I was pacing. It happened a lot when I was either nervous, confused or annoyed. Today, it was annoyance that played on my mind. So, I continued to pace the almost empty Gryffindor common room whilst Ron and Hermione sat on the sofa, also contemplating what to do. We needed a room to practice Defence Against The Dark Arts.

"Let's think about this later. Why don't we think about what spells you can teach everyone first?" Hermione suggested.

All of a sudden, Ron started to chuckle uncontrollably. "Fred and George told me about a spell, Harry. Bat-Bogey Hex. It makes your bogies massive." Hermione rolled her eyes, and I just sighed. Maybe it would be quite funny to perform that hex, but this meeting was serious, and enlarging bogies would not protect us from Lord Voldemort.

"That's about as useful as.. the Knitting Charm." I stated, allowing frustration to get to my temper.

"Er, my mum swears by the Knitting Charm, you know." Ron commented afterwards. Really, I meant no offense to Mrs. Weasley's knitting methods, but we really did need somewhere to practice.

...but seriously, why not be normal and knit by hand?
