Chapter 26: End of Another Year

"Dragon! Dragon! I got the job!" Mat said, racing into the room and jumping up and down. He came to a stop and quieted his voice when he saw Dragon holding a sleeping Tiger. "Sorry, I didn't know."

"It's okay, he just got to sleep. Congratulations." Dragon craddled Tiger to his chest before leaning over and kissing Mat.

"Can you believe the school year is almost over? I mean, next week you'll be in the recording studio finishing up the album, I'll be learning the basics of what I'm going to do. Our son will finally see the rest of his family."

"And let's face we'll both start next school year off in our fourth and fifth year. Oh Merlin, ha ha, you have O.W.L.s. I just wonder, what next year will bring, I mean we've survived Dark Lordesses, possesed fathers, evil family friends. Truthfully, how could it get any more twisted?" Dragon asked, placing his son in the crib.

"Well, we could all wake up one day being the opposite sex. Turn into some sort of animals, I don't know break out into songs at random mo-AH!" Mat screamed when Dragon ran at him and picked him up over his shoulder.

"If any of those things come true, I swear I'm blaming you." Dragon placed Mat on the bed and started kissing him.

"Oh, none of those would come true, I mean they are just way too ob-oh-ious." Mat said, bucking his hips when he felt Dragon's breath ghost across his erection. "Oh Merlin Dragon. I-I'm trying t-to talk h-h-here. Thank you, as I was saying, those won't come true because your Dragon Potter-Malfoy, the obvious magical crap just doesn't happen to you." Dragon's only response was to take Mat into his mouth and tease him to death.

"You know, you'd think you two would learn. After having been walked in on as much as you two are, that even a simple locking charm on the door would be enough to tell us to come back another time."

"Then what are you still doing standing there, if you see we are busy?" Dragon asked, turning around to face Harry and Blaise. Blaise was currently turned around facing the common room of sorts. Mat just picked up the blanket and covered himself. "I see you've stopped being so shy."

"Yes, well that goes away when you're walked in on every time stuff tries to happen. Can we help you two?" Mat asked, smiling awkwardly to Blaise.

"Yeah, what we wanted to tell you was the leaving feast started oh about ten minutes ago. Didn't you guys get the bulletin about the end of the year being moved up a day?" Harry said, watching the two boys jump out of bed and get changed quickly. "Blaise do you mind calling Dobby to babysit Tiger?" Harry asked, before shutting the doors and going back towards the feast.

"Now that we are all here, some of us fed and watered." Dumbledore looked over at Dragon and Tiger. "I have an announcement to make. This was my last here at Hogwarts, I've been teaching for 91 years and I think that's it's time for me to retire. However, I will always be willing to come and help at Hogwarts as long as there are those that need me. Our own Professor McGonagal has decided to retire along with me. I believe that your new Headmaster will be able to replace teachers and run the school smoothly. Well, I guess I'll let him take it from here." Dumbledore said, sitting down in his chair at the head of the table one last time. Everyone's gazes turned towards Harry and Draco, thinking that one of them had made the headmaster position. They were shocked to say the least that it was Snape that stood up.

"Yes, well. There will be changes made for the next school year, you might want to keep your eyes on the Daily Prophet, and letters will be sent out within a week or two into summer vacation about certain changes. However, they are going to help instead of hinder your education. I would like you all to know, and no offense Dumbledore, but this is no longer the Dumbledore, free running, get away with anything except murder school that it is now. I believe that is all I have to say as of this moment." Severus sat down, and returned to eating. The student body was still in shock. Snape, as in the slimy, greasy haired potions professor was going to be their new headmaster? What was the wizarding world coming to? Why him of all people?

"You know, you could have stuck around for a few more years." Chastity said, sitting in Dumbledore's office with Severus and Mcgonagal having tea.

"Yes, but my place is with my family right now. I stayed during the war, I think it's time for me to have a break."

"Chastity, I'm only going to be headmaster for a year or two.Then if you want to take it up, the position is all yours."

"I sort of wanted to start up a nursing program here, you know we do need more medi-wizards and healers. Plus, whoever trains here is pretty much guaranteed to be experts in male pregnancies."

"Yeah well, with those two popping out children so often, they could probably start delievering their own children." Severus stated before being hit on the back of the head by Mcgonagal.

"Severus Snape, that was inappropriate. Technically true, but very uncalled for." Chastity said smiling into her tea cup. Dumbledore just looked at the two, he enjoyed watching Severus happy for once in his life. "Albus, I don't know what compelled you to pick Severus as your replacement, but I think you might want to rethink the idea."

"No, I think it's just what Hogwarts needs." Albus said smiling and chuckling a bit. 'I can't wait to see how next school year turns out.' Dumbledore thought before going back to his tea.

D/N: Ah, the end to another wonderful year! Though we would have loved to push 100 reviews, it obviously couldn't be done :(. However, it does go to show that this story is starting to lose popularity. Anyways, twisted 4 is being outlined as we speak. I know there is a lot of stuff, Sev being headmaster, Chastity having her child, there's going to be stuff about Blaise and Remi in the next one. Then there's the whole Kime: Covers Dragon's mouth You can't give that part away! That's the main part of the story! I let you get away with the easy stuff, but that's just crossing the line. They aren't suppose to know about the seventh year! Covers own mouth See what you made me do! Dragon: Yeah, blame it on me! Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and school year.

Bit/Fuckcake: Calm down! Only Danny and Andrew, whom I haven't talked to in AGES! It's fine, the me and Ryan thing is starting to simmer down, though I just found out that his sister killed herself because he disowned her and his dad isn't doing to well, it looks like the cancer is winning. :(. His friends chose me to break the news to him. Oh andjobs come and go, the manager was a bitch anyways.I hate West Side Story, unless I am really in the mood to watch it, but I love that song! You and Snape flirt a lot! Mat: Thanks. Kime: Okay :). James: Yes I do. Though it sucks that you guys want her to keep writing cause she keeps having to leave to write :(.
