Chapter 4

Magical Disguise

Harry found out why he wasn't told about the other relatives other than the Dursley's. For one reason was to keep him from magical people. He would have drawn too much attention to himself. Another reason was to keep Lilly and the Snape twins. All of them faced Lord Voldemort when they were babies. Harry's mother sacrificed herself to save all four of them. Lilly had the same lightning bolt scar as Harry. Sarah had a star in a circle on her left hand. Marcaus had the same marking but on his right hand.

Many rumors were going around, but most of them were true. McGonagall was a few decades older than Snape. So it would be impossible to have children with him. Sarah claimed it was a spell. Marcaus explained to Hermione, Harry, and Ron how the spell worked.

When they got to Transfiguration, they found a young woman teaching. She had brown highlighted bangs like Marcaus. Her eyes were brown and cat-like. She wore square framed glasses. Some of her hair was pulled into a bun when the rest was left alone down her back. Her voice was similar to McGonagall's.

"Hi, Mummy," Sarah said.

"Hello to you, too," the woman responded.

Harry soon noticed this was Professor McGonagall. Her hair no longer had gray in it. Her face and skin didn't have wrinkles in it. Her skin was a bit paler than usual. She still had the strictness in her.

"Yes, students, this is really how I look," McGonagall said, "I use spells to make me look and sound older."

Hermione looked shocked when she heard her favorite professor was pretty young. An owl came through the window. It landed on Sarah's shoulder. This owl was small and white.

"Nooky," McGonagall said.

Sarah took note the note from Nooky. She opened it and read it and her face lightened.

"Sirius has been freed!" Sarah shouted, "They caught Wormtail. Sirius is coming here to Hogwarts. Remus Lupin is coming back, too!"

Harry, Hermione, Lilly, Marcaus, and Ron jumped up with joy. They received strange looks and sat down.

Crash!!! Boom!!!

Two people came tumbling out of the fire. They were tangled up. Harry noticed them as Professor Lupin and Sirius Black. Harry rushed to them. Remus got up and caught McGonagall's eye. They both blushed. Harry was excited to see them both.

A girl came running in. For some reason she was wearing Snape's robes. She was short and had brown hair. She gleaming blue eyes. She ran to McGonagall. Sirius and Lupin started laughing.

"Snape's a girl again!" Sirius chortled.

"Shut up, Black," the girl said in a squeaky voice, "You know it's your fault that you put that curse on me."

"It happened again, Severus?" McGonagall asked.

"Got hit with magic again," Snape said.

"Every time you get hit with magic, you turn into a girl," McGonagall said.
