Chapter 2: Dumbledore's Office
"Now, what happened, Professor Richard?" Dumbledore asked the potions professor.
"I'm not sure; I was helping a different group. When I heard a noise and when I turned around, there was blue goop all over." She explained
"Oh?" Dumbledore asked raising an eyebrow
"I would say someone put too much of something in the potion. They were supposed to be making a potion that helps people remember their childhood," she said.
"What is your point of view, gentlemen?" Dumbledore asked Snape and peter
Peter said "Snape bumped my elbow and make me drop a handful of belladonna seeds into the potion"
"I did not! Snape yelled
"DID TOO!"
"DID NOT!"
"DID TOO!"
"DID NOT!"
"BOYS! Quit fighting!' Dumbledore said sharply
"DID TOO!"
"What is your side of the story Mr. Snape?" Dumbledore asked looking over the tops of his glasses at the boy.
"I went to tell him no, and he poured the whole pile in!" Snape said quickly.
"DID NOT!" Peter shouted indignantly
"BOYS!" Professor Richard scolded, "Will...YOU...PLEASE...SIT...DOWN!"
They flopped down on their chairs with a loud PLOP causing the kids in the corner to laugh.
Just then Professor Williams the Herbology teacher walked in and said "You wanted to see me sir?"
"Professor Williams," Dumbledore asked when she arrived.
"Do you have any means of reverting Miss Evans and her friends back into their normal selves?" he asked, sweeping his arm in their direction.
Professor Williams looks at the four children with surprise. "Oh my, what happened here?"
But as she opened her mouth to answer the little girl got up, walked over to Dumbledore and tugged on his sleeve.
"Mister, can you help me get this icky stuff off," she asked, picking at the blue potion on her arm.
"I don't think I can fix them right away," Professor Williams said after they had cleaned up the four children. "The only way I know of how to fix this is to use the Moonflower plant's berries. However you can only find them under a full moon in the middle of the spring."
"Alright..." Dumbledore said then turned to peter and Snape who were sitting in their chairs glaring at each other. "Boys, your punishment," he paused as they groaned, "will be a week of detentions. As for your four," he said turning to the kids. "You will go about the regular day...but I'm sure your professors will be nice enough to give you simple work to keep you busy."
"Mister..." James said in a rather rude tone, "We're six...not simple" Lily looked at James and rolled her eyes then sat back in her chair and swung her legs around before suddenly sitting up straight with a gasp.
"What is it Miss Evans?" Dumbledore asked.
"My name is Lily, not Miss Evans mister...I forgot...my piano recital is tomorrow...I'm not gonna miss it am I?"
"No you won't Lily...now off to Lunch children...Mr. Pettigrew and Mr. Snape...you will go to the rest of your classes. Mr. Pettigrew...show your charges to the common room.
"Yes sir." He said and they left.
Dumbledore sat back in his chair and stroked his bear then looked at Williams and Richard. "This is going to be one heck of a year...can you imagine the damage Misters Potter and Black can do at this age?"
Williams and Richard looked at each other and exchanged worried glances. They could imagine it too well.
