Chapter Seven: Brawling, Bedtime and Bagles

DISCLAIMER: You know Harry Potter and his friends and teachers and the whole world that he exists in? Yeah, they aren't ours, and more's the pity. They belong to the utterly brilliant mind of J.K. Rowling-the lucky gal! We will return everybody and everything in a mostly recognizable state when we're done playing! We promise!

Cass here! Just to let you know, we have nicknames that might confuse. Sarah is Lex, and Renee is Cass (which is me!!!!). Just to clear up any confusion. Enjoy!

***Friday Night***

Sarah stepped out of the bathroom fully dressed in her sleep pants and a shirt that had a scowling cat on it. The faded print proclaimed 'I hate mornings' in large pink script beside the picture of the rising sun. Everyone had already made noises about going to bed but seemed reluctant to actually move to do so. Draco had disappered about twenty minutes ago, claiming he wanted to go to sleep seeing as he had clearly lost his mind and was becoming a hug-me-Hufflepuff. Sarah and Renee exchanged a smile when he wished good night to everyone in his rather surly manner. "Good night, you goody-goody Gryffindors. Don't go saving the world and forget to wake me," he had quipped, smiling slightly when they had bid him good night pleasantly.

"I'm going to become unconsious," Sarah said, standing from the bench and stretching. "Night everyone," she said as she wandered out of the kitchen, smiling as Uraeus bid her good night as he coiled around her wrist.

Hearing her phone jingling the sound effects of a game, Sarah followed the noise to the main library of the house. Looking in the room she saw the Wombat currently playing a game on her cell phone. "What the hell do you think you're doing with my phone?" she demanded, stalking into the room.

"Playing a game," he said, focusing his attention on the game. She snatched the cell phone from him and frowned when he tried to get it back. "But I'm so close to getting a high score!" Draco whined, hearing the 'you died, loser' music now coming from the device. "Thanks a lot, Pishon. I was only twenty points away from a new high score!"
"Stop whining, Wombat," Sarah said. "You didn't even ask me."

"You and what's-her-name were talking to everyone and ignoring me," Draco objected, making up the first excuse that came to mind. "Tigris," he recalled her name belatedly.

"Keep in mind that what's-her-name and I saved your ass back in Diagon Alley," Sarah frowned.

"Yeah, unfortunately, in the process most of Diagon Alley got blown up," Draco returned quickly. Sarah went quiet for a moment, considering this. Draco rearranged himself on the couch and grinned at her smugly. Counting backward from five, Sarah attempted to reign in her temper. When that didn't work with the sneering little snot sitting in front of her, Sarah decided that the next course of action was just as good as violence. But, of course, without the possibility of getting yelled at by Molly Weasley.

Pouncing upon him, Sarah straddled him and pinned him to the couch by his shoulders. "Now, since I'd be yelled at by Molly for beating you, I'm going to do the next best thing to it," Sarah grinned her face an inch from his. "Most people are ticklish right...here," she said digging her fingers into his ribs.

"Ahh! No! Hahaha, stop it! Haha!" the blonde writhed beneath her, attempting to free himself. Laughing uncontrollably as he flailed and simultaneously tried to grab her hands, Draco let out another yell, with Sarah's amused laughter mixing with his. "Can't breathe!" Draco said, his chest heaving and his face flushed. Sarah let up for a moment, pinning his wrists above his head.

"Now, are you going to behave?" Sarah asked him sweetly, lowering her face until they were nose to nose.

"Define behave," Draco said quietly, his chest still heaving. Sarah frowned at him and her hands shot to his ribs, tickling him again. "No! Damnit knock it off!" he snapped, bucking up and pushing her off of him. Next thing Sarah knew, she was the one laughing uncontrollably and writhing under the young man. Remus Lupin burst into the room, and Draco looked up, giving Sarah a moment to gain the upper hand. Rolling to the side, Sarah and Draco hit the floor, Sarah straddling him once again and tickling him until he nearly screamed.

Severus ran into the room, followed closely by a red-faced Renee. "Damn stairs," Renee gasped, leaning heavily against the doorjam as the three of them watched the tickling battle. Draco rolled them once again and they nearly crashed into the coffee table. As Sarah flipped them over the other way; Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked past.

"World War Three going on in here or something?" Hermione asked.

"Or something," Renee grinned.

"Whatever. Just as long as they don't kill one another," Hermione shrugged. Harry hesitated a moment longer, shrugging as well and following after Ron and Hermione.

