Chapter 2

Alan sighed as his state of dress, or case of undress as the case was, was distracting the students. For example Ginny Weasley was staring into space, with a smirk on her face. Alan shuddered as he wondered what she was thinking. "Miss Weasley, PAY ATTENTION!"

Ginny snapped out of her trance and looked interested in what he was telling the class.

Alan smirked as he looked at Draco Malfoy, who was bearing the after-effects of the curses he sent his way. Before he could say anything else, the bell rang, everyone was glad to get out of there for once and get some dinner.

Harry sat down heavily next to Ron and help himself to chicken and potatoes. "I can't believe I got detention.."

"'Ell 'e 'ot it 'oo 'long 'iv 'erret 'ace." Ron said through a mouthful of swallowed. "Even though he was in a bad mood, he's great."

"That was so cool." Neville leaned over to mutter.

"Yeah, Malfoy didn't know what hit him," Dean chipped in.

"Wonder if he'll teach me that one," Seamus said, laughing.

"What other curses do you think he has up his sleves?" Ron asked.

"Yeah, next time Malfoy insults my family...." Ginny muttered.

"He's supposed to teach us about muggles, not new curses...That one isn't in the standard book of spells." Hermione said sternly.

"Hermione, will you lighten up? You're muggle born, you know all about muggles." Ron stated. "Wonder who we could ask..."

Ron was interupted by Steven and Shaun Snape plonking themselves down,looking mischievious. "That was so cool." Steven muttered to his brother.

"Sirius won't know what hit him." Shaun agreed.

"What did you do?"Hermione asked sternly.

"I'm afraid to know the answer." Harry was curious but he wondered what they could've done to his godfather. Since those two had arrived they had been playing pranks on everyone. They had dyed Dumbledore's beard bright orange, hair dyeing seemed to be their speciality, scared Mrs Norris into thinking she was a giant turnip, how they did that, Harry didn't really want to know, made Remus' coffee taste like strawberry bubblegum, and that was just for starters. They had quite the reputation as pranksters but, seeing as they hung around with the Marauders when they were in school, that fact came to no surprise to Harry.

"Is it true that our dear brother gave Malfoy a hairstyle he won't forget?" Steven asked, smirking in a Snape like way when Malfoy slinked in and scuttled to the Slytherin table, where he was comforted by a crying Pansy, amid roars of laughter from the other tables. "Wow, he really got him good... That, my friends, is why you should never piss off Alan. What did Malfoy do anyway?"

"He called Hermione a mudblood." Ginny stated.

"HE DID?" Steven and Shaun gasped.

"Oh no wonder..." Steven muttered.

"He hates that word." Shaun explained, seeing the others puzzled faces.

"Ok I'll bite, what did you do?" Harry asked.

"Well if you must know... We put a bubble blowing potion in Sirius' drink...."

"And when he opens his mouth... Blub!Blub!" Steven finished, miming Sirius blowing bubbles and the others couldn't help themselves, they burst out laughing when, just then, Sirius opened his mouth to say somthing and he blew three neon green bubbles which hovered above his head. He quickly shut his mouth with a snap and ignored the laughter around him.

Severus smirked and said to Remus, who came to sit down next to him. "Trust those two..."

Remus grinned at Sirius, "Sorry, Padfoot, but you've got to admit that they got you good." Sirius nodded and turned to Severus, "Don't you mean three? Look at Mr Malfoy," Severus looked over and saw Draco's face and hair, "I heard from Sirius, before the bubbles, that Alan did that to him. He gave Ron, Hermione and Harry detention along with Malfoy of course."

"What did Mr Malfoy do to upset Alan so much? That's the question." Severus wondered. "Why did they get detention?"

"You can ask him, here he comes..."

Alan came and sat down, on the other side of Severus, "Hi guys and girls, so what do you think of Malfoy's new look?" He seemed to be in a better mood, even with the tail, ears, fangs, whiskers and see-through robes. As soon as he sat down he was aware of all the teachers' eyes on him.

"What did he do?"

"He called Hermione a mudblood."Alan answered.

The other teachers gasped and a furious tirade burst out at those words.

"How dare he?"

"Insolent little brat..."

Alan looked at Dumbledore and was pleased to see that Albus' eyes were twinkling. "Nice makeover. How long does it last?"

"A week." Alan replied and was pleased to see the staff chuckle at that.

"Well he deserved it." Remus muttered.

"I would've done more than that to him." Sirius growled, between bubbles.

Alan raised an eyebrow. "Oh those two got you too..." Indicating his see-through robes, he added. "I hope this wears off soon.I'm sick of everyone seeing my underwear..."

"That's not all you have..." Remus muttered,as he turned to speak to Sirius, laughing when bubbles kept coming out of Sirius' mouth.

"What does he mean by that?" Alan asked, totally puzzled.

"You mean you don't know?" Severus shook his head. "Nevermind... I hear you gave the 'Golden Trio' detention. I trust you're not going to go easy on them, seeing as you were a Gryffindor yourself."

"Me? Go easy? Nah... I'll give 'em the old Alan special... You remember that, don't you Sev? I gave it to you once or twice." Alan asked.

Severus shudddered as he remembered that punishment too well. "Of course I do. I was stiff for hours. You should've been a Slytherin."

"Thank god. You think I'll be soft? The GT's won't know what hit them."

"GT's?" Severus asked.

"Golden Trio." Alan looked at his watch. "Time for the lambs to come to the slaughter." Alan said, with and evil smirk and left, leaving a worried potions master behind.

"You really shouldn't get into your characters like this, Alan...It could backfire." Severus muttered.
