Trick or Treat and Other Nuisances
"Bing Bong" The door chime rang loudly. The short, plump, owner of the small house in a muggle neighborhood sighed and grumbled to herself. "I turn off the lights. I don't decorate. I park the car down the street . You would think that was enough to keep people away from the door on Halloween ! I even put up No Candy signs and still they come! Sometimes I think I must be cursed!"
"BING BONG bing bong bing bong" chimed the door again.
" Oh alright I'm coming, I'm coming . Hold your shirt on!"
Mary struggled toward the door in the dark still grumbling to herself about children Halloween and holidays in general as she reached the door and yanked it open saying " Can't you read? It says NO Can... " The words died on her lips. Her mouth dropped open and she stared stunned at the person standing outside her home . There in all his ragged glory stood Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore.
"Hullo Mary, Aren't you going to invite me in?"
"B..b..Brian? Wha...why...Never mind ! Get in here before someone sees you!"
" Happy Halloween Mary!"
Mary stuck her head out the door and looked in every direction trying to make certain no one else was watching before she slammed the door closed and locked both the knob and the deadbolt.
"What the devil are you doing here Brian?"
"Why Mary, can't an old friend visit without any particular reason?"
"Oh no, Don't you try that on me Brian! I know you never do anything without a reason or usually several reasons. Whatever you are trying to sell me on I'm not buying it ! Not for a second!"
"Oh come my dear girl. We haven't had the chance to visit in ages. Can't you just accept that I was in the neighborhood and decided to look up an old friend?"
"NO! Get real Brian . For once in your life be honest instead of secretive! Why are you here?"
"Really my dear , must you be so paranoid?"
"Well , let me think ...YES!"
"Truly Mary, I have missed you and wished to visit"
"Hmphh, That maybe be part of the truth but I seriously doubt it's the whole truth not by a long shot!" now Why are you here Brian? Out with it ! Or you can turn around and aperate yourself out of here."
Mary reached down on her side looking for her wand holster then remembered she had changed for bed early and her wand was sitting on her dresser in the bedroom. She knew that Brian would have his wand out and a defense or three ready before she could accio hers. He may be old but he was doubtless still wicked fast! She let out a sigh through her nose that came out sounding half like a growl.
" Really my dear , the least you could do is off me a butter beer , or some pumpkin juice"
Mary sighed again more loudly. It was no good she thought. Even if he made her angry she still couldn't stay mad at him. That in itself was so frustrating.
"Oh alright" she said trying to fight down a smile that threatened to break out on her face. He may have won this small battle but she was determined that when he finally told her what he wanted from her she was going to turn him down purely on principle. That thought made the corners of her mouth almost twitch up to a grin. "have a seat while I get you something"
Mary went into the kitchen and poured a mug of chocolate milk which she then placed into her microwave and hit the one minute timer. She then took a saucer out of the cupboard and put some lemon cream cookies on it remembering that Brian had a terrible sweet tooth. The microwave beeped. She took out the mug grabbed the plate of cookies and almost jumped out of her skin as Dumbledore spoke from directly behind her.
"What wonderful machines these muggles create! They make life almost as easy as magic!"
"Don't sneak up on me like that!"
Her hand trembled so that the chocolate sloshed back and forth in the cup not quite spilling.
"Here my dear, you had better give me the cookies and you drink whatever it is in the cup you look as though you could use a drink"
Mary didn't even think twice about it and started to take a large gulp of hot chocolate which made here eyes water and burnt her tongue. Dumbledore took the cup from her leading her over to a large overstuffed chair and said " sit down my dear, relax a little"
She sat , heaved a few deep breathes and let them out.
"There" , He said " isn't that better"
Mary glared up at him still fighting to stay mad at him and still finding it difficult and frustrating.
"Now tell me my dear what have you been doing all these years"
" Leading a quiet , peaceful , ordinary life !"
"Oh yes? I would hardly call using muggle machines ordinary for a witch"
"Don't knock it till you've tried it. Muggles can be extremely creative and a little physical labor never hurt anyone. It might even do you some good to try living like a muggle for a few days. Not that I believe for a minute you could manage it!"
"Oh I think I might just surprise you my dear"
"Hah! Fat chance! I bet you ten galleons you couldn't make it one day"
"Hmmm...If you really want to wager we should make the stakes a bit higher. After all both of us have small fortunes so a few galleons is hardly a bet."
He had lulled her into a corner now and could almost taste victory. She was off her guard he could tell.
"Fine , she answered you go without using magic for anything for a full twenty four hours and you win.
If you don't manage it then you never get to ask another favor of me again ever! Agreed?"
"Yes, however if I win you owe me three huge favors to be delivered upon request without argument"
"I KNEW IT , I Knew It! Here it comes ! The true reason for your visit"
"Really my dear you were the one who suggested a wager. If you are admitting you were wrong however I suppose I win by default"
"Oh no you don't ! But if the stakes are that high then it's forty eight hours!"
"High? I would hardly call three favors high..."
"If it suited your purpose you would hardly call Merlin a wizard!"
"Very well my dear , forty eight hour it is"
Forty nine hours later Mary found herself on her way to Hogwart's school of witchcraft and wizardry To teach two different subjects for eight periods a day each.
