Disclaimer: Harry Potter is owned by JK Rowling and all her people. Some
chapter headings are from the witches in Macbeth.
All the creatures are found in Magical Beasts & Where To Find Them.
A/N: In this story Professor Lupin has returned to Hogwarts, where he is taking Magical Creatures Club with Hagrid. Lupin has been allowed back into Hogwarts because the new head of the Board of Governors is female and has the 'hots' for Dumbledore. Malfoy can't do anything about this for he has had an embarrassing episode with Moaning Myrtle... Also some things dramatically change the whole of Harry Potter's plot, but don't mind me you'll probably never meet me any... Also, this is set when the trio are in fifth in alternate universe where Harry didn't find out about the Order of the Phoenix...MWAHAHAHA...
Please review my story.
Please be nice to me because this is my first fan fiction.

"Bubble, Bubble Toil and Trouble"
"No," said Harry scathingly to Ron as they trooped down the corridor. "It was 1743, because that's when the revolt ended."
The boys were arguing over when the Great Hermit Revolution started, so they could annoy Hermione who had been put under a hex in her sleep, (She had had an argument with Lavender Brown over Professor Telawney's newest prediction of Harry's death. This was a Pogrebin attack; Hermione argued that because those were only found in Russia, Harry wouldn't be killed in one. While Lavender said that wizards could make them appear anywhere they wanted.) when Hermione suddenly grasped Harry and Ron by their satchels and pulled them towards the notice on the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom door.
"Oww... that really hurt Hermione, I hope you have something to say for yourself," said Ron. Both boys broke down at the look on Hermione's face.
"I'm sorry Miss Granger, could I get past here today? What's the matter-of course, that hex Miss Brown placed on you. Stand over here and I'll fix it for you." Professor McGonagall led Hermione into the classroom and mumbled a counter-curse to remove the hex.
"Thanks Professor! That was very annoying, I kept on trying to show Harry and Ron how to fix it for me, but I'm afraid they couldn't get their heads around what I needed them to do."
As Hermione was explaining this, she didn't notice the smile on McGonagall's lips when she followed the others out of the classroom.
"We're very sorry Hermione, we just couldn't understand what you were trying to say." Harry said this as levelly as he could, before breaking into a wide grin.
"Oh just wise-up and look at the notice on the door. See? A Magical Creatures Club, it should be fun."
"Hermione, seriously, if you want us to give up our free time and do extra learning, you'll find we won't do it." Then Ron saw the small print on the parchment and quickly changed his mind, "on the other hand, I suppose we could go if Lupin and Hagrid are in charge. I'm starving, let's get something to eat."
Before Harry or Hermione could say another word, he marched off into the Great Hall for dinner. Harry peered at the small print, then announced, "I think Ron just realised there would be free food."

"This is unacceptable!" Ranted Snape as he paced around Dumbledore's circular office, "he was just thrown out and now you expect me to turn a blind eye to it? Well I don't have one and no over grown bumblebee is going to stop me." Snape calmed down slightly and said, "sorry, I was studying foreign languages last night."
"Come now, Severus, don't make a fuss. It's only Remus and since Mr Malfoy has been removed from the school's Board of Governors, Professor Lupin has been allowed back into Hogwarts. Besides, I'm sure you'd be welcome to attend the Club, though you'll have to miss out on the classes I'm afraid."
Dumbldore's eyes smiled brightly over his half-moon glasses as Snape glared at the Sorting Hat.
Snape was seething, he couldn't believe that that stupid, dangerous werewolf was back at Hogwarts, it just wasn't fair! If only he could get the man thrown out again and maybe get rid of the oaf as well...he smiled.
"Alright Professor, perhaps I shall encourage a few pupils from my house to attend this...'club'"
* * *
"Harry! Ron! Hermione! How're yeh? I bin watin' fer yeh to come an' visit meh fer two years! I mean Two Years-I thou' I mean' more to yeh Harry! An' yeh Ron... watch yer back-are yeh paying attention?" (Hagrid has just discovered the exclamation mark, but sacrificed the full use of his tongue; it may take him several paragraphs to recover.)
