Chapter seven ~ Rumors

"I heard, Mary Blue saying that she is working with you-know-who, be careful Harry" Ron said as they walked down the corridor towards their next class, DADA.

"But she's so nice and not that bad looking either" Harry answered, much to Hermione's surprise.

"Ugh, Boys" she complained and started to pick up her pace to catch up with friends.

"What about her sisters?"

Ron shrugged in reply and continued to listen to Harry.

"I mean, Professor Matthews is cute but her eyes aren't half as good as Professors Halliwell's" Harry rambled on.

Ron tried to stop himself from laughing. "Yeah right mate. She's married with three kids. Kind of out of your league"

Harry rolled his eyes and listened as Ron started to talk about his holidays. He was surprised when Ron was cut of by a teacher.

"Not talking about me, hey Harry?" Piper asked.

"Er no sir. I mean Madam" Harry blushed.

Piper smiled at him. Harry felt like he was melting under her gaze. "It's Piper, Harry, don't like people calling me Mrs. Halliwell" She walked off with a smile.

DADA was surprisingly interesting for Harry and his friends; they got to cast spells on each other. But of course, William screwed it up by asking Piper if she knew Voldemort.

"Nope" Piper answered "quiet frankly I don't care who the hell he is" That shocked the kids.

"But Snape said-" William continued but was cut off by Piper.

"And you believe anything that comes out of the idiot's mouth?" The classroom froze, not knowing what to say or do. They had never heard any professors rip off other professors.

"Can you show us that trick then?" Justin asked.

"Sure you mean this" she stopped as she froze the room. She walked to the back of the room and unfroze them.

"Where'd she go?"

"One?" Piper continued. All the kids spun around and cheered. Piper bowed.

"Professor Halliwell? Don't you believe in Lord Voldemort?" Harry asked. When he said Lord Voldemort, a lot of the kids shivered.

"Do you have proof that he is the most powerful guy in the world?" Piper asked, while she made her way up to her desk.

Harry nodded and pushed his hair out of the way of his scar.

"He gave you that scar?"

"Yup" Harry smiled at Piper's expression.

"Guess what? I've been up against worst and more dangerous"

"Piper!" A sharp male voice said firmly from the door. She spun around to see Leo.

"Awe my long lost Husband. Here for pleasure or work?"

"Work" Leo replied walking over to her, grabbing her hand. He pulled her outside.

"I thought I told you never to spill secrets about you being one third of the most powerful witches in the world!" Leo said sharply.

"Chill man, I didn't do anything" Piper pulled away from Leo.

"You used your freezing power to freeze practically everyone. What would've happened if Dumbledore walked in? He took you guys in, not knowing that you were undercover. Piper use your brain"

"Tut, tut Undercover are we? Dumbledore not knowing? Freezing huh?" Snape sneered from the shadows.

"Snape, keep your mouth shut" Piper ordered.

"Why should I?"

"Cause if you don't I'll have to rid you of this world" Piper threatened, blowing up a nearby empty picture frame.

Snape sneered.

Snape told Dumbledore, everything he had heard. Of course Dumbledore did not believe him.
