Albus watched in amusement as the 4 year old child he was currently watching was searching frantically for some kind of spell to freeze the movement on the ceiling, and as he was getting scolded by Minerva.
"Albus! Please, you can't possibly let that child search through every single book in the library, excluding the Restricted Section!" Minerva said just as frantic as Sandra was.
"Actually, I gave her permission to search the Restricted Section." Albus said, his eyes twinkling wildly.
Minerva stared at Albus a second before storming off, not noticing Sirius and Remus come down the corridor.
"What's got Minerva so riled up?" Remus asked.
"She doesn't think I should let Ms. Snow's daughter search through all these books for a charm that may not even exist… And then I told her I allowed her to go into the Restricted Section as well." Albus told them.
They stared at him.
"What is she looking for?" Sirius asked.
"A charm to stop all movement of the ceiling in the Great Hall." Remus informed him.
Sirius stared at him.
"Does she really think she can do that?" Sirius asked.
"Yes, she really does believe she can." Albus said, smiling.
"You just like the fact that this pisses off Minerva, doesn't it?" Sirius asked.
"Yes… You can say that, I suppose." Albus replied.
"You have thought about what'll happen if she does stop all movement of the ceiling? Right?" Remus asked his former Headmaster.
"Not at all. But I have a feeling that once young Sandra succeeds in her quest, she will undo the charms…" Albus said, not sounding all that sure.

The portrait door slammed after Severus left Merry's rooms.
"Well… That was rude." He commented before going off to make some potions.

"C'est impossible! Il n'y a aucune manière que je pourrais faire ceci! Il n'y a aucun un tel charme... Je sais qu'il y a un tel charme!" mumbled Sandra frustratedly.
It was a sight to see a 4 year old speaking to herself in French while looking through a million books, Remus had to admit.
"How many books have you gone through?" Remus asked.
"Uh… there are 13 piles of 15 books… give me a second… 195 books so far." Sandra muttered while looking through another book.
"Find what you're looking for?" Remus smiled.
"Are you joking? This could take weeks!" Sandra said, looking at him as though he were crazy, her glasses sliding down her nose. She pushed her glasses back up her nose and continued searching.
Remus noticed that she had read all the potions books in the library(there weren't that many because potions isn't a very popular topic).
"Why did you read the potions books?" he asked.
"Because if you're given the use of something, always take advantage of what you may learn." Sandra said not looking at him.
Ah, so Sandra was like Hermione.
"How much about potions do you know?" Remus asked.
"A lot. Mummy wants to become a Potions Mistress, and I want to be just like Mummy so I learned Potions too." Sandra nodded.
"Well, you seem to have a lot of determination." Remus stated, making
Sandra narrow her eyes at him, her glasses once again slipping down her nose.
"You're weird." She finally stated, smiling at him.
"Says the 4 year old who already planned her future." Remus commented.
"Touché." Sandra said, and her smile was a true smile, unlike the other times she smiled at people other than her mother.
"How do you like Hogwarts so far?" Remus asked.
"I dunno. I haven't been in many rooms. Just the library, the corridors, the Great Hall, and mine, Mummy's, and Isaac's rooms." She told him.
"Isaac?" Remus asked.
"My brother. He's very little and needs to sleep a lot." She told him.
"What about your father?" Remus asked her. She looked sad for a moment.
"I don't have one. I only have Mummy. Isaac had a Daddy, but his Daddy died. But I never had one… Not that I need one of course, since I can take care of myself…" Her voice trailed off.
"Of course." Remus said. Sandra had very much respect for herself. "What was Isaac's father like?" he asked.
"I dunno really. He only seemed interested into Mummy… then again, Isaac's Daddy was a Veela so I guess he only cared for Mummy and Isaac." She said sadly.
Remus was surprised. Merry had been bonded to a Veela who had died… why wasn't she dead because of the loss yet?
She shut her mouth before she said to much and kept reading.
