Hey everyone, sorry this is so late, but I made it extra long as an apology so it should tide you all over till I can write chapter 28 which was also in the works when I was writing this, it was hard trying to figure out what I should put in this chapter and what should be in the next chapter.
Voldemort: This chapter should be interesting as it's Rose vs. Umbridge.
Definitely, who do you think is going to win? I think-
Voldemort: Don't tell the readers, just start the story already. The disclaimer is in chapter 1 and 2 and it is repeated in any chapters that have music in them.
Fine, fine, I'll start the story, geesh, Mr. Bossy.
---Chapter 27---
---A Flower VS. A Toad---
Harry, Severus, and Rose exited the fireplace into the Malfoy Manor and saw Draco explaining things to Lucius while Voldemort was still unconcious on a couch nearby with Nagini watching over him. The three shook the soot from the fireplace off their clothes before making their way over to the group.
"How's he doing?" Rose asked.
"He hasn't woken up yet if that's what you're asking," Lucius said walking over. "And I don't know how long it will take for him to wake up. This darkness has definitely drained him both physically and magically, his magic is lowered greatly."
"Well seeing as he is now drained it may take a few days." Voldemort began to stir and everyone turned to look at him. "Or just a few hours, whatever works." Everyone rushed over but Rose backed them off as she leaned over him.
Voldemort opened his eyes saw a pair of sapphire eyes staring down at him. He stared at the eyes longer and saw that the face connected to them was framed by reddish orangish colored hair of a young woman.
"Please tell me you're an angel," Voldemort said and one of the woman's eyebrows rose in confusion.
"Well at least we know he's awake," The girl said and suddenly a light flashed in his eyes and he looked away. "Hey don't turn away I need to make sure you're ok, geesh dang wizards can't even handle when they get a normal muggle examination."
"Where am I?"
"You are safe in dear Lucius Malfoy's manor, safe from the Minister, Bumblebee, and any other aurors that are trying to catch you."
"Who are you?"
"Rosalind Lillian Potter or Rose Potter at your service."
"Potter? Another one?"
"That's right, well at least his memory is ok, I was worried that he'd have the memory of when he left Hogwarts."
"Well at least it isn't, but now what do we do?" Severus asked as Rose finished her examination.
"I'm not sure, sit up please," Rose said and Voldemort sat up looking at the seven people around him along with Nagini who slid over into his lap and began hissing at him. "Well you don't seem to be damaged besides being drained of all of the dark magical energy that was placed into you by Kuragari, that guy really needs to be resealed he's getting on my last nerve."
"So what do we do?" Harry asked.
"Well for now nothing, let's deal with Umbridge and Bumbles first then we'll figure out what to do about Kuragari."
"So how did things go anyway?" Draco asked.
"Bad, Umbridge and Bumbles are trying to get me fired, so I challenged Umbridge to a teaching contest, if the kids and the guys from the school board say she's better than me, then I get kicked out and Bumbles continue to lead even more kids falsely claiming that Voldemort is evil, which at the moment he's not because well he's drained, but we can't let Bumbles find out about that."
"So how do we get him into the school?"
"Who said I was going back to the school?" Voldemort asked.
"Well for one thing Lucius can't keep you here, it's too risky with his Ministry job, who's to say if the Minister and some Aurors aren't just gonna stop by unannounced and then find you here and arrest you, if the red eyes doesn't give it away your use of Parseltongue, the way you talk, and Nagini will give it away, you'll be safer at Hogwarts hidden in my rooms."
"Why are you doing this?"
"Let's just say you're the lesser of two evils and you're drained, besides if you really wanted to kill us you would've just had Nagini attack us when we found you in the Forbidden Forest and delt with your weakened state in some other way."
"I see..."
Rose rolled her eyes at the now weakened and more than likely ex-dark lord before walking over to the fireplace and leaning her head against the mantel place.
"So what are you going to teach?" Neville asked.
"What I've been teaching, don't think that some toad lady and some manipulative old man are going to stop me from preparing the students for what's to come, it's just a matter of time before Kuragari comes back, I know it, don't worry I'm sure that there is no way Umbridge can handle teaching you guys."
