Twin Power
Chapter Fifteen: A Friend Forever
Alex and Nichole Potter were sitting in the Gryffindor common room doing there essay report for Professor Weasley's transfiguration homework. They were sitting there quietly reading up on changing needles into toothpicks and back again. They were asked to give 3 feet of parchment on the practicality and uses of this spell. They each had about a foot and a half done, and were now going over their books and notes on what they might have missed.
"Darn it sis, I give up, I don't think I can come up with another reason for the use of this spell other than what we have already come up with. Knowing our professor, she probably had six feet in her first year, and had another three feet of parchment on just her notes. Who do you think we can get to help us with this?" Alex was asking his sister yet again the same question, and she was beginning to believe that he was right.
"I don't know Alex, I just can't find anymore our either. Why don't we look at each other's and see if there is anything that is different between the two?" She and Alex exchanged parchments, and found that when they had combined the two, they were still a half a foot short on the subject. "I know who we can ask, let's go ask Grandpa, he seemed to be one of the better Transfiguration students during his years at the school, or was it Grandma. I don't know, maybe we should ask both of them. I'm sure that we can get Bryce to come with us to ask them, or instead we can check his work out to see what he has down." The walked up to their uncle, and asked him if he could help them. When they compared notes and homework with him, they noticed that he was stuck also, and they still were a half a foot short.
On their way out of the Gryffindor common room, they ran into the rest of there friends who were all having troubles, so they all went on the way to the Potters Quarters. When they got there, Alex knocked on the portrait door, because they weren't supposed to come straight in when they brought friends with them. Lily Potter opened the door, and ushered the students into the common area and asked if they would like some tea?
They all thanked her, and as she was going to get the tea ready, James walked in. "How may I help you all this fine day? Let me guess, Professor Weasley has given you a big Transfiguration assignment, and you need our help with it. You are all stuck with it, and can't figure out anything else to put on your papers. Well let us look at it, and maybe we can give some pointers." Once each Lily and James got a copy of their parchments, they spent the next 20 minutes looking them over and having a chuckle over what these first years have come up with.
"Well first thing, you have all come up with some good ideas, and some good theories. I would suggest that you expand on the idea you have in using it for trickery, and mayhem. Maybe some more on the home aspect of it also. You have some great ideas, expand on them, and you will be able to get the rest of the assignment done." The students thanked the Potters, and went back to their common room to finish it up. They found that they were able to add another foot to their assignment with just the suggestions they were given. When they got them done, they turned them in, and all got perfect scores on them.
