Post a very embarrassing breakfast, Harry, Ron, Draco and Neville cornered the twins. "Joker, Jester we need to talk."said Neville. "What can we do for you boys?" Asked Fred. "We need the Marauder's Map." Said Draco. Fred and George had a silent conversation and said," Oh well. We have learned it by heart and plus it's your inheritance Aztec. Here." Said Fred as George handed over the map. "Now good fellas. Be on your best. Don't fret and make sure you use the map for good. See you around." Said George and he disappeared along with Fred. "I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good." Said Harry pointing his wand at the Map.

THE MARAUDER'S MAP

The quartet opened the map to see their position. They were outside the great Hall. They saw Filch prowling on the 2nd floor and Mrs Norris on the 4th floor. Peeves the poltergist was on the 7 floor. "Aztec look. We have Asena and Snow on their way to meet us." Said Ron. "Mischief Managed." Said Harry hastily and put the map in his pocket. "Hello boys." Said Daphne. "Ladies." Greeted the boys. "What are you hiding?" Asked Hermione. "Nothing." Said Draco. "Absolutely nothing." Added Ron and Neville. Hermione gave Harry a searching look, but to his credit he didn't give anything away. Satisfied she said," Boys we have Transfiguration now. We have to go." "After you ladies." Said Harry with his usual smirk. The girls walked ahead, while the boys trailed behind. Once they saw the girls go off ahead, they got into an unused classroom. "Alright boys. Dad said that we need to get Peeves on our side, so that he can help us prank the castle." Said Harry. "Mum said that getting Mrs Norris on our side is also a good thing. The only reason she, Aunt Lily, Aunt Cissa, Aunt Alice, Aunt Jen were never caught pranking is that they had Mrs Norris on their side." Said Ron. The bell rang in the distance. The boys looked at each other and ran towards the transfiguration classroom. "I'm deer." Said Harry bursting in the class. "I'm here." Said Ron. "I'm... Sorry. " Said Draco while Neville didn't say anything. The entire class looks at them as if they've lost their minds while McGonagall looked exasperated because she remembered the time James, Sirius, Remus and Peter had done the exact same thing.

"Get into your seats you four." Said Professor McGonagall. She then explained what transfiguration was, how one was supposed to go about it and she ended it by transfiguring her desk into a pig and back. Everyone looked impressed but were annoyed that they wouldn't be changing furniture into animals any time soon. They started with transfiguring a match into a needle. At the end of the class, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Draco, Neville and Daphne were the only ones who'd been able to change their matches into needles. McGonagall shook her head fondly as the 6 helped the others get the transformation after completing their own. After class as the others left, she said," Mr Potter, Mr Weasley, Mr Malfoy, Mr Longbottom and Ms Greengrass. A word please." The 6 made their way to the front and Professor McGonagall said," I'm proud of you. Keep it up and also about your animagi registration. Do you want to register or should we not do it?" "I think Professor that we should do it later on. Because if we do it now then the ministry will wonder what goes on in our houses. If we do it in 5th year, it won't come as a shock to them." Said Daphne. "Well said Ms Greengrass. Okay so off you go. It's Severus's class now. I'll write you a note." Said McGonagall.

She wrote a note for them. And they went of to Potions in the dungeons. As they entered the class, Professor Snape had already started the class. "You're late for class. 25 points from..." Said Professor Snape before he was interrupted by Draco. "We were with Professor McGonagall, Sir. She sent a note for you." and handed the note to him. Professor Snape read the note and gestured the 6 to sit in their places. Post which he said," Tell me Potter. What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"

"The Draught Of Living Death, Professor." Said Harry.

"Where can I find a bezoar?"

"Inside the stomach of a goat."

"What is the difference between Monkshood and Wolfsbane?"

"They both are the same actually and go by the name of Aconite."

"Well done Mr Potter. Have the rest of you copied the answers down?" Asked Professor Snape.

The entire class nodded in agreement. "You all will start making the Boil Cure Potion. You have half an hour to complete the potion. The instructions are on the board. Begin." He said.

The class ended with Theodore Sanctum melting down his cauldron and ending up in boils. Snape sent him to the Hospital Wing. Shaking their heads the rest of the class left.

"When do we have our flying lesson?" Asked Harry. "Not till Friday." Said Hermione checking her timetable. The boys groaned. They went for lunch where Daphne tried to go to her house table but Fred and George brought her back to the Griffindor table. Post lunch the boys disappeared. And returned a few minutes later to the Great Hall, looking smug. "What did you guys do?" Asked Daphne. "Daph you wound us. Why would we do anything?" Asked Neville. Just then they heard a shriek from the entrance of the Hall. Everyone turned to see Theodore Sanctum in feathers. All started laughing at him. Stomping his feet in anger he left the hall presumably back to the Hospital Wing.