Remus tried not to smile as Sarah pinned Draco on his stomach and held one arm behind his back. "Beg for mercy, Wombat!" she crowed triumphantly.
"Never!" Draco spat, flailing.
"Beg!" she demanded, tickling him with her free hand.

"Get off!" Draco said, managing to roll and pin her beneath him. Both red faced, panting and smiling; Draco and Sarah both looked utterly shocked when Severus cleared his throat loudly.

"Pr-Professor Snape!" Sarah squeaked, both of their gazes flicking back and forth from one another to the three at the door. "It's not what it looks like, I swear to the gods!" Sarah said when Renee raised an eyebrow at her.

"And what do you think it looks like?" Renee asked with a smirk.

"That we...that he and I... Never mind," Sarah said, roughly shoving him off.

"I am going back downstairs. And I am going to sleep. Everyone can fuck off and bite me," Renee grumbled sleepily, heading out of the room and towards the stairs to the bedroom Mrs. Wealsey had assigned her. "The next person that wakes me or makes me run up the goddamned stairs will find hell to pay!" Renee said loudly as she reached the ground floor.

"Don't forget to take some of the Dreamless Sleep potion," Arthur told her as he walked past on his way up the stairs.

"Good night, Mr. Weasley," Renee said, walking back into the side parlor.

"Now we already decided the sleeping arrangements. Sarah, you will be sleeping with Renee in the side parlor, Draco you will be will with Stefan," Remus said.
"Wonderful," Draco drawled dryly.
Before anyone could protest the arrangement, Molly could be heard yelling from the first floor. "Go to bed! We have much to accomplish tomorrow."

*b4b*b4b*b4b*b4b*b4b*

***Saturday Morning***

Listening to the old house creak and moan as the first people stirred in the early morning, Renee lay staring up at the ceiling, the fire burning low in the fireplace. With a sigh, Renee rose to toss another log on the fire. Hearing the stairs creak, she peaked out of the door of the room. Seeing Severus pass by the doorway of the kitchen, she turned and fled back to the couch, wincing when she heard him walking toward the room. Sarah snored on, still out cold on the other couch that Mrs. Weasley had turned into a bed for her.

Dashing to the couch, Renee lay back down and shut her eyes just as the door creaked open. "You're faking it," Severus said quietly, entering the room. "I thought I told you to take the Dreamless Sleep potion?" he frowned quietly, with a glance over at the still-sleeping Sarah.

"I don't need a damned potion to sleep," Renee snapped, giving up the failed ruse and sitting up. "And I don't want one either," she said looking at him in the shadows.

"Have you slept at all?" he asked neutrally.

"Yes."

"Did you sleep well?" he prodded after a moment of silence.

"Yes."

"Do you intend to be this monosyllabic all day or am I just lucky enough that you have not fully awakened?" the professor attempted to get some reaction from her.

"I'd rather listen to music," Renee said, letting the silence fill the room as she rose from the couch.

"The others are awake and should be down here soon. I would suggest commandeering the downstairs bathroom while you still can. The Weasley clan can take forever," Severus said, motioning to her bags piled in the corner. "Here are your things. There are towels already in the bathroom." As more creaking of floorboards was heard, he scowled as a door slammed and someone thumped. "Again I would advise you to hurry and grab the washroom before someone else does," he said, turning and leaving the room.

Renee stared after him a moment, yawned and debated going back to bed for a split second. A glance at her watch told her it was just past seven in the morning. "At least I have a while before Lex gets up," Renee smiled, digging through her suitcase for a fresh change of clothes. As she reached the bathroom, she heard someone coming down the stairs. Readjusting her hold on her CD player, she smiled slightly at Professor Snape who was deeply emmersed in a book as he leaned against the wall of the front hall.

"Uh, Professor Snape?" Renee attempted to get his attention. He looked up at her and frowned.

"Not in the shower yet?" he asked her, glancing at the grandfather clock down the hall.

"I was wondering if you could do a silencing charm?" Renee asked, feeling very foolish standing in a hallway with her CD player under one arm and a change of clothes in the other. When he only arched an eyebrow in question as a response, she sighed. "I usually listen to music when in the shower...Loudly," she added. "I don't want to disturb anyone." The professor nodded once and slipped a piece of paper into the book. "Thanks. Last thing I want is Lex yelling at me this early in the morning," Renee smiled.

Severus cast the Silencing Charm over the bathroom and wandered into the kitchen for a cup of tea, irritated that he found himself wondering what the young woman's musical tastes ran toward.

