School… In The Muggle World

Chapter 2 – Elope Before the Guest Come

Disclaimer:  I only own Emily-Anne Crockford, Athena and Pandora Black, and Lori Clearwill (who is a girl) so far.  Everything else belongs to the very talented writer, J.K. Rowling and Warner Bro with the characters in the movie.

A/N:  Hope you like.  Please read and review.  Now on with the story.  This chapter's title has a double meaning.  Who ever guesses it gets a treat! (And I'll mention you in chapter 3.)

"Your Lily's son?" asked Emma.  Harry nodded his head.  "Oh, I can see it all now.  You look exactly like James, but you do have Lily's lovely eyes.  I suppose everyone tells you that though."

"Harry, what were you saying before you got off topic?" asked Remus.

"Sirius and Arabella are going to elope tonight, and they want the three of us there to witness it.  Oh, and Arabella has some other good news that she will want to tell you."

"What time?"

"I'm not sure.  I think they want you to come now.  Oh and you will have to floo cause Sirius put up the house in a not-apparating zone.  Well bye.  See you soon."  Harry disappeared from Remus' fireplace and fell on the living room floor.  "Sirius, Bella, I'm back."  Harry got up, dusted himself off, and walked into the kitchen hoping that Sirius and Arabella were still in there.

Harry looked at the table and found a note.

Dear Harry,

Please wait for Remus and Emily-Anne to come before coming to Diagon Alley for the wedding. Arabella and I are already there.

Sirius

'Great,' thought Harry.  He walked into the living room to wait for Remus and Emily-Anne.  Harry looked at the clock and saw that it was 7:00 pm. 'I guess they decided to elope in Diagon Alley.  Bella probably gets a special price.'

Harry heard a whizzing for the fireplace and stepped back, expecting Remus or Emily-Anne to appear from it.  Instead a teen-age girl came falling out.

Harry offered her a hand and helped her up.  "Who are you?" he asked.

The girl looked at Harry.  She was a shorter than Harry, standing around 5'5".  She has wavy golden hair with red streaks in it that was cut just below her jaw line.  Her hair kind of reminded Harry of the Gryffindor colours.  Her figure was fairly curvy which you could tell from her clothes, but would still develop more.  She had piercing grey eyes with an icy blue colour in them.  She had a rosy completion that made her look almost dollish.  "Hi, I'm Lori Clearwill.  Is this the Black/Potter house?" she questioned still holding Harry's hand.

"Yes it is.  Why are you here?"  Harry then remembered seeing her name on the list Dumbledore had sent them.  "Weren't you supposed to come tomorrow?" he asked.

"I was supposed to come tomorrow?"  The girl looked confused.  "My letter said to come August 15th at 7:00 pm which it is.  Here's my letter," she said taking out a piece of parchment from her pocket and handing it to Harry.

Harry looked at it and saw that she had read right.  "Don't worry about it.  I'm just waiting for two people before I head to Diagon Alley.  Will you come with us?"

"Sure.  You're Harry Potter, right?" she asked.

"Yeah, I'm Harry.  Have I seen you before?" he said looking her over (checking her out).

"Probably.  I'm in Gryffindor too.  I'm a friend of Ginny Weasley.  Is she coming?"

"Yes.  All the Weasleys who are in Hogwarts are coming."

"Ahem."  Harry looked to the fireplace to see Remus and Emily-Anne standing there, smiling.  "Harry, Miss Clearwill," said Remus.

"Hello Professor Lupin," said Lori.

"Lori, I am no longer your Professor so you can call me Mr. Lupin, or Remus, but not Remmie."  He glared at Emily-Anne who chose not to notice.  "Oh and this is Emily-Anne Crockford."  He pointed to Emily-Anne.

"Remus, how long have you be standing there?" asked Harry.

"Just long enough to see you check out Lori."  Lori blushed, Emily-Anne hit Remus, and Harry just grinned the lopsided grin at everyone which made Lori blush more.

"Come on.  We have to get to Diagon Alley," said Harry, while giving everyone a handful of floo powder.

Harry jumped into the fireplace, where a fire was roaring merrily, and shouted, "Diagon Alley."  Once he disappeared the others followed.

(August 16th, 10:30 am)

"That was… interesting," said Arabella.

"Tell me about it, Mrs. Black," said Sirius, hugging his wife while sitting on a couch in the living room with two black haired people, Remus, Emily-Anne, Harry, and Lori.

