Chapter Three: Why ME?
'Advanced Transfigurations why do they torture us like this?' Sara asked as they sat down. She said this loud enough for Professor McGonagall to hear her.
'Oh come on Sara, It could be Advanced Potions.' Mayda commented loudly also.
'True but we have that next. I'm telling you the school hates us.'
'Now Miss White why would you say such a thing? And besides that I thought we agreed last year that you were going to drop my class. I seem to remember that after you turned my Animagi self into a lizard you saying that you would kindly drop Transfiguration this year.'
Professor McGonagall said as she looked up from her desk. For all her talk McGonagall loved Sara, Lily, and Mayda. She always looked the other way when they got revenge on the Marauders, once she even told them of how to get into their dorm without using the staircase just to shave their heads. (Hey, it was provoked; Sirius beat up Mayda's boyfriend till he 'decided' to dump Mayda. So the Marauders had it coming to them.)
Sara didn't take McGonagalls comments personally; instead she just smiled wickedly and said. 'I know Professor but come on, you know I make class 'interesting'. Without me you would be falling asleep with all these brains in one class.'
'Whatever you say White. Just don't try anymore 'extra credit', please I beg you.'
See the whole Professor McGonagall/Cat to lizard was supposed to be the extra credit. Unfortunately for Sara it doomed her grade instead because it took three days to figure out what she did to turn her back.
'Oh come on McGonagall you know that like my presence my extra credit gives meaning to your life.'
'You call this life, I call it hell on earth.'
'Hey Minerva you wanta teach the class now.' Sirius said for his seat in the back of the class.
'Actually Mr. Black you can help be my example.' McGonagall said with a sweet smile. Class today we are turning Mr. Black into a tree like so.. HecGoto' there was a loud pop and the Sirius turned into a cherry tree.
Lily, Sara, and Mayda burst into applause, Julie and all the other girls in the class shrieked with horror, and the Marauders (all of them who weren't cherry trees) fell out of their seats laughing.
'Okay now back to our real lesson.' McGonagall said as she walked to her desk. 'We will be borrowing some Unicorns from Professor Kettleburn and will be turning them into dogs. This is especially tricky because we are working with magical creatures and no magical powers can be transferred into the dog shape. So let us be off down to the grounds.' And McGonagall turned on her heals and walked towards the door.
'Uh Professor?'
'What Mr. Pettigrew?'
'Are you going to change Sirius back?'
'Oh of course. Reformas And Black next time you address me by my first name I'll leave you as a tree. Come class.'
'Hey Padfoot, I think I liked you better as a tree.'
'Shut it Prongs!'
******************
Half way through class James made his way towards where Lily was transforming her Unicorn into a small fluffy dog and then back into a unicorn.
'They're Pretty aren't they?' James said as he ran his hands over the unicorn's shiny mane. Oddly enough James and Sirius were probably the only boys unicorns let touch them.
Lily looked a James sharply, not only had he not just hit on her but he also hadn't deepened his voice or ruffled his hair when talking to her.
'What do you want Potter? If your looking to give help I don't need it.'
'Oh come on Evens I wouldn't try and give you help. You'd probably hex me like you do when I stick up for you.' Women how come they aren't part of the care for magical creatures curriculum? Hmmmm must speak to Kettleburn about that one.
'I can take care of myself James Potter. I don't need some stuck up little boy who thinks he's a hero going around and protecting me.'
'Who's the little kid here? You're the one who has a problem accepting help. Mrs. I'm-perfect-and-you-know-it'
'I don't have a problem accepting help from everyone just from YOU and your little followers witch by the way could us your help right now.' Lily pointed to Peter who had just turned his Unicorn into a dog with a horn and one hoof and three paws.
McGonagall's voice could be heard asking God Why. As she attempted to turn the (well lets just call it 'thing') into either a dog or a unicorn. 'Peter I thought you said you weren't going to take my class either.' Only this time she meant it. Peter was the worst thing that ever happened to Advanced Transfigurations.
James watched the scene for a moment then turned back to Lily. 'Come on Lily, I wasn't trying to make fun of you, well... maybe the I'm perfect comment was but the rest wasn't.'
Lily didn't say anything instead she just walked away, more then a little confused. But with the 'bathroom incident' still in mind she was in no mood to listen to James. So James walked back over to his friends.
'That didn't look to good.'
'Thanks Moony you're SO observant.'
'Well come on Prongs you probably should of waited till she had calmed down about this morning.'
'Ya that would have been smart.'
'Well that's why you didn't do it Prongsy.'
'Thank you Sirius your SO helpful. Speaking of Helpful weren't you supposed to look after Wormtail?'
'Okay it's not my fault he has ten thumbs. No one could keep that boy out of trouble with Minerva.' Sirius said the last word with a wicked smile.
'You must really have liked being a cherry tree.'
'Well I could tell everyone was admiring my beautiful blossoms.' Sirius said as he primped his hair.
'Sure we were....that was in between contemplating cutting you down before McGonagall turned you back.'
'Oh Remie you would do that to you ol' buddy?'
'hmm let me think about that...yes. Yes I would.'
***********
'Sara the incantation is reVEnta not revENTA. So Lily, James started a normal conversation with you?'
'Ya it was pretty creepy, I thought I was talking to an alien or something, but then he told me I was stuck up I knew it was Potter. What is it with that guy?'
'You know some people should just not be aloud out of their homes.'
'Hear, Hear!'
'Like Sara here.'
'Hey I'm on your side here.'
'Ya until Remus looks at you.'
'LILY I'm gonna kill you!! I do not like LUPIN!'
'And now the whole class knows. Good job big mouth.'
'Hey you provoked me.'
'No I didn't.'
'Yes you did.'
'No'
'Yes'
'NO'
'YES'
'GUYS what did I tell you at breakfast? You two have been acting like five year olds all day.'
'Have not'
Lily just hid her face in her hands and asked the same question as McGonagall.
'WHY ME?'
***********
