Chapter Eight
It was a bright, sunny morning and the inhabitants of the school were waking up. Unfortunately, the spell that had been cast on their fellow students was still in affect but was starting to lose their hold over them. Harry was in the shower as Kai slept on the bed. Once he was done, Harry carefully picked up Kai and placed him around his shoulders, who then turned invisible, before heading off to the Great Hall. He and Kai had a silent discussion on the way, knowing that by the time they got there, there would be many little children running around. Harry had decided to be one of the later ones as him being in the Hall first every morning would draw attention to him, so when he walked into the Hall, he felt the spell take place. After all, no one needs to know the real prankster just yet, no? Once it had had stopped, Harry looked down on himself to see that he was back to looking like when he was five; very cute with big emerald eyes, a mop of ebony black hair and pale, moonlit skin. He blinked before freezing at the sounds of squeals. He looked up with trepidation as he saw a whole horde of girls rushing towards him. The other people who had been turned into little chibis were all in little suits or dresses from the time of 'Pride and Prejudice' and were forced into having tea parties by the evil…erm wonderful fangirls. The only ones that weren't dressed were the ones that were vicious, more demanding or just plain scary. He could even see some of the teachers in their more youthful years, namely late teens and early twenties.
He could see the 'Friendship Freak' 'playing' with a little chibi Dumbledore who still had the mentality of a one hundred and fifty plus senior, looking very disgruntled and slightly scared of the girl that was now trying to force a slice of cake the size of the Bible into his mouth. He could see Weasley being handled like a live teddy bear as he was cooed and pinched over while in a cute little sailor suit, no doubt scarred for life and looking for his 'happy place'. Granger was also surrounded but had the mentality of a five year old and was now crying for her mother. He could see Hagrid standing in the corner just eating on the Hufflepuff table as they cooed over him in a more controlled manner. He could even see the 'Hyper' jumping around like a monkey around the place, pulling people's hair, screaming and just making pure chaos. He went out of his thoughts as he felt someone pick him up, smelling the scent of strawberries and hearing the shrieks, coos and exclamations of 'Omigod how cute!' before using an effective method of getting the person to let him go. He bit her… hard. With a shriek of pain, she started to wave her arm around with Harry still latched on like a lizard. Others started to watch until the other fangirls, who were running around desperately like a bunch of headless chickens, noticed something red sliding down her sleeve and onto the floor. A small splat and they all looked. She screamed as Harry let go of her arm to cover his ears with Kai using magic to soften the landing.
"Omigod I'm soooo sorry!" she cried out as Harry looked up at her blankly with a bored face. The other girls all hovered around him until a Slytherin, who was very annoyed with their twittering, marched over and picked him up. It was Pansy Parkinson. "Shut up you morons!" she snapped at them to their disbelief. "You're all making it worse!" They all looked at the chibi Harry who was looking at them all with big, watery, emerald eyes as he turned his head to look at them. They all turned to mush and started to protest about her taking him to the Slytherin table but shut up immediately once they spotted Kai, who took off his invisibility. With a hiss, he curled around Harry protectively as he glared at them with his ice blue eyes. With a squeaky 'Eek!' of fright they decided to go off to their next victim…er, person who had unfortunately turned into a cute, slightly chubby chibi. Once they were gone, Harry sighed in relief before turning to Pansy. "Thanks for the save," said Harry as he jumped down with Kai using his magic again. "I gotta go now, see ya. Pansy spoke up from behind him. "You owe me Potter," she said calmly as Harry nodded. "Yeah, yeah," replied Harry as he ran off towards the Gryffindor table to have breakfast.
The rest of the day was a blur as half the school had to be temporarily turned into a nursery for all the chibis who were acting the age they were turned to while the ones still with the mentality of their normal ages struggled in their classes because of girls cooing over them. Harry had no problems because Kai would hiss menacingly if they even looked in his direction. It was all very amusing to the other teachers as the spell had only turned them slightly younger and not into little children. Dumbledore was carried around with the 'Friendship Freak' for the whole day like a little doll since he was 'oh-so adorable' and did not want to ruin his reputation so he behaved like a good little boy.
