"Genie conversations"

Sa'd al-bari is Arabic for "lucky star of the excellent one"

Part XIX: The Order of Iag- er… the Phoenix Part 2

Coming from one of the other rooms, down at the other end of the hall, were strange strings and whispering voices. Harry recognized the voices straight away and smiled mischievously. He thought a little fun was in order after that emotional conversation with Sirius.

Harry carefully made his way into the bedroom, again not touching anything that was tainted magically. /Genie would be so proud…/

"I can't believe what the headmaster is telling us!" the enraged voice of Ron Weasley cut through the tears and sniffling of Ginny and Hermione in the otherwise quiet bedroom. After Molly Weasley had left the children at the second floor landing, the twins had apparated off to some other part of the house, while Hermione, Ginny and Ron went into the girls shared bedroom to digest what Dumbledore had told them. The trio had sat in silence for only a few minutes before Ron started pacing and ranting about everything they had just heard.

"Ron, it makes sense. Have you seen how upset Sirius has been since the meeting with Dumbledore last night?" Hermione was not happy about the news, but was trying to rationalize it as much as possible. Ginny, on the other hand was still in shock, unable to say anything about the death of her childhood hero and friend.

Ron was cut off from further ranting with the sudden double popping sounds of two cars backfiring, and the appearance of the twins. Ron yelped and jumped away from Fred, who was inches away from him when he apparated into the room.

"Greetings-"

"School going-"

"Siblings-"

"And Hermione."

The twin's odd way of speaking a sentence together barely fazed their younger siblings, or Hermione. The smartest witch of their age was more interested in the strange ears that Fred was holding to reprimand them on their speech patterns.

"What in the world? Why are you holding a set of ears? You better not have-" She was cut off by the twins,

"Hermione!"

"We're offended that-"

"You think so little-"

"Of us! Don't-"

"Even finish that thought."

"These lovely ears-"

"Are the greatest, most fabulous, invention-"

"To come out of our lab-"

"EVER!" The pair finished together.

Ron couldn't hide the disbelief on his face if he tried, "Ears? Really?"

"Not just any ears!"

"No, these are EXTENDABLE ears!" They held them up in a flourish, clearly expecting the other three to catch onto the genius of their invention.

They were met with blank stares instead. The twins sighed and each took an ear in hand.

"Watch-"

"And learn." They put a finger to their lips, and snuck out of the room. Bewildered and more than a little wary, Ron, Hermione and Ginny followed behind. The five of them snuck down the stairs. Fred and George put their ears up to the privacy ward surrounding the kitchen. As expected they didn't hear anything.

The twins nodded, and gestured for the other three to copy their position near the door. Completely confused the three Gryffindors also put their ears against the door. Ginny was about to speak, but George put a hand over her mouth, and the one holding the ear up to his lips. He then gestured up to the room they just vacated and the bewildered trio followed the twins back upstairs.

Before heading back into the room though, Fred and George dangled the end of the nearly invisible string down over the side of the railing and let it slide down to the door of the kitchen. They then walked backwards into the room, and let the string fall under the door as they closed it up behind them and their younger friends.

"Now can you tell us what is going on?" Ron was angry enough as it was, he wasn't sure how much more of the twins antics he could take.

"Why, yes!"

"We can-"

"Brother dearest."

"These ears will-"

"Let you listen-"

"Through ANY type-"

"Of privacy ward!"

"Listen!" The pair of pranksters said together. They handed the youngest male Weasley an ear, and shared the other one between themselves.

Ron blinked at the ear sitting in his hand before putting it up to his ear. "Bloody Hell!"

"Ron! There's no need to be cursing!" He ignored his friend, with a shushing sound, and pulled her closer to the extendable ear.

Hermione's jaw dropped open as she began to hear the conversation happening in the kitchen- through Dumbledore's privacy wards. Not to be left out, Ginny moved over to the older pair and sat as close as she could, so she could also hear what they were talking about.

The five Gryffindors were able to listen to a whopping two minutes of the strange conversation, before a strange static-y sound started to make the private conversation begin to fade.

"Great invention guys! It barely works!" Ron threw the ear to the ground when the static took over completely and they couldn't hear anything anymore. He crossed his arms in a huff, "now I'm even MORE confused by what's going on then before!"

George picked up the ear and started reeling in the nearly invisible string. After a couple seconds, there seemed to be a tugging coming from the string. "What in the world?"

