The Forgotten Twin

Chapter 13

The rest of the break Delilah kept trying to talk to Harry but he was always busy or talking with others.

Finally, just after dinner on the last day she managed to get him on his own.

"Harry, stop walking. I need to talk to you."

"Ok, what's up?"

"I had this weird dream the night of Christmas..." Delilah quickly relayed the dream and Harry's eyes kept widening with every word she said.

"So I assume based on your expression that it actually happened?"

Harry nodded and Delilah sighed.

"The question is why? Nothing like this has happened before unless it's because of..."

She paused. The Dream Dust had been glowing.

"Well, thanks Harry, I'm going to head off to bed, see you tomorrow in potions."

Harry groaned at that, but waved goodbye.

The next morning in charms Delilah did great as usual when Professor Flitwick called her back.

"Yes, Professor?"

"I was wondering if you would mind tutoring another student. They are in the same year as you and need help in charms," Professor Flitwick explained.

"Of course, who is it?" asked Delilah.

"His name is Alexander Black. He is a Hufflepuff first year and needs a bit of extra help with charms."

"Sure, so when will I meet him?"

"I was hoping you could tutor him today after dinner in the library."

"That works, see you later Professor Flitwick."

Delilah waved and left for lunch, her curiosity about Alexander preoccupying her throughout the rest of the day.

That night after classes and dinner she made her way to the library and picked a table and pulled out her charms book.

After a few minutes a guy with messy brown hair swaggered over.

Delilah sighed, she hoped that this wasn't Alexander but knowing with her luck, he was.

Sadly he was, because he spotted her and walked over.

"You're Delilah Potter, correct?"

Delilah nodded.

"And you're Alexander Black?"

Alexander winced.

"Please, call me Alex."

Delilah nodded and went straight down to business.

"So what do you need help with?" she asked.

"My charms work is dismal," Alex answered.

Delilah rolled her eyes.

"Well, if that's the case then I guess we should start with the basics."

Alex sighed.

"You mean the boring stuff."

"If you are so bad at charms then you could use the review of the simple stuff," pointed out Delilah.

"Fine, so what spell first?"

"Try Wingardium Leviosa."

Alexander sighed but cast the spell on the feather that Delilah had given him. Nothing happened.

"So all smart and mighty one, what am I doing wrong?"

"Your wand movement is correct, so it must be your pronunciation. Say it very slowly," Delilah ordered.
