"Arthur! Look who's here!" Molly called out, waving her husband over. Fae saw Arthur as he stepped through the crowd, making his way over to his wife. His eyes widen in surprise when he saw Fae. "Fae?"

"Hey, Mr. Weasley!" Fae smiled.

"Fae!" Arthur smiled, giving Fae a big hug almost crushing her. "When I heard that you quit the Ministry, I thought that something terrible had happened. Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Dumbledore offered me a job to teach at Hogwarts. So, I decided to take it for the time being." She told him.

"That's great to hear. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go and talk to the Grangers." Arthur said and walked away, heading towards Hermione's parents, talking with them. It was then that Fae had noticed that Harry, Ron and his siblings and Hermione had disappeared. She scanned the crowd and saw them near the entrance to the bookshop, along with Draco Malfoy. This can't be good. She started to make her way towards them, pushing and shoving through the crowd.

"Bet you love that, didn't you, Potter? Famous Harry Potter, can't even go to a bookshop without making the front page." Draco sneered at Harry. Harry narrowed his eyes at him, silently glaring at Draco. Ginny stepped up, getting in between them.

"Leave him alone."

"Oh look, Potter. You've got yourself a girlfriend." Draco snickered. A long cane tapped Draco on his shoulder, stopping him. Draco tensed up and so did everyone else as they saw a man with long platinum blond hair dressed in dark robes.

"Now, now, Draco, play nicely." Draco's father pushed him swiftly aside. He fixed his gaze on Harry. "Mr. Potter. Lucius Malfoy, we meet at least." He reached his hand out towards Harry and Harry slowly shook his. Harry was pulled closer, and Lucius pulled back Harry's hair away from his forehead, revealing his lightning bolt scar. "Forgive me your scar is legend as of course is the wizard who gave it to you." Harry stepped away from him.

"Voldemort killed my parents. He was nothing more than a murder."

"You must be very brave to mention his name or very foolish." Lucius Malfoy smiled.

"Fear the name only increases fear within itself." Hermione said.

"And you must be, Ms. Granger. Yes, Draco has told me all about you and your parents. Muggles, aren't they?" He smirked, looking over towards Hermione's parents who were still talking to Mr. Weasley. Hermione narrowed her eyes at him, saying nothing.

"What's going on here?" Everyone turned and saw Fae, standing behind the group, making her way towards Lucius. Lucius eyes widen as soon as he saw her and smirked.

"Ah, Miss Craft. I didn't think I would see you again with you suddenly dropping your job from the Ministry. Why is that?"

"Dumbledore offered me a job to teach at Hogwarts so I took it. Who wouldn't jump at the chance?" Fae answered, keeping her eyes on him. Lucius nodded then turned his attention towards Ron and Fred and George.

"Let me see, red hair, vacant expression, tatty secondhand book. You must be the Weasleys."

Arthur walked over to the group. "Children, its mad in here. Let's go outside." He turned towards Lucius and the two stared each other down.

"Arthur."

"Lucius."

"Your time here at the Ministry, Arthur, all those extra raids. I do hope they pay you overtime. But judging by the state of this, I'd say not." Lucius smirked. "I'll see you soon, being a disgrace to the name of wizard, if they don't even pay you well for it."

"We have a very different idea what disgraces of wizard, Malfoy." Arthur told him.

"Clearly. Associated with Muggles and I thought your family could sink no lower." Lucius frowned. "I'll see you at work." He left the shop and Draco sneered back at Harry and followed after his father.

"See you at school."


Fae had arrived back at Hogwarts and started to sort through her belongings, unpacking them. She used some altering spells to transform some of the walls giving it a more rustic gothic appearance. The shades dimmed the moonlight as it shined through, giving it a greener lighting. Fae smiled and walked over to Dipper and her owl's cages, unlocking them so they can roam around.

"I'm heading out. You two better stay out of trouble when I'm gone. No fighting." She placed some food down for them, separating the bowls far apart from each other. She placed one on the floor and the other on a nearby table for her owl. Her two pets happily ate as she left, heading to the Great Hall.

As Fae arrived, she noticed that several of the professors were already seated as well as the students as it almost time for the sorting ceremony for the new first years arriving to Hogwarts. Fae walked over, heading towards the teachers table and took a seat next to Severus.

"Hello." Fae smiled.

"Miss Craft." Snape answered her. Fae's eyes scanned the crowd of students, noticing that two were missing.

"Can you guess who is not here?" Fae asked Severus.

"Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley. I already know." Snape answered.

"Should we go look for them?" Fae asked, concerned. "I wonder what happened."

"After the ceremony we'll scout the castle to find them." Severus told her. Fae nodded and Dumbledore proceeded with the sorting ceremony and started the feast. Several owls flew through the windows passing out mail and a newspaper landing in front of Fae, beside Severus. He took it and started to read the paper and his hands crinkled the side of the paper tightly. His jaw tightened.

Fae noticed and moved closer to see what was wrong. Her eyes widen at the headlines as she read it "Several muggles saw a flying car flying over London." She noticed the car immediately as Arthur's seeing him drive it a few times back at the ministry. But he wouldn't be this reckless.

After dinner was over, the prefects began to lead the students back to their dormitories. The professors began to head back to their rooms while several others started to do their nightly rounds, patrolling the castle. Severus and Fae started to head down the stairs to start at the castle grounds when they heard footsteps and voices approaching.

"Maybe if we're lucky, Snape left this year because he couldn't get the Defense Against the Dark Arts job again." Ron said.

"Or maybe he got sick." Harry spoke.

"Or he might have been sacked!" Ron said enthusiastically. "I mean, everyone hates him."

"Or he's waiting to hear why two didn't arrive on the school train." Snape's cold voice spoke. Harry and Ron froze as they saw Snape and Fae in front of them. "Follow me." He smiled. Harry and Ron only knew that this meant that they were in deep trouble. Fae quietly gestured them to follow her, and Snape lead them down to the dungeons to his office. Snape sat down in front of his desk. Fae walked over, leaning against the wall as she watched Snape yell at the two boys. He scolded and lectured them as he waved the newspaper in front of Harry and Ron.

"You were seen by no less than seven muggles. Do you have any idea how serious this is!? You have risked the exposer of our world. Not to mention the damage you did on a whomping willow that's been on the grounds since before you were born."

"Honestly, professor, I think it did more damage to us." Ron interrupted.

"Silence!" Snape snapped. "I assure you, had you both been in Slytherin, and your fate rested with me, the both of you would be sent back on the train back home, tonight, as it is."

"They are not." Everyone saw Dumbledore and McGonagall step into the office.

"Professor Dumbledore. Professor McGonagall." Harry said, surprised but also relieved to see them. Snape got up and stood beside Ron and Harry.

"Headmaster, these boys have flouted the decree for the restriction of underage wizardry, as such." He spoke.

"I know of our by-laws Severus, having written a few of them myself. However, as head of Gryffindor house, it is for Professor McGonagall to determine the appropriate action." Dumbledore answered.

"We'll get our belongings then." Everyone heard Ron spoke.

"What do you mean, Mr. Weasley?" Minerva asked him.

"You're going to expel us, aren't you?" Ron asked. Harry nodded, quietly with him.

"Not today, Mr. Weasley." McGonagall told the two. Harry and Ron's eyes widen in shock and the two smiled. "But I must unpressed the seriousness that the both of you have done. I will be writing to your families tonight and the two of you will receive detention."