The string was seemingly caught on something. George tugged harder on the string. The string tugged back, startling the young inventor, "Forge! Come help! The string is caught on something!"

Fred came over and held onto George, they counted to three together and pulled. The string gave some, but suddenly stopped again abruptly before being pulled back the other way, sending the pair toppling onto each other. "Iiieee!"

"A little help here please?" When George and Fred finally detangled from each other, they grabbed Ron, Ginny, and Hermione and created a human chain.

"On three."

"One."

"Two."

"THREE- Pull!" The five of them pulled, and pulled. They seemed to be getting somewhere, but whatever they were pulling against was strong.

"I swear if it's that stupid house elf…" Ron growled from behind Fred.

"Ron, don't even finish that sentence!" Hermione was gasping from both pulling and reprimanding Ron at the same time.

"Hey! We've almost got it! One more huge tug everyone… ready… NOW!" Ginny noticed whatever was tugging against them was slowly making its way under the door.

There was a sudden POP and the five Gryffindors suddenly toppled backwards into a heap of arms, legs, and curses, when the tugging force working against them suddenly let up.

When they were all untangled from their heap on the floor, there were a couple jaws dropped and some gasping.

"What is that?"

"Awww! It's so cute!"

"It's eating-"

"Our extendable ears!"

"Quick! Grab it!" The twins said together and made to grab the small, silver, furry creature munching away on the string from the extendable ear.

The creature scurried away, faster than the twins, which ended in the pair in another pile on the floor. Muffled cursing filled the room.

"It looks a little like a gerbil…" Hermione was leaning close to the creature looking it over. It turned giant eyes on her when she heard him speak, all the while still munching away on the string.

"It's so cute!" Ginny went over to the… gerbil… and trailed her fingers over his fur.

"Ginny stop it could be dangerous!" Ron pulled Ginny away from the strange creature after a second, and pulled her back to the bed. The twins were again untangled and had their wands out and trained on the small creature.

"Cute or not-"

"It's eating our invention!" The twins shared a look and at the exact same time, shot spells at the strangely colored gerbil.

It let out a yelp and turned its giant eyes on the twins, complete with little tears, but seemed to be otherwise unaffected by the magic. The twins narrowed their eyes, leveled their wands, and even against the cuteness of the teary eyes, shot another spell at the creature. Ron had also snuck up on the creature and poked it with his wand.

In turn, the creature stopped chewing the string, making one final bite and cutting the string in half. It swallowed what was still in its mouth and narrowed his eyes at the boys.

The pranksters had enough brains to begin to feel worried. "I think-"

"We made-"

"It mad…" The gerbils nose twitched and he sneezed. The humans in the room let out a collective breath that they had been holding. Ginny and Hermione were cooing over the cute creature and the boys were trying to figure out why it looked so smug.

A strange scratching noise caught their attention. It seemed to be coming from the fireplace… the dresser… and from the chests at the ends of the beds.

"Uhh… guys? Didn't we clean this room already?" Ginny and Hermione pulled out their wands just in case.

"Yeah Gin, we did! What's with the noises?" Ron got closer to the girls in a hair brain attempt to keep them safe from the mysterious scratching.

Fred and George had no sense of self-perseverance and moved towards the dresser and chests. Hermione realized what they were trying to do a second to late, "No don't-!"

She was to late. The twins had opened the dresser and one of the chests… setting off a chain reaction of small silver furry creatures that looked exactly like the one sitting near the door to come flying from their hiding places. The twins were once again tackled under the sheer amount of small furry creatures mobbing them.

The opening of those two objects sent the creatures from the fireplace into the room, and the other chests to open of their own accord. In no time, the entire room was covered in small silver gerbils that were swarming the boys and licking at them with little tongues.

The boys let out startled screams, but the girls were even louder.

They in turn, heard the portrait of Mrs. Black go off in the downstairs hall, which lead to the small creatures letting out small screams of their own and causing the boys to let out girly screams also.

By the time Remus, Dumbledore, and Snape made it to the upstairs room, Sirius had come tumbling out of his room and the four adults threw open to the door that all the students were in wands at the ready- but they were totally unprepared for the chaos that met them.

