Muggle magic
"50 points from Gryffindor!" shouted Pr.snape.
"What?" shouted the women in unison.
"Oh.nothing" replied Snape. Vector then started laughing at the scene. There was a brown haired, hazel green-eyed lady on top of Snape, and a small, black haired, chocolate-eyed lady, who had a broken leg, on top of Vector. There was a scream and everyone shifted round to see Pr.Trelawney being hit by a trolley and then went flying, landing hard on the floor.
McGonnagal appeared and walked over to Pr.Trelawney and looked down at her
"I guess you knew that would happen, didn't you."
"Er.yes, the fates informed me" said Trelawney standing up.
"Come on the train will be going in a sec" said McGonnagal to the others.
So McGonnagal, Snape, Trelawney, and Vector got onto the train while the two ladies sat on the ground.
"Come on", said Pr.McGonnagal to the two ladies. So, the two ladies, with bewilded looks, got up and onto the train, with help from Pr.Vector.
So, what's your names?" asked McGonnagal as they sat down.
"Er.. my name is Michelle Molloy", said the brown haired lady sitting next to Snape.
" And I am Madeleine Clarke", said the short lady, sitting next to Vector.
"So which of you is my assistant in potions?" asked Snape to the ladies.
" I am" exclaimed Michelle
"Oh, so you're the DADA professor, right?" McGonnagal asked turning to Madeleine.
"Er.yeah, sure", answered Madeleine, as Vector put a cast on her broken leg.
An hour and a half went past and the more they talked, the more they learnt of the two ladies.
"Will you excuse us" asked Madeleine, grabbed Michelle's arm, and pulled her into an empty compartment, hobbling on a crutch.
"What the hell is going on?" exclaimed Madeleine when they were safely away from the other professors.
"I have no idea", shouted Michelle, sitting down.
'OK. What are 'muggles' and DADA?" asked Madeleine slumping onto a seat.
"Er.. I think DADA is what it's called and 'muggles'. When they speak of muggles it sounds like they are.. people like us. We have no magic and muggles don't either", said Michelle.
"Oh. So, we are muggles and they are." trailed off Madeleine.
The two ladies sat in silence and thought about what the other people were, where they were going, and what were they going to teach at the end school.
"Hang on.potion assistant means helping to teach students' potions and.that means witches and wizards", sad Madeleine.
"WHAT!" screamed Michelle.
"Shut up Michelle. Lets just do what we can and hope for a miracle," shouted Madeleine.
"Ok, ok, lets go back," agreed Michelle.
So, Madeleine, after some difficulty, jumped up and Michelle helped her into the other compartment with the professors.
"Dumbledore will want to meet you of course and you'll probably have to take a test to get the jobs," said McGonnagal as she helped Madeleine sit down.
"So, why are you coming out of the muggle world like the students?" Asked Snape.
"Or the unlucky ones do," muttered Snape under his breath.
"Er.. we.. lived with the muggles," said Madeleine.
"Yeah! We've lived in the muggle world for years and have been traveling to some places but we decided to come back," agreed Michelle.
"Oh, well, I'm going to read," said McGonnagal.
So for the rest of the trip, McGonnagall read her book on 'How to teach students on transfiguration' while Vector fell asleep and Michelle talked with Snape about Hogwarts and potions. Madeleine on the other hand was writing in a small black book about everything, which was going on to her and Michelle.
"Serveus, wake him up, we're near Hogwarts," said McGonnagal.
Snape looked at McGonnagal's stern face and sighed. He got up and shook Vector who woke up after a while.
As Vector woke up, and Snape sat down, the train stopped. Snape fell on top of Michelle, making them both turn red. They didn't have a lot of time to be embarrassed because there were several horse-less carriages, which McGonagal shooed them into them. Madeleine looked around. The floor was covered in hay and straw that had seen better days. She found it quite hard to sit comfortably in the wooden chairs. Michelle had her head leaning on the wall of the carriage, staring into space humming the tune to the Thong song. She then started dancing to the tune, sitting down. Snape stared at her, trying not to laugh. Madeleine elbowed her.
"What!" yelped Michelle.
"You're humming the tune to the thong song!"
Snape quickly looked away in horror trying not to laugh, while McGonnagal looked at them confused.
"Em.it won't take long too long to get there. Dumbledore will be waiting at the door" said McGonnagal.
"Ok" the women replied.
"So what school." began Snape.
For the whole of the trip in the carriages, they talked about many things like their life's, where they had worked and many more things.
The carriages stopped and when Michelle and Madeleine looked at the mythological castle they gasped. It looked like it had come from a fairy tale. It's many turrets and the huge lake reflecting the moon above it. The huge forest looked so peaceful until a large flock of birds flew out swarking.
"Dumbledore, the new assistant and teacher are here" exclaimed McGonnagal. Dumbledore led the two women to his office. "Lemon drops" The gargoyle sprang to the side. Dumbledore went inside followed by Michelle and Madeleine.
Michelle sat down in a chair, Madeleine on a sofa, and Dumbledore sat behind his desk.
"Now do you have any references with you?" Dumbledore asked.
"References? No, there was a. .er.fire! At our old work place and..they got burnt, but we would like these jobs" answered Michelle
"Hmm.ok. Read and study these books for your lessons. That is all" said Dumbledore, handing them books.
Madeleine took one for herself 'DADA for years 1-7', and Michelle took one called 'potions help'
They muttered 'thank you' and headed for the door.
"Professor Clarke, one more thing. There is an assistant arriving shortly to help you teach and to learn about DADA"
Madeleine answered this statement with a nod of her head and left with Michelle.
"50 points from Gryffindor!" shouted Pr.snape.
"What?" shouted the women in unison.
"Oh.nothing" replied Snape. Vector then started laughing at the scene. There was a brown haired, hazel green-eyed lady on top of Snape, and a small, black haired, chocolate-eyed lady, who had a broken leg, on top of Vector.
