     "Hey, Prongs, how much trouble to you think I would get in if I threw a wad a parchment at Snivellus?" Sirius asked.
     "It's McGonagall." James said. "A week of detention."
     "Mooney, same question?" Sirius asked the boy on his left.
     "Extra homework for not transfiguring it first." Remus said.
     "Wormtail?" Sirius leaned around James, who was on his right.
     "Three days and two days of extra homework." Peter said.
     "Is there something you would like to share with the class?" McGonagall asked.
     "I was just wondering if you wanted to go to Hogesmead with me next time we went?" Sirius asked.
     "I'm going to have to separate you boys." Professor McGonagall said. "Mr. Black, stay. Mr. Lupin, far left. Mr. Pettigrew, far right. Mr. Potter, next to Miss Evans."
     The Marauders got up and moved to their new seats. McGonagall didn't miss the high five between Mr. Black and Mr. Potter, but decided to let it slide. Maybe Miss Evans would make him settle down.

Sirius's POV
     I didn't move, but Sarah McWheel sat down next to me. She was pretty with long brown hair, blue eyes, and a small nose. She was a little shorter than I was, but not by much. She was good at Transfiguration, but not as good as Evans.
     "So, you're a Gryffendor, so you know about the party Friday?" I asked.
     "Yeah." She said. "Why?"
     "There's a meeting before. It's for anyone who wants to help us charm the Slythrin dorms afterwards. You need a password to get in. Interrested?"
     "Yeah. Malfoy called me a mudblood." Sarah replied. "What time." She pulled out a piece of parchment.
     "After our last class Friday. In the forest. The password is 'Soggy Slythrins.'"
     "I'll be there."
     "Another question, do you want to go with me to the party?"
     "I'll think about it. I'll let you know in class tomorrow." Sarah said.
     "Okay."
     "Mr. Black, please move your stuff by my desk." McGonagall said.
     "Yes, ma'am. You reconsidered my offer?"
     "No. But you're still talking." McGonagall told me as I sat down right next to her in the floor.
     "In a desk, Mr. Black." She said. I could have sworn she smiled as she said it.
     "Oh, sorry Professor. You said by your desk."
     "Please sit down, Mr. Black." She said.
     There was no one next to me. I looked at James, he gave me a thumbs up. Glances to Mooney and Wormtail offered similer results.
     "Professor?"
     "Yes, Mr. Black?"
     "What do you think would happen if someone tied all the house elves together?"
     "It's a ghost story, Mr. Black."
     "What is?"
     "Please turn the rat into a teacup, Mr. Black."
     "If I turn the rat into a teacup, will you go to Hogsmead with me?"
     "As a chaperone."
     "Better than nothing." I said, turning the rat into a teacup.

Remus's POV
     I got my stuff and moved next to Jeremy Spellman. His mother was a witch and his father was a muggle. He struggled with Transfiguration, so I shared my notes with him. He didn't say much and I didn't either. I mostly watched Sirius flirt with McGonagall, James flirt with Lily, and Peter try to free his rat.
     "Hey, Remus?" Jeremy asked in a whisper.
     "Yeah?"
     "Do it just tap the rat?"
     I showed him how to turn the rat into a teacup. He was struggling. I helped him until he finally got it. When he was done, I got a book out of my bag and tried to get ahead on my History of Magic essay.

James's POV
     "Hey, Padfoot!" I shouted before throwing a wad of parchment at him.
     He opened the note. A drawing of Snivillus upside down. He laughed, drew something, and threw it back. Evans grabbed it before I could. She opened it, made a face, and glanced over at Snivillus. She drew a frowney face and handed me the paper. Sirius had drawn us and Lily. It was right after Snivillus called her a mudblood.
     "You know, if you put a charm on it, you wouldn't have to throw it." She whispered. She did just that, sending the note back to Sirius.
     "Aren't you going to scold me for drawing Snivillus?" I asked.
     She was quiet for a second. "Turn around." She said it too late and I was hit in the face with the parchment.
     Sirius wrote the number 2 and a question mark.
     "I think plan number 2 would work very well." I called to him.
     "I wish you would hush. Some of us are trying to work." Snivillus said from my old seat.
     "I wish you would have some respect for your fellow classmates." I said facing Sirius, but directing the comment at Snivillus.

Peter's POV
     I sat in my new desk. I didn't even look at my desk partner. I put the rat I was supposed to be transfiguring on the floor. I looked at James. He nodded and started talking to Lily. She opened the door, James gave me a thumbs up. When my desk partner wasn't looking, I took her rat and set it free as well.
