achieved quite a bit, using the new Finding Spell 100 out of the 800 times, he needed to level it up. Of course, he practiced his other spells as well. Now he was truly exhausted and fell asleep without a hitch.
...
It was the next morning and the Ravenclaws after eating breakfast all went to their first class: Transfiguration. They were taking it with the Hufflepuff students. Hermione and Kristine were visibly excited for going to their first class.
In the classroom which looked at least a century old was Professor McGonagall who was waiting for everyone to be seated and quiet. Once everyone was quiet, she started the lesson.
"Hello students. In case you have forgotten me, my name is Professor McGonagall. I will be your Transfiguration professor throughout your entire time at Hogwarts. Transfiguration is quite complex and even dangerous. In this class, there will be practical lessons, but there will also be a lot of note-taking and homework so know that this will not be an easy class. However, if you truly do learn Transfiguration, you can learn something like this," Professor McGonagall said as she turned a desk into a pig.
"OOOO," Everyone looked at Professor McGonagall enthralled.
After about a couple of seconds, Professor McGonagall turned the pig back to a desk.
"You will know how to do this later, but for now, we will work on this," She said taking out a match. "You will turn this match into a needle. However, we are not going to do this now, but instead take some valuable notes. Get out your parchment and quills and get writing," Professor McGonagall said as she started the lecture while everyone is frantically trying to write everything down. After around 40 minutes, she finally stopped her lecture.
"The rest of the period will be spent on trying to apply the spell now," She said while handing everyone in the room a match.
As Chris didn't learn this from the Wizarding Book, learning this spell was quite difficult. However, gradually after many tries, he started getting the feel of it.
"Acus Verto," He chanted as the match slowly started turning into a needle. The new "needle" was still quite thick and blunt, but the change made Chris extremely happy. Hermione and Kristine were both also starting to get the hang of it as well as they were at the same progress level as Chris.
The remaining 20 minutes were up and Chris now created a perfect needle. Professor McGonagall praised him for his good work. She even awarded him 5 points for Ravenclaw for the good work. Even the System rewarded him.
[You have learned Acus Verto and have earned 50 EXP. You now have 51 EXP needed to level up. Acus Verto need to be cashed a 1000 times to level it up. You have earned 1 Sickles. You now have 4 G 0 S and 18 K.]