----End of Easter Break----
Harry, Draco, Neville, and the twins walked down the corridor to the Defense classroom and saw Ron talking with Hermione in hushed whispered voices. Harry tensed up but his four friends reassured him by the looks in their eyes.
"We'll see..."
"You guys..."
"At lunch!" The twins said and the three young students laughed at the twins antics before heading to the Defense class while the twins took off to Potions. The three walked into the class and saw Ron and Hermione watch them as they entered. Harry let out a held breath as they entered the classroom and headed to the front.
"Calm down Harry, they're not going to jump you and cast a spell on you, that's what Slytherins do," Draco said with a smirk.
"Wow, I feel so much better," said Harry sarcastically to which three broke out laughing.
"Are you three done?" said a voice. The three looked and saw a grumpy Voldemort, or more so a grumpy Tom Riddle sitting in the front of the class with a change of eyes, darker skin, electric blue streaked hair, black eyeliner, leather pants, black boots, a black band tank top, and a black netting shirt. Strangely enough though they could also see that he had his ears pierced.
"Whoa what happened to you?" Harry asked in shock at seeing the still weakened ex-dark lord in clothes almost identical to the ones his sister had bought him when they were in London.
"Your sister, evil woman that she is, took me shopping and made me get my hair streaked and my ears pierced, she said it would help me blend in, she also changed my eyes, how many kids do you see with black hair and blue eyes?" Voldemort said.
"Calm down grumpy, it'll help you blend in with my crowd, the more Bumbles, Umbridge, and the others think that you're in my group, the less they'll suspect you, come on think about it, I hang out with demons, street punks, hanyous, and vampires, how weirder can the group get?" Rose said coming out of the back room dragging a large box that was about up to her waist.
"What's in the box?" Draco asked.
"Today's lesson, I thought it would be good to start the first day back with a bang."
"Oh boy, that just might be literally," Harry said recalling the soda explosion incident.
"Oh brother, you guys are so mean," Rose said and had fake tears in her eyes and three boys broke out laughing. Soon the rest of the class walked in and stared at Voldemort where he sat almost pouting in anger. Rose walked to the front of the class pulling the box with her. "Hello everyone, this week we'll be having..." The doors opened and in stepped Lucius, five other school board members, Dumbledore, Fudge, Umbridge, and Moody. "Ah, I see our guests have arrived, class please say hello."
"Hello," the class said slightly annoyed that the lesson had been interrupted before it began, minus Ron and Hermione who were both smirking.
"Anyway, class this week toad lady and I will be having a little contest to see who the better teacher is, moi or toad lady. So I'm sure you'll be on your best behavior as she'll be teaching you every other day and I'll be teaching the days she's not and by the end of two weeks we'll give you a test to see who was the better teacher and the school board can decide then who is the better teacher by the test scores, also due to Adrien's passing, I've had to find another assistant and here he is, everyone this is Tom Rytherin, I'm sure you'll treat him with the same respect that you treated Adrien. Shall we begin?"
The class nodded enthusiastically and Rose smiled before turning to the box. She grabbed a crowbar that was sitting on her desk and broke open the box. Rose reached into the box and pulled out a metal ball with different buttons and holes on it. She pressed a button and the metal ball floated besides her.
"Today and for the rest of the two weeks you'll be learning how to sense magic, in other words opening up your sixth sense to see what cannot be seen by muggles to use what cannot be done by those who do not believe. My friends taught me something similar to it, only it was sensing and using one's spirit energy and strength but if the person is an adequate fighter then they can hide it from you or their opponent making them underestimate them. Rule one in combat, never underestimate your opponent, it leads to your downfall." Rose said with a hard gaze when Hermione raised her hand. "Yes Ms. Granger?"
"What does this have to do with defense Professor?" Hermione asked.
"Good question, this device radiates different auras of magic whether they be attack auras, defense auras, or just auras that you can sense. Can anyone name the five senses you have?"
Harry, Draco, Neville, and Hermione raised their hands and Rose smiled before pointing to Neville.
"Well, the senses are sight, smell, sound, taste, and touch." Neville said and Rose nodded.
