Part 9-
"I heard she hung herself when the Ministry officials threatened to take her away." Said Regina Adams holding a copy of the Daily Prophet in her fist. The headline read 'Minister Potter's Missing Daughter' and included a story on her dissapperance. This article renewed Brody's destest of the press because the majority of the article was heresay, lies, untruths and assumptions.
"No, she was having an affair with Snape and they had to keep it quiet so they killed her." Courtney Finch-Fletchly nodded vehemently at her own comment. At the tail end of that comment, Brody and Louie came into Career Decisions.
"You do know she nicknamed Snape 'Ol One Eye'?" Brody asked and snatched the paper away. At their blank stares and embarrassed expressions Brody shook her head and walked away. "Stupid Hufflepuffs."
"Bro-Dawg! I don't think Joel would appreciate that." Louie said and they walked to their seats.
"Joel can kiss my white ass." Brody said plainly and looked down at the paper. "When we get back to the dorm, I'm burning this." Megan's face looked back up at them grinning and repeatedly shoving her finger in her nose. Brody sighed and put the paper away as Professor Creevy walked into the room. Professor Creevy smiled and looked at the students.
"I know we're all mourning Megan Potter's dissappearence..." She began.
"Death." Regina coughed.
"Fuck you!" Brody shouted at her. Louie grabbed her wrist and told her to calm down.
"Thank you, Mr. Malfoy." Professor Creevy said with a timid smile. 'Never thought I'd say that!' She thought to herself. "But life goes on and there are so many people out there looking for her that there is enough time for us to get back to life as usual."
"When did life become unusual? She disappeared two days ago and yesterday was Sunday." Louie thought outloud.
"Professor?" Inquired an unusually sad sounding voice from Cliffe's side of the room. He pulled his hand down at his side and looked down at his desk meaningfully.
"What is it, Radcliffe?" Creevy asked sympathetically.
"I, I, I really feel like I'm too saddened by Megan's dissappearence to continue with daily life. Could I go back up to my dorm and just, you know, think about what might be wrong with her." Louie growled at Cliffe and Brody could feel her face burning with anger.
"How dare he exploit our friend like that!" Brody whispered angrily to Louie who was wondering the same things.
"Yeah, Professor Creevy, I am really mourning this." Denise concured with her boyfriend and huddled against him.
"The only thing you're mourning is your father's lack of a job." Louie said. She breathed heavily and put her head down on the desk, defeated.
"Well, that was rather, Malfoy-ish of you." Brody said and smacked his arm.
"What can I say?" He replyed and turned back to Professor Creevy. She continued her speech about Megan with whispers in the background. Brody heard Regina and Courtney talking behind her head and she listened closely.
"I bet that Megan called Snape One eye as a code word." Courtney said and pretending to be hard at work doing an assigment for Charms.
"What would it be code for?" Regina asked.
"Maybe Snape only has one testicle." She whispered. Brody turned around to them and gawked.
"WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT PROFESSOR SNAPE'S TESTICLES?" She shouted. The room went silent as confused and disgusted glances were shot their way. The girls stammered excuses for what they were discussing but the class just went back to Professor Creevy who picked up her soliloquy right where she had left off.
"Is it OK that I hate every person in this room besides you?" Brody asked and turned to Louie. He avoided her face and began copying the words from the board.
"You've never worried if it was OK before."

Megan came out of the bathroom with her toothbrush dangling out of her mouth. Her hair was slicked down and her clothes were chosen specifically. All in all, she spent about forty-five minuetes getting ready. When she walked past Reumus he clicked his pocket watch.
"Forty-seven minuetes." He declared. She kept walking towards the window and spat out it down to the grass. She turned around to him and pulled herself up on the window sill.
"What's forty-seven minuetes?" She asked.
"How much time you spent in there while we were the ones needing to get ready." He huffed. Megan looked around at the other boys and Reumus was the only one still in his pajamas.
"Why didn't you just get dressed out here?" She asked.
"Remus is a weenie and won't get naked." Sirius said and rolled his eyes.
"AH!" She wailed and covered her ears and closed her eyes.
"What?" James asked and grabbed her wrist.
"Naked is bad." She answered. "Very bad!"
"But underneath your clothes you're a nudist." Darryl replyed.
"AH!" She wailed more and pulled her knees up to her chin.
"So, why did you take so long in the bathroom?" Sirius asked.
"I was making my hair beautimus." She said and stopped wailing, running her flat hands down the length of her hair.
