A/N: This should be interesting.... McGonagall making eyes at Snape! HAHAHAHAHA! I'm soooo strange.... ^.^;
I drew and colored a cute picture of Harriet riding a white and blue dragon. It's too adorable! :3
Okay... let's see how well this turns out. The first version of this was stupid and hurried. A small problem with me.
Chapter Eight
The next morning, Harry awoke with a yawn. He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and glanced around. He was having such a strange dream with some of the teachers becoming teenagers again.
He suddenly realized that he didn't have his glasses on. He reached to his nightstand and put on his glasses. Suddenly, something moved next to his bed. He sighed. "It wasn't a dream after all...."
A young Sirius Black and Remus Lupin were sleeping in cushy purple sleeping bags next to Harry's bed. Harry looked to Ron's bed. In front were two more sleeping bags with a young Albus Dumbledore sleeping next to a young Severus Snape.
Harry got out of bed and stretched. He wondered, briefly, why this had to happen now. He started getting dressed in his school uniform and robes when Albus woke up and yawned in his sleeping bag. He smiled pleasantly at Harry.
"Hello, Albus... how are you this morning?" Harry said with a smile.
"I'm doing fine.." Albus stood up and stretched. "So...! What is going to happen today? I suppose that we'll have to stay here to keep out of everyone's way, eh?"
Harry had not thought about it. It made sense though to do what Albus just said. "Yeah... I'll have to arrange it so that someone can watch you guys while everyone else is in class."
There was something odd about the Albus smiled at Harry. Harry shook it off and put on the Head Boy badge. "I have to the great hall.... I'll ask the house elves to bring you and the girls some breakfast...."
"Have a nice day, Harry...." Albus said with a smile. It disconcerted Harry some.
Harry went down to the Common room and found Hermione yawning as she waited beside the portrait hole. "I've been waiting for you, Harry.... We need to arrange a few things... like Divination.... We're missing five teachers, not four..."
They walked out of the portrait hole and into the hallway. "We'll just have to close it down for a little while..." The look on Hermione's face made him finish his sentence. "...er... Until we can find someone..."
She nodded and they walked down to the large painting of the fruit bowl. Harry tickled the pear and the painting swung open. "I have to arrange the elves to bring them breakfast, lunch and Dinner..." Hermione scowled at him, but didn't say anything. She despised making the house elves work without pay.
Harry walked through the hole and walked into the kitchen. The house elves were busy making breakfast, running around in different directions as they worked. They were short and had bulbous eyes.
Dobby walked over and greeted Harry. "Dobby is happy to see Harry Potter once again! What does Harry Potter want?"
He was wearing a tea cozy on his head and Uncle Vernon's ugly, yellow socks. Harry smiled down at Dobby. "Hello, Dobby... I'm sorry to trouble you, but some of the teachers have been..." Harry searched for something better to say than 'they have been turned into teenagers'. "They have been put out for a little while, so they are rooming with us in Gryffindor tower. Professors Black, Lupin, Snape and Dumbledore are in my dorm and Trelawny and McGonagall are in the seventh year girl's dorm. I need for you and a couple of the elves to bring them food for breakfast, Lunch and Dinner until I ask you not to."
Dobby smiled. "If Professors Dumbledore and McGonagall are stuck in Harry Potter's house, who is in charge of Dobby and the others?"
Harry thought for a bit. "I guess I and Hermione are.... we have already hired a few replacement teachers for the time being."
"Then, Dobby will do his best for Harry Potter!" Dobby squeaked and jumped over to the other elves. He heard them talking and suddenly, everyone went into overdrive. There were elves going everywhere, almost at once.
Harry left the kitchens and went to the Transfiguration classroom. He found Professor Wizworth, Fred, George and Professor Lockheart standing around with Hermione.
"Ah! There you are, Harry! Mr. Head Boy!" Fred said with a wide grin.
"Why is it I feel like I'm sending this place directly to hell hiring on you two..." Harry said with a wry smile.
