CHAPTER TEN- Food Fight
For years Hogwarts would know it as 'The Battle Of The Twins'. But for the student now they thought it of horrible, horrible and horrible for they were the victims of the great battle.
The first thing that happened was the next morning. The entire Ravenclaw student population suddenly sprouted rose bushes on their heads and had to be sent to Professor Sprout for them to be fixed.
A point to the girls.
Right before lunch the entire dungeons floor iced over and the Slytherins could hardly go anywhere without slipping and crashing and so Potions was closed till they got it back to normal.
A point to the boys.
During lunch a ton of white mice were let loose. Almost every girl screamed and leapt onto the tables as well as a few boys.
Another point to the girls.
After lunch one of the Hogwarts toilets blew up.
Another point to the boys.
They had decided to use a score-keeper to decide who was the better set of twin troublemakers and they finally decided on Harry since he was fair and just. Poor Harry.
***
"I am so nervous." Jasmine said as they walked to their first class Monday morning.
"You'll be fine." Harry assured her.
"I'm sure I'll be fine with your help." Jasmine said as they stepped into Transfiguration class.
McGonagall let out a shriek then rested back against her desk. "Sorry I forgot. just for a moment it seemed." McGonagall stammered then shook her head.
"What is it, Professor?" Hermione asked.
"Oh when Mr. and Miss Potter walked in it seemed like seeing James and Lily walking into class all over again I. just kind of lost my head a moment." McGonagall muttered, shaking her head. "Sorry it really spooked me."
Harry and Jasmine cast glances at each other as they sat down. "I have a feeling we'll be spooking more teachers out." Harry muttered.
After Transfiguration they headed to their next class, Healing. When they went in Amah screamed and fell from where she was floating. She had been floating in the air, cross-legged, writing something on the blackboard.
"Professor!" Hermione said, running to her side.
"I'm all right Miss Granger. I just." Amah stared at Harry and Jasmine. "Who are you?" She asked Jasmine.
"Jasmine." Jasmine said.
"Oh the new. student sorry I thought I was. looking at James and Lily. it was just. never mind." Amah said, shaking her head slowly.
"You knew my parents?" Harry asked in confusion.
"Yes." Amah said.
Harry looked at her in confusion. She had smooth, straight black hair that shone brown in the light, not a speck of gray or white in it at all. It was always pulled back in a very short pony-tail. Her round, tanned face didn't have any wrinkles or lines on it at all. Her grayish blue eyes sparkled with life usually but were now faded slightly. She was tall and slender and quite pretty. Harry begun to wonder how old she was, though.
"How?" Harry asked.
Amah sighed and rubbed her temples. "We went to school together."
"You did?" Harry asked.
"Yes." Amah nodded and sighed. "And then you. it just. shocked me." She stood still a moment and turned to a few Slytherins who came in and greeted them.
*** (Draco's point of view)
I could not help but stare at her as I went into the classroom. After she had bumped into me at Hogsmeade I didn't think I'd ever see her again but there she was. Beautiful. I couldn't even scowl as she sat closely to Potter. Yet her last name was Potter. Jasmine Potter. Could this undeniably beautiful creature be related to that four-eyed dork?
Impossible.
"You okay? You seem out of it." Morlins said as I sat with her. I automatically did now since we'd just be together later in the class.
"I just got my head bandages removed." I snapped at her. "And don't bother me."
"How's your arm?" She continued.
"Fine it- what part of 'don't bother me' don't you understand?" I demanded.
"Oh, I understood it. I just ignored it." Morlins said with a smile.
I groaned and looked at Amah. In the corner of my eye I saw Pansy smiling at me. I pretended I didn't see her.
Potter and Jasmine sat near the front so I could look at her without anyone thinking I actually w-
Wait. I couldn't think she was beautiful. She was a Gryffindor!
A Malfoy and a Gryffindor?!
What was I thinking?!
It must be the head injury.
I shook my head and fixated on Amah who had begun talking about another healing charm. This one was about broken arms and how to apply a splint to it.
"Will we have to break our arms?!" Shrilled Patil, another stupid Gryffindor.
"No, Miss Patil just the spell that applies a splint. Now. the spell is 'ferula'. And Miss Potter since you make the group an uneven number and I don't feel like partnering new partners you can practice on me." Amah smiled and nodded for us to start.
"And I just got my arm out of a sling, too." Morlins giggled.
