Chapter 2: Peckers in the woods.
Two days had past since Alex Mattingly appeared at Hogwarts, and was sorted into Gryffindor. He was from some of the oldest wizarding blood on the isle, and his family name went back to being from Matt’s clearing in the woods, of the shires, which was now known as Hampshire county, and from a small town named after the family.
“All right class, gather ‘round, gather ‘round”, Hagrid boomed out. “I’ve got a real treat for ye today”.
“I was in the Forbidden Forest yesterday, ye see, and ran upon a nest of Peckers in a tree. Now these peckers would be magical peckers, they are, and we’ll be going in there to take a quick look at um, and see if we can watch the mummy and da’ raise um up over the year, you see”.
“Uh, excuse me, Professor Hagrid, but you’re saying they’re ‘Peckers’ in those woods? Would those be the kind of ‘Peckers’ with the red heads on them”? Alex Mattingly asked, and the class began to snicker. At this, Alex adjusted his red and gold tie, and gave Hagrid an award-winning smile.
“Why, yes young Alex, they will be the red-headed Peckers, and there’s a whole nest of um”. Hagrid crowed.
“Well you see, Professor Hagrid, Pansy here likes red headed Peckers, I’ve learned, and several other girls in school are known to study them too”. Alex explained, and another round of snorts, and chortles rang out, but Hagrid seemed unaware.
“Be ready to silence a few Gryffindors, Draco, because I know Granger is about ready to spout off”. Alex quickly whispered to his Slytherin classmate, Draco Malfoy, behind him, and turned his attention back to Hagrid.
“Really now, you’re a bird watcher, are ye Miss Parkinson? Well, I never thought it, but yea, I’ll let you get first sight of those Peckers, as soon as we get there”. Hagrid grinned, and started to make his way toward the forest.
About all the students were holding back peals of laughter, when Hermione, with gritted teeth, and stern attitude, set in, and started to speak up, but only to be hit from behind with a silencing charm. Her mouth went to complaining a mile a minute, but not one word reached the air.
“Wha’ the hell Mione…” Ron Weasley said, and was hit with the same charm. This, however, made him turn as red as his hair, draw up his fists, and turn on the crowd, only to be found facing Crabbe and Goyle, who in turn, looked like they would break him in two if he dared to act.
Harry Potter saw this, and wisely decided to stay quiet for the time being. He, however, was one of the ones who were holding in their laughter too. He didn’t know what to think of Alex quite yet, who was now a new roommate with him.
“You know, I bet you that Granger would like a red-headed Pecker, especially if she got a good look at one, what do you think Alex”? Draco asked.
“Why, I would say you’re probably correct, ol’ chap! I know our dear Pansy could introduce her to them easily enough, since she has such a talent with Peckers and all”. Alex agreed, and looked back at his classmates with a huge toothy grin. Pansy Parkinson stuck her tongue out at the boy.
Hermione Granger just looked like she could strangle the weedy Gryffindor, whether he was blood related to Godric Gryffindor, and Salazar Slytherin, or not. She never liked the skinny Yank, ever since he came to the school from the states in August.
“I say, professor Hagrid, there wouldn’t be any Pussy’s running around loose in the forest, would they, you know, with those Peckers in there in all”? Alex enquired, as if he was generally concerned for the Peckers well-being, which brought more chortles, and snorts.
“Wha? Oh, uhm, eh, yea, Pussy’s. Yea, they could be some of those loose, wild Pussy’s ye know, and all. There’s a few belongin’ to the students too”. Hagrid said, and several snorted. “Filch has Mrs. Norris, and I know Hermione there’s got a big hairy Pussy runnin’ around here somewhere the tother. I don’ think it’s all Pussy though, it’s mixed with somthin’”. The last was said in sort of a whisper, but being from Hagrid, they all overheard it.
Hermione looked like she was about to blow several gaskets at this while her head of steam was quickly building up, and she had turned a severe shade of reddish-purple. She quickly drew her wand, but two girls grabbed her from behind, and took it out of her hand before she could use it. Now, though, she looked like she could claw out someone’s eyes from their sockets.