However, the spells started to wear off and soon, by the end of dinner, Harry and the others were back to their normal selves and ages. The boy that had thrown the apricot cheesecake at the Headmaster apologised to him profusely as Dumbledore just waved it off with a chuckle a slight twitch of his eye. Sad really, he could have thrown something else at the Headmaster or at least drove him mad or take away his lemon drops. The girl who was carrying him all day also apologised as she turned red in embarrassment. He repeated the motion as his eye twitched even more making Snape and Remus snicker. Madame Hooch glanced at them curiously. "What are you laughing at Remus?" she asked the Defence teacher who smiled cheekily at her. "I was just remembering all the students that were being handled like life-sized toys," said Remus with a small laugh. "It was so amusing seeing them all run away from the squealing girls; it reminded me of when I was still in school." Hooch laughed at that before going back to her dinner as Snape gave Remus a warning look before glancing in the direction of Harry and Kai who were no doubt discussing their next prank in Parseltongue. "We should buy some stuff from Gred and Forge," hissed Kai as he took the chunk of meat offered to him. Harry nodded in agreement. "I'll owl them later and see if they'll let me use some of their experimental products to 'test' them here," replied Harry absently in between bites of his dinner. "They probably won't mind since it will cause a bit of chaos and upholding the Marauder name. Hmm, which reminds me, should I tell them who the Marauders were or not?" Kai did a snake-like shrug which just looked like a contraction of muscles.
"You're choice," said Kai as he took another chunk of the meat. "But maybe you should use it as bribe to them." Harry just 'hmm'ed in reply. He took a bite of his dessert, which coincidently, was an apricot cheesecake. Dumbledore noticed and mentally frowned as a near invisible tick appeared on his on his eye. "I must tell the house elves to not make that cake ever again," mumbled Dumbledore in annoyance as the tick became more pronounced. Harry and Kai noticed and snickered silently before trudging off to Gryffindor Tower and go to sleep.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The next morning saw the whole school with a bad case of paranoia. A lot of the students were looking over their shoulder since a lot of fangirls were still squealing over the…'cuteness' of many of he people that had turned into children yesterday minus the people who were strong/vicious/demanding/scary during their time as a child. But many people still talked about them behind their backs, giving them a slight chill as they felt them talk about…well, them. Harry watched them all from safe, shadowed spots of the corridors with amusement as Hogwarts hid his own magic from the Headmaster. Sometimes, it was good to own at least half the castle, even if you're the heirs of two well-known historical 'enemies'. It was quite helpful for when Harry had to leave during the night for his little 'deliveries' to the Ministry.
The month passed in a blur as they all fell into the comforting lull of schedules and daily school life. During this time, Harry was able to get more Death Eaters into Azkaban and Limbo, Li Tao and Nema had reported back to him a few times during the month with lots of information on the various student Death Eaters. There were quite a few in the student body and many were ones he had a slight suspicion of. Ernie MacMillan, Zacharias Smith, Millicent Bulstrode, the list was quite large and took up at least four A4 pages of his book. Harry started to excel more in his studies to his teachers delight and to Granger's dismay. Weasley and Granger were also following him continuously, trying to find out where he's been all summer, but were deterred by Kai and strangely large amounts of students coming to him for advice and tips on spells. The majority of the DA also came up to Harry asking if they were going to continue the Defence club; his only reply was a vague 'maybe'.
During the time lapse, Harry was able to contact Fred and George and got a shrunken package with his reply.
Harry, mate,
We're more than happy to help you with your most brilliant, wonderful, amazing, devious, intelligent, sneaky, cunning, brilliant, hey! I already said 'brilliant'! Oops, you're right dear brother of mine, I do apologise old chap. Not to worry brother dearest, anyway, Harry dear friend, the things you ordered are in the small little box that's stuck on the parchment below. If you need anything else, give us a call. Until then, see you dear friend!
Fred and George.
P.S. come visit us in our shop sometime.
He glanced down at the bottom of the parchment and found a small box stuck on the parchment. With a grin, Harry put the parchment into his pocket before leaving for his next class. He was also confronted by Dumbledore about Kai. It was about three days after the 'Chibi Incident' as most of the students called it. He was called up to the Headmaster's office during his Transfiguration period.
He trudged up the stairs and into the Headmaster's office with a calm and blank façade. Kai was around his shoulders and hissing to him reassuringly before they reached the door to Dumbledore's office. Harry checked his Occlumency shields and glamour once more as the castle helped reinforce it before raising a hand and knocked on the door. "Come in," was the muffled reply as he opened the door. Harry's eyes wandered the room as he took in all the repairs made to the office he trashed in his fifth year before his eyes landed on the headmaster himself as he sat behind his large oak desk. "You wanted to see me sir?" asked Harry politely as he sat down and politely refused the offered candy. "Yes, Harry," said Dumbledore with a benign smile. "It would be Mr Potter, sir," interrupted Harry politely with an undertone of steel and stone. "You are my Headmaster, not my guardian."
