Severus stood and made his way around the desk. "Let me explain something to you, you pathetic little girl. You would not last ten minutes as one of his faithful followers. You have no stealth. No cunning, and your brain is on par with that of a flobberworm. Potter was able to best you and your two idiotic compatriots.... |
Severus gave an evil smirk. "Besides. You are a female. The Dark Lord only sees you as someone who can breed more Purebloods. And since you do not have the skill that Bellatrix or Alecto possess, you mean nothing to him. |
Severus swept back around to his seat. "Your punishment is as followed. You have both lost twenty five points. Each." |
Draco and Pansy snapped their heads up in disbelief. |
"You both have in house suspension for the next two weeks. Meals in the Great Hall and classes. Nothing more. You have both lost Hogsmeade privileges for the first visit this year. Mr. Malfoy you are suspended from playing the first game this year." |
"YOU CAN’T DO THAT!" Pansy screeched while stomping her foot. |
Severus merely raised a brow. "I was also going to give two weekends of detention with Hagrid and Filch. Would you care to make it four?" |
Draco shot Pansy a look when she was about to protest. She wisely decided to keep her mouth shut. |
"If I hear of one more infraction from either one of you, you will lose your prefect badge. Am I clear?" Professor Snape said in a bored tone. |
"Yes Professor." The students said as one. |
"You may go Miss Parkinson." Pansy fought the urge to stomp out of the room and slam the door. |
"Uncle Sev I..." |
"Save your whining Draco. You have disappointed me once again. You have now lost all extra brewing privileges. Now leave." |
"Professor! You can’t mean that! I’m sorry...really I am. It’s just..." |
"I said leave boy!" Severus shouted. |
Draco ran from his godfather’s quarters. He was truly hurt that Severus would speak to him that way. |
And the Potions Master knew it. He knew his treatment was harsh for his Dragon, but he needed a way to get through to him. Severus sighed and sat in a chair in front of the fire. He leaned his head back and looked towards the ceiling. "Help me’. He begged to everyone and no one all at once |
Ophelia Carmen Leanne LaVaunt, strolled up to the front doors of the castle, with the mother of all hangovers and a black eye. "Mo’s gonna kill me’. She muttered. She had five pieces of luggage floating behind her, while she was dragging a suitcase on wheels. The Bloody Baron drifted down to her and gave a respectful n... |
"Take my advice Baron. Drinking is bad." |
The Baron laughed. "I see. What are your orders?" |
"It’s lunch time right?" |
"You are correct. I presume that you want to make an announcement at this time." |
Carmen’s sunglasses almost fell off of her head as she nodded. Even though it was cold as hell, it was still bright. "Be sure that the Caretaker Filch is in the chow hall please." |
"At once Carmen." |
The new Warden was wearing all black. Tight black jeans, black leather boots that went to just below her knees with silver buckles on the outside, black turtleneck, and silver hoop earrings as she pushed opened the doors to the Great Hall. She had also decided to have her hair braided in multiple tiny braids all over h... |
"You’re late sister. The Board of Governors deemed you an oath breaker, as you weren’t here yesterday." Morpheus grinned. He was there when the oath was taken. His sister would’ve done well in Slytherin. |
"I vowed to protect the school. I didn’t say where I would do it. I’ve been re establishing old contacts and shoring up the current ones. If what I suspect is true, then we will need all the damn help we can get. That and I made a short trip to my villa. I needed to feel the sun again." |
She stepped around her big brother to make her way to the Head Table. She released four of the crates to each of the ends of house tables. The largest one she placed in front of the Head Table. She pushed a bit of her aura in comfort to Harry as she stopped in front of Dumbledore. "Before I start my mission, I would li... |
"Listen up because I don’t like repeating myself. I am apparently the new Warden of this school. I will spend the majority of the time shoring up your crappy ward scheme." Carmen began to weave through the tables slowly. "I have multiple degrees in magic, including a Mastery in Battle Magic or what the U.K. for some re... |
Carmen made her way to the Gryffindor table. Once she reached Harry’s position, she ran a light hand across his shoulder blades in a way of greeting while not breaking her stride. Carmen made her way to the head table and turned to face the students. She watched as Filch slipped into the Great Hall and stood near the d... |
"Now for the not so fun part. I am not the witch to mess with. As you can tell I’m not from these parts originally. I have homes in many nations, but I am a child of the States. Or what some of you refer to as The Colonies. We aint taught to give someone second chances when they are trying to kill you. If you raise you... |
