From The Beginning Till The End

"They are so cute!!!"

"Get away from me!!!"

"Oh my god! I love rabbits!"

"What's happening?"

"Get that purple rabbit away from me!!!"

"What the hell?"

"Aaahhhh!!!"

"Am I seeing things or did I just see colored rabbits of various sizes hopping around?" Lily rubbed her eyes and looked at the sight of the Great Hall again. She blinked. The scene around them hadn't changed. There were a lot of bunnies hopping everywhere.

"Lils, I assure you that you're not seeing things because I happen to notice a green polka-dotted rabbit sitting at our usual seats." Arabella walked up and carried the rather huge and heavy rabbit off the bench. The rabbit hopped away over to the Ravenclaw table.

"It must be the guys. Who else can be that good at transfiguration? These rabbits look realistic actually," Lily commented as she carried a small pink rabbit off the table so she could start eating her breakfast.

"Look, they can hop," Arabella added jokingly.

"Rather high too." Stefanie pointed at a particular red rabbit, which had just reached the Hufflepuff's tabletop with one leap from the ground.

"They can eat as well." Lily marveled at a transfigured black rabbit with white polka dots. It was nibbling a pancake at the Ravenclaw's table.

Albus Dumbledore looked at the chaotic scene in front of him with good humor. Colored rabbits of various sizes were hopping around the Great Hall, some nibbling at the food on the tables while others were playing around with the students. I must admit this is a good way to start the school year. Blue-colored rabbit, rainbow-colored, and polka-dotted designs. It's the first time I had ever seen a scene like this in all my years as a Headmaster here. A Dalmatian-look-alike rabbit had just hopped onto the staff's table in front of Professor Porky who pushed it off hastily. Dumbledore chuckled at the comical scene in the Great Hall.

"What do you think of our work?" James whispered to the girls as he settled beside Lily.

"We woke up at five to prepare all these rabbits, you know?" Sirius said and he faked a yawn.

"Looks like our transfiguration isn't too bad. We created the designs on the rabbits as well." Remus laughed as he helped himself with the toast while preventing one grass green rabbit from eating it off his plate with his free hand.

"I transfigured one hundred and sixty-six toothpicks, you know. Look at the polka dotted and striped rabbits. They're all mine," Sirius boosted as he helped himself on his second helping. A gray rabbit had hopped onto his lap. He shoved it off from his lap so that he could resume his breakfast.

"The plain colored are all mine. I don't really want them to look too abnormal,

"I don't think I ever recalled seeing a bright pink rabbit or a neon green rabbit in my entire life," Stefanie remarked, as she started laughing at the cute scene.

"I think this yellow rabbit is pretty cute. But what's with the unicorn picture on its side?" Lily bent down, picked up a rabbit behind her and placed it on her lap. She began examining the oddity with great curiosity, waiting for one of the boys to explain.

"That's my masterpiece," James acknowledged and stopped eating to explain. "I like plain and normal looking colors but Remus wanted plain colored ones too. Therefore, I figured that tattoos might look interesting on them. Anyway, I transfigured one hundred and fifty-one of these art pieces here. No two rabbits around are identical, mind you." James looked at his right. In front of some of the first-year Gryffindor was a green rabbit with a rainbow 'tattoo' on it. Then at his left, where the sixth-year Gryffindor girls were sitting, was a light blue rabbit with a sun 'tattoo'.

"That's really creative, you guys. I didn't expect you all to come up with something as brilliant as this," Lily said sincerely, in an amusing but impressive tone.

"Well, this definitely adds a lot to your record-breaking detentions. I'm sure of that. In fact, McGonagall is heading our way now." Arabella laughed while she tried to cuddle a lavender rabbit with violet polka dots on her lap and eat her scramble eggs at the same time.

"Here's your timetable, Miss Evans, Miss Figg and Miss Black." Professor McGonagall handed out the timetables. "Potter, Black and Lupin, come with me to my office now!!!" she barked. Her tone changed from the girls to the guys. However, they all noticed that the usually stern professor was trying hard to stifle a giggle. The scene at the Great Hall that morning was just too funny not to be laughing. Even Malfoy and his gang seemed to be having fun with a black rabbit with white stripes.

"Headmaster, these harmful rabbits attacked my students." Professor Porky, the head of Slytherin house, was pointing at Lucius and Severus's nibbled fingers. Their fingers did not appear to be injured at all, except for some bite marks and minor scratches.

"Professor Porky, everyone knows rabbits are harmless." Professor McGonagall rolled her eyes, then turned and glared at the three boys. Her students looked back innocently at her.

