I spot them down by the foot of the stairs talking in a huddle. Hmm... what could they be up to? Silently slipping down the steps I manage to get behind Ron without them noticing.
"Aaaaiiiiiiii!" screams Ron as I give him the wedgie of a lifetime.
"Ahahahahahahahahahaha!" The rest of us burst out.
Ron glares at me with tears in his eyes and grumbles off muttering about bloody insane chits. I turn back to the gang and give them an innocent look before breaking out in a devilish grin.
"Oi, as much as I love you guys," interrupts Luna, "I have to get to my next class ok. I'll see you all later."
We wave bye to her and Ginny who also has some other class. You know, I never asked her where she went at this time. Hmm, I'll try to remember that for later.
"Class today we will try to turn the cup in front of you into a fox. You all should get different color foxes depending on the color of your cup. For our more advanced students," Professor McGonagall said, glancing lightly at Mia who beamed at her, "you can manipulate the color to that of a normal fox."
Professor McGonagall motioned with her wand to the cup on her desk and said Brigario. It immediately changed into a fire hydrant red fox with a white-tipped tail, ears, and paws. The small animal looked a little frightened and bolted off the desk towards the door.
"Cerraxe." Someone said and the door closed before the poor creature could escape.
Professor McGonagall repeated the counter-spell and the fox returned to being a tan cup. The rest of the class was spent doing just that. Mia was the first to turn her blue cup into a brown fox. She beamed at everyone who looked her way only to find them turning back around without congratulating her. Poor Mia, but everyone is used to her being good at something so they don't care anymore.
"Great job, Mia," I said to her from across the room. She smiled but I could tell it was forced now.
Sighing I turned to my own rainbow colored cup and muttered the spell while waving my hand (remember that my wand was broken before I came here) and watched the cup slowly transform into a tiny fox. It let out a little squeak from it's white furred mouth. It was completely white with piercing green eyes. It yawned and curled up into a ball on the desk.
Professor McGonagall saw it, "Oh my, that is the smallest fox I've ever seen."
Picking it up she placed it on her hand and petted it. After a while half the class had turned their cups into foxes and the Prof. was helping the others contain the foxes and turn the cups which had yet to be transformed. Mia and I were petting our foxes who had fallen asleep. Ron's fox still had a handle on it's back, which it kept swatting at, and was completely red with white eyes. Harry had to turn his fox back into a cup because it kept trying to bite him.
"Class dismissed," screeched McGonagall after turning all the foxes back into cups with some strange wand waving and the counter-spell.
I laughed my way out and hugged the gang goodbye as they had to go to History of Magic. A class Dumbledore had forbade me to go to. I was not allowed to know anything that happened in the past because when or if I was sent back to my time I might try to change something.
So instead of that class I was stuck in Divination which only dealt with the future or seeing clearly into the immediate present. Professor Trelawney or Ms. T as I liked to call her was a very strange woman. She wears many bangles, cloaks and shawls, all covered with shiny sequins. She also wears thick glasses, which cause her eyes to appear about ten times their normal size. She talks in ethereal and misty tones. And of course, the stranger they are the more I like them. So it was safe to say she was indeed my favorite teacher of all.
The only downfall to this was that I shared the class with a mixture of all the houses. Draco Malfoy from Slytherin, Cho Chang from Ravenclaw, Pansy Parkinson from Slytherin, and Emma Thompson (a/n: lol remember who that is?) from Hufflepuff who was Ms. T's shadow.
All the people I did not like and some others who did not like me. I was semi out of breath by the time I made it to the ladder that would take me into her flowery and candle scented room. I looked around making sure no one was around.
Look, I'm not paranoid, I just don't want someone looking up my skirt. There seemed to be nobody around so I went up the ladder rather quickly and saw that the class was already there.
Ms. T walked out of the shadows while I was debating where to sit and said, "I knew this was going to happen Miss Durandel so I have decided to seat you with Mr. Malfoy. Perhaps you can manage to control him during the class."
Can you say my like-a-meter for her went down a notch?
I sighed, something I seem to be doing a lot of lately, and sat down in the farthest and darkest spot of the room. Usually you would find me in the one right in front of Ms. T but today I didn't want anyone to see me with Draco.
Notice how I don't call him Malfoy like my friends do?
I really don't know why but I just can't bring myself to do it. He follows me and sits right next to me, pressing his thigh against mine. I groan in annoyance and he smirks while throwing his arm around my shoulders. I try to shrug him off but he won't get the hint. I'm about to hiss at him when something hits me in the arm.
I turn in the direction the wad of paper came to spot Parkinson sending me death glares as she sits alone. Cho is snickering quietly from her seat between Emma and some other Ravenclaw student.
I roll my eyes and turn back to Draco only to find...
That's it for now. Don't forget to review. Also, this has about three more chapters written already before it goes off into partial hiatus. Which means that it will take longer to update and the chapters may be shorter than they are now, or longer, it all depends on my muses.
