Shitza: The usual, school, homework... blah, blah, blah. Won't need to say that any more, I hope.

Tári: She's really sorry for the delays of the chapters, but she can't do miracles.

Shitza: This is the most boring chapter I've written for a long time.

Seeeza: Stop that, it's not. Please people, review. We can't stand her simple attitude.

Tári: She hasn't even locked up that cat in her locker for days.

And so, on to the story...

Chapter 12 A Day of Exhaustion

(Minutes before this chapter is really taking place)

The Founders stood by the brim of the forest, waving goodbye to the heirs. What they told them never came into the light for that day, maybe one day it would be shared. For now, the six teens bore wisdom in their heart. A wisdom not yet to be revealed.

There was a flash of strong blinding light. When it had disappeared, so had the Founders. Behind them, the gateway between the two worlds was closed for all eternity.

(Now, we'll begin)

A day couldn't start to be as bad as this was about to be. After a long bight of terror, still the staff of Hogwarts wanted to bring up the usual lessons. So far they may have missed Astronomy, but still... It was a Tuesday morning, they hadn't had any sleep at all. Practically they almost fell out of their chairs during their lessons.

At least they would have an early day and would be allowed to go to bed afterwards. Luckily they didn't have so hard lessons, but they had to begin by 6:35am of Bird Training. It became a total mess. They couldn't even focus on their task, but the more they tried to complain the more their master sneered and gave them a large heap of homework. Not even Cassandra took this lightly, instead she groaned like the rest of them, not sounding like her usual self.

They headed down for breakfast, which when they entered received a huge welcoming banquet. Yet the five heirs and the sorceress were by that hour so tired, they weren't exactly in the mood for a party. So when the feast began and everyone's attention was fixed on other things, all six sneaked away to get some breakfast to the Room of Requirement. No one would notice their lack of appearance until in the end of the party.

"I will be so happy when all of this will be over." Ron said sighing. Cassandra had her head comfortable in his lap, taking some minutes sleep. Hermione had done the same. Ron and Draco didn't seem to bother.

"What's next?" Harry asked Neville, who had his timetable in his hands.

"Advanced transfiguration" the Hufflepuff heir answered.

"Hurray!" Ron exclaimed. "Professor McGonagall isn't here, we'll have tons of time for a nap."

"I'm afraid not, there was a notice on the board outside the Hall. We are going to have someone called Antonio Sanchez today. He's a Spanish substitute for McGonagall." Draco said, pressing back a yawn.

"Oh, no!" Ron said.

"Well, better get ready then. At least I hope he's not as bad as Professor McGonagall. Please don't let him give us that much homework!" Harry said holding his hands as if he was praying to god, or something.

They awoke the girls, who almost skinned them alive for disrupting their sleep. It wasn't until they had explained, a new lesson was about to start, that they really woke up and apologised for the scratches they had caused. Ron wondered why the girls had to wear such long nails.

After a series of scratches and a pretty large burn, coming from Hermione's wand by accident, the six teens made their way towards the new class. The split up by the second floor, as Draco was heading for Charms, Cassandra for Herbology. Harry, Neville, Hermione and Ron went down to the first floor and to their second lesson for the day.

Professor Sanchez turned out to be far worse then professor McGonagall. He maybe wasn't strict, but no one could believe why he had been made substitute in a lesson he even didn't know the bases in. In the end Ron had to take the lesson, sending their substitute to a corner, where he could take notes. Well, being even worse then Lockhart in lessons, this seemed to be the only way.

During the lesson, Ron showed them a various complicated spells in use for Transfiguration. Indeed it was their NEWT year, so he wanted to make a good impression. It later turned out he did as Professor Flitwick entered the classroom, in the middle of class, asking if anyone had seen a blue jumping pineapple enter the classroom. Everyone shook their heads. Ron had in the meantime not noticed the professors presence, so when he transfigured Parvati to a small hummingbird and Dean to a large elephant, he didn't see the professors expression of this masterpiece. Yet afterwards, a squealing Professor ran over to him, asking if he would ever want to apply for any kind of job at Hogwarts. He said he would be most welcome of it.

Ron was rather shocked by this. But he simple nodded.

They met up by the Fourth floor staircase. Harry told the others the story, Cassandra shot rather jealous glares at Ron.

"I do envy you, Gryffindor. I'll be overexcited if someone offered me a job here at Hogwarts."

"Well, why don't you take it then?"

"Because it was you Flitwick asked. Besides, I'm better of at Charms."

The insults continued all the way towards the hospital wing, where Madam Pomfrey and their healing Master awaited. Their new Healing master was a short Chinese witch, around the age of thirty, maybe even forty. Yet she new her stuff, they could see that. Especially after that she after some strict wand movements cured a half dead cat. The cat had by accident been hit by a rock near one of the mountains. Unbelievable it had made its way towards the front oak doors of Hogwarts.

She summoned equally hurt or in one condition tortured animals. Ron was given a red cat, Harry had an owl, which had flown right into a tree. Hermione had been given the tortured Siamese, who threatened on scratching her fingers off. Cassandra had a pigeon, which had fallen from his nest. Neville had been given a racoon, which had been badly hurt by a hungry fox. Draco had a small adder, which took a while to sooth, before being able to cure entirely.

