1. Herbology
Herbology was not her favourite subject. She stood at the end of the bench, staring cautiously at the mud and dirt. There were dragonhide gloves in a trug under the bench, but Maisie preferred to use her own. Her mother was a magical seamstress, and had enhanced her Herbology gear purposefully, knowing how Maisie hated getting her hands dirty. (Originally, she had tried to make them herself, but the material was just impossible.) Maisie pulled them on. “Well, Herbology,” She said, edging towards the mud piled up on the table. She glanced anxiously at the girl she was sharing with. | |

2. Muggle Studies
It was a muggle book. The Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. The cover was purple with a space feel and it felt thin in Maisie’s hand. She was used to huge, thick books covered in dust and spilled potions ingredients. She’d ordered it from the Witch Halls, a strange place full of muggle products from Amazon. Maisie wasn’t sure if that meant the river Amazon or something else. Logically, something else. She sighed. She was getting distracted again. You were supposed to clear your head of all the junk. Maisie focussed on her breathing again, wriggling a little on the cushion.

3. Transfiguration
Maisie liked Transfiguration. She liked the theory behind it, with its intellectual concepts and rules. She liked rules too, and the laws of magic. The classes she liked best were the theoretical ones. Maisie felt better about herself when she could engage her mind with something. Her intellectual side was the only part of her she could stand since the attacks. She felt like it was her fault that her mother would do the kinds of things she had done. Maisie wished she was with her father. She picked a book on Gamp’s Laws of Transfiguration and checked it out.

4. Ancient Runes
Maisie had been using runes to see her future for most of her life. She’d been given a set by a pony one Halloween. The pony worked with her father, pulling the cart full of magical pumpkins to the market. There had been a note with a hoofprint right across the paper saying: Quote:
“Happy Halloween, Love Snowy.”
The runes were dark green with glittering white embossing. The bag was dark green velvet. The rune Maisie got the most was Hagalaz. It looked like a capital H in jagged handwriting. It meant hail, hailstones, or destruction. Maisie drew it a lot.

5. Astronomy
The telescope was purple with a glitter galaxy over it. Maisie picked it up carefully and searched the room for a cover. It was a Planetscope 360 and there was no way it didn’t have a cover. Maisie didn’t hear the footsteps entering the room until they were a step away from her.
“Thanks, I was wondering where that went,”
Maisie looked up into a tall, pale woman’s face. She had white hair that shone like the moon.
“I’m Marcie, I’m an Examiner. I specialise in Astronomy.”
Maisie felt the Planetscope 360 being taken gently out of her hands. “Oh,”

6. Divination
Maisie saw the day her mother died in a teacup. A cross over a pile of dirt and her mother’s face, floated in the white porcelain. On the cross was the number 8.11. On the eighth of November in Maisie’s first year, she received the owl telling her that her mother had died. In her Head of House’s Office, Maisie cried tears of relief. The Professor took it as grief and left her alone. No one would ever know. In the Ravenclaw dorm, Maisie went to bed early and wrote stories. Stories where the knight banished the evil at last.

7. Care of Magical Creatures
Maisie had loved the lesson about Mooncalves. She still couldn’t believe she’d seen real Mooncalves! She was in her dorm writing an episode of her knight story where Skylarn defeated a Chinese Fireball to save a Mooncalf. His sword cut through the dragon’s scales as if they were water. The soft skin underneath was vulnerable. Maisie pulled her dressing gown closer round her. It was freezing up here! The dragon roared. Skylarn jumped back, narrowly avoiding the flames. With one stab, Skylarn slayed the dragon through the heart. Maisie wished her mother would love her stories, but that was impossible.

8. Potions
Maisie wasn’t a fan of Potions. She hated the insects, the bits of animals and the mess. She hated getting her hands dirty. She was chopping beetles for a cold potion. They didn’t smell too bad, but she hated the sound the knife made as it cut into them. “Brew the beetles until the potion is red and bubbling!” The Professor said. “Then you can add the unicorn hair.” Maisie frowned. She wrote: “Unicorn parts in potions.” She was going to the library later and she wanted to find out what happened when unicorn tail hair was sourced for potions.

9. Defense Against the Dark Arts
Maisie Dimple was useless at disarming spells. She mispronounced the word, “Expelliarmus!”, tying her tongue in a knot and slurring and her spell always rebounded back on her. Once, she’d even broken her nose. This time, she was flying through the air. She landed with a horrible crack against a wall. Maisie’s spine exploded in pain. She lay against the wall, waiting for her opponent to run over to her. The Professor wasn’t far behind. She was already yelling for someone to go and get the nurse. Maisie hoped she wouldn’t have to spend the night in the hospital wing.

10. Arithmancy
The numbers made perfect sense to Maisie. Nine meant horses and three meant books. Three books about horses? Or nine horses in books? The second idea was confusing. Maisie preferred the first one. She knew a pony called Snowy, but she had never seen a horse. Her favourite animals were Mooncalves. Maisie copied her reading into her notebook. Three books about horses… She wondered what kind of book. Muggle textbooks? Or novels? Maybe Maisie would write the books herself? She had never been a horse fan, but she did have a knight in her stories. Maybe he needed a horse.
