Harry Potter and the Forgotten Friends

CHAPTER TWELVE: Parent/Teacher Night

While Harry was still stuck in his spider-filled cupboard he was pondering something that Aunt Petunia had shrieked at him before he was trapped in his cupboard.

* Flashback *

"You boy. How dare you bring those freaks like you over to this house!" She yelled. "Go to your cupboard. NOW!" She yelled, her face going red.

* End Flashback*

"Freaks like me? What do the Lupin's have to do with me? There normal people, they can't have anything to do with me or with what I can do. Whenever I get scared or angry things happen, they blow up or something equally as strange will happen." Harry half said to himself, and half to a spider crawling on the west wall.

He sighed, as he heard Uncle Vernon come home from work. The front door slammed shut. The kitchen door opened and Aunt Petunia came out and locked herself in Uncle Vernon's grasp. Harry shook his head, and crawled over to the door of the cupboard. It was locked, like always, but that was OK with him. He was trying to listen in on what his guardians were talking about. He could get much out of it, most of it was in an undertone, but some of the conversation was a little louder then they would have hoped.

"- Brought him home – My perfect freaky sister – her friends – they know the boy – even from the dead – she's trying – put magic on me – all her fault – her and the Potter – their coming – what are we going to do?" Petunia whispered to Vernon.

"Keep the boy here. Lupin, Mitchell, Black and Figg will get worried, and try to break him out. We'll call the cops on them, and the four will end up in jail for breaking and entering. That will be the end of this magic and his two freaky friends will be off to an orphanage. Now, what's for supper?" He asked.

"Anything you and Dudley-kin wish, honey," Petunia said in a sugary voice. "The boy will make it."

Vernon nodded and made his way into the kitchen, the door slamming behind him. Harry quickly scampered back from where he was. He sat down on a bunch of blankets he owned, grabbed something from the shelf behind him and pretended to be interested in it. The lock on the door clanged and it swung open. Petunia looked in at Harry with her nose held high.

"Come and make dinner." She snapped, slamming the cupboard door behind her.

Harry flinched as the door slammed shut and sighed. He got up from where he sat, opened the door and entered through the kitchen door. The Dursley's didn't even look up at him as he entered. Harry walked over to the cupboards and started to get out four plates and four cups.

"You boy. Make those potatoes and corn fast." Uncle Vernon snapped.

Harry placed the plates and cups onto the table and walked back over to the stove to watch the food. The food was soon ready, and Harry scooped it into the plates on the table as the Durlsey's started chowing down on the food. Harry sat quietly at the end of the table, slowly eating the food, looking at them. The Dursley's went on with their conversations and Harry was ignored. When they were done eating, Uncle Vernon glared down at Harry.

"You boy. We're leaving you here tonight, parent teacher night at your school. Seeing how Dudley's doing so well in school, while you're out goofing those two "friends" of yours." Vernon snapped.

Harry nodded, and went back to looking at his dinner.

"We have a lost of chores for you to do while we are gone. They all must be done when we come back. Or else your future doesn't look to good, boy. And you'll have no meals for a week." He snapped, his face going slightly purple.

"Come on Vernon, Dudley. Let's go. Here you go, boy." Petunia snapped, handing Harry the piece of paper and beckoning to the other two to follow her.

The door slammed behind Harry as Uncle Vernon closed it. Harry sighed and looked down at his list of chores. It had at least thirty things to do on that list. Clean the dishes, vacuum the living room, tend to the garden, etc, etc. Harry stuffed the list into his pocket and set off to work. He grabbed the dishes from the table and walked over to the sink and started to scrub the dishes.

"Riley! Come on, we have to get to that school of yours." Arabella called up the stairs.

Pounding was heard coming down the stairs and Riley appeared at the bottom of the stairs. "Alright, let's go." She muttered, pulling on her sandals.