"Miss LaVaunt! I must protest! These are students and they make mistakes." Albus shouted |
"Leaving your homework in your dorm is a mistake. Casting the butchers curse at another student, is a crime. Deal with it." She turned back to the students. |
"With that being said, I want you to come to me if for any reason you feel unsafe. I’m told that I’m a great listener, and I will help you if I can. That also means that if you don’t feel safe at home." Carmen noted that several students quickly found the table interesting and moved on. "I have many contacts in the mag... |
"That also means that if the staff doesn’t make you feel safe. If you feel like the staff is bullying you for blinking too loudly, or some other nonsense bullshit reason then please let me know. I love to duel." She smiled. |
Harry and Neville chuckled. They had told her about some of the points that Snape had deducted and the reasons why. |
Snape narrowed his eyes. |
Carmen started to walk slowly towards Filch. "That means no more threatening the lil ones with hanging them by their thumbs and whipping them." The look in her eyes made Filch gulp. |
"That means threatening the students with punishment of pain, and death for getting water on the floor. They’re kids you son of bitch! And it rains all the damn time here. And if it aint that it’s the damn snow." |
Carmen was in his face now as the man whimpered in fear, especially when her eyes started to glow. "I will say this once Filch, if I ever hear of you threatening the students in such a way again, I will end you. Killing someone with magic is the easy way that I don’t usually take. But I will for you. Just because you d... |
Filch nodded so fast that his head nearly fell from his neck. |
The warden gave a sickeningly sweet smile and patted him on the shoulder as he flinched. "Goody." |
She turned back to the students. |
"I think more than anything, I want to say this. As I said before I aint from here. Your ridiculous little house rivalries are the stuff of jokes in many parts of the world. I give two fucks what house you’re from. I don’t give a damn about your blood status, which is bullshit anyway. I don’t give a damn who your momma... |
"So to sum up. I’ll do my job and destroy anyone who harms the castle or the inhabitants." She turned to the Head table and saw some of the staff fuming. |
"Now for the fun part!" She was once again jumping up and down like a demented rabbit. "Will Madame Hooch and the four Heads of House please come down to their table." She was so excited! She had heard so many of the children complain about the death traps known as the school brooms. She waited as each head of house an... |
"If you need more, then let me know. I can get up to eighty. Oh and this." She handed Rolanda a slip of paper. |
Madame Hooch’s eyes went wide. "What is it Rolanda?" Professor Sprout asked. |
"She’s arranged to give us free maintenance for ten years." She breathed out. |
Carmen nodded excitedly. "The only stipulation that I have is that we get to have a nice bonfire for the old ones. I’ve heard so many students complaining, that I thought that this would be a nice gesture." The hall erupted into a raucous applause. |
"How could you afford..." Professor Vector started to ask. |
"Honey I spent ten thousand galleons to remodel my home in Rio last spring. This was nothing." She waved a dismissive hand. |
"And what pray tell are these?" Severus pointed at the boxes that were sitting at the end of the tables. |
Carmen smirked and resized them. "These are for the individual houses. I hate Quidditch, but a friend of mine said that different types of brooms work for different positions, so I bought two of each." |
The students who were on the house teams made a mad dash to see the brooms, but a loud bang from the Headmaster’s wand stopped them. "You will all have time to inspect the new brooms later, but for now, please give a round of applause for Miss LaVaunt’s thoughtfulness." The rafters were shaking with the sound that the ... |
"Calm down. Calm down. Now my last order of business, is that you seriously need something more to occupy your time. Mama always said that idle hands are the devil’s handiwork. Or something like that anyway. To that end, I would like some suggestions of clubs you would like to see started at school. It will have the ad... |
After all of the students had left, Morpheus had pulled his sister into a hug. "I’m proud of you sis." He said as he kissed her forehead. |
Carmen basked in the warmth of her big brother. "Yeah well don’t get used to it." |
"Wouldn’t dream of it." He laughed and led her to their shared quarters. "By the way. What happened to your eye?" |
"I was drunk." She sighed |

The meeting with the ghosts was very informative. Apparently Peeves had gotten worse, but Carmen was not willing to intervene just yet. "He is of your...realm for lack of a better term, so I will let you all punish him as you see fit. However, please inform me if he seriously harms a student." |
