The question and many meetings


Harry and the gang woke up and got ready to go to breakfast and then go to the classes. First two classes went slow for Harry cause he was dreading what he was going to ask. The bell rang for them to shuffle to American Witches and Wizards.

Angel was their waiting for them and she closed the door when everyone was in.

" As you may know that a American delegation is coming here and all that jazz. We will have assistants teachers here in this class to help explain the burning times and what is going on in the school over there." Angel said.

Before Harry knew it the class was done and the bell rang for lunchtime. He got up and walked over to where Angel was standing at and cleared his throat and said.

" I was asked to ask you if it would be all right if I took Trinity to the Yule Ball." He said in a panicked voice.

" Hmmm. Well she is only 11 years old, but I trust you Harry you can take her to the ball. Now all you have to do is ask Snape." Angel said with a smile.

They left to go eat lunch in the hall. The bell rang for the afternoon classes and Harry Ron and Hermione went down to potions class with Slytherins. After what had happened Draco had not said one word to them let alone make a snippety comment. Snape opened his door and let them in the class room

" Today we will making Shrinking Head potion. Take out the edieedients for this and start on it." He said and started to walk around the room to inspect the potions. Ever since Neville had taken the smart potion he has not failed any of his classes.

The room was buzzing at Snape for what he had said on Sunday and he heard parts of it and paid no attention of it but it was what Hermione had said that he listen to it.

" Honestly, Ron, You would think he is an ogre or something. He is not that bad of a professor let alone a man that can love and not worry about what was said." Hermione said to Ron.

" Well I think it was a little to revealing in my words, But you always seem to think it is romantic when he is nice. Personally I think it is scary when he is like that. Never know where he is going to bust at the seems when he get s mad or that he is a git. Towards us. Mostly Harry he is always riding on him for no reason he will put him in detention to work on extra potions what have you." Ron said back to her.

" Just because you think that way he is a git to you. I think the reason he rides on you two so much is because he wants you guys to excel in this class. As for Harry we know why he dose that. I think he is a good man no mater what has happened in the past. I know he loves Angel. My they have a child together." Hermione said to Ron. When she looked up Snape stood their hearing everything she had said about him and then hokedoked over to Ron and then to Harry who was so concentrating on the potion he seemed to fail hearing what has been said.

Hermione went white when she looked up into his eyes. Then she looked harder and swears they were smiling at what she had said. Snape spoke to her.

" Miss Granger you will have detention tonight along with you Weasely. 5 o'clock sharp." Snape said to her and Ron. That is when Harry looked up to see Snape their. Snape moved one to Neville's potion and noticed it was almost done.

" What did I miss?" Harry asked.

" Everything, We have detention tonight me and Hermione that is." Ron said out of his mouth.

" Oh I heard you two just didn't want to make a comment at the time. But this I will say, I think he is a man that can not let go of the past for his own good and that will get him in trouble as the part of him being nice to us is scary and I still can not get that kiss out of my head. As for me He cannot or will not let go of what my father did to him while they were hear. So he takes it out on me. I have got to be nice and I still have to ask him to take Trinity to the ball." Harry answered them back.

" Harry you know what tonight is so be hears at the same time as the other two." Snape said to him.

The bell rang and they all shuffled out to the next class and that was their favorite right know the Professor Xero who turned out to be cool but hard when it comes to the defense against the dark arts.

They shuffled into the class and waited for Xero to come in. He did and had tethered to his wrist was two women that looked like hell it self.

" Today we will be learning about Banshees and what their effects can do to any human and how to counter act them." Xero said.

Hermione raised her hand and waited.

" Yes, Miss Granger what is your question?" He asked.

" I was wondering you think we should do this out side?" Hermione asked.

" Have you all looked out side lately? No we are not going out side for this." He said back and took of the cover over the eyes and mouth as he did that the scream was defining and made most of the students faint. With fright.

The lesson was done and he left the banshees go out to where they were. The students fought off the spell that the Banshee’s had done. It was free time and the kids could ask any question that was one their minds.

Hermione hand went up.

" Yes Hermione, what is that you want to ask?" Xero said to her.

" Do you remember your parents?" She asked.

" Yes I do, but I know I was adopted when I was a baby. My foster parents were good enough to me." He said.

" Have you ever wanted to find your real parents to see if you have any other brother or sisters?" She asked again.

" Yes I am looking for them know I think I have a older sister but don't know her name." He said back.

The rest of the class went on and the bell rang for the dinner and Harry and Ron and Hermione went to it and ate fast as they could.

" That is very interesting to find out about him. I wonder is he is not Angel's brother?" Hermione said to them.

Harry looked at the time and nudged them to move towards Snape's classroom serve detention with him. Snape opened the doors and ushered them in.

" Now what shall you do for detention? Get the ingredients to the potion of Glory and if turned wrong it can kill you. Start measuring them out for the class it self and for me cause this is a tricky potion. As for you Harry lets see how well you have practice this week? Shall we?" Snape said to them.

" Wow this is easy work." Ron said to Hermione.

" There is a reason he has us in detention. We won't know why until it is over." Hermione said back and they went on with measuring the ingredients. They watched as Harry successfully throws back Snape all the times he tried to invade. They watched as Snape went flying into the air and landed with a thud against the wall.

" Well it would seem that you have been practicing at night know. So the next challenge is that you have to do it all the time awake." Snape said as he was getting up off the floor.