"Come on... It's not like we are out for revenge on the teachers!" George said with an equally wide and devious grin.
"I think we should start assigning placements now, Harry..." said Hermione.
"Alright..." Harry picked up the clipboard that Hermione had left for him. He glanced at it and thought. "Professor Wizworth.... you'll be in Transfiguration...."
"And I get the one with the worst students...." He said with a grimace.
"Fred.... you'll teach Potions... George.... Defense Against the Dark Arts...." Harry read off Hermione's precise handwriting. "Professor Lockheart.... you'll be the Care of Magical creatures teacher... and yes, you'll have a book to go by..."
"Thank you, Mr. uh..."
"Just call me Harry, okay?" Harry said with a sigh.
"Alright... Harry..." Professor Lockheart took the book Hermione was offering him and started looking through it.
Back in Gryffindor Tower, Astra woke up and started thinking about how the arrangements were going to be like. She needed someone to watch the teenage teachers while she went to her classes, but she didn't know who.
She stepped over the sleeping form of Sybil Trelawny and went to the door. She had already gotten dressed in her school robes and was going up to the boys dorm to talk to Kennedy.
She opened the door and looked in. Everyone was still asleep. She walked through the room and tripped on a sleeping body and landed on someone. "Ow!" she growled.
"You ought to be careful, you know that?" said a smug voice. Astra knew it all too well.
"Sorry, Sirius.... didn't mean to LAND on you..." Astra said as she struggled to get off of Sirius' lap. He was sitting up now and smiling with a roguish grin.
"There's nothing to be sorry about... I rather enjoy getting girls on my lap..." he said with a wink. Astra blushed and growled.
She stood up and straightened her uniform skirt and robes. She walked over to Kennedy's bed, but tripped over someone else and landed right on top of another person. This time she was face down. "Owie..." she whimpered as she rubbed her nose.
"This is a nice thing to see in the morning.... although I would prefer it to be on my own terms....." she heard Albus' voice.
She lifted herself up and saw that she wasn't only sprawled across Albus, but on Severus Snape as well. Severus yawned and sat up. He glanced down at Astra's legs and traced them up to their origin. He grimaced at Astra. "Such a nice thing to see... A mudblood halvsie trying to get with the better boys... so typical..."
Astra growled and punched him in the jaw. He flew from his sleeping bag to the opposite wall. She was standing where Severus had been and huffed angrily. "Don't... call... me... a... mudblood... halvsie!" she growled.
"Me thinks that the lady should not be addressed in such a manner..." said Albus mildly with a smile.
Astra rounded on Albus and growled. "What was that!" Albus gulped and went ashen faced.
"Astra! What are you doing here?" asked Kennedy from the bed next to Ron's. Kennedy had put on his glasses and was giving Astra a clueless look. His red hair and ice blue eyes glimmered slightly.
"I came to ask if someone here could watch these guys..I was wondering if you could..." Astra said.
Kennedy shook his head. "I'm sorry, but I have to go to class as well..."
"Maybe I can watch them... It wouldn't be too difficult and I thankfully don't have to deal with them having wands..." Albus said with a smile.
Astra thought about it a little bit. She heard Sirius chide Severus on making her angry. She heard Kennedy talking to Albus in a cheerful manner. It sounded like it could work out, she needed someone to check up on them.
"How about this... you watch these idiots and I make a pact with the others to come check up on you guys... how about that?" Astra said with a cheerful smile.
Albus smiled and nodded. Astra walked out of the boys dorm room and walked down to the great hall. Breakfast went on it's own way as usual.
The day was as it went normally. That day, Astra went to Defense against the dark arts. George Weasley was teaching. Astra took note of Nevaeh staring off into space while George talked about banshees, much to Seamus' displeasure.
It was then that Astra noticed someone moving outside of the classroom door. She listened intently through the wall. She couldn't get past the noise in the room. She took out her wand and tapped her glasses. It was a trick that Nevaeh had found back in Firestrom. It was lovingly dubbed the "X-ray vision" charm.
