Thanks Asaake for reviewing!

Chapter 13- McGonagall's Advice

The break was still on and I was still working. Since the students were still away, it was hard to really try out my new image. I was still working though as an equipment manager for the pitch, well more like Oliver. He was always flying and I was always cleaning, go figure.

"Why don't you try talking to your teachers?" He suggested, "Might be good to set things right with them" I shuddered. I was not exactly a favorite among them. They probably talked about me during faculty meetings; today's topic, kill Carmen!

"I don't know Oliver" I said, "They might hex me into oblivion"

"They can't do that" he said reassuringly, "would be too much of a lawsuit" I laughed. Oliver always had a way of making me feel better. I looked up and found myself caught in his large brown orbs. "Can I ask you a question?" he said nervously.

"Yeah" I replied.

"What exactly did your parents do to you?" I sighed. It seemed more like a soap opera.

"Well when I first got in trouble, my parents had to come talk with the principal. They didn't really say much then, but you have to understand my parents are VERY social people. Very smart social people. Having a reject daughter would kill their image. Also as you can see my parents aren't exactly the deepest people either. Anyway when I went back home, I found my room had been completely cleaned out. It was put in a storage unit until I needed it again" I shrugged aimlessly. "They gave me my savings and I went to stay with Cammy"

"What did her parents think?"

"They're not like my parents; they understood." He shook his head.

"I can't imagine being shut out like that"

"Neither could I, but I dealt with it." I looked at my watch. My shift was over. I stood up.

"Well I better be off" He stood with me.

"I'll give you this Carmen, you may be level headed now but you still have the fire you were born with" I pondered on this and decided I needed a word with McGonagall. I walked the halls until I found her.

"Professor" I said meekly half hoping she wouldn't kill me.

"Yes Carmen" she responded.

"May I have a word?"

"Sure let's go into my office" I followed her into the classroom. "So what can I help you with?" she asked from behind her desk.

"I'm having some problems with transfiguration"

"Well I can help you there" And so she did. My latest task was trying to turn a rabbit into a mirror. McGonagall made it look so easy, but unfortunately not. Mine still had ears and a tail. "Just concentrate Carmen" she said.

"That hasn't been so easy lately" I said

"I bet it hasn't" she looked at me intently.

"Carmen, do you really need help with transfiguration?"

"I need help with trying to set things right"

"Ah" I saw her lips form a thin straight line. "I think the hardest part will be readjusting to your fellow students but to make you feel better I suggest you set things right with a certain professor" I nodded. That would be fun.

"Thank you professor for the advice" I stood up to leave.

"And Carmen"

"Yes?"

"Good luck" yeah I would need it.
