The Later Years
Part II

"I was thinking that I could call George Weasley and Fred Weasley and see if they wanted to be the assistant care-takers, since Filch has retired." said Lupin.
"Oh, REMUS!" said Harry, clutching his sides. "That's a SPECTACULAR idea... Remember how Filch HATED Fred and George? They'd be PERFECT! They'd spice up the castle. It hasn't been cheery here since Dumbledore retired and McGonagall passed the job to you..."

"Class, watch carefully!" Professor Potter said. (Heehee, that sounds funny... Professor Potter) "I am going to turn this match into a needle. After I do this, I would ask that you please turn these needles into matches. Turning things into something else is very difficult, so I don't expect you to do it the first time, though I have had people do that before."
It was difficult teaching a class, for they all they wnated to do was ask hem questions in turn and they all wanted to know about him, how he defeated Voldemort, (gasp! I said it!) and how he got his scar. He ended up telling them that class was class, and they had to get back to work.

"Class, what are we studying today?" asked Professor Weasley, flipping through his book. "Are we due to study Red-Caps or Werewolves today?"
A small boy that was chubby and clutched a toad in one hand raised his OTHER hand.
"Sir, we were due to study Red Caps today."
"Thank you, Leon , you may sit down, and five points to Gryffindor for your good memory. Are uI do not think that we should study Red Caps today, for I just received a Warndlery (Warned-leery) in the mail. They are interesting creatures, hiding in cupboards and eating people's food. They tend to like cupboards because..." Ron droaned on and on, sounding quite the Professor Binns.

"Now, class!" said Professor Granger sternly. "PAY attention! This is a very difficult potion I am going to brew, and I won't teach it again. Please get out your cauldrons, and your scales."
The class groaned. This new teacher was TOUGH! Even if they were fifth year Ravenclaws, they still didn't like potions.

"So, Harry. Here you are!" said Lupin in a pleasant voice. "How was your first week? Were your students good? Did they behave? Did any of them show perticular talent? If so, then do they need to be moved up a class?"
"Whoa! Hold your owls here! One at a time. Yes, I had an EXCELLENT week, I had good students, They behaved, they were perfect little angels, except for Kelsey Weasley (she's George's daughter), and I think that Leon Longbottom should be moved to the next class up, because he shows outstanding talent."
"Well, I'll think about it." said Lupin thoughtfully.
