Notes:  Meggie is not a Mary Sue…that'd make me sick. 

Becky, you wanted to know what an MST was?  MST stands for Mystery Science Theater.  There are mainly three types of MST's.  The more popular one is taking characters from the books, sticking them together in one room (or holding them hostage) and making them read bad fics.  These bad fics consist of horrible spelling and grammer, and situations they would not ever be in.  (Example:  Wonc upin a tim their wuz a boy.)  The second one is the original MST.  This is when characters from the book get a hold of the book, begin reading it, and start making comments.  The third is when you, the reader/writer, begin making comments.  I hope this helped!

"Well," said Sirius, "how about floo powder?"

"How about I…" started Snape.

     "I agree, Sirius," said Harry.  "Definitely floo powder."  (A/N:  Note, Snape is still in his underwear).  "You know, since I don't think Meggie can apparate, because that would be under age, and all that."  Snape was now fuming at him.  "So…uh, where's the nearest wizarding store?"
     "Right down the street," said Meggie.  Mental note, thought Meggie, find out who Minne is so I can total embarrass this man. Snape, still in his underwear, (clueless I tell you) marched down the street, wondering why most people were staring.

     "Potter, when we get back we will bring this matter up with Dumbledore," he said.  "Now hurry up, I don't have all night!  I have 5th years in the morning!"

     "Again?" groaned Harry.  Meggie hurried behind the three boys (I was tempted to put toddlers), quickly catching up with Harry.

     "So…ummm, Harry, what does Professor Snape teach?"

     "Potions.  One of the worst classes, only beaten by Divination, where I get my death predicted."

     "Oh…drat, I signed up for Divination.  Well, is the teacher clueless?"

     "Well, I'd say so, cause I haven't died yet."

     "HURRY UP YOU TWO!!!!!" yelled Snape.

     "Yeah," said Sirius, "wait till you get to school to flirt!"  All of a sudden a sign appeared on Sirius' back.  It said Proud carrier of fleas, in Neo-green.  Then, on his butt, it said, Insert foot here

     "How'd you do that?" asked Meggie. 

     "Do what?" asked Harry.

     "Nevermind," said Meggie, muttering about how guys were clueless. "So, um, tell me about Hogwarts."

     "Well, let's see…there are four houses, and there's a Qudditch team for every house…"

     "What are the houses like, and how do you get put into one?" asked Meggie curiously.

     "The houses are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin.  There is a head for each house.  I'm in Gryffindor, and let's see, its main characteristic is bravery.  Hufflepuff is hard workers, and Ravenclaw is people who study a lot," Meggie made a face, "and Slytherin is evil.  Snape is the head of the house."  Right then the two men in front of them stopped. 

     "Here it is!" said Snape.  Harry inwardly debated whether to tell him he was still in his underwear, but decided against it.  Snape passed out floo powder.  "Okay, Black, then Potter, Faren, and I'll go last."

     Unfortunately when they got back, people were still eating dinner. (Or supper, or whatever you want to call it!)  Sirius appeared into the Great Hall, out of the fireplace, and one look at his back caused laughter to spread like wildfire.

     Harry rolled out of the fireplace, which surprised everybody.  They were told there had been an accident and was in the hospital wing.  Someone had some explaining to do.

     Next came Meggie.  Nobody had ever seen her before, and immediately whispers filled the hall.  Meggie brushed herself off.  Harry hadn't noticed what she was wearing before, but now that he looked, he was surprised.  She was wearing Muggle blue jeans, which sported a large hole in her right knee.  Meggie was also wearing a large Muggle tee-shirt which said, "Nobody's perfect, I'm a nobody."  She came over and stood next to Harry, looking around the Hall.

     The whispers were cut off immediately though when Snape stepped out of the fireplace, in his underwear, which incidentally said, "I love Minnie".  At first the Hall was silent, and then a few snickers started from the Gryffindor table, which soon turned into a dull roar.   Snape look down, and noticed that he was still in boxer shorts.  Professor McGonagall's face was sprouting a look of horror and surprise.  All of a sudden a chant started from the Gryffindor table, and soon the whole Hall soon joined in.  "McGonagall and Snape, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G, first comes love, then comes marriage, and next comes a baby in a baby carriage!"  Even Dumbledore himself was laughing as both professors hurried to leave the Hall.