I scowled at her and raised my wand. "Ferula." I said. Nothing happened. "Ferula." I repeated and this time white light wrapped around Morlins' arm and when it disappeared there was a splint.
Morlins undid it and pointed her wand at my arm that wasn't in the sling. "Ferula!" There was white light and something tightened big time around my arm. I yelled in pain as it got tighter and tighter.
"Its supposed to help broken bones not make them!" I shrieked.
"Uh. Professor?" Morlins asked, looking up at Professor Amah who was getting attacked by bandages sent from Longbottom's wand.
"Finite Incantatum!" Jasmine shouted. The bandages on my arms fell to the floor. "Finite Incantatum!" She shouted and the bandages attacking Amah fell.
"Th-thank you Miss Potter, two points to Gryffindor." Amah said, shaking her head slowly. I looked at Jasmine and then said the two words that I have never, ever in my entire life uttered before.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." She said and turned back to Amah.
I had just said 'thank you'. And to a Gryffindor.
I think I had more head injury then Pomfrey thought.
*** (Harry's point of view)
"Its probably head injury." Ron said as we walked to lunch. Malfoy had just shocked the whole class by saying 'thank you'. And to a Gryffindor.
"I don't see what the big deal is." Jasmine said.
"Well that's because you don't know him." I muttered.
"I told you Draco's not that mean." Peggy insisted. Suddenly we heard screams from the dungeons. We ran over and saw the floors had been iced over. A bunch of Slytherins were slipping and crashing. The Third year Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs who had Potions class had all fallen as well.
I looked over to where Fred and George were grinning. "Harry!" One shouted and they came over.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"That was us. What do you think?" George asked, tugging at my sleeve. That morning they had asked me to keep score of the battle between them and the other new transfers, Frederika and Georgette Halls.
"Uh."
"Brilliant!" Frederika and Georgette ran over, laughing.
Fred and George looked thoroughly smug. "Thank you." Fred said, puffing up.
"C'mon Georgette we need to-"
"Think of a really good trick to-"
"Compete with this one." The twin girls said but with their tone of voice I could tell they already had one.
"Bye-"
"Boys." And with that they ran off. I saw Fred and George were staring at them.
"Oh boy this is going to be one loooooonnnggg week." Ron moaned.
We went into the Great Hall and began eating lunch. Halfway through there were screams from up and down the tables and most the girls leapt onto the tables. As well as a few boys. I looked to see what was wrong. About a thousand white mice were running around.
"Oh the poor things!" Peggy yelled and quickly began gathering them up. She put them in her pockets then took her hat off and dropped them into that.
There were more screams as five huge snakes appeared seemingly out of no where. They also seemed to be carrying a ton of bags. A few minutes later they left with their bags full of mice. I was in shock. What was going on?!?!
"The mice were us, Harry, but I dunno where the snakes came from." Frederika and Georgette said. By now teachers were making them disappear. I shook my head and started eating again and agreed with Ron, who was one of the boys on the tables. This was going to be a long week.
*** (Quantin's point of view)
"Thank you." Nagini said as we finished our meal. Our five largest snakes had gone to collect mice that somehow had gotten loose in the Great Hall. And for once we were all full.
I slithered over to a corner and started to curl up but Nagini came over. "Quantin." She said.
"Yes Nagini?" I asked.
"I need a favor."
"Okay." I said. This was why Nagini was our leader. She was smart, strong, kind and did not rule ruthlessly. The only time she got mad was when we called her master. I knew it was because of who her old 'master' was. She did not want to be like the owner of the voice. She never ordered us. She asked us. And that got better results.
"You are my most trusted advisor." She continued.
"I am?"
"Yes. You are." She said and indicated for me to follow her which I did. We were out of ear-shot of any snake. "I am worried about the boy."
"What boy?"
"The boy with the power."
"What power?"
"The power." Nagini hissed.
"Oh!!! The Parselmouth boy the voice is after?" I asked.
"Yes. You are the strongest snake here. I want you to keep an eye on him."
"Literally or metaphorically?" I asked.
Nagini glared at me. "Quantin." She warned.
"Sorry couldn't resist." I muttered.
"Next time please try. You are the only snake that can do it well. Sera will be going with you to translate human. I want you to protect her. She's a tiny one." Nagini said.
"Yes, Nagini."
"If anyone tries to get to the boy. attack." Nagini said, looking into my eyes.
"Yes Nagini I will." I said.
