Home Alone? Oh Not Again:

Rose puffed in a cloud of pink and looked around. Some old Hogwarts, same old students, no, now that was not true at all. For standing by Harry Potter outside on a cold November day was a boy, she knew well. This was Kevin McCallister who, when he was eight was left home alone. Two bandits had tried to rob his house and through traps and the like, he had sent them to the hospital and jail. The same thing happened when he was nine but in New York City. Rose quickly did a little investigation and had her answers. Kevin was magical, the bandits were there to test him and Harry Potter had been his friend for years. Right now Kevin was talking with Harry, Ron, Hermione and Neville as they sat huddled around a magical fire.

"We have nothing to worry about, it's a trap." Kevin was saying, "Not sure for who yet but it is a trap."

"Are you sure?" Hermione asked.
"It makes since, I mean uncle Harry and uncle Marv, and well they would know." Kevin said.

"You have strange uncles." Ron said, "That Lord Black would stoop to doing that."

"Why not?" Harry replied, "I mean I had to stay with my aunt and uncle and I had a jolly good time, I can't go back for Christmas this year as aunt Marge is going to rehab and they want to be there for her."

"Were your relations good to you?" Neville said.

Harry grinned, they had been very good to him, well mostly, he hated the dance lessons and was not too fond of etiquette lessons either but the martial arts and meditation were not so bad now. Rose knew that the traps could hold Voldemort if one more thing was added and so she went to add that. She came out of the third floor corridor to find Severus Snape there. Before he could shoot any curses at her, she walked up, hugged him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. His brain shut down for a few seconds and then he all but ordered her to the headmaster's office. He tried to ignore her humming "we are off the see the wizard".

They went up the stairs, into the office and Rose sighed at seeing AK there. She dosed him with water just as he was about to light up and turned to see Dumbledore there clearly amused. It was not everyday two dimension travelers came to see him. He could feel the light and good off Rose and knew she was not going to be a problem. He looked over at AK who had dried himself with a wave of his hand and tried to lite up another cigarette only to get dosed again, he threw a killing curse at Rose who blocked it with a shield (yes, same one).

"So your dark dork will be finished by the end of the year." Rose said, "Let him get through the traps." Rose said, "Seems the Dursleys here were nice, still strict but at least they raised Harry right. I am however worried a bit about Kevin."

"He is a nice boy." Dumbledore said.

"Ah yea but his parents set up two tests for him to pass, and let's just say he is a vicious little brat, I love him but he could have killed his uncles if they were not magical."

"Wait the bandits were his uncles and were magical?" Severus asked.

"Oh yes, and Kevin did not know that first time that he was being tested, and thought he was dealing with muggles and he still set traps that should have killed them." Rose said.

"I don't see a problem with that." AK said, "They are as close to dark lords as you can get without crossing over."

"No they are not, their pranks are not that bad, and they are pranks." Rose replied, "then the second time, he knew he was being tested, knew they were his uncles and he really upped the 'lets see what they can take' factor. He may look like a cute kid but he is anything but."

"The unspeakable will get him." Severus said, "I hardly see what the problem is."

"Well, I hope you are right, alright AK, you can get lost." Rose said.

"No, I…" He never finished that as Rose snapped her fingers and he was gone not to return.

"There, he is a nasty bit of work." Rose said, "So Voldemort will be gone by the end of the year."

"And Kevin is not a bad kid, he is like any other little boy who wanted to save his families home and stop criminals." Severus replied, "I would have done the same."

"The second time?" Rose asked.

"You have met Sirius Black and Marvin Miggs?" Severus countered.

"Point taken." Rose said, "Can I teach?"

"What would you teach?" Dumbledore asked.

"Magical culture." Rose replied.

"Of course, there is an unused classroom on the second floor, it is all yours my dear." Dumbledore said.

Rose would have taught magical defense but with Kevin here, that was not needed. She knew he was teaching his friends all sorts of things to really hurt the enemy and she shuttered. He was a vicious little boy and unlike most little boys he had the smarts to take out several people and make it hurt too. She stayed the year to see Voldemort trapped and taught everyone who wanted to come all about magical culture. Her class was so popular she had to teach it three times a week, but she did not mind. At least the muggle born or first generation would be well prepared for the magical world and even Hermione understood house elves better. Now she advocated for them being treated fully like family as that is what they were in their families.

At the end of the year, Quillmort went down through the traps. At the last one he ended up transported to the veil where Harry waited. He used an extra large mallet to send the evil dark lord through and happily headed back to Hogwarts and his reward; treacle tart followed by a banana split then a chocolate cake and strawberry shake. Rose did not point him to the headmasters office nor did she give him the password. Nope, not she. Dumbledore had a good laugh and took the over sugared boy out to an amusement park. He was able to blend in, his white beard was shortened so that it looked neatly trimmed and his long hair was tied back. He was clad in a hard rock tee shirt and jeans and Harry, still in school uniform (minus the robe) looked like his grandson. Severus was not amused at this when he came up.

"So when he comes back he will really be bouncing off the walls." Severus said.

"No, the headmaster, oh yea, he would, oh well, let the headmaster have fun with his grandson." Rose replied, "Harry has a right to celebrate."

"Kevin is still in the school, with no headmaster here." Severus said.

"Oh dear." Rose replied.

There were screams of terror and the first time in living memory it was Peeves who was being horribly pranked. Kevin came up with a perfectly innocence look on his angelic features, I mean how could someone who had such perfect blond hair and blue eyes with such a charming smile do anything wrong? Severus knew and so helpfully gave him detention and wrote his mother. The howler that came was one word that was as loud if not louder than any howler Mrs. Weasley had sent, that one word was :KEVIN!

OMAKE:

Rose was sitting under a tree looking out over one of the great lakes somewhere in American in a dimension far, far away. She was sipping a Coke Zero™ enjoying the day and not watching as AK tried to bother her yet again. He was now playing basketball with his Voldie-ball™.

"I don't like it when you banish me." AK said.

"Tough, get used to it, I would rather stay light, and all, do you want a fizzy drink?" Rose asked.

"No thank you." AK said, "I do like that Kevin kid."

"You would." Rose replied.

She went back to her book wondering why she kept running into AK. Well she could figure that out later, right now she was going to read "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" again as she did like a good laugh.

Yes, Kevin McCallister who always knew how to look so innocent and sweet. Yet his brother had a reason for terrorizing him and look what he did to the wet bandits, twice.