"Yeah.  Hey, Sirius, how come I haven't met your mother and sister before?" asked Harry.  Harry was talking about the two women who had turned up at the wedding (when they eloped) that were still there.

*Flashback*

"Does anyone here (A/N: don't know how weddings go so just flow with me) object to the marriage between these two people.  If so, speak now or forever hold your peace."

"Nobo…"

The doors opened to the cathedral.  Two women with black hair and black eyes stood there.

"I object," one said.  She than turned to Sirius.  "Sirius Orion Black!  How could you not invite your own mother to your wedding?"  She looked to the woman beside her.  "Or your sister for that matter?"

"Mother, can we discuss this later, not now?" asked Sirius, shrinking under his mother's glare.  His mother just kept glaring until, "Alright, alright!" exclaimed Sirius.  "I'm sorry that I didn't invite you, but we wanted a small wedding and we wanted it soon.  You would want to plan a big fancy wedding."

"Fine.  Minister," said Mrs. Black.  "You can continue."  She and Sirius' sister sat in the pews next to Remus, Emily-Anne, Harry, and Lori.

*End*

"Well… I'm not actually sure.  Let me do that now."  Sirius looked at his mother and sister.  "Harry James Potter, Lori Desiree Clearwill, this is Athena Jamie Black, my sister who remains unwed, and this is Pandora Dawn Black, my mother.  Mother, Athena, this is Harry James Potter, my godson, and Lori Desiree Clearwill, who will be here to go to muggle school this year."

(A/N: I'm not go with the dates of Harry Potter so… It is 1995, meaning that Harry was born in 1980 and went to live with the Dursleys in 1981.  Harry's parents and friends finished school in 1976, 4 years before Harry was born, making Sirius, Remus, Arabella, and Emily-Anne 35.)

"Really Sirius," said Athena has she hit him.  "I'm only 27.  I still have time to marry.  You are 35 and you just got married."

"That's because of complications.  I would have been married eleven years earlier if it weren't for this.  I would have been…"  Sirius did the math on his hands, "24."  Sirius didn't like to talk about Azkaban and everyone knew it.

"Sirius, you didn't visit us once you were free.  How come?" asked his mother.

"I was busy.  How did you find out about the wedding anyways?"

"I found a note written by you on the kitchen table that said you were getting married."

Arabella didn't like where this conversation was heading and said, "Well, Sirius and I have some good news."

Everyone looked at her.  She took a deep breath and squealed out, "I'm pregnant!"  Everyone except Harry and Sirius looked petrified with shock.

Remus shook himself out of this state and asked, "Harry is that what you were talking about when you came to get me and Emily-Anne?"

Harry smiled.  "Yea."

"Oh, the news gets better, but I haven't told anyone this yet!" exclaimed Arabella.  "I'm going to have triplets."

Everyone got over the shock (especially Sirius because he only thought it would be one child) and congratulated Arabella and Sirius.  (Lori included.)

Pandora was hyster0ical.  "I'm going to have grandchildren!  I'm going to be a grandmother!  Oh Sirius, I'm so happy for you.  Your father would be too!"  Pandora broke down into sobs and Athena and Sirius comforted her.

"Since this is good news time, I also have some good news," said Athena looking at everyone.  Athena's sweet smile was suddenly replaced with an evil grin, which no one noticed.   "I'm dating Severus Snape!"

Sirius started yelling at his sister.  Pandora started hyperventilating.  Arabella tried to clam Pandora while glaring at her sister-in-law. Remus and Emily-Anne also glared at their 'sister'.  Harry and Lori just sat there shocked because they didn't think that Snape could love.

Harry looked over at Athena and noticed the grin on her face.  He cleared his throat and everyone stopped.

Athena looked at everyone, than Harry, smiling at him and they both started laughing.  Everyone thought they had just gone crazy.  Actually Sirius already thought that his sister was crazy and her declaring to date Snape and the sudden laughter confirmed it.

"Oh, Sirius, you didn't really think that I'd date slimy, snaky, greasy, spoiled, Snape did you?  I thought that you had better sense than that of a penguin! (A/N: Not insulting penguins.  This is for Abrasion Girl and Nev Stardust.)  For a jokester, you have no sense of humor."

