Title The Fake Professor / / / Rating T
Warnings Contains mild swearing in this chapter
This is the last of the prewritten chapters, and if I am honest, I must admit that I had kind of lost my love for this story at this point, so that is why the chapters are shorter from now on!
-The Fake Professor-
Previously on The Fake Professor…
"POTTER, WEASLEY AND POTTER!" Mr Filch shouted, limping towards James, Fred and Albus. "You've gained yourself a detention each!" Albus couldn't help his face drop. He ran, upset, to Gryffindor Tower, through the portrait, and up to his dorms. He saw Rose and Scorpius come in.
"Rose!" Albus said, jumping off the bed to hug his cousin. "It's only been a day and I've missed my cousin! How's Uncle Ron?"
"Al! You look better already!" Rose said, jumping on Sean's bed. "He's alright. According to Healer Kumar, Madam Longbottom's assistant, he should recover from the attack. I hope Uncle Harry catches whoever did it!"
"Fathers been here today, but he was heading to see you, Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione this evening as he had some news himself." Albus said, lying on his bed. "You missed our first Flying Lessons today with Professor Chang!"
"Did I?" Rose asked, her face dropping. "How were they?"
"Al has only gone and got himself on the Gryffindor Quidditch team as their new Seeker!" Scorpius said, suddenly covering his mouth when he realised what he had said.
"Surely you can't be serious?" Rose asked, shocked at the revelation. "You. Seeker. Quidditch?"
"Yes, I am!" Al said, "Longbottom caught me catching a snitch that the Slytherins had nicked and lo and behold, I'm on the Quidditch team!"
As the rain lashed at the Gryffindor tower, little did they expect to have a busy few weeks ahead!
The Great Hall, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Scotland
18th September 2017
The first few weeks at Hogwarts had flew by for the combined Potter/Bones family, with James joining his cousins Fred and Molly Weasley in their new method of causing mischief, with James and Fred clearly channelling their namesakes and the sense of humour and pranks that had come from both the Marauders and the Weasley Twins before them.
Amelia and Arthur had spent significant amounts of their time in the school library working their hardest on assignments that the Professors had set, with a helping hand going towards the efforts of keeping the combined trio of families in the Exceeds Expectations/Outstanding range in their subjects, pleasing their Professors.
In fact, out of all the Potter/Bones family that were at Hogwarts, Albus was the only one who had a harder time of things. Having been picked for the Quidditch team, his studies, and attendance at a club which ran weekly by his Aunt, Hermione Weasley, combined with the stress that both his brother James and his cousin Fred put upon her caused him to lose his temper, because of their pranking of him incessantly, resulting in his getting a detention with his Head of House, Professor Longbottom.
Sitting down to breakfast, Albus saw the Daily Prophet had arrived. Sharing with his cousin, Rose, he saw the headline that had made his friend, Scorpius, cheer out loud.
"Malfoy for Minister of Magic
By Rita Skeeter
History was made early this morning in the chambers of the Wizengamot, with results coming in for the first ever election for Minister of Magic, made by the Wizarding population of Great Britain. The election consisted of three candidates.
The first candidate was Wizengamot member Draco Malfoy, being backed by his political opponent, Harry Potter. Malfoy, previously of the Dark Alliance, was involved in scandal earlier this year when his sister-in-law, Daphne Boot (nee Greengrass) used the Imperius Curse to lure the Chief Warlock, Percival Weasley.
Story continued on Page 2-10 and page 18"
As Albus watched his new friend get up from the Gryffindor table to see their Head of House, he suddenly heard his half-sister, Amelia, squeal in joy.
"Yes, I will Colin!" Amelia shouted, full of glee. "I will marry you!" She dragged her fiancé out of the Great Hall in order to get some peace.
'At least she is celebrating something different from Lord Malfoy getting the Minister of Magic position.'
Malfoy Manor, Swindon, England
18th September 2017
Astoria Malfoy (nee Greengrass) woke up in the house that she had lived in since she had married her husband, Draco Malfoy, safe in the knowledge that her one child was at Hogwarts and that the other one, her six-year-old daughter, Cassiopeia, was asleep at her ancestral home, Greengrass Manor, on a sleepover with her parents, Cyrus and Melina Greengrass.
She had asked her parents the previous day if they would be able to look after Cassie as she knew that her husband was going to have a big night, especially as the Wizengamot was going to announce in the Wizengamot chambers the results of the election thanks to the new law allowing the election of the Minister of Magic.
She saw an owl carrying a copy of the mornings Daily Prophet newspaper. Opening it cautiously, worried about the news it contained, she smiled when she read the headline from the early morning.
Suddenly she heard the crack of apparition and, turning around, saw her husband with a massive smile on his face, walking into the Drawing Room.
"Hello Mr Minister."
Something told Draco that he would be busy all day…and that the effect of the actions would be something that happen nine months later…
