Chapter 15: Hobbies
Classes continued on during the month of January. Morrigan was busy with her detention, which ended on Sunday, her school work, and trying to keep away from Quidditch obsessed students. Gods, what was it about a game that made students go all wonky. During Charms Morrigan worked on the tapping charm that Assistant Lupin handed out. Professor Flitwick was sick with the flu and so Lupin was asked to cover his classes.
"I hope their paying him," Morrigan said when the class ended.
"Of course they are," Pansy said, "Do you think that Dumbledore allows staff to work for free."
"Of course not," Morrigan said, "Just a thought that I had."
"Don't mind Pansy," Tracy said, "You didn't know that he was paying him."
She gave Pansy a warning and the three girl's headed back to their common room to dump their stuff and head to the Great Hall.

"I was wondering a few things," McGonagall said to Snape in the teachers lounge.
They both had dismissed their classes early because most of the students had gotten finished, one of the wonders of teaching N.E.W.T classes. They already knew how things were done and they didn't have to be told.
"And what's that?" Snape asked.
"Well when term ends Morrigan will be coming home to the manor," McGonagall said. "I have no idea what to give her that will keep her occupied."
"She likes horse riding," Snape said.
"I know that, but other things," McGonagall said.
Snape thought about this and then said, "Why don't you ask her what else that she likes."
"Do you think I should?" McGonagall asked.
Snape rolled his eyes and then answered, "Yes, you should."
"Thanks, I'll do that," McGonagall said and then she went back to her lunch.
That night both Snape and McGonagall were in Dumbledore's office. They hadn't talked to the old coot in sometime but they needed to know how things were going with figuring out who had attacked Hermione. Mad-Eye was there, an Auror on the verge of retiring.
"So I heard that you gave Albus here what for," he growled.
"Yes," McGonagall said, looking pleased.
"Don't give her any clue that you respect that," Dumbledore said.
"I think it's funny," Moody said, "You getting what's coming to you."
Dumbledore glared at him and then Moody asked, "So how is Miss Potter. I heard that she was sorted into Slytherin."
"Well," Snape said.
"Good," Moody said, "Now we know that Miss Granger is hated by most everyone in Gryffindor House. Why's that?"
"I think it's because she's friends with Morrigan," McGonagall suspected.
"Morrigan, what an odd name for a child," Moody growled.
Both Snape and McGonagall looked at each other and finally Snape asked, "What's so odd about her name?"
"Morrigan is the name of the old Celtic goddess of war, death, strife, and sovereignty of the land. It's believed that she flew over the battlefield in the form of a raven. It seems that Lily was a little odd in naming her child after a war goddess."
"Well I happen to love the name," McGonagall said.
"I'm not saying that I'm against her name. I'm just saying that it was odd that Lily named her daughter that. Now, I'm planning on visiting Gryffindor Tower to talk to those in the house. I'll find out who attacked Miss Granger."
"I'll give you the password," McGonagall said, "And take you there myself."
He nodded and both of them left.

"So what are your plans for the summer?" Tracy asked Morrigan and Pansy.
"I'm staying with McGonagall and I don't know what she's going to have me do," Morrigan said.
"I'm going to Spain to visit family," Pansy answered, "They have a very posh manor. Personally I feel bad for you, Morrigan."
"What are you talking about?" Morrigan asked.
"That you have to stay with the head of Gryffindor House," Pansy answered.
Morrigan glared at her and then said, "At least I'm not going to be staying with my Aunt and Uncle. They abused me, or have you forgotten."
"They abused you."
"Never mind," she said.
"Well I think that it's great that she doesn't have to go back," Tracy said, "I'll take being adopted by the Head of Gryffindor House then being around magic hating relations."
"Thanks," Morrigan said.
"So do you think that you'll be able to tell old McGonagall what you want to do during the summer?" Tracy asked her.
"I don't know," Morrigan answered, "I mean, I like horseback riding, which I don't doubt that she'll let me do, but I don't know what else I like."
Both Tracy and Pansy stared at her.
"I don't really have any hobbies," she confessed.
"Well you should get some," Pansy suggested.
"Oh and how am I supposed to do that when the Dursley's made sure that I had nothing to peak my interest."
"Maybe she'll have something at the manor that you'll like," Tracy said.
"Maybe," Morrigan agreed.

When McGonagall dropped Moody off at Gryffindor Tower, she went with him inside. It was packed with students and they all turned and looked at them as they entered. McGonagall looked around and saw that Miss Granger wasn't there.
"Where's Miss Granger at?" Moody demanded.
"I don't know," said someone.
"You better tell us where she's at before I suspend everyone here," McGonagall demanded.
"She went to the Library, Professor," said Neville Longbottom.
McGonagall saw Moody's eye moving around and then he said, "She's in the Library."
"Good," McGonagall said, "Now Alister will be talking to each one of you due to Miss Granger being attacked."
A couple students snickered and McGonagall was on them as fast as lightening.
"And what's so bloody funny about Miss Granger being attacked?" she demanded.
"She's not a true Gryffindor," Weasley said, "She deserved what she got, being friends with that filthy snake."
"Did you attack her?" McGonagall demanded.
"Of course not," Weasley said. "I wouldn't sully my hands with that snake lover."
I felt my temper go up and then Moody saved her from doing something that she wouldn't have regretted and grabbed him.
"Come with me, laddie, we are going to have one long talk about what you think that you're above everyone else."
"Let me know what the little rat says," McGonagall said.
"No problem," Moody said and I left Gryffindor Tower.

"Hay, did you hear that Alister Moody was here," Pansy said the next day at breakfast.
"Who's Alister?" Morrigan asked.
"You don't know who-."
"Pansy, she's still new to the Wizarding World," Tracy cut in. "Alister Moody is the Head Auror at the Ministry of Magic. He was probably here because of what happened to Granger."
"What's an Auror?"
"Dark Wizard catcher," Tracy answered before Pansy could say something stupid.
"Do you think that someone from Gryffindor attacked Hermione," Morrigan wondered.
"Don't know," Tracy said, "But if anyone can find out, it's Alister."
"Well I hope they find out soon," Morrigan said and she went back to her food.

A/N: The next chapter will have the name of the person that attacked Hermione. It wasn't Ron, if you want to know.