They were perhaps, expecting some kind of death eater attack- what with all the noise coming from the room. But the scene of complete insanity that met them had all their jaws hitting the floor. With the exception of Snape, who had a good idea of what, or rather WHO was responsible for the large gerbil population currently turning the Weasley boys into little Slytherin mascots- completely green and silver in color, or climbing all over the girls sitting on the bed together, trying to keep away from the strange little creatures.

Snape could feel his headache from this morning come back full force. His eye was twitching something horrible and if looks could kill, every living being in the room would've keeled over in seconds. His voice took on a very dangerous edge, "What in the world is going on up here?"

All activity in the room froze, and you could've heard a pin drop in the dead silence that followed his sentence. The gerbils turned, as one, to look at the four adults standing in the doorway, taking on a slightly sheepish look in unison.

Sirius choked on a small laugh, his lips twitching into a smile. He glanced around the room, taking everything in and within seconds was rolling on the floor, tears in his eyes, as he laughed so hard he was having trouble breathing.

Severus' eye twitch became worse, while Remus and Dumbledore began to chuckle into their hands. They attempted to hide it away with a cough, but the end result was the same. Dumbledore's eyes were twinkling like mad.

Seeing Sirius in such good spirits seemed to lift the somber mood of the teens, who all began talking at once trying to explain what happened.

Dumbledore let the chaos go on for a couple minutes, the adults only catching a couple words like- gerbils, magic, ears, and invisible string, before holding up a hand to stop the students from explaining any further. He was closely watching the gerbils, and he had a fairly good idea of who was responsible for the mayhem happening in the room.

"Severous, my boy, do you mind?" Dumbledore turned his twinkling eyes to the potions master. The students were confused, and slightly afraid they were about to get in serious trouble when, "Sa'd al-bari remove the rodents. Now."

There was a sigh, followed by an odd poofing sound, which had the students jumping in surprise, when all but one of the gerbils disappeared.

Said gerbil and Snape seemed to be having a starring contest, or silent conversation. Either way, the students were beginning to get apprehensive. What type of creature was this rodent anyway?

Snape narrowed his eyes; the gerbil narrowed its eyes.

Snape crossed his arms. The gerbil huffed, then poofed out of existence with a large puff of smoke. Something else reappeared in it's place- floating in the air, arms crossed, and looking highly amused. It had a tail of smoke, green/gold eyes, silver body, and long messy hair.

"Bloody hell!" Ron's exclamation sent the creature into a more amused facial expression. The young Gryffindor turned star struck eyes towards Severus, for probably the first time in his entire life, "Is that… you have… a real genie?"

The other Weasley's gasped, their facing taking on a similar star-struck expression.

Hermione, ever the skeptical one, narrowed her eyes, "Ron, what makes you think this creature is a genie? All he did was make some gerbils disappear. I thought genie's didn't exist either!"

The genie, if it could be considered one, raised an eyebrow at the young witch but didn't say anything. He instead turned his attention to the potions master, wondering how the adults would handle this conversation.

Severus, for his part, ignored the Gryffindors in the room and instead asked the being responsible for the chaos what the hell he was thinking. "Explain yourself. Now."

Harry, debated for a millisecond on whether or not he wanted to tease Severus like earlier that morning, but decided against it in the end. The potion's master looked a tad twitchy as it was. There was no need for him to further annoy his master.

Yet.

"The twins shot magic at me. I retaliated." He switched his smoke tail for legs, and sat Indian style in the air, waving one arm around in the general direction of where the boys were still situated on the floor. "The other one poked me with his wand."

Severus turned his glare on the male Gryffindors, who shrank back under the look. They all started talking at once, but again no one could understand a word they were saying.

Remus was starting to get a slight headache, even though he still found the entire situation amusing. He decided to help Severus out, even if the potions master would never acknowledge it in any way shape or form. "Alright boys. Stop for a second."

The werewolf turned his attention back to the genie, "Could you please explain why they did what they did?"

Harry shifted his attention between the boys and adults. He shrugged, held out his hand, and coughed up the almost invisible string he had been chewing on when he realized what the twins had created. "They were using the ears in their hands, combined with this string to listen in on the private conversation you were having downstairs. At least, I assume it was supposed to be private, with the amount of magic you had surrounding the room you were in."

The students knew they were busted when all four adults turned angry or disappointed stares at them. "Indeed, and what exactly did you hear from the conversation."