Riley opened the front door, with Arabella right behind her. They quickly got into the car, as Sirius started the car up. The car ride was quiet and went by very fast. Soon enough they were in front of the school, trying to find a parking spot. Many of the spots were taken from the other parents' cars. They finally found one parking spot a ways away from the school door. The three got out of the car, locked it and started towards the schools' front door.

"Mum? Why couldn't I have stayed home? There's something I have to do!" Riley said, crossing her arms at her mother.

"You're nine years old Riley, there is no way we could allow you to stay home by yourself. And, what do you have to do?" She asked, raising an eyebrow, opening the school door.

"Um, nothing. I'll explain it later." Riley said, waving her mother off with her hand.

"OK…" Her parents said, looking oddly at her. They walked down the hall in silence, until a voice crashed through their thoughts.

"Arabella! Sirius! Wait up!" A voice called, from down the hall.

The two turned around to see a girl –or a woman- they couldn't tell, running at them. She had light brown hair flowing all over the place, with crystal-clear blue eyes behind it. She had a man and a young girl chatting behind her. The woman came to a stop in front of them, realizing that it was Viola, followed by Alexis and Remus.

"Viola! Hi." Arabella said, hugging her friend.

"Riley. We need to talk to you. And you too, Alexis." Viola snapped, looking at the sniggering child.

Alexis dropped the laughing and looked from Riley to her mother, and back again. "Mother! We have nothing to talk about. We're not friends, it's not wrecking anything and you can still be friends with her parents." Riley explained, vaguely pointing in Riley's direction.

"It's not about us, it's about Harry." Arabella said, rubbing her temples.

"Harry? What does he have to do with this? This is our disagreement and Harry's just well, there." Alexis explained.

"Harry's not only just there. He's your friend, both of yours. Don't you get it? It's Harry. He's getting 'torn' apart by this. You both want to be his friends and he is your friend, but you want him to pick between the both of you. He doesn't know what to do, except start to ignore you." Remus tried to explain.

The two girls were still silent staring at the floor. "Don't you see what your actions are doing, girls?" Viola said, staring the two girls down with her piercing blue eyes.

"Well… we… why didn't he tell us?" Riley asked, looking up from the ground.

The four adults looked over at her, while Alexis raised her gaze to meet Riley's. "Can I ask something? Why did we fight in the first place?"

The two children went into thought trying to remember what happened. The four adults laughed silently knowing what happened between the two.

"Riley? Alexis? Why don't you both just make up again? You don't remember what happened, so, forget about it and make up." Sirius said, looking at the two.

"I guess we can… Alexis?" Riley asked.

"Oh course." Alexis replied, making the 'peace' sign.

"OK now that that's settled, where's this class?" Arabella said from down the hall.

"You're right in front of it, mum!" Riley called down, pointing to the door.

Arabella turned to the right to see a dark brown door staring her in the face. She turned the doorknob and the door flung open. There was parents' milling around the room being dragged my children. There was no teacher in sight that she could tell of. The five others' soon appeared behind her, and they entered the classroom. No one really looked their way, like they did back in the seventies.

"Miss. Snape's over there. You just have to meet her, she's so nice!" Riley said, sarcastically.

"Yeah. She's the nicest…" Alexis trailed off, putting on a sugary sweet smile.

With that the two children grabbed hole of their parents' hands and walked them over to where Miss. Snape's desk was located. She was sitting there, talking to some parents' about their ruddy children. The woman had shiny, greasy hair that flared out; she had a tall figure and a 'low-down' look. She ironically wore the colours of both Gryffindor and Slytherin. The four adults looked at each other. This was Snape's twin sister? Looks like she could be, minus the Gryffindor colours!

The parents she was talking to nodded, stood, and followed a bouncy nine-year-old boy around the class. The four parents walked up to where Miss. Snape's desk was. Alexis and Riley took this time to split and took refuge on the other side of the classroom, watching their parents with beady eyes. They wondered what would happen when the teachers meet crazy parents.

The black haired teacher looked up, when she felt the presence of more of those pesky parents. She glanced up to see four adults standing there, chatting away with each other. As soon as looked at them she realized who they were, from their school time.

