Chapter 32-

McGonagall was waiting by the photo of the zebra. James seems to constantly want to thank Peter, but finals prep had started, and it was time they settle down for the tests. Along with them tests, James had wanted to learn about the animal transformation.

"Everyone who is here late will not be admitted!" McGonagall yelled, as once Lars' friends settled in, McGonagall locked the door, knocking Montague and Severus out from the class. James sniggered, knowing that.

McGonagall started the lesson, explaining the transformation of the correct word, anagimi, the best way to transform. Over the course of the class, James seemed very interested in making notes of every detail McGonagall gave. She even showed herself as a cat, and explained the process.

"Anyone who attempts to do so," McGonagall smiled. "Must be totally aware of the precautions," Just then James raised his hand.

"Mr. Potter!" McGonagall smiled at James. "Go ahead!" James spoke proudly

"If one does become anagimi," James started saying. "How long does it take to prefect?" McGonagall quickly answered that.

"It could take a year to three years, you must be registered!" Sirius made a sign saying that, but un noticed by McGonagall. "Trust me none of you will attempt this?" McGonagall looked at the crowd. She then let them go.

As James and Sirius walked out first. James had jotted down every single word, and cause and approval of anagimi. James seemed proud of this.

"You heard we need to be registered?' Lars asked quietly to James. "We would have to admit it to the headmaster!" James laughed.

"Why would we have to be registered?" James began to ask Lars, as Remus had walked away, over to the Head Boy's office.

Montague and Severus were not there. Instead they were with an injured Regulus, who on a last attempt to grab Lars, backfired a fire spell in his face. Burning small spots of his face, but remaining decently scarred.

"We will get them!" Severus yelled, as he looked at notes in his book. "Montague, we will finish this one day!" Montague smiled.

"Finish that and much more together!" Montague laughed. The two cared for Regulus over the next few days. They even missed a few final prep classes to help Regulus recover.
