One thing. The hesitation marks turn out like full stops! Can anyone tell me why?

This chapter is set a bit before Ron gets the letter from Percy.

Look, this is an Alternate Universe fic. And some of the characters are out of character. So don't say I didn't warn you.

September 17 1995

I was bored. Very bored. When the fireplace flickered (again), My sister stepped out of it.

"We need to have a talk, Dolores." She said smoothly, spreading out her skirt.

"A talk about what?" I asked, "A talk about how conceited you are? 'Cause that would be a wonderful talk!"

"Conceited, am I?" she said, in the same smooth voice, "Well I'm afraid, darling sister, that you're looking in a mirror."

"Well, at least I don't have sand in my brains! Did you know that glass is made out of sand?"

"I would never waste my time learning boring, Muggle facts.

"Yeah. Dating dark wizards unknown is such a valuable past time."

"Well.I haven't had a miscarriage yet."

"WHAT! You're pregnant?"

"Yes."

"Traitor."

"Remember the mirror, darling sister."

"Immature brat."

"Well, thank-you for avoiding the reason why I came here tonight." She said.

"Ok.so why did you come?"

"Because.I wanted to tell you about your new. position at Hogwarts."

"Evil biased brat and STILL the Minister of Magic?"

"Don't push it. Even the Minister of Magic has her limits."

"I won't."

"Your new job is to pretend to inspect the teachers. But there are some teachers I want you to get rid of." She said, handing me a list.

I opened the list.

Sybil Trewlawney.

Rubeus Hagrid

Minerva Mcgonnagal

Albus Dumbledore.

I said.

"And make SURE you get Dumbledore. Or else." She said, returning to the fireplace.

"Ow!" she exclaimed, when she entered the fireplace.

"What? Fire to hot for you?" I asked sweetly.

"Stuff it, I think I twisted my ankle."

"Do you want me to help?" I said rushing to her.

"OW! You made it worse!"

"Yeah. I meant help make it worse."

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, DOLORES?! YOU'VE WOKEN UP HALF THE RAVENCLAWS!" yelled the caretaker, Filch, as he entered the room.
