-Chapter four – Full moon-
A lot of rumours went over the school, about the new comers, as they new comers went around the school they tried not to look familiar to it, Harry still got the questions of 'how did you defeat him?' which they all knew but they just wanted to hear it from him, the Marauders kept getting questions like; 'where are you from?', 'are you liking this school so far?' and 'where do you live?'
As everyone went around to their classes the teachers (apparently been told who they were) gave them no homework just gave them a sad smile (but of course everyone else got heaps) for once Hermione broke down, she wasn't getting any homework and she'd already finished the homework she got before they came, Andy, on the other hand looked the same way, for some reason so did the Marauders, Hermione clicked and went into tears, Harry, Ron and Ginny didn't have any clue into what was going on. Harry and Rom clicked when they were in astronomy; While Ginny was in Defence against the Darck Arts. Harry looked over to John and Tiffin they looked very uncomfortable, well everyone in the class looked uncomfortable; the teacher kept giving Andy weird looks when no one was looking at her.
Knock. Knock. Knock!
"Come in," a kid came in by the smallness, as well as being terrified he looked to be in first year, or second year
"Yes?"
"Headmistress would like to see-" at this he pulled a list out and read
"Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Andy Greg, Tiffin Lochinvar, John Grazin, Steven Brown." The boy said the teacher waved her hand dismissively; they all collected their stuff and walked out. The first year looked like a half-ling compared to the rest
"We need to get Ginny Weasley." The little voice squeaked
"Okay, let's go get her." Harry said, John looked at him then to Tiffin they both shrugged
"She's in defence against the dark arts." He said everyone groaned, knowing that that was far away from where they are
---
After awhile they reached the class that Ginny was in everyone but the boy stood away, the boy knocked on the door three times they could vividly hear a 'come in' the boy entered saying that the headmistress wanted Ginny soon after that they appeared, and the were on their way again, Ginny was the first to speak
"Does anyone know why McGonagall wants us?" Steven looked between Andy (who gave him a glare) and the first year
"She didn't say why she just gave me the list and told me to get the people on the list." The boy said, no one said anything to that

As they reached transfiguration the ball rang for lunch, they went into the class; the boy went off to the table which had his things on.
McGonagall's head lifted as they entered she smiled at them all, the little boy went out the room
"Andy…" McGonagall started, he looked up, as she got out of her chair.
"Follow me."
They followed her. And found themselves in front of the headmistress' office
"Griffin shoes,"
They went in the office; Andy twitched badly, Dumbledore – the portrait, smiled
"The potion to get you home, won't be ready till another couple of weeks-"
Now Andy shivered
"There is something you can take, Andy." McGonagall said, Hermione gasped
"Your talking about wolfs-bane, aren't you professor?" Harry asked, everyone but him, Hermione, Ron, McGonagall and Dumbledore looked confused
"The what?"
"The Wolfs-bane potion – it will allow Andy to keep his mind when he transforms,"
"Since when?" McGonagall smiled
"Couple of years back, but of course you can still keep him company; it'll just be easier for you too." Andy, John, Steven and Tiffin blinked
"Here-" McGonagall handed a goblet of something to Andy who looked confused
"Drink it,"
After Andy did he pulled a face of disgust
"Tastes bad, but I've had worse,"
"Sure you have," Steven whispered Tiffin glared at him
"Can it have sugar in it?"
"That makes it useless," Andy said something under his breath but no one caught what he said
"You can go now." The portrait of Dumbledore said making mostly everyone in the room jump, not realizing he was back.
They all went out of the office, silent all the way to the Great Hall, considering it was lunch time. They all become very quiet, it wasn't like them to be happy one minute then gone very quiet the next. Dinner finished early that day, everyone was ordered to their common room.

