Chapter 11: Student?
We walked down stairs and stopped at the kitchen door we were able to hear them whispering loudly to each other.
"Maybe we should just go back up stairs" I said but he had my hand and pulled me forward and into the kitchen.
They all turned to us.
"Good morning…would you like some breakfast?" Molly asked breaking the silence.
"Um…its okay I can make it…I was a chief" I said letting go of Remus' hand and walking over to the old stove.
"No, no dear it's a lot easier this way" Molly said pulling out her wand and pointing at the pots and food and the started making themselves.
I suppressed a sigh, I had forgot they did everything with wands, I was hoping I could cook a little, it always calmed me and right now I felt like I needed to cook a feast.
Instead I turned back around to everyone and forced smiled.
"So…have a good…sleep?" Sirius asked.
I hesitated on answering the question and looked over to Remus who had a smug smile on his face.
"Yes" I said trying not to grin.
It was hard not to with the look that was on Sirius' face.
As I said before it was only one night…but it was enough for me to know who I wanted.
"Um…why don't you kids go upstairs…clean your rooms and such" Arthur said.
They all looked disappointed but went up stairs leaving only the adults in the room, I was the youngest there, Tonks was a little older then me.
Everyone was there, there was a meeting today we were going to figure out how I could go the Hogwarts with Harry.
"Well…this is…an interesting turn of events" Sirius said glumly.
"So…can we get on with the meeting or are we going to sit here a while longer amazed that Remus finally…" Moody was saying.
"Alastair please" Remus said.
"Alright lets get this meeting started" Dumbledore said.
I had found out that Dumbledore was the headmaster of the school Harry and the rest of the kids went to, I don't really know if I should trust him, I mean he's been doing this for how long now and still he hasn't at least lessened the big bad that were coming after them.
I have to admit he had his "skills" but he didn't use them right, he should have been doing something against it, he could be training Harry, keeping Harry in the loop, he may just be a boy but he deserves to know what he has to do.
Harry was only 12 years younger then I am, I was 29 and he was 17, 12 years wasn't that long, I had been fighting demons for 6.
Everyone sat down and much to my dismay I didn't get a chance to go put my own clothes on, so I sat there beside Remus, as close as I could.
"So we have a problem here…how are we going to get Piper, here, into Hogwarts?" Dumbledore said.
"She can be a teacher" Remus suggested.
"She'll need a wand" Kingsley added, he worked at the ministry with Arthur.
"A wand" I asked looking over to Remus a little scared.
"I'll teach you how to use it" he said rubbing my leg under the table soothingly with his hand.
"What would she teach?" Sirius said.
"What are you good at?" Dumbledore asked his blue eyes staring into me.
"Um…potion making" I said not really knowing what to say.
They all turned to look at the dark looking man sitting on the other end of the table, I think his name was Snape, I had a hard time not laughing when I first saw him; he looked like a Goth teenager that just never outgrew it.
"How good?" he asked in his annoyingly slow voice that sounded like he wasn't at all interested in what was going on.
"I'm the best" I said fighting the glare I always got when I talked to him.
At home I had always been assigned potion duty only because I knew most of the ingredients in the kitchen and could find my way around better, and I had unknowingly helped Grams with some potions when I was younger. I kept tabs on each thing we made.
Snape chuckled at me looking at me with his black eyes "don't be so sure of yourself girly you might end up getting hurt" he said and I knew there was more.
"Severus that's enough" Moody said.
"What else" Dumbledore asked as if nothing had happened, as if Snape didn't say anything at all.
"I don't know" I said really not knowing what I would be qualified to teach.
"there aren't any open places to put her in and no new class we can make to put her in" McGonagall said, she was headmistress to the school so that if something happened to Dumbledore she would stand in for him.
"I've got it" Remus said.
"What" I asked hoping it was something I could do.
"She can be a student" he said a little too happy about it.
"Wait…a what?" I asked not knowing if I heard her right.
"She's small enough isn't she? She can blend in and stay close to Harry" he said ignoring my question.
"I'm 29 I can't go back to school" I said.
"Wait…I think Moony's on to something" Sirius said using Remus' nickname.
"Yes…a student…a new student, she'll blend in, into Harry's age group" Dumbledore said.
I shook my head; they've gone mad, all of them, mad, crazy, out of their minds if they though I was going back to school, let alone a magic school.
hahaha...anyways that was my best way i could think of to get her into the school...im going to see who wants me to keep writing and who doesnt....people who want me to, review and tell...people who dont just shouldn t be reading it if they dont like it....or they can review and tell me what an idiot i am...i want to know really :P :D
XOXO
