A LUPIN, A BLACK AND A POTTER: GOES TO HOGWARTS
The atmosphere in the Moonlight Manor was tense. It was bad enough that Hermione had been attacked by a troll in the girls’ bathroom but the fact Harry, Ron and Neville fought the troll had thrown Sirius into an overprotective mode. It was mid-afternoon and Luna was having a nap. Sirius was doing some paper work in the study when he heard Luna screaming, he dropped the quill and ran towards her room. “Harry, no, Harry” she muttered her legs and arms waving about. Sirius grabbed hold of her shoulders and began to shake her. “Lu wake up, wake up it’s just a dream” Sirius begged. Luna’s eyes opened suddenly, her beautiful big blue eyes clouded over. “Lu?” Sirius whispered “Harry…. Harry was in trouble; his broom went out of control… Hermione set Snape’s cloak on fire…. Harry caught the snitch by swallowing it…. Hagrid let it slip about Nicholas Flamel and Fluffy….” Luna’s eyes cleared up and she blinked “did I disturb you, Uncle Padfoot?” she said dreamily “no, you had a nightmare sweetie, go back to sleep or something” Sirius said distractedly, Luna nodded and laid back down on her pillow, her eyes watching him as he went out of the room. Sirius ran to the study and pulled out a piece of parchment and a quill, spilling ink everywhere in his attempt to write the letter out. Harry, Mione, Neville and Ron DO NOT GO LOOKING INTO NICHOLAS FLAMEL!! THIS IS DANGEROUS STUFF!! HARRY, LUNA HAS SEEN YOUR MATCH IN A DREAM SO BE CAREFUL!! Mione congrats with the fire and do not do anything dangerous I do not want another letter saying you’ve been attacked by a troll. Sirius He tied the letter hurriedly to Romulus and threw the owl out of the window, praying it gets to Harry before his match. Unfortunately for Sirius, Harry didn’t get the letter until after the Qudditch match. Hermione was re-reading the letter with a small frown on her face. “How did he know?” she asked Harry rolled his eyes “well it’s obvious that Luna had a vision” “I don’t believe in that stuff and you know it” “Mione you have to face it some time our little sister is a seer and a damn good one as well” Hermione sighed and then she had a sly smile on her face “you know we haven’t done a prank yet, and I think our fathers would be mildly disappointed with us if he didn’t do one soon” Harry grinned “what did you have in mind oh intelligent sister of mine?” “Well… I found a rather interesting potion at home that gives you animal parts, if I brew it and asked the house elves to put it in everyone’s food…” “Who made this fantastic potion?” Harry asked “I want to add them onto my Christmas list; I already have mental images of Snape in bunny ears” Hermione gave Harry a sad smile “your mother did, apparently she slipped some in our father’s pumpkin juice and they spent the day with tails” Harry smiled at the thought, he took a deep breath and let it out slowly before asking the question “how long does this potion take to brew and what’s needed?” Hermione grinned Meanwhile Luna who was sitting at the dinner table giggled “Harry and Hermione are plotting a prank” she whispered to Selene “and I must say I hope they take pictures” During the period of time brewing the potion Harry and Hermione spent many nights out in a secret passage behind a mirror. One night on the way back to the common room they heard someone on their way and ran into a charms classroom, standing there in front of them was a mirror. The mirror of Erised it said on the top underneath was an inscription. That Hermione and Harry could barely make out. Harry looked into the mirror and gasped. In his reflection he could see his mother and father and next to him were two small children; the boy had black messy hair and brown eyes the girl and long red hair with brown eyes. They were his brother and sister. Not brother and sister by Hermione looked in the mirror and saw a woman that looked just like her. The woman was brushing Hermione’s hair, occasionally wrapping her arms round her and whispering something in her ear. She blinked. It wasn’t real. Her mother is dead and cold in the ground. Her stepmother who is nothing but sweet and nice to her is alive. Her stepmother is the one that holds her and protects her. Her stepmother is the one that sorts her hair out before a party. What the mirror showed wasn’t real. “Harry this isn’t real” Hermione whispered she pulled Harry’s sleeve “come on lets go to bed” Hermione had to drag Harry all the way to the common room, and that night she dreamt of a woman that looked like her screaming in agony. It was the last day of lessons and at dinner time the prank began. Everyone sat there enjoying their meal when the Slytherins began to sprout tails and bunny ears. After two minutes of giggling, the Ravenclaws suddenly sprouted wings, then the Hufflepuffs turned black and white with a fluffy tail, the Gryffindors grew manes and tails, then the teachers grew different things. Snape grew bunny ears with a fluffy tail, Sprout looked like the Hufflepuffs, Flitwick also grew wings and flew round the great hall whooping in joy, McGonagall grew a mane and whenever she opened her mouth she roared loudly. Dumbledore grew horns and looked a bit like a goat. Hagrid grew fur and resembled a bear; even Filch who joined the staff table for dinner grew whiskers and a cat tail. Everyone laughed (apart from Filch, Quirell and Snape). McGonagall was smiling slightly, and occasionally opened her mouth for a roar. It seemed that everyone enjoyed the prank and no one was embarrassed…. Except maybe the Slytherins but they were to busy laughing at Flitwick to react. Ron, Hermione, Harry and Neville sat in a carriage on the train the next day. Both Ron and Neville looked rather confused since they both thought they were going to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas while Mr and Mrs Weasley went to Romania and Xeno was doing some research in Switzerland. “But where will we be staying?” Ron asked “I mean if I’m staying at Aunt Muriel’s I might run back to Hogwarts and pull a cracker with Snape. The twins and Percy are staying at Hogwarts so why can’t I?” Harry and Hermione smirked; they still couldn’t believe Ron and Neville haven’t worked it out. Ron looked at them “you two know something” he said firmly “what is it? Am I being forced to stay at Aunt Muriel’s? Will I be going to Romania? Will I be staying…?” Ron glared at them and folded his arms “me and Neville are staying at yours aren’t we?” Harry and Hermione began to laugh. “I can’t believe it took you this long to work it out” Harry said in between laughter “Ginny is staying as well” Hermione said “for Luna’s benefit” Harry stopped laughing “Ginny is coming?” he asked Hermione nodded Ron looked suspicious “what’s wrong with Ginny, Harry?” Harry turned red “it’s nothing, I was just surprised that’s all” “I think Harry has a little crush on Ginny” Neville staged whispered “I HAVE NOT!” Harry shouted but his cheeks remained red for the entire night. Especially when he was around Ginny. Authors note: review please and stayed tune because next chapter has an interesting Christmas present.
