Chapter 12: Moona's Class

Harry woke up and looked over to see Moona sitting up in the bed next to
him, her arms resting on her knees that were pulled up under the covers.
She looked over to him "You up?" she asked smiling
"Mmm" Harry grunted and reached over for his glasses.
Harry was hesitant about asking Moona about seeing Voldemort as her
greatest fear. He was a little woozy when he got up, and he looked over to her
bed.
"Lunch is almost over. You better get up soon if you want to make it to
Care of Magical Creatures." And she got up and walked out.
Harry got up himself, and walked down to Care of Magical Creatures.
The class was gathered around the lake looking at something in the water.
Hagrid was explaining that these were Plimpies. Harry looked over and saw these
small, ball-like creatures that Merpeople didn't like. They also would attack
swimmers. So they had to tie these annoying creature's legs into knots. Because
that disables them.
This was not an easy task because they're legs were awfully slippery.
Draco was drawling in a very loud voice that he couldn't believe that he
couldn't go back to his common room after this class but that he had to go to
Moona's class. Moona finally got pissed off at him and turned his Plimpy into a
snow white ferret that bit his finger than ran off.
"Professor! I was just bitten!" He whined to Hagrid, who saw the whole
thing and was laughing histerically. He waved him off to the Hospital Wing.
Moona just sat there scratching her neck, looking at the three tangled Plimpies in
the tank before her. She watched Malfoy leave, glaring, the same sneer that he
had plastered on her face. The bell rang, and an announcement was heard over
the grounds, and inside the halls.
"All students will proceed to the great hall for their 'All You Wanted to
Know About Magic' lesson."
Moona was busy talking to Ron about how Flitwick was her great-uncle by
marriage. But her aunt had died. It seemed to Harry that so far he had not heard
of any people in Moona's family that was alive except Flitwick. Then that
reminded him to ask her about her mother. He didn't know how to do it. He didn't
like to have people ask him about his family.
They walked into the Great Hall to see all the students sitting at there
house tables, talking but they all silenced when Moona walked into the hall they
all silenced except the Slytherins. She walked up to the stage, and told them to
keep on talking until she found her head.
"Huh?" Ron said looking at her oddly.
She pointed a finger to her throat and her voice magnified over the
crowded hall.
"OK, before you take out your 'Half and Half' books, d any of you have any
idea what half and halves are?"
Hermione's hand shot up and Moona gave her this humoured look.
"OK, Hermione."
"A half and half is a creature that is not an animagus, but a thing that was
either born, or turned into another creature. But can think like a human. And
shares human-like qualities."
Moona looked at her and smiled "You are... wrong." she said still smiling.
"But it says!" Hermione said reaching for her book.
"Ah Ah Ah!" Moona said shaking a finger at Hermione. "I said without
looking at your books!"
"Anyone Else?" Moona asked looking around the Great Hall. A voice
sounded from the back of the hall.
"A half and half *person* is a *person* who can turn into an animal, or has
animal features. A centaur for example. Or a werewolf." Everyone in the hall
looked around and saw Remus Lupin standing at the doors of the hall, in a
muggle pair of dragonhide brown slacks, a white button-down shirt and a brown
cloak hanging off of his shoulders. His hair was a mess, but in an oddly swave
way, and he was accompanied by Sirius in dog form. He walked up to the stage,
Sirius at his heels.
"Hello class," He said as cool as if he was still teaching here "I'm going to
help Moona here with the class, being a werewolf, and knowing the grounds
pretty well. And so will my friend here... a now cleared from Askaban and the
ministry, Sirius Black."
Sirius changed back into his normal self. There was a gasp from the class
and then Moona started to talk again over the slight talking that had began.
"What are some half and halves you want to go over?"
Many people raised there hands and Moona called on them one by one,
and they magically wrote themselves on a blackboard behind her.
"Vampires."
"Centaurs."
"Veelas."
"Werewolves."
"Werecats."
"Involuntary Animagus'."
"Mermaids."
"Mer*people*." Moona corrected Harry.
"Sphinxes."
"Sirens."
"Gorgons."
"Yetis."
The list went on and on.
"OK, We will go over these all year we're out of time for today. See you
next week."
Harry Hermione and Ron ran up to Sirius and Lupin.
"You got your name cleared!" Harry said happily.
"Yup!" Sirius said happily "And now I can help Moona here. She's an old
friend... very old."
Moona kicked Sirius playfully and he kept explaining the trial and how
Dumbledore was so clever, and the Corneius Fudge completely cowered under is
power.
At supper Harry asked Moona about her parents. Moona said that her
mother was Lilly Evans best friend (A/N: I know I was putting Hudon... but this is
an old fic and that was before I knew that it was Evans bare with me people). And
that her mother was also Sirius's fiancee, until she had to get married to her
father because her mother made her. And that her mother was his Godmother.
Harry just sat there for a second trying to suck in everything that Moona
was telling him. She looked at her watch. She excused herself and headed out of
the common room once again.
Harry told Hermione and Ron once Moona left, and he told them that they
should go to Hagrid and ask him why he didn't tell him any of this Ron and
Hermione were not on going to go yell at Hagrid, but they came anyway.
They barely fit under the invisibility cloak anymore. They snuck out of the
castle at nine, only to see Moona's head popping up over the top of the lake. She
looked over to them, and then dived under.
That was odd, because they were wearing an invisibility cloak. But Harry
didn't give it a second thought, because it must be an Enchanter thing because
Dumbledore could do it. But then it hit Harry that Dumbledore must be an
Enchanter.
They reached Hagrid's hut, and knocked on the door, and took the cloak
off. Sirius and Lupin were there too. 'Good' Harry thought, because now he could
ask them too.
"Hi'ya Harry!" Hagrid said "Ron, Hermione, come in! Having a party were
are! Celebrating Sirius's name clearing!"
When they looked behind the door, they saw Dumbledore.
"I have to ask all of you a big question." Harry said seriously.
"What is it Harry?" Dumbledore said looking concerned.
"How come you guys never told me... (and harry ticked them off on his
fingers) That Moona's mother was my Godmother, that she was (and now he
pointed at Sirius who looked ill at the mere mention of Moona's mother) *your*
fiancee and that her mother was my mother's best friend? And why does she get
to go swimming in the lake at all hours in the night? And why when I saw her my
scar burned all hell? And also when her greatest fear was shown? I passed out
before I even got to see it!"
Dumbledore was looking oddly at the door. "I would gladly answer, your
questions Harry, but right now," and his voice softened "Harry, Hermoine, Ron get
in the invisibility clock and go into the forest. There is a Ford Anglia that you
should know of. Climb into it and stay as quiet as possible." he was now looking
out the window, a determined look in his face."
"But-"
"DON'T ASK QUESTIONS! Go!"
And they put the cloak on.
