Chapter 11: Going to the Castle

Sal was going back to his and Becca’s living quarters when he heard singing coming from the bedroom.

(singing)

“Going to the castle and I’m gonna teach children…”

“Going to the castle and I’m gonna... (end singing)

“What in the name of Merlin are you doing?” Salazar asked his wife.

“I'm packing up some things I want to take with us to the castle,” she answered sincerely.

“No, I mean what are you singing? I have never heard such a song,” Sal grumbled at her.

“Well, those really aren’t the words that go with the tune. It’s a Muggle song and the real words are:

(singing)

“Going to the chapel and I’m gonna get married...

Going to the chapel and I’m gonna get married...”

(end singing)

“Alright already." he grumbled, "You are already married, so why are you singing that…”

“It just seemed to fit. We are going to the castle to teach children and play havoc with the current system. Doesn’t that make you a little joyful?” Becca said with a wide smile on her face, green eyes flashing and her long, waist-length black hair, swinging as she turned around again.

Sal shook his head, a chuckle escaping from his chest at the ridiculousness of his wife and lover.

Becca changed the subject and asked her husband, “I wanted to go see Doc and look at some of the files of possible exchange students for the NEWT levels. You know we spoke about some of the students that had ambitions to become healers coming to learn some of his methods of treating magical exhaustion and dark curses. They have to finish their other subjects at Hogwarts. We want to make sure the curriculum is comparable in both schools.”

“Sure, I need to speak with Harry and Severus this afternoon to find out about the scholarship funds they have allocated. How long will you be gone?”

“A couple of hours I would think. You know you should be calling him Severs; no one ever uses his changed name, but they should.”

“Yeah, well it’s hard to get used to. Will I see you at dinner?”

Becca nodded her head and after a brief, but passionate kiss, her husband left. She went back to humming the tune she was singing earlier. She didn’t know why she was so happy, but there was a joyful feeling running through her entire body, almost as if someone had hit her with several cheering charms.

Later that same day…

Salazar had a few things to do in the lab before he made his way to the quarters of Severus and Harry. He had been thinking about what Becca had been doing and it was such odd behavior, he thought he should talk to the two men about it.

“So, Sal, how are the school problems coming along? Replaced the Board of Governors yet?” Harry asked with a smirk. He had heard Sal complain and rant about people not doing their jobs and getting paid for it, and Ministry people planted into the group in an attempt to infiltrate the school.

“Don’t get me started on that again. Those people are idiots. But at least now they are unpaid idiots. I am still trying to sort through where the scholarship money has been going. Most of it I can account for, but it seems that some of it was siphoned off to other ventures that I have not been able to identify. For example, tell me why the Weasleys needed money from the scholarship fund when they already have a fund set up from your mini-floo product testing?”

Severus raised his eyebrow in surprise. “There was an application filled out?”

Salazar nodded, “For the full amount of tuition and books. I vetoed it straight away and started looking into some of the others. I then had Gorbink look at them and tell me if the families had unused vaults. He located three more applicants that were then denied.”

“I thought when they signed the application, they were making a magically sworn oath that there was a need for the money,” Severus speculated.

“Someone changed it when he took the Headmaster’s position. Care to guess who?” Salazar informed him.

“Dumbledore!” Harry and Severus answered in exasperation together. It didn’t exactly take a genius to figure that one out.

“It seems that man reaches us from the grave,” Harry speculated.

“In more ways than one,” replied Salazar. “Have you ever seen Aberforth Dumbledore come to the school in your time to help Albus?”

“Who is Aberforth Dumbledore?” Harry asked. He had never heard of the man before.

“The old man that owns the Hogs Head Inn, the dodgy place you had your meeting in when you decided to rebel and teach the DA,” Severus informed the younger man then turned to Sal. “I have never seen Aberforth Dumbledore in the castle. Not even in all the years I was a student or a teacher, at least not from our time line. Why?”

“Because, he is spending a lot of time at the castle ‘helping’ McGonagall and it seems out of character, especially since he knows so much about the paperwork and students.”

“Do you think there is something to worry about?”

“I don’t know, but I am going to keep my eyes open for other unusual things and I have some of our friends looking into it too. We should be leaving in a few days to get ready for the new school year. We have to hire seven new teachers and that, in itself, can be very daunting.”

“How did that work out with the funding?” Harry asked. He knew that, with any school, money was a problem but especially with Hogwarts right now.

“Our projected budget is still less than last year, now that the board isn’t getting paid and the scholarships are handled better. It boggles the mind to think how much money has been misappropriated through that school.”

“How is Becca taking all of this? Does she know what kind of duties she is taking on? She will not only teach potions, but will also be Slytherin Head of House.” Severus commented.

“Becca is really happy about it. She was singing this morning as she packed. I have never heard her do that before. Changing the words of muggle tunes and singing about going to the castle. It was… odd.”