"Yeah, it takes me a long time to get my afro this big." David said and patted the outer parts of this hair. Megan gave him a confused look, as did everyone else (except Reumus, he was making a mad dash to get ready in the bathroom).
"What afro?" Megan asked.
"You don't have an afro." Darryl said and patted the rim of his own head.
"Yes I do!" David declared. "I started growing it when I was in the scouts." He said and continued patting his hair.
"Oh yeah! That's when I was learning how to French Braid. I remember now." Darryl remembered. "Do you know how to pleie?" He asked Megan. She held her fingers up to her face and giggled.
"All the girls in my old ballet class could pleie?" He said and began bending and prancing through the room.
"He cannont possibly be serious." She said and leaned down to James' head.
"Unfortunatly." He said and shook his head. Reumus came out of the room in a hurry and motioned for them to come. They all headed to the door but Megan called them back.
"Hey wait! What am I supposed to do all day?" She asked. Reumus and Peter looked at the floor and then at the beds and then back at Megan.
"You could possibly find something to amuse yourself with." Peter said and turned to the door. They left and James waved goodbye to her. As they walked out the door, Darryl bent to the side because his 'fro is to big to fit throught he door'.
She sighed and looked down at the floor.
"Vomit." She exclaimed and began clearing a spot on the floor.
It was time to clean up. She sifted through mounds of clohthes, books, papers, pictures and other properties of the boys. By lunch time the front half of the room (where Sirius, Reumus, and David slept) was clean. As she moved on to the next bed she picked up a stack of parchment. The papers were from classes, so Megan sat them on the top of the bed. She decided she was hungry and picked up her bag from the top of that bed. She sat up on the bed and started looking through the papers. One page was entirly doodles. She was reading the name 'Lily' that covered the page over and over again. She grinned as she saw that James' name was also on there. She assumed it was his papers then. Megan sat the doodle page down and underneath it was a letter James had written to this Lily person. It went like this:
'Lily,
Hi! How are you? I'm fine, but I have a few things that I'd like to say. First of all, I think that the way you stood up for Tonya Levvins was really nice. I think it's so mean that people make fun of her for being a Muggle-born. She's a great girl and Sirius seems to like her a lot. Secondly, I was wondering if you heard who got chosen for the Triwizard Tournament from Hogwarts. Harry Danials. I couldn't believe it! Well, actually, I can. He's such an athletic, brave guy. He'll make a great Champion for Hogwarts. Ok, and the last thing I have to say is kinda hard to say. Or ask, rather. Lily, if you don't have a date already, would you go with me to the Yule Ball? I'd really like you to. I think you're really pretty, and nice and smart and you have all of the qualities I'd like to see in a girl. And when I say pretty, I don't mean that's a big deal quality in a girl but that you just happen to possess this quality to a very distinct degree. Oh gee, I'm rambling now. So, anyway, would you? You don't have to answer now, but sometime. Thanks a lot.
Sincerly,
James Potter.'
Megan finished reading the letter with a smile. She went back and read it again and saw how heartfelt it was. James had really storng feelings for Lily. She looked back at the doodling page and chuckled.
"I wonder why he didn't write 'Lily Potter' all over everything." At that exact moment it struck her. Something she hadn't figured out. "James Potter? Lily Potter? They're my grandparents! Oh my God!" She fell back on the pillow and shook her head.
"I, I just can't believe it, oh my God!" She repeated. Sirius came into the room as she layed back marveling at the information she had just grasped.
"Hiya." He said. Megan turned to the door and looked at him closely.
"Oh, Lord!" She said and pinched her arm. "You're Sirius!" She said and bit her finger. "And that means..." She figued out who Peter and Reumus were too. "The Maureders." She said he came over to her and stopped at the mentioning of their group name.
"How'd you know we were called the Maureders. And why is the room so clean?" Megan called him to sit down on the bed.
"Ok, I know you don't believe that I'm from the future." She said. "But I can prove it." She looked at him. He waited for her to continue. "Woo, ok, Reumus is a werewolf, you, James and Peter are Animagi, you have the Maureder's Map, and James has an invisibility cloak." Sirius listened, stunned.
"How?"
"Because I'm from the future!" She said, exasperated.
"So, is the Maureder's Map well known in the future?"
"No, but...ugh! James is my grandfather and I'm really worried."
"Wow." He said grasping the situation. Megan felt the look he was giving her and looked up at him.
"This is a big secret, Sirius, if I tell anyone anything else, I could kinda, explode the equilibrium of time!" She said and held his fists. Sirius nodded and smiled.
"So, who do I marry?"
