Harry P.O.V
I slept till midday, and I was pretty sure everyone else did too, after staying up all night to explain the wizarding world. When I finally woke up, I left Remy in bed, fast asleep. I took a shower, and got dressed, and wandered downstairs to find that mum and dad were already up and talking to Professor Xavier.
"Good morning!" I said, smiling at them. I held my hand out to shake Professor Xaviers. "Sorry I didn't get a chance to introduce myself properly last night- furry little problem and all that- Harriet Potter."
"Well, it's nice to meet you Harriet. As you know, I am Professor Charles Xavier. I was just talking to your parents about magical creatures."
"I take it you've met Dobby." I said, sitting down.
"Yes, I have. Quite interesting too. He seemed, hyper, for lack of a better word."
"Ah yes, that's definitely Dobby. He's a good friend though, he's saved my life in the past. I met him in my second year, and I helped to set him free from his previous Masters, the Malfoys."
"Bloody git's the lot of them." Dad muttered, earning himself a smack across the back of the head from mum. "OW! What was that for Lills?" He complained.
"Predjudice comments. You covered the whole family with that comment. There could very well be a nice Malfoy, like Sirius is a nice Black."
"Point taken. But Lucius, Narcissa and Draco are all Death Eaters. They took the Mark willingly."
"I'm not so sure about Draco, Dad."
"Oh, come on Harriet, he's a pureblood supremisist and you know it. He called Hermione, and others, you-know-what, and he took the mark. He also almost killed Dumbledore. He was the one to let Death Eaters into Hogwarts in your sixth year!"
"I don't think he did it willingly. You forget, I was in the astronomy tower that night, with Dumbledore. He was lowering his wand, he couldn't do it. He only became a Death Eater, because he was scared." I argued. "Yes he's a git, but I'm with Dumbledore on this one. He deserves a second chance."
"We'll see." Dad said.
"So, apart from House elves, are there any other creatures you want to know about, Professor?" Mum asked, changing the subject.
"Well, there are a load of fairy tales and ledgends that include magical beings, like dragons, fairies and the such, are any of those creatures real? Well, I assume from Miss Weasley's comment last night, that dragons exist, but what else?"
"Well, fairies also exist, along with many other magical beasts and beings, such as goblins, centaurs, vampires, giants and the like. There are also others that maybe you wouldn't have heard of." Mum explained.
"Well this is certainly going to be difficult to explain to the students." the Professor chuckled.
"Maybe you should add a class to the curriculam, not a compulsory one, but one that the students could take to learn more if they wanted to know more than the basics." I suggested.
"That's a great idea." The Professor nodded. "Would any of you know anyone who'd be willing to teach it?"
"Well, Harry's a natural teacher." dad said.
"I thought you wanted me to be a pro Seeker, dad."
"Trust me, you can be a teacher as well, and it's good to have a back up career with Quidditch." dad said.
"You would know this, how?" I asked.
"Auror and Chaser." He said simply.
"Funny, neither of them are exactly safe." I said.
"Tell me about it." mum said, shuddering. "But there's also Remus. Past that, we'll have to put out an add in the news papers, or something."
"Well, first, I'll have break the fact that there is a secret society to the students first, and then get their input on things, but I'm pretty sure we're going to need some help, convincing them."
"I'm sure they'll come round to the idea. After all, you all did see two werewolves transform last night." I said, just as Dobby came out of the kitchen with food. "Thank you Dobby." I said.
"It's no problem!" He said, smiling. He seemed to be on the verge of tears from the simple thank you. He quickly scampered into the kitchen again, probably to cry without anyone seeing.
"What was that?" A voice asked from the doorway.
"Ahh, Scott!" The Professor said, smiling. "I do believe they're called House Elves."
"His name is Dobby." I said coolly to Scott. "He's saved my life in the past, and is a close friend of mine. He is definitely not a that."
"Harriet." My mother said, in a warning tone, giving me a glare.
"Sorry." I said to Scott. "I'm just protective of him. And Kreacher."
"That's alright, I'm sorry for saying anything of offence, I was just startled… is he crying?"
"Yes. He gets slightly emotional when he's praised. He must of heard me calling him a friend." I said.
Soon enough, everyone was awake, and the teachers from Xaviers were talking about the possible benefits of having a class on magic on the school syllabus.
I barely managed to stop Jean from eating a well placed custard cream before she turned into a giant canary, and forced Fred's mouth open and down his throat. Seeing him turn into a canary via one of his and his brother's own inventions was a right laugh.
We were willing to answer any question they had on magic, and even showed them a couple of memories in the pensive, including a couple of Quidditch games, my first ever one included.
Professor Xavier and the others that came with him all left early in the afternoon, promising that they would keep in contact. That then left us free to do whatever we liked. That was until Remy's cousin Marie and her husband Luke turned up, grinning like maniacs.
"Alright, what's up?" Remy asked them.
"I've found it!" Luke said grinning.
"Found what?" Remy asked.
"The cure to Lycanthropy!" Luke answered proudly.
