(A/N!! Woohooo! Chapter 11 is up. I was up until 1:00 in the morning last night writing the last
chapter, which is my longest one and just over 3000 words. I think I just kept writing and writing
because it was so romantic. If you felt the Dumbledore part was rushed at all, I made it that way so
could get on to the ending. Yeh! Harry and Ginny have hooked up– In this chapter, It is the first day
of school, so everyone is arriving at the Ministry. The last chapter almost stepped on the pedal to an R
rating, but I decided to just keep at PG-13 for now. As you can see, there is another relationship
going on, Tonks and Lupin– I WANT YOU ALL TO READ THE STORY To the Benefit of the Being of Mr.
Wood. In the story today, it will reach R, so I will have to change it by the next chapter. If you like
sexy stories, than this is for you. It's NOT for the faint-hearted. A rated R and for a good reason. The
last chapters are definitely not G. Just go to my favorite authors and stories to get the link. Without
further ado, CHAPTER 11!)
CHAPTER ELEVEN
Affotts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Harry awoke the next morning lying under the sheets on Ginny's bed. His arms were wrapped
around her. He also realized it was close to 10:00 in the morning.
"Uh oh," he said. He gradually got his arms out from Ginny's grip and pulled her hair back. He
then kissed her on the cheek.
Harry slid across the bed, avoiding crashing into Ginny's legs, and opened the door quietly.
What he found was very disturbing. Tonks was on the sofa, Lupin on top of her.
"Er–" Harry said aloud. Tonks jumped up, sending Lupin crashing into the coffee table which
broke under his weight and sent glass all over the floor. Lupin steadily got up and wiped the glass off
himself. "Repairo," he said and the table fixed itself together again.
"Another mouth check," Lupin said.
"Tonks already told me, Lupin," Harry laughed. "Falling out of bushes, are we now?"
Lupin glared at Tonks, but then started to smile again. She got up off the couch and grabbed
Lupin's hands.
"Well... um– we really must be going. Mad-Eye is with Fudge right now, just so you know. And
Affotts starts today. You have to be there by 6:00 tonight," Tonks informed. She propelled Lupin out
of the room. Harry followed to room 36A and saw Lupin inside their bedroom... and Tonks grinning at
Harry as she closed the door.
"Where have you been?" a voiced demanded. "You never came to bed last night!"
"Oh... I fell asleep on the sofa in the other room," Harry lied.
"You weren't there this morning. Lupin was giving Tonks a mouth inspection," the voice said,
and saw Hermione turn around from the stove.
"I was up early to go get some... coffee."
"Yes, well–right. Fine, eat some eggs," she edged him on.
"That's fine Hermi–"
"EAT SOME DAMN EGGS!" she yelled. "I have never cooked before. Tell me what you think of
them!" Harry was afraid to approach her, feeling that she would stick the skewers, which she was
holding, right into his eye.
"Why do you have skewers?" Harry asked her.
"I am making beef kebabs."
"At breakfast?"
"Just eat the eggs, Harry," Hermione said calmly, temper rising. "Or else the skewer goes in
your eye... and a variety of other openings."
Harry, perplexed on how Hermione was acting, grabbed a plate of eggs haughtily and sat
down at the table. He just begun eating when a scream issued from Lupin's bedroom.
"OH LUPIN!" the voice shrieked.
Harry looked at Hermione. She looked like she was about to throw up.
"Well at least Ron will wake up now," she said optimistically. "And he can try my eggs."
The screaming continued. Harry had had enough. He walked over to the door and pounded on
it.
"WOULD YOU SHUT THE BLOODY HELL UP? THERE ARE KIDS OUT HERE! SO IS
DUMBLEDORE!"
The screaming stopped and Lupin came to the doorway in a robe. His face looked ashen.
"Dumbledore?" he said, terrified.
"No," Harry said. "But at least you stopped."
Lupin shut the door on Harry's face and there was no more commotion after that. Everyone
seemed to be a bit sexual lately. It was very interesting. He was with Ginny now. Hermione was
cussing and hitting Draco Malfoy. Ron– well Ron wasn't doing anything, and Tonks and Lupin were
usually found in the most open places, giving each other "mouth checks." Now they were doing an
assortment of things in their bedroom, with much screaming.
