Yipe, the pin cushion, gathered his soon to be war councel around him.

" As you all know, for the past few days I have been pressuring everyone to join me in my crusade against the evil wizards. Today we will hear everyones oppinon, then decide what we are going to do." Yipe hadn't always been a pin cushion. Two months ago he had been a happy little hedgehog, carefree and playful. Then, on that dark September afternoon, he and all his buddies had been taken captive and sent to the one place that all animals fear going to if not

under the protection of a student. Hogwarts, school of witchcraft and wizardry. He had heard stories, every young animal in Great Britan had, but yipe had alway dissmissed them as urban legands.They were all stories of painful transformation.

Soon after arriving, he and his friends had been taking to a class, and all the student had taken one hedgehog. When Yipe had seen who had taken him, he had had a bit of hope for the future. It was a nice enough looking boy, that had an unusal shaped scare on his forehead. But soon, Yipe's hopes were crushed. On a command from the teacher, the boy (and the rest of the class) had pointed their wands and then Yipe had been blinded by pain. When he came to, he had found himself squashed in some sort of bin with around 35 of his friends. They all looked odd, as if they had been made out of cloth. Then Yipe remenbered looking down at himself, and realizing that they were all hedgehog shaped pin cushions. "noooooo..." he had screamed.

"...ooooo..." Yipe was back at the councel, where everyone was looking at him oddly and edging slightly away. He shut up and growled, shifting uncomfertably. Why did all his memorys have to be so vivid?

"ummm..." started a young pin cushion

"Never mind." snapped Yipe, "it's time to start the opinions." Over the next few minutes,it was determined that all former hedgehogs hated the wizards for what had been done to them, and wished to exact revenge.

"Does anyone else have something to say?" asked Fengal, Yipe's new best friend (his last friend, Charles, had been the only hedgehog to come out of the class compleatly pin cushion. the student that had taken him was a girl with bushy, brown hair) one small guinea pig tentativly raised her hand. Yipe pointed at her.

"hi, my name's Tobey, and I think that wizards are the nicest people in the world," Fengal motioned to the three strongest pin cushions. " I used to be a guinea fowle, and now I'm a cute, little guinea piggy...ahhhhh!" she was being dragged backwards out of the room.

"Are we all agreed?" Yipe asked, gazing around the room. No one moved. "Good. Now, this side of the room, start making protest signs. The other half, start with the battle plans. Fengal shall be in charge of the weaponry. And I," declared Yipe, grabbing a tri-corn hat and some binoculars, "I shall be General!"
