This is where the fun begins. Even though I'm completely tired from lack of sleep and to stubborn to go to sleep at a normal time, I decided that I speed up updates. And just because I'm a bit bored and I already finished my book. SO, on with the story!!!

~Chapter 2~

Minerva left her classroom so Albus could finish work. Minerva thought that she would test him last. Or until he finished her markings. Minerva thought for a moment. She had already seen three. One was at breakfast, one leaving for the Ministry, and one in her classroom. Each has something that is different from the real Albus. Minerva thought. That could mean both in appearance or behavior.

Minerva saw an Albus wearing bright purple robes coming her way. Minerva walked up beside him and pulled his ear. Albus didn't yell. But just smiled. Minerva rolled her eyes and let go of his ear. "I have a question." Albus nodded his head for her to continue, so she did. "When I choose the right one, what happens?"

"Well if you get it correct all the other Albus's will disappear and the real Albus, which is me will have to live for a week with a zipper on my mouth and only you can let me speak for that whole week." He smiled brightly, as did Minerva. A whole week with Albus not talking. And Minerva being in control. That was a great prize.

Minerva strolled down the halls looking for other Dumbledore's. Minerva went back to the Great Hall. Many were still there. Minerva could see an Albus talking to one of the teachers. Minerva walked up to the staff table with all eyes on her. Some student smiled brightly as they knew that she was playing the game. Minerva came up to Albus and took his ear and dragged him halfway through the room. He yelled. She smiled to herself. But then frowned.

"Will you and the others change robes?" Minerva asked. If they did, that would just get her confused. But she thought that it was probably yes. She knew Albus to well. And she was correct.

"Yes. But it's your choice on how you will mark us for being wrong." Albus rubbed his ear. Minerva smiled. My choice of marking.She thought. She could get Albus back for this. She took out her wand and flicked her wrist. This made Albus's hair go up into a lovely French twist. Albus looked at Minerva in disbelief. "Why would you do such a thing?!" He yelled.

"If Albus wants a game I'll give him a game. He should have thought twice about this. And besides you're not Albus." Minerva pointed out.

"And what makes you think that I'm not the real Albus?" He smiled slyly.

"Because if you were Albus, which you're not, you would have loved it when I pulled on your ear. Because it makes you frisky." Minerva smiled as he frowned. Minerva disappeared behind the doors to look for other Dumbledore's.

"Frisky when your ear is yanked?" Ron looked at Hermione and then to Harry. "Dumbledore is weirder than I thought." Harry shook his head in agreement.

Minerva decided to head for her and Albus's room. Minerva opened the door and she was correct. Albus was there and was reading. He looked like the real Albus. Minerva walked up to him. Albus smiled at her. He closed his book and rose from his chair and pecked Minerva on the lips. Minerva smiled.

"Hello my dear. How is your day going so far?" Albus sat back down and Minerva pulled up a chair. She smiled at him. He seemed like the right one. Minerva leaned back and studied him. He only chuckled as he looked at her.

"Do you like lemon drops?" Minerva asked. Minerva highly doubted that Albus would have any one of his clones hate lemon drops, but it was a start.

"Yes I do."

"Do you like helping the Ministry?" Minerva knew that it would take time for her to find out ways to tell them apart, so she rushed the questions a bit.

"Not really but it would be rude of me to not to help them when they ask for help."

"What do you think of this school?"

"One of the best there is."

"How do you feel about kids?"

"I love children, but I love you more than anything in the world." Albus said. Minerva tapped her finger on the knee. She rose from her chair and left the room. There were so many of one person. There were only five. But one mistake could bring it back to six. And yes it was true the first one was easy, but they would be more difficult.

Minerva walked into Albus's study and found one of them talking to Fawkes. Minerva observed him. He seemed like he was the real Albus. Talking to a bird and eating lemon drops but then something caught her eyes. She looked at his feet. He was wearing black socks. Minerva smiled. The real Albus would never wear black socks.

Minerva pointed her wand and his hair wrapped itself in a sloppy bun. He looked at Minerva. Minerva didn't want to explain her great skill of observation and so she left the room before he could talk. Minerva smiled. Two were out of the game. She remembered that one Albus had left. And knew that it couldn't be him. She remembered that he wasn't wearing a wedding ring. And Albus would never take it off unless forced.

Minerva looked out the nearest window. Albus was walking by the lake. Minerva walked down the stairs. Students and Teachers were heading out as well. Minerva took a minute and watched Albus walk by the lake. Severus came up beside her smiling.

"Will he be in trouble?" Severus smiled.

"Of course! He knows that these childish games just makes me aggravated." Minerva was surprised to hear Severus laugh.

"It might make you upset at times, but you do notice that you have fun." Severus did have a point. Minerva did like few of the games. "He only does this because you work too hard, not because he likes to torture you."

"Yes, I know." Minerva sighed.

"By the way, that is the real Albus." Minerva turned to look at him. "But if you want to wait go ahead and question the others." Severus smiled and walked back into the castle.

Minerva looked back over to Albus. What if Severus was right? She could end all of this right now and she really wasn't in the mood for this. But then again Severus could have lied to her. Minerva stared at him and made her choice. "You're the real Dumbledore?" As soon as the words escaped her lips another Albus had popped up.

"Damn you Severus!" She yelled. Some students laughed but as Minerva turned and glared at them they all became quiet. She shook her head. That's what I get for listening to him. But then she smiled. She ran back into the castle and found Albus wondering through the hall.

"Albus, you said that all of the Dumbledore's had to do my work, correct?" Minerva asked enthusiastically.

"Well yes. That was the plan." Albus looked a bit confused. Minerva seemed to be very thrilled.

"Fantastic!" Minerva smiled. She whispered in Albus's ear. Albus smiled as well and cleared his voice. He then began to sing.

"Severus and Gilderoy sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G" Albus sang extremelywell and walked down the hall singing it as loud as possible. Minerva took out her wand and his hair was put into a French twist. The real Albus couldn't sing, even to save his life.

BBBBBBBLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! MMAD RULEZ!!!