Sirius glared at his sister, along with their mother and the other adults.  Harry just laughed, and Lori asked, "If that wasn't your good," here she shuttered, "News, than what is it?"

"Well, you know the muggle school that you are going to this year?"  Lori and Harry nodded.  "Dumbledore knew that I was a teacher in the muggle world, since they give the teachers more privileges, and asked that I teach there with McGonagall and Snape," Harry and Lori looked shocked because they thought that only McGonagall would be there.  "Because all the people who will be there get into trouble often."

"What will you all teach in the muggle and magic courses?" asked Harry.

"Snape will teach chemistry and potions, obviously, I will teach English and charms, and McGonagall will teach history and Transfiguration.  You will each pick one of the other magical courses available.  They are in groups of three so that you are only taking 4 magical courses.  Defense Against the Dark Arts/ Animagi/ Magical Healing and Medicine, Astronomy/Care for Magical Creatures/ History of Magic, or Divination/Arithmacy/ Herbology."

"How will we go to all these classes?" asked Harry.

"You will have six classes a day.  You will have your magical courses one day.  For the other two periods you will have muggle courses.  On the other day you will have all muggle courses, such as: Math, English, History, Geography, Biology, Chemistry, Gym, Art, Music, Drama, Law, etc…  You will all pick your courses which you will do when everyone comes.  Speaking of people coming," Athena looked from the clock to the fire place which started to glow and change to the colour green.  "It looks like someone's here."

Ginny Weasley fell out of the fireplace and onto the rug.  Her trunk came shooting out behind her and landed a foot away from her.  Ginny got up and dusted herself off.  She than looked around the room and spotted Lori.  "Lori!" she squealed.

Ginny Weasley was 5'4" and had bright red hair that fell to mid-back.  Her porcelain skin had black smudges on it.  Her pale blue eyes held an excited look to them.  She was fairly slim and had filled out since the end of the last school year.

Lori got up and hugged Ginny.  "Hi Ginny.  I'm so glad you are here.  I thought I would be the only fourth year coming."

All the Weasley boys looked the same, except their height and build.  The twins were 5'9", and Ron was 6'0".  They all had flaming red hair and pale blue eyes.  The twins were well built from being beaters on the Gryffindor house team, while Ron was still lanky.

Hermione Granger, Harry and Ron's other best friend, had silky brown curls reaching mid-back, which she had learned to tame over the summer.  Her brown eyes were shinning against her tanned skin.  She stood at 5'6", slim, and had the figure of a model.

Dean Thomas, who arrived after Hermione, was black skinned, had brown haired that was in dreadlocks, and brown eyes.  He was 5'6" and wasn't well built.

Alicia Spinnet, Angelina Johnson, and Katie Belle arrived next.  They were the three chasers on the Gryffindor house team.  (A/N: the book doesn't give a good description of the characters.)  Alicia was 5'4", the shortest of the three.  She had wavy, blonde hair, pale skin, and blue eyes.  Angelina was 5'7", the tallest of the group with light brown skin, curly, brown hair, and dark, blue eyes.  Katie was 5'5", had straight brown hair that reached her waist, large blacks eyes, and a rosy complexion.

Pansy Parkinson, who popped out of the fireplace, next, was a pug-faced, pale girl with brown curls that reached her shoulders.  She was fairly built and was wearing too much make-up so you couldn't tell what was real and what was fake.

Lee Jordan, the second last to appear from the fireplace, was lanky, around 5'8", had dark brown skin, raven, black eyes, and his black hair in dreadlocks.

Between the time that Ginny appeared on the floor and 11:59 am, everyone but one person had arrived.

"Ok, we have everyone, except…"  Sirius looked up from the sheet of parchment he was holding in his hand to the fire place, which had started to glow and turned green again.

Draco Malfoy stepped gracefully (a little too gracefully (in Harry's opinion)) out of the fire place.

At 5'10", Draco Malfoy was fairly tall for his fifteen years.  He was fairly well built, but less so than Harry.  His pale, silvery hair was plastered to his head in which his silvery eyes were placed (A/N: we hope.).

"Malfoy!" Harry finished for Sirius by spitting out the name.

"Potter!" said Draco in a disgusted tone.

"Oh Draky!" cried Pansy Parkinson.

Draco cringed.  'I got stuck with the one Slytherin I hate and the rest are Gryffindors.  Why?' thought Draco.

