The sunlight shone through a crack in the window turning the room a fiery orange, (although it was already a dazzling shade of orange from all the Chudley Cannons décor to begin with.) Harry, Ron and Hermione, were all heaped together in a pile on the floor. Robin feathers were strewn about the room, and Ron had a small cut above his right eye. Harry glanced up and shaded his eyes from the sunlight coming in the window. It had not worked. Hermione and Ron looked exactly the same as ever, except for the cut above Ron's eye. Hermione stirred and yawned, and began to laugh hysterically, Harry couldn't figure out why she was pointing and laughing at his head, until he reached up and felt an antler protruding from his shaggy brown hair. He began to laugh too, they laughed so hard that they woke up Ron, who joined in the fun.
"Hermione! Why are we all have animagi and half human?" said Ron.
"Oh, don't you two listen to anything I say?" Hermione replied. "It takes 7 hours after we drink it until we can actually transfigure into animagi."
"You NEVER said that," Ron yelled.
Harry suddenly realized that there were only ten more minutes until 7 o'clock. "If you two would quiet down so we don't wake anyone, then we will be fine by the time they get up!"
The next ten minutes seemed to last a lifetime. With five to go Ron cracked open, a box of Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans. With something to do, the minutes passed rapidly.
6:59……..the last minute hung in the air….7:00! The moment the clock changed Ron, Hermione and Harry were suddenly exactly as they were the night before. Even the cut above Ron's eye was gone.
"OK, now all we've got to do is figure out how to make us change back!" Ron said, a little too loudly.
"Its EASY," replied Hermione, "It's the same as turning teapots into turtles."
Ron and Harry gave each other doubtful glances and just as they turned their heads back, a puff of blue smoke remained and a small blue robin sat on the windowsill. It winked at them, which for some reason sent them into fits of laughter. It was even convenient, because Hermione was in no form for yelling at them.
Just as quickly as Hermione changed into a blue robin, she was back, sitting on the orange carpet, looking as stern as usual.
"Are you guys going to be able to do this?" Hermione asked slyly.
Ron gave her an annoyed look, then his face wrinkled into a look of concentration. Soundlessly, a shaggy dog was sitting on the carpet.
"Ron you did it!" Hermione exclaimed excitedly. "Your turn Harry."
Harry was unsure, but he closed his eyes, and concentrated hard on becoming Prongs. A few seconds later, he opened his eyes, and looked down at his arms, they were now large stag hoofs! Harry was amazed that this had actually worked, and that he had actually been able to turn into a stag.
"All right, we're good!" Ron said. "Let's go get some breakfast."
Hermione and Harry were in agreement, they put the supplies from last night away in Ron's closet, and headed down stairs where Mrs. Weasley stood with her wand, frying eggs.
