Author's Note: Okay, this story is back off of HIATUS!!! Woohoo!! Unfortunately, I couldn't make the chapter too long. I cut it where I thought it would make a good cut, so yeah...oh, and a thank yoou goes out to all my fabulous reviewers who understood when I went on Hiatus!!
Disclaimer: I am not J.K. Rowling, nor have I ever dressed up as her, or forged her signature, etc. (don't look at me like I'm odd...)...
Dimidium Bestia
Charlotte looked at Fred and George.
"We'd love to." Fred said causing Mae and Era's faces to brighten up. "But, we don't have any extra. The potion was wicked hard so we made the bare minimum."
"Oh, okay then." Era said disappointed, she didn't dare look to see how Mae was reacting.
"Plus, you guys, it isn't safe. We're letting Charlotte and Alexis do it because Alexis helped us brew the potion, and Charlotte found the spell to work it, and we're afraid of her." Fred said.
Charlotte hit Fred on the arm.
"We don't fear you Charlotte." George said in a mock voice of fear.
"I do." Fred seriously said.
"Why?" Charlotte asked in an intimidating voice.
Fred whimpered up a bit and George and Era began laughing.
"Guys, I'm sorry, but we really don't have enough. We were worried about the danger of the potion. If you mess it up, you can die. We were just trying to get a non-lethal amount for ourselves." Alexis said causing everyone to look at her.
"When did you get smart?" Mae asked.
"I didn't." Alexis said. "I just randomly inserted words that I overheard Lily using in DADA. Wow, did they really sound ambiguous?"
The group laughed.
"Wrong word Sprinkles." Charlotte said.
"Oh, well what does ambiguous mean then?" Alexis asked.
Charlotte, Era, Fred, and George shrugged their shoulders.
"Having more than one meaning or interpretation." Mae said.
The group looked at her.
"What?" She asked. "While you all were sitting at home on your lazy asses, I was taking classes. And believe it or not, I was the smart one in my school, so I took an extra class. It was a vocabulary class. Don't look at me like that, I like to learn, but like Charlotte and Alexis, it isn't my life." Mae said in a haughty tone.
Charlotte rolled her eyes. "Like Sprinkles being smart, it is a shocker that you have paid attention in class and been the smarter one."
Mae stuck her tongue out.
"Just tellin' it like it is."
The six stood there awkwardly.
"So, we're gonna go." Charlotte said as she, Fred, George, and Alexis headed off to the castle and to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom.
"TRAITOR!" Era and Mae yelled at them. The two girls turned and began walking towards the owlry.
Charlotte and Co. finally made it into Myrtle's bathroom. "Okay, now Alexis, get the potion."
Alexis scrambled to a nudge in the wall where they were hiding their potion. "Got it."
Charlotte grabbed the book she had checked out from the library on animangi. Flipping to page 187, she looked at the directions of becoming one. She could tell this book had been in the Restricted Section for a reason.
"Okay, now we each drink one cup of it, and right after words, we say the spell.
Alexis, Fred, and George nodded, each taking a cup, they filled it to the top.
"Not pleasant looking is it?" George asked.
Alexis turned to George, eyes wide. "I did exactly what the book said to do!"
George held his hands up. "Okay, okay, okay." He sighed. "You're becoming more like Charlotte everyday."
Charlotte glared at her ginger cousin.
"It's true."
"Shut up. Oh, and the spell, for it is Dimidium Bestia."
The three nodded. "Should we separate in case our animals are big?" George asked.
Charlotte thought for a minute. "I think we should, just in case we mess up or that junk, we can get a hang of it by ourselves." She looked around. "Alexis, Fred, you two take different stalls. George, go to that corner, and I'll try transforming behind the sink."
The three nodded and poured the brown and bubbling potion into their tankards. They went to their spots.
"Bottoms up." Charlotte called from behind the sink and they all drank the potion.
"Dimidium Bestia." Each group member spoke.
Charlotte concentrated extremely hard on the spell and transforming, a minute later she looked down at herself to see a shock.

"Moaning Myrtle's bathroom?" Era asked questioning.
Mae nodded. "That's where they said, let's go look and see if they managed."
Era looked at her. "Fine, but only cause I'm bored and the owlry is closed."
The two girls made their way to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. As they went to open the door, Myrtle appeared outside of it.
"You should see what's going on in there." Her dreamy, yet incredibly scary voice said.
Era and Mae looked at each other for a split second and charged into the bathroom. The two stopped in their tracks as they entered.
"Oh my." Era said for she and Mae were looking at a monkey, a fox, a weasel, and a white fox.
"Genius." Mae responded.
Author's Note: Okay, now it was short I know, but I wanted to stop there. Oh, and Dimidium Bestia means half animal in Latin, so that's where I made the spell up of...oh, and people, on my profile, I've made character bios for the Characters in this story, try checking them out. (So far I got Charlotte, Alexis, and Era up, and they're pretty cool).
