Ch. 5 - A New Room
Lynz's POV
I walked out of my Dad's rooms and walked down the halls to the Gryffindor common room. When I got there I went to my dorm room and searched through my bags for my backpack. I got out a pair of pajamas and a couple outfits because who knows how long I'm going to stay there. I went into the bathroom and grabbed my brush, toothbrush, toothpaste, both my school books (Hey, I need something to read!), and my wand and put it all in my backpack. I took out my copy of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' by William Shakespeare. I love his writing. I've read a lot of his plays. They're my favorite books to read. I sat down on the couch I slept on last night. I looked at my watch, it was 4:00 p.m. already! Dinner is at 5:00 so I'll read for a little while before dinner, then go to Dad's rooms. I sat and started reading.
Meanwhile.
Lupin's POV
I looked over Lynz's list. "She must like purple a lot. Half the stuff on her list is purple. What's a T. V.? A d.v.d. player? Oh well, I'll figure it out. Here goes." At those words I started to conjure everything that was on Lynz's list. When I was finished I looked around at my handy work. 'Pretty good if I do say so myself.' I thought. "I got an idea. I should make a photo album with me and Tayla when we were younger. She'll love it."
I got to work immediately. I probably looked for about half an hour when I noticed what time it was. "4:30? Already? Wow. Time flies when you're having fun. I better put this stuff away so I can surprise Lynz," I put all the photos in a drawer in my room and went out into the living room and picked up a book, 'Hamlet' by William Shakespeare. One of my favorite writers.
I sat down on the couch and opened to the first page and began to read. About 10 minutes later Lynz knocked on the door. "Who is it?" I asked.
"It's Lynz. Can I come in?"
"Of course you can. Your room is done, would you like to take a look before we head down to dinner?"
"Oh, yes, please!"
"Well follow me then, dear lady." I said still in Shakespeare mode.
Lynz's POV
I followed Dad to my room and he opened the door and I walked in. "It's amazing!" I said. "I love it! Thank you so much. When we go to Mum's house tomorrow I'll have to get some of my stuff! Like all my books1"
"Lynz, let's go get dinner before we're late. We only have a few minutes to get there."
"Oh, all right," I said. I wasn't the slightest bit hungry but I went anyway. I wanted to spend more time getting to know my Dad. 'Man, I love the sound of that word. Dad.'
We walked into the Great Hall as all of the other professors were walking in.
I tapped on my Dad's shoulder, "Where am I supposed to sit?" I whispered.
"I don't know. I'll have to ask Professor Dumbledore on that one," He whispered back to me.
"Ok, I'll go with you," I whispered.
We walked up to Professor Dumbledore's seat and Professor Lupin, 'I mean Dad!' asked, "Albus, where should Lynz sit?"
He thought for a second and then said, "She can sit up here with us until the term begins."
"Oh, and Albus, is it alright if I take Lynz to her Mother's house tomorrow? So she can get some things from home?"
"Oh, yes that's quite alright. I was going to ask you to take her anyway. So it is fine."
"Thanks," Dad said. To me he said, "Lynz, come sit by me. We can talk some more," he said motioning to follow him.
"Alright, but let's not sit by Professor Snape. I don't like him much. Can we sit by Professor McGonagall? She's one of my favorite teachers. Especially since I'm good at Transfiguration and I really like it," I said.
"Ok, we'll sit by professor McGonagall. Did you know that I had her for Transfiguration, too? It's hard for me to call her Minerva because she was my professor. I really liked Transfiguration and I was pretty good at it, too," he said as we walked over to where Professor McGonagall was sitting. "Hello Minerva. How are you today?"
"Hello, Remus. Hello, Lynz. Oh, it was a great day today. How did shopping go today?" she said.
"Oh, shopping was alright, but lunch was the best part," and he stopped there.
"what happened at lunch today that was so good?" she said with a look in her eye as though she already knew what it was.
When we sat down, Dad spilled, "Oh, I found out I had a daughter, that's all," he he said in a very calm voice.
"Congratulations, you two!" she said sounding very happy.
"How did you know I was his daughter?" I asked curiously.
"You caught me. I knew since you came to school here Lynz. You look so much like he did when he was here. And it also helped me when I noticed you were pretty much good at everything, just like Remus was. I asked Dumbledore and he told me my suspicions were right but, I couldn't tell you. You had to find out for yourself or until your 7th year, which ever came first. I'm sorry, I would have told you Remus, but I wasn't allowed to tell you either. I would have if I could have," she explained.
"Is that why you had me go with him to Diagon Alley today?"
"Yes, I wanted you two to find out without me telling you. So I set you up and hoped you would figure it out in your own. Oh, look, here's the food. Let's eat and talk later, I'm starving!"
At that we began stuffing our faces full of delicious food. And when I was full, I started talking.