"My old master will stop at nothing."
"Yes Nagini." I nodded and went off to find Sera.
***
The class was in total shock. No one could move. No one even blinked.
Professor Binns had fainted.
"Um. Professor?" Hermione asked, leaning over the ghost. Nothing. Not even a twitch. Hermione looked at the others and shrugged.
Harry and Jasmine had walked into class. Binns had shrieked and fainted and was still not moving. No one knew a ghost could even faint.
"No class I guess." Donnie said with a shrug.
"Donnie." Hermione said and turned back down to Binns. "Professor?" She asked and reached down to shake him but pulled her hand back as she realized she couldn't. "What do we do?" She asked.
"Run amok!" Dean shouted.
"Yeah!" Donnie and Seamus agreed.
"Let's try this." Hermione pointed her wand at Binns. "Enervate!" But nothing happened.
"Hermione he wasn't stunned." Ron said.
"Can you revive an unconscious ghost?" Parvati asked.
"Can a ghost become unconscious?" Amy asked.
"Maybe he's dead." Neville said.
"Idiot, he was already dead." Seamus snapped.
"Well. maybe his ghost died." Neville said.
"He just fainted." Hermione said.
"Can ghosts faint?" Lavender asked.
"Well apparently he did, duh!" Rose snapped.
"Maybe we'll get a new History teacher." Parvati said.
"Oh man then we couldn't sleep through it." Seamus muttered.
"What if they got another ghost?" Ron asked.
"They didn't get the ghost. Binns died while he was alive and teaching this job." Harry pointed out.
"Oh yeah." Ron said.
"Well what do we do?" Peggy asked.
"Do? We do what I suggested. Run amok!" Dean said.
"Yeah!" Donnie and Seamus agreed.
"Professor?" Hermione asked again.
"Throw cold water on him." Seamus said.
"The water will go right through him." Neville said.
"Shut up Neville." Seamus snapped, blushing.
"Maybe water going through him will wake him up." Harry said.
"Cascadus!" Peggy said. A wave of water went through Binns and lay in a puddle on the floor.
"Looks like there was a large dog going to the bathroom here." Rose said, crinkling her nose up.
"Well what do we do?" Amy asked.
"We-" Dean began.
"Dean if you say we run amok I'll hit you." Ron said.
"Okay we run around the castle like crazy." Dean said.
"Yeah!" Donnie and Seamus agreed.
"But a teacher will get us and we'll get into so much trouble." Neville squeaked.
"We can blame it on the fact we have no teacher." Donnie said.
"Yeah. He fainted." Dean said.
"Can a ghost faint?" Neville asked.
"Didn't we already ask that?" Amy asked.
"I'll go get McGonagall." Hermione said and took off.
"What do we do in the meantime?" Ron asked.
"Run amok." Dean said.
"Yeah!" Donnie and Seamus agreed.
"Dean!" The others yelled.
"I meant run amok in the classroom." Dean said, grinning.
"Yeah!" Donnie and Seamus agreed.
"Shut up!" Lavender snapped and sat down. Slowly the others did, too, waiting for Hermione and McGonagall to come.
After a few minutes McGonagall ran in and looked shock. "What happened?" She asked.
"Jasmine and I walked in, he shrieked and. became like that." Harry said.
"Oh yes. ofcourse. He was teacher when your parents came to school." McGonagall said.
"What do we do, Professor?" Amy asked.
"Well I suppose there won't be any class." McGonagall said and nodded for them to go.
"Whoo-hoo!" Dean said.
"And no running amok." McGonagall called after them. Dean, Donnie and Seamus's faces fell.
"Aw." They all muttered.
***
"Get back here you idiot!"
I'm sorry I'm just used to running.
"You're used to running your mouth that's what."
Shut up or I'll bite you.
"Go ahead I've been bitten by worse. After all you did bite me once in human form."
Shut up.
"Aw poor doggie."
I'm warning you.
"I'm surprised you're actually being serious for once."
I'm always serious.
"You're Sirius, not serious." Remus Lupin said with a laugh, trying to keep up with Sirius Black, who was in dog form and running ahead of him.
And you're a dork. Sirius said in the thought-language of Anamagius. Age getting to you? Sirius asked as Remus stopped by a tree and began breathing hard.
"Sirius, tomorrow night is a full moon. I always feel tired at this point." Remus snapped.