"Very good, five points to Gryffindor, now can anyone name what may happen to a blind person, since they do not have the sense of sight?" asked Rose and the kids all looked at each other before Draco raised his hand. "Yes, Mr. Malfoy?"
"When a blind person loses their sight, their other senses become heightened to help compensate for the loss of one sense." Draco answered and Rose nodded.
"Excellent, five points to Slytherin, now this training will basically blind you, in a sense; you'll have to make sure you pay close attention to what your other senses tell you. You'll also be able to sense if someone is coming up behind you."
"How can a sense of smell be used for defense?" Umbridge asked from the back of the room.
"Quite easily, if you were to be blinded or if say you were wearing glasses and do not see very well, you could use the smell of the air or the smell of a person to identify where and who you are with. If you were a demon or anyone with a very high sense of smell you could even smell if someone was lying to you. I should know because one of my friends is a demon and caught me trying to tell him the old my fox tore up my homework lie."
Most of the students laughed at the joke as did some of the adults in the back. Rose smiled before continuing.
"Now during the week, we will take away one of your vital senses, it'll be a little odd at first as some sights actually help you maintain your balance but you'll get used to it. If you want I'll demonstrate what I want you guys to do." The students nodded eagerly and watched as Rose had Voldemort tie a blindfold around her eyes after she had pressed a few buttons on the ball and it floated around her as if sizing her up. "Alright now, what I'm doing is more advanced and you'll be learning it later, this is what should be relatively close to using your ability to sense and use magic as an attack, defense, and sensing."
Everyone watched as a small area was cleared for Rose and the floating ball. Rose stood completely still till a spell was sent at her and a shield burst up around her. Rose smirked and hit the ground with her boot causing a loud banging sound to resound and echo through the room. The ball sent another attack and another shield burst up before it was used to attack the ball causing it to hurl back into the hall. The ball whirled around the room behind Rose who turned and jumped out of the way of another attack before sending her own causing the ball to drop to the floor. Rose pulled off the blindfold and bowed to the class as they applauded.
"That was a small demonstration but you get the basic gist," Rose said and then pulled out a small remote. She pressed a button and the ball she had knocked down along with the ones that were still in the box flew up and flew around the room before resting in the air. "Alright everyone get in groups of three and we can begin today's lesson of sensing magic, since it's a lot easier without the blind fold at first you'll basically just be getting the beginning part of the training and just trying to follow the ball and sense it's magic, they all radiate a different colored magic and if done right you should be able to see it quite clearly."
The kids quickly got up, moved the desk out of the way as had become custom in the Rose's class, and quickly got in groups of three as Rose assigned the groups different balls. As the class set to work following and learning how to sense the magic that radiated from the balls the school board member, Fudge, Lucius, Dumbledore, Umbridge, and Moody walked over to where Rose and Voldemort were standing.
"So tell us, how are these devices powered, no muggle technology can work on school grounds due to the high use of magic," Dumbledore said and Rose smirked at him.
"I know that, they're powered by magic and alien technology, you know a little of this and a little of that, these can withstand even the highest amount of magic that can be produced by this school or anyone else and still work." Rose answered as she walked over to where Harry, Draco, and Neville were. Harry and Draco had learned how to sense energies over Easter Break so they were helping Neville. By the end of class almost all of the students had sensing magic down pretty well with their sight.
"Alright I want you guys to practice till the day after tomorrow, just try and see what other people's magic looks like when you try and sense it." Rose said as the class packed up. With a small wave of her wand the classroom was back to normal and the students along with those that had come into evaluate her left, minus Harry, Draco, and Neville. "So what'd you think?"
"Good idea teaching the students how to sense magic, it'll definitely come in handy," Harry said.
"I should hope so, every living thing has magic inside it; whether or not it has the ability to use it is another thing. Muggles and squibs have magic inside them just not enough to use except in desperate cases and even then they don't believe that it was magic, animals both magic and non magical all have the ability to use magic to protect themselves or their offspring, witches, wizards, demons, psychics, and spirit detectives can use magic to do different things, but when we work in sync with our magic that is when we triumph over all others."
"Where'd you hear that?" Voldemort asked and Rose smiled at him before looking out the window.
"Adrien told me when he was explaining balance, but I first heard it from Harry's and my mom and dad."
