I woke up the next morning felling spectacular. I hopped out of bed with a smile on my face and I grinned as I pulled on my robes.
"Why are you so happy?" asked Sarah.
"I know." Hermione said with a smile. Ron probably told her and Harry after we got back. I gave her a knowing smile and turned back to Sarah.
"Well why don't you ask around? I already know that rumours spread like flies around here." I laughed and started heading down for breakfast.
After I had had my fill of hash browns, eggs and saveloys, I headed out the door to go to Herbology, but someone stood infront of me and blocked my way. It was Millicent Bulstrode, flanked by two nasty looking slytherins with faces like frogs.
"So, Livingston." She spat. "Or should I say, Weasley. Were you so desperate to have a family that you chose those blood traitors? Personally, I would have rather stayed an orphan than admit to being related to those pathetic excuses for wizards." She gave a nasty smile.
Rage boiled up in me like a volcano, but I tried to keep a lid on it. "Well, they must be better than your family. Personally, I would be disgraced to have a girl that looks like a boy."
Bulstrode stepped towards me, her face purple with anger. She spoke in a strangled hiss. "Don't you dare insult my parents, you filthy scum."
I stood up tall. "Then don't insult mine."
"Your parents are worth insulting, having more children than they can afford. All of them are scruffy and pathetic," She paused, "Especially your darling twin brother."
With that, I exploded. I pulled out my wand and pointed my wand at her face, and before she could even blink, I uttered the first spell that came into my head.
"FEREVERTO!"
With a flash of orange light, Millicent Bulstrode was instantly turned into a large toad. Several onlookers laughed, but instantly stopped when a figure in a black cloak whooshed past them in a wave of fury. It was Snape.
"WEASLEY!" He shouted at me, is face consorted with rage. "What do you think you are doing?"
I gulped. "Nothing, sir."
"Then how do you explain," he said, pointing at the toad, which was hopping feebly on the polished stone, "That."
"I – Well, you see, um – "
Snape gave a poisonous smile. "Well, see if you can explain to professor McGonagall." And he grabbed my arm and dragged me away.
"Sir!" One of the slytherins yelled.
"What?"
"Millicent's still a toad!"
Snape turned around and pointed his wand at the toad. Instantly, it transformed back into Millicent Bulstrode, crouching like a frog. She fell over, but got up quickly, looking flustered. She looked at me and growled like a dog. I think she was going to say something but then Snape continued to drag me away.
"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!" McGonagall yelled. "Don't you realise how serious it is to transfigure a student without proper training? She could have died! What did she say to make you do such a thing?"
I frowned. "She insulted my family."
McGonagall sighed. "I know how that must have felt, but transfiguring them is never the answer. What bit of her body did you change?"
"I turned her into a toad."
McGonagall looked astonished. "You transfigured her completely? Weasley, that's N.E.W.T standard." I just shrugged. Then she said, "I doubt even Granger could do that yet."
I looked up at her. She smiled a tiny bit. "Well, I have to give you some sort of punishment. I will be taking 50 points from Gryffindor." I gasped. But she continued. "However, I will be also awarding you 40 house points for exceptional skills in the art of transfiguration." I smiled up at her. She returned it before giving me a stern look. "Now, get off to your class before I change my mind."

"And then I got out of there as fast as I could." I finished. Celine and Sarah had looks of astonishment etched on their faces, as they continued pruning their honking daffodils.
"She only deducted 10 points! That's lucky! I always knew McGonagall had a soft spot for you." Celine said in awe.
"Bet Snape won't like that though." Sarah said darkly, snipping off a leaf from her daffodil. "I saw him standing beside the hourglasses, watching them. He didn't look very pleasant."
I remembered him grabbing me. "Serves him right."
"Well, now you know that the whole school knows that you're a Weasley now." Celine pointed out. "Half the school was in the hall when it happened. And those who weren't there will find out or probably already know."
"Now, now, girls!" said Professor Sprout. "Quite enough chat over here! Less talking and more snipping, we still have a lot more flowers to get through."

After classes ended, I said goodbye to Celine and walked back up the common room with Sarah. As we climbed through the portrait hole, we ran into Ron, Harry and Hermione, deep in discussion about someone called "Nicholas Flamel", whoever the hell that was.
"Ruby!" Ron said in surprise. "I heard about what happened with Millicent Bulstrode." Then his ears went pink. "Umm, thanks for, uh, y'know, defending the family."
I smiled. "It's alright."
Ron nodded, and ran to catch up with Harry and Hermione, who had already climbed out of the portrait hole.
"You're lucky to have him as your brother. He is a nice guy." Sarah said, looking wistfully after him.
I gave Sarah an odd look. "You don't have a crush on him, do you?" I said incredulously.
Sarah went a bright shade of magneta. "No! No, umm, I was just saying, umm..." She tucked her hair behind her ears and hurried up the stairs, tripping up on the 5th one.
As I went to follow her, I saw in the corner of my eye, a boy in the corner of the common room looking at me. I recognised him as Max Knight. He had brown hair the colour of dark chocolate, and brown eyes. When he saw me looking at him, he went red and quickly looked away. I thought that he was just looking at me because he found out about this morning, but I had a feeling in my gut that it was about something completely different.
Hehe, umm hi guys. Sorry for not updating. Please don't kill me. I had time to write this chapter because I was sick (don't you just hate being sick) and I was like, YAY I HAVE TIME TO WRITE THE CHAPTER I was feeling so guilty.
And guess what. My friend has beat me in reads. 16k on her 5sos fanfic. If there are any 5sos fans out there, go and read it if you haven't already. I don't know what it is like (I don't like 5sos please don't judge) but it shud be good if it has 16k reads.
Until next time, which will hopefully be soon. Remember to comment and vote, it makes me feel so much better when I hear ur opinions
:DD
