Chapter 11: I'm A Professor?
Professor Lupin was wandering around the attic of the Black house. It was dark and moist. Kreacher obviously hadn't cleaned it in years. There were cobwebs and spiders hanging from the rafters and Lupin swore he saw a mouse run by. He crossed over to a box marked Hogwarts. Lupin's dreams had been driving him up a wall lately, tonight especially. He had had two dreams in one night before, but tonight Lupin couldn't bring himself to fall back asleep.
Lupin opened the Hogwarts box. The first thing that caught his eye was a photo album. He laid it off to the side to look at later. There were also Sirius' robes, a Gryffindor House scarf, his O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. exams, and an exact replica of the Marauders Map. Lupin picked it up and stared at it. He smiled. He sat down on the ground and picked up the photo album. The very first picture was of Sirius, James, Peter, and himself. They smiled and waved up at him. Lupin sighed and flipped through. There were pictures of Hogwarts and Hogsmeade and a picture of Dumbledore, which looked no different from the way he looked today. Lupin closed the book for a moment and pulled out a wand from his robe. It was Sirius' old wand. Lupin had been keeping it since his death and decided it was best to put it in this box with his other things. That was when everything went dark.
Harry walked into the kitchen but no one was there. He walked to the refrigerator for a glass of cold pumpkin juice. He poured the liquid into a glass and walked toward the door when he heard a hiccup. He stopped and looked around the room. "Shhh. haha," someone giggled. Hiccup. Harry set the glass on the counter and walked around the table, behind the counter where Hermione and Ron sat on the floor holding their hands over their mouths. Hermione burst out laughing. "Harry! What a surprise!" Hermione looked up at Harry then over at Ron. Ron was pulling up his pants and Hermione laughed again. Harry averted his eyes laughing. "Well Harry. Ron and I made up," Hermione giggled. "I guess so. well Ron. I think I'm finally going to bed," Harry shook his head, smiling, and turned around. WHAM!
Fred woke up and looked over to see Ginny and George still sleeping. He yawned and noticed the room spinning. He looked around the room wide eyed and sat up. His head hurt something dreadful. He looked over and Ginny and George again but they were gone. He looked up at the ceiling and bludgers were falling from toward him. He put his hands over his head and jumped from the bed. His gaze took him to the full-length mirror on the back of the door. Hermione was in it and she was making out with Ron furiously. Fred stared at the mirror. This is going way too far, he thought, we were just friends! The ground started spinning and Fred fell to the ground. He was on all fours waiting for the room to stop moving and he crawled over to the door. Candy flew at him from under the door. He ducked and noticed they were different candies from his and George's new store. Fred screamed and stood up. He pulled open the door and ran out through the hallway until he ran, face first, into someone's arm stretched out at full-length.
Lucius Malfoy closed the bedroom door behind Draco. "What in the world were you thinking?" hissed Lucius glancing quickly at the large figure of Hagrid, still sleeping. "Dad, you came in at the wrong time that's all. It's exactly the opposite of what you are thinking," Draco ran a hand through his white-blond hair. Actually, he thought, there were other times that his father could have walked in on that would have been 100 times worse. Lucius glared at his son. "I just don't know what to do with you," Lucius sighed, still upset and confused with the situation. Something on his belt beeped. "Ah, never mind then." Draco looked up at his dad. Lucius took Draco by the arm and lead him out of the room.
Lupin woke up dazed. His eyes were blurry and there was drool dripping onto his chin. He spazed and sat up, noticing he was tied to a chair and the light was dim. His head ached in the back like he had been hit with something. Lupin looked ahead of him and saw four kids knocked out and tied to a bench. Two of them had the reddest hair on a person he had ever seen. Wait a minute. He knew those kids. BANG! Lupin looked over to his right and saw a teenager with white-blond hair, tied to a chair. He was using all his weight to pull himself and the chair up and crashing back down to the ground. He looked as if he was trying to get loose. The kid noticed Lupin was conscious. "Hey! Professor! You're awake!" The blond kid was talking. I'm a professor, he thought.
