Aquila used the pollyjuice potion as blackmail on Harry Potter and his friends until it was completed. Of course, she had to be there when they used it, and when Hermione insisted on staying back, Aquila nearly peed herself laughing when she saw what had happened.
"You're a cat!" Aquila laughed. "Oh Merlin this is great!"
"It's not funny, Whitman!" Hermione cried from the stall.
Myrtle and Aquila continued to laugh. "Smartypants the cat!" Aquila laughed. "I thought you were the genius!"
"It's not funny!"
"Keep telling yourself that!"
Aquila and Myrtle laughed and laughed until Ron and Harry came back.
"What's so funny?" Harry asked.
"Your genius friend decided to change species," Aquila snorted.
"It's awful," Myrtle said, holding back laughs.
"What do you mean?" Ron asked. The two boys approached their friend in the stall.
"It wasn't human hair," Aquila said.
"It was cat hair I pulled off of her robes," Hermione said, turning to face them.
"Look at your ears," Harry said.
"Look at that tail!" Ron said. "Bloody hell!"
"You have fun with Whiskers," Aquila said. She laughed one last time and walked out of the bathroom.

"What is so funny, Quil?" Cedric asked her at breakfast that morning. They had gotten there early and sat together at the Hufflepuff table.
"Smartypants isn't satisfied with being a human," Aquila told him.
"I assume you're talking about Hermione Granger?"
"Well, duh!"
"What happened?"
"She turned herself into a cat!" Aquila laughed.
Cedric's mouth popped open, "Seriously?"
"Tail and all!" Aquila said.
"Please tell me you helped her," Cedric begged.
"To lie or not to lie?" Aquila asked. "That is the question."
"Never mind," Cedric muttered. "I should've known."
"I should get going," Aquila said. "I promised Abby I'd sit with her this morning."
"Are you two friends?"
"Abby isn't so bad," Aquila admitted, "but Alexis is horrid."
"And Abby isn't sitting with her?"
"They're still fighting."
Cedric sighed, "You know that's your fault, right?"
"No, it's Alexis's," Aquila said. "She was too stupid to see the answer."
"Whatever, Quil. See ya."
"Bye, bye, Mum!" Aquila called as she skipped away.
"Stop calling me that!" Cedric shouted back.
"Sorry, Mother!"

"Did you hear what happened to Granger?" Abby asked Aquila at breakfast.
"I did!" Aquila told her.
"How stupid is she?"
"Too stupid!"