“Singing Muggle tunes?” Harry perked up at this part of the conversation. “How has she been feeling?”

Salazar looked at the younger man keenly, and said, “She’s feeling fine. Why?”

“Just asking,” he said as Severus put a hand on his thigh and squeezed very hard to stop him from saying anything else. Harry had to school his facial features to keep from wincing in pain.

Salazar looked at the men in front of him. It looked like Harry wanted to say something else, but he held his tongue so Sal let it go. “We will be seeing you later. Becca wants to come and talk to the children before we leave. It is going to be hard on her at first, but somehow I have a feeling she will be spoiling the kids at the school, until your own get there. It’s been six years since we got married; perhaps its time to start a family of our own. We may need some potions help. We haven’t used any contraceptives for over a year now.”

“It will probably come when you least expect it.” Severus said, holding his face in a neutral expression. He knew from experience that pregnancies could crop up at the oddest times.

That same afternoon at the medical ward…

Doc and Becca had completed their meeting. It would take some work but most of the subjects Hogwarts already had were in line with the ones needed for the transfer students, or could be easily modified. The other classes that needed to be added or supplemented were already under preparation.

There were twelve students coming from several different countries that wanted to become healers. They would be arriving at Hogwarts to take their last year or two of school, as well as to start healer training courses. Most of these courses would be generalized, but a few were going to get into further detail about Doc’s treatment of magical exhaustion and healing of dark curses. They were all sixth and seventh year students, but would be taking a three-year course between Hogwarts and the medical center. There were even two students coming from America, sponsored by the American Ministry for Magic and Salem hospital to learn his techniques.

Doc had so much success that other patients were often transported to his medical clinic from St. Mungo’s or in extreme cases he would go to them; sometimes even going out of the country as he did when in New Zealand.

When the meeting was concluded, Doc looked sharply at Becca and asked, “How have you been feeling lately?”

“Fine, actually great! I think I worried Sal earlier though, when he heard me singing a revised version of a Muggle song while I was packing a few things to take to Hogwarts.”

“When was the last time you had a physical? I don’t think I have seen you as a patient for the last two years.”

“Has it been that long? I haven’t had any problems and we have been so busy.”

“I think it would be a good idea to do a quick scan on you before you leave. How about going into one of the exam rooms and I will go get your chart?”

Becca left to do as Doc bid. She watched as he left the room in search of her medical chart and wondered what brought this up all of a sudden. It wasn’t like she needed treatment for anything. She felt fine and hadn’t even had a cold for the last three years that she could remember. She knew better than to argue with Doc though.

“So how are the plans for Hogwarts coming?” Doc asked in conversation to take Becca’s mind off the scan. “All ready to go?”

“Mostly, we have a few more last minute decisions to make. We are shifting some of the Prince elves there to help the teachers in the classroom and dorms. The Prince elves are better trained but they will also train the Hogwarts elves.”

After a few scans and a double check on her overall health, Doc finished his exam.

“Alright, girl, you can get up. Everything is right as rain. I want to see you in my office in a few minutes. I just need to go get something from the potions supply closet.”

Becca frowned but got up, straightened her clothes and walked down the hall to Doc’s office. Why would he need a potion?

She sat in his office waiting patiently and humming her little tune from earlier. It was like one of those tunes that get stuck in your head and you can’t get it out. Doc was standing outside his door listening to the nonsensical words she was singing under her breath. He hadn’t heard that kind of happiness come from her since she had been pregnant for Evan. He smiled before entering his office with the potions he wanted her to take, wondering if she knew what was going to come.

“Now, Becca, these are nutrient potions. I am giving you a week supply, but have Sal, Sev or someone at Prince Pharmaceuticals make you a fresh batch every week. I want to see you again in another month and no skipping meals.”

“Doc, what exactly is going on?” Becca inquired. Doc was acting awfully funny.

“You are two weeks pregnant.”

Becca slumped back in her seat. Now? She had to be pregnant now?

“I see this has taken you by surprise. I thought you and Sal were talking about starting a family?”

“Yeah, we were, I mean we are. I mean… I just didn’t think it would happen for a while. I was focused on going to Hogwarts. How does this affect my plans to teach?”

“You are teaching the younger years. Nothing poisonous so it shouldn’t affect your plans very much. Use protective clothing and if there is something you are doing that is more dangerous, get the other teacher to do it,” Doc advised her simply. He knew he wouldn't be able to talk her out of teaching, but he also knew she would be involved in many of the other duties that needed help at the school.

Doc smiled as Becca left his office in a somewhat dazed state. He remembered when she had been pregnant for Evan. Other than the unusual cravings, she showed very few symptoms except sometimes she could be heard singing or humming the strangest things. It had been quite the joke for awhile, but he hadn't heard it since before Evan was born. That woman was a natural-born mother, made to surround herself with children.

The fun continues at Prince Stronghold...

