Some Random Day at Hogwarts 1

It was another brand new day at Hogwarts.

While trying to wake up, I found that I was being pinned down to my bed by someone. My muggle senses kicked and all my childhood fears from watching Supernatural series and Paranormal Movies caught up and I screamed. 

Turned out that it was Peeves pinning me down to my bed and when I screamed he zoomed off laughing about bed wetting muggleborns. But hey, I didn't wet my bed.

All my dorm mates woke up to my screams and threw me looks of disgust. This was the fourth time I screamed in the dorm and the second time they woke up to my screams. 

We all got dressed and went down to the great hall, stifling yawns and occasional burps because we slept late yesterday after eating too much at the party that we housed in our common room last night. We had just won the school Gobstones tournament.

Professor McGonagall was staring down at our table with an expression of beat down anger mingled with exasperation. She had asked our head of the department to hand out detentions to anyone who stayed up after 2 AM and most of the house got detentions handed to them. She should have known. I mean, she's been for like fifty years at Hogwarts.

We trudged off to the transfiguration class after forcing down some breakfast. Even though our seniors told us that there was no such thing as butterbeer hangover, we were very very hung over. May be someone mixed firewhisky in them. 

Transfiguration was going to take place in the Greenhouses today. Professor Nigellus Flamel was eccentric alright. He sprung surprises on us everyday. Like last week, he made us transfigure twigs from old flying broomsticks into turnips. At the end of the class each of us had a broomstick with oddly hanging turnips that was rumoured to have made Madam Hooch annoyed to the extreme. 

Today we waited for Professor Flamel to turn up and a fluffy Pomeranian walked in. I had one back at home and I got thoroughly excited and ran to cuddle it. So did some of my classmates until we stopped dead in our tracks when that fluffy dog turned into Professor Flamel. For a moment we couldn't say anything. We were both shocked and trying hard to control our laughter. Who would have imagined such a vicious professor had a fluffy animagous form!

It took us for about ten minutes to get back to ourselves in which time Professor Flamel was enumerating the merits of transfiguration in making the enemy feel completely wrong footed. He pulled out his wand, turned to his side and cast a charm on the nearest devil's snare. It turned into a docile looking flitterbloom. We were all impressed. He said that we could just keep a bunch of devil's snare transfigured into flitterblooms. A timed transfiguration charm. It would wear off after a while and attack the enemies. 

We could literally feel our Slytherin classmates wringing their hands at this seemingly brilliant idea but we were relieved when Professor Flamel said that it would take years of practice to actually apply timed transfiguration charms on that scale. 

We were all given puffapods to transfigure them into jumping beans. Half the greenhouse was filled with puffapod saplings because most of us only managed to make the puffapods jump down and the moment they touched the ground they flowered. We all spent weeding them out the last ten minutes of the class and there were lots of grumpy faces by the time we left the greenhouses.

Before lunch, me and Elaine climbed up all the way to our dormitory to change our robes because we accidentally petted the flitterbloom plant that was actually a transfigured devil's snare and it attacked us. After pouring down what seemed like a pint of dittany on our wounds and punctures we headed down for lunch from the hospital wing only to remember that we had herbology that afternoon.
