Chapter 11: Dragon Pox for Seven!?

"What's the count?" Frank asked his brothers and cousins as they walked the grounds. It was a bright and sunny spring day in March.

"Three days quarantine and counting," Annie sighed.

"Is there hope of sneaking a sugar visit yet?" Wilfred asked Victoria.

"Well how should I know," Victoria asked?

"We all know you two are blood-sisters. CV is the closest of all the cousins," Penelope replied.

"Yeah but BFW are the nurse's kids. If anyone should know it would be them," Victoria replied sitting by the lake. The others sat down as well and formed a circle.

"You know she has a point," Annie said.

"She does. And it is that point for why we avoid our mother," BJ replied.

"So we're back to who knows the best time to sneak the sweet visit," Frank sighed.

"Uh I think we may just get an answer," Wilfred said pointing to the sky. They looked up and saw a small white owlet making its way to the group.

"They must be desperate if Johnny's willing to send Hedwig out. He's had that egg since Christmas and it only hatched like two months ago," Frank said as the owl fell in Victoria's lap.

Annie rooted in her pockets for some spare owl treats as Victoria untied the letter and started to read. She recognized the elegant writing immediately…

"Cousins,

Words can not express how desperate we are!! If you have any compassion for your little sickly cousins you will sneak in here tonight with chocolate and ginger newts!...oh and Sam and John say lemon drops too. BFW, V, and AP, we have been stuck in the witch's quarantine for three days now with nothing but juice and soup. Dad 

has tried and failed…it's up to you lot now. Please, please cousins we need you…I need you, there is only so much of Aunt Pops fussing and no sweeties I can take!!

Hurry,

Corri"

"Well I think that suffices for the right time," BJ laughed.

"Yeah luckily all of us have already had the dragon pox," Frank agreed.

"But we have to be smart about this," Victoria replied, "we can't let the parents know and we have to make sure we don't get the rest of the school sick."

"SO what do we do," Wilfred asked?

"Dad has been sneaking immune potions to Auntie Min so she can see the kids," Victoria explained in a whisper, "She's never had dragon pox before. I think I can get some from his private lab."

"So we'll take that and sneak into the professor's medical quarters with the goods," BJ said conspiratorially. The six nodded and went their separate ways to gather everything for the night.

Midnight at Hogwarts found six hooded figures slipping through the hospital wing and into the secret passage way of the teacher's medical quarters. They move slowly down the hall looking at the clipboards on each door. Finally at the end of the hall they found the room they were looking for. The clipboard read….Professor Quanine. Flu like symptoms with green skin.

"I think mum's getting rusty with the names," Wilfred whispered as Annie gave the secret knock.

They soon heard a voice say, "Shall I be a great fool to accept the gifts of Trojans?"

"Nay, for you shall accept the gifts of Romans," Victoria answered back.

"Then enter before the Trojans come," the voice replied.

The six entered to find Correna, Tabitha, Varick, and Jonathan sharing one bed and Kenneth, Andromeda, and Samuel the other. "Hurry and shut the door," Kenneth said. "Thank Merlin you got Mama Cor's letter," Jonathan sighed, "Did you bring the lemon drops?"



"We did. We have care packages for everyone," Victoria said as she brought a package over to Correna.

The other five handed out the rest. Correna opened the paper to find a tin of chocolate frogs and ginger newts, and the latest issues of Transfiguration Weekly, Witch Weekly, and Potions Monthly. "Thank Merlin I was going insane without anything new to read," Corri said popping a ginger newt in her mouth.

For an hour the cousins sat chatting and enjoying each others company. "Oh hey Vi look at this," Correna said showing her an article in Witch Weekly.

"Cor you know I don't like to read that gossip trash," Victoria sighed.

"No I know, but look at this," Corri said pointing to the article.

Victoria sighed but looked none the less. What she saw made her snatch the magazine right out of Correna's hands.

There for the world to see was a picture of Minerva and Albus waving at them. Of course it was a fairly old picture, but what was the most eye-catching was the title of the article.

"Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall: The Greatest Teaching the Youngest! Albus Dumbledore has held the title of greatest wizard of the age for years. He discovered the twelve uses of dragon's blood and defeated Grindelwald. Of course his defeat is a little sketchy. Rumor has it that school hood friend and partner in crime Minerva McGonagall is the sole reason he is still alive!" Victoria read astonished.

"They gave an interview?" Frank asked looking over her shoulder.

"No, this is just something they made up," Victoria said referring to the magazine, "We all know Auntie Min and Uncle Al wouldn't talk about this stuff."

"Yes but I gave you the magazine to read that they say mummy is the greatest witch of the age," Correna explained pointing down to the bottom of the page. Victoria looked quite pleased and read aloud what Corri was pointing to.

"With this new thought one must wonder who is the greatest witch of the age. We here at Witch Weekly have taken a pole and the following is what are staff and lovely readers think…..

Cameron Morris--5

Delores Umbridge--20

Amelia Bones--10

Minerva McGonagall--65

Apparently it is indeed Professor Minerva McGonagall that takes the thrown with Professor Dumbledore. With these two at the helm of the best school in Europe parents can rest easy knowing their children will be learning from the best."

"Dude, Corri do you know what this means?" Frank asked looking up from the magazine.

"It means that they are a couple literally and figuratively?" Corri asked confused.

"Well yes, but it also means that now your mum is going to be famous to! I bet she gets a chocolate frog card if she doesn't already have one," Frank said as all eyes slowly gravitated toward the Dumbledores' chocolate.

"All in favor of looking raise your hands," Corri said. All hands went in the air as a mad flurry went about opening the cards.

For several minutes all that could be heard was the rustling of wrappers and mouths chewing as they engulfed the chocolate and looked at the cards. After they'd past the twenty minute mark Correna sat up exclaiming, "She does have one!!"

Everyone crowded around the bed as Correna turned the card over and read…… "Minerva Harmony Grace McGonagall. McGonagall is most noted for being the youngest registered animagus at 16. She is also known for her auror work during the battle with Grindelwald. She was very helpful in the final battle in 1946. Minerva is the Deputy Headmistress, Transfiguration Professor, and Head of Gryffindor at Hogwarts. She loves reading a good novel, ginger newts, and classical music."

"This is cool! Can I have it," Wilfred asked?

"Are you insane? This goes in my collection," Correna exclaimed placing the card securely in her dressing gown pocket.

"Well now that we know, I think we should be getting back to bed. I mean we don't want to get caught right?" Annie said looking at the other cousins.

"You're right," Victoria nodded. The six cousins bid farewell to their sick seven and left the room.

They all dispersed to their dorms. Bernard Pomfrey Jr. went to Gryffindor tower. Frank Pomfrey and Victoria Hooch nay Snape went to Ravenclaw. Annie Flitwick, Penelope Flitwick, and Wilfred Pomfrey to Hufflepuff. All slept contently knowing the seven Dumbledore children would be better soon.

Hope you all enjoyed. I'll try to make the next one more exciting.
