Lesson three: Don't try to outcrazy a crazy guy
----------------------------------------------------------
Kari woke up in a place that was very unfamiliar to her. She started to panic, but then she saw HIM standing next to the bed. And because she saw HIM standing there, she remembered the wonderful conversation they had. She did not like it one bit.
"Please tell me you're really a Santa-wannabe that smoked a bit too much weed?"
She did not mean to make that sound like she was whining.
"I'm afraid not, my dear." Albus told her. She swore to herself that she would get that annoying twinkle out of his eyes one way or another. It was irritating! To be honest, that maddening twinkle made het want to scream.But instead she settles with an eyetwitch. Hold on! She remembered something!
"You still haven't told me my parents' name!" She accused.
"Ah yes, you are right. Their names were Eric Dumbledore and Rose Evans."
"Doesn't ring a bell. Nope, not at all." She couldn't believe her mother was named Rose. She found it a disgustingly sweet name. Ick! "So, do have some other family I don't know of? Not that I really believe you are my grandfather. . ." She said those same words yet again, but this time they sounded less convincing, even to her.
"As a matter of fact, there are some living relatives from your mother's side. An uncle, Vernon, an aunt called Petunia, your mothers' sister might I add, and two nephews (Is that correct?), Dudley and Harry Potter. Harry is the son of another sister, Lily, but I'm afraid she already has passed away.
Kari could only blink. That was packed with a whole lot of information. Like the fact that he didn't bother to give the last names of her uncle and aunt and their son, but did mention it with Harry. Did he not like Vernon and Petunia? It sure was a possibility.
She suddenly felt antsy to move, so she threw away the bedsheats and positioned herself on her two very functional feet. "Tell me a bit about Harry. Does he go to school here? How old is he? Misschief much?"
Albus smiled. "Harry is a good boy. He will start this term in sixth year. He might be a bit sad if you meet him. He recently lost his Godfather."
"I'm sorry to hear that." Kari mumbled. Death in the family was never fun. Especially if you really liked said family. "Do I have a Godfather too?" She suddenly asked.
"Yes you do."
Kari waited a few seconds, but it seemed that a name was not forthcoming. She was annoyed. "You know, a name would be nice!"
"Excuse me, dear. I did not realise you wanted a name. Willow."
"Huh? Is that my Godfather's name?"
"No, that is the name your parents gave you when you were born."
"They called me Willow? ! What is it with those freaky flowery names? And no way in hell am I called Willow! Nuh-uh, not me! Kari is just fine and dandy! Besides, I want to know my Godfather's name, infuriating old. . . man!"
Albus merely chuckled at her antics. "You should have just said so, dear."
"And stop calling me deer! I'm not an animal!"
This managed to make Albus blink before he responded. "Not deer, dear!"
"Whatever, it still sounds like deer. Even so, I don't go around calling you dollface, now do I? Or perhaps I should just name you 'Ancient'!"
"If you feel the need to call me dollface, then please do. I find it to be quite a compliment!"
Kari felt like smashing her head against something hard, like perhaps a brick wall. She couldn't take this crazyness anymore.
"You still haven't told me my Godfather's name!" She roared. "But then again, never mind! I. Am. Not. Staying. In. This. Madhouse!" That being said she took of. But no sooner was she out the door (the only one she spotted), she bumped into someone. It was Severus Snape.
"Please save me from the crazyness of that fossile!"
Severus arched his eyebrow delicately. "That. . . fossile?"
"Dumbledore!" She franticly replied. Then she got indignant. "Well? Are you going to save me or not!"
Snape smirked. "I do not see why I should help you, after all you seem quite to be quite capable of taking care of yourself."
Kari rolled her eyes. Great. So he wasn't going to help.
"Thanks a bunch for nothin'!" She took of. She thought she had heard the door open and did not want to face the madness that is lovingly called grandpa by her. Or dollface. Or fossile. So she ran. She somehow found her way outside. She stood still for a moment to decide which direction she would go. The lake was out of the question. Perhaps. . . ? Yes, she would go into the forest. Less likely to be found that way.
***************************
Albus came out of the infirmary, eyes twinkling like mad.
"Severus, have you seen Kari by any chance?"
"Yes, Albus. She was almost begging me to save her from you."
Albus chuckled. Again. "I wonder why?"
Severus could not contain a snort. "It had something to do with your crazyness."
"Yes, well. Where did she go to?"
"I believe I saw her go outside."
The twinkle in Albus' eyes died quickly. "Severus! The Forbidden Forest! She doesn't know what danger it poses!"
"Sweet Merlin. . ." Was all Severus said before running outside.
