Chapter 13. Confrontation

Disclaimer: I own nothing except Raven, Fear, Silvia, Gemini, Frank, the plot, and whatever else you don't find in the normal ones.

"That's it!" Ron yelled out suddenly during Transfiguration class. He received a very stern look and warning gestures from Professor McGonagall. After she had returned to looking at the rest of the class, he turned and hissed to the rest of his friends.
"Fred and George are hiding something from us! And did you realize how...er...friendly they've both gotten with Mr. Ferret Boy?"
"Yeah, it is kind of odd," Hermione agreed. "After all, they are usually willing to rip his hair out straight from his skull."
"Oh, come on, Hermione. Is that all the imagination you have?" Raven cut in. "They'd love for him to become a eunuch!"
Both Ron and Harry winced at this thought, and they glared at Raven for suggesting it.
"What? It is true!" Raven declared.
"But did you have to say those exact words?" Harry demanded, imagining the horrible effects of a eunuch, but his face only scrunched up in an unbelievable formation.
"I thought it was rather comical," Fear laughed. Raven always used the word 'eunuch' after watching all of her movies, so she was used to it by now, even though it had taken everyone a long time to remember what it meant, no matter how many countless times Raven reminded them of it. "In fact, I've got a great idea!"
"What?" asked Ron, hoping that she would be changing the subject and get on with what they were going to do with his brothers.
"Let's castrate Malfoy!" Fear laughed gleefully.
"Yeah!" Raven laughed. "Hey, boys. Care to practice?"
A clear and distinct round of 'gulps' went around as Harry's glasses slid off his face and shattered while he spluttered, and Ron fell, hard, off his chair.
"That's it!" Professor McGonagall announced. "I've had it up to hear with you...you...transfer students!" she finally said. "I've tried to be lenient with you, figuring maybe things like that work differently at your...your old school. But I have warned you enough times, and I say it's high time you grow up and get the same treatment as our regular students!" she said. Pointing at Harry, Ron, Raven, and Fear...the only ones who had been talking loud enough, she told them, "You will report to Professor Dumbledore's office, I will let him know you're coming. He will decide your punishment."
With that, she ushered those four out of the room while they looked gloomily back at Hermione, Gemini, and Silvia. Even though Fear and Raven were used to detentions, they didn't like them, and they knew that was what was in store for them.
As they filed out, Sirius, James, and Remus watched them in awe. They were usually the only ones ever thrown out of class like that.
"What did she do that for? All they were doing was talking!" Sirius said, outraged. "We've done much worse!"
"Yeah, but what are we gonna do about it?" Remus asked.
James and Sirius grinned evilly as they thought of the same thing.
"Oh no," Remus muttered, knowing he had done something terribly stupid. "We are not going to do anything about it!"
"Oh yes we are," James grinned, taking out two spare dungbombs he kept in his pockets at all times while Sirius brought out his Filibuster's Fireworks.
"Ready?" Sirius asked, sliding out of his seat.
"You know it," James responded as they went up to the front of the room, ready to create havoc.

"You guys just had to do the talking and giggling act," Ron rolled his eyes. "Didn't you?"
"May I remind you, Sir Ronathon," Raven began, glaring at him, "You started the whole conversation."
They were all standing outside the door of Professor Dumbledore's office as Professor McGonagall had gone in to talk to him. They expected the two of them would be out soon to either talk there, or McGonagall would come out to send them in for their punishment.
"Yes, but I didn't keep going on about...castrating someone," he said, dignified.
"Oh yeah? Well...so what!" Raven replied, out of ideas. "Atleast I was having some fun! If you just hadn't started the whole conversation, we wouldn't be here, so don't yell at me!"
"I'M NOT YELLING!" Ron exclaimed back.
"YES YOU ARE!" Raven tossed back while Harry and Fear stepped back away from the blows.
"Feeling better now?" Ron asked.
"Yeah, a bit," Raven nodded her head.
"Ok, good. Now both of you be quiet," Fear told them.
"NEVER!" the two yelled at her, then laughed as a door opened.
"What have we hear?" a curious voice of Dumbledore asked.
"Nothing, professor," Harry said nervously.
"Alright then, come into my office, if you please," the Headmaster said softly, directing them into the room they had all seen several times.
When they were all settled in, he mournfully began speaking, "I have heard that over the past several weeks, you have been causing trouble with the professors, and I don't see how if you were truly in this school from the future, that you wouldn't care to be courteous to our staff and classes."
"Well, you see, professor," Harry began. "We were just discussing some problems we have been feeling about what could be happening. I don't see how this is going to work out, because clearly Fred and George are...er...they're hiding something from us. They aren't explaining things and they have begun acting oddly chummy with Malfoy, which is very unusual. We think they're trying to hide something that's gone wrong from us. It might be something with what's going on with the time turner that brought us here. We haven't actually seen it since then, really. I think that something went wrong, and if something went wrong, that would mean we're all stuck here, sir."
"Yeah, and I'm thinking that's how Malfoy got here," Ron added. "That it got lost there, so he found it somehow and took it, and now Fred and George are pretending to get along with him so that they'll get over the fact that they hate each other to bribe him not to go off and blab about the fact that he doesn't know where the time turner is as well."
Fear and Raven just listened, their jaws dropped in awe, as they heard Harry and Ron explain their theories and they had to admit, they were good. They figured that perhaps even Hermione hadn't thought of that.
"That's a very interesting twist that you guys have just explained to me," Dumbledore nodded, as though impressed. "Perhaps the most logical explanation to what you have all been describing to me. Miss Dream, Miss Williams...would you guys mind leaving and going immediately to your next class while I finish this discussion with Mr. Pot...Pratter and Wessle. Thank you," he added as though to say 'case closed' when the two girls opened their mouths to protest.
After they left and had securely shut the door, Dumbledore swiftly turned to face Harry and Ron.
"You two have completely figured out what is going on. I expect you to not mention this to the others, or else they will find out what's been happening over the past three weeks, and if they do you never know what could happen. I am counting on you two to be very careful about what else you expose to them, you understand?" he asked quietly, yet very carefully and sternly.
"Yes, professor," Harry began, but then asked, "but can we please tell Hermione? She is probably the most logical of all of us, and she'll know then not to tell anyone. She's most likely already discovered the same thing as it is."
"I understand. I believe that she is quite a bright young girl from what I've been told. Very well, you may explain the matters to her, but no others. The fewer of those who know is the better. Do you understand?"
"Yes professor," Ron and Harry nodded in unison.
"Good, now you are free to go to your next class. And remember what I've told you," Dumbledore looked at them from under his spectacles. "You are dismissed."
"Yes, sir," Harry said as Ron nodded. They both got up and walked out the door and down the winding staircase, silent as could be.
"What do you say?" Ron asked. "Find Hermione right away?"
"Of course, she'd probably do the same," Harry nodded.
"Right...right," Ron muttered under his breath.

A/N: Alright, there is my er...*looks at top of Chapters name* AHA! There's chapter 13. I'm actually pretty proud of it...don't know why, I think it's rather boring but it had to be done. I am going to be having a lot more of the characters from the books, and a bit less of my OC's for a while, they will be mentioned but I will have more Harry, Ron, and Hermione talks...and of course Fred, George, and Draco. Cheers! R/R
