Marvolo, Josephine, and The Other Hufflepuff First Years Had Charms Class With The Ravenclaws. It Was Here That Marvolo Learned Josephine Had Been Sorted Into Ilvermony's Pukewidge House, Before Coming To Hogwarts. This Oddly Enough Seemed To Fit In Well With Her Wand. Josephine's Wand Was A Handsome Willow Of Thirteen and Three Quarters Length, With A Core Of Phoenix Tail Feather. Willow Wands Tended To Gravitate Towards Healing Magic, Which Was One Of Pukewidge Houses Core Traits For Sorting Students. Marvolo Pretended To Admire The Wand, So He Could Sneak Glances At Josephine. Apparently A Few Other's Had The Same Idea, So When Josephine Was Looking, Marvolo Glared Them Off. He Would Not Loose Josephine To Someone Else.

Marvolo, Josephine, and The Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws Were Learning The Levitation Charm, Wigardium Leviosa. Professor Flitwick Was An Interesting Teacher, and Josephine Had An Effect On The Class. She Had A Look That Made A Boy Want To Melt Away In Her Gaze. This Gave Marvolo The Boost In Confidence and Concentration To Cast The Spell Successfully On His First Go. Josephine Smiled Warmly At Him, and He Let Out A Nervous Chuckle.

The Rest Of The Class Went By Without Much Incident, and With Herbology On The Agenda Next, They Were Eager To Continue, Perhaps A Tad Too Eager. Unlike The Last Class, Which Was Just Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, The Herbology Class Consisted Of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. Marvolo Was Happy To See Harry and Rom, and Hell, Even Hermione. Marvolo Knew That Factions Would Form, From Within The First Years, and Marvolo Knew He'd Not Let Himself Be Content With Second Fiddle To Harry. So Before Class Began, He Had An Idea.

Marvolo, Josephine, and Justin Approached Harry and Ron. "Hey You Two? Got A Sec?" Asks Marvolo. "Yeah, What's Up Marvolo?" Asks Harry. "Allow Me To Introduce My Friend Josephine Knox, Formerly, Of Ilvermony School Of Magic. But On To The Most Pressing Matter....Ron, You Better Than Anyone Should Know That Factions Are Already Being Formed In The Other Houses, and Sooner Or Later, They're Gonna Clash. You Two, Or Any Of Your Buddies Need Help, Josephine, Justin, and I Got You Back. Same Goes For You Hermione." Says Marvolo, Talking At The Nosy Muggle-Born. "Thanks Marvolo, I'm Starting To See Why You Were Sorted Into Hufflepuff." Says Harry. "Don't Mention It, Besides, The Way Malfoy and His Two Stooges Have Been Seen Acting, You've Got Yourself A Heated Rivalry Growing." Says Marvolo. "Alright Class! Time To Begin!" Hollered Professor Sprout. "Hey, I Meant What I Said, Don't Forget, Hufflepuff's Got Your Back." Says Marvolo Firmly.

Marvolo's Initial Herbology Class Was Centered Mostly Around Basic Skills and Equipment, Not Actual Herbs Or Written Essays. But Marvolo Was Right To Form The Group Of Himself, Josephine, and Justin, Since Factions Were Indeed Already Forming. It Would Undoubtedly Prove Helpful In The Future, Having An Alliance With The Famous Potter and Less Famous Weasley Boy. Either Way, Marvolo Was On His Break From Classes, and Found Himself Observing Josephine From The Roof. He Was In His Animagus Form.
