Albus Dumbledore walked into his office and closed the door. As he turned he saw that Wednesday Addams had already sat on the floor her back against his wall, she didn't look at him or her bother instead she simply looked at his ceiling which he didn't think she would find that fascinating. Pugsley Addams wasn't sitting; he instead was standing in front of Fawkes, Dumbledore's phoenix. Dumbledore began to walk forwards and as he did Pugsley turned to look at him. His stare made Dumbledore shudder slightly which only cause Pugsley too smirk.

"You lied to us Albus." Said Pugsley, his voice was dead and flat. Dumbledore shuddered again.

"I do not understand Mr. Addams how have I lied to you? I have only been honest with you and your sister." Dumbledore was indeed confused; he hadn't lied to them had he?
"You told us your school was safe. That there was no need to take Harry away...or Luna." Pugsley added his voice becoming quieter.

"I do not underst-" But Pugsley cut him off, his eyes blazing with a strange glow.

"That woman... why is she here Albus." He didn't state it like a question more like an accusation. "Why have you let a woman like that into this school? How can you let her near children at all."

"Professor Umbridge was not my idea, the Minister wanted her to come here and I couldn't refuse him."

"Then you should have said no." Muttered Pugsley, turning again to look back at Fawkes away from Dumbledore.

"I don't-" but this time it was Wednesday who cut him off.

"She uses a Blood Quill Albus." Dumbledore faltered staring at the girl who hadn't looked at him yet. "You are very lucky there is anyone in that room left alive. They smelled..." Wednesday turned her gaze on Dumbledore and he knew that she wouldn't finish the sentence... she didn't have to.

"You are sure of this?" he said moving behind his desk, Wednesday laughed, it was cold and cruel with no actual laughter in it. "Of course you are. I will look into the matter."

"You won't say anything." Said Pugsley turning back to Dumbledore a strange glint in his eye, but Wednesday saw it and smiled so Dumbledore knew better than to ask. "You won't say anything because I and my sister are going to use or own way to... deal with Miss. Umbridge. I will remember this however... do not make the mistake of deceiving me or my sister again Albus. We take our family's safety very strongly." Dumbledore nodded and with that Pugsley walked out, his sister was already waiting at the door.

As the door closed Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief. He shouldn't be afraid of a boy or a little girl but he knew that the Addams's were not average children. Even calling them children was strange. He had met their family and never wanted to again. He and their father had become friends and therefore when Dumbledore was being attacked by the Daily Prophet the Addams's had contacted him and had agreed to send the children to look after the castle and Harry. He had not imagined they would become friends but he knew better than to start and argument with the Addams family.

Pugsley walked down the halls of Hogwarts and his sister walked next to him silent for now though he knew her well. She wished to know what they were to do to the new Professor.

"What shall we do brother?" she asked, Pugsley couldn't help but smile.

"For now nothing, we must protect Harry and help when we can. However we will not be forgetting what happened. We will watch Umbridge and see what happens." He turned to her and she smiled at him. "At least for now." And he smiled but it wasn't the smile he gave Luna Lovegood, it was twisted and dark much like the one his sister did.

"Well then brother," said Wednesday, "I will see you tomorrow. It will be interesting to see what Harry will do, and I think we owe Luna an explanation." Pugsley nodded and with it they parted. He knew Wednesday wouldn't go to her dorm but he had to speak to Harry so he head back to his expecting him to ask questions.

But Harry didn't ask anything. He, Hermione and Ron had their hand in a strange smelling substance and Pugsley could see the scars on their hands which read 'I will not tell lies'. Pugsley had to force himself to be calm and tried not to think of the same words etched onto Luna's skin. Hermione noticed him and smiled kindly, they had obviously been talking and Pugsley was glad she didn't look as scared of him as she had done, though Ron still didn't seem to pleased.

"Harry, Hermione, Mr. Weasley. How are you all?" said Pugsley bowing slightly.

"We're fine thank you. How's Wednesday she seemed..." Harry trailed off perhaps seeing the danger in Pugsley's eyes.

"She is fine thank you. She is just terrified of fire that's all. She couldn't believe when it happened." Pugsley said smiling.

"What did happen?" asked Ron, he was glaring steadily at Puglsey who smiled back before turning to Harry again.

"I am afraid I suffered a spell of accidental magic... after seeing what had happened to you and Luna." Pugsley felt the anger boil again but felt it die down as he saw the innocent, pitying eyes of Hermione Granger look towards him.

"How is Luna?" asked Hermione.

"I am unsure. We have not seen each other yet. I will speak to her tomorrow and make sure she is fine. However now I will go to bed, goodnight to you all." He began going up the stairs but before he made it all the way up Hermione tapped him on the shoulder.

"Yes Hermione." He said turning to face her.

"I was wondering if you would like to join Harry in our Defence Against the Dark Arts group... you and your sister." She said it quickly and then went red before looking down.

"This group you propose sounds... intriguing. How would we help?"

"Meet me in the Hog's Head in Hogsmede and you'll see." She said beaming, Pugsley nodded and then she turned on her heel swiftly and left. As Puglsey turned back he couldn't help but smile.

"I guess mischief does run in the family."
