p class="MsoNormal"A/N: I'm really really really sorry that I haven't updated in such a long time… What with starting secondary school and preparing for mid-years… Anyway, here's chapter 5. Enjoy!/p
p class="MsoNormal"Chapter 5/p
p class="MsoNormal"Hermione's eyes widened with disbelief, "The fairy godmother's granddaughter? Are you kidding? That's just so cool!" She exclaimed./p
p class="MsoNormal""Who is this hairy dogmother that all of you keep talking about?" Ron asked confusedly./p
p class="MsoNormal""Fairy Godmother. Not hairy dogmother," Hermione said in exasperation./p
p class="MsoNormal""If you are related to King Arthur and the Fairy Godmother," Harry pondered to no one in particular, "then where do you live? With muggles?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""We go to Muggle school on weekdays and fairy school on weekends," Alexis said./p
p class="MsoNormal""Fairy school? Where?" Harry questioned./p
p class="MsoNormal""The Land of Stories," Alexis replied matter-of-factly./p
p class="MsoNormal""We should take them to see Dumbledore," Hermione decided./p
p class="MsoNormal""Who's Dumbledore?" Charlie asked./p
p class="MsoNormal""He's our school principal," Ron said proudly, "one of the greatest and wisest wizards of this age."/p
p class="MsoNormal""A bit like Merlin, then" Charlie mused./p
p class="MsoNormal"As the five of them headed back to the castle, Alexis and Charlie were met with a barrage of questions from Harry, Ron and Hermione. At the gates, Charlie and Alexis were greeted by a castle more majestic than any other. They walked up a flight of stone steps and crowded around the huge oak door./p
p class="MsoNormal"A rheumatic man stood at the door. He had hunched shoulders, and a hunched back. His face was horrible, pouchy and pasty with pale bulging eyes, and sunken, veined cheeks. With thin grey hair and quivery jawls, he shuffled and wheezed while walking. "Potter, Granger and Weasley! You're late!" he croaked. Seeing Alexis and Charlie, he exclaimed, "Who are these children? Don't tell me you're taking in street kids now. All of you, to Dumbledore's office now!"/p
p class="MsoNormal"The five children shuffled their feet as they headed to the Headmaster's Tower. As they reached the seventh floor, they came face to face with a huge, grey creature. From the corner of her eye, Alexis saw it move and she jumped back, startled./p
p class="MsoNormal""Don't worry," Harry said, "it's just a stone gargoyle that asks you for the password./p
p class="MsoNormal"True to his word, the gargoyle turn its solid, grey head in their direction and rasped, "Password,"/p
p class="MsoNormal""Fizzing Whizbees," Harry said./p
p class="MsoNormal""What in the name of Merlin is 'Fizzing Whizbees'?" Charlie mused curiously./p
p class="MsoNormal"Everyone ignored him as the gargoyle stepped aside and gestured for them to enter./p
p class="MsoNormal"Hermione went in first and the rest filed in after her./p
p class="MsoNormal"The Headmaster's office was a large, circular room full of curious and fascinating objects, and peculiar little noises. Alexis' and Charlie's eyes roamed in all directions. There were shelves and shelves of objects, and walls full of moving portraits, but what stood out the most was a black, tattered hat. The hat was pointed, and cone-shaped, but it was full of holes. The most peculiar thing was- it had a face! There were two creases in the top parts of the hat, a mockery of closed eyes. Below the 'eyes', it had another crease that looked like a mouth. Charlie wondered why the Headmaster would keep such a tattered and torn hat./p
p class="MsoNormal"The Headmaster was an aging man with a head full of long white hair and a long white beard. A pair a silver wire glasses sat on the bridge of his nose, which looked like it had been broken before. Behind his glasses, he had a pair of gleaming blue eyes. When he saw the five enter his office, he stood up in greeting. "Harry, Miss Granger and Mr Weasley. And who do we have here?"/p
