Rose on the Grey, Part Two
Well, i think I'm going for malfoy and Aura (you know, they can rule the world together), but i'm not sure, so there's still no romance. Anyhow,r/r. And before i begin, i would like to share with you a short poem that express's my view on the election

Go Bush!
Go Gore!
Don't go either!
But Bush sucks more!

There you have it.

"Having a party, are we?" Aura walking in the room as though nothing had happened.

Malfoy, Ron, Harry, Hermione, and Snape stopped yelling at eachother, and turned to look at her, each with daggars flying out of their eyes. Aura plopped down on Dumbledore's couch and ignored them.

"Miss Grey, if you don't mind my asking-"

"Well, I do," Aura interuppted.

Snape ignored her. "-why exactly are you here?"

Malfoy answered for her. "Cause she couldn't cut in Durmstrang...or was it that her family...alas...had been permanatly moved..."

"FOR THE LAST TIME DR-" Aura began screaming, but was cut off as a somber figure entered the office.

"Well, I see you let yourself in." Dumbledore smile benevolently at all of them. "What seems to be the problem?"

Chaos broke out. Dumbledore laughed and held up a hand. "Snape first."

"Weasly here decided it would be funny to cast a mouse spell on Grey, here-" Aura glared at Ron. Ron smiled sardonically back "-but missed and gave Malfoy a tail." Malfoy sulked. "I, of course removed it for him-" Malfoy sulked again "-but while I was doing that Granger dropped some fairy wings in Grey's potion and made it explode." Hermione gave a small smile. "While I was tending to that, Malfoy thought it would be intresting to turn Harry a bright green." Dumbledore turned to look at Harry, who, indeed, looked like a overgrown elf that someone had stretched.

"I see." It was hard to tell whether Dumbledore was smiling or frowning. "But it seems to me that Harry and Aura have done nothing... Why are they here?"

"Potter's always doing something." Snape sneered maliciously. "If Granger and Weasly are doing something, Potter's behind it." Harry didn't even bother to glare at Snape. He was too busy being green.

"Yes, Snape," Dumledore said tiredly, wisely deciding against argueing here. "And Miss Grey?"

"Well..." Now Snape turneda bit red "...Albus, why is she here?" He croaked the last few words,true to his nature.

Dumbledore frowned at Snape. "To learn, I presume." He smiled at Aura. Aura glared back. "Is there any particular complaint you have against her?"

"Yes!" Snape said vehemently. "She's a Lestr..." At sight of Dumbledore's stern glare, he stopped short. "No," he siad meekly, spitting out the words. "Nothing."

"Good!" Dumbledore said, once again smiling. "You may go, Snape, I'll deal with this." Snape scowled and stomped out.

"Now." Dumbledore turned to smile indulgently at the remaining five students. "First thing first." He turned to Harry. "Harry, Proffessor Snape seems to think you has something to do with this. Did you?"

"I turned green," Harry muttered, looking at his hand with disgust. "But Snape seems to think that enough." He glared at the door that had closed behind the potions master.

"Proffessor Snape," Dumbledore corrected, blue eyes twinkling. "Well, for bravery presented at being turned green, I award five points to Gryffindor." His gaze changed to where Hermione and Ron wer slouched on one of the couches, and Malfoy stood. "Now, would you three care to say anything?"

"SHE STARTED IT!" Three resounding voices agreed for the first time in their five years at Hogwarts. They glared at Aura, who pointedly ignored them.

"Really?" Dumbledore asked, looking suprised. Harry snorted softly to himself; Dumbledore was never suprised. "I haven't hear anyone say she did anything."

Havoc broke loose.

"She called me a..."

"She acts so..."

"She IS a Lestr..."

"DRACO!" Aura jumped up from her seat. "Don't..."

Dumbledore smiled, and held up a hand. "Now, this all may be true, but I see no reason why that warrants any of your actions." He looked at them sternly. "However, because it is the first day of school you will not get detentions." Hermione breathed a sigh of relief. Some things would never change.

"I suggest you run along to Defense against Dark Arts." Dumbledore's eyes twinkled. "I believe you will find a pleasant suprise." Harry jumped up, and dashed out the door. Malfoy scowled and followed.

"He's kinda weird," Aura commented offhand, gaze following Harry.

Hermione opened her mouth and Ron clenched his fists, but Dumbledore waved them off before they could do anything.

"Aura, would you remain for a moment, please?" Aura scowled and sat down again.

"Yeah?"

"I was just wondering if there was anything you'd like to talk about. You were bought up by you're grandparents, were you not?" Dumbledore smiled pleasantly.

"Hmmm..." Aura pondered for a moment. "My dad and uncle are Azkazban, my mom died of the shock. Or something else," she added after a moment of thought. She smiled sarcastically. "No,thanks."

Dumbledore looked at her pityingly. "You may go, Aura," he said, sighing tiredly. Aura left.



"SIRIUS!" Harry yelled,unaware that he was attracting quite a number of stares by being a bright and vivid green. He paused. "Or is it...Snuff-"

"Whoa." Sirius laughed, looking slightly less bony then he had a few months ago. "Proffessor Black, actually." He frowned in mock sterness, or at least that's what Harry thought. "You're quite late, Harry."

"I got in trouble for being green," Harry told him, glaring at Malfoy, who had just slunk in the door and gone to sit with the other Slytherins.

Sirius opened his mouth to reply, but Hermione and Ron skidded in. "Sir...Snuff...Sirius?" Hermione looked confused.

"Proffessor Black," Sirius told them, smiling as Hermione and Ron sat down. "Well, now we are only missing one student, so I guess we can begin. We're discussing the lesser Dark Magics. Harry, would you please tell us what the spell is for drawing blood?"

Harry shrugged. "A death eater telling a joke?" he said lightly.

Sirius frowned. "No, and for joking about it, two points from Gryffindor." He turned to Hermione, who was waving her hand ferociously. "Yes , Hermione?"

"Tenantus Amar," Hermione said breathlessly.

"What, the blood curse?" A figure appeared in the doorway. "How pleasant."

"You must be Aura...Grey." Sirius frowned, as though trying to remember something. Aura shrugged off his gaze and sat down.

"Um...yes. Very good, Hermione." Sirius still looked disturbed. "Now..."

Harry frowned as Sirius continued, trying to figure out why Sirius was being so uptight. It didn't seem quite like him. In fact, Sirius's attitude had reminded him quite unpleasantly of Snape's.

"Whew," Hermione said, coming out from class. She was slightly breathless from answering all those questions. "I think Sirius is going to be areally good teacher." She smiled.

Ron scowled. "That's because you knew everything." He was still upset from not being able to tell a half life curse from a half death curse.

"That wasn't like Sirius at all," Harry said,coming out of the classroom. "I wonder...

"If he's not really Sirius?" Hermione asked. "No, that was definitely Sirius. You're just annoy he's actually teaching." She laughed.

Harry frowned. "Still..." Hermione shook her head pityingly. "Sorry, Harry. You might have to, you know, work."

"A concept foreign to the infamous Harry Potter, no doubt." Aura appeared from behind. She smiled nastily.

"Do you have any friends?" Harry asked, suddenly exasperated. Until now, he'd refrained joining his friends when they battled with the Durmstrang.

"Who needs friends when you've got enemies?" Aura asked him. "Would have thought you'd figured that out by now."

Harry smiled, a bit sadly. "Sorry, Aura. That's when you need them the most."


Yeah...I really have no idea where i'm going with this. Weird, i know. Anyhow, r/r so i know what to do.
