Minerva stood, walked over the Headmaster and grabbed Albus by the ear. "When was the last time you slept you old goat?" |
"Minerva. It’s barely past breakfast. I have many things to do." |
"The only thing you have to do is go to bed, or shall I have Poppy come see you?" |
Albus’ eyes widened in horror. "You wouldn’t!" |
Minerva raised her brow in a "just try me’ look. |
The rest of the staff just looked on amused. |
"I believe my schedule has just cleared. I believe I will retire for the day." |
"Just a moment Headmaster. Drink this before bed." Severus pulled a vial from his pockets and handed it to Minerva. |
"A dreamless sleep potion is hardly necessary my boy." Albus said in a very much put upon voice. |
"I don’t trust you." Severus and Minerva looked at each other as they had said it at the same time. |
"Come along Albus." She turned to the staff, as the Headmaster looked like a chastised five year old. "I will see him sorted, then Filius we will get started." |
"Of course Minerva." Professor Flitwick couldn’t hide his grin. |
The headmaster and his deputy made it to his quarters. After she had forced him to bathe as she waited outside of the bathroom, he came out in his night clothes and looked at her like she was crazy. That was until she yanked his head back and forced him to drink the potion. |
"Minerva!" The Headmaster yelled in shock after she took her hand off of his mouth. |
"Goodnight Albus!" |
"Min..." The headmaster almost dropped like a stone. His longtime friend levitated him into bed. After she had covered him up. She ran a hand in his long nearly fully white hair. |
"Goodnight you stubborn old fool. My husband always thought you worked too damn hard and I agreed with him." She stood when she heard the snoring begin. "Rest old friend." And she left. |

Minerva McGonagall fell into step with Professor Flitwick as he started walking the moment she left Albus’ office. |
"What’s your plan Filius?" |
"Since death by dragon is not an option, I was hoping to plunge my house into the negative. I am hoping you and the other professors will help me with the no doubt copious amount of detentions." |
Minerva smirked evilly. "It would be my pleasure. And just so you know, I will be speaking to my own house. If I find any of them culpable, I will do the same." They came to the entrance to Ravenclaw and the door swung open. The members of the house of intellect never saw their Head look so angry. |
"I am going to speak to the prefects. When I’m done, I shall be speaking to all of you! No one leaves the tower. Classes for Ravenclaw have been canceled for today. I have never been so disgusted in my entire life as to bear witness to bullying at this level!" |

At dinner that night there where whispers throughout the Great Hall. |
"I didn’t think it was possible." Dean muttered. |
"Me either." Neville agreed |
The Gryffindor table began to follow the looks of the two fifth years and saw that they were staring at the house points counter. |
No one at Hogwarts could ever remember something so...devastating. |
Ravenclaw was at negative nine hundred and fifty points, where they previously had managed one hundred points. |
"May I have your attention?" Professor McGonagall tapped on her goblet with a spoon. She nodded at Filius. |
He nodded in return "I will make this brief. Ravenclaw no longer has prefects. They have been complicit in the bullying of a fellow Claw, and their parents have been notified." You could hear many shocked intakes of breath. "I stand here with my heart in my hand as the saying goes. If any Ravenclaw feels unsafe, please... |
A blue light swirled around him and many of the children gulped. |
"That was all of the announcements. You may enjoy your dinner." McGonagall said as she tucked into hers. "You’re looking better Albus." |
"I feel better Minerva. Thank you for the err...assertiveness in which you helped me this morning. Apparently, I don’t know when to rest for my own good. |
Dolores Umbridge just didn’t know when to shut up. "That was barbaric! Just another beast trying to take control of this fine institution! The girl is obviously disturbed!" |
There was a chill that seeped into the bones of everyone who sat at the teacher’s table. |
"What?" She halted as she advanced on the woman. Her eyes never leaving Umbridge. |
Carmen looked at her brother like he was a stranger. "Did you hear what she said?" |
"I did, but she’s just...no." He shook his head sadly. |
"Fine!" She said angrily and walked out of the Great Hall. |
"Did that that woman just threaten to kill me?" Dolores asked stunned. |
Morpheus smirked. "Trust me. It wasn’t a threat." And he continued with his meal. |