"Professor McGonagall, I must emphasize that you should teach your students to behave themselves," Professor Porky insisted. Professor Porky, whose name contradicts with his physique, was tall and skinny. He was practically bony. His long raven-black hair had an unkempt and out-of-bed look. His face looked sunken and lacked the healthy radiant. Professor Porky was well known for his favoring his own House and was against everything with the Gryffindor House especially. There seemed to be a grudge between Professor McGonagall and Professor Porky, but no one was able to confirm it.

"Headmaster, I'll make sure they get their deserved detentions," Professor McGonagall said calmly. Although she was strict with her own House, she sided with them in times of need, especially when it was against the Slytherins.

"I think they ought to be suspended, Headmaster!" Professor Porky exclaimed. His hands were swinging rather wildly, trying to emphasize his point.

"Well, I'm sure Minerva knows how to deal with her students. Johnny, why don't you bring your students to Poppy so she can take a look at their serious injuries," Dumbledore said to both professors before they head out of his office. His eyes twinkled in amusement. This was the second comical scene of the day. I wonder what's next!

<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

"This is really a bit too far! How could I, the son of head Auror and Muggle businessman, Jason Black, be doing something like this?" Sirius complained as he started scrubbing the floor of the hospital wing toilet. The trio was serving their detention on the rabbit prank they played a week earlier.

"Remember our first detention? It was in the hospital wing as well. And it was a year ago, on our second day of school!" Remus commented in an amusing tone. He had gotten rather used to these sorts of detentions. Being brought up in a home where he never needed to do any form of housework, he had actually learnt all these from detentions. Now I truly understand what the house-elves have been doing all these while at home.

"Anyway, I don't mind if we have to scrub the bedpans again. We could have some fun out of that." James laughed at the thought while he continued to scrub the vandalized walls. Some people seemed to like to do some writings and drawings while doing their business in the toilet. And I wonder how they managed that...

"Pommpy freaked out when her patients had problems with the glue-infested bedpans," Sirius said, stopping his floor scrubbing, and started imitating Madam Pomfrey in her freaked-out look, "Oh Merlin!!! What happened? Oh dear!!! Oh dear!!!"

"Do we always make our detentions so interesting that we always look forward to having more of them?" Remus asked in an amused tone as he scrubbed the stained toilet bowl rim.

"Since we had already done that on the bedpans, I don't think the same trick can be used on the toilet bowls. I'm sure Pommpy is smart enough not to fall for the same trick the second time," James said thoughtfully as he scrubbed the walls in another cubicle.

"I'm sure we can come up with some prank to be done here. This time Pommpy had obviously gotten smarter by taking away our wands for detention," Remus observed, trying to scrub of some yellowish stain on another toilet rim.

"What do you suggest, Sirius? You always have the brightest idea." James grinned cheekily.

"I'm out of ideas, the last eighty three pranks were my ideas." Sirius groaned.

"Yeah right," James said in a sarcastic tone. "We only did one hundred and twenty-five pranks last year, and out of which, at least fifty were my ideas!" he retorted and threw the scrubbing brush over at Sirius. How can I get that pail of water over Sirius without me going over? James thought quickly as he pointed at the pail with his finger. Jeez, I thought the pail just vibrated. James pointed at the pail again and muttered, "Wingardium leviosa."

The pail full of dirty water flew above Sirius's head and emptied its content all over the blue-eyed Gryffindor.

"What the hell?" Sirius muttered as he went to the shower room to rinse himself off the dirty water.

"How did you do that?" Remus asked, amazed at the usage of magic without a wand.

"Yeah! Tell me! What did you do?" Sirius demanded, dripping wet with dirty water and clean tap water.

"I don't know. I just pointed at the object and muttered a spell. Then the pail did what I had willed," James said, still stunned at his own actions.

"That reminds me..." Sirius said with a mischievous glint in his eyes. He stared and concentrated at a pail of dirty toilet water and before James knew it, he was already soaked with the contents of the pail.

"What the-?" James's eyes widened in disgust and ran towards the same shower room to rinse himself.

"Don't tell me you're capable of wandless magic too?" Remus asked curiously.

"Wandless magic?" James asked, deep in thought about some bedtime story he heard from his mother when he was younger. Wandless magic. This sounded so familiar. But what was that story about?

"Remember that children's story about the supreme seven?" Sirius asked slowly, looking at both of them. They exchanged peculiar glances.

"I don't know. But that is a child's tale, isn't it?" James's voice was hushed.

"Well, according to the story, one of them can do wandless magic, another one had eye power," Remus said, thinking about the story he had heard from his mother many years ago.

"I remembered when I was younger, I used to play with Stefanie about flying objects in our nursery. She could make objects fly by thinking about it."

"Do you think we could be-?" James asked, amazed at his newfound power.

