An: I own nothing.

Tinkerbell and Claws

Remus and Arthur returned to the headmaster's office, with thoughtful looks on their faces.

"Remus there is no telling when he ran away. He could have bolted the night he got home."

"Arthur, it doesn't make sense. He knew he would be in terrible danger if he left. It's just not like him to drop everything." Remus said shaking his head.

"We have more bad news, I spoke with the bank and they said that Harry had been there for a meeting. After that he left, they did not say if he was alone or not." Dumbledore announced.

"What did Bill have to say about it?" Arthur said quickly

"He said that if he said anything they would fire him and that he really could not remember anything out of place."

"Damn well it is too late to do anything right now. We should pick this up tomorrow?" Remus asked. Everyone nodded.

"If it's alright I am going to sleep at the order house." Remus said looking at Dumbledore, who nodded.

Remus no sooner got out of the fire, when he heard a voice behind him.

"Remus have I caught you at a bad time?"

"Hank! No, yes, I don't know! What can I help you with?"

"A new mutant has shown up with an attribute that the parent was not able to pass on. He is also a wizard; would his magic make that attribute passable even though it should not be?"

"Parent is a bit panicked no doubt. Is the attribute something well know about the parent? Would it be surprising if the off spring did not have it?"

"Well know yes. Surprising no, again this is something that was done to the parent and would not have passed normally."

"Magic can be complicated. Is the parent famous for it?"

"Yes."

"Then yes." Remus said with some hesitation.

"The attribute is a metal skeleton; do you think the boy would be able to grow normally?"

"I think yes. Might be some terrible growing pains."

"Oh dear, that won't be good. I have not tested the metal yet but would it be the same as the parent's?"

"Possibly, or it would be a common metal that was enhanced to be identical to the parents. Is the metal special that is in the parent?"

"Yes. It is the hardest metal on earth; it can cut through everything like a hot knife through butter. To even use it, it has to be in liquid form. The parent said it was excruciating to have done. The boy woke with no pain at all from the new metal in his system."

"If the boy was in tune with magic enough or powerful enough, his magic may have made the process painless. He would be able to grow to his normal height. With new magic students, would your school need a teacher?" Remus asked looking hopeful.

"Still looking for work, Remus? They are so backward there. It is ridiculous how they treat you." Beast said with loathing.

"Yes, but I have been trying to get a teaching job again. I found that I actually liked teaching." Remus said with a sad smile.

"But because of your furry little problem, they won't let you." Hank sighed. "I would have to disclose your condition, if I were to suggest you as a teacher." He said gravely.

"I understand Hank trust me."

"Let me see what I can do."

"Alright and thank you Hank for trying for me."

"You're welcome and good night."

The Professor waited for Beast to gather his thoughts about his conversation with his cousin. Hank looked a bit pensive.

"Well, the good news is that Claws should be able to grow normally, he may have some overly painful growing pains."

"I am sure Claws will be able to cope with the pain. Did he think that the metal was the same as Logan's or different?"

"Possibly or a common metal that his magic enhanced to be just like it." Hank sat in though again. He started to ask about a teaching job for his cousin, but stopped each time.

"What is it Hank?"

"With Claws and Hermione, do you think we would need another teacher skilled in magic?"

"We would have to insure that he is not connected to the children's Headmaster."

"He also has a condition. There is no easy way to say this but his is a werewolf. He has a potion that makes him harmless when he changes."

"I am sure we can put precautions in place for his condition. But how to insure that he will not betray the children?" The Professor said thoughtfully.

"He may agree to an unbreakable vow. If he violates this vow, his own magic would kill him instantly." Hank frowned when he said this.

"My that is a bit drastic."

"If he knows Ms. Granger or Claws are here he may be willing to do it. Also it would keep the rest of the children safe."

"We will have to hear the children out on this and Logan of course."

"Nothing else to be done tonight. Good night Professor."

"Good night Hank."

Harry woke to the sound of very upset tapping on the window; Logan was standing in the doorway looking grumpy.

"What the hell is making that noise?"

"Sorry, must be Hedwig." Harry said quickly getting to the window to let the disgruntled owl in. Hedwig promptly found the back of the one chair in the whole room and perched on it with her back turned to him. "Ahh come on Hedwig. Don't be mad, I was really tired and fell asleep right away. I sorry." Hedwig simply ignored Harry.

"Like getting a girl to talk to you when their pissed at ya. Good luck with the bird." Logan said stretching his shoulders and rolling his neck.

"Thanks I am going to need it. Last time she would not look at me for two whole months."

"Bird that holds a grudge, who'd a thought."

"Can I grab a quick shower?"

"Yah. It will give me time to wake up."

"Thanks Logan."

While Harry was in the shower, Logan looked over his cub's clothes with great disgust.
'Damn his cousin's a whale! Why is everything gray? Does the kid even have pants that fit? That's it the kids shirts are shredded.' Logan promptly shredded every single shirt that would make Harry look like he was swimming in cloth. He quickly pulled one of his own white t-shirt out and left it on the bed for Harry to find. He then gathered the pieces of cloth and headed for the kitchen and coffee after he made a quick stop at the garage to drop off the new polishing rags.

Hermione woke and decided that it was time to get up and find some tea. After changing back into her clothes from yesterday, not that she wanted to wear them again, she crept out into the hallway and hoped she could remember how they got to the room.

Hermione finally found the kitchen again, after getting turned around a few times. 'Place is like a maze. I am surprised that they do not lose kids in this house!' Hermione giggled at the thought. She blinked at all the bright light coming into the kitchen area.

"Would you like some tea?" Storm asked once Hermione got her vision back.

"Oh, Bless you. Yes please." Hermione said quickly grabbing a cup. Storm filled her cup, and Hermione sniffed the hot liquid with an appreciative sigh.

"It's nice to have someone else in the school that appreciates a good cup of tea."

"I am British, tea is a religious observance." Hermione said with a wide grin. Storm laughed, almost choking on her tea.

Logan came walking mumbling about coffee. He went to the fridge and grabbed three eggs then cracked them into a glass. Hermione and Storm watch is disgust as he downed the raw eggs in one gulp. He then grabbed a large mug and poured himself some coffee.

*gag* Hermione tried desperately to not throw up. "Oh Gods that is so gross, you have put me off my tea." Harry walked in freshly shaved and showered. Hermione could not take her eyes off him.

"It's a guy thing Tink *kiss* by the way Logan what happened to all of my over-sized shirts?" Harry asked with a small grin. Logan smiled impishly at Harry.

"Oh. You mean the new polishing rags?"

The three other mutants laughed, while Logan sipped his coffee smugly.

"Thanks for the use of the shirt; it's nice to wear something that fits better." Harry said with a rueful smile, as he sipped his own tea.

"We'll fix that soon as you two eat." Logan said looking pointedly at Harry, who simply nodded.

An: So everyone agrees that Hermione needs another power, but what should it be? Please review :)
