Hogwarts Unity and the Protective Sisters

Chapter Twelve - Transfiguration

Transfiguration, the first lesson of the day taught by the head of Gryffindor. Richelle and Guinevere had the class together and they quickly found seats next to each other. McGonagall saw no problem with this and allowed the two girls to sit next to one another. Eventually all the students filed in except for two. Ron and Harry were nowhere to be seen.

"Where are they?" Guinevere whispered to her friend as she glances to the door every once in a while.

"No clue. I saw them this morning in the common room," Richelle responds and continues to take notes. Guinevere looks back at the front of the class where McGonagall had transformed into a cat and sat patiently on her desk. The door opened and shut quickly. The sound of two pairs of shoes rushing down the aisle became music to Guinevere's ears. She glances back and sees her twin and Harry in the classroom.

"You're late." Guinevere tells the two boys. Ron looks at her and takes a deep breath.

"Well McGongall hasn't seen that we're late so I think we'll be fine." Guinevere looks back to her notes as McGonagall leaps from her desk and transforms back into a human. Harry and Ron are both in shock as they watch her stand in front of them.

"That was bloody brilliant!" Ron exclaims.

"Well thank you for that assessment Mr. Weasley. Perhaps it would be best if I transfigured one of you into a pocket watch, maybe then one of you would be on time." Mcgonagal chastises them.

"We got lost," Harry pipes up.

"Then perhaps a map? I trust you don't need one to find your seats?"

Both boys shake their heads and take a seat in the front row. The two girls in the back watch as McGonagall goes back to the front of the classroom.

"Now that all of you are here we can begin our lesson," McGonagall states. She takes out her wand and taps her desk that promptly turns into a large pig and back to a desk once more. Guinevere and Richelle look at one another in shock and then back to their teacher.

"By fifth year, spells like that should be no problem for the lot of you. Today, we will be starting with a simple task." McGonagall passes a match to each student in the class.

"All you need to accomplish today is transforming this match into a needle," McGongall goes back to her desk and waits to see who could accomplish this task. By the end of the class hour only a few had accomplished this. Hermione Granger was one student, but that was no surprise for McGonagall. The true ones that shocked the head of Gryffindor was Richelle Potter and Guinevere Weasley who were the only other students that had a needle in their hands.

"I can't believe we did it!" Richelle exclaims to her red headed friend as she looks at the needle in her hand in awe.

"I don't believe this... Hey is this sharp?" Guinevere leans forward in her seat and pokes the blond boy in front of her. Said boy rubs the back of his neck and turns in his seat to face the Weasley.

"Don't touch me you filthy mudblood." Draco sneered at her.

"I'll have you know that I'm not a mudblood." Guinevere growls back at the boy.

"Take it easy you two. You're in the same house so you should get along."Richelle tells the two that looked ready to strangle the other. Draco turned back in his seat and Guinevere sat back in her chair.

"Why must you cause problems with him?"

"Why not?"Richelle holds in her chuckles and lays her head on the desk. Why bother? Her brothers were the top mischief makers in the school and Guinevere was as stubborn as a bull. It was obvious to her that she wouldn't get anywhere with this. Plus, it was also good to see one of her friends being as mischievous as her. The class was dismissed and students milled around the halls in search of their next class.

Richelle stopped walking and realized that she didn't have her potion's book. She exclaimed as she ran in the opposite direction, "I'll be back darling! I forgot something in my dorms!" With that, Guinevere continued walking towards potions where she met up with the other two members of their quad.
