Another wonderfull update from you favortite author! More Draco here! squee

Soon, they entered the Transfigerationn classroom, only to find Shari already sitting at the back of the clas.

'How did she get here already?' Ron asked.

'Remember Ron,' MJ said, eyes wide and lips pouty. 'Shari is a dangerous and dark witch- she could have Appearated.'

'Impossible,' Hermione said quikly. 'You can't Appearate within the walls of Hogwarts.'

'Is it, Hermione?' MJ asked. 'Is it really?'

Hemrione looked bewildered and Harry whispered to her:
'Bringing snakes back to life isn't supposed to be possible either.'

'Class, today, we'll be transfiguring socks into platypusse.

We've got a tank with water ready here, as you see- so get them inhere as fast as you can,' McGonogal said sternly.

'Now, this is quiet hard, as you may undestand, so pay attention.'

Before she had even explained the spell to everyone, Shari stood up and put a perfect healthy platypus in the tank.

'Miss Shari,' McGonogal said, perplexed. 'Where did you get that platypus?'

'I transfigered it,' she said shyly.

'But I haven't even thought you how.'

'Is there something wrong with it?' Shari asked. 'I saw the spell in the book and taught I'd try it.'

'Have you done some major tranfigering like this before?' McGonogal pressed.

Shari stepped a bit closer to the proffesor, as if trying to keep this conversation as private as possible.

'In class, I've only done the basic things,' she whispered. 'but I really like transfigering things and I've tried some stuff on my own. Fire into ice, animate objects into inanimate object, animate objects into other animate objects. This is my first inanimate objects into animate objects, though.'

'Well, you've done a fantastic job,' McGonogal beamed. 'Have all your other experiments succeeded?'

'Yes, ma'am.'

'Have you thought about becoming an animagus?'

'Oh, ma'am,' Shari sighed happily. 'I would love nothing better.'

'Well, I'll teach you than.'

Harry heard Hermione gasp and look awfull jealous. Out of the corners of his eyes he saw her look up the spell herself.

After a flash of bright pink light, a cute little platypus was lying on Hermione's desk. She hurried to put it in the bassin, but sadly enough, the poor animal's skin was still a kind of polyster. It sank imediately to the bottom of the tank and could do nothing but crawl around helplesly.

'Miss Granger!' McGonogal shrieked, while taking the animal out of the bassin. 'Why didn't you wait for my instructions? You have doomed this poor creature. Five points from Gryfindor.'

She transfigured the platypus back into a sock, dryed it and transfigured it back.

'Never in the five years I've thought you have you done such a disobedient thing,' she snapped while sliding the now waterproof animal back into the bassin. 'I'm rather inclined to take another five points from Gryfindor.'

Hermione gave a dry sob.

Harry grinned and looked back at Marjolein. 'How are you doing sweetheart?' He asked.

'Can't you see I'm trying Harry?' MJ answered in an annoyed tone. 'sokword vogelbekdier, sokword vogelbekdier . Oh Harry, why isn't it working?'

Hermione, who had transfigered her sock perfectly by now, turned around. 'Its your pronunciation, you have to say sokwordt vogelbekdier, it's a common mistake.'

MJ gave Harry a sad look. 'I don't understand whats wrong...'

'Shut up Hermione.' Harry said quickly. 'Her sock probably just has the wrong colour.' He gave MJ a tight hug. 'Here darling take mine.'

'Sokword vogelbekdier, sokword vogelbekdier .' As nothing happened MJ started sobbing. 'I'm awfull, I can't do transfigeration at all.'

Harry saw Shari staring at MJ and gave her an angry glare. 'Why don't we try it together, MJ, I've never turned a sock into a platypus either.'

'Now, now Mr. Potter, why don't you consentrate on your own sock and I'll help your friend.'

Harry looked rather put out by that but nodded.

'Now mind the pronunciation, I can't imagine that a sweet, inteligent young lady like yourself can't master this spell.' McGonogal said.

'Sokwordt vogelbekdier.' The sock transfigered right away and MJ started laughing. 'I did it! I did it!' She jumped out of her seat and gave McGonogal a hug. 'Thank you so much!' Then she looked around and saw that the entire class was grinning at her, even Draco Malfoy. She blushed and smiled at them and soon they started aplauding.

'You're brilliant MJ!' Harry yelled, he had never been so proud of her.

McGonogal soon dismissed the class.

'That was bloody brilliant, MJ!' Ron said.

'Thanks Ron, I never knew I was so good at it.' She turned to Harry who was still glowing. 'Ill sees you at dinner, OK? I'm gonna write a letter home.'

'Ill miss you!' He gave her a quik kiss on the cheek. 'Bye.'

'Bye.'

'I think I'm gonna go visit Sirius.' Harry said, turning to Hermione and Ron. 'Ill see you guys later.'

'K' They said togehter.

When Harry was gone Ron turned towards Hermione. 'So that leaves the two of us, he.' He said with a wink.

'Euhm, I think I'm going to study in my dorm. Bye Ron.'