Harry looked in shock at Rose. She very rarely spoke about the parents, the fact that she had seen both of them killed in front of her kept her quiet about them as it was a sensitive topic for her, but every once in awhile she would talk about them and Harry could see her eyes light up whenever she did. Rose shook herself out of her thoughts and turned to the group.
"You lot better get to lunch, I have a meeting with a couple of my associates that are keeping an eye on what's happening in the real world, and then I have a lesson with a Ms. Luna Lovegood." Rose said.
"Who's she?" Draco asked.
"A very special girl that has the gift of foresight, Tom would you mind going with them to lunch that way they won't get suspicious of you, just sit next to Severus, you'll be fine."
Voldemort looked up from the blue strand of hair he was glaring at and stood up. The four of them walked out of the room as a young girl with blond hair and her wand tucked behind one of her ears walked in.
"You think that was Luna?" Draco asked.
"Obviously," Harry said and the four continued to the Great Hall for lunch and smiled when they saw Lucius and Severus sitting at the end of the Slytherin table waiting for them. The twins also met them and the six went and sat with the two death eaters for lunch.
"So what do the judges think?" Neville asked Lucius as they ate.
"Well they think she's got a point in teaching the kids how to sense magic but we still have the rest of the two weeks to go before the decision is made, but it should be in our favor, I still have an excellent hold over the school board," Lucius answered.
"That and the fact that you were given the choice to choose who you thought would be good judges for this," Draco said.
"And you chose people who are loyal to you," Voldemort said now glaring at another blue strand that persistently fell over his right eye.
"Glaring at it isn't going to make it go away," said Severus as he held Harry's hand under the table with a charm over it so no one would notice.
"I can try can't I?"
Harry rolled his eyes at the now weakened and most probably ex-dark lord and continued eating his lunch as Severus, Lucius, and Voldemort discussed how Kuragari had gotten passed the wards on the death eaters' hideout. Rose and Luna chose this moment to enter and Rose walked over to Harry carrying a book that had various weapons on the cover. Luna followed her and sat down besides the twins as Rose sat by Harry and held out the book for him.
"What's this?" Harry asked as he took the book.
"It's a weapons book, I need you to look through it and see what weapons interest you, you also need to look through it Draco, and I would like it if you Neville, and the twins also looked through it." Rose said.
"How come?" Draco asked.
"I'm going to be teaching weapons to you lot for the upcoming battle between Kuragari, if he summons any dark creatures, I want you guys to be prepared to defend everyone else, you'll have to use more than magic to beat them."
"Oh, what do you fight with Rose?" Harry asked.
"Let's see well, I fist fight obviously, um swords, bow and arrow, daggers, Sesshoumaru and Kagome taught you to use those over the summer I believe, um a few other weapons, oh and my favorite weapon, my scythe." Rose answered with a smile.
"You use a scythe? Like the grim reaper scythe?" Neville asked and Rose nodded.
"The one and only, he's actually very nice when you get to know him, and he gave me my scythe as a gift."
Everyone stared at her in astonishment before Harry spoke up.
"I thought Botan was the grim reaper," Harry said.
"She's a grim reaper, there's more than one. She let me meet the head grim reaper, no not Koenma, she has three bosses. There's King Enma, Koenma, and then the head grim reaper, who looks exactly like how everybody thinks he looks, black robes and skeletony." Rose said.
"That's not even a word."
"So your point would be?"
"Nevermind."
"Did you decide on what weapons you want to train in?"
"Yep."
"Good, we'll get started this weekend, I'll bring my weapons trunk with me, right now though Severus and I have a staff meeting to attend, so talk to you lot later, and Harry, Draco, Fred, George, Tom, Lucius, behave while we're gone."
"You wound me Ms. Potter, to think I would go and create mischief like the Marauders." Lucius said and Rose raised an eyebrow.
"Yea, I seem to recall a certain story from both dad and mom that you had some dealing with a few of the pranks the marauders were involved in."
The group turned to see that Lucius was trying to unsuccessfully hide a blush that was crossing his face. Rose smirked at him and she and Severus walked off to the staff room with Rose humming a song the whole way.
