transfigurations

10:15 a.m.

Malfoy came up to me before class started and asked me how I felt.

I said "Nygggh."

Apparently to him that meant "fine" cause he said, "Good to hear." and walked away.

After he had left Aly and Al started at me like I was a staring at thing.

"What?!" I asked. Maybe if I acted dumb. . .

"Don't what me." Aly whispered.

"What was that all about?" Al pointed to where Scorpius was sitting.

I smacked his hand down. "Don't point, he'll see. He just wanted to see how I was. I mean he did walk me to the hospital wing the other day." What was I being so defensive? It was Malfoy for Merlin's sake.

Aly wasn't convinced. "Yeah, well what was with the answer you gave him. 'Nygggh.' What in the name of pants was that?"

"He surprised me! I wasn't expecting him to be there."

They continued to stare at me so I just started taking notes.

9:45 p.m.

Meet the gang in the common room to figure out the parchment from Uncle Harry.

We were huddled around the paper when Hugo came to annoy us.

"Are you four up to no good again?"

I rolled my eyes. "Relax troll breath, we're not going to blow the school up."

"Wait, wait, wait," James flapped his hands (looking quite foolish is you ask me). "Hue, say that again. Watch the paper."

We all looked at the paper as Hugo repeated himself. As soon as he said "up to no good" the parchment began to shake.

"Whoa," Hugo said, "What is that? Is that the map our parents always talk about?"

"You mean the one that shows everything going on in Hogwarts?" Aly asked him.

He nodded.

"Holy hippogriff! We need to figure out how to open this thing!"

10:25

Still haven't figured out the words to open the map.

So far we've got "I swear that I am up to no good." Whenever someone said that the entire map would appear for about five seconds then it would vanish.

We were so frustrated, we started saying anything.

"I swear that I am really up to no good." I said.

Nothing.

James tried. "I swear that I am up to no good, please open."

Nothing.

Al. "I double swear that I am up to no good"

Nothing.

Aly screamed out, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good!"

We looked at her like he had seven heads. James said, "I solemnly swear? Why would you say that?"

Before she had a chance to answer Al said, "Wait! Guys look, the map stayed. I think we figured it out!"

He was right, the map was staying! Success!!

James was so excited he hugged Aly and said, "I could kiss you!"

She turned bright red and went "Huunng."

A/N: Figured I would upload two at once cause I wont be uploading for a while. Huge project coming up.
