What the hell is happening? I ask myself mentally, why me? What is this program? And why the hell is Asher coming with me.
“ Do you understand?” Professor Fontaine asks Asher and I.
“Not at all” I respond as asher glares daggers at me, I honestly don't know why he hates me. I only cursed the homework he stole from me so his potions grade plummeted.
“Ok, so the program is for 2-3 students from each school across the globe to do an exchange year at a different school. So you both will do a test to find your best subject and we will factor in what your career path is.Then you will go to the school that best fits your needs, Unless you match with an all girls / all boys school. Then you would go to the second best school that fits your needs.” Professor Fontaine says rather rudely, I hate him.
“ Any questions?” he asks and neither of us say anything
“ So here are the test papers, please fill out every question even if you don't know the answer”
I unscrew the ink for my quill and stare at the paper. The first section is on potions and I breeze through it, next is transfiguration and it's only a bit worse. Charms is next and it's definitely my best subject, this is too easy. Next its astronomy then defence against the dark arts, herbology, History of magic, and then a couple questions on quidditch. Most of the questions were really easy, the quidditch ones were probably my favorite.
I glance over at Asher and he’s smirking, why did they make it this easy? Or are other schools stupider? My questions don't get answered as no one is a mind reader in this room, I hope. I put my quill down and slide the paper forward to Fontaine, Asher follows my lead like the beta he is.
“Come to my office tomorrow morning at 9, you will be excused from your classes. I'll have your results”
I get out of my chair so fast it makes that horrid sound, like nails on a chalk board. I ignore it and leave as fast as I can. I speed walk through the neverending hallways till I get to my dorm, the other girls glare at me but I ignore them. I wont see them next year anyways. I toss and turn all night, I tried to act like it doesn't matter but it really does.
I wake up the next morning horrendously tired, why am I this nervous? I'm up and dressed earlier than I normally would be and only 2 other girls in my dorm are awake. I put my headphones on and walk to breakfast, why is the food hall so far from the dorms? I take my normal seat between 2 groups of my house mates that definitely don't notice me. They have the good cereal today, I get the fruit loops and the good orange juice before it's all gone.
It's only 8:30 when I finish breakfast so I walk to the courtyard and listen to my music and play block blast. I can't place my block when I'm at 25946, I glance at the time and I realize it's 8:45. Shit im going to be late,”shit shit shit” I mutter under my breath like a mantra as I practically sprint to Professor Fontaine's office. I got there a minute late. Him and asher are staring at me with surprise and mild annoyance on their faces.
“ Please sit Miss Winehouse “ he says in the aggravating posh voice, I hate him.
I sit beside Asher, and across from Professor Fontaine.
“ I have what some would say is good news, you will bo-”
I let out a very audible groan,
“ As I was saying you both will be attending Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Asher you will be glad to know that they have an excellent Quidditch program. As for the both of you, they have great Charms and Potions classes. One of the best that is offered.”
“ As you both know there are 3 days left for our schooling and Hogwarts runs on almost the same timeline as us, so you both will be leaving tomorrow at 10 to get sorted into your houses. And to also meet the teachers, you will be gone for 2 days. After that you will both get on the train and go to platform 9 ¾ and will take muggle transport back to your respectable houses. All of course paid by the school.”
Asher and I are both shocked at how fast this is going.
“ You both don't have classes for the rest of the day, it is obviously an excuse. So please go back to your dorms and pack, make sure to say goodbye to your friends as you both won't be coming back to this school for another year.
