The Transfiguration: Year 5

By Sarah Hount

Chapter 2

Hermione woke Sarah up without notice. "We have to go to breakfast! Hurry!"
Sarah jumped up, put on her clothes, went down into the common room, and slammed right into a boy. "Hi!" He said.
"Hi, Neville. Really, I'm sorry, but I got to go now. I'm late!" She started to run off with Hermione, but stopped. "Wait, why are you here?"
She turned around but he wasn't there. "Neville? Neville?" Sarah crept up the staircase leading to the boy's room.
"Neville..." she whispered as she walked into the door. Something landed on her leg. She screamed. It was Trevor, Neville's toad. Neville peered out from under the bed, frightened to death. "Sarah? What are you doing here?" He looked at what she screamed at. "Trevor!! There you are!" He picked him up and looked at her. "I always seem to lose him."
Sarah remained silent. She stood there for a moment looking around and sped out the door.
She ran into the Great Hall, panting. Everyone was looking at her. She blushed, embarrassed and walked to the Gryffindor table.
"Where have you been?" Jennifer asked. Sarah told her about it.
Jennifer smiled seeing the worried expression on Sarah's face. "Don't worry. I won't tell anyone." Sarah spotted Malfoy looking at Jennifer.
"No, it's not that. I think...Malfoy might like you. Look over there."
Jennifer looked over to where Draco was sitting. "No, he doesn't. He didn't even look at me. What are you talking about? He hates Gryffindors." Jennifer said laughing.
"Ok, whatever you say..." Sarah said with a chuckle.
"Hi, everyone!" It was Daphne.
"Why are you so late?" Jennifer asked suspiciously.
"Oh, I had to go to the library to study before I go to Potions. I don't want to be a fool and don't know the concepts."
Jennifer and Sarah smiled to each other. Hermione and Daphne were so much alike and they liked her that way.
"Ok, we better go." Sarah said.
"I'll see you later! Bye!" Daphne waved.
***
They had Transfiguration first. Sarah sat by Jennifer in the front. She was always fascinated with the class.
"Tomorrow, I want 1 scroll on how you can transfigure a rabbit into a goose."
Ron groaned. Sarah smiled. Fresh new start... she thought.

After all her classes Sarah headed back to the common room to do her homework for next Monday. She spotted Heidi Webster. "Hi Heidi. How'd all your classes go?"

"Ok, too much homework for the first day. Good thing is that we have a whole weekend to do it and I have a Quidditch game tomorrow!! I'm so excited!"

"Wicked! I can't wait to see you play!" Sarah knew how much this meant to her. "Who is it against?"
"Slytherin...I know, tough, but we can still do it. I know it! Oliver is such a good captain! I have to go now though. Bye! See you back in the common room!"

"I'm going there now!" Sarah said.

They headed back to the common room together when a tiny fairy with sparkly wings flew up to Sarah's ear. "I have a wonderful message!"

Sarah screamed. "Who was that?"
"What?" Heidi said confused.

The fairy flew in front of the two girls. "I have a wonderful message!" She said in a tiny voice.

Jennifer and Hermione came up to them. "Hi!" Jennifer said. She looked at the fairy. "Oh, hi Rose." She took the paper from her with her thumb and index finger because it was so small. "Ada nuhemi!" It grew larger. Even Hermione looked amazed.
The fairy looked disappointed. "You ruined the wonderful fun!" She flew away.
Sarah stared at Jennifer then at the paper. "What does it say, Jen?" Jennifer gave the paper to her. "Rose came up to me, this morning in the common room. She scared me too!" Sarah, Heidi, and Hermione looked at the paper.

MAGICAL BALL

Professor Dumbledore is proud to present Hogwart's Magical Ball on November 15th. It will be very formal and will have tons of food. There will also be a surprise on that night. It will be after all your classes. Thank you. ~Rose~


"It's so little!" Sarah said after Jennifer returned it to its original size.
"I know! I was trying to read it and Rose laughed so hard. She made it larger and I remembered the spell." Jennifer said with a sly look on her face.

"This will be interesting, but I can't worry about that right now. Tomorrow is the Quidditch game and I have to make a good impression on the audience, let alone the other team." Heidi said looking worried as she started to walk back.

"Oh, good luck!" Hermione said as Harry and Ron walked over.

"Hi, did you hear about the Magical Ball?" Harry asked. "Oh Heidi!"

Heidi turned around. "Good luck on the game tomorrow!" Harry shouted remembering what it felt like on his first game.

"Thanks! You too!" Still looking worried.
