Ernie Macmillan And The Philosophers Stone
Ernie stood gaping in shock "I'm a what?" He stuttered innocently. Severus smiled kindly and replied "You're a muggle Ernie, and a good one at that, once you're trained up a bit at Smeltings, I'm a caretaker there". Uncle Fred walked out of the room, cursing under his breath, a vein throbbing in his head. Aunt Molly and Percy followed him, casting strange glances back at him as though he was a freak. Ernie stood gaping in shock as the man pulled out a clock and said "Oh we best be off" He walked over to the door and said "Unless you'd rather stay of course" and walked out the door. Ernie thought for a moment then followed him.
As they walked along the now crowded streets of Surrey, Ernie looked around at the shops in awe. Muggles had amazing ways of coping without the use of magic. Ernie found himself entranced by something muggles called a vacuum. Severus had to drag him away from it, saying they had more important things to do then gaze at muggle cleaning applicants. They entered a small pub called The Leaky Bucket. "Hello Severus, usual I presume?" said the barkeeper, Mot, who was wiping down a large beer glass."No thanks Mot, I'm on official Smeltings business, Just helping young Ernie here to buy his school supplies"
Mot paused in the act of wiping out the glass and said "Bless my soul, its Ernie Macmillan" The entire bar stopped talking and began to crane their necks to catch a glimpse of Ernie. A young blonde woman ran forwards "Skye Bren, Mr Macmillan I can't believe I'm meeting you at last" A young girl sitting in the chair behind him said " Mimi Jaxon, Welcome back Mr Macmillan, welcome back" Ernie shook all their hands and a young stuttering man stepped forward and said "E-Ernie Macmillan, I c-can't tell you how p-p-pleased I am to m-meet you"
Severus said "Hello Sir I didn't see you there, Ernie this is Professor Lupin, He'll be your new Defence against the Dark arts teacher" Professor Lupin smiled warily and said "Not that y-you n-nedd it e-eh M-Macmillan?" "Well best be off, lots to buy!" announced Severus and they bade their farewells, making their way out the back door. "Sir all those people back there, how is it they know who I am?" Ernie questioned Severus Not sure I'm exactly the right person to tell you that Ernie" He said as they briskly walked along the busy street to a large building. Ernie watched on in awe as the elevator doors slid open to reveal a large shopping place "Welcome Ernie" said Severus " To Surrey Mall"