'Black, Lupin, Mitchell and Figg, at least they don't have Potter and Evans with them.' She thought.

"Hello, parents," She put on a fake smile. "You're son and/or daughter is great in our class. Which ones are yours?"

"Alexis Lupin and Riley Black." The two mothers replied.

Miss. Snape's face slightly darkened at the thought of those children, she then put on another fake smile. She waved to a couple chairs a bit away. Arabella and Viola grabbed the two moveable chairs while Sirius and Remus dragged a chair over from two of the desks. Miss. Snape looked at the files she had in front of her, looking for Black and Lupins' profiles. The four waited in silence, not really recognizing her until Sirius piped up.

"Hey," He said, dragging it out. "I know you. You're Sevvy Snape's sister!"

The woman glared at him, then at the others. "Well, well, well, if it isn't the Marauders and their girlfriends, or is it the wives yet? Mitchell, Lupin, Figg and Black. Where are Potter and Evans?" She drawled on.

The four people's eyes flashed dangerously.

"Come on, Kali… just let James and Lily rest in peace! They've been dead for eight years! So, drop it." Viola said, her voice getting darker as she talked.

Kali waved Viola's thoughts off. "Back to your retched daughters. They are complete menaces to this school with Potter. They are good for nothing children with good for nothing parents. They need to be shipped off to a private school where they can be monitored all the time to stop their trouble. Separate them and Potters' kid. Separate their parents too, for a matter of fact." She drawled.

"Well, then. We know what our children are up to. Kali, goodbye." Arabella said, standing up and walking over to where Alexis and Riley were.

The others followed behind her, without a second glance to the strict teacher. Alexis and Riley were sitting on the tops of their desks talking to a girl with brown hair to her elbows, with blue eyes hidden behind glasses. The two girls looked up as their parents appeared behind them.

"Hi Mom, Dad!" The two chorused, with beaming smiles.

"Hi guys. Is there anything you want to show us around your classroom?" Remus asked, looking at the two.

"Stop being the good one in the group…" Sirius trailed off, rolling his eyes.

"I guess…" Alexis broke into the fight of her dad and Riley's dad.

Her and Riley jumped off the desks they were sitting on and smiled.

"Well this is our desks," They then opened flap of the desk (does anyone know what I mean?) "This is the messy inside," They put the flaps back down. "That's the shelf, the blackboard, other desks, the teacher, and the other kids." The two said pointing around at everything in their sight.

The four parents quickly looked at everything their children were pointing to in a record speed. When they were done pointing at everything in sight, the two children we're beaming up at them.

"I think that they're on another one of their sugar rushes! Without the sugar though…" Arabella muttered to the other three.

"Come on Alexis. We better get you back home…"

"You to Riley."

The four grabbed their hands and started leading them out of the room. Viola and Arabella were walking down the halls, with Alexis and Riley's hand in their hands, talking about "girl things". As they like to call it. The guys were just about to leave the classroom as well, but Sirius decided to hang behind and bug Kali some more.

"Hey Kali. Tell our dear Sevvie that we miss him." Sirius said, stifling a laugh.

Kali glared over at him. "Get out of here, Black. I was always better then you at school and you know it. I'll curse you right here if I have too!" She drawled, causing some of the students and parents in the room to look from Sirius to Kali.

Sirius smiled mysteriously at her and disappeared out of the room. Kali glared at where he disappeared from the door. She then turned back to the parents that were surrounding her desk, wanting to know about their pesky kids.

The two of them walked out of the school, while Arabella and Viola were leaning against the trunk of Viola's car talking about things. Alexis and Riley were out of sight, but a tree behind the white car was shaking behind them.

The two women looked up at the guys as they appeared beside the car. They looked up and Arabella sighed as soon as she saw Sirius.

"What did you do? I see the glint in your eyes." She said, raising an eyebrow at him.

