Being in Slytherin house during a full moon is a lot more difficult and annoying than being in Gryffindor house. As quietly as possible I make my wall through the hallway and down to the common room. Luckily no one is there so before my luck runs out I speed walk to the entrance. As soon as I step outside an arm grabs me. I manage to not scream as I'm pulled under the invisibility cloak.

"Could you make your presence known," I hiss quietly at the three Gryffindors.

"Sorry," Sirius says although I can tell by his tone that he doesn't mean it. Together we head to the whomping willow, Remus is already there in his werewolf form. When we're in the forest I realise what this means.

"Estrella you alright?" Sirius asks.

"This is the last time," I whisper my confession makes him sigh.

"You can still leave," Sirius tries.

"I'm going to stop you right there Sirius," I say a clear warning in my tone.

"I'm just trying to help Estrella. I see how much you love this. Love being a Gryffindor. Despite everything you still stay no matter how much you're sacrificing," he says.

"Can we talk about this later? I don't want to ruin the last time," I say, turning away without any objection from Sirius.

"Oh come on Moony I'm sure she'll appreciate it," Sirius tries to persuade us.

"In what world would McGonagall appreciate a farewell prank?" Remus asks.

"She loves us, we're her favs," James says grinning proudly.

"Remus is my favourite," McGonagall says passing us. Sirius and James look actually hurt at McGonagall's words while me and the other two burst out laughing.

"Well now she deserves the prank," Sirius grumbles annoyed.

"When is it that the two of you will tell us what you did?" I ask to which they just smile proudly at me.

"You'll see, we didn't drag you along for nothing," Sirius tells me.

"And here I was thinking you were just enjoying my company," I say, which makes Sirius roll his eyes.

"What in the name of Merlin," we hear McGonagall say. I share a confused look with 2 of the 4 Marauders while the other 2 look rather smug. We walk closer to McGonagall who is standing in front of the transfiguration classroom. My mouth drops open, literally. All the desks, chairs and any other furniture is somehow attached to the ceiling.

"Superglue," Sirius tells me. How did they even come up with this - actually thinking about it I don't want to know.

"Wait for it," James trails off, and then a banner falls down. On it, it says; hope you enjoy our graduation gift Professor. From your favourite students James and Sirius.

"For the love of Merlin," I whisper in complete shock.

"POTTER! BLACK! LUPIN! PETTIGREW!" McGonagall screams so loud I think muggles heard her.

"And that's our cue," I say and turn to run along with the other four. I'm not sure if McGonagall meant me and Sirius or only Sirius when she yelled our surname but I'm not going to stand still to find out.