Neville copied the same wand movements as the Chinese Master had done. Harry and Cassandra too didn't have as many difficulties in this. Ron was an excellent Healer, Draco also managed to do this swiftly. Only Hermione had some problems as the young cat, scared by death from the wand, tried to escape for what seemed to be a dozen of times. At last, after having to restrain the cat she managed it. Ron had not agreed on the idea since he thought it was torture.

In the meantime, the other seventh years had some minutes off, since they didn't have more classes before Care of Magical Creatures. Blaze took this opportunity to do some pranks, not knowing that the classroom he thought of hexing turned out to be the same classroom the five heirs and Hermione would have their wandless Magic lesson in. As after their healing class, as they made their way towards the next class, they knew the presence, but couldn't figure it out, as blaze watched them making their way towards the class. He realised his mistake and decided that it would be best if he would be in the other side of the castle, when they would step into his traps.

Ron was the first to enter, experiencing a cherry rain with cream. The cream landed neatly on top of his head, and after the small bombs of cherries, one single landed neatly on top.

The others laughed as Ron mumbled something about skinning that Prankster alive. He wasn't the only one who thought so. Draco walked under a slimy gel, which ran down his spine. But he was lucky compared to Harry, who had managed to get his foot stuck in a vanishing hole. It took him half the lesson to get back on his feet. In the meantime Cassandra and Hermione disabled as many of the pranks in the room as they could find. Neville took care of the rest, he had been clever enough to stay behind before entering.

Yet nothing became worse then their care of Magical creature's class, where Hagrid had set them on taking care of some nasty Chimaeras. As Chimaeras weren't known to be such a nice couple of things, neither the heirs were brave enough to go near. Of all of them, Ron turned to be brave, yet everyone who knew him saw his knees shaking of fright.

After for what seemed to be an hour, they had lunch in the Great Hall. They sat by their usual table, getting attention to themselves, ignoring the Slytherin's who shot dark glares at them. They spotted Blaze in a corner of the Gryffindor table. Ron's eyes sparkled with anger, Harry shook his head, and he wasn't that revengeful as Ron, yet he sure enough wanted a word with him.

Cassandra on the other hand enjoyed herself during that lunch. It was known to Harry that she and Ron fancied each other, maybe even love. He didn't know, but he knew another thing. She sure had an advantage in this.

Their last lesson for the day was Telekinesis, which took place in the empty Charms classroom. They had a good time enjoying themselves as they with only their soul strength, through their minds, managed to move books and papers, quills and ink. Ron even made one of the quills dip itself in the ink to write messages.

Hermione was rather jealous of that. So far she only could move books. They were all sure that Ron would be able to move mountains if he wished, although that became a legend to spare.

Through all this day, the three new Marauders couldn't resist pranking them. Yet the Creevey brothers did everything that happened. Blaze had sort of retired for the day, as he was frightened that the heirs would skin him alive if they caught him.

After a long days learning and studying the six heirs retired for the day. It must have looked rather curiously to see the mightiest wizards and witches at Hogwarts fall down in exhaustion. They hoped not every day, or days, would turn out like this.

To reviewers: I know this was rather short, but it was not that good so I thought I should not bore you to death. Thanks for all your wonderful reviews!

Nightwing 509: Missed you last chapter! I was actually anxious you wouldn't turn up. Thanks so much for reviewing again!

blaze potter: Thanks for those nice words, am I really that good. Never could imagine. Anyway, I'm still up running with the chapters. Hope this wasn't to boring to read. Thanks for reviewing, I am actually planning a chapter for the new marauders in the future. What would you say of that?

ThE 3 cAbAlLeRoS: Sorry for the delay, here's next chapter.

Erin Heather Cochrane: Glad you liked it, thanks for reviewing.

midnight-fox-55: Well, no story is fun without something unexpected is it. I'll try to think out something more, yet not too soon.

Allacaya: Hej igen! Good to hear from you, glad you liked last chapter. However, I have a motto for my writing, no confused readers will exist unless I want them to be confused, so... Petunia didn't have such a major plot in the last chapters. Her big role was to warn the Order and summon them for help. You saw how that went. Secondly: Wormtail will reappear, in one or another way. JK did mention that there was something between Wormtail and Harry in the third book, because Harry saved that Rat's stinking life. Well see what I can make of that.

robo22: Hi again, really missed you, thanks for the all help, I needed that. I was so tired when I wrote those chapters I must have missed the whole thing. I'll go back and change it, as soon as I have time, I did have ideas for those weapons in the beginning when I wrote it, but I must have forgotten them as I continued deeper into the story. My mistake, I apologise if there are others who noticed too. Thanks for keeping an eye on me.

Star of Dawn: Thanks so much, sorry for taking so long with this chapter, I hope I will be able to post again this weekend.

End Notes:

Shitza: I have some things to ask you all before you all switch page or shut down your Internet. Do you want me to continue on describing the lessons or should I move on in the story? I want to hear your opinion.

Best wishes, hope you enjoyed the story so far!
