Chapter VI

Down the corridors they went. "We should learn all of the corridors and shortcuts," said James. "Then we can sneak around all night." Added Sirius. As they walked further towards Transfiguration, they met Andromeda.

"How are you Sirius?" she asked immediately. "Fine" Answered Sirius. "On the second day of school you already received a howler!" she exclaimed. "I do my best to annoy her." He replied coolly. "Get to class you slackers!" she said. "We are but where are you headed?" Sirius asked. In reply, Andromeda winked and disappeared through a tapestry.

"Where do you think she's going?" Asked Peter in a hurry. Sirius merely snickered in reply. "Is she gonna skip class?" asked Peter again. "Ha" Laughed Sirius.

Moments later, they had reached Professor McGonagall's classroom. James sat by Sirius and Peter sat next to Remus with a disappointed look on his face. Professor McGonagal was a young but strict teacher. James knew he would have to partially behave during her class. But at that very moment, it was difficult because Sirius was whispering in his ear. "Hey James, when will we be able to turn Snape into a frog?" James chortled softly.

"Well clearly what I have to say is not nearly as important as what Black and Potter have to say." James was very confused. How did she already know his name? But McGonagall seemed to know what he was thinking. "Yes of course I know your names. Potter I went to school with your parents and Black I was vaguely acquainted with your father but not your mother. Did she go to school here?" she asked. "Nope." He answered quickly. "Well where did she go?" she asked. "Beauxbatons." He retorted.

"I didn't know your mum went to Beauxbatons!" exclaimed Peter. "Can she speak Spanish?" "No Peter, my mom can't speak Spanish." Said Sirius. "Really? How did she communicate?" asked Peter. "She spoke French dumb ass because Beauxbatons is in France." Sirius replied in a hurry. James knew that he didn't like to talk about his family.

Peter couldn't take that hint though. "You don't have to get so upset Sirius. France is not that bad. It could have been the Netherlands." At this point Remus exploded "Hey! I'm Dutch Peter! Just shut up while you're ahead." Sirius added, "Yeah! Besides it doesn't matter where the hell you come from. 'All that matters is what kind of blood you have.' As my father would say. I don't want to talk about my damn family anymore! Does everyone get it?"
