"Therefore. Mr. Potter, I’m assigning you to assist the first years with DADA for a week. And you Miss Granger will assist the third years in Ancient Runes, for the same amount of time. I also award you twenty points each for showing restraint on three morons. You are dismissed." Both students gave a slight nod and lef... |
"Minerva. Are you alright?" Pomona asked her longtime friend. |
Minnie shook her head. "It’s not fair. None of this is. They were just defending themselves, and yet." She sighed. "I have to be the one to punish them. And even though it’s not a harsh punishment, it’s a punishment none the less." |
"So then why did you?" Pomona asked. |
"The school rules clearly state..." |
"Bugger the school rules Minerva. Severus does it all the bloody time!" |
"Pomona! Your language is most unnecessary." |
Sprout rolled her eyes. "This coming from a woman who got so drunk at the Christmas party twenty years ago, she..." |
"Let’s not talk about that shall we?" Minerva interrupted. She looked at the time. "I must check on my Lions before class tomorrow." She walked out with as much dignity as she could muster. |

The next couple of weeks seemed to fly by. Harry constantly had a huge grin on his face, and the twins at his side. Ron was sure he knew what that grin was, because he walked into their dorm the day after Hermione’s talk with him to find one of his older brothers on his knees in front of Harry. A half naked Harry. A ha... |
Their studies were going great. Harry, George and Fred even took up some of the non magical courses. Fred and George were in awe. They had some Nomag tutoring in Brazil, but this was insane...or wicked depending on which brother that you were talking to. George had taken an instant liking to chemistry, while Fred was m... |
Harry and Hermione completed their detentions and the younger years were sad to see them go. Hermione had mostly curbed her know it all demanding attitude and was quite the relaxed tutor. She even made up a game to help with Ancient Ruins so that they understood it better. It went so well in fact that they agreed to tu... |
The good times could not last forever. Harry, Ron, George, Hermione, and Fred had decided to enjoy that last bit of fall before winter was upon them, and do their workout outdoors instead of Harry’s trunk. As Harry had predicted, Hermione fell in love with the Library space. She was a bit hurt that she couldn’t touch t... |
"It is past curfew. What are you children doing out of your common room?" Umbridge asked |
Hermione was about to say something, but then Harry gave her the sign for calm on her back. She then remembered that this woman was a bigot to anything not Pureblood. |
George decided that he would speak, as he produced a piece of parchment from the pocket of his workout pants. "Deputy Headmistress McGonagall has given us permission to leave the dorms, at six in the morning to do exercises before breakfast." He handed it to her. She looked it over, and looked like she was going to pou... |
"I have been informed of your high exam scores gentlemen." She said with such fake sweetness, they all wanted to vomit. "Such bright young minds, I would hate to see you influenced by...others. Such as your father has. You would do well in the Ministry. We could use the right kind after all." If she was expecting an ex... |
Fred bowed his head slightly. "Thank you for the offer, but we have our future well in hand. Now if you’ll excuse us, we have a workout to complete before breakfast." |
"A pleasant day to you Professor Umbridge." George finished. But she wasn’t finished. |
Harry turned. "Yes Professor Umbridge?" |
"You should be more supportive of the Ministry. After all, you are a beacon of light in these dark times. To go against us could be seen as heading down a dark path." She smirked in triumph. |
"Your idea has merit. I will take it up with the Potter Board of Advisement. Good day Professor." Harry gave a slight nod to her and continued on his journey. |
"The Potter Board of Advisement?" Ron asked as they walked to the pitch. |
Harry shrugged. "All of you, plus Sirius, Remus, Andi, Luna and Neville. Though I might add in Moody for tactical support." They all laughed as they made their way to the pitch to warm up by running and doing various exercises on the stairs. |