Pansy ran up to Draco and threw her arms around him.  "Oh Draco.  It's so good to see you.  I thought that I would be stuck with the goody-two-shoe Gryffindors for the whole year!" she cried while strangling Draco.

The adults scowled.  "Everyone, sit down," said Arabella.

"Who are you to boss us around?" asked Pansy.

Harry and Lori looked at Arabella.  "Ms Parkinson!" she barked.  "You will obey me while in my house!  Is that understood?  Everyone?"  Everyone nodded their head.  "NOW SIT!"

"Here is what will happen…  I will introduce myself, than everyone else will introduce themselves in an orderly fashion.  We will than go over school, shopping, rules, the house, and where you sleep."  All the students who had arrived that morning (not Lori or Harry) looked scared.  "I am Arabella Black.  I am Harry's godmother and this is my house for now."  She pointed to Sirius.  "This is Harry's godfather, Sirius Black, my husband.  And this, as you all know," she said pointing to Remus, "is Remus Lupin."

Dean started.  "Dean Thomas."

"Hermione Granger."

"Ron Weasley."

"Fred Weasl…"

"You're George!" exclaimed Ginny.

"Say your proper name," said Arabella.

"George Weasley."

"Fred Weasley."

"Ginny Weasley."

"Alicia Spinnet."

"Angelina Johnson."

"Katie Belle."

"Lee Jordan."

"Draco Malfoy," grunted Draco.

"Pansy Parkinson," squealed Pansy.

Lori pretended to vomit.  "Lori Clearwill," said Lori, mimicking Pansy.

Pansy looked at her and said, "Lori, when your older, your voice will change into something less like a banshee."

Everyone except Draco and Pansy laughed at this.

Everyone looked at Athena and Pandora.  "I am Pandora Black.  Sirius' mother."

"I'm Ms. Black, Sirius' sister.  I will be teaching you this year at the muggle school, therefore my first name is of no importance to you.  I am here today to explain how your school year will go.

"Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall will also be there.  You are not to address them with Professor, but by Mr. Snape, and Ms. McGonagall.

"Snape will teach chemistry and potions, obviously, I will teach English and charms, and McGonagall will teach history and Transfiguration.  You will each pick one of the other magical courses available.  They are in groups of three so that you are only taking 4 magical courses.  Defense Against the Dark Arts/ Animagi/ Magical Healing and Medicine, Astronomy/Care for Magical Creatures/ History of Magic, or Divination/Arithmacy/ Herbology.

"You will have six classes a day.  You will have your magical courses one day.  For the other two periods you will have muggle courses.  On the other day you will have all muggle courses, such as: Math, English, History, Geography, Biology, Chemistry, Gym, Art, Music, Drama, Law, etc…  You will all pick your courses now.  Each sheet says if your grade can take the class."

She handed each a sheet that said:

Athena went around and collected all of the sheets and left the house with her mother.

"Next is shopping.  Does everyone have muggle money?" asked Arabella.  Everyone nodded.  "Does everyone have all the muggle clothes they will need, even for cold and hot weather?"  Everyone nodded again.  "Does everyone have all of their school books and supplies?"  Once again everyone nodded.

"Rules: No going into rooms where people of the other sex sleep. 

"No harmful magic.  If you want to duel call me or Sirius to judge so that no one gets seriously hurt.  Even if it is a midnight duel."  Here Arabella looked at Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Draco. 

"You will be in your wing of the house by 11:00 pm Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights.  On Friday, Saturday, and holiday nights, you don't have to been in your wing until 1:00 am.  If you want to stay out later, ask.  If you are out of your wing, and that counts the house, you will be magically grounded for the length of time that is seen fit. 

"If you get into trouble at school, you will be punished here, by doing extra chores, grounded, etc… 

"Everyone will pitch in with clean up.

"You are to respect each other, other people's things, muggles, and this house with its items.

"If you want to get somewhere, you have to find the way to get there by your selves.

"No sports or broomstick flying in the house.  For sports and quidditch, go outside to the quidditch pitch or the field.

"If you are going to swim in the pool, please tell someone.

"You are expected to make your own breakfast in the morning and if you don't want cafeteria food, or don't want to go out for lunch, you have to make your own lunch if you want one.

"Dinner will be served when it is ready.  If you are not present for dinner, than you can make your own later or have leftovers if there are.

