Hello all! wings again! I'm just here to remind you to check out earlier chapters for my disclaimer and to beg you to review! pleases? With mud on top?
ch. 14 chibi's and chicken!

Shortly after their entrance, other teachers showed up and herded all the children to seats at their respective tables. In short order, Headmaster Dumbledore was standing before the curious students.

"Dearest Hogwarts, I trust all of you have by now heard the rumors of a new Prankster here at our school. I rush to assure you, nothing harmful will com of it. I must urge this prankster, whomever they are, to be most careful of students. Now, let's dig in! Anyone for a little chicken? It's fresh from our very good neighbors: Alaska! Sauerkraut." Dumbledore announced before sitting down and eating a hearty portion of said chicken.

The students watched him curiously, waiting for him to turn purple and die, or something curiously morbid and entertaining. When nothing happened, however, the students nervously began to eat the chicken themselves. Up at the heads table, Camy was watching the students in mild curiosity.

"Is that really wise?" Camy asked, her own plate as empty as always. Sirius chuckled.

"The Headmaster is a lot more sane and logical than he lets on. There's nothing wrong with the chicken." Sirius replied firmly.

"How like you to say, Black." Sneered Severus from Camy's other side. He then proceeded to poke a steaming chicken-breast suspiciously.

"Well, that establishes it, SEverus. The dinner is most definitely dead. If that is not enough, though, I'm sure ol' Moony could dispatch it for you." Sirius snickered in reply.

"Easy for you to say, Black. You're used to doing the pranking, not being pranked. I, on the other hand, had to live through not only you and the miscreant marauders, but the terror twins as well." Snape retorted, rolling his eyes. This seemed like enough conversation for him, though, because he continued his examination of the chicken.

Camy covered her mouth delicately with her hand to stop the laughter as Snape leaned forward over the chicken and sniffed it like he was trying to snort the poor deceased delicacy up his nose. To even Minerva's amusement, the chicken lifted off the plane an inch or two when the hooked-nosed man inhaled.

It wasn't until surprised shouts rang out th great hall, however, that the other professors began to believe Snape.

Camy calmly sipped at the potion-in-a-mug that ha appeared at her place while the other professors looked on in a mix between horror, laughter, and curiosity. It seemed every single one of the students had turned into a carbon-copy of Malfoy Jr.

Calamity broke out as a quarter of the hall headed towards the Weasely twins. Another quarter headed after Malfoy, whilst the remaining half wailed. The girls weren't pleased about looking like a boy, regardless of how pretty he looked.

Quickly McGonagall and a team of house-elves worked to break up the students and send them on their way to class. The teachers looked at their breakfasts reluctantly before heading off as well.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Camy watched from her place behind an added desk as a bunch of first years filed into the classroom. Camy was glad it was her seventh class. She was beginning to see the signs Remus had told her to watch for.

When the classes' attention wandered, or when they didn't understand, for example. The students ignored her, for the most part, as they took their seats. Normally this was impossible because of her heritage, but Camy had learned that Remus was such a good teacher that students could be almost literally entranced by the lesson.

If she stayed completely still until then, no one really took notice of her. So it wasn't until a few minutes after Remus entered that she filled her quill with ink and put it to the parchment. Remus smiled at her, eyes shining in his 'teaching-and-loving-it' mode for a moment before he returned his attention to the class.

Camy found herself blushing and unable to concentrate for a few minutes. Frowning, Camy thought little of it and continued with her notes. After all, she hadn't been feeling well lately. Perhaps this was merely another side-effect of her peculiar...illness.

The class flew by quickly and Camy found herself enjoying every minute of it. Earlier Remus had confided that it was just your basic 'Poltergeist' lesson, but she found it thrilling. It didn't hurt that it was Remus teaching it, either.

"So, in effect, Beware of Peeves. Now, please turn in your assignments to Miss Smith. Next time I'd like you to turn in two scrolls on the difference between pixies and fairies." Remus concluded. The students, as though waking from a daze, gathered their things and left. Camy was still bent over her parchment, though.

------------------------------------------

Remus, seeing her quill moving almost frantically across her paper, began to walk over. He'd taken no more than a step, though, before Camy glanced up.

"Don't move! I'm not done yet!" she ordered, and Remus found himself oddly content to just stand there and watch her. Her quill seemed to go in every direction, even making vertical lines. Finally she seemed satisfied.

"Alright, now I'm done." She sighed.

"I'm curious...what could you have taken notes on? Even my students couldn't find much to take notes on." Remus remarked lightly as he drew closer. Much to his amusement, she blushed.

"They're not notes...exactly..." She mumbled. When he looked down at the paper, he found himself even more amused and slightly flattered. She'd drawn a cartoon-like picture of him teaching. Here and there around the picture were parts of his lecture. Camy poured some sand over the parchment and let it sit for a moment before dumping it back into the jar. That accomplished, Camy rolled up the drawing and placed it back into her bag. She was just shouldering her bag when Remus spoke.

"Camy, would you mind joining me for lunch?" He asked. Startled somewhat, Camy met his eyes and her mouth twitched. "That is...I mean...I wanted to discuss next time's lesson with you..." Remus stammered, realizing what the former question had sounded like.

"Yeah, sure. You just startled me is all." She replied, laughing off the awkwardness of a few moments ago.

okay, so...that's this chapter! Once again, please review!
