Our Lives (Book 2 to Our Lives Now)

Transfiguration

      Fred Weasley-

     School had started a week ago and I was having a problem with navigating my classes. This seemed to happen every year and it got more and more annoying. I was trying to get to my transfiguration class, when the staircases started to spiral out of control. 

    "Fuck," I said harshly under my breath. 

    One of the Ravenclaw girls on the stairs gave me an odd look and got off when the staircase came to a stop. I looked around trying to find out where I was in the school. Like usual the halls were strewn with large paintings, each one moving. I seemed to be on a top floor in one of the darker halls, no where near transfiguration. 

     More students got off the staircase as if they knew where they were. I decided to get off with them to figure out where I was. I walked up to a Gryffindor girl and said, "Hey, um... where are we?"

    "By the charms classroom," she said.

     "Oh my god, thank you!" I said.

     She nodded at me and I quickly ran off to the staircases, having a brief idea of where I was going. I only had a couple of minutes to get to transfiguration and I could NOT be late again. As I dashed down the stairs, I knocked into someone.

     I didn't care to take notice, until the girl screamed at me, "You piece of shit!"

     I turned around to give her a sympathetic smile. She had her middle finger pointed in my direction, giving me a mischievous look. Her brown hair was in a tight bun and she was wearing her Ravenclaw robes. I laughed at my sister. 

     She ran down with her stuff and said, "You looked so fucking scared. I thought you were gonna start crying for a sec."

    We laughed at her joke and I said, "Well, I was scared cause I thought you were gonna be some Slytherin chick. And god those people are scary."

   "I can agree with you on that. I ran into one the other day and he almost hexed me. Scariest group of people at this school. No wonder no one likes them," Roxanne said.

    "Exactly, they just need to realize that no one gives two shits about them at this school," I said, "Fuck, I gotta go to transfiguration. See ya sis!" 

    Roxanne waved at me. I quickly departed to Transfiguration and barely made it in time for class. Mrs. Maggs gave me a stern stare and I tried for an innocent smile. She announced to the class our lesson plans and told us to get to work. 

    The chalkboard was covered with things we had to write down as Mrs. Maggs lectured about transfiguration. Teddy nudged into the seat next to me and I gave him a smirk.

    "Where were you?" I whispered to Teddy.

   "Got lost on the staircase. They were spiraling out of control for quite sometime," Teddy whispered in response to my question.

    "Same thing happened to me," I said and laughed quietly.

    Teddy chuckled at me and grabbed out some parchment and a quill. Instead of writing the important information of transfiguration down, he began to doodle a picture. I stopped writing down the notes and looked at the picture.

    The picture was of Mrs. Maggs with a giant nose. Her witch hat was large and covered her dark eyeballs. She had a crooked smile and was short and fat in the drawing. Though the real Mrs. Maggs was a tall, skinny witch. Mrs. Maggs looked extremely old and Teddy wrote at the top, The Wicked Witch of the West. 

    I couldn't help but start laughing and Teddy joined in. Soon we were laughing loudly and Mrs. Maggs gave us a deathly glare. I couldn't stop laughing and Teddy's hair started to rapidly change color as he laughed harder. Students looked at us oddly, which just caused us to laugh harder. Teddy completely lost control of his power and his features changed, which made the rest of the class laugh.

    Mrs. Maggs stared at us with her piercing blue eyes and eventually we stopped laughing. Teddy recomposed himself and I straightened out my Hufflepuff robes. 

    "Mr. Weasley and Mr. Lupin, what was so funny that you had to interrupt the class?" Mrs. Maggs said.

    "Oh, um... Nothing," Teddy mumbled nervously. 

    Teddy was trying to cover up the picture he had drawn, but was failing horribly. So horribly in fact that Mrs. Maggs noticed and came over to the table. 

    She grabbed the drawing off the desk and gasped when she saw it. I guess she knew it was her. She looked down at us and said loudly, "What is this?"

    Teddy didn't answer, so it was my turn. I might as well be honest with her. I looked up at her as bravely as I could and said, "It's you Mrs. Maggs."

    Mrs. Maggs looked at me with outrage and said in a low, threatening voice, "Mr. Weasley, plan on having detention this Friday at 7:00, as I think that is Hufflepuff's first quidditch game. Is it not?"

   "It is," I said shakily. 

   She gave me one last glare and turned to Teddy. "And you Mr. Lupin, not only did you walk in late, you embarrassed me in front of the whole class. I would have let the lateness slip just this once, but I will most certainly not ignore this rude behavior. You have detention with Mr. Weasley this Friday at 7:00. I will see you both there at precisely that time," she said bitterly.

    Mrs. Maggs then marched up to the room with our drawing and ripped it into tiny pieces. She looked at the class and said, "Let us resume with our lesson."

    For the rest of class, Teddy and I copied down the notes and listened to Mrs. Maggs talk about transfiguration. When class was finished, Teddy and I tried to book it. But Mrs. Maggs had other ideas. 

     "Mr. Weasley and Mr. Lupin please come here," Mrs. Maggs said sternly.

     Reluctantly, we turned towards her. I dragged my feet as I walked towards her and she gave us a smug smile. 

     "I am going to be informing your head of the house, Mr. Lukeson and your families about your behavior during class. Also 20 points will be taken from Hufflepuff for each of you. Now, I intend to see you both on time to my next lesson and detention this Friday. Okay?" Mrs. Maggs informed us.

    "Okay, I will be there on Friday Mrs. Maggs," Teddy said.

    "Yap," I said. 

     "Okay, you are free to leave. See you on Friday," Mrs. Maggs said. 

     We nodded and quickly rushed out of the classroom. We ran to the dining halls and stood at the opening, turning to each other. 

      "Fuck," we said at the same time.
