Harry woke up the next morning startled to find he was in a car. As he opened his eyes and the memories of the night before sunk in he realized that the car was stopped in front of a petrol station. "Good to see your up sleepy head," McGonagall laughed, "did you sleep well?" "Yeah actually I did," he said stretching as well as he could in the backseat, "so where is everyone else?" "Oh Professor Snape is just there filling the gas tank," she replied gesturing to the side of the car, "And Alisia and the headmaster are in the station getting all of us some breakfast and snacks." "Oh okay," he said leaning back in his seat, "so how long will we be in car for professor?" "I would imagine we could be in the car for two or four days. We will be alternating the driving responsibilities so we should get to Star Cottage relatively quick," she explained as the others got back into the car and they headed off again.
"Well I say it's very lucky we found the lemon drops Headmaster. Who knows what would happen if you had to wait till we got to my house to get them," Alisia said as she handed a few of the sweets to Dumbledore. "I would rather not thank about something so horrible, he chuckled. "I think it might do you some good to not eat so many of those infernal sweets," Snape quipped from his backseat. "I wouldn't think it would do me any good Severus," Dumbledore replied as he turned the radio on from his driver's seat. Though Harry expected the radio to be turned to a muggle station he didn't expect to find that McGonagall and McDore were actually very good singers and seat dancers!
You took be off to Boston, put a baby on my knee, left me to dangle dingle so far from Tennessee. Now Patrick might've been one, but you ain't been no Saint. But a good ole Irish bot they say will always have his drinkā¦
As the two witches finished their song, McGonagall turned the radio off and turned around to address the others. "I love that song," she said looking at Alisia. "I do to! I just love American songs," she exclaimed. "What are you staring at Potter," Severus asked looking at the boy he was staring Bug-eyed at the two female professors? "I didn't know you could sing Professor McGonagall, or that you even knew any muggle songs," he said. "I'm sure there is a lot you don't know about your professors," Alisia replied, "Hogwarts Professors are very quiet and private people." "I believe we have very good reason to not share our private lives with the dunderheads," Snape snapped. "Now Severus," Albus chastised. "Do you really have to start this now," Minerva sighed. "Oh mind your manners Sev," Alisia snapped back, "I've warned you once and if I have to get on to you one more time well you can just guess." The professor never elaborated what her punishment would be but rather left it for speculation as Severus turned to the window and mumbled, "4 to 1 damn this bloody mission."
