An: Sorry this took so long. I own nothing *sob*
Tinkerbell and Claws
Rogue and Kitty smirked at Harry. He was watching Hermione eat, and kept licking his lips.
"So, Kitty and I want to get back at Bobby and Pyro for a prank they pulled. You want to help?"
"Sure what did you have in mind?" Harry smiled evilly at them, and they knew Bobby and Pyro would not know what hit them.
"Well, Bobby can control ice and Pyro well fire obviously. Well they made the hall into an ice slick. Pyro set all the clocks ahead an hour so we woke up early thinking we were all late for classes. You can guess what happened."
"Like any ideas on how to get back at them?"
"Pigeon hole. Makes a hell of a mess, but the results are quite a sight."
"It wouldn't hurt them would it?" Rogue asked anxiously, Bobby was her boyfriend after all.
"No, you string cord through the room so they have to move the strings to get out. Well when they move one something like water or syrup falls on them. Then have something like leaves or feathers fall on the one with the sticky stuff when they try to open the door. Coat the floor in goo so they slip into even more strings."
"Like OMG, Hermione was right you are genius. But won't they like expect that."
"We could knock them out and leave them somewhere safe, take their keys, phones and wallets. Then staple a treasure map to their chests leading to the missing item." Harry said with a very evil grin.
"Yeah, but where is a safe place to put them?"
"Hummm...I will have to ask Logan about that property up in Canada." Harry said rubbing his lip, in thought. "Of course this all depends on how mean you want to get."
"Well we don't want to hurt em', just get back at em." Harry nodded thoughtfully.
"Pigeon hole then. What kind of sleepers are they?" Thus the plans for Pyro and Bobby's humiliation were under way.
Remus was finishing up his breakfast when a thought occurred to him.
"Are there electronics installed into the walls around this place?"
"Yeah, CCTV cameras. We use them to monitor the wall."
"I will have to keep the shields and wards back from the wall." Remus muttered rubbing at his stubbly chin.
"The kids can help with any physical part that needs to be done."
"Might be some minor digging it that. I will need Harry and Hermione; it will be good practice for them. How has he performed as far as his magic?"
"He hasn't used any yet. I had him using his claws, in the danger room. Tink un-shrunk his luggage for him the other night. Why?"
"I am curious to see how powerful his is now. That power charm masked how strong he really is. Now don't get me wrong Harry is powerful for his age even with the charm in place. I think he would now be frighteningly scary now."
"Being able to produce a corporeal Patronus, I would say you are very close to being correct." Hank said rubbing at his bottom lip absently.
"Well only one way to find out. Is there someplace close that I can show the children, what spells we will be using?"
"Yeah I'll take you out there. The kids should be done by now." Logan said putting his coffee cup in the dishwasher.
Remus and Logan entered the cafeteria. Remus pulled up short when he spotted Harry and the girls with their heads very close together.
"Merlin's baggy pants! Logan they are planning a prank." Logan looked over and humphed
"Icecube and Pyro like to pull pranks. Serve em right if they got pranked back."
"Oh. You have unchallenged pranksters. We should never introduce them to Fred and George. They took over for the Marauders at Hogwarts."
"Huh... Claws, Tink. Come on you two are going to help." Both teens nodded and quickly finish their conversation with Rogue and Kitty.
Harry and Hermione made their way to the hall with Remus and Logan.
"So the Professor suggested that we take our placement test this morning and help with the wards in the afternoon."
"Oh good that will work out ok. Logan can show me all of the grounds so I know how big the wards are going to be and you can take your tests. So, good sir led on." Logan nodded, and then turned on Harry.
"I expect ya to do your best. Ya got your mother's brains use 'em, I'll know if ya don't."
"Yes, Logan."
Once both teens were sitting their tests with Storm, Logan led Remus out to the back patio to start showing the ground to him.
"The way you were speaking with Harry, one would think that you had raised a child before."
"I have no idea, lost my memories about fifteen years back. So I could have, but I do get a lot of practice here."
"I see. If you don't mind me asking, how did you lose your memories?"
"I don't know that either, I just remember waking up on an island, with a dead woman not far from me." Logan said absently, leading the way to the west end of the property. "I thought we would start here and work our way around to the back going east."
"Sounds good. I did not know the property was so large." Remus said looking around in awe. "I think with everything, the school and surrounding area is just a bit larger then Hogwarts."