“Another reason I was asking, Professor, was that I have this Crup, you see, I call him little Dickey”. Alex explained, and several loud snorts came from this. “Well, I’ve been thinking about getting permission to have them let me have Dickey out here at school, but you see, he’s prone to run after Pussy’s and all”.
“Likes to chase Pussy’s do he, eh”? Hagrid stopped in his tracks, and gave Alex a quick glance.
“Oh, yes sir, I can’t keep Dickey away from Pussy’s at all. He’s right fond of Pussy’s, my Dickey is, sir”. Alex replied. “Why, I’m now afraid if I brought him here, with all those Pussy’s running loose, I might not get my Dickey back for a month. The problem is, Professor Hagrid, sir, that when he catches one, he likes to EAT it”!
At this, several couldn’t hold it back any longer, and they burst out laughing, including Harry and Draco. Seamus Finnigan had to sit down, and cradle his head between his knees, while his shoulders shook, and his long time friend, Dean Thomas, had to look off at the lake, while he chewed on his lip until it bled.
“Oh, dear, that’s not good, not at all”! Hagrid exclaimed. “Have ye ever tried to brake him”?
“Oh, well, I have you see, sir, but it seems that he likes to eat Pussy more and more. You wouldn’t have any advise on how to break him of that, Professor, would you”? Alex enquired, and looked around at his classmates again with a sly grin.
Draco mumbled out, “Could show him Madam Maxine”, and got a few snickers. Hagrid glared a little at the blond, but Draco was sure he couldn’t have heard him.
“Not right off, Alex, ye have to teach them when they’re young, you do. He musta’ got the taste for Pussy when he was a young pup if that’s the case. Ye might not be able to break him now”. Hagrid explained.
“You know, one thing he don’t like, sir, is after chewing on one, it’s a bloody Pussy. No, he can’t stand that at all. I wonder if one could use that to break him somehow, you know, keep a bloody Pussy around, or just show him something with the blood on it”. Alex pondered aloud, as they walked.
“Don’ know how ye would do that, young Alex, to get the blood an’ all”. Hagrid explained, and moved on into the forest.
“Well, I was thinking of a rag, professor. You know, a big bloody rag”. Alex said cheerfully, and several made gagging noises from behind him. “I bet that would turn Dickey right off of them”.
“Would anyone”. Harry muttered with a snicker, and Hermione, having had enough, slapped him hard across the chest, which earned her a glare.
“All right all, gather around the tree here! You’ll all get a good look at these Peckers in a mo’”. Hagrid said, as he started to bend down a huge limb with a nest residing inside a large knot on it.
“Yes, Pansy and Hermione, come up here and get close, so you can get a good look at these red-headed Peckers. I know you’ve been salivating at the mouth to see one up close, and all”! Alex exclaimed, and then dodged a swipe at his head by Pansy. Hermione looked like she was going to flay him the first chance she got, along with the two girls who currently had her wand.
They all gathered around, and looked into the nest, to see four baby Peckers. They were all chirping away, wanting their mummy, as one stretched its neck up, it coughed up something white.
“Well, lookie there, Granger, that Pecker spit out something white. I sure am glad that hairy Pussy of yours wasn’t around for that”. Alex crowed, as Hermione picked up a large stick, and chased the boy back to the castle, all the while, they could hear his raucous laughter ringing back to them.
‘Yes’, Harry thought, ‘Alex Mattingly is a right prankster, and a comedian, and Fred and George had a lot of competition coming their way’.
Later that evening, over supper, Hagrid began to tell some of the other professors about Alex’s Crup, Dickey, and poor Severus Snape had to leave his full plate of food, untouched, and head to the dungeons for a headache reliever, which consisted of a jigger of Old Ogden’s fire whisky, and a phial of calming draught, mixed together, and that was on the rocks.
No, Hogwarts would never be the same after this year, and that Severus was sure of.
