Authors Note: Look at that! Look how fast I got that out. Be amazed, be very amazed! This chapter is shorter than the last one but it's more exciting.
Maddy: Could you please write something that makes sense! I read what you reviewed for Irredeemable and that made more sense that what you reviewed for this. 'So put that in you stocking and throw it' what the hell? You are one messed up person when it comes to reviews. You're supposed to talk about the story not how you're 5 ft 9. What the hell does that have to do with anything?
Goku-lover21: I'm glad that you like it.
misfit2008: I glad that you love it, but what do you mean that you have to go through your mail? I'm confused.
Dino-Pac Man: Here it is.

Time Reveals All
Chapter 10
Mandarb sighed. "Well I'm just going to go for a walk. I'll see you all in the morning for our jog. Good night." And with that she walked off headed towards the Forbidden Forest.
"Well, that was interesting," Sirius said trying to break the awkward silence that had fallen, Come on lets get back to the tower."
Silently they started to go back into the castle. There was still an hour till dinner and they all wanted to digest what they had just heard.
"How could Harry have known that Mandarb was leading us to go visit man eating spiders?" Lily questioned as they climbed their 3rd staircase. "I mean by his description it must be and Acromantula, but how did it come to be in the Forbidden Forest? I mean there are rumors that there is a colony in "Scotland, but how did he know?"
Nobody said anything, but they were all thinking the same thing.
Reaching the portrait of the fat lady, James gave the password (sacred fire), and they all entered the deserted common room.
James and Sirius flopped down on the couch and Remus took an armchair and Mary and Lily positioned themselves across from the boys.
"My only guess," James commented, "was that he saw something that we missed. Something that he recognized only because he'd fought these things before."
"Yeah," Sirius agreed eagerly, "like the spidery thingies left tracks or something."
"Acromantula, Sirius Acromantula, not spidery thingies," Lily said before turning to James, "But you might be right it's entirely possible because not much is known about the Acromantula."
"Anyway," Said Sirius bouncing in his seat, "now that that's covered we need to discuss a prank. We haven't played a single prank this year and I have a good idea for one."
"Well it just so happens that so do I." James retaliated.
In seconds the two started bickering and Remus sighed, and turned to Mary and Lily.
"Just you watch in a couple of seconds they're going to turn to me and ask me to choose." He told them.
"And how do you?" Mary asked.
"I just have them do them both at the same time on the same day so there's no more problems."
"Remus," Sirius whined suddenly, "can you tell James that my prank is better and we should do mine before his. I mean come on! Multicolored bubbles floating around and bumping off any and all solid surfaces and refusing to pop is so much better than exploding quills."
"I don't know they're both great prank ideas." Remus commented while Lily and Mary started to giggle, "How about this. Why don't you set them off both at the same time?"
"Good idea Remus, the quills can be set off by a trigger word at the same time that Sirius casts the spell that produces the bubbles. You can help Sirius and I'll ask Harry if he would like to help me spell other peoples quills." James said.
"Speaking of Harry where do you think he went?" Mary asked concerned.
"I don't know, but if we want to eat we'd better get down to the Great Hall." Lily said standing up and heading towards the door with the others following.
When they entered the Great Hall they found Harry already sitting at the Gryffindor table with Peter. Having already forgotten the earlier conversation Sirius rushed over a plopped down next to him.
"Hey Harry! You know James was wondering if you would help him with a prank." Sirius said quickly.
More calmly, James came and sat on Harry's other side. Quickly he explained the pranks and asked Harry if he would help him.
"Sure," said Harry perking up, "that'd be great!"
"Good now…" James cut off as Dumbledore stood up.
"Good evening. As many of you know this year we have Professor Moody here teaching one of our students. He has asked me for permission to start a dueling club," mutters erupted all aver the Great Hall as Dumbledore paused, "Professor Moody will be assisted by Professor Mandarb and I will be providing equipment. If you are interested in joining please remain after dinner. Thank you."
As Dumbledore sat down people instantly began talking.
"Well guys what do you think?" Sirius asked, "I think we should go."
"I think so too," said Lily, "it could be useful."
"Personally I have to go. I promised Moody I'd demonstrate spells for him. Plus how good my spells are determines one of my test grades. He's really excited about all this," Harry said.