"Yeah it is pretty big. I make the kids run most of the grounds every day." Logan said with a grin and Remus gave him a surprised look.
Harry, after the first two tests, could swear that Storm was just out to torture them. He was looking at what he thought was algebra equation, but he had never seen one in detail. He could feel Claws wanting to shred the test in frustration.
Hermione notice first that Harry was growling at his test.
"Claws, take a breath." Storm looked up at the two teens and shot Hermione a questioning look. She gasped when she heard faintly the low growl coming from Harry.
"Harry, it's all right we do not expect you to be able to complete the entire test. This is just to see where you are at academically. If you don't finish it is ok."
"Oh. Then I am done with part of the test. I am getting a headache from it." Harry said as he handed Storm the math portion of the test.
"Thank you. Why don't you go get us some water and a few pieces of fruit before we start the next part of the tests?"
"Sure, what kind of fruit would you like?"
"Orange or a banana." Harry nodded and slipped out of the room.
Storm looked at Hermione as she finished up her test as well.
"He gets frustrated easily?" She asked as she accepted Hermione's test.
"Sometimes, especially if he is sure he can get the answer but it won't come to him."
"You seem to know how he behaves academically."
"I should, I go over most of his school work at Hogwarts." Storm nodded. "Don't get me wrong Claws is very smart. He is just all practical application, rather than academic."
"Hum...Logan is much the same way. Logan does not show it much but he is very intelligent, but would rather let others find out for themselves."
"It's like he is testing people to see who he can really trust."
"I believe that is part of it, but also if people underestimate him, that makes his chance of survival that much greater." Hermione nodded her understanding.
Harry was digging in the refrigerator looking for fruit and water, when Hank came into the kitchen.
"Claws I thought you were taking your placement tests?"
"Oh, I got frustrated with the math portion of the test so we are taking a small break before we start the next round of test."
"Ah!" Hank said absently.
"What is the matter Doctor?"
"Oh, just worried about the wards being set up."
"Not to worry we are going to set them up this afternoon. Moony knows what he is doing."
"You have a lot of faith in him."
"He was the only one to try to teach me to protect myself. He is an honorary uncle." Harry said smiling at Hank.
"I am sure he would be very pleased to hear that." Harry looked down at his feet, looking very uncomfortable. Hank just chuckled before helping Harry find what he was looking for in the refrigerator.
"You take the children's personal fitness very seriously."
"I take their personal safety very seriously. Those that can fight I expect to be able to do so and protect the others. Those that can't I expect to be able to out run their attacker till they can find help."
"And Harry?" Remus said with some concern.
"I expect him to be as good in a fight as I am, if not better."
"Hank has told me about your some of your exploits. Do you really expect him to be that good?"
"He has the potential to be, possibly better with his extra abilities. Why you think I will turn him into a weapon?" Logan said arching a brow at Remus. "Hate to tell you this but I have been on the receiving end of things like that. But I'll be damned if I let anyone do that Claws." Remus nodded hearing the conviction in Logan's voice.
"Good, because he needs someone that has his best interests at heart. I let him down without even realizing what I had done."
"Hum...So this is about the middle of the west wall. Now if you look down either way you can see where it stops and turns to the east."
Both men took about thirty minutes to walk all the way around the perimeter of the property and that was with Logan pushing Remus to go faster.
Hank escorted Harry back to the class room to check on the progress of the tests.
"Well you Claws here we are."
"So did you and Remus grow up together?" Harry asked tilting his head to the side.
"Well no, but we spent many summers together. That was how I met your adopted father and godfather."
"I have a house elf friend that called Sirius my dogfather. Sirius loved it."
"I had not heard about the new nickname. Well let's get you back to your test." Hank said as he held the door open for Harry.
"Oh, good I was wondering if you had run away." Storm said with a slight smile.
"Ahh Ororo I came to see what progress the children have made?"
"Well they have finished the history, math and science. All they have left is English, and the I.Q. test."
"Excellent. That should have you finished by lunch. I will let Logan and Remus know."
"Wait a minute Hank would you be willing to supervise while I throw the first test through the grader?"
"Be glad too. Which one do you want them to take first?" Hank said looking over both of the test.
"Well you two you have decided so far which one to tackle next. Which will it be?" Harry and Hermione looked at each other.
"Well I know Hermione is dying to take the I.Q. test, so let's start with that one." Hank nodded, passing the agreed upon tests to them.
An: R&R. Thanks to all the readers for hanging in there with me. :)