Soooooooooorrrrrryyyyy. Sirius said. As Remus rested, Sirius chased his own tail.
"I don't need a guide anyway. I've been through this forest enough times." Remus said.
Not with those. Sirius said and nodded at two snakes passing.
"Snakes?" Remus asked in confusion.
Yep, there has been a lot of them. Sirius said and trotted beside Remus as they continued walking.
"I have a feeling I know why." Remus said as they reached Hogwarts. "Are you sure this is so important to drag me out the night before I go all werewolf?" Remus demanded.
Oh trust me. It is. Be right back. Wait here. Sirius said and took off.
"Sirius be careful." Remus whispered as the huge dog bounded across the lawns. A few minutes later Remus saw him leading two people. Remus squinted to try to see who. As they got closer he could see them. They looked pale in the moonlight but. it was. "James? Lily?" Remus asked as they reached them.
No you idiot. Harry and. remember? Your goddaughter?! Sirius demanded but only Remus heard him in his head.
Remus took a step back. "Jasmine?"
Yes. good werewolf. Sirius said and turned to human.
"Are you my godfather?" Jasmine asked.
Remus somehow managed a nod. "Yeah I uh. am." He said then recovered his senses. "HARRY!" He suddenly barked causing them all to jump. "You are not supposed to be out here without a teacher and in the middle of the night at that!" He shrieked.
"Oh come off it, Moony. May I remind you about other kids sneaking off in the middle of the night." Sirius said with a grin.
"And may I remind you, Padfoot that those kids were not the object of destruction by a powerfully dark wizard." Remus said.
"Age has gotten to you, Moony." Sirius snapped.
"To me?! I'm not the one bringing Harry outside in the middle of the night with Voldemort after him, Padfoot!" Remus said. Both had seemed to have forgotten the two kids.
"I thought you might like to meet Jasmine again!" Sirius snapped.
"I would of met her soon enough!" Remus said and shook his head. "idiot."
With this Sirius turned into a dog and bit Remus. Take that wolf-head!
"That is your answer for everything." Remus said, not even wincing. After all he had been through much, much worse. "Turn into a dog and bite the person. Padfoot you nitwit stop that." Remus griped.
Sirius let go and turned back to a human, scowling. "Dork."
"Dweeb."
"Wolf-head."
"Dog-breath."
"Old man!"
"Tree-waterer."
"Ooh you're gonna get it!" Sirius tackled Remus and they crashed to the ground and began wrestling.
"Hello?" Harry asked. They looked up. Remus had Sirius in a headlock, and Sirius was gripping Remus's hair
"Oh yeah." They both said and separated.
'You better get back to the castle. Before Moony here kills me." Sirius said.
"I'll see you soon enough." Remus assured the sad Jasmine.
"What?" Harry asked.
"Just go." Remus said and glared at Sirius.
"Okay, okay!" Sirius muttered and turned into a dog and led the kids back to the castle. When he returned the two bickered all the way back to Hogsmeade.
***
Ka-BOOM! BABOOM! BOOOOOOOOMMMMM! Everyone leapt as puddings across the Great Hall exploded, showering everybody with it.
"That's us! Write it down, us, us, us!" Fred and George said, tugging at Harry's sleeves. They sat on either side of him Tuesday at dinner.
Harry just shook his head and turned to the teachers table. Toad had screamed and fainted on the table. McGonagall looked mad and Dumbledore was laughing, looking down at the pudding in his beard. He got an odd look on his face and slowly stood up.
"Fred! George!" He shouted. Fred and George guiltily looked up.
"Yes?" They asked. They then were hit by two whipped cream pies conjured by Dumbledore's wand.
"FOOD FIGHT!" Dumbledore screamed and dumped his mashed potatoes on top of McGonagall who was shocked. Suddenly the hall was alive with flying food.
Hermione ducked under the table, trying to avoid it all, and shocked that Dumbledore would start a food fight!
Dumbledore ran down and shoved a pie in Harry's face. "WHOO-HOO!" He yelled and leapt onto the Gryffindor table. He threw some food then ran up to the teacher's table and dumped the entire punch bowl over Snape's head.
Almost everyone started laughing. "Go Dumbledore! Go Dumbledore!" Fred and George shouted and then screamed as ice water was dumped down the front of their pants via Frederika and Georgette. The girls laughed and ran off to pelt cake at the Ravenclaws.
"Frederika!" George yelled since she had done it to him.