"Well, at least you two are something. I don't think I'm anything," Remus said sadly.

"Don't worry, regardless what happens, you'll always be our friend. We need to go and find Dumbledore now." James dashed out of the toilet to find Madam Pomfrey about their urgent rush to find the Headmaster. Sirius and Remus followed him and left the half-cleaned toilet.

<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

"Ouch!" Stefanie groaned as she tried to pick herself up. The Slytherins had just left the moment she tripped over an invisible string that they had set up outside the Potions classroom. The string had disappeared without a trace after Lucius and his gang left laughing at the injured girl. Stefanie had turned back because she had left her favorite notebook in the classroom. She grimaced. I must have sprained my left ankle badly. This is just so great. Lils and Bell are nowhere to be found and I need a stick. Yes, my broomstick.

<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

Suddenly the view in front of Arabella blacked out. She saw Lucius and his gang ambushing Stefanie with an invisible thread outside the Potions classroom. Her friend had tripped and twisted her ankle. Badly. Stefanie was now trying to pick herself up. Just as sudden as it came, the view in front of her was back to normal.

"Are you all right?" Lily asked, concerned at her friend's unusual jerking motion.

"Stefanie sprained her ankle outside the Potions classroom. She's still there. We have to go and help her," Arabella said urgently and both of them rushed back to the dungeons. Lily barely had time to register the fact and reminded herself to ask Arabella about her powers of premonition.

"Stef!!!" Lily shouted as Stefanie began to raise her wand.

"Lils! Bell! Malfoy and his gang must have ambushed me. Those idiots. My leg hurts!" Stefanie was on the verge to tears. Lily examined her friend's ankle and it was just about to swell.

Lily took a deep breath and touched Stefanie's ankle gently and instantly the pain was gone.

"W-What did you do?" Stefanie asked in amazement.

"I'll explain to you once we get back to the dorm," Lily whispered and looked around for anyone who might have been around to witness what had just happened. Someone did in fact realized what Lily had done.

They ran as fast as possible back to their dorm. They were panting by the time they reached the portrait of the fat lady in pink dress.

"Rain drops," Arabella muttered. The portrait swung open and the three of them climbed inside quickly. The common room was full of students. They turned and dashed up their dorm. Stefanie checked the whole room and the

"All clear." Arabella flashed thumbs-up sign at her friends.

Lily began to tell her story about how she discovered that she could heal anything by touching when she was four. She mentioned about the multiple times that she healed herself when her sister hurt her. She also mentioned the incident at the park when she was seven.

"Merlin!" Stefanie looked at Lily with wide-eyed amazement. She wondered why she hadn't realized it earlier. "You were the girl who healed me when I fell off my bike..." Stefanie spoke in a hushed voice.

"You mean that girl was you?" Lily asked incredulously.

"Yes, I barely thanked you that time. I was too stunned, you see. It was all Sirius's fault. He meddled with the brakes."

"That makes sense. I know I saw two guys hiding behind the tree when you fell. It didn't strike me that it had been James and Sirius."

"You're a healer!!!" Arabella suddenly shrieked. Lily and Stefanie looked a little startled and it was moments before Lily regained her composure.

"Yeah, I guess so."

"Do you know the story about the supreme seven?" Stefanie asked. She looked intently into Lily's eyes before she met the gaze of Arabella's violet eyes.

"You don't think Lily is one of them, do you?" Arabella asked Stefanie in a surprised tone.

"I don't know. But why not?" Stefanie pointed out.

"Then who are the other six?" Lily asked, amazed. She had read the story from the books in the library. But those were fictions, right?

"I have the ability to use my mind to control things. I think I might be telekinetic." To prove her point, she closed her eyes and thought about her pillow. The pillow whizzed across the room and landed on her lap.

"Wow. Both of you are amazing!" Arabella breathed.

"Do you have any unusual powers?" Stefanie asked. Arabella gave some thoughts for a while.

"I don't think so," Arabella said sadly.

"Ahhh... but how would you explain the fact that you saw Stefanie being ambushed at the dungeons just now?" Lily asked slyly.

"I-I don't know. It was normal to me. I had these sorts of premonitions now and then. Most of the time was in dreams though." Arabella was trying to recall.

"One of the seven is a seer with the gift of premonition. Maybe you might be she. That's why we clicked so well," Stefanie suggested with a smile.

"Then who are the other four?" Arabella asked curiously.

"I think Sirius have the ability of eye power. He displayed it before when we were younger." Stefanie thought about the times that they had made the objects flew in their playroom.

"Whatever it is, I think we should go and find Dumbledore and ask him," Lily said determinedly. They stood up and rushed off to the Headmaster's office.