"Ah, professor Snape, sir," Hermione drew the attention away from the boys, making everyone turn to her, "You were talking about the ah… the genie…," her hesitance spoke of her skepticism on whether he actually was a genie or not, "and if he was still hurt from a wish you had made… and how he seemed to be better off today than yesterday. After that it got a little fuzzy because he," she pointed at Harry, "was chewing on the string, making it so we couldn't hear very well… something about Slytherin I think."

"Thank you Ms. Granger for your honesty." Dumbledore spoke up before Severus could give the students a year's worth of detention for what they did, "Now, we have some serious misdeeds happening up here and we need a serious punishment to make you understand the gravity of the situation we find ourselves in. Fred, George, while the invention you have no doubt created can be very useful in our fight against Voldemort, how you went about using it, to spy on secret Order business, showed a dangerous lack in judgment. We will be discussing this with your mother to come up with a suitable punishment for you five."

"Come on kids, lets go get some sandwiches and see about sorting out your cleaning schedule for the next week or so." Remus spoke up and turned towards the door. The adults filed out and turned expectantly to the students, who all got up and death marched their way down to the kitchen.

Sirius and Sa'd al-bari shared a chuckle at their expressions and the fact that the boys still didn't realize they had a paint job.

Before leaving the room Ginny turned towards Snape, "will Sa'dle…err.. the genie be joining us for lunch professor?"

Said genie shrugged and looked over at Severus to see his master's reaction. He could be slightly miffed about that little prank and send him into his lamp. Although he was doing them all a favor by chewing up the strings.

"It might be a good idea Severus," said Remus, "since the students know about him now they are going to be asking a lot of questions. Best to let him answer some as well, don't you think?" The unspoken, perhaps we can get more information out of him than last night, went unsaid but both Severus and genie caught the unsaid sentence.

/Good luck with that…/ Harry was up for a challenge today, he gave a secretive smile. Severus nodded to allow it, not noticing the look on the genie's face and followed the students back down to the kitchen.

Harry took one more look around the room and poofed himself down to the kitchen. He made the twins yelp with his entrance, which in turn made Ron chuckle and mention something about payback.

Molly Weasley came into the room with Dumbledore, who was explaining Sa'd al-bari's presence to her, which made it to she didn't scream upon seeing him. She did however get the same star-struck look in her eye with seeing a genie. The headmaster then proceeded to explain the commotion that went on earlier and the Matron Weasley gave all the students a lecture of her own on spying and staying out of the Order's business, while making everyone sandwiches and getting them drinks.

"What kind of sandwich would you like dear," she was speaking to Harry, who, upon realizing this fact, stopped analyzing what appeared to the humans, as seemingly random parts of the room. What he was actually doing though, was inventorying the areas of the house that had the largest concentrations of evil magic tainting them.

"Oh, nothing for me thanks." He turned to look at his old friend's mother, because he knew she would be persistent.

"Nonsense dear, everyone needs to eat!" She began putting a sandwich together for him.

"I'm sorry ma'am, but I'm not a wizard, nor a human really. I have no reason to eat food and I do not want to waste something that could be used later. I will not eat what you put in front of me unless my master wishes me to." He was amusing himself by flying around upside-down and making smoke animals with his tail in the air.

"It's fine Molly, do as he says." Severus nodded at her.

Molly huffed and put the ingredients away. She then turned her attention to the children, "we will be discussing your punishment after you all get washed up after lunch. Especially you boys- you are such a mess!"

The young Weasley males, noticed for the first time that they were completely covered in green and silver, the colors of their rival house, let out a yelp of surprise. This in turn sent the adults in the room to break into varying levels of amusing looks. Ranging from chuckles (Sirius and Harry) to sneers (Snape).

Conversation at the table was mainly about how Snape came into possession of the lamp, and some of the things discussed last night by the four adults, including how they came upon the news of Harry's death. This led to Hermione wanting to see proof that he was an actual genie, because he could just be working for Voldemort right?

With some prodding from Dumbledore, Snape took the lamp out of his robes, setting it on the table for the young Gryffindors to see. Ron and Ginny explained the Hermione the significance of the lamp, which led to Sa'd al-bari explaining the rules and limitations on his wish granting ability.