The ghosts bowed. |
"Alright. Onto other business. "History of Magic at this school is joke." There were many nods of agreement. "If the Board of Governors are so intent on being cheap and keeping on a ghost, who by the way is stuck on his last lesson, why not have one of you do it? I havta say I’m pretty pissed at the way they portray th... |
"So how do we want to handle Binns?" |
"Convince him to move on." Helena stated promptly. "Or in one of the clubs you suggested, maybe a history club of some sort. The students of this land must know their history!" |
"I agree ma’am. We’ll work something out o.k." She smiled at the determination on Helena’s face. She turned back to the council. "Any other business we need to discuss that is urgent?" |
They talked about an early warning system if there were any fights that looked like they were about to occur. They agreed that Lady Hogwarts, will most likely sleep for some time. Only able to give information here and there as she recovers her reserves. All in all, it was a good meeting. They decided to plan for a mee... |

The meeting with the elves was not so good. After practically begging them to take a seat, she began. She asked them about their duties and the like, but on the topic of security, she was a little appalled. |
"You mean to tell me." Carmen started in as calm a tone as she could muster. These elves were highly sensitive, no doubt attributed to the way that they are treated so she didn’t want to upset them. "That there is no ward to stop any house elf not employed by, or bound to Hogwarts from getting in the castle?" |
"No Mistress Warden Carmen Miss." |
"Alright. Maybe you all didn’t get the memo, but call me Carmen. You will not bow to me. I respect the magic of elves, and for the most part you will be treated as equals. All this mistress master stuff is kind of annoying. Oky doky. The first thing I’m asking of you folks is to come to me if any elf who is not either ... |
The elves nodded. |
After a moments pause she added. "Bring them to me alive if you can. Our first duty is to protect the students and staff." |
They nodded again. |
"We’ll talk again soon. Please bring me any concerns you have about security of the castle, staff, and students. Oh before I forget. Caille." |
Her friend and assistant appeared next to her. "Sup boss?" |
"This is Caille. She can come and go as she pleases. She’s not like British elves and bound to me. In fact, she has a higher security clearance than I do. Brat." She said fondly. |
"You love me and you know it. We done? I’m still gathering the supplies you wanted." |
"Yeppers. Just wanted the elves of the castle to see and feel your magic so that they know you aint a threat." |
"Alright I’m out." She popped away. |
"Well that’s it for now. Please enjoy the rest of your day." |
With the meeting wrapped up she went back to her quarters to rest. |

"What you working..." |
Harry smiled up at his lovers. He was in the Gryffindor common room huddled over multiple parchments. "I’m trying to get this equation right and it’s making my brain hurt to be honest." |
"You’ve been at it since before breakfast, and you’re about to be late for Transfiguration." Fred gathered up Harry’s work. "I’ll put these away in your trunk." |
Harry gathered up his bag and made a mad dash for the door. He made it to the sixth year transfiguration class in just the nick of time. |
There had been a spectacular row with Dumbledore and McGonagall. Dumbledore wanted Harry to resume only a few of his studies with the other fifth years and tried to commandeer his schedule. Albus pointed out that with the coming war, and since he had already taken his OWLs he should focus more on training to fight Vold... |
"He is a child Albus. Not a soldier, and if you were so concerned about his so called destiny, you would’ve started seeing to his training earlier! He’s already told you he doesn’t want any part of this war and that’s his choice!" By the end of her rant her brogue was in full force. The staff that were in the staff roo... |
In the end, Harry placed in all of his classes at the sixth year level. Well except for Arithmancy. He was stuck with the fourth years. Ron was a bit miffed, but he took it in stride. They still hung out in the common room, worked out together, and ate meals together. They even studied together, though the subjects wer... |
The problem was Harry was bored. |
Most of this material he had covered over the summer and he could most likely do it in his sleep at this point. His boredom must’ve showed, because Professor McGonagall called him out. |
"Is there a problem Mr. Potter?" |
"No professor." Harry squeaked as he jumped nearly a foot in the air from his seat. |
"Your mind was not in this classroom. Five points from Gryffindor for not paying attention." |
"I apologize professor. I will try not to let it happen again." |
"Very well Mr. Potter. Could you please demonstrate the spell?" |
Harry demonstrated the spell flawlessly. |