Fifteen minutes later Renee opened the bathroom door and stepped out, backpedaling as Crookshanks raced by followed by Hermione.

"Morning," Hermione smiled as she went past, irritatingly awake.

"Hey," Renee said, making sure the towel was piled carefully on top of her head. Her black denim jeans still felt a little tight with the moisture still sticking the fabric to her skin, but the simple black cotton top hung loosely around her frame to mid thigh. The bellbottom jeans flared as she walked across the hall, her dirty clothes in hand.

"Renee, what happened to your head?" Remus asked with a grin as he nearly collided with her as she cut through the kitchen.

"Nothing but soap. Morning to you too, Remus," Renee smiled, rolling her eyes and grabbing an apple from the bowl on the table as she walked by. Munching into it, she tossed her dirty clothes in the general direction of her unzipped duffel bag.

"You need to take another dose of the healing potion for your hands and the protien serum before you go anywhere," Severus said as he came into the room bearing two bottles.

"Yeah, yeah," Renee frowned, looking around for something. "Are we even going today? I thought everything was blown up yesterday," Renee asked.

"You will be surprised how quickly the wizarding world can find ways to go on with life. Diagon Alley in particular," Severus said, pouring the healing potion into a brandy glass.

"Do I really have to take that stuff? I mean, I feel fine," Renee protested as the dubious looking liquid was presented to her.

"You did not get a good night's sleep; nor did you take the Dreamless Sleep potion as you were told. Yes, you have to. No arguments at all," Severus scowled, pushing the potions towards her once more.

Renee sighed and downed both potions in quick succession, grimacing at the taste and taking another bite of her apple to wash it away. "So, Arthur and Molly are taking Lex and I to Diagon Alley?" she asked him after swallowing, shoving her old clothes into the duffel bag and zipping it shut.

"Actually, there has been a change of plans," Molly said as she came into the room. "Arthur is feeling much worse than yesterday and I am staying here. Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall will be accompanying you and Sarah to Diagon Alley. I actually think that it would be better as they are your official sponsors, don't you agree, Sarah?" Molly inquired as a bleary-eyed Sarah shuffled into the room.

"Ugh," Sarah groaned as she flopped onto the couch Renee had slept on.

"Get up, Lex. Go take your shower," Renee said, poking Sarah in the hip with her foot. Sarah swatted at her, missing completely and Renee smiled.

"I had better take the charm off of the bathroom," Severus said; heading from the washroom.

"Wait, I still have my CD player on!" Renee attempted to warn him.

A moment later, music nearly shook the foundations of the house as thundering strains of Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' belted out of the bathroom. Renee raced into the bathroom and frantically hit the stop button, ripping the CD from the player. "Sorry about that," Renee said sheepishly, exiting the bathroom to a host of stares and glares. "Sorry," she said quietly again, disappearing back into the sideroom to stuff the CD player back into her bag. "Go take your shower, Lex," Renee frowned, metaphorically kicking Sarah out.

"Okay, okay, screw off! I'm going! Gods above," Sarah snapped, shutting the door behind her.

With a sigh, Renee lay back on the couch, unwrapping her hair from its towel. Taking another bite of her apple, Renee set the mostly gone fruit on the table and sat up. As her tailbone-length hair fell in massive waves around her, Renee pulled her knees to her chest and looked into the fire, her mind wandering.

"Miss Tigris, are you hungry?" Stefan asked as he walked into the room. "Miss Tigris?" he repeated. Stepping closer to the couch, he touched her shoulder.

Instantly, Renee smacked his hand away, somehow landing upside down on the floor, scowling up at him as she slid her legs off the couch and onto the floor so she could stand. "What do you want?" she asked, wincing at the harsh tone she used, almost apologizing.

"Breakfast is ready," he said coldly, frowning.

"Thanks," she said, scooping up her apple. "But I've eaten," she said, taking another bite of the fruit.

"A single apple doesn't constitute as a decent breakfast," he responded, opening the door again and scowling as he went to leave the room.

"For me it does," Renee shrugged, laying back on the couch. Letting her hair down again, she curled into a ball and let her eyes drift closed as her mind wandered and Stefan left the room silently.

"Weirdo," Stefan mumbled as he left the room.

"I really want a bagel," Renee frowned once she was sure he had left the room. "With cream cheese."

*b4b*b4b*b4b*b4b*b4b*

"Where is Miss Tigris?" Severus asked as he and McGonagall came into the room. Sarah put the last dish away and turned to him.

