Chapter 19: Lupin's Arrival and Day Two Ends…

"Professor-L-L-Lupin!" Hermione said in complete shock. Professor Lupin was thinking fast, for many Muggles as well as wizards in disguise had stopped to see what was going on.

"Miss Granger, how many times must I tell you that you don't stun him until after Miss Clearwater's line!" Lupin said quickly. "Please study your script more carefully!"

"Um-um-um-sorry Professor Lupin, oh wonderful Drama coach of mine," Hermione said quickly.

"Now please get Mr. uh-"

"Percy," Penelope chimed in.

"Percy to the medic's room. Sorry folks, please go back to your activities! Just rehearsing here," Lupin said to the crowd who had begun to gather. He laughed nervously. Many of the Muggles chuckled and went back to their activities. He went over to Hermione.

"What was that all about! You know better than that," Lupin hissed in her ear.

"Sorry sir," Hermione said, greatly ashamed of her stupidity.

"You got him good though," Lupin added with a small chuckle. "Come Snuffles!" Sirius walked over by Sirius's side.

"Hullo Sir- Snuffles!" Hermione said, scratching him behind the ears. Penny and Lupin carried Percy into the elevator and Hermione and Snuffles followed.

"So what possessed you to stun poor Percy?" Lupin asked Hermione. "Did that Moody teach you that?"

"Well I didn't want him to get away, and that was the first spell that came to mind," Hermione said. The elevator stopped and opened onto the Third floor. They carried Percy into Lupin and Sirius's room and dropped him on the bed.

"I better get him un-stunned," Lupin said, pulling his wand out of his bag.

"No wait!" Penelope said. She got out her own wand, muttered a spell and a line of rope came out. She tied Percy to a chair. "Okay, ready." Lupin swished and flicked and un-stunned Percy.

"What was that all about?!?" Percy asked in fury. "I cannot miss my flight! Let me go!"

"What exactly do you need him for?" Lupin asked. Hermione explained the story to Lupin while Snuffles listened patiently. He couldn't transform with Percy and Penelope in the room.

"…and Percy totally misconstrued the situation when he saw Penny and Oliver. We couldn't let him leave without knowing the truth."

"I still don't believe you," Percy said bitterly. Penny burst into tears all over again.

"Well I believe this is a matter to be settled between Miss Clearwater and Mr. Weasley," Lupin finally said. "I hope you do make amends and make the right choices. I'll leave you two alone. I have matters to see to myself. And if anyone asks, I am blind." He put on a pair of dark black sunglasses and secured a leash on Snuffles. He left the room and Hermione followed, leaving Penny and Percy to solve their own problem.

"Why do you need to pretend to be blind?" Hermione asked as they rode the elevator down to the lobby again.

"So I can let Snuffles into the parks," he replied. "Otherwise I'd have to put him in a kennel." The doors opened and a Ministry officer was there to greet them.

"Miss Granger, underage witch, you have broken Law 1276 of performing a stunning spell while under age as well as in front of Muggles. Memories have been modified already and you are so far only given a warning," he said, writing out some sort of ticket.

"Letting me off that easy?" Hermione asked in complete surprise. Lupin and the officer were shocked at this remark. "I certainly expected a worse punishment."

"Well just be happy that your not fined or set for Azkaban," the officer said, handing Hermione the warning ticket. Hermione shuddered at the thought. "It's the Convention anyway, so underage magic is found to be a bit more excusable. Well, have a good day and try to keep out of trouble." The officer said his good-byes and stepped onto the vacant elevator. The doors shut and he disapparated as it ascending up the elevator shaft. The Muggle at the camera room stared at the screen in amazement, scratched his head, and decided he needed more coffee. Hermione, Lupin, and Snuffles boarded the shuttle back to EPCOT.

"Oh Harry will be so surprised!" Hermione said as she chatted with Lupin on the way. Snuffles sat obediently in the aisle. "What are you doing here anyway?"

"Well, once Snuffles got Harry's note, he had to visit. I felt it was out of the question, but once McGonagal called me up about the Hogwarts trip and the convention, we decided to come."

"Why'd she call you?" Hermione asked. She realized what a stupid question it was and brightened up at once. "Oh, you're the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher this year!"

"Yes, and hopefully until I retire," Lupin said, smiling. The shuttle finally reached the EPCOT parking lot and Remus Lupin, Hermione, and Snuffles got off. The driver was very kind and offered Lupin a Braille park guide.

"Err, thanks," Lupin said. They walked all the way past the gates, through Future World and to the World Showcase. Once they had reached Morocco, they turned left into the line for the Friendship boats.

"This is how we get to the convention. I don't know how though," Hermione said. They found Tomás just as he was about to set sail. He explained the process again and they soon found themselves inside the Mayan Temple of the Mexican Showcase.