Carmen was in her usual spot in the Astronomy Tower, smoking a cigar and sipping brandy while staring at the grounds. She would be leaving soon and she didn’t know how she felt about that. Harry and Mo were her world, but she knew she couldn’t hide from the rest of the world forever. It was time for her to go. |
She went back to the hospital wing after dinner to look in on Luna. Her father was sitting with her reading to her next to her bed, as Ron held her hand as he dosed off. She could feel that their magic intertwined, but that the boy didn’t yet know what it meant. |
"Mr. Lovegood. How is she?" |
Xeno put his book down and stood up to hug her. "She’s fine thanks to you. I owe you a debt." |
Carmen shook her head. "For the life of a child, there is no debt. Especially with a soul as beautiful as hers." She nodded her head at the two teens holding hands as they slept. "Think they’ve figured it out yet?" |
Xeno shook his head. "Teenage boys are clueless. I should know. My late wife smacked me in the head and asked me what was taking me so long." He chuckled. |
"I should get going. Feel free to write to me, especially when you guys go on one of your adventures." Carmen smiled and squeezed his arm as she walked out. |
Once again bringing herself back to the present, she could hear not only the steps but could taste his magic. "What can I do for you professor?" |
Severus had to blink twice. "Someday you will have to tell me how you do that." |
She smiled as she took another puff from her cigar. She released the smoke. "Someday." |
Severus nodded at her offer of a drink. She conjured a glass and poured him a shot. "Carmen I have asked your brother this question and he gave me the most curious answer. What do you think of the current magical conflict here in Britain?" |
Carmen refilled both of their glasses and leaned her head against the wall of the spot she was sitting at as she watched the night sky. "It’s complete bullshit." |
"He said something similar although nowhere near as colorful." |
"I try to impress." She raised her glass to him and took a sip. After she had swallowed, she continued. "You morons waste precious magical blood all to keep something "pure’. Your numbers have been falling for years, and soon you will just be a magical wasteland. Tell me Severus. What do you think the non magical popul... |
"I never gave it a thought if I were honest." |
"Well you should. Counting the Mundane borns that were born into the non magical world it’s over fifty million." |
If it were not for his iron clad control on his emotions, Severus’ jaw would have hit the ground. |
Carmen laughed. "You should hear about the population in China. It’s massive! Over a billion I think. The point is you can’t win. Nomajs have found ways to wipe out a whole city with the simple push of a button." Carmen stood, put out her cigar, knocked back her drink and stretched. "However it aint my problem at the m... |
Severus nodded slightly. "Goodnight." Severus finished his drink and then headed to his chambers. |

It was lunch time, and she was chatting with her brother. She huffed at something Morpheus had said, just when her baby sitters showed up. "Ah. I’m thinking that’s my cue to leave I guess. They’re early though." |
She turned and hugged her brother. "I won’t be such a stranger anymore big bro. I’ve missed you these past years, and I’ll make you a priority I promise." |
Morpheus hugged his sister back just as fiercely "I’ll hold you to that baby girl. You take care of yourself you hear? And I want pictures of you relaxing on the beach my pretty." |
Carmen laughed and pulled away slightly as she looked up at him. "You don’t trust me brother?" |
Morpheus raised a brow. "About as far as I can throw you sis. Now go before we both start bawling like babies." |
Carmen nodded. She stepped away from her brother and walked over to the Gryffindor table, Harry was already standing and walking towards her. They hugged each other tightly. "Keep in touch." He whispered, while fighting tears. |
"Nothing but death will keep me from it." |
Harry pulled back and looked at her. "Didn’t...didn’t you have us watch that movie? I remember that line." |
She shrugged. "Doesn’t mean it isn’t true." She kissed his forehead. "May the blessings of the Gods and Goddesses of strength and love protect you little one. Call on me if you need me, I’m just a jump away." She then turned to the twins. "You’re both strong of heart and magic, but if you hurt him, I will kill you." Sh... |
"Yes we know..." |
"You only tell us..." |
"Everyday." They smiled at her, though they knew that she meant it. They both hugged her tightly. |
She hugged Neville. "I look forward to meeting your grandmother someday." |
Neville smiled into her neck. "I look forward to the meeting." |
Hermione did one of her patented grapple hugs. "Thank you." |
"You’re welcome." She patted the girl awkwardly. |
"So take care." Ron stuttered out. |
"You too "lil red’. And pull your head out of your ass and ask her out." She shook his hand. She turned to the rest of Harry’s friends. "Well no long goodbyes so I must be off." Carmen and her shadows turned to leave through doors of the Great Hall. She had told them that she wanted to walk the grounds one last time be... |
"What on earth?" Dumbledore mumbled. |
The four house ghosts appeared in the Hall and stood around Carmen. |
She was kind of concerned, but she thought that everything was on the up and up after their last game. "Baron I told you I didn’t cheat at the chess match, I’m just better than you." She was pretty sure this wasn’t about chess but she had to try. |
"Many a century one was not needed." The Friar began. |
"Many a century one was not called." Said Lady Helena’s ghost. |
"Many a century one was not requested." Said the Bloody Baron. |
"Because for many centuries, Hogwarts wasn’t about to fall...until now." |
Helena looked at Nearly Headless Nick. "That’s not in the script." |
"Who cares? It’s the truth." He shrugged as his slightly chopped off head lolled slightly to the side. |
"Right." Carmen drawled "Would someone care to fill me in, because there is a pina colada with my name on it on a beach at my villa." |
"It’s quite simple My Lady. She has chosen you as her champion." |
Now Carmen was staring at all of them like they were nuts. "Uhuh. And she would be..." |
"Me." A light airy voice came from behind the teacher’s table. |
"And you are...?" Carmen asked as she looked around. |
A beautiful woman coasted down from the rafters. She was rather tall, with a slender build with reddish blonde hair that sat at her waist. She wore circlet around her head, and long white robes. "I am the spirit of Hogwarts." |
Carmen bowed deep. "My Lady you honour me with your presence." |
Lady Hogwarts smiled. "I am honoured to be in your presence. Ophelia of LaVaunt." |
Carmen cringed at her given name. "What is it that you ask of me my Lady?" |
