January had finished and the weather of February had arrived. The sun had been replaced by thunder, and rain would continuously fall. Winds that could blow a person away were surrounding the Hogwarts grounds. However, inside the castle, the mood was totally different. The great hall had been filled with pink objects and banners. Little Cupid-like creatures would be seen running around, firing arrows at people. Rumours were spreading about who would come. Some said that the previous Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher would return, but some thought that the Weird Sisters were going to play music. Each rumour was well thought of and it was hard to tell which was a lie, and which the truth.

Harry, Ron and Hermione were sat in the Room of Requirement trying to improve their transformations. So far, Hermione had succeeded into turning herself into an otter and back again, even if the otter had some human characteristics. Harry managed to turn his lower body into that of a Stag's and began looking like a centaur. Ron was getting ahead of everyone by turning transforming his legs into the legs of a tiny terrier and changing them back again perfectly. Sirius and Remus would occasionally stop by and check on them, making sure they didn't do anything unusual.
The hardest part was keeping this a secret, which occasionally slipped out. Once the group had forgotten to make the room unplotable and a few third years walked in. Ron quickly changed back into his human self and blocked the door before anyone could see an Otter and human stag.

They had been practising for around one hour and were all quite hungry. They hadn't seen the new decorations that had been put in place and were in for a shock.

As they were walking into the hall, a creature dressed in red ran past them.
"What the hell?" Ron blurted staring at the creature and the hall's decorations.

A pink fountain was positioned in the middle of the hall with pink confetti around it. A banner was hung behind the staff table with a surprising name.
"Him," Harry said looking at the name.

'Welcome Back Gilderoy!'

"You've gotta be kidding me, it can't be." Ron said remembering what happened to Lockhart. "I guess he's got his memory back."
"I knew it," Hermione said. "A Valentines ball, him, it makes sense. It's perfect-."
"What?" Ron said cutting in.
"It makes perfect sense," Hermione said, finishing her sentence.
"Guys, I don't think we're supposed to come in here." Harry said looking at the door.
"Why," Ron said.

Harry pointed to a sign hung on the door which they walked past.

Do Not Enter the Great Hall.
Food will be available from your common rooms.
All will return to normal tomorrow.


Footsteps were coming from the corridor approaching the hall. They were trapped.

"What do we do, all the doors going out are locked. Would Apparating work?" Harry said.
"No, it wont work, haven't you read-."
"Hogwarts a history," Ron and Harry said.
"What about our animagus form?" Ron said feeling excited.
"That might work, c'mon. Give it a go," Harry said.

They all suddenly changed into their animagus forms successfully and slowly walked out of the hall. As they passed the door they saw a person. A first year student was trying to get a look inside the hall but jumped as soon as he saw a Stag, Otter and Dog walk out. They ran out of the main door into the grounds of the castle.

The sun was low in the sky as the moon glowed in the pink air around it. The three animals ran to an area where they couldn't been seen and tried to turn into their human selves. They was a problem, the transformation didn't work.

From inside a warm wooden cabin, two men were watching this.
"Do you think we should help 'em?" A deep voice said.
"Shouldn't we, it's a dangerous place out there," said a familiar voice.
"Okay, but let's play with them first."
The men let out a small laugh and opened the cabin door.