"Georgette!" Fred yelled since she had done it to him. They grabbed pitchers of pumpkin juice and ran after the twin girls. They caught them and dumped the pitchers of pumpkin juice down the fronts of their shirts.
"Oh you two -" Frederika began.
"Are so gonna get it." Georgette said and they tackled the twins to the ground, into the food on the floor. Harry ran over to the Slytherin table and did what he had always wanted to do since his train ride up his First year.
He dumped an entire huge bowl of chocolate pudding over Malfoy's head.
"POTTER!" Malfoy roared.
Jasmine suddenly appeared behind Harry and dropped an entire cake on his head. Malfoy burst into laughter and fell over, still covered with the pudding.
Harry whirled around and grabbed Jasmine around the waist. "Harry!" She shrieked as he dumped pumpkin juice down her back. While Harry was busy with that, Malfoy scooped up a handful of peanut butter and rubbed it into Harry's hair. "NUT HEAD!" Jasmine shrieked as she laughed.
"Good one!" Malfoy told her.
Jasmine shrieked again and ran off as Harry got a bowl of gravy. "I didn't mean it!" She yelled and slipped in some food. She slid to the teachers table and crashed into Flitwick who was trying to get away. Harry, not noticing, dumped the gravy only to cover Flitwick and not his sister. "Oh my gosh Professor Flitwick I d-didn't mean to!" Harry said. Flitwick slowly got up, shaking his gravy-covered hair.
"Oh that's okay Mr. Potter." He said then poured some soup over him.
"Hey!" Harry laughed. Someone tackled him from the side and they slid along the very slippery floor and into the wall.
"Take this midget!" Shouted Ron's voice and dumped gravy down the front of Harry's pants.
Harry yelled and fumbled for something. His hand grabbed something and he shoved it in Ron's face. It was pizza. Ron yelped and leapt back into Peggy who dumped rice down the front of his pants!
"Take that, freckles!" Peggy giggled and turned to run off but slipped and crashed on the ground.
Harry managed to get up and had a platter of roast beef dumped over him. He turned to see Cho Chang standing there, grinning. Harry slipped in the food and crashed into her. The two went sliding and crashed into many others before stopping.
Hermione was underneath the Gryffindor table, eyes wide. "Oh my gosh." She muttered as Seamus flew out of no where and landed in front of her, covered with red Jell-O.
"Hiya Hermione!" He said cheerfully and threw himself at Dean.
Ron grabbed a bowl of applesauce and appeared under the table, grinning.
"Don't you-" Hermione never finished. Ron dumped the bowl over her head then ran off to throw more food at Peggy. Hermione fumed and ran out. She grabbed a teapot of hot tea and found Ron. She dumped it down the front of his pants. He screamed in pain and flung himself backwards, crashing into many people including Professor Snape who dumped blue Jell-O over his head. Suddenly someone dumped gravy over Snape's head. Snape whirled to see who and found it was Professor McGonagall. She giggled and ran off, sliding into the food and crashing into Hagrid. They fell to the ground, into the food, both laughing. Dumbledore appeared over them and dumped a pitcher of Cool-aid over them then ran off laughing only to crash into Madame Pomfrey who had heard the noise and come to see what was going on.
They fell to the ground, Dumbledore laughing so hard it hurt.
The food fight continued this way for an hour an a half till there was no food but mushy stuff since all the food was mixed with the liquids.
Exhilarated, pumped, hyper and happy everyone trouped off to get cleaned.
For years Hogwarts would know it as 'The Battle Of The Twins'. But for the student now they thought it of horrible, horrible and horrible for they were the victims of the great battle.
The first thing that happened was the next morning. The entire Ravenclaw student population suddenly sprouted rose bushes on their heads and had to be sent to Professor Sprout for them to be fixed.

They had decided to use a score-keeper to decide who was the better set of twin troublemakers and they finally decided on Harry since he was fair and just. Poor Harry.

"I am so nervous." Jasmine said as they walked to their first class Monday morning.
"You'll be fine." Harry assured her.

"You knew my parents?" Harry asked in confusion.
"Yes." Amah said.
Harry looked at her in confusion. She had smooth, straight black hair that shone brown in the light, not a speck of gray or white in it at all. It was always pulled back in a very short pony-tail. Her round, tanned face didn't have any wrinkles or lines on it at all. Her grayish blue eyes sparkled with life usually but were now faded slightly. She was tall and slender and quite pretty. Harry begun to wonder how old she was, though.
