Hey, s'up? I glad ya'll like my ficcy! I'm having fun writing it,
that's for sure! OK, two things, I want to thank once again, Ibonekoen for
being such a cool critic! *Audiences claps* OK, settle down! Next I want to
ask a very important question.. I've been thinking of doing a new ficcy,
called "The Hogwarts Prank War"
From the title its obvious that a prank war is gonna occur at Hogwarts, but get this. Its gonna be the students verse the Faculty! And no one knows what side Hagrid and Albus are on! My mother's been helping me come up with things we can do (like having Hermione put a spell on Snape making him think he's a bat and he tries to fly!) to both the students and the faculty. I've got pranks I can do to almost all the faculty but the ones that's gonna be the hardest is Dumbledore.
I want help. I want this to be a co-written ficcy. Ibonekoen says she'll do it with me but I was thinking a couple others might want to join.so what do you say? If you want to be a part of "The Hogwarts Prank War" either let me know in the review or email me at tigerrla17@AOL.com. Oh yeah! I don't own NE1 except Fairy, Jadzia Snape, Athena McGonagall, Madam Avian, and NE1 else u don't recognize! Tankies! Always me, Bashful C!
~~*~~ Chappy Three ~~*~~
Ever since the owl attack, Malfoy had been exceptionally nice to Harry, although the Gryffindor three (AKA Harry, Ron, and Hermione) suspected it was because of Fairy. Fairy went everywhere with Harry; she ate with Harry in the Great Hall, she went to Quidditch practice, and she went to class with him as well. Most of the teachers had been a little annoyed at having a Hawk in the class but they had gotten use to it.
In Potions class, Snape had become unusually tolerant of Harry. It wasn't until the third day that Harry found out that Draco had told Snape what Fairy had done. Harry also noticed that Fairy had a habit of giving Snape one of her unnerving stares whenever he would come in contact with Harry. Hermione suspected that Snape didn't like the hawk; she even went as far as to say that he was scared of her.
Fairy had made friends with McGonagall however. For some reason, whenever Harry didn't need Fairy (every time other than Potions), she would fly up and watch class, or weirdly enough, talk with McGonagall. Harry had overheard her telling Dumbledore that Fairy reminded her of someone but she couldn't remember who. He had heard various other professors saying the same thing, including Snape. Hermione had made a list, hoping to try and find out anything the professors had in common with a hawk. So far, she hadn't had any luck, much to Ron's amusement. Not being able to figure it out was driving Hermione nuts.
It was the day before the first Quidditch match of the season, (Gryffindor verse Slytherin) and the team was practicing hard. They knew that the Slytherin were going to try and pulverize Gryffindor because of their Quidditch cup win two years before. Harry surveyed the six other members of the team. With Oliver and Alicia both gone (Alicia had graduated the year before), they had needed to find a new keeper and chaser. Ron had enthusiastically tried out, and won, the position of keeper while Ginny had surprised everyone when she tried out and got the position of chaser. The team had voted Harry to be captain. At first, he had been nervous about the added responsibility, but Fairy had calmed him down with one of her looks. She did that a lot.
"Ok, guys, were gonna do a scrimmage!" Harry yelled to the group, directing his Firebolt to the center of the field. The team gathered around and Ron was the first to speak.
"What's a scrimmage?" Harry smiled but Katie spoke up first.
"A scrimmage is a muggle practice. Basically you put the team against each other and play a short game." Harry nodded.
"Except were gonna do it a bit different." He motioned downwards. The team looked down. The Ravenclaw team was staring up at them with smiles.
"I asked the Ravenclaw team to join us for this scrimmage. It'll be like a regular game, except remember we're simply here to practice. It's not a real game" He was looking directly at the twins as he said this. The rest of the team grinned while George and Fred gave Harry identical sheepish looks.
The Ravenclaw's kicked off and the scrimmage began. Hermione had offered to let the balls loose and Harry was high in the air looking around for the tiny golden snitch (with Cho across from him) when something else caught his attention.
Fairy was flying toward him a breakneck speed, before he could move, she had rammed into him and the two fell. For a fleeting moment, Harry thought he was going die but all of a sudden he landed something big, gold, red, and warm. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a huge dragon attacking Fairy and Hedwig. It didn't look like they were winning. He looked down at the Phoenix that had caught him and whispered his thanks before passing out from shock.
