devils-biatch99 ~ Aw, thank you!
Angl ~ *Gasps in horror* You poor thing, you don't know what a Mintie is? Actually, I think they must only be Australian. Oh well. They're chewy mint sweets.
LoonyLoopyLisa ~ I don't know, they seem to be feeling murderous to the poor headmaster. Sorry to say it, but Minnie had a worse hangover than Sevvie.
destinygurl ~ Thanks. I think Fred and George would make wonderful Ministers, but those four just wouldn't agree!
StarFire29@aol.com ~ Yeah, Minnie's got the worst hangover! Well done for guessing right! Enjoy the chapter!

Chapter Two ~ Getting There And Getting Started
The next morning at seven o'clock, Harry and Draco were standing in the Entrance Hall with Dumbledore.
Fawkes was sitting on Harry's shoulder, looking somewhat smug. No one knew why.
Draco turned to Dumbledore. "Headmaster, how is Fawkes going to tell us what to do? He's a bird!"
Dumbledore smiled serenely, his eyes doing that damn twinkling thing. "I don't know, Draco. It's up to you, Harry, Minerva and Severus to work that out."
There was a groan from the doorway to the dungeons, and a very hung over looking Severus dragged his luggage over and dumped it next to Harry's.
"Did you have a little to drink last night, Professor Snape?" Draco asked, smiling innocently.
Severus glared at Draco with more hatred than Remus Lupin had for his mother's good silverware.
There was another groan, and an even more hung over looking Minerva staggered out of the passageway to her rooms, levitating her luggage to rest beside Draco's.
"I think Professor McGonagall had a bit to drink too," Harry commented to Draco. The two had already called a truce, and were planning on making the trip hell for their professors.
Draco nodded wisely. "Yes, perhaps she had more than Snape?"
"Possibly. However, Draco, I think she just got into the catnip after a few drinks."
Dumbledore cleared his throat. "For this trip, boys, I believe it is wise for all four of you to call each other by your first names. Is that all right with you?"
Harry and Draco exchanged an evil smirk, already thinking of all the absurd nicknames they could come up with. They nodded to Dumbledore.
"So Albus, we're all here now. Where do we go from the school?"
"Minerva, I believe that the first part of your mission takes you to a very small Muggle town in Tasmania called Geeveston. I have made a PortKey to get you there."
Draco took the box of Lemon Drops and passed it to Harry. The four of them shrunk their luggage and pocketed it, before the other three reached out and touched the PortKey.
They felt the customary jerk behind their navel, and seconds later their feet were slamming into the ground of a large paddock.
Fawkes looked around from his perch on Harry's shoulder. ^Well, looks as though we aren't too far away from our goal. I must remember to thank Albus for that.^
The four of them stared at him.
^Oh don't look at me like that!^ the phoenix whined. ^Surely you didn't expect me to speak English! Of course I'm going to speak in your minds!^
Harry sighed. "Well, I suppose us learning to speak Phoenix was out of the question. What do we have to do now?"
Fawkes gave the phoenix equivalent to a grin, which was nothing more than a slight tilting of the beak. ^We-el, to cut a long, long story short, the local school needs an English teacher and a Science teacher. Any adult volunteers?^
There weren't any.
"Aw, come on Minnie, Sevvie, don't be boring!" Harry said with a decidedly evil grin.
"Yeah," Draco agreed. "The poor students could probably use some teachers who know how to teach!"
Fawkes nodded. ^They're right. And while you're teaching, Harry and Draco will be acting as students from another school, which they are, really, and after three months or so we can leave."
Severus looked desperately at Minerva, who had a similar expression on her face aimed at the Potions Master.
"Please?" Harry and Draco asked hopefully, adding an attempt (a successful one, mind you) at an adorable puppy dog face for good measure.
Minerva and Severus sighed in defeat. "Oh all right."
Three hours later, the two teachers (now a married couple with twin sons) and the two new students had been shown around the school by the Principal Andrew Jones, and were dreading the next day when they would have to return.
They had claimed a house which Fawkes had had put aside for their use, and each had their own bedroom.
#######################################
Harry went into his room, unpacked, and pulled out a piece of parchment, a quill, some ink, and his never-ending packet of Minties.
He had decided to write to his friends.
'Dear Ron, Hermione, Seamus, Dean, Neville, Parvati, Lavender, Padma, Hannah, Justin, Terry, Ginny and Blaise,
Okay, I'm going to make copies of this letter to send to each of you, so don't worry about passing it around or anything.
Remember I told you I was going to carry out the Order of the Phoenix? Well, Fawkes is telling us telepathically what to do, and we're starting by spending three months at a Muggle school in Australia!
Sevvie and Minnie (Don't ask) are going to be teaching, and Draco and I are students. The Principal is a bit of an idiot, I think, because he was wearing a purple shirt with a yellow tie. I just think that's sad.
Anyway, this was just an update note, stay tuned!
Harry'
Harry magically made twelve more copies of the letter and sent them using a spell Draco had told him earlier.
He then lay on his bed eating Minties and revising things he was supposed to know for school.
His last thought before he fell asleep due to boredom was that he really needed to kill both the Headmaster and the bird.
#######################################
Draco thought that Muggle students must get extremely bored. The work he was revising was enough to put anyone to sleep!
He frowned. He was running low on Minties. Luckily, he could easily buy some more tomorrow from a Muggle shop.
Before he fell asleep, Draco resolved to murder Dumbledore and Fawkes.
#######################################
Severus was going over the work he was planning on setting the GDHS students, and he knew it couldn't get any worse than this. Luckily, he could teach them all chemistry, which wasn't all that different to Potions.
He ate a Mintie, and got annoyed with the book he was reading. He threw it across the room, pretending it was someone who was really annoying him. Hm, that'd be Harry at the moment.
He glared evilly at the wall. He really needed to dispose of the Headmaster, and that infernal bird.
#######################################
Minerva was happily chewing a Mintie and reading a book on teaching English to Muggles.
Well, she was happily chewing the Mintie, anyway. The book she was reading was irritating her so much she set fire to it.
Quickly restoring it, she reminded herself to get rid of the old man and the phoenix in the most painful way possible.
