Chapter 4

Transfiguration

Lily walked into the prefect room, greeted everyone and asked James why he had a detention.

"Well I was helping Peeves with something, when Filch came in and caught us, so he made me have a detention cleaning Bed Pans," James Replied.

The door opened just as Lily started to call the roll. Startled she turned around and her eyes widened with the sight before her.

"What are you doing here? You are not a prefect?" Lily said startled

"Well Ms Evans there is a lot of things you don't know so you better watch your back," He snarled back at her.

Their eyes clashed with each over until lily finally looked away and done at roll to see if Regulus Black Had his Name on the roll.

"Fine it looks as though you are a prefect, go sit over there next to Lucius Malfoy, the other Slytherin's prefect."

"Fine Princess." "Don't talk to me like that," Lily said scowling.

"Ok well everyone is here now bar Professor Dumbledore," Lily said to all the prefects.

Dumbledore walked into the room and greeted everyone, "Good morning students I trust you slept well."

Dumbledore gave his usual speech of setting good examples, duties and planning events and then dismissed all the prefects.

'Lily, James the 1st event on the social Callander for this year is the Valentines Ball. It will be your jobs to organise it. You will have to organise the decorations, food, music and cleaning up the next day. If you need to go to Hogsmede after all you classes, to buy anything, you can.

"I must be going; I have a meeting with the minister in half an hour."

Dumbledore left leaving Lily and James by themselves.

"Lily come to Hogsmede with me tomorrow." "James I have already said no."

James slyly replied, "I thought you wanted to start planning the ball and I'm Head boy, so you'll have to go on a few dates now and them."

"Dates?" lily asked skeptically. "Yeah you know planning Balls and such." James said knowing very well that he was implying something entirely else.

Lily rolled her eyes and went to find her friends.

"Hey Alice what's up?" asked Lily.

"Oh not much Lils.' She said trying to keep her smile off her face but couldn't resist it any more and said "Frank proposed and we are engaged!" Alice said beaming.

"Oh my gosh, that's wonderful! What did your parents say?" Lily asked.

"There are really happy for us! Mum and I have even started planning the wedding!

"Does any one else know?" Lily replied. "James does and he said we could have a party in the heads rooms tonight."

Lily frowned thinking there would be too many people in the head common room and then realised that it would be only Frank, the marauder's and the girls.

"The party is at 7:00pm tonight!" Alice said. "Ok I will see you there, where is our 1st class?" lily asked.

Alice looked at her timetable and told her that they have Double Transfiguration.

Alice and Lily sat done next to Samantha Mel and Sarah and told them the good news.

As they told them a bout the proposal a cat walked in and went up to the front of the room and transfigured into Mrs. McGonagall.

"Class today we will study the spell Portrify. Turn to page 396. Mr Potter read the 1st paragraph please." Mrs. McGonagall said.

'Portrify is a complex spell that should be only used if the spell castor is pure in mind and heart. This spell is used to transfigure objects into an exact copy of the person or animal that they want to transfigure.

"Ms Evans follow on."

"Similar to the Polyjuice potion and Animagus spell but more advanced then the two. For example Polyjuice an Animagus spells transfer the spell castor into an animal or person. Where as Portrify transforms an object into an exact copy of a person or animal. The animal or person will follow out all your instructions but only instructions that will be for a good cause not bad.

"Continue on Mr Black."

Sirius continued on by saying, "This spell was invented by Adelaide Portrify in 1392. To help her sister run her manor and keep her children happy with pets.

"Thankyou Mr Black. Now can you all please turn your Parchment into mice. Top do this point you wand at the parchment and turn it anti-clockwise 3 times and say Portrify. Then picture in your mind your mice singing. Start." Mrs McGonagall told the class.

The class tried but only Alice Frank Sirius James and Lily could do it.

"Congratulations, 10 points to each person who completed it, everyone else keep trying and be able to do it by the next lesson.