"I find it hard to believe that moody could be excited about anything, and what on earth are you eating?" Mary asked.
"Tofu, Mandarb's idea of health food," Harry replied.
"I'm glad I'm not you man. I wouldn't eat that stuff for anything," said Sirius eyeing it with dislike.
"I've had it before. It's really not bad," Lily said.
"How is it Harry?" James asked.
"Tasteless, breakfast is plain cheerios and lunch is whole wheat bread with low fat cheese, plus I can only drink water." Harry said dully eyeing his meal.
"Sucks to be you mate," Sirius said digging into his plate that was piled with crispy chicken legs, beans slathered in butter, and Alfredo.
Once dinner was over most of the school stayed in the Great Hall waiting for Dumbledore to finish eating. Finally Dumbledore stood up and with a wave of his wand all the tables flew over to the wall leaving plenty of room. Another wave and a dueling stage appeared in the middle of the Great Hall. Dumbledore went and sat against one wall while Professor Moody climbed up onto the stage.
"You've all come hear tonight to learn the art of dueling. To learn how to defend yourselves. This is not a place to fool around anyone who wants to fool around is in the wrong place and I ask them to leave now," Moody's eyes swept over the hall, but no one left, "good now my student and I have prepared a demonstration for you. Harry get up here."
The crowd parted as Harry made his way through to climb up onto the stage.
"Ready boy?" Moody asked as they assumed their positions.
"Ready," Harry replied calmly.
"On three."
"One."
"Two."
"Three."
"Domorakoshi!" Harry called.
"Protego," Moody countered before, "Tarantallegra."
Dodging the spell Harry quickly called, "Expeliarmus, Stupify."
Blocking the first one and dodging the second Moody called, "Petrificus Totalus, Tarantallegra, Domorakoshi!"
Harry was able to dodge the first one and block the second one, but the third one caught him off guard.
Harry stood there mouth shut tightly before throwing his wand down as a sign of defeat.
Moody turned to the crowd, "As you can see I have rendered him incapable of dueling. When you are hit by the Domorakoshi spell you begin speaking in different languages, each word you speak is in a different language that the previous one and no one can understand you not can you utter a spell. Most of the time when people try to talk while under the influence of this spell even people who know all the languages that the person is using don't know what he or she is trying to say because they don't make sense. They're just blabbering words."
Moody turned to Harry, "Nosane," He muttered waving his wand.
"Thanks Professor. You want me to fight one of the audience members now right?" Harry asked.
"Quite right now let me see. You boy," Moody said pointing to Pettigrew, "Come up here. I want to see you go against Harry."
"Alright boys on my whistle."
"One"
"Two"
"Three," Tweeeeeet!
"Expeliarmus!" Harry shouted.
"P-protego." Peter said flinching, but the success of his shield made him braver.
"Serpensortia!" He called. However since he didn't have good aim the snake flew straight at James.
James froze as the snake started advancing on him.
"No!" Harry shouted to the snake, knowing he was speaking in parsletounge, but not caring. Feeling a strange sense of déjà vu he rushed forward placing himself between James and the snake and hissed, "get away from him."
The snake backed down as Dumbledore stood up and waved his wand causing the snake to vanish.
"Mr. Prezorski, I congratulate you on your daring and saving Mr. Potter.20 point to Gryffindor, but I'm going to have to take 10 away Mr. Pettigrew and give you detention for putting another student in danger."
"Sir," Harry started confused, "If you don't mind me saying, you don't speak parsletounge so how could you know that I was telling the snake to back off instead of egging it on?"
"I don't mind you saying Harry, but judging by the fact that you placed yourself between Mr. Potter and the snake and that after you spoke the snake stopped it's attack I'd think it rather obvious." Dumbledore stated simply, "Why do you ask my dear boy?"
"Because at my other school when everyone found out that I was a parsletounge, in a situation similar to this one, they were all scared out of their wits and thought that I was the one controlling the monster that was petrifying everyone," Harry responded.
"Well my dear boy I don't think you should have a problem with that here. Now it's late and I do believe that it's time for bed. Dueling club meetings from now on will be Mondays and Fridays right after dinner. I wish you all a good night," Dumbledore said before sweeping out of the Great Hall.
