They rushed out of the classroom, and headed for Defense against the dark
arts, commonly known among the students as D.A.D.A. They entered the
classroom; Gabrielle sat next to Morgian, and took her wand out of her
pocket. She couldn't wait; her whole body was rushing with energy. They
were actually dueling. Professor Gurrow announced what they were doing
that day, and started pairing everyone up. She started calling names and
their partners, and stopped after she said Gabrielle's. Apparently, she
didn't know who was at Gabrielle's level straight away, but then she said
"James Potter."
Finally she thought, this'll be fun. She got up out of her seat, and
smiled at Morgian. They all walked to the middle of the room, as instructed
by Professor Gurrow. She moved all the desks to the side of the room,
leaving an open space in the middle for them to duel. Gabrielle recited a
couple of spells in her head, and turned around to find James smiling at
her. They found a corner for them to duel and they both took out their
wands. They walked up to each other, shook hands and did a cool swishy
thing with their wands, making it seem like their wands were swords and
they were getting ready for battle. Before they started Gabrielle told
James
"Don't you dare take it easy on me" and they started. They both started at the same instant, sending brightly colored sparks at each other. They cancelled each other out, and went in opposite ends of the room. Gabrielle ducked from hers, which bounced of a mirror in the room. She shot another at him, but he blocked it before it hit him, then she shot another at James, and it hit him.
"Your taking it easy on me!" she said. Then she tried ten times harder than before and hit him with two spells. He blocked both and shot two back at her, which she blocked as well. They were shooting spells at each other, back and fourth, with none of them making any progress. They made their way to the back of the room. Making objects fly at one another and shooting curses at one another. They were jumping on and off of chairs in the room; not paying attention what else was going on. They both wanted to beat the other. By this time they were hurling themselves across the room, running, dodging and shouting spells at each other. Gabrielle showed no sign of loosing energy; she just kept going and going. Half way through their duel, the students watched them, mainly to keep from being slammed into the wall because of one of them, as Peter almost had. And he was barely hit by both James and Gabrielle, but was pulled away by Sirius and Remeus before he was. Everyone was laughing, gasping and even screaming at all the right parts. Then the bell to go to lunch interrupted them. James and Gabrielle were still fighting; oblivious to the fact that time was passing, and that there were other things to do. Morgain, Shannon, and Jamie went for Gabrielle while Sirius, Peter and Remeus went to stop James. All three of the girls shot Gabrielle with three different curses, Gabrielle would normally have struggled to fight longer, but a fatigue crept over her very last limb and she did not move. They took off all the curses and helped her limp body up. The boys did very much the same thing (they had all planned it together) James plopped to the floor and didn't move either. They all went to the Grand hall for lunch. Gabrielle fell asleep at the table in the grand hall; she looked more innocent than she had in days. By now, everyone knew about the duel her and James had, but now she enjoyed a dreamless sleep without care or worry. She was smiling. Everyone around her was talking. James contributed little to the conversation, he was as tired as Gabriele, but tried not to fall asleep. He feared his face would fall into the butter on the table if he did sleep. He smiled when he saw Gabrielle sleeping, he wasn't surprised because she didn't talk much when they came into the Grand hall from Defense against the dark arts, and when she did she would yawn. Maybe I can sleep in transfiguration today, he thought.
Everyone piled into transfiguration class. Gabrielle had made sure James would have a rematch with her next Defense against the dark arts class. Now, she was bouncy, happy and very much awake. She sat at her seat next to Jamie and Shannon, in the middle of the room. They were all talking and suddenly the class's talking died down. There was a tabby on the Professors desk. They all looked curiously at it, and it turned out to be Professor McGonagall. She stood up in front of the class and started her lecture.
"Becoming an amigi is very hard work, and you must register yourself with the ministry." She said after an introduction. "Does anyone know how they recognize you when you are registered?" Gabrielle raised her hand, she knew this all too well. The Professor picked her and smiled at her, all the teachers knew she was an amigi, especially Professor McGonagall. She was the one who helped her use her "gift". "When you register you give in traits that the animal has, and there's a spell you can use to make a person in their amigi to turn back into a person."
"Yes and that spell is fidusa forma." Professor McGonagall added. She scowled James and Sirius because they were talking, Gabrielle was surprised to see that James no longer look tired but exited about something, and he was writing something down on a piece of parchment.
"Pettigrew! Tell me, what department of the ministry of magic controls the amigi files?"
"I-I don't know," he said quietly.
"I'm not surprised," she mumbled to herself, "I'd advise you to pay attention and find out." She explained how to register and after a while, looked at Gabrielle. "We have a natural amigus in this classroom, and I wonder if she would like to show us what she can do." The classroom went stiff. Only Jamie and Shannon were the ones in the classroom that knew she was an amigus. They looked at her, while the rest of the class looked around to see who it was. Only Gabrielle looked to the front of the room at McGonagall. She stood up thinking;
I wanted to make it a secret, So much for spying on James. She walked to the front of the room, no one was too surprised, but they were only surprised that they haven't found out about it earlier.
Wow, this should be a record: Most rumors about someone in a couple of days.
"Well, what should I do?" She asked openly to Professor McGonagall. She was her favorite teacher, and it was obvious Gabrielle was her favorite student. Gabrielle like to keep people form knowing this, but thing seemed to always seep out. James, Sirius, Peter, and Remeus were looking at her surprised.
"What about a dove" Sirius looked at her, saying it sarcastically. He knew. He knew she had spied on them. She looked away from him. Professor McGonagall looked at Gabrielle. Some students raised their hands.
"Call on someone Gabrielle."
"Er. Quigley."
"So you can change into any animal?" He said, amazed.
"Er. Yes."
"Lets see then," James said edging her on
"What do you want me to turn into?" Different people said different things. So McGonagall but in,
"How about a couple of things, whatever you can think of." Gabrielle nodded and turned into an owl. And flew around the room, then a monkey. Everyone laughed, she climbed up onto McGonagall's desk and sat down and turned into a mouse. Some girls screamed, so then she turned into a rabbit. Then she turned into a golden retriever, and jumped off the desk. She chased after her tale, and stopped when she felt a weird sensation, and turned into her human self again. The professor used the spell they talked about earlier. She stood in front of the room. She blushed,
"You were having too much fun," McGonagall said I answer to the spell she had just cast on her, and she motioned for her to sit down. Everyone looked at her, most were smiling, but James, and Sirius were eyeing her. "Can anyone tell me what was similar in all of the animals Gabrielle transformed into?" The professor trailed off.
"Nice job" Jamie whispered to Gabrielle when she sat next to her. "But what was up with the dove bit Sirius said?" Gabrielle gave a nervous smile.
"I've been using my powers a lot lately," she whispered back, Shannon and Jamie were confused so she added "I'll explain later."
"They all had light blonde fur, exactly the color of her hair," a student from Hufflepuff said.
"Exactly," Professor McGonagall said, and the bell sounded, and all the students filed out of the classroom, everyone was off to dinner. She found James and his friends. They had to settle some scores.
"How much do you know? " Sirius said. He was angry, Gabrielle could tell, she wasn't afraid; she was too self-confidant to be afraid of him. It could bad thing, but who knows?
"Enough." she answered. They headed for the grand hall but walked to a deserted hallway; away from the rest of the school. Sirius gave her a mean look.
"How much is enough?"
"Don't you dare take it easy on me" and they started. They both started at the same instant, sending brightly colored sparks at each other. They cancelled each other out, and went in opposite ends of the room. Gabrielle ducked from hers, which bounced of a mirror in the room.
