My Life Alone
Professor Gough and Stizards Continuing
The lesson after lunch was Transfiguration, Ron, Hermione, Parvati and I made our way up to the classroom, where the class was scattered around each looking as though they'd rather not go in at all.
What's going on?" Hermione asked Neville Longbottom who had just raced away from the door.
"Peeves is in there, throwing inkwells at anyone who stands in the doorway." he said fretfully, next thing an inkwell came whizzing out of the room crashing at Professor McGonagall's feet who was on her way up the stairs. As soon as the inkwell smashed, splattering her robes, her mouth became incredibly thin and stormed into the room, next thing Peeves came whizzing out so fast that he flew straight into the banner, cursing loudly amidst the laughter of the student he sped off without a backwards glance. As everyone filed into the classroom (Neville managed to slip on the ink in the doorway) I couldn't help but notice how please McGonagall seemed with her encounter with Peeves. When everyone found seats she cleared her throat, making everyone fall silent at once. A few minutes later they were set to their task transfiguring a normal stick into a lizard, even though McGonagall told them that this was one of the easiest things they had to do this year, it was still rather difficult. Half way through the lesson Hermione made a slight noise of excitement, looking over at her we saw that she had succeeded in turning her stick into a live lizard, earning her 10 points, she was then told to help the people who were struggling. The next sound I heard was from Parvati, but this time it was a noise of disappointment, I turned to her and saw her looking sadly at what she had created. It was still a stick but it had grown four scale like legs and it was currently running repeatedly into her pencil case, lifting it up she said, "my poor stizard," I snorted with laughter, quickly receiving the feathered part of her quill jam into my ear.
"Urgh, love you too," I said sarcastically as I rubbed my ear, several people turned around and sniggered, feeling my cheeks I went back to transfiguring my stick, while Parvati attempted to right her lizard or stick depending on which direction she could manage easiest. Everyone was pleased to hear the bell ring in the end.
"Did anyone else's stick only grow a tail?" Ron asked uncertainly
"Mine grew four legs but nothing more," Parvati said gloomily
"Mine was still the colour of the stick, but other than that a did alright," I muttered
"Mine went-," Hermione started, but Ron interrupted her,
"Yeah we know how yours went."
All in all it wasn't a bad day as we trouped back up to the common room to start on our homework for the night, which surprisingly wasn't that much at all.
A/N Sorry about the last chapter, this was meant to be in the same chapter as the 8th but I think I pressed the wrong file so yeah, this is the second part chapter 8. Please review, and don't worry loyal readers the next chapter is up and running, and for those waiting for Parvati and Harry to get together it's not long now. So, yeah PLEASE REVIEW.
