Chapter 6: Charms
Splat!
A clump of oatmeal fell on Lily's head. That was too much for the little girl, who began to cry. She sat down, weeping, and Dumbledore smiled as he reached down and gathered the little girl in his arms.
"Shh, dear, it's ok. Everything will be fine," he told her.
After he had gotten Lily calmed down, he summoned Savannah and asked her to take Lily to clean her off. Then, he got up and scolded the three boys.
Finally, He summoned Ruby and Sapphire to his room.
"Well, Ladies, I have a job for you. We need Lily and the otherthree boys to still attend classes; however we don't really know what they remember and what they don't. Will you please help the teachers keep an eye on them today?"
The twins looked at him, then nodded.
"Gladly, Professor Dumbledore," Sapphire replied."
"We're right with you," Ruby agreed.
A little later, Lily and the boys were with Sapphire, Ruby, Savannah, and Peter, who were leading them by hand to charms class. Right around the corner, a very sneaky Slytherin watched them before quickly running into an empty classroom.
He threw something into the fire and spoke quite clearly, "Carrie Klein"
A woman's head appeared in the flames. "Have you anything of interest for me, Mr. Snape?"
"Yes, Ma'am!"
"Well?"
"Peter Pettigrew has transformed four of his classmates into six year olds."
"Why should this interest me?"
"One of them, Miss Lily Evans is playing Amazing Grace tonight for the school.
The rest are causing mischief around the school, yet are also still expected to attend classes."
"Well, maybe I'll come to this performance…you better hope this is worth it."
During class, Professor Flitwick started to teach the older kids a new spell, while giving the four six year olds some toys to play with in the back of the room. The twins quickly forgot that they were to be watching the four kids and focused on their lesson.
But, unbeknownst to the class, the kids got a hold of Cassandra Mitchell's wand. She was sleeping and didn't notice a thing when Remus climbed onto Sirius's back and pulled it out of her pocket.
Suddenly, a beam of violet light burst through the classroom, right towards Peter and next thing everyone knew, in Peter's spot sat a small, confused, furry little brown monkey.
"Eeek! Eeeek!" Peter, the monkey, squealed, further distracting the already distracted class. Professor Flitwick was turning red in the face with fury. The boys were causing more trouble by casting odd spells about the room. Flitwick turned purple when Remus cast a spell at him intentionally. Flitwick, who didn't like little children too much, started yelling. Savannah jumped up and wrestled the wand from Remus, thus ending the bout of spells.
"GET THESE CHILDREN OUT OF HERE!" Flitwick yelled just as Dumbledore walked in.
"What is going on in here?" the headmaster asked, calmly as Savannah started removing the spells that the troublesome boy caused.
Remus starts blubbering, trying to defend himself. Dumbledore interrupted the child, "You have to stay away from wands; you're too young." He turned to look at the other three. "You're all too young. You have to do what the adults tell you to do."
The next few minutes found the four of them grumbling about being too little for everything and the spells being reversed. A very befuddled Peter emerged from the monkey form, and asked, "What happened?"