"Renee is asleep on the couch," Sarah said, smiling in hello to McGonagall.

"Wake her please," Professor McGonagall said, pulling on a Muggle jacket. Sarah nodded and disappeared from the room. "Go about your business, you five. Go find something to do," McGonagall said, shooing them from the kitchen.

"Wizard's chess, anyone?" Draco asked.
"Never played," Stefan admitted.
"I'll teach you," Harry offered.
"We want him to play well, Potter, not get slaughtered every game," Draco sneered, smiling slightly at the end of the barb.
"Oh, and you can?" Hermione asked.
"I can play better than anyone I know," Draco insisted proudly.

"You're on!" Ron grinned as they all went upstairs. "You don't know me very well, Malfoy. Prepare for defeat!"

"Renee? Wakey wakey..." Sarah said, knocking on the door of the sideroom.

"Hmph...." grumbling incoherently, Renee sat up, her hair curtained wildly about her.

"You look like Cousin Itt," Sarah smiled, handing her friend her glasses.

"Shut up, Lex," Renee yawned. "Five more minutes," she objected, lying back down on the couch.

"Nope, up. Shopping time," Sarah smiled.

"I hate shopping," Renee responded, sitting up anyhow. "I still can't believe I agreed to go back to school. There's no way in hell I'll be able to learn everything in one year! I don't wanna wear uniforms." Renee crossed her arms over her chest grumpily and huffed.

"Oh quit bitching, Renee; like you care what you wear!" Sarah said as she watched Renee wrestle her hair back into a ponytail.

"Schoolgirl skirts have never been a part of ANY of my outfits. I will simply have to find an alternative...Or get really creative," Renee grinned evilly, finally waking up.

"What's wrong with the uniform skirts? I think they�re cute," Sarah said.

"I will refrain from commenting on that," Renee said dryly.

"Well, in any case, Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape are waiting on us. Get a move on, girl," Sarah said, tossing Renee her shoes.

"Bite me, Lex," Renee snapped halfheartedly, pulling on her shoes and stretching.

"Nah, you might give me rabies or something," Sarah smiled. With a roll of her eyes, Renee linked arms with Sarah and the two went from the room.
"Isn't Stefan coming with us?" Renee asked as they reached the front door. The two professor stared at her as if she had grown multiple heads in an instant. "What? Isn't he going to Hogwarts too?"
McGonagall and Snape exchanged a glance and McGonagall nodded. "Mr. Tobias!" she bellowed up the stairs.
"Yeah?" he stuck his head out of the doorway and then over the railing of the stairs. "Whazap?"
"You're coming with us," Professor Snape snapped, whirrling away and out the door.
"Whatever," he shrugged, coming down the stairs.
"Like, this is a total adventure," Renee mocked his accent as he walked by her.
"I totally dig this whole magic world thing you guys have," he ignored Renee's comment as he grabbed the coat that McGonagall tossed at him. "Like, it's total New Age awesomeness."
"Right," McGongall looked slightly perplexed at the boy's odd lingo. "Stay close you three," she commanded.
"Totally. It'd be way bad to get lost," Stefan said hurrying out the door.
"I still don't want to wear the stupid skirts," Renee said with a frown as she and Sarah followed McGonagall, Stefan, and Snape from the house.

*b4b*b4b*b4b*b4b*b4b*

***Late Saturday Night***

"I hate shopping," Renee said as they walked back into the house later that night.

"Well, look at it this way," Sarah said cheerfully, following right behind her. "We won't have time to shop once school starts."

"Yeah. I'm hungry. I'm getting a snack," Renee said, setting her new purchases down next to her luggage and wandering towards the kitchen.

"But we just ate!" Sarah called after her, moving out of the way for Stefan to squeeze in the door with all his bags.

"I hate shopping," he grumbled without the California accent as both adults were too far away to hear.

"Yeah I know," Sarah said with a grin.

Molly came into the hallway and smiled at both of them. "Now, you two need to get a shower in before tomorrow morning because it will be complete insanity trying to get everyone to the train station,� Molly smiled. Molly paused as she reached a linen closet, fishing out a set of towels for Sarah. �Here you are. Just make sure you lock the door,� Molly said.

�Thanks Molly!� Sarah smiled as she disappeared into her room to grab a fresh change of clothes before slipping into the bathroom, remembering at the last second to turn the lock.