"With the exception of those rules, I must grant whatever wish my master wants," Harry said with a shrug. It had been a long time since he'd interacted with his mortal friends, but he also knew about Hermione's crazy scheme last year to try and free the house elves. Around Halloween last year, Dobby, the Malfoy house elf had been tortured and killed, his body port-keyed into the Great Hall during the feast with a note that read These creatures have outlived their usefulness. Surrender or be turned into the new generation of house elf slaves.

It had been left unsigned, leaving everyone speculating on whether it was Voldemort, or as Rita Skeeter had been writing in The Prophet, "Harry Potter and Sirius Black working to overthrow the wizarding world."

After what had happened with Cedric Diggory's body, most of the wizarding world- those who knew nothing of The Order of the Phoenix, believed it was Harry and Sirius.

Hermione went into a rage at the treatment of house elves in most wizarding families, and made it her personal mission to free as many as she could. It made a lot of people in their house extremely upset with her, especially when the house elves began flat out refusing to go anywhere near their house.

After the stunned silence of Harry's statement wore off, Hermione, as he had guessed, wanted to do something to help. "What! Professor, please! You have to free him! That's horrible- no creature should be put to use the way… Sa'd… Sa'dleberry is!"

Harry chuckled as she messed up his name, "Sa'd al-bari actually. And that would be my master's choice to make. I can not push my own desires into his wishes, it's against the rules."

"Indeed Granger," Snape spoke up, casually putting the lamp back into his robs. He knew how the smart witch's mind worked and wouldn't put it past her to try to make a grab for the lamp just to "try for herself to make sure he was telling the truth about the genie," "Black over there already made an attempt to free the genie. As you can see, the attempt failed."

Harry nodded in agreement.

During all of this, the twins, who had been mysteriously quiet through the conversation, pulled out their wands in unison. No one knew what was happening until they heard them both mutter, "accio lamp."

Before anyone could react, Harry's lamp went flying out of Severus' robes. It was snatched out of the air and held onto in a vise grip.

Looks of horror, disbelief, anger, and slight amusement (Harry), were turned onto the twins.

"WHAT, do you think you're DOING?" Was the enraged yell from Snape, which inadvertently set off the portrait of Mrs. Black…. Again. The noise for Harry, who'd never been here before and had only heard the portrait from upstairs, was three times louder than before. That faint trace of evil magic, which saturated the house was ringing through the room, from the yells of the portrait. He began screaming as well, like upstairs but only louder because he couldn't block out the noise at this proximity, and made a dive for the lamp, still held by his new master.

Noise in the lamp was damped out enough for him to catch his bearings and not feel like he was being torn in two. It wasn't as bad as people trying to wish for his freedom, but it was definitely high on his list of stuff that melted his brain.

Harry's amusement from the twin's earlier trick was completely gone. /This year is going to be interesting… I can already tell…/

-End Part XIX-

Author's note: …wow. So yeah… I figuratively died. It wasn't pretty. I thought to myself, "self? This year (2011), is your LAST YEAR of the complete insanity that is the first three years of your master's program… you'll have PLENTY of time to work on stuff for work… and finding a house… and writing the rest of this chapter… after you finish classes in July…" Ha! HA, I say! It was all an delusion. A sad, sad delusion that I had a life outside of the program. BUT my thesis is turned in… all 9inches of binder of it… (don't ask…trust me)… and I CAN BE FREE! FREE I TELL YOU!

I know it's been forever, I do apologize… I really thought I might have a bit of time to write… but having to spend so much time on the computer writing/analyzing/organizing, I couldn't make myself do anything outside of read fanfics or fantasy books b_b or watch the insanity that is A Very Potter Musical and it's sequel on You Tube (shameless plug right there… have you seen them yet?)

Author's note Take 2: On a random side note- this chapter totally took on a life of it's own when I started writing it. Like the entire last 3 pages TOTALLY did not happen in any way shape or form of how it looked in my brain. I don't even think I was consciously writing any of it at one point- just letting my fingers type out insanity. So, sorry if it sucks on top of being totally late… That thing with the portrait at the end came about because there is this incessant BUZZING coming from somewhere around my apartment building- like someone is trying to blow up an air mattress but left the stupid thing going for the last 2 HOURS. Yeah. I might have to stab something soon if it doesn't stop. Twitches…

edit to ANT2-I've come to find out that someone was having some kind of carpet cleaning take place in the next building over. SERIOUSLY? carpet cleaning AT NINE O'CLOCK AT NIGHT? WTF PEOPLE? omg.