"How?" Harry asked.
Amah sighed and rubbed her temples. "We went to school together."
"You did?" Harry asked.
"Yes." Amah nodded and sighed. "And then you. it just. shocked me." She stood still a moment and turned to a few Slytherins who came in and greeted them.

"The boy with the power."
"What power?"
"The power." Nagini hissed.
"Oh!!! The Parselmouth boy the voice is after?" I asked.
"Yes. You are the strongest snake here. I want you to keep an eye on him."
"Literally or metaphorically?" I asked.
Nagini glared at me. "Quantin." She warned.
"Sorry couldn't resist." I muttered.
"Next time please try. You are the only snake that can do it well. Sera will be going with you to translate human. I want you to protect her. She's a tiny one." Nagini said.
"Yes, Nagini."
"If anyone tries to get to the boy. attack." Nagini said, looking into my eyes.
"Yes Nagini I will." I said.
"My old master will stop at nothing."
"Yes Nagini." I nodded and went off to find Sera.

The class was in total shock. No one could move. No one even blinked.
Professor Binns had fainted.
"Um. Professor?" Hermione asked, leaning over the ghost. Nothing. Not even a twitch. Hermione looked at the others and shrugged.
Harry and Jasmine had walked into class. Binns had shrieked and fainted and was still not moving. No one knew a ghost could even faint.
"No class I guess." Donnie said with a shrug.
"Donnie." Hermione said and turned back down to Binns. "Professor?" She asked and reached down to shake him but pulled her hand back as she realized she couldn't. "What do we do?" She asked.
"Run amok!" Dean shouted.
"Yeah!" Donnie and Seamus agreed.
"Let's try this." Hermione pointed her wand at Binns. "Enervate!" But nothing happened.
"Hermione he wasn't stunned." Ron said.
"Can you revive an unconscious ghost?" Parvati asked.
"Can a ghost become unconscious?" Amy asked.
"Maybe he's dead." Neville said.
"Idiot, he was already dead." Seamus snapped.
"Well. maybe his ghost died." Neville said.
"He just fainted." Hermione said.
"Can ghosts faint?" Lavender asked.
"Well apparently he did, duh!" Rose snapped.
"Maybe we'll get a new History teacher." Parvati said.
"Oh man then we couldn't sleep through it." Seamus muttered.
"What if they got another ghost?" Ron asked.
"They didn't get the ghost. Binns died while he was alive and teaching this job." Harry pointed out.
"Oh yeah." Ron said.
"Well what do we do?" Peggy asked.
"Do? We do what I suggested. Run amok!" Dean said.
"Yeah!" Donnie and Seamus agreed.
"Professor?" Hermione asked again.
"Throw cold water on him." Seamus said.
"The water will go right through him." Neville said.
"Shut up Neville." Seamus snapped, blushing.
"Maybe water going through him will wake him up." Harry said.
"Cascadus!" Peggy said. A wave of water went through Binns and lay in a puddle on the floor.
"Looks like there was a large dog going to the bathroom here." Rose said, crinkling her nose up.
"Well what do we do?" Amy asked.
"We-" Dean began.
"Dean if you say we run amok I'll hit you." Ron said.
"Okay we run around the castle like crazy." Dean said.
"Yeah!" Donnie and Seamus agreed.
"But a teacher will get us and we'll get into so much trouble." Neville squeaked.
"We can blame it on the fact we have no teacher." Donnie said.
"Yeah. He fainted." Dean said.
"Can a ghost faint?" Neville asked.
"Didn't we already ask that?" Amy asked.
"I'll go get McGonagall." Hermione said and took off.
"What do we do in the meantime?" Ron asked.
"Run amok." Dean said.
"Yeah!" Donnie and Seamus agreed.
"Dean!" The others yelled.
"I meant run amok in the classroom." Dean said, grinning.
"Yeah!" Donnie and Seamus agreed.
"Shut up!" Lavender snapped and sat down. Slowly the others did, too, waiting for Hermione and McGonagall to come.
After a few minutes McGonagall ran in and looked shock. "What happened?" She asked.
"Jasmine and I walked in, he shrieked and. became like that." Harry said.
"Oh yes. ofcourse. He was teacher when your parents came to school." McGonagall said.
"What do we do, Professor?" Amy asked.
"Well I suppose there won't be any class." McGonagall said and nodded for them to go.