But of course, the Marauders being Marauders weren't. Although Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny and Tiffin were in the common room they knew what they were doing, they worried of course. They were the only ones in the common room everyone else was in bed or outside trying to take care of a werewolf, considering it was a Saturday tomorrow, they all stayed up waiting for them to return, which would be around dawn, but they really didn't care. Ron being Ron fell asleep around twelve; Hermione tried to prod him awake but failed. Tiffin was upside down on the couch staring into the fire every now and then checking her watch. Harry sat their trying to keep him self awake. Hermione just fretted about the others. The fire went out. And Tiffin fell on the floor out of… Surprise? They all looked at her even Ron awoke; she just shrugged and rubbed her head. The room got increasingly cold, considering Christmas was a week away. Tiffin pulled out her wand, pointed it in the direction of the fire and muttered something. The room warmed up fast. Hermione stared at her, wondering what spell she used, Harry was just too tired to take any notice. Ron just went back to dreamland and Hermione rolled her eyes at him. Tiffin looked at her watch again, it was around five, and she looked out the window and saw colour. Tiffin jumped up
"What?" Harry said for the first time all that evening (he hadn't said anything since the meeting with McGonagall)
"The suns up!" To that no one said anything, Ron snored. Tiffin raised her eye brow at him
"Can someone wake him up? He is getting annoying." Tiffin asked. Harry grinned
"Oh no," Tiffin muttered
"What?" Hermione asked
"I don't know Harry that well but I know John well!"
"Are you going to get mad with me too?"
"Huh?"
"You hate John, so you gonna hate me?"
"No, you aren't as arrogant as him." Tiffin said while smiling
"Oh, okay then, why did you say 'oh no'?" Harry asked Tiffin sighed and shook her head, then sat down rubbing under neither her eyes
"It's a pain isn't it?"
"Hmm?"
"Knowing…"
"Oh that, well I guess it is a pain to know, that… Your future isn't what you planned it to be."
"What did you image it to be like?"
"Well, I can tell you, it wasn't with John I can tell you that much!" Tiffin said Harry smiled, Ron snored loudly, and Tiffin looked over to him with a look on her face
"Now, someone please wake him, before I wake him!"
"What would you do to wake him up?" Harry asked Tiffin looked at him. Then she got up
"I would do this-" She said this while pulling out her wand. Harry and Hermione stared at Tiffin
"What are you going to do?" Hermione asked Tiffin
"Don't worry it wont hurt him, if that what you are asking."
"Oh,"
Tiffin did something with her wand it must have been a non verbal spell because she said nothing. Ron woke up as if the earth beneath him was on crumbling; he got up in a flash. Tiffin started to crack up laughing; she even fell on the floor. They all stared at her
"What did you do?" Harry asked her
"He- should- be- able… to- tell… You…" Tiffin said through giggles. Harry and Hermione looked at Ron. He blinked a couple of times as if the sun dawning behind him did something, his eyes grew wide
"That was you?" Ron nearly screamed. By now Tiffin had stopped laughing and nodded, Ron blinked again (while this was going on Harry and Hermione watched this like a tennis match)
"What happened Ron?"
"I heard voices in my head! Then their was a flash of colour, then their was a big noise, I woke up," Ron said, while Tiffin smiled
"What did you do to him?"
"I woke him up!"
"That's not what I meant, what spell did you use?"
"Oh it's a non verbal spell called magnus."
"Never heard of it,"
"Even though you may not have heard of it before it still is something." Tiffin said. No one said anything else.

The portrait leading from the hallway opened and closed but no one was there, but everyone rolled their eyes knowing who it was
"Ya know, we don't need to know your names to know your there." Tiffin called
"Aw, man! What're you guys doing up?" John said while taking off his Invisibility cloak, Steven helped Andy to the sofa which Tiffin jumped up from
"We decided to wait for you guys so come back, isn't so hard to SEE that, unless your glasses aren't fixed on right."
"Aw, that hurt,"
"Well, then… Don't ask stupid questions."
"Don't fight…"
"…Sorry…" They both said looking at the floor.