Dumbledore mentally frowned as a small, near invisible tick appeared on his right eye. "Very well then, I was just wondering where you were all summer and also why you had left your relative's house despite the dangers that are present." Harry met Dumbledore's gaze squarely as he felt the small prod of Legilimency and strengthened his shields some more before letting loose the first defence with a grin.
Dumbledore was staring up at the titanium walls that shielded Harry's mind before he felt something coming and a door creaked open ominously. He looked up warily as he felt his wand materialise in his hand. A shadowed object moved into view and Dumbledore couldn't help but stare in disbelief when he shone some wand-light on it. It was a small furry animal-like creature with large ears, a beak-like mouth with big yellow feet and blue eyes. Its fur was white around its belly while the rest was a shade of sky blue. It blinked before opening its beak making Dumbledore blink himself. "Hello," it said in a strangely adorable voice. "My name is Furbie, give me a hug." Furbie then jumped up and down and Dumbledore couldn't help but laugh when he saw that it barely even reached half of his shin.
He knelt down and stared at it straight in the eye with amusement. "Furbie, you are so small," asked Dumbledore with a voice full of mirth. "You are also quite cute and obviously Muggle made but I can't give you a hug right now, in fact I should just blast you with a spell." Furbie looked up and blinked innocently at the Headmaster. Dumbledore aimed his wand between Furbie's eyes and muttered the blasting curse. A jet of red light shot out of Dumbledore's wand and hit Furbie straight on as Harry and Kai watched from the safety of his inner mind with a large screen television. A large cloud of dust followed the explosion as the Headmaster smiled in satisfaction and went back to examining the wall when he heard that familiar voice again. "Hello, my name if Furbie," said the cute voice again as the dust started to settle, revealing the shadowed form of Furbie. "And you've been a bad boy." Dumbledore turned with a look of disbelief to see not one Furbie, not two or even three, but a large group of them. There were so many that Dumbledore noticed that they had surrounded him. "You've been a very bad boy," said all the Furbie's together before the ones nearest to the age old wizard jumped onto him with cries of 'Give me a hug', 'You're my best friend', 'Hello, my name is Furbie', 'What's you're name?' and 'Let's be friends forever'.
Soon, the rest joined in on the dog piling with the same repeated cries, and watching all this with hysterical laughter was Harry and Kai before they projected it to Limbo, Nema and Li Tao who also laughed hysterically as the Headmaster tried to blast them all to no avail and was soon running from them for his life with his aged legs; which was quite fast for a man who was one hundred and fifty plus years. They followed insistently with the same cries and were soon joined by the second defence which were a large group of teddy bears with really sharp claws, flying bow ties and red laser eyes. Dumbledore then decided that it wasn't worth going into Harry's mind if he had these kinds of defences out here, after all, there could be worse things inside. Closing his eyes, Dumbledore went back to his own mind, leaving behind the rabid Furbies and teddy bears and to his own haven.
He opened his eyes in the real world to see Harry looking at him with concern, (not), who was standing in front of his desk. "Are you alright, sir?" asked Harry, feigning ignorance. "You seemed to have spaced out there." Dumbledore shook his head with a slightly shaky smile. "No, no, I'm fine," lied the Headmaster. "Just a little tired. Now, where were you during the summer Mr Potter?" Harry gave a dramatic sigh before answering. "I was just out of the country for a small holiday," replied Harry with the partial truth. "The Death Eaters wouldn't have thought of me being anywhere where I couldn't speak the actual language, so I went over to Bali for a while. Nice place really, wonderful service." Dumbledore searched his face, without the use of Legilimency, and nodded when he saw the truthfulness on Harry's face. "Very well then," said Dumbledore as he leaned back on his chair. "You may go back to class, but next time Mr Potter, tell us where you decide to go on holiday. You need protection from the Death Eaters, even if they do not decide to go to which ever place you go to, understood?" Harry nodded as he stood up and went towards the door. "Oh, Mr Potter," called out Dumbledore causing Harry to turn his head slightly. "Is that snake of yours your pet?" Harry shook his head. "It's my familiar, sir," replied Harry before leaving and shutting the door in the face of the surprised wizard.
"Is it really that bad to have a snake familiar?" asked Harry to Kai rhetorically as they went down the escalator-like stairs. Kai merely shook his head in reply as they headed off for Potions happily. Who wouldn't after witnessing the so-called 'Leader of the Light' running away from Muggle toys in fright? It was starting to look like a wonderful year to Harry as he smiled and whistled cheerfully on his way to Snape's class.
