Seventh Year

Prologue

Dumbledore sat in his office there with a smile on his lips; nodding his head every once in a while as he pretended to listen to McGonagall yapping about the issues of house unity.

"Albus, you and I both know very well about our pass dilemmas last year."

"Hmmmm…"

"The 6th years (who will be 7th years at the end of this summer) had no knowledge what so ever of the definition of house unity! It was the worst school year I ever had to put up with! The fist fights, the hexes, the blackmail, the insults, the pranks, not to mention the assassinating threats were all too much! We need to do some thing! I don't want this to happen again this school year!"

"I see…"

"We had 3 students expelled! The behavior of those incoming 7th years has to change! And I must tell you that we should keep an eye on Ms. Granger and Mr. Malfoy! They both have a very promising future but it can all go down the drain if they continue to have those useless arguments!

"Go on…."

"Last year, we broke our record regarding the number of students we had in the hospital wing! 58 students in 3 minuets! 58! Crabbe and Goyle! It's good that they were expelled! How on earth did they come up on the idea off setting the Gryffindor Common room on fire! And for Merlin's sake! Why did Finnigan have to flood the Slytherin Dungeons! If he had only took time to think of the consequences, he would still be going to Hogwarts! Those children are out of hand!"

"Yes… What ever you say.."

"and even us professors were affected! Remember when my office was filled with green and silver undergarments! Those boxers and briefs still haunt me in my dreams! And poor old Severus's wardrobe was filled with red and gold lingerie, thongs, g-stings! How ever did our students become so…. Perverted!"

Dumbledore let out a small chuckle. He found the undergarments scenario with Minerva and Severus very amusing.

His thoughts were disrupted when McGonagalls hand hit him swiftly on the shoulder.

"Albus! This is not a laughing matter! Were you even listening to anything I said!"

"Before I answer that Minnie, I should tell you that the truth hurts."

Again, Dumbledore was whacked at the shoulder.

"I was just trying to be humorous!"

"I appreciate your attempts Al, but I am serious."

"I know, I know."

"So what are you planning to do about it?"

"I have got it all planned. But this plan will only be applied to the 7th years."

"And…."

"There will be no such thing as Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw Houses for those 17 year olds."

"What? You mean no houses? But how?"

"Minnie, you should learn how to listen carefully. I just said no more Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw Houses. I never said no more houses at all for them."

"So what do you have in mind Al?"

"Only two houses shall exist for the 7th years. Slyffindor and Huffleclaw! What do you think?"

"A-a-are y-you se-se-serious?"

"Y-y-yes I- a-am M-m-m-miniie. Coating Professor Quirell now are we?" he chuckled

8Another Smack on the Shoulder and this time it was -8

"OUCH! That was definitely uncalled for Minerva!"

"Sometimes Albus you get so annoying that I would love to perform an Unforgivable Curse on you."

"That's very reassuring to hear Minerva. So which curse would you perform on lil' ol' me?"

8Another Smack8

"You are very fond of smacking me aren't you ?"

"ALBUS! Your driving this conversation further away from the point! School starts in about one month! It will take long to address letters to all the children about these changes and the parents will be writing!"

"All taken care of Minnie. I sent the letters out months ago and I already had a meeting with the Parents Committee and they've all agreed."

"With out informing me? I'm the Deputy Head Mistress! I have a say in things too you know!"

"I shall say it again Minnie dearest. The truth hurts."

McGonagall let out an exasperated sigh.

"Albus, can we please get down to the agenda. How about the Dormitories? It's too late to build new common rooms. And how about the class schedules? And will we be needing two more tables at the great hall to accommodate the 7th years? Oh and dear me, what about the Quidditch cups? And head boy and head girl? Prefects? Head of the houses?"

"Hold your hippogriffs Minnie! I have already have a solutions and answers to your questions. As for the dormitories, one Slytherin and Gyffindor student will share one dorm. Same goes with Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws. So each 2 students have their own rooms and their own passwords. Each house will also have one Lounge Room. Slyffindor will be in the Northern most tower while Huffleclaw is located on the large abandoned Greenhouse. As for the class schedules, it will go the same way it did with the previous years. Except that Slyfindor will always have their classes together, and same happens with Huffleclaw. NO more scrambling. And yes, we will add 2 more additional tables to the great hall. One for Slyffindor 7th years, and one for Huffleclaw. As for the Quidditch Tournament, years 1-6 will have a separate cup from the 7th years who will have their own. As for the people in the teams, it is up for them to decide who plays what. The head boy and head girl will only apply for years 1-6. They will be selected from the 6th year. For Slyffindor and Huffleclaw, each will have two prefects. One female, one male. And for the heads of the house, I decided for there to be none for the two new houses. And I have my reasons. Clear?"

McGonagall was extremely annoyed that Dumbledore was able to prepare, fix and solve all those issues with such ease and with out her help. So, with out knowing how else to respond to the head master, she decided to slap him once more. And this time, she exerted so much force.

CRACK

"MY SPIINNNEEEE! YOOUUU BROKE IT MINERVA!"

"OH MERLIN! I'm so sorry Albus! I didn't mean to! Lets take you to Pomfrey!"

"I CAN"T MOVE! MY OH SO POOR BACK! CALL POPPY!"

"Alright. I'm going"

Minerva quickly ran for the door and tripped over a rug, falling flat on her nose.

CRUNCH

"MY NOSE! OH HOLY HIPPOGRIFF EXTERNAL WASTES!"

"You mean holy shit don't you Minnie?"

"What ever. This will be some whacked, mad, loony year."

The elder witch and wizard stayed there; one with a broken spine and one with a bleeding nose. True, this year, with the birth of Huffleclaw and Slyffindor, things will certainly change, not to mention how mental it might be.