"So, Dad, what were you best at when you were at Hogwarts?"
"I was best at Defense Against the Dark Arts or DADA as we called it. My friends said I would grow up and be a DADA professor. I must say, I never thought I would be, but here getting ready to teach it. One of my friends must have been psychic. They always said I would be a teacher, especially Sirius, "Remus, quit studying so much. You're going to end up being a teacher. You're already a prefect, isn't that bad enough? You'll be giving out detentions to kids like us, just tryin' to have fun. Don't do it, Remus!' If only he knew where he'd be about 10 years from then. He'd know that wasn't the worst thing that could happen."
"I just can't beliece Sirius turned to You - Know - Who and betrayed Lily and James like that. He was James' best friend and best man. I just don't believe it." Professor McGonagall said.
"What!? He's why Harry doesn't have any parents? Because his Dad's best friend ratted him out to Voldemort? Does Harry know this?" I said furiously. 'How could someone do that to their friends? I hate him! It's not fair to Harry! His life has been ruined and it was because one person ratted to Voldemort! One person! I hate him! He deserves to die!'
"Yes, yes, and no. You cannot tell anyone, especially not Harry. He doesn't need to know right now." Professor McGonagall said quickly. "Remus, did you here that Sirius escaped from Azkaban last week? Fudge told the muggle Prime Minister and everything! He's that dangerous. They're making Hogwarts keep dementors at the front gate at the start of term because he's supposedly after Harry. And you cannot tell Harry that either, Lynz. He'll find out eventually but not from you, ok?"
"Ok," I said disappointed that I only had one thing to tell Ginny when she got here. And nothing to tell Harry.
When I finished eating I asked Dad, "You ready to go now, Dad?"
"Yeah, let's go. You can admire your room some more," he said.
"Alright," I said with a small yawn. It had been a long day. Even if it was only dinner time.
10 minutes later we reached the Defense Against the Dark Arts class room and through the door to the living room. I sat down on the couch and he sat down next to me.
"So.," I said having no idea what to talk about.
"Uhhh. how do you like your room?" Dad asked.
"It's awesome! It's the kind of room I always wanted. My room at home was an ugly tan and I hated it! Purple has always been my favorite color. At home I have hundreds of DVDs and I'll bring some back with us when we go there tomorrow so you can see them. I have a tiny bookshelf at home that doesn't have enough room for all my books on it so I asked for a bigger one here and I'll bring a lot of them too. I'm rambling again! I have a question for you. How long will you be teaching at Hogwarts?" I said everything really fast but the last sentence which I said at normal speed. 'Man, I sure can talk when I want to! I et he barely understood a word I said. Oh, well at least the part he needed to hear was slower.' I thought.
"Well, I plan on teaching here as long as I can. Which may not be long if someone finds out I'm a werewolf and it spreads, I could be out of the job. Parents would throw a fit. I'm hoping it doesn't happen soon though because I probably couldn't get a job anywhere else. Dumbledore was just nice enough to trust me and give me a chance. I hope it was a good decision."
"It was. If he hadn't hired you I would still hate you. Now that I found you I can't hate you, because now I know why you were never around and can't blame you for it. It's not your fault, Mum probably would have dumped you straight away if you told her at the beginning that you were a wizard. Then I wouldn't be here and we wouldn't want that now would we?"
"Oh, no, we would never want that. Everybody just loves Lynz to pieces," he said in a sarcastic tone.
"Hey!" I said. "That hurts!" I said acting like he punched me in the stomach and then when he wasn't expecting it I threw a pillow at hom.
"Oh, you are so gonna get it now!" he yelled, "Pillow fight!" and he ran into his room and grabbed a couple of pillows to throw at me.
"Hey! No fair! Two against one!" I yelled as he threw both pillows at me.
This carried on for about a half an hour when Dumbledore knocked and no one answered so he walked in and got hit in the face with a pillow I threw. We just stopped and were still until Dumbledore said, "I suppose you two are having fun by yourselves. I was going to see if you would like to go to the Three Broomsticks for a bit of dessert, but if you'd rather not-"
"I wanna go! Please, Dad! Can we go? It'll be fun!"
"Alright. We can go. Are we walking, Albus?"
"Yes, it's the easiest way besides apparating. I'll meet you at the entry hall in 10 minutes, in case you need to get ready," he said as he looked at all the feathers around the room.
"Alright meet you there in 10."
"Cya, then Professor Dumbledore!" I said as I ran to my room to change clothes, because I was all sweaty from running around during the pillow fight. So I left on my blue jeans but changed into a purple shirt with glitter on it. I brushed my hair real quick and put on my new Adidas tennis shoes with purple stripes and met Dad there. "Ready?" I said. The room was feather free. Good I don't have to clean up!
"Ready. Let's go." And off we went to meet Dumbledore.
