Lily Evans, James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew walked down the hall and climbed up into the Divination room. It was the second day of sixth year.

The teacher, whose name, oddly enough, was Wuggles, was sitting at his desk eating a carrot.

"Hello students." He said, speaking a little like the Duke in Muline Rouge. "Today . . . where is everyone else?"

"They probably got lost." James said, taking a seat.

"Lost?" Wuggles asked, nibbling annoyingly at the carrot like a rabbit. "They've had this class for three years!"

"Well, we got lost last year . . ." Remus reminded him.

"You only came to class about twice the whole year!" Wuggles replied.

"We got lost except for twice the whole year." Sirius shouted, bouncing around signing the Tigger song.

"There is no need to shout." Wuggles said glaring at him and eating a piece of lettuce.

The one other member of Gryfindor for the Marauder's year, a boy named Ken who never told anyone his name for a good reason entered the room. The Marauder's called him Kahn because that was the closest thing they could manage.

"Hi." He said and sat down far away from them. He was not a happy boy.

The rest of the class, the Slytherins, came in and sat down. The class consisted of Severus Snape, Evan Rosier, Avery, Lucius Malfoy, triplets called Will, Bill and William who always spoke at the same time, Narcisa, a girl who was probably a squib called Nangela who called herself Angela, Jeremy Mead, Nangela's boyfriend who was really in Hufflepuff but pretended not do be, Nancy, another Sytherin girl, Jimmy, who was a seventh year who had taken extra classes the other years and didn't have any, Crabb and Goyle who could only say "Duh" in different ways, and Nott, a fourth year who wanted to meet the dark lord sooner than he might be able to otherwise so always took their classes. There were a lot more of these then there were Gryfindors.

"Right." Wuggles said nibbling a turnip. "Today we will visit the great . . ."

"The great what?" Snape asked, getting bored.

"Treeeee!" Wuggles cried dramatically.

"The great tree?" The triplets said. "Cool!"

"What's so great about a tree?" Remus asked. That was what most people were thinking.

"Does it talk?" Sirius asked, thinking of, well, some tree that talks.

"Does it kill people?" Peter asked, sounding nervous.

"You wish." Wuggles snorted, which made Peter somewhat alarmed because he defiantly did not with that.

"So what does it do?" Lucius asked, dazing and thinking about something.

"It is what give those of us with the inner eye our powers." Wuggles explained.

"I thought everyone had the inner eye . . ." Lily thought about it.

"No." Said Wuggles. "When you touch the tree, you get the inner eye."

"I already have it." Rosier told everyone for the nth time. "My inner eye will speak to me any day now."

"You're not psychic!" Everyone else yelled.

"How is an eye going to talk to you anyway?" Nancy asked, rolling hers. "Shouldn't it just show you things?"

"Yeah, what Nancy said." Avery chimed in. He was in love with Nancy, which she and everyone around them found very annoying.

"Shut up, everyone." Wuggles told them all. "We will now go out into the forest."

"You mean the forbidden one?" Snape asked.

"Of course, there aren't any others around here." Sirius told him.

"I know that!" Snape snapped. "I'm just trying to make the forbidden point here. We're not supposed to go out there."

"Oh come on." Narcisa said, speaking in a very valley girl way. "You know you go out there, like, all the time."

"How would you know?" He asked her.

"I watch you." She sighed. "I just thought, you know, if you got depressed, like the time you tried to kill yourself, I could . . . make it better."

"Make it better?" James laughed. "Geez, and you complain when we say you're just slutty."

"That is a bad word!" Wuggles shouted at him, throwing his cabbage away and grabbing a bar of soap. He stuck it in James mouth, who choked and spit it out.

"What was that for?" Lily asked.

"I was cleaning out his mouth." Wuggles replied.

"With a whole bar of soap?" Jimmy asked, jumping down from the counter he had been sitting on. "That's gross."

"You only think that because you're a bloody vampire!" Malfoy told him. "You only like blood."

"Another bad word!" Wuggles shouted, jumping at Lucius. He quickly retreated. "You have to take your medicine!"

"Get away from me!" Lucius screamed in a very girly way. "I don't eat soap, I'm a Malfoy!"

The two ran around the room for a few minutes and then both sat down, Lucius with a bar of soap in his mouth.

"We will now," Wuggles panted, "Go out to the tree."

The class marched out to the forest and walked for a while. They then stopped in front of an old, dead pine tree with all kinds of rotting branches coming out off it.

"Now," Wuggles told them, "You will touch the tree and you will acquire the inner eye. I will leave you now to befriend the tree. Remember to respect it. I will be watching from a great distance."

"Anything you say." Remus said, already climbing up into the tree. "Hey you guys, this old thing is pretty good for climbing."

James and Sirius followed. Lily stayed on the ground, looking nervous and absentmindedly patting the tree. Peter looked scared and started to climb as well.

"Remember to 'respect the tree'." Snape mocked Wuggles, also starting to climb. Some people stayed on the ground, others climbed it.

"Right." James said. "I just knocked a branch off, you guys."

"It was dead anyway." Sirius told him, knocking a few off on purpose. Wuggles yelled at them to respect the tree from a great way away.

Both Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students from their year walked up. "We were sent down here!" One yelled. A branch hit him in the head. A few more unfortunate events and an all-out brawl broke out.
