Professor McGonagall was beyond angry. In fact, she was livid. At the same time, she was amused. She hadn't liked the new Defence Against the Darks Arts professor either. No one did. However, that did not mean it was it was appropriate to stick his underwear to the ceilings of the passages to the Entrance Hall, where everyone could see them. Those boys...

She had set them to writing lines. I must not stick Professor Symons underwear to the ceilings. McGonagall had also enchanted the door to stay shut no matter what, and they were unable to summon anything from the outside. Not that they would be able to summon anything, they were only first years, but just in case. That Remus Lupin was a smart one...

Inside the classroom, four boys were talking.

"Anyone got any ideas?" asked the shortish, hazel-eyed, black-haired one.

"I might be able to unlock the door," said the anxious, fair-haired one.

"Na, she's sealed it, only she can unlock it... What were you going to try – for future reference?" asked the first boy, called James.

"Well, I was going to see if I could pick the lock," said the second, whose name was Remus.

"You can pick locks? I wish I could do that, would have saved me a lot of trouble, that would," said the third boy, Sirius.

"I know, eh?" agreed James.

"Well, she sealed it magically, maybe we can unlock it if we don't use magic," continued Remus.

The forth boy, Peter, spoke up. "It's worth a shot,". Remus got up from his seat and got out a key ring with hundreds of bent pieces of metal, and a couple of unbent pieces. Remus slid the skeleton keys around the key ring, after a few minutes, Remus got to work. After sticking about twenty of the bent pieces into the lock, he bent one the unbent pieces into shape deftly, to fit the lock. As Remus jiggled the skeleton key in the lock, James, Sirius and Peter watched in fascination. Remus really could pick locks.

Within five minutes, Remus was done, the door was now unlocked, it didn't even squeak! He turned around and smiled at the other boys.

"Nice one!" congratulated James, swinging the door back and forth.

"I've just remembered something!" breathed Sirius, "we should leave a farewell note, so McGonagall knows we haven't been abducted,". So the four crafted a note that would irritate Professor McGonagall for the next 7 years.

McGonagall was hurrying back to her classroom, she'd only been gone ten minutes, but who knew what those boys could get up to in her office in that time! Slowly, Professor McGonagall unenhanced her door. She opened it slowly. There was no one there. How could they possibly gotten out? McGonagall spied a note on her desk.

Dear Professor McGonagall,

We, the undersigned, have found the detention to be inadequate. Therefore we have completed our task and departed. (See attached)

Much love,

James, Sirius, Remus and Peter

McGonagall laughed. Those boys! She smiled to herself.

I'm in for a long seven years thought McGonagall.

Hey everyone! What do you think of my new story? Just to clarify for anyone who hasn't figured it out yet, yes, it is supposed to be this short, they're called moments for a reason. But no offence. Anyone who bothers to read my crap is awesome and deserves to be lavished with money, cars, and mansions. However, I don't have any of this, so you'll have to make do with knowing I am in eternal gratitude to you guys. Deal?

PM me if you have any ideas or want to see a particular moment. - Katie