"Am I disturbing you Severus?" |
Severus looked up from his grading. "Technically yes, but these mind numbing dunderheads require me to take a break. Tea?" Severus began to pour a cup for himself and for his guest, but then he saw the look in the man’s eyes. "Shall I add something stronger?" |
Morpheus nodded. "Just a dash. I have classes in an hour." Severus watched as the man watched him take a sip, then took his own. |
"You are aware that I am not fond of "beating around the bush’ as the saying goes. Say your piece." |
Morpheus sat his cup down. "It’s my sister. She’ll be here soon and I’m...worried." |
"Severus. You’ve got to help me! She’s like the product of someone who bred the sun with chaos magic, who makes a succubus look like a virgin! Please let her help you brew. She can brew anything that the hospital wing could need." "And probably anything they don’t.’ He muttered, but Snape heard him anyway. "When she ge... |
Severus set his cup down. His relationship and dare he say friendship with the man came as a shock to him. They were both in the teacher’s lounge, sitting in silence grading papers. Severus had given an audible sigh, sat his work down and took a long sip of his tea. He then picked up a discarded magazine and began thum... |
Morpheus had watched him and chuckled. |
"Something that you find amusing Mr. LaVaunt?" Severus said with a raised brow. |
"I’m willing to bet that your headache is as big as mine. Who in Circe’s kingdom taught some of these children to formulate an essay? Listen to this. "The transfiguration from animate to inanimate works cuz the book says so.’ Seriously?" |
"Ah that is reminiscent of Mr. Connoly’s work." Severus picked up a piece of parchment. "You will enjoy this. "To make the potion do good, you first pour the stuff in the cauldron.’" |
"He did not! Has anyone tried to talk to him?" |
"Pomona has tried. He is also being tutored by an older year. Luckily he is very strong magically, but his theory work leaves a lot to be desired." |
"Have you tested him for Dyslexia?" |
"I beg your pardon? I’m not familiar with that term." Severus looked on interestedly. |
"It’s a rather common diagnosis with a fair amount of symptoms, but it can manifest as difficulty writing and reading. Does he often refuse to answer a question when asked? Or just say that he doesn’t know the answer or things along that line? Anger issues when he gets something wrong?" |
"Frequently." Snape deadpanned. |
"I’m no expert Mr. Snape, but you may want to have that looked into." |
Snape sighed and pinched his nose, then shook his head. "That’s not something that is such a simple task. Conditions such as what you are describing have never been acknowledged and would never be acknowledge. I am aware that schooling is different around the world, but in England such a child would be the shame of the... |
"That’s...disturbing." Morpheus took on a thoughtful look. "Let me look into the boy’s case deeper. I’ll see what I can dig up." Morpheus went back to his grading as Severus picked up a potions periodical He chanced a look at Severus’ reading and muttered to himself. "I still say cobra venom would be more efficient." |
"Did you say something?" |
"Hm? Oh just commenting on Peabody’s theory that basilisk venom for the outbreak of Trulor fever in Uganda would be best for a vaccine. Not taking into account that that particular venom is not only rare, but highly expensive. Cobra venom while not nearly as potent, could do the same thing with a few modifications." He... |
Severus raised a brow. "You are a brewer?" |
"Like you or my sister? Hell no. I get by with the regular household stuff, and even then, my sister insists on double checking my work. I passed my international exam at the ICW and MACUSA so I’m not a total idiot, but I do like to dabble in the theory on occasion. No my strength is in transfiguration and battle magic... |
"You may call me Severus." |
"Morpheus. Although my sister insists on calling me Mo." |
"You have no fear of me ever calling you that." Severus gave a disgusted look. After that they both went back to work. |
Morpheus came through for the Connoly boy. It turned out that not only was he Dyslexic, but his parents just assumed he was stupid and stopped sending him to school three years before Hogwarts. They had claimed he was being homeschooled after that. |
Severus Snape had been a Death Eater and had fought in a war as a spy. But he had never seen something so fierce. So terrifying as the look in the normally calm eyes of Pomona Sprout. She could have defeated the Dark Lord all alone with the look she was wearing in the staff meeting. |
The boy’s performance had picked up after a bit. Apparently all of Hufflepuff house had a meeting and they rallied around the boy. At the last staff meeting, it was proudly announced that he was now reading and writing at a second year level, even though he was a fourth year. He still had some tough roads ahead, but he... |
Severus may or may not have visited the boy’s parents. |
He came out of his memories. "She will be allowed to help me with the hospital stock. I will check her work, but Santiago is more than a competent master level brewer and I trust his judgment if he took her on as an apprentice." |
"Thank you Severus. I have a feeling my sister is going to turn Britain on it’s head." |
Severus smirked. "I find myself looking forward to it Morpheus." |