"I think hang on...waiter? Yes I would like three Pumpkin Pastries, five Cauldron Cakes, four Chocolate Frogs and a packet of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. Sorry did you two want anything? No- okay, did you get that?"
Ron directed this barrage of requests at a passing Hufflepuff. (Unfortunately for Hufflepuff House (who were grieving for Cedric), Helga Hufflepuff had an unorthodox way of grieving. She used to dress-up as a waitress and serve others food for two years.) This student nodded silently and hummed the funeral march in a rather lethargic way under his breath.
Draco Malfoy strode towards Harry, Ron and Hermione.
"Oh. I thought this club was going to be worth while, not Hufflepuff drones everywhere- Crabe, put that down. No Goyle, here's your dummy...sorry, you know how it is; teething. I think I'll send them back up to the castle."
Malfoy flicked his wand and his cuddly cronies disappeared in a puff of puzzlement.
"So this is the new club, I think it should be fun, don't you think? Unless of course there's going to be... Hippogriffs." Malfoy shuddered. (A/N: so I decided to make Malfoy a nice character, what's wrong with Tom Felon in the first two movies may I ask?)
Hagrid patted him on the head.
"Hey, Mr M! I think we're going to be able to conquer this irrational fear you- where'd he go?" pondered Hagrid.
Malfoy had pointed his wand at himself and disappeared waving.
Lupin bounded up to them and smiling widely, he said, "It's good to see you, now let's get rid of the boring ones." The Professor turned and yelled over the crowd of students waiting, "It's good to see so many of you wanting to take part in an innocent bit of fun: Screw Riding!"
Hogwarts students couldn't get out of there quick enough and the club was left with about thirty people: twenty Gryffindors and ten Ravenclaws. The Weasley twins had obviously been in on the joke Harry realised, as he saw them grinning from ear to ear.
"Right, now we can get down to business," said Lupin. He cleared the table sat the side of the clearing and chairs appeared with a sweep of his wand. "If you could all gather round please?"
When all the students were seated, Lupin looked around at them all, as if weighing them up for what he was about to tell them.
"As we all know, Snape is a twerp who needs to be taught a thing or two about Defence Against the Dark Arts and the magical creatures of our world. This is why Hagrid, The Weasley Twins and I have decided he needs to be taught a few practical lessons. You few who are brave enough to ride screwts are brave enough to survive a terms worth of detentions that will be in store for you if you join."
He looked around at his audience again, then nodded at Fred or George. George stood up to address them all.
"We have prepared a document for each of you to sign that swears you to loyalty and secrecy towards our cause. There is a hex placed on each scroll which should be sufficient in convincing you to keep your word."
A Ravenclaw raised his hand, George nodded and he stood.
"I'm Terry Boot and I was just wondering if this was the same hex that had Draco out cold and covered in boils for half the school holiday,"
He smiled and sat, Fred grinned at him nodded. There was an appreciative hum to the conversation around the table, everyone knew that the twins were involved in that. George began to pass out the pieces of parchment and when Harry looked down, he laughed:
I Solemnly swear that I am loyal to the Magical Creatures Club, which is dedicated to putting Snape in his place and teaching him a little something about the Dark Arts. If I disclose any information about this to anyone outside the club, I will immediately be hexed for three months.
If I am caught by Snape I will laugh in his and not say anything. If I am caught by: Professor Dumbledore, I will admit everything that I did, but I will disclose no names.
When all the forms were signed, Hagrid smiled around at them all and said, "Now fer the real initiation. Get into threes and grab a shovel each, then follow me over to hippogryffs' enclosure."
At this point the members' smiles became fixed, apparently the Weasley Twins didn't know about this part thought Harry as he looked over at them.
