A/N: sorry about the late post, I was going to post more over the holidays but Im sick and it doesn't look like that's going to happen. Merry Christmas, and thanks for the reviews.
I have no idea if I'm supposed to write a disclaimer for each chapter, or is one good enough? I've seen people doing both, but in case:
If you think this story is actually written by J.K.R, I think you have severe problems. If this is the case, I encourage you to call the National Mental Health Association at 703/684-7722. Onwards with the story.
It wasn't long before Snape cornered Lupin and was holding him by the collar of his robes against a wall. Snape was just leaning in and demanding an explanation all while contemplating what to do to the werewolf that would make Tonks's spoon idea sound enjoyable when he was interrupted by a voice at the entrance to the room.
"AHA! You're gay!" Ron exclaimed. "Harry you owe me 200 galleons!"
Snape and Lupin froze, attempting to take in the surrounding scene while not blinking when disaster struck.
You see it was all Dumbledore's fault really. He was the one who had insisted that Neville Longbottom come to Headquarters to share his knowledge of plants in hopes of helping out the order. That was mistake number one. Mistake number two was Neville accepting the offer. The third mistake was Neville setting foot in the kitchen (you know where this is going, don't you?). Molly would have stopped him and averted the disaster if she hadn't been so busy preparing dinner. You're probably thinking to yourself Neville can't be that bad. True, he never murdered anyone at school with his potions ( so there were a couple of close ones..); but at least in the classroom he was supervised by everyone else (they knew what to expect and had CONSTANT VIGILANCE). The order members were not so lucky this time. Molly, still not thinking, asked Neville to take some of the food out of the oven. Had he not used a wand, the most damage he could have caused would have been would have been severe burns, burning down the kitchen and possibly getting olives embedded in Mrs. Weasley's sweater. So what does Mr. Longbottom do? That's right. He uses his wand.
No one quite knows what happened next, as most of the evidence was destroyed in the process, but 500 pounds of fudge ( the food, not the minister of magic, which would have been much cleaner…) exploded and engulfed everything in its path. Including order members.
So before Snape could kill Lupin, or Tonks could use her spoon, or Ron could get his galleons, everyone was engulfed in, well, fudge. Now this could have most likely been cleaned up with a few spells, except there were slight complications.
Hermione and Ginny were planning on having a "girls night". Well Ginny planned it and Hermione agreed in hopes of not getting hexed. That would have been fine but Ginny, over excited at the prospect of her marvelous idea, tripled the amount of bubble bath in the bathtub. Bubble bath that Fred and George invented themselves. So when Hermione and Ginny were relaxing and complaining about how happy they were to get away from Pavarti back at Hogwarts, and the fudge came crashing through the door, there was a reaction between the bubble bath and the fudge. One would normally think that the bubble bath would make cleaning the fudge off rather easy, but nothing ever happens the way you expect in the wizarding world.
Meanwhile Tonks had stayed in the bathroom and was contemplating her situation, unaware of the 7000 calorie monster that was lurking below. Although the thought of staying in there for eternity sounded pleasant, she finally decided that she wouldn't let Lupins lapse of judgment ruin the rest of her life. Coming to the conclusion to make Lupin regret the day they met – that was of course assuming that he was still in one piece after Snape caught up with him- after all, Lupin was much more of a wimp than Percy. Tonks was just taking a deep breath when the fudge decided to make a visit.
The fudge had no mercy and left no survivors – it even did wonders to Mrs. Black's portrait, which was in mid-scream and received a mouthful of the delicious concoction.
When the bubble bath collided with Neville's creation, the effect resulted in fudge that not only smelt like raspberries, but the minute it came in contact with water it only stuck more.
Upon examining the aftermath, most people were lucky. No one drowned, and Lupin was still alive due to the fact Snape couldn't see through his hair (which was now glommed with the fudge) well enough to curse him. A few spells and charms later, nothing helped, the fudge still refused to move. It was decided that a potion would be needed to counteract some of the foods undesired properties. Hermione had to make the potion, because Snape still couldn't move his hair from his face, and it seemed that even Longbottom cursed fudge could not make Hermione's hair any worse than it already was to start off with. After being dosed with large amounts of the saving potion, most of the the Order's dignity was restored. No one bothered to put any potion on Mrs. Black's portrait, Lupin was saved yet again as Snape decided to murder Neville first, as his hair was now frizzy and the raspberry smell refused to go away. Dumbledore was thrilled his beard was now more smooth even than when he used his lemon drop conditioner. Tonks though, ended up with a most unfortunate shade of green hair (that looked oddly similar to the color of Hermione's face when she rode a broom for the first time) and was unable to transform it to something less disgusting.
Such a situation had never occurred to Tonks before and she was rather worried. Tonks enlisted the help of Hermione to solve her problem (who else would have read all the book ever published on the subject in question?). Hermione immediately knew what book they needed to consult, and of course had that book in her room. After fetching it, she enlightened Tonks.
"You see, a metamorphmagus has difficulties transforming under one or more of the following circumstances" Hermione read. "Let's see, shall we?"
"over the age of 100, nope" Hermione said out loud as she went through the list.
"intoxicated, that's not it" Hermione said frowning.
"pregnant, definitely not" Hermione continued.
"recently taken the dark mark, ha!" Hermione went on.
Hermione continued, and upon reaching the end of the list told Tonks she had no idea what the cause of the problem could be. But Tonks wasn't listening. She mentally went through the list over and over in her mind, and the only circumstance she wasn't 100 sure of – was she pregnant? And with that Tonks passed out onto the floor.
