Childhood Memories

Chapter 5

Authors Note

Sorry for not updating any of my stories, I kinda forgot and then i had to revise for my exams. Don't expect many more updates at the moment because I'm still taking them, I just had an extra minute so I'm updating now! Also I'm writing in present because I like it more and I keep on switching randomly between tenses anyway

 I run ahead glaring at Marlene. She's miles behind, strolling and whistling. "Marlene" I warn "We are 15 minutes late for transfiguration and McGonagall is going to kill us!" The blond girl just shrugs. "Minnie's a lot less strict than she pretends to be" I'm shocked at what she called the teacher. As we arrive at the classroom I make a mental note to tell her off after the lesson. 

We walk in and Professor McGonagall raises an eyebrow. "Care to explain why you are walking into my lesson..." she checks the time "20 minutes late?" I don't answer because we don't have a good reason. Marlene just wanted to finish her bacon. I look at Marlene because it is her fault, but she's already talking.

"Well Professor, me and Sophia decided to have a walk around the grounds as we are so overwhelmed with all our schoolwork." I don't know where this is going but seeing as I don't have another excuse I stay quite. "We decided to walk along the third floor corridor as there is a rather lovely picture of a toad wearing a bikini" I groan "but when we were walking, we heard panting and I turn around and see a large three headed dog! It starts barking and of course Sophia was terrified" I wanted to tell her that if we were somehow in that situation, she would be screaming like a chicken but I couldn't as she was still going. "So I grab one of the swords from the suits of armour and strike its heart. That is why we are late Professor." Marlene beams at the teacher like she just submitted homework that took her two weeks.

I can hear James and his friends sniggering at the back of the classroom and even Lily is hiding a smile. I turn back to McGonagall and give her my most convincing nod. I prepare myself for a detention but all we get is "Very well done Miss McKinnon. Now I suggest you sit down before I decide to go check to see if this dog is actually lying on the floor dead, as you claim." I stare in disbelief but sit down anyway.

Marlene whispers "Told you Minnie isn't strict" I shake my head and get out my books.

Half an hour later, we are trying to turn parchment into quills. I'm doing quite well as my parchment is covered in feathers that won't come off. I turn to Marlene to see how she's doing. 

"mutatio calamum" she says, waving her wand. (A/N: made it up. Translates from Latin into pen change) Unfortunately she missed the parchment.

 I feel a weird sensation and suddenly I'm a lot smaller. I try to look down but I can't move. I can't even see. I realise Marlene turned me into a quill. 

I hear screaming and assume it's Marlene. I listen as she tries to tell the Professor what happened before Mary says "I think Marlene's trying to tell you she turned Sophia into quill" 

I hear some movement and a swish of a wand and suddenly I can see again. I turn to glare at Marlene, who avoids my eyes. I then glare at Sirius Black, who is literally, rolling on the floor laughing.

With a flick of her wand, Professor McGonagall puts Sirius back in his seat. This makes him laugh even more.

After the lesson I am walking to the Ravenclaw common room with Pandora. I hear someone calling 'SOPHIE' I know who it is, so I carry on walking. "Sophie don't be mean" says a voice behind me. I turn around and see 4 boys standing behind me. I turn around again. "We wanted to know what it was like being an object!" James says. I stop.

"Simply brilliant. It was like a whole new world, with countless amazing opportunities within reach" I respond sarcastically. "Really?" Asks the smallest of the group. Remus rolls his eyes. "Not really Pete, she's being sarcastic" the boy makes an 'O' with his mouth.

"Well, we'll have to start calling you quillgirl now won't we?" James asks with a smirk. "Try it. I dare you." Black, not being one to say no to a dare, says "but quillgirl! We only wanted to be friends!" I smile, not wanting to actually hurt him. "Quillie! Don't be mad!" I still smile. "Quillface! Stop ignoring me!" That was it.

Within seconds, the boy was on the ground, tangled in his robes. I smile sweetly at him and walk away saying "careful Robes. Don't want anyone to get hurt!" 

I hear a call behind me. "THAT WAS HOT. WANT TO GO ON A DATE WITH ME!" 

"fuck off" I call back. Flipping him off.
