HAPPY HOUR AT HOGWARTS:
AND NOW, FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, AND ONLY SLIGHTLY RELEVENT:
One day as Oliver Wood sat in an empty classroom, applying his weekly hair
masque and practicing his dazzling smile, two piss drunk figures staggered in.
"Professor McGonagal? Professor Lupin?" Oliver asked quizzically.
"Oh, Remus, it's our Woliver Oood! Come on sweetie pea!" McGonagal
lead in Lupin queasily.
"Er, Professor, I thought that you two were broken up..."
"Oh, well," Professor Lupin took over, "after all there's only
one pub in town, and I supposssse..." Professor Lupin trailed off, then
jerked back up, "we just ended up together, and got 'ta talkin'
annddd..." he trailed off again, and Professor McGonagal took over.
"Welll, we decided to tell ya the truth..."
"Er, the truth?" Oliver asked, wondering if this was some kind of
wild dream.
"Yessir!" Lupin took over again, "Well I suppose this all begins
in my fifth year...the, er, professor here was in her prime I suppose, and I,
er, was a dashing soon-to-be-sixteen-year-old..." Oliver felt a large
queasy feeling drop into his stomach. "And, well, you know...or must we
give you that talk?"
"Er, no professor," Oliver said hastily, "but why, how?"
"Ummm, it was spring break," McGonagal slurred, "And I think it
had something to do with young Severus Snape spiking the spring break
punch..."
"And, ummmmm," Lupin trailed, snapped back up, "Your dad had
gone off to spend the week with Lily, something about him being gay and in love
with the dark lord...and Sirius was spending break in Hagrid's hut, and I was
left all alone..."
"Okeydokey..." Oliver said with eyebrows raised, "What does this
have anything to do with?"
"Well," McGonagal seemed a bit on edge as she continued, "A week
later I discovered that I had, er, 'an owl in the owlrey' if you know what I
mean..."
"We decided to keep it a secret, luckily the child was born in the summer
months" Lupin took a little sigh and went on, "We found some people
to take the child in, and that was that."
Now, Oliver, not the brightest of sorts, asked, "And what happened to that
child?"
McGonagal, looking very meaningfully at Oliver said, "He went on to
Hogwarts, and actually played very good Quidditch..."
"Really? Did he play on the house teams?"
"Umm, he actually has been the captain of the Gryffindor team for the past
few years..."
"Now hold on a minute, I am the Gryffindor captain!"
"Er, that's what we're saying, you are our son, the forbidden love child
of a sultry professor and a dashing young student!" Lupin cried.
"No! No! NOOOOO!!!" Oliver cried, looked around, and shrugged,
"oh, well, this explains a lot. Like that time you tried to make me
cookies Prof. McGonagal...No, really," catching the look on McGonagal's
face, "you tried, and that's good enough for me Profe-mom."
McGonagal glowed with motherly pride. "Oh, son, we, we, we love you!"
"Oh, I love you too Mom, Dad!!" Son cried to parents as they shared
their first family hug.