It was late that night, after being fussed over by Madam Pomfrey in the Hospital wing, that Harry was allowed to go and check on his owl and hawk. Running up to the owlery, he looked everywhere for Hedwig or Fairy but couldn't find either.
"Harry? If you're looking for Hedwig or Fairy, their both up in Professor Dumbledore's office." Harry spun around. Madam Avian was standing in her office doorway, smiling encouragingly at him. He nodded.
"Thanks." He took off for Professor Dumbledore's office. Along the way he ran into an old woman with dark robes and silver streaked hair. He had never seen her before in his life but for some reason felt he knew her. He gave her a sheepish look and mumbled his apologies. She smiled.
"Excuse me young man, can you direct me to Albus Dumbledore's office?" Harry nodded.
"That's where I was going." She smiled. He led the old woman to the gargoyle that lead to the headmaster's office and his mind went blank for a moment. He didn't know the password. Glancing back at the woman, he started muttering a dozen or so wizard candies, before in a desperate attempt, muttered "Reeses Pieces". To his shock and amusement, the gargoyle jumped to one side and the door opened. The two walked up the staircase and Harry knocked on the door. The door opened to reveal Minerva McGonagall. The moment the two women saw each other, they both smiled. Harry looked between the two women for a moment and finally made the connection.
"You two are related!" McGonagall raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, Mr. Potter. This is my mother, Athena McGonagall." Harry smiled sheepishly, a blush forming in his cheeks.
"Athena, I'm so glad you came." Professor Dumbledore's voice floated over to them. Harry glanced at the headmaster and then noticed his two birds. He rushed to their sides. They appeared to be OK; a little weak, but fine. He softly stroked both their feathers while listening to the conversation between the two McGonagall's and the headmaster.
"You said that you needed my expertise with birds, Albus. I'm curious how my..talent.would be of any use." Athena inquired. Albus chuckled.
"Mr. Potter has attracted the attention of a night hawk, which he named Fairy. Today, while the Gryffindor Quidditch team was practicing with the Ravenclaw team, a dragon came out of nowhere and tried attacking Harry. Somehow, Fairy knew and with my Phoenix, Fawkes, and Harry's owl, Hedwig, went and defended and saved him. Luckily, Hagrid was able to trap the dragon and Fairy and Hedwig flew straight to my office, while Fawkes took Harry to the Hospital wing." Harry glanced at Athena. She was thinking this over. Finally she turned to her daughter.
"You said something about the hawk wasn't a true hawk? That from the small portion of my gift you inherited, you were able to decipher two words, James and Potter, correct?" Harry's eyes went wide as Professor McGonagall nodded, pursing her lips.
"I've been thinking why she would say that. Did you know that James Potter was an illegal animagi?" Athena raised an eyebrow in an eerie imitation of the Professor.
"No, I did not know that." Albus frowned at Professor McGonagall. McGonagall glanced at Harry before nodding to the headmaster.
"I think it's more than possible that Jadzia was also an illegal animagus. Heaven knows she would be able to do it. The only question is why she can't change back." Albus nodded. He walked over to the fireplace and threw a pinch of powder into it.
"Remus Lupin!" Harry watched entranced as Professor Lupin's face emerged in the flames.
"Yes Albus? Can I help you?" Professor Dumbledore glanced at Athena then spoke to the face of the former DADA teacher.
"Yes, I need you to come to the school immediately. Bring Snuffles with you." Remus face nodded and a moment later vanished. Professor Dumbledore muttered an inaudible spell and a second later Professor Lupin and a great black dog appeared in the middle of the office. Remus glanced around, smiled at Harry then turned his attention to the headmaster.
Snuffles however, did something else entirely. He walked over to Harry and the two birds. The moment he saw the hawk, he froze. A second later, he started barking madly at Fairy who had opened her eyes the moment Snuffles started barking. Usually, when a hawk see's a dog barking madly at her, said hawk would go screwy, but Fairy just seemed amused. She chirped a few times and Snuffles stopped barking and cocked his head. Harry heard Athena gasp and turn to see her go white. Finally she choked out.