"I didn't do anything. All I did was tell her to tell our dear old Sevvie that we missed him." Sirius said, with a glint of mischief.

Arabella sighed and shook her head. "OK… You're never going to let it go, that Snape's sister is our kids teacher, right?"

"Right." He replied.

She sighed, rolling her eyes. She then turned back and looked at the shaking tree.

"Riley! Come on, we have to go home." She called to the tree.

The tree stopped shaking and the voices inside stopped. The tree shook again and Riley landed onto the ground with Alexis not that far behind her.

"Alright. Let's go… bye Alexis." Riley said.

She waved to her friend and disappeared with her parents down the parking lot. Alexis sighed and turned back to her parents. Her mother waved to her, to get in the car. Alexis nodded, and stepped down onto the parking lot and into the car.

That kept running through Harry's mind as he cleaned the house. Thoughts came to his mind, followed by others, as all these thoughts chased through his mind, he couldn't make a suitable answer for it. Harry just put the bucket and mop away in the closet after scrubbing the floor clean. He looked over at the clock, which read seven o'clock. The Dursely's probably wouldn't be home for another hour.

'Great. I'll have time to go over to Riley's house and tell them what's going to happen, and make it back here before the Dursley's come home.' Harry thought, as he walked out of the kitchen.

He walked down the hall is silence, his thoughts getting the better of him. He put his shoes on, followed by Dudley's hand-me-down worn out black coat and opened the front door. He was so busy trying to get the lock to work that he didn't see a black figure approaching the front door of number four Privet Drive. Harry finally got the lock to work and walked outside of the door, pulling the white door closed behind him. He turned around to walk down the small path, but crashed into something black and solid, he looked up to see something totally cloaked in the black in the dark of the night.

"AAHHH!!!" Harry yelled, falling backwards on the hem of his too-big pants and hitting his head on the closed door of number four, knocking him unconscious.

Q&A:

WeasleyTwinsLover1112: Hmm… will the Blacks and Lupin's be around when Harry gets his letter? *Singsong voice* I'll never tell…!

AllAboutMe: Oh, I would love you to be my beta! I'll send you chapter thirteen when I finish it.

Gypsy Malfoy: Yep, you were the only one to guess who the mysterious girl was, *hands Gypsy an award* That's for your foresight! Maybe, your letter's on the way! OK, so it's a Gargoyle, not a Griffin. Close enough…

Coconut-ice agent h/h: Can I ask what you mean? If you mean are Remus, Sirius, Arabella and Viola realise who Harry's living with, they all ready know. And the Dursley's know about who they are as well. So, they both know who each other are, only Harry is out in the dark.

Slytherin Witch: Thanks for telling me that my story is so good. What kind of trouble are they going to get into… ha! That's a lot, from what I'm thinking of writing. (I'm just writing it as I go along.)

A-man: You say nice!, a lot.

OK, I now that I don't usually say things about my other stories. But you guys should check out my newest story that might appear sometime in October. It's called Harry Potter and the Demon Five. It takes place in his fifth year when Voldemort is back to full power. He gets the help of ____ and with one spell he can change the course of history… Oh no!

I just have one question to ask you guys, because I have no idea. Was James is Slytherin or Gryffindor? My friend found some rumors about it; "We all relaize that Harry's father James was in Slytherin, right? Hagrid says that all wizards which went bad were in Slytherin. If this is true then Sirius Black was in Slytherin. The above quote was taken from someone who did not know that Sirius was not really a dark wizard. So, therefore Sirius must have been in Slytherin. Black is James Potter's best friend. I would expect that the best friends; which were always together, were in the same house. It seems that way. If they were always together they would pretty much have to be in the same classes. In order to be in the same class, they had to be in the same house. Therefore, if Black was in Slytherin, so was James. Harry then can't be related to Gryffindor because his mom was muggle born. Following this theory, Lupin and Pettigrew would have been in Slytherin. Pettigrew is definately Slytherin, adding more proof." OK, I think that James was in Gryffindor, the books seem to prove it…!