"Oh look there's Harry!" Hermione said. He was still in the Quidditch exhibit with Ron, Neville and Oliver.

"Who's that with Hermione?" Harry asked Ron as she and Lupin and Sirius trotted over to them. Ron shrugged his shoulders and they met up with them.

"Hi Harry! You won't believe who I met up with at the hotel!" Hermione squealed. Lupin lifted his glasses and Sirius sat up. Harry nearly fell over with happiness at the sight of his favorite teacher and 'dogfather.'

"Professor Lupin!" Harry cried in glee. He knelt done next to Snuffles and hugged him as if he were his long lost pet. "Sirius!" Hermione kicked him.

"What's serious?" Neville asked in confusion. Oliver wore the same confused look.

"err…are you serious that you've brought Snuffles along!?" Harry said quickly.

"Of course, Harry. Seeing that he's my seeing-eye-dog," Lupin said.

"Professor, how did you get blind?" Oliver asked.

"Oh, fighting a Kappa that got into my Koi pond," he lied.

"Isn't it permanent?" Ron asked with great concern.

"I don't think so, but I know I'll be able to see again by next school term," Lupin replied. The others were so excited to hear he would be teaching again. Oliver explained that he would be a Hogwarts Teacher as well.

"We could be room mates!" Oliver said.

"Oh, I think you'd be better off rooming with the other Gryffindors," he said, hoping he wouldn't have to room with the 'Quidditch guy.'

Harry was filled with so much joy. He had his friends and family at the happiest place on earth. Who wouldn't be happy for him? He felt like he was in a dream, having nothing to worry about, just what Dumbledore wanted. With the convention, Walt Disney World, and the news that Lupin would be teaching again, they all forgot about their curiosity of the welfare of Dumbledore. What happened to him? While the students were enjoying the gift, Dumbledore was withering away, alone in his office far away at Hogwarts Castle. What was to become of him? Find out in the next chapter as the author takes you into the past. Anyway, the others are still at EPCOT…

The group (In case you forgot: The Grangers (plus Hermione), The Weasleys (plus the twins, Mrs. Weasley found them trying to set off Filibuster Fireworks in the Rio de Tiempo), the Longbottoms, Harry, Oliver, Lupin, and Snuffles) left the convention with much more parcels and packages than the previous day. Mrs. Weasley, Mrs. Granger, and Grammy Longbottom were showing off their purchases as they walked out of the Mayan Temple. Ginny clutched her bag very close to her and wouldn't show anyone its contents. Hermione had bought a weightless book bag from the Poppins Industries table. Neville had bought a Toad Paradise carrier for Trevor and a highly advanced Remembrall that verbally tells the user what he's forgotten. It immediately started chattering, saying he had left his moneybag at the convention. Luckily, there was no money in it anyway. Mr. Weasley had bought a book called Muggles Who Notice by Blenheim Stalk, Muggle expert and author of a myriad of books. He even had gotten it signed. Oliver was weighed down with all sorts of Quidditch things and Flying books he planned to use for the next school year. Though tempted to buy everything, Harry and Ron had managed to find some bargains from the Quidditch Exhibit. They had all sorts of things: collectors books, figures (though none were of Krum), trading cards, posters, and even a Quidditch Board game. Tomás opened up more transportals connected to their rooms, and they sent their purchases off so they can enjoy the rest of the park.

They all got Fastpasses for Test Track and headed back to visit the rest of World Showcase. As they passed Mexico they noticed the Tapestry of Nations parade march by. The beautiful giant puppets danced to the beat of the music. They reached a new land where the Norse architecture made it seem that they had jumped to a different continent. Harry read in his guide about a ride in what they learned was Norway: The Maelstrom.

"Now what's it all about?" Neville asked.

"It's another boat ride through the forests of Norway," Harry explained. "Afterwards, there's a movie about Norway."

They got into the line and finally reached the loading area, where they loaded the large wooden dragon-headed Viking Boats.

"Did you catch the hidden Mickey in that mural?" a cast member asked Ginny.

SPOILER OF MAELSTROM! If you have not ridden Maelstrom before, please do yourself a favor and scroll down to "That was great!"

"Where?" Ginny asked, looking at the mural. "Oh I see! Is it on that Viking in the boat! Oh look Hermione he has Mickey Ears!" The boat sailed away into an old Viking village. Soon the were trapped in a deep dense Norwegian Forest. A three-headed troll popped out of the brush. Everyone in the boat jumped in surprise, then later laughed at the troll.

"Ha-ha-ha! That's a troll?!?" Hermione laughed.

