Meddling 101- A Beginners' Step by Step Guide to Easily Make Your Life and the Lives of Others Around You More Interesting
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of the characters and I am also not J. K. Rowling, so I can't claim responsibility for their personas. I am also flat broke and the posting of this story isn't going to change that. The only thing I can claim is the situations and characters you don't recognize, as well as having far too much fun writing this story.
Summary All is quiet at Hogwarts, too quiet in the Headmaster's estimation. To fix this situation Dumbledore endeavors to have some 'fun' and of course drag others into his schemes. What will happen when he decides that the only two single Hogwarts core staff members should get hitched? Come join the cleanup crew. SS/HG pairing
Other Stuff to know: this is not at all following anything cannon just taking the characters and their personas and having a bit of a romp. There will be a few references back to the books in terms of past situations and character 'buildings'. But for the most part I have jumped off the cannon bandwagon for this little side trip and intend to have far too much fun playing with what might have happened had such situations arose. Hope you enjoy and Please review!
Step 1: Recognizing When the Situation Calls For It
It was quiet, too quiet in Dumbledore's estimation. The war was over, five years now, Voldemmort defeated, Fred, George, Neville, Ron, Hermione and Harry all graduated. There was very little excitement to be had. Of course there were the occasional and most definitely interesting accidents that happened during the classes. They always gave the staff something to talk about. But there wasn't much of anything of any real importance or noteworthiness that had happened in quite some time. Of course there was the excitement of having a new teacher on staff, but then that had died down within the first month or two of term. Hermione Granger had been a fine addition to the staff as Arithmancy teacher. She was young, enthusiastic and highly qualified after spending three years at university after the war's end. He was very happy to have her on staff.
Slowly Dumbledore swiveled in his chair, fingers tented and leaning against his lips. His blue eyes closed behind his half moon spectacles. He was alone in his office save Fawkes who perched on his stand off to the side. How to bring excitement back into Hogwarts? For the staff at least, if not the students as well. He stopped swiveling after a moment, opened his eyes and smiled. The twinkle that emanated from behind his glasses had not been seen with such magnitude in quite some time. If no such excitement would create itself, well then, he would just have to go with his old standby- create it.
A/N: well I didn't expect to write another fanfic, but as you can see, here is another one. the idea for it just sort of popped up one day when I was driving along. I got the title and then I just thought what I could do with it. I hope you all enjoy my second posted fanfic. I don't remember the last time I had so much fun writing something. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.
I would like three reviews before I can post again and you can see what the manual says for step 2.
