Tap…Tap…Tap…
Remus couldn't believe he wasn't asleep yet. Professor Flitwick stood at the front of the class, droning on about the many uses of the Perpetual Usage charm. Making Remus smirk as his moustache unconsciously gestured along with his wand as he pointed at different facts on board.
Remus could feel his head slipping off the hand he had propped it up on, as he moved his notebook to keep Sirius from drooling on it. Sirius always looked so cute when he was sleeping, though personally Remus thought he was a lot cuter as Snuffles. James had once suggested that Sirius make the change permanent, but he refused, saying that he could deal with the tail but the fleas were unbearable.
Pulling himself out of his flashback, Remus looked over at James, who was tapping his quill against the table. James was looking contently at the professor but was obviously not paying attention. Nowadays, James day consisted of eating, asking out Lily Evans and going to class. Not that this wasn't common practice among many other guys at the time. Lily was said to be quite the catch, but she spent all her time with that Slytherin scum, Severus Snape.
The bell rang and Remus automatically knew that he would be the only one to have notes on Professor Flitwick's lecture. Sirius jumped out of his seat and James stopped tapping, both pausing only long enough to grab their satchels before hurrying out of the room. Remus looked behind him at Wormtail, still snoring softly, before shaking him out of his dream and leaving silently. He only made it as far as the door before he found Sirius and James over to the side of the hall, speaking to Headmaster Dumbledore.
Present time (Harry's POV)
Tap…Tap…Tap…
No one can stay awake in Professor Flitwick's class. Something about his droning voice made almost everyone want to leave, just to maintain their sanity. My only escape is to daydream and pretend to take notes; I can always borrow from Hermione later.
"Harry Potter," Professor Flitwick announced over the bustle of the leaving class. I turned around and motioned for Hermione and Ron to go on without me before walking towards the professor. "Harry, Harry, Harry my boy! I have a small favor to ask of you. Come this way," Professor Flitwick said ushering me towards the fireplace. The Professor and I floo'ed to Dumbledore's office, where we quietly sat down in one of the large cushioned chairs to wait.
Now, I've always known that Dumbledore could be eccentric at times, but what he was asking me to do was just a little over the top. Our conversation for the past hour had consisted of me staring blankly at Dumbledore while he chatted happily over the many effects of time travel. I thought he had finally lost his last marble until he said that one magical sentence.
Flashback
I sat in one of the large cushioned chairs that were slowly becoming more and more of a common place for me. Dumbledore's office always had a feel of comfort, warmth, and… the smell of his lemon drops. My attention broke away from the multi-color flames of the fireplace, as I heard footsteps coming from the stairs leading to Dumbledore's room.
As always, Dumbledore appeared in his magnificent royal blue robes, wand in hand, peering at Professor Flitwick and I over his half-moon spectacles.
"Ah, Harry, just the person I was hoping to see," Dumbledore drawled in his usual inquisitive voice. A sense of hope and dread equally filled me at this, somehow anxious what he was going to ask of me.
"As it turns, one of Hogwarts most priceless items has been fully reconstructed under Professor Flitwick's watchful eye. However, the majority of those who have worked on the item have quickly gone missing. The item in question is a highly advanced time turner, much like the one your friend Hermione Granger holds in her possession. It seems that the many people on the crew that we have commissioned to work on the turner have been using the item to go back into the past to relive what they have left behind. Perhaps to fix mistakes that were never meant to be fixed, or to take items that were meant to stay under the possession of their owners," Dumbledore explained as he made his way around to his large array of candy, kept in bowls on a table not far from his desk.
"Lemon Drop," Dumbledore questioned Harry. Harry shook his head, slightly too viciously.
"But professor, I do not see where I could be of assistance to you. I know nothing about time travel. Well, I went back once, but Hermione was with me. You shou-," Dumbledore cut Harry off.
"Yes, Harry, We know that Miss. Granger would be better suited for the job. However, you have shown that you will work well under pressure, as well as get the job done. All you must do is go back, retrieve the missing people from their place in time and bring them back into the present. Who knows, you may even see your parents along the way…" The rest of Dumbledore's lecture trailed off in my mind. My parents…I could meet them…they could know me as a person, not just a child that they never saw to adulthood…
End Flashback
"I'll do it," I blurted out, cutting Dumbledore off in mid-sentence.
"Well, I must say I'm glad to see your enthusiasm, my boy. Then it is set, I shall inform your teachers and…myself…of your absence…or…presence," Dumbledore informed me before setting off into the floo network.
"This is it," I thought to myself,"a chance for a real family."
So people, what do you think? Personally, I think I could have done a little better but I didn't have the time to draw it out that much. Who do you think I should couple him with? I've seen a lot of people put him with Severus Snape or with Lucius Malfoy, that's good but I'd much prefer Sirius or Remus. Read and Reply people!!!lol.