He needed to escape the atmosphere, so he got dressed and exited 36A by going through the
next room. He took a detour though to Ginny's bedroom. When he opened the door, he almost
fainted. Ginny was getting dressed. That was not very good that Harry had walked into her bedroom.
She gasped and grabbed a curtain to hide her chest.
"Harry!" she said in a hushed voice.
"Um, I'll leave now," he said awkwardly.
"It's fine, it's fine. So many people have walked in on me changing. Practically the whole
family. Just throw me that top over on the desk right there. Yeah, that one– good... Thanks," she said
with a slight frustration in her voice.
Harry closed the door and walked over to her as she put on her top.
"I liked last night," she began and let down the curtains to put her hands on his waist. "That
was very sweet of you."
Harry kissed her forehead. He was considerably taller, so he had to bend down a bit. Harry
was about to sit her down on the bed to kiss her on the neck, when the door shot open.
"Ginny?" Ron said as he barged in. He saw Harry who quickly pulled away.
"Ron!" Ginny screamed.
"Harry!" Ron yelled.
Harry stood there, not able to speak.
"Mum told me to check if you had all your school supplies. Why is Harry in here?"
"I asked him to help me make my bed," she said convincingly. Ron eyed Harry.
"All right, mate," he said to Harry.
Harry stared at Ginny who winked at him. Ron examined Ginny's desk.
"You need to clean, Ginny," Ron said. "I mean, put your undergarments away at least." He
held up a bra that hung from the desk.
Ginny blushed.
"I guess I'd be going. Let's all visit Fred and George today," Harry said. Ron nodded.
Harry walked out of the room and went back to 36A. Hermione was sitting there, listening to
Tonks in Lupin's bedrooms.
"This is very amusing," she said. "She keeps saying things like- 'Oh yes, Remus!' and 'Right
there!'"
Harry sniggered. "People have gone crazy. Were all supposed to be scared of Voldemort
coming back to power, but instead, people are having– let's just say-- sessions with one another,"
Harry said.
"Yeah... sessions in the room next door," Hermione laughed. "Do you want to get some
coffee?"
Harry and Hermione took off for the bar downstairs, which they always seemed to go to every
morning. They were like a Muggle world Starbucks, which Hermione loved to drink at.
They didn't visit Fred and George. They all delayed again. Instead, they packed up their stuff
and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley led them to the new school by way of the stairs in the back of the building.
Kids of all ages, dressed in cloaks, tried to file into the elevator, which had many disgruntled Ministry
worked inside.
"They need to take the stairs!" Mrs. Weasley said. "But then again, it's not that easy to
levitate it down five flights or so."
When at last they had reached the bottom of the stair case, they were greeted with two huge
doors with gold letters on it that said Affotts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"This is the main entrance kids," Mr. Weasley said. "We'll leave you here. Please feel free to
visit us. I think you three are the only ones aloud to leave the school. No wait, Ginny and this boy
named Nevpill and Lena are aloud to also."
"Neville and Luna?" Hermione asked.
"Yes... I remember. Your aloud to roam because you guys fought all those Death Eaters! I
guess it's a treat from Dumbledore, not to mention, you three know about the Order."
Harry and Ron looked excited. They bid ado and entered the hallway which was lined with
torches that glared a misty red-orange glow like on Dumbledore's floor. Kids were all ready in the
hallway, catching up with each other, trunks were left on the other side of the wall and into a
courtyard of the sort with was set up like the Great Hall. It was square like the one at Hogwarts, but it
had an enchanted ceiling that looked like the sky over the Ministry. Trees and grass were
everywhere... birds roamed the area and benches were set up everywhere. Trunks were place
haphazardly everywhere in the vicinity.
"Where is Ginny?" Ron asked.
"I think she is waiting for Luna to arrive, upstairs," Hermione answered as they pulled their
trunks to a wall. They each put their wands in their robes and tied their cloaks up. When they entered
the Great Hall, it was spectacular– it looked exactly like the one at Hogwarts. Candles floated in mid
air giving off illuminated colors, anywhere from a a forest green to a gothic black.
Students sat at every table, Slytherin at the west end, Ravenclaw on the east. There were no
windows, unfortunately, because they were underground. Harry, Ron, and Hermione took a seat at
the front of the Gryffindor table where Dean and Seamus already sat.