"You're not welcome here!" The troll cursed. "Go back! Back! Back Over the waterfall!" The girls squealed as the boat moved backwards. They looked behind to see an opening out into EPCOT and a waterfall. Everyone started to panic until the boat made a turn into a rocky passage where it plunged safely into a stormy ocean, where they viewed the modern Norwegian Ocean Liners and Oil Refiners.

Scroll here:

"That was great!" Ron said, laughing. They exited in a recreation of a Norwegian Harbor town where they entered the theatre. Deciding not to stay to watch, the group left to visit the other countries: China, Germany, and Italy.

China was only a short visit, for they stopped briefly to watch the Chinese Dancers and acrobats and browse through the store of priceless Chinese vases and other products. They took a few more photographs in front of the stunning Beijing Temple of Heaven: a circular colorful building resembling a fat tower. The next stop was Germany, which was a very accurate recreation of a small Bavarian Village. The wood framework designs on the buildings reminded one of seven Dwarfs' cottage. They found that Snow White had stopped by for autographs and pictures. The twins and Oliver stood in line for a picture with the girl whose skin was as white as snow, hair black as ebony, and lips red as the rose while everyone else browsed through the many shops and pubs. The next country was wonderful Italy, where Pinocchio was found signing autographs. The building in Italy was a reproduction of Doge's Palace of Venice. It had high arches, columns, and designs displayed the Venetian architecture of Italy. They revisited American Adventure, which was a very large colonial style building using forced perspective. Though the oversized doors and windows made it look like three stories, the building actually looked five stories high.

Soon it was time to Fastpass back to Test Track where everyone had a jolly good time.

"You're back!" Carrie Jean Greenberg said to Harry as she saw them exit.

"Hello Carrie!" Ron said to Carrie who waved back. They exited through the car exhibit again. After Test Track, they passes by the construction zone of Mission: Space, and the entered the dome like building of Wonders of Life, first taking a picture in front of the large DNA model. Inside Wonders of Life, they rode BodyWars, an exciting simulator ride that shrunk the riders in a futuristic vehicle and went through the human body to retrieve a splinter. After that they explored the pavilion, which had many activities, like the Cranium Command show, which went inside the head of a teenage boy. Harry saw the Dursley's, but neglected to say hello since they wouldn't reply anyway.

It was dark out when they exited Wonders of Life, and headed into the large silver building of the Universe of Energy: Ellen's Energy Adventure! The show had just started and they entered a darkened theater where a movie screen was playing a clip of comedienne Ellen Degeneres. She was done her speech when she began to talk to the audience.

"And to you people who just walked in, you're late!" she said as a million Ellens began to pop out. "Late! Late! Late! Late!"

"We're sorry!" Mrs. Weasley called out. The movie ended and the adventure begun as the doors opened to reveal rows and rows of seats.

"Is this the dinosaur ride?" Ron asked Hermione. She nodded as they took their seats. Another movie played with Bill Nye the Science Guy bringing the audience back in time into a jungle. He explained about Energy and all that and finally, the doors opened and the adventure begun. The rows of seats were actually ride vehicles and they started to move into the Dinosaurs' environment. It was a spectacular sight to see. Huge long necked dinosaurs were munching on leaves as they sat lazily in the water. The audience traveled through a rockier area of the Dinoland and found a T-rex battling a helpless Stegosaurus.

Soon, the journey through Dinoland ended, and the audience was back in the theater where they learned more about energy and watched Ellen ace her way through a game of Jeopardy, a quiz show.

"That was great!" Ron said, remembering the dinosaurs. "I didn't get all that energy stuff though…"

"It's how Muggles get along without magic!" Hermione said. "I thought you'd find out more interesting."

"That was so interesting!" Mr. Weasley said, remembering all that he learned. The other adults agreed. "So that's how they get along without magic…"

Another fun-filled day was over, and the group headed towards the exit where they boarded the shuttle.

"This place isn't too bad," Lupin said. "Have a good time Snuffles?" Sirius barked in agreement and the shuttle headed off. Although tired, everyone kept talking about that day's adventure. They had visited 11 countries all in one day and they had seen how things work and how the Muggle world had survived. It was interesting for everyone and they all had a good time. Finally the shuttle dropped them off and the weary guests trudged upstairs to their rooms. Harry went to sleepover at the Weasley's again and he found Hedwig and Pigwidgeon had made a mess on the balcony. Plants were knocked over and the railing was broken.

"How could they do all that?" Ron asked as he and Mr. Weasley picked up the broken wood pieces and put them back together.

"I have a bad feeling it wasn't them," Harry said, holding Hedwig on his arm. He looked out onto the Savannah plain and noticed what Dudley had seen before. A gazelle that looked like it was dictating orders to the other animals. It turned its head and saw Harry. Harry looked at it, blinked his eyes, and it was gone.