---The Next Day---
Many thoughts were going through Harry's, Neville's, and Draco's head as they headed to the Defense Room for their class and one in particular stuck out.
'If what Rose said was true about Umbridge not teaching the kids anything, who would've hired her in the first place?' The three thought. They were reminded who when they saw Fudge speaking with Lucius about something at the Ministry.
'Idiot.' The three boys thought and headed into the class and took seats in the middle of the room. They took out the weapons book Rose had loaned them to continue looking through it for that weekend.
"Are you still looking for weapons?" A familiar voice asked. The three looked up and saw Voldemort standing in front of them this time glaring at his hand.
"What's wrong now?" Harry asked with an annoyed tone and Voldemort flipped his hand around to show that he had a manicure and was now sporting black nail polish. "She didn't."
"She did, she did it last night, and Nagini did nothing to help." Voldemort answered glaring at Draco and Neville as they tried to stifle their laughter.
"Oh stop being such a drama dark lord," Rose said walking over with her nose in a book.
"What did you call me?"
"A drama dark lord, V, got a problem with that?"
"You just called me V?!"
"Yea, so?"
"That sounds like a girl's nickname!"
"Your point would be?"
"Why you mangy little witch, I'll curse you back to the Founder's ti-"
Voldemort never finished his sentence as Rose slammed her hand over his mouth and stared at him.
"Now Tom, I know for a fact that if you did, you would not only blow your own cover but you would be sent to Azkaban and immediately be given the Dementor's Kiss, and as I know that dementors love wizards and witches with stronger magic in their soul, they would relish feasting upon yours, wouldn't they?"
Voldemort's eyes widened at the fact of the dementors wanting his soul magic and realized that Rose was right and mumbled through her hand.
"Want me to let you go?" asked Rose and Voldemort nodded. Rose stared at him before smirking and leaning in. "You have to promise to not blow our cover ok?" Voldemort nodded again and the three boys could see annoyance flickering in his eyes. "Good evil dark lord, for that you get a treat." Rose leaned in and kissed Voldemort on the cheek before removing her hand quickly and walking to the back of the class room humming a song. The three boys stared in shock as Rose left before looking at Voldemort who seemed to be frozen in time.
"You think he's dead?" Neville asked.
"No, I'm pretty sure he's in shock, but just in case he is...Harry you go poke him," Draco said.
"Why me, why don't you go do it?" Harry asked.
"Because I'm still terrified of him, even if he is back in a teenager's body."
"Fine, fine you big baby."
"I am not just go poke him, and see if he falls over."
"Fine"
Harry got up from the desk, waved his hand in front of Voldemort, when he didn't react he poked him, and still no reaction.
"I think he's frozen," Harry said.
"Try again," said Draco. Harry rolled his eyes and this time pushed Voldemort causing to just barely catch himself as he fell back.
"What was that for?" Voldemort asked angrily.
"You were in shock so we wanted to see if you had died from the kiss." Draco said and Voldemort touched his cheek.
"So that was real?"
"Yea, although I can't believe that it is," Harry said.
"Neither can I."
Voldemort walked off still in shock as Umbridge and the others walked in. Lucius seeing Voldemort in shock, walked over to have a brief discussion with him, which definitely helped because afterwards Voldemort snapped out of his shock and sat next to Rose a blush residing on his cheeks as he did though.
"I think Voldemort likes your sister Harry," Neville said.
"It would seem so," Harry answered with a smirk as he sat back down. The other Slytherins, plus a few Hufflepuffs, and Ravenclaws sat near them, the four house fifth year defense classes had been combined for the two weeks, as Umbridge walked up to the front.
"Hello everyone, now I know that you've been learning a bunch of nonsense from Ms. Potter," Umbridge said.
"(cough) Toad lady (cough)," Rose coughed to which a few of the kids laughed while Umbridge glared at her. "What? I didn't say anything, somebody's saying stuff, you gonna teach the class or what?"
"As I was saying, we'll start your real lessons today, so please read chapter 1 of these books I purchased for the class."
The piles of books that had been residing on the sides of the classroom flew out and landed in front of each student. Harry, Draco, and Neville looked at the books and then at Umbridge like she was crazy (which we all know she is) before opening the books and staring at the first chapter. Blaise, who was sitting behind them, raised his hand drawing everyone's attention.