"Whoo-hoo!" Dean said.
"And no running amok." McGonagall called after them. Dean, Donnie and Seamus's faces fell.
"Aw." They all muttered.

"Get back here you idiot!"
I'm sorry I'm just used to running.
"You're used to running your mouth that's what."
Shut up or I'll bite you.
"Go ahead I've been bitten by worse. After all you did bite me once in human form."
Shut up.
"Aw poor doggie."
I'm warning you.
"I'm surprised you're actually being serious for once."
I'm always serious.
"You're Sirius, not serious." Remus Lupin said with a laugh, trying to keep up with Sirius Black, who was in dog form and running ahead of him.
And you're a dork. Sirius said in the thought-language of Anamagius. Age getting to you? Sirius asked as Remus stopped by a tree and began breathing hard.
"Sirius, tomorrow night is a full moon. I always feel tired at this point." Remus snapped.
Soooooooooorrrrrryyyyy. Sirius said. As Remus rested, Sirius chased his own tail.
"I don't need a guide anyway. I've been through this forest enough times." Remus said.
Not with those. Sirius said and nodded at two snakes passing.
"Snakes?" Remus asked in confusion.
Yep, there has been a lot of them. Sirius said and trotted beside Remus as they continued walking.
"I have a feeling I know why." Remus said as they reached Hogwarts. "Are you sure this is so important to drag me out the night before I go all werewolf?" Remus demanded.
Oh trust me. It is. Be right back. Wait here. Sirius said and took off.
"Sirius be careful." Remus whispered as the huge dog bounded across the lawns. A few minutes later Remus saw him leading two people. Remus squinted to try to see who. As they got closer he could see them. They looked pale in the moonlight but. it was. "James? Lily?" Remus asked as they reached them.
No you idiot. Harry and. remember? Your goddaughter?! Sirius demanded but only Remus heard him in his head.
Remus took a step back. "Jasmine?"
Yes. good werewolf. Sirius said and turned to human.
"Are you my godfather?" Jasmine asked.
Remus somehow managed a nod. "Yeah I uh. am." He said then recovered his senses. "HARRY!" He suddenly barked causing them all to jump. "You are not supposed to be out here without a teacher and in the middle of the night at that!" He shrieked.
"Oh come off it, Moony. May I remind you about other kids sneaking off in the middle of the night." Sirius said with a grin.
"And may I remind you, Padfoot that those kids were not the object of destruction by a powerfully dark wizard." Remus said.
"Age has gotten to you, Moony." Sirius snapped.
"To me?! I'm not the one bringing Harry outside in the middle of the night with Voldemort after him, Padfoot!" Remus said. Both had seemed to have forgotten the two kids.
"I thought you might like to meet Jasmine again!" Sirius snapped.
"I would of met her soon enough!" Remus said and shook his head. "idiot."
With this Sirius turned into a dog and bit Remus. Take that wolf-head!
"That is your answer for everything." Remus said, not even wincing. After all he had been through much, much worse. "Turn into a dog and bite the person. Padfoot you nitwit stop that." Remus griped.
Sirius let go and turned back to a human, scowling. "Dork."
"Dweeb."
"Wolf-head."
"Dog-breath."
"Old man!"
"Tree-waterer."
"Ooh you're gonna get it!" Sirius tackled Remus and they crashed to the ground and began wrestling.
"Hello?" Harry asked. They looked up. Remus had Sirius in a headlock, and Sirius was gripping Remus's hair
"Oh yeah." They both said and separated.
'You better get back to the castle. Before Moony here kills me." Sirius said.
"I'll see you soon enough." Remus assured the sad Jasmine.
"What?" Harry asked.
"Just go." Remus said and glared at Sirius.
"Okay, okay!" Sirius muttered and turned into a dog and led the kids back to the castle. When he returned the two bickered all the way back to Hogsmeade.

Ka-BOOM! BABOOM! BOOOOOOOOMMMMM! Everyone leapt as puddings across the Great Hall exploded, showering everybody with it.
"That's us! Write it down, us, us, us!" Fred and George said, tugging at Harry's sleeves. They sat on either side of him Tuesday at dinner.
Harry just shook his head and turned to the teachers table. Toad had screamed and fainted on the table. McGonagall looked mad and Dumbledore was laughing, looking down at the pudding in his beard. He got an odd look on his face and slowly stood up.