"You are responsible for getting yourself up every morning.  There are alarm clocks in each room, except when I feel generous enough to wake you all up over the intercom system.

"You are responsible for your room because you have to live in it so keep it clean.

"Laundry will be done by the house elves.  Since there are only two, they will not do as you ask, except laundry on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.  If you need something done, do it your self.

"The house elves only take orders from Sirius, me, and Harry because this is our home.

"Each room has one phone in it for each occupant.  Each phone has its own line.  You can take the phones around the house.

"If you are going to have someone over, ask.

"If you are going out or making plans, ask."

Arabella looked around the room at the teenagers who all had listened with attention.  The only person asleep was Sirius.  She walked over to him and whispered something in his ear that woke him up.

"Bella, that's mean!" he said with a pout.

"First, don't call me Bella, and second, you shouldn't have fallen asleep."  She faced the teenagers again.  "Two other things.  Only call me Arabella or you will be in trouble, call Sirius, well, Sirius (A/N: but don't take him Siriusly), and I am pregnant.  I am just warning you all now."

Arabella pulled out her wand and waved in towards the area where the trunks were placed and banished them up stairs.  "Up.  I will give you all a tour of the house now."

Everyone stood up.  "It is the living room.  Across the hall is the dinning room where you eat."  She walked out into the hall and pointed to the door to the left of the dinning room, closer to the stairs.  "This is the kitchen where you make your breakfast and lunch.  If you chose to come home for lunch, please call first and tell me and if people are coming with you tell me, or tell me that morning.  In the kitchen, there is a little door that leads to where the house elves sleep.  They sort the laundry per room, so you have to organize whose clothes are who's in your room.  This is the sitting room," said Arabella pointing to the room on the right of the living room.  She then pointed to a set of glass doors down the hall.  "These doors lead to the backyard.  If you have muggles over, there will be the quidditch pitch as a soccer field and the broom shed as a tool shed, which you shouldn't enter with muggles.  To get to the garage you must open it from in the house and then go out through the front door.  This is the powder room."  She pointed to the point towards the front of the house.

Arabella started up the stairs.  "The room to the left is mine and Sirius'.  Don't enter it.  EVER!  Unless it is an emergency.  It you do wish to talk to us and we are in there, knock."  She pointed to the room in front of her.  "This is Harry's room.  No one is sharing a room with Harry.  The rooms on the right and left of the stairs are the guest rooms."  She continued down the hall to her right and opened a door.  She walked into the room, followed by everyone else.

"This is your rec. room.  Here you can watch TV, listen to music, play games, etc…"  She pointed to her right.  "That room is for studying quietly, reading quietly, and doing homework quietly.  The room is like a library and it is filled with books to help you with both your magic and muggle studies.  You can do quiet group projects in that room, while noisy group projects will be worked on in the rec. room."  Arabella pointed to a door to her left.  "This door leads into Harry's room.  You can also get to Harry's room from the last door in the boys' hallway.  Every room has its own bathroom."  She started up some stairs that were centered against the far wall.  "To the left, the boys sleep.  To the right the girls sleep.  Lori, Ginny, you are both sharing the room closed to this door."  She pointed to the door that entered the girls' hallway.  "Your rooms have your names on the doors.  Hermione and Pansy, you are sharing the farthest room.  Angelina, Katie, and Alicia, you three are sharing the middle room, which is the biggest of the three.  Fred, George, and Lee, you are all sharing the second room in the boys' area.  Ron, Dean, and Draco, you are sharing the room closest to this door."  She pointed to the door leading to the boys' hallway.  "Your trunks are waiting for you.  I suggest you unpack.  Tomorrow at 10:30 am, I will go over what things are and if you have any questions.  Please look over your things tonight.  Lunch will be ready at 1:30."  With that Arabella left the room.

Ron, Hermione, Dean, and Harry walked down the stairs, followed by everyone else.

"Great.  This is just great!  Me and Dean have to share a room with Malfoy!" said Ron falling back into one of the blue armchairs in the rec. room.

"I have to share a room with Parkinson!" said Hermione from the chair to the left of Ron.

Dean sat on the armchair to the left of Ron, while Harry sat on the couch by Hermione.

"Ron, you can always come to my room 'til you want to sleep and hang out with me," said Harry.  Hermione glared at him.  "Or we could hang out in this room 'til you both want to go to bed."

Hermione smiled.  Ron sighed.  "I guess."