"Do you know what's happened to Hogwarts?" Seamus said to Dean. "They say that an
earthquake destroyed it!" Dean gasped in amazement. Ron laughed to himself.
"It's going to be a lonely year for Quidditch," Harry said. "I mean, what are we to do about
the team? We've lost five members! Alicia, Katie, Angelina, Fred, and George. Not to mention, Ginny
got booted off and she's probably a keeper now, and were sure as hell going to replace the beaters."
Ron nodded in agreement. "Who's the new captain?"
"It would have to be a seventh year. But since we have four positions to fill, we can't just put
in a seventh year who are playing on a team for their first time... they wouldn't be able to be captain.
It would have to be you Harry... you've been on it for four years. Last year was different."
"I suppose you lot will have to talk to McGonagall about it," Hermione interrupted.
Ginny came in to the Great Hall with Luna Lovegod, a person Harry greatly admired since she
shared some of the main views he did. Ginny escorted her to the Ravenclaw table and she waved
good-bye to come and sit across from Harry at the Gryffindor table.
"Hey everyone," she said.
"Hi Ginny," Hermione said and begun to talk to her. Harry was beginning to talk to Seamus,
Dean, and Ron when a foot rubbed his leg.
Harry let out a slight wheeze and kept talking. He thought it was Ginny's foot. He was quite
correct, too. Her foot kept inching its way of his leg. Harry was breathing in rapidly at the time and
Ron had taken a great deal of notice.
"Are you all right?" Ron asked him. Harry nodded quickly. "Yes, I'm fine," he said.
Ginny's foot continued to do so as Harry talked about Quidditch with the rest of the guys.
Neville then came in about twenty minutes later and sat next to Dean.
"My gram didn't know where to go! Then we finally found it and I thought I was in a dream.
This is brilliant... the way they set it up..." Neville said as he looked around.
The Great Hall continued to fill up with students. Teachers made their way to their seats from
a back entrance that Harry had seen when the people were chosen from the Goblet of Fire to compete
in The Tri-Wizard Tournament. Finally, Dumbledore, you was having a conversation with Professor
Sinastra about the lining up of the planets every so-many years, stood up to give his beginning of
year speech. He tapped his goblet with his spoon and everyone quieted down.
"Welcome to another year at a new school. I think I should say the reason why we cannot go
back to Hogwarts– Voldemort and his supporters have inhabited the hills by Hogsmeade. The village is
empty and many people are dead. When the teachers were at Hogwarts, Dementors attacked the
school, and kidnaped Professor Trelawney." All the students looked at her. She looked tired and weak
but she smiled feebly and waved. "She is fine, so do not worry. We had to evacuate the school
because Dementors might still be patrolling it. The Ministry built us this school instead. It is quite
beautiful and is almost a replica of Hogwarts, so you find it easy to find classes. On your new
schedules, though, there will be specific instructions to get to your classes. Roaming out of the school
and to the Ministry is not permitted. Hogsmeade trips will be replaced with trips to Diagon Alley. I
believe that is all."
"Hem...hem..." came a familiar voice. Dumbledore smiled nastily. It was the first time Harry
had seen him to such a thing.
"And Professor Umbridge is back to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts. She is no longer The
High Inquisitor, though..."
She stood up to give a speech. Many of the students went back to talking to their friends like
they did when they had arrived.
"All of you will be safe this year under Affotts roof and the beloved Ministry's protection. If
there is any disrespect towards me, actions will be taken including suspension from your Quidditch
team... if you play on one–" Harry rolled his eyes. "Detentions with me." Harry rolled his eyes again.
"Or a series of other things. Thank you."
She sat down and Dumbledore spoke again.
"I think it is time to begin this well-prepared feast!" He raised his hands and brought them
down. Barrels of food appeared out of nowhere on the table. Huge roasted chickens with whipped
potatoes. Chocolate Frogs that were ribbiting in sterling gold bowls. There were cakes of coconut
frosting and marble insides.
Harry grabbed some smoked ham first and plopped a chocolate frog into his mouth after he
had gotten the wizard card. The feast began and soon ended, but not before Ron was full to the
extent, which wouldn't be for a while, as he had eaten three pieces of chicken and five slices of ham...