"Fred! George!" He shouted. Fred and George guiltily looked up.
"Yes?" They asked. They then were hit by two whipped cream pies conjured by Dumbledore's wand.
"FOOD FIGHT!" Dumbledore screamed and dumped his mashed potatoes on top of McGonagall who was shocked. Suddenly the hall was alive with flying food.
Hermione ducked under the table, trying to avoid it all, and shocked that Dumbledore would start a food fight!
Dumbledore ran down and shoved a pie in Harry's face. "WHOO-HOO!" He yelled and leapt onto the Gryffindor table. He threw some food then ran up to the teacher's table and dumped the entire punch bowl over Snape's head.
Almost everyone started laughing. "Go Dumbledore! Go Dumbledore!" Fred and George shouted and then screamed as ice water was dumped down the front of their pants via Frederika and Georgette. The girls laughed and ran off to pelt cake at the Ravenclaws.
"Frederika!" George yelled since she had done it to him.
"Georgette!" Fred yelled since she had done it to him. They grabbed pitchers of pumpkin juice and ran after the twin girls. They caught them and dumped the pitchers of pumpkin juice down the fronts of their shirts.
"Oh you two -" Frederika began.
"Are so gonna get it." Georgette said and they tackled the twins to the ground, into the food on the floor. Harry ran over to the Slytherin table and did what he had always wanted to do since his train ride up his First year.
He dumped an entire huge bowl of chocolate pudding over Malfoy's head.
"POTTER!" Malfoy roared.
Jasmine suddenly appeared behind Harry and dropped an entire cake on his head. Malfoy burst into laughter and fell over, still covered with the pudding.
Harry whirled around and grabbed Jasmine around the waist. "Harry!" She shrieked as he dumped pumpkin juice down her back. While Harry was busy with that, Malfoy scooped up a handful of peanut butter and rubbed it into Harry's hair. "NUT HEAD!" Jasmine shrieked as she laughed.
"Good one!" Malfoy told her.
Jasmine shrieked again and ran off as Harry got a bowl of gravy. "I didn't mean it!" She yelled and slipped in some food. She slid to the teachers table and crashed into Flitwick who was trying to get away. Harry, not noticing, dumped the gravy only to cover Flitwick and not his sister. "Oh my gosh Professor Flitwick I d-didn't mean to!" Harry said. Flitwick slowly got up, shaking his gravy-covered hair.
"Oh that's okay Mr. Potter." He said then poured some soup over him.
"Hey!" Harry laughed. Someone tackled him from the side and they slid along the very slippery floor and into the wall.
"Take this midget!" Shouted Ron's voice and dumped gravy down the front of Harry's pants.
Harry yelled and fumbled for something. His hand grabbed something and he shoved it in Ron's face. It was pizza. Ron yelped and leapt back into Peggy who dumped rice down the front of his pants!
"Take that, freckles!" Peggy giggled and turned to run off but slipped and crashed on the ground.
Harry managed to get up and had a platter of roast beef dumped over him. He turned to see Cho Chang standing there, grinning. Harry slipped in the food and crashed into her. The two went sliding and crashed into many others before stopping.
Hermione was underneath the Gryffindor table, eyes wide. "Oh my gosh." She muttered as Seamus flew out of no where and landed in front of her, covered with red Jell-O.
"Hiya Hermione!" He said cheerfully and threw himself at Dean.
Ron grabbed a bowl of applesauce and appeared under the table, grinning.
"Don't you-" Hermione never finished. Ron dumped the bowl over her head then ran off to throw more food at Peggy. Hermione fumed and ran out. She grabbed a teapot of hot tea and found Ron. She dumped it down the front of his pants. He screamed in pain and flung himself backwards, crashing into many people including Professor Snape who dumped blue Jell-O over his head. Suddenly someone dumped gravy over Snape's head. Snape whirled to see who and found it was Professor McGonagall. She giggled and ran off, sliding into the food and crashing into Hagrid. They fell to the ground, into the food, both laughing. Dumbledore appeared over them and dumped a pitcher of Cool-aid over them then ran off laughing only to crash into Madame Pomfrey who had heard the noise and come to see what was going on.
They fell to the ground, Dumbledore laughing so hard it hurt.
The food fight continued this way for an hour an a half till there was no food but mushy stuff since all the food was mixed with the liquids.
Exhilarated, pumped, hyper and happy everyone trouped off to get cleaned.
