Disclaimer: Harry Potter is the property of JK Rowling and her assignees. This work of fiction came about after my sister, who goes by peskypiksie around here, and I read one too many stories where the dialogue just didn't fit the characters. Whether it was because the word choice was wrong for the character, or for the region it just built up until it boiled over onto the page. This is what came of it.

A Strange Conversation

June 15, 1995, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Scotland, UK

Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger stormed into the headmasters office, the stormy expressions on their faces giving the four adults in the room pause. Moments before, Lucius Malfoy had demanded an explanation as to why Harry had not been expelled for the latest confrontation with his son, Draco. Professor Dumbledore had been about to respond when the three teens came in.

"By what right are you meeting here without the three of us, Headmaster?" Harry demanded. "How dare you discuss our future without us present?"

"Truly," Hermione said, glaring at the professors. "One would think, in a culture so enamored with customs and courtesies that such a proceeding would not occur without at least our legal representatives and legal guardians present." The four adults stared at the teens in shock, not expecting the dressing down they were receiving.

"Is it too much to ask that we at least be notified when our future attendance at this establishment might be in jeopardy?" Ron demanded. "Did it never occur to you that we might be interested in such a development?"

"Uhh…" Professor McGonnagal replied intelligently, looking at the other adults for support.

"Obviously it is too much to ask to be kept abreast of our status in this school." Harry continued when no further comment was forthcoming. "Very well, we are here to inform you that the three of us shall be withdrawing from Hogwarts post haste and shall have no further contact with you or your tyranny of a world. Good day to all of you." Ron and Hermione nodded in agreement with Harry's statement and the three left the room without another word.

It was several moments before the adults could speak again. Finally, Dumbledore sighed and shook his head. "Ah man, we royally screwed the pooch this time."

"Tell me about it," Malfoy said with a sniff. "That was totally harsh. What be up wit dat, yo?"

"Dude, you are like a total friggin moron," Snape glared at the blond with disdain.

McGonnagal sniffed in agreement. "Word."
