This is the teacher chapter. It will be like this on and off throughout the story.

*****

Professor Dumbledore called a very important meeting a week after the dreaded Holloween night. The teachers need to get together tonight to discuss the student behaivior for the past week. The students seemed to be sluggish and tired looking. It was close to Mid- November and Christmas vacation was coming up soon. But they have never acted like this before. In his years of teaching here, he's never seen students act like this.

Dumbledore pased around the teachers lounge waiting for everyone to arrive. Things were very silent tonight. The students must have went to bed early, very unlike them since the begining of the year. They usually kept lights on and loud on Friday nights. Tonight wasn't a Friday, but they were loud at this time of night. The children's voices echoed throughout the halls and kept him awake for many nights. Later he put a spell to block the noise so he could sleep.

McGonagall entered first. She looked a little troubled, but the same all around.

"What is wrong tonight, Albus?" She asked a little concerned.

"Nothing. I just need a meeting to discuss the students behaivior lately." He sat himself down and waited for the others to come.

"Yes they have been acting strange, but no more than usual." She sat herself down.

Severus Snape entered with his robes swishing behind him. A little Professor Flitwick followed by Madame Hooch. Soon enough the rest of the staff entered ready for the sudden meeting.

"Thank you all for coming. I have called you here to discuss the students." Albus waved his wands and snacks and drinks appeared for all. "They have been acting a bit strange this past week. They don't make any sound and go to sleep earlier."

"They are also doing their homework. Not that they weren't doing it before, but it was very rare for everyone to pass in their homework." Flitwick stated before taking a drink.

"I think they have been acting better this week." Snape started. "Before Holloween the Slytherins and Gryffindors were being..." he searched for the words, "nice. They worked together in groups. This week they regret what they have done."

"They are also acting much more respectable. They don't ignore teachers and act like idiots." McGonagall pointed out.

All teachers nodded at that statement.

"They are acting very sluggish. They look very sick. I'm thinking it might be the side affects of what happened a week ago." Albus' voice was very calm.

"There was nothing that shows that it's an epidemic nor a sickness of some sort. When most woke up they seemed to be much happier and not sick at all. None of my tests say they were affected my anything." Mdm. Pomfrey poked into the conversation.

"We still must figure out what is wrong for the well being of the students," McGonagall stated fearlessly.

"Could they be taking something?" A teacher asked.

"Servous, is there any kind of potion you can think of that can do something like this to a person?" Dumbledore looked at Snape with a little hope.

"Not that I can think of. But I can see if there any modern potions that some wizards have come up with."

"Is there anything else you've all noticed about the students?"

"Yeah, they all seem to love Harry Potter." One teacher spat out.

"Even the Slytherins." Another added.

"I've noticed that." Albus commented.

"Do you think it has something to do with Potter?" McGonagall looked concerned.

"I don't know." Albus shook his head.

"Maybe we should summon Ms. Manson." Professor Sprout passed on to the other teachers. "She's into this kind of stuff with schools."

"Isn't she the one that got those kids off that addicting potion in Crowrock" McGonagall questioned.

"Diazepam." Snape dryly stated, "It was in the United States. They all have drug problems at the schools.

"Severus," Albus warned. "What ever it is I will wait to call Lisa. We need to look into this before we ask her to come. She is very busy. I ask you all to watch the students closely and to keep me up-to-date on what changes."

"What do you want us to do about the plants outside? I still can't teach classes in the greenhouses. My students are not getting first hand on what to do with plants." Sprout complained.

"We are still doing reasearch on it. Thank you all for coming. I will call you for another meeting in the future."

All the teachers got up and left besides McGonagall. Albus slowly got up and headed for the door with her by his side.

"Do you think it might be the plants?" She asked.

"No, I don't think so. If they are any kind of narcotic then they are diluted with potions and charms. Proabaly wont do anything to the student if they went near them."