*b4b*b4b*b4b*b4b*b4b*

Sarah stepped out of the shower and wrapped her towel about her tightly, grabbing the second towel and beginning to dry her hair. Humming to herself, she sat down at the chair of the vanity, picking up her new wand. �Maybe I could try that hair-drying charm Hermione told me about,� Sarah thought out loud. A swish, flick and incantation later Sarah�s hair was dry and in desperate need of a good brushing. Grabbing the hair brush from the vanity, she sighed when it fell, her towel slipping to around her waist as she stood.

Struggling to hold her towel and grab the brush at the same time, Sarah glanced up in surprise as the door opened. �What in the bloody hell?� Draco said in shock, his eyes roaming over Sarah�s form.

�What the fuck?!� Sarah screeched, knocking him backward into the hallway with a wave of wandless magic, without a thought, except that of her rising anger.�What the hell is your issue?� she bellowed, adjusting her towel and stalking into the hallway, slapping him before he could fully stand up.

Draco fell to the floor again, clutching his cheek. �What the hell was that for?� Draco demanded as he tried to stand.

�Can�t you even knock Wombat?� Sarah fumed as she clutched at her towel, Molly appearing at the top of the stairs slightly out of breath.

�What�s going on up here?� Molly demanded.

�I locked the door but he still walked in!� Sarah sobbed, running to Molly and hiding behind her.

�What locking charm did you use?� Molly asked soothingly as she wrapped an arm around the distraught girl, glaring at Draco.

�Locking charm?� Sarah sniffled, looking confused.

�Now what happened?� Renee asked dryly as she came down from the third floor a book in hand.

�Draco walked in on me!� Sarah scowled.

�Good for him or good for you?� Renee grinned.

Sarah didn�t respond only glared, to which Renee stuck out her tongue happily.

�Dear, the bathroom door doesn�t lock,� Molly said gently, looking as if she was going to burst out laughing.

�I didn�t do it on purpose!� Draco snapped, crossing his arms over his chest and leaning against the wall.

�What do you mean the door doesn�t lock?� Sarah demanded. �You told me to lock the door!�

Molly did chuckle then. �I meant a locking charm, dear. I forgot you didn�t know that.�

Sarah grumbled incoherently under her breath and glared at Draco. �Closed door means knock, damnit,� she spat. �Remember that next time.�

Draco scowled but nodded. �I�m going to use the downstairs loo,� Draco said, walking past Molly and looking at Sarah.

�Need a cold shower now, hon?� Renee snickered, shoving the softcover book into her back pocket.

Sarah scowled at them both and shoved past him, slamming the door to the bathroom. A second later the door flew open again. �No one come in here!� Sarah hollered, her voice echoing throughout the house. �I mean it!� she glared at Draco, who rolled his eyes and went downstairs.

Renee snorted in laughter and headed for the room she and Sarah shared. �Just another eventful day in the Wizarding World,� Renee grinned, returning her attention to the book in her hand. �Pocket Sized Standard Book of Spells: Chapter Seven,� Renee sighed as she stepped into the room. ��Alohomora is a spell that will unlock most doors�� Renee read aloud as she shut the bedroom door. Scanning the page, she began to laugh. �Hehe, I�m going to have fun with this,� Renee said to herself. �Hey Lex!� Renee called, exiting the room to the hallway. �You�ll never guess what I just found!�

Cass here!
A: Queen rocks! Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the coolest songs in the whole world! Right up there with "Who Wants To Live Forever". I watch Highlander just for the song...okay and the hot guys with swords but that falls under the category of T.M.I., huh?
B: Gods above this is fun! I forgot how much I love writing! B4B rocks! If you've the time and desire, please review as we always love getting them, flames or not. Thanks!
C: ....Uh....I know there was something else I wanted to say....... *brain flatlines*.... Yeah, I have no idea. Oh well. Wait I remember! "I know a place where no one's lost, I know a place where no one cries..."
Listening to the Broadway album of Les Miserables (from 1986!) makes it kind of hard to type at four in the morning. Especially when you find yourself typing the lyrics as you sing them....Erk. That's what I get for being a theater tech! *grin* Oh, the funny part? I'm listening to a tape...you know, the things people listened to after 8 tracks and records and before compact disks. Gotta love barn sales! I picked up a bunch of tapes for a quarter each. And a pewter beer sein from England for a dime! Yay! The thrift shopper in me is happy. *does a happy dance* Sorry, rambling. Anyway, hope you all enjoyed the chappy!
Love and hugs and all that jazz!
Cass