"'Fairy'" said 'Sirius Arnold Black, you stop barking or I'll have your hide! Literally!'" Albus and Minerva chuckled and even Harry couldn't stop the snicker that escaped. Athena looked from her daughter, to Albus, to Harry and frowned. Harry noticed she was still white.
"Mother, Sirius Black was innocent. At the last minute Lily and James switched to Peter as secret keeper. Peter cut off his own finger and killed all those people then changed into his animagus form, a rat. He then escaped." Athena had gotten some of the color back into his face and seemed to accept the truth. Sirius changed back into his human form and nodded. He was still lanky, but he had a bit of meat on his bones and he now had new robes. His hair was pulled back into a ponytail and he looked, well, presentable. Athena studied him for a few moments before nodding to herself. Sirius gave a grim smile and then remembered the hawk.
"Albus, Minerva is right. Jadzia was also involved, as was Lily, although Jadz and I were the only ones who knew about Lily. Lily was a dove and Jadzia was a night hawk, and an exceptionally small one." Harry's eyes went wide as he turned to look at the hawk that had saved his life. Fairy seemed to smile and turned to Athena. She started chirping rapidly; too fast for Harry to follow. Athena listened with growing shock until finally Fairy stopped chirping. Shaking her head she turned to Albus.
"I think you should call Severus Snape here, Albus." Albus nodded.
"No need, Athena." Snape shakily stepped out of the shadows and stared at the hawk.
"Jadzia?" He murmured. Fairy-turned-Jadzia chirped and flew into Snape's arms. He clutched her like a life preserver and Harry was started to see a single tear fall from his eye. Harry smiled. He turned to see Albus, Athena, Minerva, Remus, and Sirius talking quietly in the corner. Finally Albus turned to Severus who quickly regained his composure.
"Severus, it seems Voldemort put a very strong enchantment upon Jadzia when she changed. She had changed hoping she could escape with Harry. The enchantment makes it so she cannot change into her human form unless someone else makes her." Severus eyes narrowed as Remus pulled out his wand.
"I think I will perform the spell, Lupin. After all, she is my wife." Sirius rolled his eyes.
"Do you have to keep reminding us?" Snape glared at Sirius, who in turn glared right back. Jadzia pecked at Snape's robes. He glanced at her.
"Yes well, I think its time Jadzia was returned to her original form." Jadzia gave a happy chirp and flew to the floor. Snape gave Albus the first genuine smile Harry had ever seen on him. Then he turned and started murmuring a spell under his breath. Slowly, the hawk changed into a young woman. She had knee length jet-black hair; her emerald green eyes with vivid purple specks were wide and lush. She had curves in all the right places and her face had a girlish quality to it. When the transformation was complete, Harry saw that she had a deep Purple robe with silver embroidery. Her hair was in a single, very messy braid. She had a scar on her left cheek and she was very skinny.
She took a shaky breath and turned to Severus. The two simply looked at each other before all his composure left him and he pulled her to him in a bone crushing hug. The tears started flowing from not only Severus, but Jadzia as well. Harry felt some at his side and looked up. Remus smiled down at him and motioned toward the door.
"Let's let them get reacquainted. Don't worry, you'll meet her soon enough. We'll take Hedwig back to the Owlery then you can go to your common room and let Hermione and Ron know your aunt is back." Harry nodded, realizing Ron and Hermione were probably worried about him. The last thing he saw before he left the room was his aunt and uncle..sharing a kiss.
Author Notes: I hope you liked this. If you have comments, let me know in reviews. I don't know when I'll get the next chappy cuz I joined the Basketball team at my school and we have practice almost every day. Also, yesterday was my birthday, I'm 17! I'm gonna go and see "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" on Friday for my birthday! Cool, huh?
One more thing, ya know how Harry can talk with snakes? Well Athena McGonagall has the ability to talk with birds, even animagus birds! And when Minerva was born, she didn't inherit the full abilities, because her father could talk with canines (dogs). So she inherited a little bit of both abilities, but not enough so that she can have convo's with birds or dogs. It's like when you inherit a nose or eyes from your parents. Some things are from your mother and some are from your father, but their always a bit different from your 'rents. I hope that explains everything, but knowing me all I've probably accomplished is making you guys even more confused. LOL. NEwho, that's about it! Laterz! Always me, Bashful C