Harry was laughing with his husband after Sal left for his own apartments. They were anxiously waiting for the announcement that Sal was finally told he was going to have his long awaited child.

"Harry, there could be another reason for Becca singing like that. She may do that at other times." Severs Prince reminded his husband while not believing a word he was saying.

"Yeah, right and I could be pregnant too." he joked. "She sings wizard songs all the time but not the Muggle ones; she only lets other people hear her when she is pregnant. You know that even towards the end of her pregnancy when she was carrying Evan, she quit singing so much."

“I have to admit, it is one of her more bizarre behaviors, but I can say I am very happy for them," Severus said with a far-off look in his eyes. He wouldn't mind it if he and Harry had a few more children. Evan and Lili were almost seven years old and there was no reason to wait if they were going to have more. They had just been busy with the rest of the family raising the children and now working on revitalizing Hogwarts.

That evening Sal floo-called everyone he could think of to tell them the good news, some of them he called twice just to be sure the news got out. A future Slytherin was on the way!

A few weeks later at Hogwarts Castle ...

It was almost the end of June when Salazar and his wife Rebecca walked into the massive front doors of the castle that held Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They came with a small contingent of twenty house elves, three goblins, and the current members of the School Board of Governors (totaling twelve) trailing behind--including Lucius Malfoy; then, trailing behind them were Harry Pratt Prince and Severs Masterson Prince (the names they had taken when entering this timeline). Lucius Malfoy was at the forefront of the Governors, but behind the Slytherins, while Severs and Harry were in the back trying to be inconspicuous.

Salazar had specifically brought the group at a time he knew Aberforth Dumbledore would not be at the castle. It had taken weeks of planning and going through the books to get an idea of what needed to be done. He was of the opinion that the whole curriculum, scheduling, and accounting systems needed a complete overhaul. He was quite happy that he had been able to 'guilt' the remaining School Governors into taking on the task after eliminating their pay from the budget. They were all wealthy purebloods and hadn't really needed the money anyway.

As everyone started up the steps to go into the castle, Harry was watching from his position in the back of the group and started thinking, “We look more like an invading army, than a group to help the school.” But an invading army was a very accurate description. They were there to change and make things better, waging war on the current situation. No one was looking to dismiss the current Headmistress; they were there to try to show her a better way to run the school and hopefully make it easier to implement changes.

Head Elf Kinty met them at the castle doors and bowed respectfully. His old tea towel looked very dingy next to the incoming house elves in their smart uniforms. Their clothing had the logos to show where they would be working in the castle and what teachers or departments they would be assigned to. Each male was dressed in a three piece suit with shoes. Each suit jacket had the Hogwarts crest on the right side and underneath was embroidered the title and name of the elf. Another logo was on the left to show what subject that elf was to assist in. The female elves were in dresses with a blouse underneath and a jacket with the same logos. Each suit was colored differently for what they were assisting in. Black was for potions, blue for charms, green for Arithmancy, grey for Defense and the elves that were to assist the headmistress were in gold.

The elves were excited to be there. After years of study and working for Prince Conglomerate, they were finally back at Hogwarts. Even though it was not their Hogwarts, from their time line, it still felt like home. These would be the elves that helped change the school. Some of them had been in this timeline for more than thirty years, studying and learning just for this purpose.

There were others that would be coming later as these were only the first of many. These had come now to get the teachers acclimated before the term that would start in September.

Minerva McGonagall had seen the small army coming toward the castle from her window in the designated Headmistress' office. She couldn't imagine why she was getting so many visitors, but she hurriedly made her way down to the front doors where she found Kinty, her head elf, greeting them.

It wasn't until she arrived in front of the group that she realized Salazar Slytherin was leading them.

"Mr. Slytherin, what is the meaning of this?" the Headmistress asked sternly. If she was going to be invaded by a group of people and creatures, someone should have at least notified her about it.

"Hello, Headmistress McGonagall," Salazar greeted the woman with his best smirk in place. "I am sure you recognize the School Governors? We are here to go over all the books of the school and prepare for the next semester."

The stern older woman stood rigid, not moving a muscle and then blinked. It was obvious she was in a state of shock and didn't know what to say. Her heart started to pound and at first she was afraid that she had been fired. Why would so many of them be here if not to let her go? She blinked again and turned her head back to Salazar. Perhaps he was going to be the new Headmaster and she would be forced to retire?

What was going to happen to the school now?

Chapel of Love, written by: Jeff Barry; Ellie Greenwich; Phil Spector

She’s baaaack. I am so sorry for the long wait, my boss has had me on a project for nearly a year but it’s finished and was a great success. It seems every time I tried to sit down to write my muse was focused on the project at hand and not my writing. That is when I even had time after working 70 to 80 hours a week.

Thank you to everyone who emailed me and asked how I was doing. I hope you are all doing well. There will be an update at least once a week from here on out barring any real life problems or more ‘projects’ from the guys who actually do pay me.