"Um, excuse me but shouldn't we be actually learning defense spells because of the dark lord's return?" Blaise asked.
"Mr. Zabini, I'm sure you may have heard some rumors about the dark lord's supposed return from the Potter siblings, but I assure you this is a lie, the dark lord is dead and can not return." Umbridge said. Harry, Draco, and Neville definitely knew that Umbridge was now suffering from a serious illness known to many as... denial.
"What does she think I look like chopped liver?" Voldemort whispered to Rose who quickly covered her mouth to hide her giggle. The students began reading their text or at least they looked like they were reading, if anyone was paying attention to Harry, Draco, and Neville they would've seen that the three had pulled out the weapons book and were looking through it again. Harry looked up when he heard the familiar sound of someone trying to get into a drawer, he knew because Rose had a tendency to lose her keys to her drawers or forget which locking spell she put on a few of them and broke about half the drawers and cupboards till Harry finally told her to get a key ring and keep all of her keys on it along with a memo book which named which spells she had used. Harry wasn't sure about the spell memo book at first till Rose showed him that it was written in Youkai Japanese which, although like the regular Japanese, had differences in where the letters were placed or how the word was spelled, that and for the most part Rose wrote in kanji.
"This is very, very bad," Harry muttered and the two boys looked up to see what Harry was looking at and saw Umbridge trying to open Rose's desk drawers. The three looked back at Rose who smiled playfully at them and began twirling her key ring around on her index finger.
"Well it doesn't look like Umbridge can get in anyway," Neville said.
"It's not the other drawers I'm worried about, Rose only placed a simple locking charm on the right lower drawer before everyone walked into class and she didn't have time to place a more advanced one on it."
"Oh, that is bad, uh what is inside the drawer exactly?" Draco asked.
"I'm not quite sure, I saw Rose shove something into the drawer but she closed it before I had a really good look at it. When I asked her what was in it she said that she had to watch a friend's "pet" and I don't think it was one of the normal ones."
"Um when are her 'pets' ever normal?" Neville asked and the other two boys nodded in agreement. The three turned back to watching Umbridge try and open the drawers on Rose's desk till she reached the one that Harry was worried about. A smirk came across her face as she waved her wand and the drawer unlocked. Harry turned to Rose and gestured with his head to Umbridge and the drawer. Rose and Voldemort followed the gesture and Rose's eyes widened as she recalled that she hadn't locked the drawer completely.
"Umbridge what are you doing?" Rose asked standing up only to have Umbridge scream as she had opened the drawer and the creature inside it began shaking the desk violently. "Ah come on, I just fit her in there and you let her out, thanks a lot!"
Umbridge backed away from the desk as it shook violently and she headed towards the back of the room making no effort to tell the students to move. The desk stopped shaking for a minute before one long serpent head and neck appeared from the drawer followed by a second and a third before the creature began shaking the desk again, this time to get out of the drawer it had been confined to. This time the students saw the creature and yells and screams were let out as the creature roared at them. The wizards and witches in the back of the room quickly drew their wands only to have Rose spell them from their hands.
"Don't you bakas, if you kill her I'll be in trouble," Rose said as Harry, Draco, and Neville walked over to the group.
"Then what do you suggest we do, why is that thing even here in the first place?" Dumbledore asked.
"I'm babysitting her for a friend, now if you don't mind I need to stop her before my desk is destroyed."
Rose walked to the front of the classroom and the creature roared at her.
"Oh calm down, I couldn't very well have you in my rooms now could I?" Rose asked the creature seemed to shrug before growling and roaring in quieter tones this time. "Yes I know it's uncomfortable when your necks get stuck, I'll get you out right now ok, but you have to promise not eat anyone here, alright?"
"Is she actually talking to that thing?" Umbridge asked.
"It would seem so, why were you going through the desk anyway?" Lucius asked glaring at Umbridge.
"No reason I was looking for a place to place my papers when the class was done with it."
"Technically you're not even a teacher here and the desk belongs to Ms. Potter so why would you leave your papers in here knowing full well that they could be thrown out?" Moody asked Umbridge to which she did not respond. Harry, Draco, and Neville meanwhile had walked to the front of the classroom and were helping Rose get the drawer open.
