Chapter Five: New Found Respect

A/N: Sofie: This is kinda the build up to the big drama stuff :-)

Trinity: just you wait till the next chapter... it will have you clinging to your buttocks and send your wand clattering to the floor....

Sofie: Erm.... passing over that particular comment.... :-) Enjoy this short chapter, the next chapter will be the most nail-biting fandabidozie chapter eveeer :-)

"Transfiguration is some of the most complex and dangerous magic you will learn at Hogwarts. Anyone messing around in my class will leave and not come back. You have been warned." McGonagall said to the trembling first years, who stood, eyes staring fixedly at her stern glare. She opened the door, and stood aside for the class to enter.

After the class had timidly sat down in the seats they have been assigned, McGonagall swept towards the front of the class, glaring at each and everyone of them, her eyes lingering on Lee for a moment longer than everyone else.

"Perhaps, , would like to tell us where the Weasley Twins are?" McGonagall enquired, a look of pure death penetrating Lee's chocolate eyes. This particular comment made Roger Davies, of Ravenclaw, snort a laugh, which he hastily turned into a cough upon the harsh stare of McGongall. She flicked her gaze back at Lee.

"I… err… I don't… err…" Lee didinfact know where his friends were, but he wasn't about to rat them out to, what appeared to be, the strictest teacher in school.

Suddenly, without warning, Fred and George pelted into the room, and just as they were about to slip into their seats along the back row, McGonagall seemed to explode on the spot.

"YOU TWO ARE LATE? ON THE VERY FIRST LESSON, I WOULD EXPECT MORE, AND FROM MY OWN HOUSE TOO?" She screamed, reminded Fred and George forcibly of their mother. "I give you a warning, if you are late one more time, you will get detention, I am not the sort of person you want to make enemies with. Now tell me where you were…"

Fred simply looked from McGonagall, then to George, and back to McGonagall. Fred was the more reckless of the two, but was the worst under pressure, and was obviously trying very hard not to tell, but the look he received from George was so sharp that he brought himself to his senses, and put a natural look on his face, giving her his silence as his answer. Getting in to trouble was a habit of theirs, getting caught was not, but at hogwarts, he guessed he was going to have to get used to the pressure and discipline. He glanced at his twin, who was staring defiantly at the teacher, Fred mimicked his expression, and McGonagall was taken aback. No student of hers had ever stood there, bold as brass, while she gave them a good telling off.

"Now, take your seats…please." McGonagall said, trying to assert her leadership, but Fred swore, he caught her smile as she turned to write the day's task on the blackboard.

"You know she interrogated me during that lesson? Asking where you were?" Lee said to the twins, he really was annoyed.

"Well, you really outta get used to it mate…" George started

"Because with us…" Fred continued

"You'll be getting into a lot more trouble!" They said together, while Lee wandered whether they were right after all…
