'Thoughts'
'Eventual Telepathy'
Ed woke up to someone poking his cheek, calling to him to wake up. "Ed~ wake up~. It's time to go to Hogsmeade." The voice whispered, poking him harder this time. The voice sighed and said quite loudly "Shorty." That woke him up. "WHO ARE YOU CALLING SHORTY?!" Ed yelled and fell out of bed, not realizing just how close to the edge he was and glared at Amethyst's laughing toy face. "I should ask McGonagall to teach me how to do transfiguration... What am I saying?! That is one of the things I REFUSE to know!" Ed exclaimed as he stood up and walked to his closet to change. Glancing at the clock, Ed threw on a black long sleeved shirt, black jeans, black combat boots, his white gloves, and a red hoodie. Slipping his pocket watch on and his wand into a holster on his left arm, Ed put his hair into a ponytail and left the room with Amethyst, saying goodbye to Al's portrait and to not get in trouble before walking to Chris' room.
Chris, as usual, was awake, and currently walking out of her room as well. Chris was wearing a dark blue long sleeved button up shirt, white skinny jeans, blue and white sneakers, and a long black coat. Ed took note of how Chris was looking slightly worried, probably knowing about Amethyst already. "Hey Ed." "Hey Chris. I assume you know about this already?" Ed pointed to Amethyst, to which Chris nodded and took the stuffed wolf from him. Ed and Chris walked outside and met the fifth years at the entrance, walking to Hogsmeade to explore and find the Hogshead. "Hey, look over there!" Amethyst said as she hung from Chris' shoulder, carefully pointing to a group of students walking into a building labeled "The Hogshead", talking quite loudly and not being wary of the people that could be listening. "Their idiots for talking on the way in." Chris stated sadly "What's better their all our students." Ed replied angrily as they walked into the pub, silencing the conversation that had been taking place. Everyone turned to see who had walked in.
Harry P.O.V.
Ron, Hermione, and I watched as our friends and classmates walked into the Hogshead. I still don't entirely think it's a good idea to have someone like ME teach everyone the proper defense magic that we should be doing. I mean, really, how good of a teacher will I be if nearly the entire student body doesn't like me or believe me on the simplest of facts? I really hope Ed and Chris can make it... I don't think we give them a proper tour of Hogsmeade. We didn't give them one at all! Now I REALLY hope they find their way. "Alright, now, we all know why we're here." Hermione started confidently then looked nervously at Ron, then me and continued. "We need a teacher. Not someone who treats us like children and does nothing like Professor Umbridge."
"Well then, who do you suggest?" Someone called out. "Well, we were thinking someone like Harry." Hermione answered looking at me once more. That was when all hell broke lose. Very one started talking over one another, trying to get their opinion across, most wanting to know about the truth behind Cedric's death. Just then the door opened, revealing the faces of the two people I had been hoping would come. "Ed, Chris, you made it." I said loudly, halting the chaotic conversation to turn everyone's attention to the new arrivals. Ed and Chris remained quiet for quite some time, making me, Ron, and Hermione nervous at their silence. "We could hear you from outside. Keep your voices down next time and the ministry witch won't get involved. For now." Chris stated as she crossed her arms with an unamused look on her face as she slipped into "Professor Mode", as our classmates had dubbed it whenever Chris became serious and was NOT joking around.
She was like that sometimes around the castle before her and Ed's class started or ended and when certain teachers were around. "So, word on the street is that you guys need a teacher for defense. We can help with that, but not entirely with the magic you know." Ed finished with a wolffish grin as he nodded towards Harry. Chris smirked waved her hand, making blue lightening dance around her fingertips. "Is it true that you can perform a full body Patronus?" Luna suddenly asked, making everyone turn towards me with disbelief, curiosity, and awe. "Yes, he has. I've seen it before." Hermione added with a bright smile. Free we explained to everyone what to do for the time being and they signed a parchment Hermione had charmed we returned to the castle, taking note of Umbridge standing by the clock, watching us as we walked through the entrance.
I can tell that Ed and Chris are already suspicious of Umbridge, and I can't wait until they visit her class next, I wouldn't even be surprised if they had a list of teachers to meet and annoy or help. As such we also need to find a place to practice our magic in secret, Ed explained that Umbridge would check the classroom if we practice there, and Chris pointed out that the Forbidden Forest was forbidden to us but we could be allowed to enter if we took some kind of field trip there. Just before I turned to go to the Gryffindor common room, Hermione and Ron stopped me and held up a piece of paper.
Hey Harry!
Listen, we have to talk to you. Bring Ron, Hermione ad whoever you trust enough not to blow our cover or reveal where we're staying. The password is 'Alphonse' if you visit me and 'Shadow Siren' for Chris. See you in one hour, Private Green.
-Ed ;)
