A different kind

The exams were over and everyone was relaxing. SilverFang had already graded everyone\'s test. He had a written portion and a practical portion. He was proud that every single one of his students had passed. He enjoyed teaching, he enjoyed his students. He was even considering teaching after Voldemort was dead. It was a rather tempting thought, and he was really considering it. He had already made an agreement with the fighting master, that after Voldemort was dead, he would be going back to having a normal life.


There was a knock on his door which caused him to look up from his book. His door opened hesitantly and Crystal walked in, carrying a chessboard in her hands.


\"I believe you demanded a rematch yesterday?\" She said with a smile. SilverFang laughed.


\"Of course I did.\" He said. He cast the usual wards around the room and removed his glamours. Crystal quickly set the board in the appropriate place and set up, giving herself white and Harry black. He walked over and sat down, and gave Crystal puppy eyes.


\"Take pity on an old man?\" He asked her, even fluttering his eyelashes as her.


\"You are such a poof.\" She said drily, moving a pawn two spaces forward.


\"You have seriously got to quit talking to GoldFeather.\" He complained. \"Besides, when you call me a poof, you\'re really insulting your dad and papa.\" He informed her.


\"I\'m preparing for my teenage years.\" She informed him with a smirk, watching as he moved his knight out.


\"Damn, you\'re going to be a pain in the arse then.\" He stated rather drily. \"You\'re already a pain in the arse.\"


\"Thank you uncle Harry.\" She said with a smile.


\"Your welcome neice Crystal.\" He replied with a smile. She then looked up, frowning.


\"You know, I\'m older than you are.\" She informed him. He blinked in surprise at her.


\"You are?\" He asked, cocking his head curiously at her. She giggled.


\"You look like a dog when you do that.\" She said. Then she got serious again. \"Yes, papa told me about it. He said that I was born almost nine months before you were born. He said that I was kidnapped from home by death eaters and everyone was positive that I was dead, but a death eater home was raided a while back and apparently I had been placed under a spell that was supposed to freeze me in time, but I guess it wasn\'t as stronge as it was intended to be because as the years went on, I began to age slowly. When I was found, I looked like I was five or six, and then I was given back to papa.\" She explained. Harry blinked and whistled.


\"Damn, that must have been scary for you when you woke up.\" He said, moving his rook forward to capture her queen. She scowled at his move.


\"Not really. According to papa, I still had the mentality of a baby, so he gave me an intelligence increase potion that boosted my brain up to the age of five or six.\" She explained. Harry smiled.


\"Lupin must have been over joyed with having you back home.\" He said softly. She nodded, looking sad with a smile on her face.


\"Every night he would hold me while I slept, crying. He didn\'t want me to disappear like I did last time. He finally got over it after three months, but even then he would hold me. He didn\'t stop doing that until my seventh month home.\" She explained. Harry grinned and then did the math in his head.


\"So you\'re about\" He paused. \"So you\'re twenty two?\" He asked. She nodded.


\"If you want to go with the amount of years since I was born, but if you want to go with my physical and mental age, I\'m eleven.\" She said with a smile. He nodded and ruffled her hair.


\"Well, I guess you\'re an old lady like me.\" He said.


\"Wow, uncle Harry. I didn\'t know you were an old lady.\" Crystal quipped. Harry winced.


\"You\'ve definately spent too much time with GoldFeather.\" He informed her. There was a sudden loud \'pop\', which caused both of them to jump and they turned to see Dobby standing there.


\"Mister Harry Potter, sir! Dumbledore sent me! He said Voldemort is here! Go to Great Hall, Mr. Harry Potter sir! And take Ms. Crystal too! All students are being portkeyed away!\" Dobby informed him. Harry and Crystal stood up and Dobby disappeared. Harry replaced his glamours and once again became SilverFang.


As they quickly went through the halls, SilverFang quickly went to his quiet place where he became cold, emotionless. He also liked to call it his liar\'s place. If he went there even if he was under Veritism (*Sorry, don\'t know if that\'s spelled correctly*), he could lie easily. Crystal followed him quickly. When they arrived in the Great Hall, all of the students were surrounding their head of house, and prefects. Crystal quickly ran over to one of the prefects and SilverFang strode up to Whitestone and GoldFeather.


\"You aren\'t allowed to die!\" Crystal\'s voice caused him to turned around. \"You still have to finish our chess game!\" Crystal yelled to him. This brought him out of his liar\'s place, and he grinned.


\"Alright, Crystal. I\'ll stay alive so we can finish our game.\" He called back to her. He then turned back around and it took him a moment before he returned to his liar\'s place.


\"Are you ready Green Eyes?\" Whitestone asked him softly. He nodded.


\"Of course, Obsidian.\" SilverFang replied.


\"You two are aware that we\'re going to have to lower our glamours for the fight, right?\" GoldFeather asked softly.


\"Yes,\" They both replied.


\"Hopefully it won\'t distract the others.\" Whitestone said softly.


\"Perhaps we should lower them now in order to help minimize the blow?\" SilverFang asked softly.


\"It would be for the best.\" They both agreed. Suddenly, all the students in the room disappeared except for eight, one of them being Crystal.


\"Voldemort has entered the barriers.\" Dumbledore announced.


\"Crystal!\" SilverFang yelled. Crystal ran to him and hugged him around the waist.


\"You\'re not fighting without me!\" She said stubbornly.


\"We\'ve got to send her-\" GoldFeather began.


\"Too late.\" SilverFang whispered. \"Go to Poppy. Help her heal anyone who\'s wounded. It\'s the best way for you to fight, and you can also help Poppy stay alive.\" Crystal nodded and took off running. The other students were bound and tied up.


\"Voldemort\'s followers?\" SilverFang asked Severus. He nodded. \"He gets to everyone.\" SilverFang said, shaking his head. All the staff members surrounded Dumbledore, along with the order members, excluding Sirius.


\"Albus, where are they?\" Minerva asked. Dumbledore shook his head.


\"I don\'t know.\" He replied. SilverFang winced.


\"Damn.\" He said softly and pulled the Marauder\'s map from his pocket.


\"What is that?\" Tonks asked. Lupin, Severus, Ron, and Dumbledore\'s eyes widened.


\"The Marauder\'s map.\" SilverFang replied. \"I solomnly swear that I am up to no good.\" He said softly. The map bloomed over the parchment, showing the school and the location of everyone on school grounds.


\"That was Harry\'s!\" Lupin said.


\"Still is.\" GoldFeather\'s voice said. SilverFang looked up to see the smiling face of Charlie Weasley standing there. \"Go on mate, drop the glamours. And you too, Marlene. We\'re fucked anyways.\"


\"Oh pooh! You\'re such a spoil sport.\" Whitestone said, dropping her glamours. Dumbledore\'s eyes and Severus\'s widened in shock.


\"Marlene!\" Severus whispered quietly.


\"Marlene Snape, we thought you were dead!\" Albus whispered. Marlene shrugged.


\"Faked deaths are so much fun, aren\'t they Harry?\" She asked. Everyone turned to look at him and saw Harry Potter standing there, not SilverFang.


\"Yeah, but a bloody nuisance.\" He replied, studying the map.