Carmen was bored. She was currently regretting promising her superiors that she would do a courtesy and inform the Head of Magical Law Enforcement, as they called it here, that she was in the country. It was a courtesy. She really shouldn’t even waste her time in her opinion. |
Her brother had commissioned bodyguards for her from the firm. Her firm! As if! One was named Brian. An insanely tall Caucasian man with short light brown hair, and deep blue eyes. Odell was a dark skinned male of African descent, only slightly shorter than Brian, with a bald head and a goatee with carmel brown eyes. N... |
And that’s another thing. How are you my superiors if I don’t even really work for you anymore? I’ve had my own business for eight years! She whinged in her head. |
She mused it was worth it. She so missed her big brother. It had been a long time, and she knew she needed the bond to stabilize her, after what she went through with Harry. She was more erratic than normal. And well...that was saying something. |
She glanced up once again from playing some brick breaker thing on her phone, and looked at the flunky with the bad blonde dye job. "How much longer?" She could tell that her escorts were even worse off than she was. |
"Look. Madame Bones is very busy. You have no appointment, so you’ll just have to wait until she can see you." The twit went back to filing her nails. |
Carmen cocked her head to the side. "I see." Then without warning she thrust her hand out towards the cow and smirked as the little bitch struggled to breath. Carmen held the wandless spell as she spoke. "Let me explain something to you, you worthless bitch. I’m on vacation. I’m here to see my brother, for a month and ... |
Carmen decided to wear a suit to this...place. She was very proud of her conservative tan suit, with a white shirt that tied at the side of the neck. She liked it more because it complimented her chocolate skin. The shirt had small turquoise and pink accents throughout. She even wore light brown kitten heels instead of... |
Carmen walked out of the office and eventually into the Atrium. They were headed for the exit when spells rang out. All three of them smiled. Finally some fun! |

Keri burst into the Minister’s office. "Director! Some witch just assaulted me, because I made her wait for your return. She said something about not meeting you gave her the right to kill people. She said something about being level thirteen, whatever that is, when she came in." |
Bones looked to her assistant as she jumped to her feet. "How long did she wait?" |
"About an hour or so. Maybe more." |
"You idiot! Do you people not keep up with the memos that are sent out. We were told that a Level Thirteen operative would be in the country soon on vacation, and that she would do a courtesy check in with me. I clearly stated that no matter what I was doing I was to be contacted immediately." |
"Madame Bones?" |
"She’s a Level Thirteen of the ICW." |
Amelia Bones rolled her eyes. "You signed the damned thing Cornelius! Never mind. We need to find her." |

The first eruption of spell fire, annoyed her, but as she returned fire she realized how pathetic they could be. What the hell is that school teaching? She wandlessly banished an Auror into the wall behind her. Her bodyguards that her brother had sent were brilliant if nothing else. They took out seven Aurors between t... |
"Stop! You are under arrest!" |
"Actually Auror, they are not! They were defending themselves. If they had wanted my assistant dead she would be. You’re all dismissed. |
"Now." Bones growled. |
The Aurors looked at their boss, but knew not to disobey a direct order. They gathered their fallen comrades and returned to their posts. |
Amelia straightened her robes and strode towards the woman with an outstretched hand. "My apologies for the delay. I told my now Former assistant to contact me the moment you were in the building no matter what. That was not obviously taken into orders." |
Carmen shook her hand with a warm smile, as she moved the hand that was placed on her weapon. Amelia Bones had a very good reputation in the law enforcement circles. |
"Not a problem Director. Good help can be hard to find." She gave a sideways glance to her two babysitters. They smirked back at her. "Shall we adjourn to your office?" |
A throat cleared to the side of them. It was the Minister. He gave Amelia a look that clearly said "introduce me’. |
"Pardon me. This is Cornelius Fudge the Minister for Magic in the United Kingdom." |
"A pleasure to meet you madame. Welcome to our country." |
"Thank you. I’ve actually been to England many times. One of my security firms is located here, I’ve never explored the official magical side however. If you will excuse us Minister Fudge, I do have a board meeting to attend to in about thirty minutes and I’ve already been here longer than I had planned." She gave a ch... |
Shocked by the dismissal, he nodded his head and wished her a good day and walked away. Carmen turned to walk back in the direction she came. "Pompous Asshole." She muttered. Amelia choked on air. |
"You’ve met him before?" |
"He’s a politician. Most are pompous assholes." She shrugged. They reached Amelia’s office and after drinks were offered and refused. They got down to business. "Miss LaVaunt..." |
"Call me Carmen." |
"Carmen. How long will you be staying? |
"Just a month. I’m mainly here to see my big brother. He’s teaching at Hogwarts now." |
"And this is just a vacation?" |
Carmen laughed. She liked this woman. "Let me put your mind at ease Director. I’m not here to spy. I’m a workaholic. Not only do I do work for the ICW on occasion, I also own my own security firm that operates world wide. I haven’t seen my brother in a while, and it’s been even longer since I’ve had a vacation. I’m tak... |
After both women shared a hearty laugh, Amelia asked her a follow up question. "I see. And may I inspect your wand for registration purposes?" |
