Class Notes from a Year 1 Hufflepuff
Hi y'all! These are my notes for all the classes in Year 1, I will be starting with Transfiguration and updating everything as I go along! The notes are mostly the main points and things that are needed to study for the assignments. I have done most of these notes to the best of my ability, so here and I hope this helps! (Some of the notes might not be great because they are probably the first lesson and I was very confused lol)
