A/N: Hello! I just couldn't wait to post for you! 5 reviews! Thank you to all that have. Woo! BTW this is in Teddy's POV.

The Mini-Marauders: Book 1

Chapter 3

Not the only Animagus

The purple cat immediately turned into a purple Professor McGonagall. Cheers and catcalls erupted from the room, but as soon as we got a good glimpse of her face, we stopped. That look could kill someone, maybe. Despite her purple coloring, McGonagall still managed to make this the most boring lesson ever. After the lesson, we gobbled down a quick lunch, and went outside for our free period after lunch, earning a glare from this Granger chick, who said we should be doing our homework. HA! Not gonna happen. We took a seat under a beech tree by the lake, and suddenly Leah leapt up.

"What is it, Princess?" I asked her, confused. She scrunched her eyes together in frustration.

"I-I think that's Daddy. And Uncle Prongs, and Uncle Wormtail," she stated slowly.

"WHAT?!?!" Harry and Jem yelled, trying to see.

"I'm gonna go get a better look," Leah ran off in the distance to the unlikely clan of 'animals'. "Yep, definitely them, you can come!" We all took off running towards them. Leah got a menacing look and pushed her dad into the lake. He stalked out, and shook all the water from his fur onto her. We had a blast, swimming with our clothes on, until Jem's watch beeped at us, signaling free period's end. After saying our goodbyes, and promises to write, we trudged back in, wet and cold, and all the way to Charms, where an equally boring class was taught by an equally colorful teacher. Except he was green, not purple or pink.

Directly after Defense Against the Dark Arts, with Professor Maddock, who was blue, we headed to dinner.

"Why the long faces?" Fred asked.

"Yeah, I thought you would love lessons with colorful teachers," George quipped.

"Oh, we did, but we're tired," Harry explained wearily, putting some potatoes on his plate.

"We-el, not for long, you'll never guess what we did to Professor Snape, he was so embarrassed he didn't show up!"

"Yeah, we painted flowers on him, when he fell asleep at his desk. They were purple, and we put a sign on his back that says I love Gryffindors!" Our little group burst into laughter.

"He's probably just shamed to death, and we'll get a new Potions Professor!" Leah exclaimed happily.

"That's only a best case scenario, Princess," I explained, laughing. We chatted and laughed some more, and finally retired to the dorm to do homework. Yes, my friend, homework. This is Harry's area of expertise, because Aunt Lily made him go to school, while the rest of us were home schooled (due to troublemaking problems). Our first battle was not the homework itself, it was chairs. There were only three armchairs left, and no tables. I immediately claimed the one nearest the fire, and Harry the one by the window. Jem and Leah fought over the last one, but Jem, being bigger, won that battle. Leah glared at him, and instead sat on the arm of my chair.

"Ok, children, time for homework 101!" Harry said mock enthusiastically.

A/N: I was thinking that maybe one more chapter of beginning of year stuff, classes and such, and then I'll go to Halloween? Sound good? And the next chapter will be really long, I promise. Homework 101, more classes, insults, and pranks.

Thanks!