She concentrated on seeing through the wall. She concentrated on seeing what lie behind it. She saw them. She gasped and stood up hurriedly.
"Miss Knight....." said an amused George Weasley at his desk. "Miss Knight... you're interrupting me...."
Astra didn't care. If anyone saw them, they would start asking questions and that was the last thing Astra wanted to burden Harry with. She walked over to the door and tapped her glasses twice with her wand. There was recognition in Nevaeh's face as Astra bowed to George. "I'm sorry... I need to go...."
Then, she ran out the door and down the hall. "You fricken idiots! I'm gonna kill ya'll!" she growled as she ran. She heard them. She knew they had heard her come out of the classroom. She knew they would be trying to get away from her now.
She ran to the main stair well and saw them. "I thought I told ya'll ta stay put!" she growled.
There was Sirius with a look of anger crossing his face. Remus shook his head at Sirius. Trelawny and Minerva were there as well. "Well... what did you expect? You tell us that we have to stay in Gryffindor tower until someone comes to check on us and you expect us to stay there?"
Harry was finishing his shift. He decided to end it early and walked back to Gryffindor Tower. He walked into the common room and saw something very strange indeed.
There was Severus and Albus tied up in separate chairs. They were gagged as well. Harry wondered how long they had been like this. Severus was growling and he mumbled furiously against the gag.
"Oh stuff it, Snape!" Harry growled. He walked over to Albus. Albus was sitting quietly, but there was definite irritation on his clam face. Harry thought he saw a vein throbbing on his white forehead as his blue eyes glared silently, coldly into space.
Harry untied Albus first. He took off the gag and knelt down to untie his hands. "What happened, Albus?"
"Something that won't happen again, I assure you...." Albus said in a coldly calm voice. "They jumped us and took off."
Harry was untiing Severus' bonds. "Who did..."
"Sirius and Minerva. Trelawny wanted a piece of the action and Remus came along to see if he could keep them out of trouble....."
Harry thought he saw something like remembrance in Albus' eyes. Severus growled as he stood up. "I'm going to kill that Black!"
"Black was the one that tied up Severus, here..." Albus said with that same voice. It was slightly chilling to hear. "Amongst other things....."
Harry sat back, bewildered at what had happened. He had never imagined Professor McGonagall doing anything against the rules, or Trelawny for that matter. As if Albus was reading his mind, he spoke.
"Minerva is a fireball, isn't she...." Albus said with a hint of admiration. He glanced at Severus with a knowing smile. "Am I correct, Severus?"
Severus' cheeks twinged with what looked like pink on his incredibly pale skin. "I don't know what you are talking about, Albus...."
Suddenly, the door to the common room burst open and in walked a troop of miscreants. Sirius was the lead, Minerva was next, after her was Trelawny and Remus, and bringing up the rear was Astra, who looked furious.
"I'm telling you this now fer yer own stinkin' good! Stay here!" She kicked Sirius in the rear and growled. "Outside is nothing but trouble and those kids will eat you alive if you go on with this stupid game! They will want to know who you are, what you are, where yer goin' what you are doin' here!"
"You missed why and how...." said Remus. He suddenly cowered as Astra rounded on him. "Sorry, ma'am...." he stammered.
Harry walked over to Astra and patted her on her back. She growled at Sirius and Minerva. They were still sulking indignantly at her treatment of them. "Don't give me that! You deserved every bit of it that you got!"
"I think they get the point now, Miss Knight..." said Albus. He had stepped in front of Astra and was smiling at her with a pleasant smile. She huffed and stalked off out of the common room. Albus turned to Harry and smiled pleasantly. "She's a fireball as well, is she not?"
"You don't know how right you are...." Harry said with a sigh of relief.
I drew and colored a cute picture of Harriet riding a white and blue dragon. It's too adorable! :3
