First day at Hogwarts: The rest of the day

We 4 went off laughing together. Unfortunately, we didn't have all of our lessons together. Whilst Tash, Laurie and I went to charms, Sam went to Flying lessons with the Slytherins.
Charms went quickly and without incident. We were all meant to be doing the levitation charm. But Tash, Laurie and I had all practised it before, so we were done quickly. So Flitwick told us to write an essay on the Levitation charm using evidence from our book. It took us the rest of the lesson to finish that off. Flitwick then set that for everyone else as homework, so we didn't get any homework that night.
Lunch time came and once again, all 4 of us sat together. Sam told us everything that happened in her last lesson.
"It was hilarious! You should have seen it!"
"Seen what?" Asked Tash, shaking Sam so hard that she almost fell of the bench.
"Luella had been boasting that she could fly a broom really well, but when it came to the flying, she fell off her broom!!!" At this, Sam did an impression of Luella's face. It was hilarious!
"So tell me, did you ask Delphinus out yet?"
"Who's Delphinus?"
"Oh, Delphinus Malfoy is Prof.Malfoy's son. Sam has a huge crush on him. Unfortunately he's a Slytherin." Tash said knowingly.
"Well, no I haven't asked him yet. I was a bit put off when he helped Luella back onto her broom and she started flirting. Annie, may I PLEASE pelt her with Mandrakes?" Sam stared at me with the look of someone who wants to do really dangerous things.
"No Sam, you can't! We have our plan!!!"

We left it at that. After we had eaten our lunch, we went outside for our 2 hour break. We took all of our Chocolate Frog Cards to do some trading, for I had procured some from some of the boys in my year.
We started to look around and found a little inlet of sand on the edge of the Lake. It was too cold to start swimming so we just sat around trading our cards. I dug my hands into my pockets and I dug out a chocolate frog from the train and we opened it. The card was Morgana.

"Wow, you got Morgana!"
"Is that good?"
"Good? Blimey Annie, it's the rarest card!"
"Wow. Hey, any of you have Harry Potter?"
"Yeah, I'll trade for your Paracleus."
"You know what? I want to be remembered when we leave Hogwarts. I want to leave a legacy. Like the Marauders! I have a theory that they became Animagi in the first maybe second year, and with Laurie and Annie's aptitude in Transfiguration, I think that we can all become Animagi. What do you say?"
"I think that's a great idea, as long as we don't hurt people badly, only Luella and the
Luella-ettes. As we know, the Marauders were to bullies to Severus Snape."
"I'm all for it, as long as we can find out how to do it."
"I'm not so sure, it could be dangerous..."
"Oh come on Annie! Please!"
"Ok, fine. I'll try and find a book. It will probably be in the restricted section... I'll ask McGonagall if I can get a book about how to become an Animagi, so I can 'Understand more about how people can become Animagi' It'll take a while though, at least 2 months before Laurie and I can be anywhere near ready."
"Ok, then. From now on we'll become the roamers. We'll have to decide what we're going to be."

And at precisely the same moment, we all said: "I want to be a dog!"

We talked and decided that:
Laurie was going to be a sheepdog, called Guard.
Tash was going to be a Golden retriever called Fetcher.
Sam was going to be a Belgian Sheepdog called Bite and that I was going to be a Black German Shepherd called Claws.

We made a deal and then left to go to our next class, which unfortunately was double potions with Prof. malfoy!!!! We weren't very keen, but decided that we could have a few laughs.

We got to Potions and were lectured about potions an stuff. Once he was done, we were told to brew a boil-cure potion. We started at once. Tash and I were in a pair and Laurie and Sam were together. It took us most of the lesson to do. We noticed though that Sam was mucking around, for everytime Prof.Malfoy sat down, Sam made it sound as though he farted. Thankfully he didn't realise it was her. The bell rang and we were all thankful to be out of potions.

We all went to our common rooms to do our homework and chat.