"Darn it, the drawer is jammed, I must've shoved it closed to hard, poor baby no wonder you're grumpy besides having your nap disturbed," Rose said before sighing. "Harry will you please go to the back of the room and retrieve the black handled knife that I have in the weapons cabinet?"
"Ok," Harry said and walked to the back where the others were and heard Moody and Lucius biting Umbridge's head off for not only going through the drawers but not staying to protect the students. Harry quickly grabbed the knife Rose had requested and rejoined her at the desk. After handing her said knife she jammed it into the side of the drawer and began wiggling it around. When an audible thunk was heard Rose sighed with relief and took the knife out of drawer and placed it back in its sheath. Harry, Rose, Draco, and Neville then grabbed the drawer and pulled with all their might pulling it out of the desk allowing the creature inside the drawer to roar in happiness and the three heads came down and nuzzled Rose as the creature climbed out.
"Yes, yes you're very happy now get off me," Rose said as she playfully pushed the heads away before the one of three each went to Harry, Draco, and Neville. "Ah Serena likes you Harry."
"Serena?" Harry asked as the middle head kept nuzzling against his chest he noticed that the three heads connected to one singular body that resembled that of a dragon without wings.
"Yep, her owner named each head, Draco has Moon, and Neville has Celestial, don't ask about the names, her owner is weird."
"What is she exactly?"
"Don't you know, she's a hydra, a rather young one at that, the sixth in a litter of nine, she only had one head when she was born but got it cut off when she was little or so her owner told me and he said whenever she gets a new head he'll name that one too. Come on let's get her out onto the grounds, maybe Hagrid will want to meet her."
Harry, Draco, and Neville followed Rose to the back of the room trying to push the three heads away whenever they came down to nuzzle the boys.
"Are the always this touchy feely?" Draco asked and Rose laughed.
"Nope, you're just lucky, my friend uses them as guards along with a three headed dog Cerberus I think is his name, read up on your muggle mythology they should be in there or read it in one of the magical creature texts."
"Why is it almost everything manages to turn into you recommending a book for us to read?"
"Just lucky I guess."
"Ms. Potter a word please," said one of the wizards that had come to evaluate Rose and Umbridge. Rose walked over with Harry, Draco, Neville, and the hydra behind her. Voldemort came over and stood besides the boys as the one that had addressed Rose spoke to the group. "After today and yesterday there seems to be no reason to go on with this trial, we have seen all that we have needed to see. We shall tell you right now who and why we think should take the position as Defense teacher."
"Well out with it please," Umbridge said. The five board members, Lucius, and Moody whispered amongst themselves before turning to the group.
"A vote between the seven of us has decided that due to her lessons we have decided that the teacher for the remainder of the year at Hogwarts is going to have to be..."
---TBC---
And cut! Oh I'm so mean, I know everyone hates a cliffhanger but I think this is the longest chapter I've ever written for this story so far so I hope you guys liked it. There is a small movie reference to the training spheres Rose was using only they are used differently in the movie than the story, if you can tell me what the movie was you get a cookie and a Severus and Harry doll! (holds up plate of cookies and a Severus doll and Harry doll hugging.)
Voldemort: Do I even want to know where you got those dolls?
Nope, and no I do not own any Greek mythology or the hydra or three headed dogs, if I did I would have them guarding my computer and my room and I could get a ride anywhere I wanted with them. I hope you guys look forward to the next chapter a few more witches and wizards make an appearance and something about the three boys families' pasts are revealed.
Oh quick note, I am thinking of writing another Harry Potter story this time with Harry having three sisters who were raised by three different families instead of the Dursleys, the three families are from a different movie and two TV shows, and Harry meets his sisters in his sixth year after everything has happened in his fifth year, and I'll have surprise with Sirius. If you think this sounds like a good idea for a story then tell me in your review please and if you ask I'll tell you who the other families are or you can take a guess. I'll have a better summary for the story idea in the next chapter.
Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter, thanks for reading and reviewing, and remember more reviews means the quicker I update, so please review, bye-bye, see you in the next chapter.