He walked over to where Ron and Hermione were at and they had the class done for and they were doing his. " Ok that is fine you two my go back to Griffindore. But before you go, Ron That is the exact reason why I ride you all the time. I want you to excel in this. As for you Hermione thanks for the vote of gradated on your part. As of loving that is very hard to come by for me anyways. Now you two may go." He said to them.

" As for you Harry, You are right I am dwelling on the past and that I am taking it out you for James and what his friends have done to me. You may go to." Snape said to him.

" There is one thing I wanted to ask. I know Trinity is a first year but is it all right if I take herthe the Ball?" Harry said. There it was in plain sight and said He watch Snape as he walked to his desk.

" That is up to her mother not me." He said.

" I have asked and Angel said it would be all right. But Trinity wanted me to ask you as well." Harry said.

" You do know she well below your grade and that she is imprenablnable for being a 11 year old. But I will give you this, Her mother and me will be there and I will be keeping an eye on you both. One wrong move Potter I will do something to you and not think twice about it." Snape said and then he left.

********************************************************************


Two weeks later the whole school was getting ready for the feast tonight and was very excited to have the American coming. They all shuffled into the Great Hall and waited for Dumbledore to say it was time for them to go out and wait for their guests.

" Ok every one up and the first years up front so on and so forth." Dumbledore said. Every one shuffled out side waiting for the guest. Angel as waiting in front of the whole school for them and then noticed a great big cloud that was descending slowly to where they were.


" There they are. What is that they are in?" Neville had asked.

A lot of mumbled voices tried to answer when they saw it clearly. In the nisky sky there was 4 busses that was tied together flying in the air and was heading right to them. To the kids it looked like it was almost as big as the Quidditch stadium when it landed in front of the school with a scud sound.

The doors slowly opened and there came a witch that was tiny and very young in age. Angel went up to her and gave the witch a hug.

" It's so nice to see you Professor Luminora Springshale, How was the flight?" Angel asked.

" It was good but ran into a hurricane on the way here. But lets get the rest of the group off the buss they want to stretch their legs." Luminora said to her long time friend.

When every one got off the busses Angel turned around to the school and said back to the group behind her.

" Welcome to Hogwarts of witchcraft and wizardry school. The lines that are here are the rep of the four houses that are here to the right is Slytherin and the head of that house is Professor Severus Snape." Angel .
.

" Oh and what does he teacher here?" Luminora asked for the group.

" He is the Potions Master." Angel said to her. " Next to them is the house of Ravenclaw and the head of the house is Professor Flintwick, He teaches Charms. Next to them is Griffindore and the head of that house is Professor McGonnagall and she teaches Transmogrification. Then there is Hufflepuff and the head of the house is Professor Sprout and she is the herbolgy teacher. Then their is the head master of the school so Professor Albus Dumbledore." Angel said again. The group gasped as they looked up to see the headmaster look down.

" Well I think it is rather cold out here so want to go inside?" Angel said to her co teacher's from America.

" Yes it is, let s go." Luminora said as the group rolled inside and stopped to pay their respects to Dumbledore and went on in. The teacher sat at the high table and the American Students sat down on the tables of the 4 house in various spaces all were happy to be there and mingle. One of the students was wearing a red gi sat down next to Hermione and grabbed some of the hamburgers that was sitting in the huge plat on the table. Hermione looked over to who took them and saw this boy just mowing down on them. He looks over as to say what? On his face.

" You are eating before Dumbledore says you can that is not showing respect to the headmaster in any way shape or form." Hermione said in her superior voice.

" Oh sorry I didn't know," Under his breath he said " I forgot you English people are such up tight ass holes."

" I heard that, I find it offensive." Hermoine said to him.

" Really wait and see how offensive I can be." He said back.

" Really." Hermoine said in a hurt voice.

" I am sorry I have to be around uptight Asses all day." He said

" Well ill let it pass this once. What is your name and where do you come from?" She asked him.

" My name is James Ryan Smith and I hail from Laporte Indiana of the USA." He said back to her.

" My name is Hermione Granger and I come from London England." She said back.

" Ok who are you all then?" James asked the rest that he sat by.

" My name is Harry James Potter and I come from Surry England." Harry said.

" My name is Ronald Weasely and I come from a small town in England." Ron said to the boy who he disliked all most at once. Cause Hermione had the same look on her face whenever she says Gilderoy Lockhart in classes.

Harry didn't pay must attention to what was going on cause he was talking to Trinity that was behind him.

" I asked them both and they said in one or more than one that I can take you but that is all. Your father Snape said that he will be making sure that I don't do anything he doesn’t like." Harry said.

" Really he said that? Well all I have to figure out what to wear." Trinity said.

" Ummm. Ok." Harry said. They continued to talk more and when some of her friends want to talk to her she let him go and he turned around to her a full blast arguing going on between Ron and Hermione. Which he ignored cause they always did this.


" Well every body lets eat." Dumbledore said and from some where in the middle of the high table a man yelled "Grindage!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Every one from America cracks up laughing and was looking for the man who said it. Dumbledore looked down to see that Xero was the one who yelled it. Dumbledore let out a small laugh but his face said different that Xero would have to have more control than that. Once more the tables sprang into life with different foods as well as the usual. Every one dug in and enjoyed the meal that was provided for them.


" It is a good thing that tomarrow is Saturday cause I got a feeling that tonight will be a long night." Harry said to them all.
