Ramona wakes up in a daze, in immense confusion. Father.

"Can you forgive me?" says Lyall.

Ramona turns to her father still confused by everything. Her father is an animagus, A wolf. It doesn't feel real to her, it takes a lot of time and practice to be an animagus. Considering how much the boys practiced for her. Ramona just can't believe her father would put in so much time for her. Ramona opens her mouth to speak but nothing comes out.

Finally Ramona tries to speak again.

"Change."

Lyall's stern face cracks slightly, into the slightest smirk. It's the sort of smirk that Ramona notices that Severus does. It's one of the reasons why Sirius never trusted Severus from first sight. For stern facial expressions are traits of someone who is guarding their mind. Which doesn't help Slytherins reputation for a lot of Slytherins prefer to keep their mind guarded. Ramona though has defended their actions in this for Ravenclaws also protect their minds ruthlessly. Sirius insists to Ramona that it isn't that Severus feels the need to guard his mind, it's that he does it continually since the first time meeting him on the train that gets to him.

Lyall shimmers and twists and turns into Pater, slowly Ramona walks closer to Pater. Ramona has an urge to scratch Pater behind the ears but she doesn't think this is something her father would approve of. Ramona nods slightly, "Pater, nice to meet you."

When Lyall merges back Ramona grabs her father into a hug. Ramona isn't forgiving her father yet but for her, this might just be the start of reconciliation.

After the pranksters stay at the Potter manor for far longer than a week they have a day in Diagon alley. After collecting all their supplies they sit together and enjoy ice cream.

"Shouldn't we have got our results for the Owls by now?" asks Pete nervously, "I just know I messed up the exams, I just know it."

The three laugh, far too amused to worry for their friends woes. Pete has a habit of underestimating himself and will always stress even though Peter mostly gets Outstanding for most examinations.

James notices though that Peter is still upset and pats his shoulder in comfort, "Don't worry Pete, you'll do just fine."

After opening his bag James passes out envelopes to every one.

"I wanted to open our owl results together."

Ramona quickly opens the envelope to read her results, all Outstanding for Ramona beside Potions but that is expected. Ramona will not be dropping potions. Even though she wishes to it will cross out many opportunities. From healing to defense, potions can be dangerous and Ramona still wishes to continue learning potions for it's a challenge. After quickly scanning the results and the following comparisons results and her standing with everyone. Ramona slightly giggles and places her hand over her mouth.

Sirius noticing this can't help laugh himself for he knows what his girlfriend is laughing at, "Good job Rem. Beating Severus in Defense."

Placing his results in front of Ramona Sirius then points to his Transfiguration mark, "Top marks! Told you I knew it all."

"I GOT ALL OUTSTANDING!" yells Peter.

The four laugh and a get another round of ice cream to celebrate,

After talking and laughing for a while Ramona notices James is distracted slightly. Ramona looks up to know what's distracting him. Lily. A look of pain crosses James's face but he then turns to Pete to ask a question.

Sirius and Ramona share a look, both conveying to each other their wish to help James.

It isn't long for there to be trouble on the Hogwart express.

"You're a fool Snivellus! With your head always in a book, one would think you'll be smarter. You've put your keen and penetrating mind to the task and as usual come to the wrong conclusion! Rem beat you in defense by her own merits," hisses Sirius.

Ramona hits Severus with a silent levicorpus.

"Didn't I tell you to leave us alone."

Ramona walks closer and leans in to whisper, "Since changing I've trained. Trained hours every day. Why you ask. To destroy anyone who is a threat, and Severus dear, you are becoming a threat."

Ramona in anger starts growling. Severus nervously tries to moves away from Ramona's mouth, Severus feels his neck is rather exposed in this position.

"WHAT is going on here," asks James, who is in the middle of his Prefect duties.

"Just having a little fun James, I'm bored," replies Ramona, Ramona then causally takes a step back and plays with her nails.

James sighs and counters the spell on Severus. James points to his badge.

"Detention for that Ramona."

Ramona snorts in amusement at her friends joke but when he gives a stern look Ramona realises he was being serious.

Of all the hypocritical things to occur.
