Disclaimer: The usual, I own nothing but the plot and a couple of MY
original characters.
A/N: Sorry everyone, it's another short chapter, but the way I'm seeing it, it's going to be really long. Thank you for reviewing: Cherries, you guessed right. Tiger Lily, thank you sooooo much, I'll keep trying for every-other day, Eliza, thanks for reviewing, and I'll try as hard as possible to keep the humor up! Tannia, doesn't everyone love Newark? Lol ttul. C~you guys later!
The ministry sent someone to America a few weeks after the attack on Draco's mother, but the never said who it was. Everyone was waiting in anticipation to discover who it was. The only way directly to the house was by Floo, so all seven of the teenagers plus Severus Snape waited by the fireplace. Severus was supposed to go back to England, but with the recent attack, he decided to stay behind and keep an eye on his favorite student.
"Does anyone have any clue as to who may be coming?" Devonny was growing impatient and was asking every question that could come to mind. "I think that it's kind of stupid not to tell- Oh my gosh, it's Sirius Black!" She jumped up and grabbed her wand, pointed it at him, and was halfway through a curse when Ron tackled her to the ground.
Draco stood up at a frightening speed and went to defend her. "Weasley! Get your own girlfriend and get off of mine!" No one had time to laugh, however, because everyone was looking up at Sirius with a blank expression.
"Relax, he was cleared by the ministry! Don't you people ever listen to the Wireless?" Hermione was ranting on ceaselessly until she was finally brought by a halt by Snape explaining about how Black's name was cleared and he was publicly apologized to.
"So, let me get this straight. Sirius was punished for murders that he never committed, Harry met him in his third year, only to find that he was in fact his godfather, and he, Ron, and Hermione knew about this without telling anyone? Well, this all seems normal compared to what's been happening lately."
"What's been happening lately?" Sirius seemed really interested in prying the answer from Dev.
"Well, we found this book."
"About what?"
"Fairy tales, Sirius. Nothing to worry about." Hermione spoke up and gave a look at Dev silently telling her to stop telling them.
"Well, I'm here to look after all of you, and my orders if anything should happen, are to take all of you back to England with me. Now, when do you all start school?"
"Well, I have a meeting at the school this Friday and everyone else starts Monday." Greg stated, all of a sudden glowing in pride.
"Why do you have a meeting?" Sirius was curious, as was almost everyone else.
"He's Head Boy, aren't you Greggie?" Devonny was obviously having a severe attack of sarcasm and taking it out on her brother.
"And why aren't you Head Girl?" Sirius wondered aloud.
"I'm a year younger than him, so I could only be a prefect."
"Why aren't you a prefect?"
"I hold the all-time record for breaking the dress code."
"Is that right?"
"Yep. I'm runner up for rule-breaking also."
"Devonny! That's nothing to brag about" Mrs. McCarry shouted in at her daughter from the kitchen, and then proceeded to walk into the living room, where she ran, literally, into Sirius. "Oh, um hello."
"Hi." Sirius replied with a distant look in his eyes.
Devonny sighed and rolled her eyes. "Um, I'd hate to interrupt your little conversation, but Uncle Severus has to go back to England before school starts. Are you still teaching potions, Uncle Severus?"
"Actually, the Defense Against the Dark Arts job that I wanted finally came through. I have to plan an entire new curriculum." Harry inwardly groaned. The next time he came to Hogwarts, his best subject would be taught by Snape.
"Congratulations." Gregory was never sure if he liked his uncle, but Dev always did, so there couldn't be horrible.
"I must say though, the new potions teacher is ridiculous. Well, I better be going. Goodbye everyone." He threw a pinch of Floo Powder into the fireplace, shouted "Hogwarts", and was gone into the flames.
"Well, what do we do now?" Devonny asked.