     "Well," said Professor Dumbledore, hiding his smile, "I'd like to introduce a new student.  Meggie Faren, will you please step forward?"  Meggie left Harry's side, and Harry flashed her a quick smile before she went up to the teacher's table.  "Miss Faren, would you please go try on that hat?"  Meggie, a bit puzzled, went and sat down on the stool, and placed the hat on her head.  The hat fit perfectly, and she was slightly surprised to hear a voice in it.

     Let's see here, plenty of brains, just doesn't want to use them…

     Well, what's the point of using them?

     Don't talk back to me young lady!  Cunning, but not in a sly way…hard worker, when you want to be…

     When was that?

     Shut up and let me do my job!

     Then pick a stupid house!

     Fine… "GRYFFINDOR!!!" 

     Harry smiled at her as she came down.  The Gryffindor's were cheering loudly, and were quite happy to have a new student. 

     Ron and Hermione welcomed Meggie warmly, but Harry was immediately barraged with questions.  "Harry Potter, where were you?!  They told us there had been some accident, and…"

     Harry knew that if something else happened, he might have to tell them he was a Mage, but until then, he'd at least try to cover it up.  "I'm here, okay?  I'm alive, right?  That's all that matters.  Look, let's eat, cause God knows we won't eat in the morning when we've got Double Potions."

     "Eww…" said Ron, "did you have to remind us?"

     "Yes."

     "So, Meggie," said Hermione, "what good books have you read lately?"

     "Ummm, let me think…none?"  This was obviously not the answer Hermione was expecting, but Ron liked it.

     "Finally," said Ron, "a girl who has her priorities straight!"

     "RON!" yelled Hermione.  The two immediately began bickering.  Harry pointed at the two and rolled his eyes.

     "So, Meggie, you want a tour?"

     "Sure."

     "Yuck, Potions," said Ron as the four worked their way down.  Meggie was now wearing robes, but her hair was still the same.  "How much worse…nevermind," he said as he rounded the corner to see Malfoy. Meggie looked questioningly at the three.

     "Look Mudblood, Weasel, Potty, and who is this; Potty's girlfriend Toilet?  I thought you were still on with Moaning Myrtle, wait, she's dead!" 

     "Watch out Malfoy, someone might turn you into a ferret," said Ron.

     "Like who…" all of a sudden Malfoy was a ferret, and zooming around the hallway.  Crabbe and Goyle quickly split.

     "Who did that?" asked Meggie.

     "I don't know," said Hermione, "it wasn't me."
     "Definitely not me," said Ron.  "Harry, what's going on?  Weird things have been happening around you lately."

     "I don't know what you're talking about…" said Harry quickly.  The two glared at him and Meggie's eyebrows raised.  "Oh, fine, look, I'll tell you guys later, after Potions."

     "Fine, but you better," said Ron.  "No lies."  Harry nodded and they went on to Potions.

     They were surprised by what they found there.  Instead of Snape there was Arabella Figg.  Snape must not have gotten over last night's episode.    Miss Figg seemed to have misplaced the notes, and without them, there was no class.  So, they spent the period doing nothing.  Meggie was reading from a book, which slightly surprised Harry, as after her answer last night, he thought she didn't like to read.  He came over, and perched on the back of her chair, reading over her shoulder.  One of the most famous pranks ever played was when one of the famous Marauders turned a professor at their school into a student…  She was reading a book on pranks!

     "So, Meggie," said Harry, "which is your favorite one?" 

     "I don't know.  You see, this book updates automatically, and I just got one in.  It had something to do with someone setting their godfather up…you wouldn't know who that was would you?"

     "Nope!" said Harry happily.  "Wait, now that I think about it…that was one of my better pranks…" They spent the rest of the period talking about the pranks they had pulled.  Once, Meggie had even shanked, pulling down someone's pants, all of the teachers at her school.

     Harry was enjoying himself, until class ended, and Hermione and Ron dragged him out.  They dragged him all the way to the empty Charms room, and Meggie followed along.

     "Okay, Harry," said Ron, "what's going on?"

     "Well…" said Harry, "this is going to be a big surprise, and please don't faint or anything."

     "We won't," said Hermione.

     "Well, you see guys, umm, I'm a…umm…Mage."

I'll leave it there.  This may be one of my longer chapters!  Yeah!!!!!!!  Sorry about that outburst.  Once again, flames will be used to bake…in this case a cake, I want chocolate.  Okay, a couple of things. First, Meggie is going to be a prankster.  Two, Meggie has a dark past. Three, I have a question, when should Sirius and Arabella get married?  Remember folks, read/review.
