[Nóirín Sheenan]

After she carefully read what the essay was about, she wrote some tips on a piece of paper and handed them to Muireann. She could have written the essay, but Professor Carrington surely knew what her hand-writing looked like. Besides, she did not want it to be that easy for Muireann. She wouldn't try hard enough. It was funny, concidering that Slytherins were well known cheaters, still, Nora was not particularly fond of cheating. Sometimes Nora seriously thought that she was not a true Slytherin. Still, the sorting hat knew better than her.

She picked up another piece of parchment, which had to do with Charms. She wrote knew tips on another piece of pachment. If they worked like this they would finish with all the homework by afternoon.

" What electives did you choose for next year?" Nora asked her sister as she carefully wrote on her parchment.

[Muireann Sheenan]

Muireann accepted that Nora didn't just wrote the essay's but helped her with a few words so she could write them herself. "Arithmancy, earth magic and care of magcal creatures? Do you think I've taken too much?" she said at looked at Nora, counting on her older sister's advice. after Murieann had anwered she took the next essay and started writing some more words so she could finish writing it later

[Nóirín Sheenan]

" You'll do just fine, Care of Magical Creatures is not that hard." Nora assured her sister. It did not really require any homework, they just learnt about magical creatures and how to feed them and clean their poo and other stuff like that.

[Muireann Sheenan]

Muireann smiled, she was happy that Nora would support her, it seemed like many subjects, but she had trouble deciding, so she had only taken the three she really couldn't decide between. "Thanks, I really hope I will like these classes, hopefully they give me some inspirtion to the other classes." she said, hoping she was right.

[Nóirín Sheenan]

" Care of Magical Creatures is rather fun, especially when you learn about interesting stuff like unicorns." Nora said to her sister. She only took Care of Magical Creatures from the classes she had referred, so it was the only class she could speak about. " But I'm not gonna lie, it is rather dull when you learn about some exploding worms and stuff like that."

[Muireann Sheenan]

Muireann nodded, Nora was right like always. "Well, I guess most of the classes are a little dull in the beginning." She said with a sigh. She couldn't wait to go back to school and start on her new classes. She knew that it wasn't exactly the most usual classes she had taken, perhaps except care of magical creature.

[Nóirín Sheenan]

" Oh, you will actually do something fun in the first class." Nora said to her sister. " You will probably talk about the Creatures you have seen or something like that. Or perhaps the professor will bring a unicorn." Nora's first class was rather entertaining, though she soon started to dislike it when they had to do less interesting things.

[Muireann Sheenan]

Muireann nodded, the teachers tried most of the time to show the students how interesting their subject could be, in the first lesson, before they started on all the boring stuff. "All the teachers are the same. they try to make it interesting from the beginning, but give it a few lessons, then it always ends up being boring." she said but she was stubborn and wouldn't let the fact that the lessons were boring give her a reason to stop making her homework.

[Nóirín Sheenan]

Well, it wouldn't be normal if in the first class the students were required to clean up a unicorn's poo or something like that. Nora kind of understood the reasoning behind her professor's actions. Besides, the first days of school were usually the most exciting. After a long summer it was quite fun to get to use your wand again.

" Perhaps you should find a class that you like, Muireann and try hard at it." Nora said to her sister. " I mean, Hogwarts is not that bad and the classes there are pretty exciting. Imagine being a muggle! Their schools are way more boring than Hogwarts." Not to mention that they were usually only for boys.

[Muireann Sheenan]

Muireann thought about it. she didn't knew that much about muggles, but they couldn't use magic, and many of the things in the world, they didn't even know excited. she couldn't imagine how boring their life must be. "I guess you are right, maybe I should just be happy that we have the magic and that our classes is exciting in some ways." she said with a smile.

[Nóirín Sheenan]

Nora smiled. Muireann could be a pretty stubborn girl, but she was smart. " I bet there is at least one class you like more than the others." Nora herself had discovered she liked Transfiguration during her second year. Sure, she was pretty good at it during her first year, but they did not really learn something interesting then, just how to turn beetles into buttons and stuff like that.

" Or, perhaps, I don't know. Maybe you will discover what you are talented at later. Maybe you are good at Quidditch, who knows." Nora mused with a shrug.

[Muireann Sheenan]

Muireann finished her essay notes so she could write them later. "So far I really like Potions, it's simple because I don't have to do so much wand work and imagine things, but even the simplest potions can be difficult." she said looking like she thought about it. she had never thought about Quidditch, but maybe she should try it again.

[Nóirín Sheenan]

Nora doubted that anyone disliked potions when Professor Carrington was teaching. Sometimes Nora had the feeling that the woman concidered half of her student too dumb to make a potion. She was a good professor, but Nora rather wished her classes were more challenging. Well, perhaps she was not treating the Sixth and Seventh years like babies.

" Potions is a nice class. You could even work in the hospital if you are good at it." A healer also needed NEWTs at Charms, Transfiguration and other classes Nora doubted that Muireann was fond of, but she preferred not to mention it to her sister.

[Muireann Sheenan]

Muireann smiled and finished one of her essays without thinking about it. the writing was not the prettiest, but she could read it herself, so she could always write it again, they didn't have that much money, so she should probably be more careful with just using the ink they had, but she couldn't help it.
