Being Here Brings Back Memories... [CLOSED]

[Harry Potter]

Harry felt a sense of nostalgia when he stood on the step of the entrance hall. He recalled the place bigger when he was there during his school years. He looked around and saw that most of the old castle was fixed and had new designs. Not that he didn’t like it. It was just that the castle was what was left of how he remembered Dumbledore.

“I wonder where my children are. And who are the new staff around here.” He asked himself out loud with a happy tone. He was just happy to see Hogwarts again after being busy with work for how many years. “Hmmm… Where should I go first? The Great Hall? The Headmasters office? The Gryffindor Tower? Astronomy Tower? Or the Potions Lab?” he ranted names of the places he wanted to go.

Then he smiled to himself and knew where he wanted to go to first, “Definitely the Great Hall.” He answered himself.

[Dominique Weasley]

Dominique had been out and about. She had actually just gotten out of class and was heading to the library for a bit of light reading. After she stopped int he great hall to get bit of food to eat. She had been walking with her nose buried into her book. She really did not care for anyone to talk too. In fact she was ready to read some more. In the comfortable spots in the office.

She had just turned the corner when she saw Harry her uncle come into the hallway. She smiled a little bit. It had been a while since they had seen anyone related to anyone. "Uncle Harry." Dominique called to him. She brushed a hair strand out of her face.

Dominique gave him a smile."What are you doing here at Hogwarts?" She was wanting to know. Maybe her father or mother were going to be soon behind him. Though she had to wonder if that could really happen.

[Harry Potter]

Harry turned to see one of his little angel smiling at him. “Well hello to you too, Dominique. I am still allowed to visit the castle even if I graduated a long time ago, you know. Besides, I came to find Lily. And possibly the rest of my kids. [smirking] and I do not know if your father and mother will be visiting here too.” He told her.

He enjoyed reading their minds and answering them before they even asked them out verbally. And it always caused them to be amazed. His skills have gotten a whole lot better over the years of being an active field auror and now the head of the department.

“Have you seen them? I was about to go to the Great Hall. It used to be the very place where I know where to find your father whenever he goes missing.” Harry told her with a smile on his face. It was one of those days where he could tell funny stories about Ron to his children without him being their to counter him.

[Dominique Weasley]

Dominique glanced at her Uncle and gave him a smile. She hugged him a little bit as she listened to him answer her questions about why he was there. "It has to be what ages now right Uncle Harry?" She smirked. She was for sure implying that Harry was getting older. Then again her parents were a bit older then Harry was. Bill her dad was how old. It did not really matter. Fleur was just as old. She smiled thinking about them.

"Oh Lily." She tried to think of her best friend, or what felt like her best friend. She thought for a moment. Was she upstairs in the gryffindor room, or was she located some where else. She thought."She might be in the tower, not sure though." She shrugged.

"No, I think I saw Lily somewhere in the Common Room Tower, and your sons, well bloody hell I have no clue." she said with a small shrug. She looked around for a moment. "I can go with you to the great hall though Uncle"

[Harry Potter]

Harry forgot that Dominique was Bill and Fleur’s daughter…. “I am definitely not getting any younger, that’s for sure…[laughs] I think I’ll see them sooner that I hope.” He spoke softly. He eyed the way to the Great Hall and nodded.

“I would love you to help me get to the great hall.” He said.


(sorry for the very short reply... in a bit of sticky situation...)

[Jaminson Redpaw]

"Someone stop that stupid tea pot and the white weasel!" James yelled frantically, chasing after a silver kettle and a weasel.

Apparently, someone hexed James' new tea kettle and Captain Berry stole his wedding ring. James had been chasing after the 2 objects and for about 35 minutes but had no luck in catching them.

"Great, just great..." he groaned as he saw the kettle and his pet enter the building, again "Just what I need today. My weasel betraying me and my new kettle coming to life!"

James was so intent on the chase that he tripped and fell in front of Harry and Dominique. But he didn't really recognize the figures as he stayed on the floor moping and grumbling to himself.

[Dominique Weasley]

Dominique gave him a reassuring smile. It seemed that her uncle was probably a bit uncomfortable with her. Heck a lot of males were. "Yeah, you probably will, I think your daughter is some where around here. I could probably get an owl to her." Her owl was always flying towards her for some odd reason.

"Awesome, lets go." She said as she turned towards the Great Hall. It was moments later that she heard Professor Redpaw yelling about something. She glanced over towards him and lofted her brow up. "What the heck?" She asked as the two of them came up apon her. She was about to use some kind of spell but she did not do anything.

She smirked a little bit. "Uncle, this is Professor Redpaw, and I'm not for certain why the bloody hell he is chasing a ferret and a tea kettle." She said in a voice that sort of was questioning.

[Harry Potter]

Harry just saw a weasel and tea pot run into the castle. He blinked his eyes making sure that he saw right. The last time he saw a weasel… Rather a ferret was when he was in his fourth year and Malfoy was turned into a ferret by the fake Mad-Eye Moody. Harry helped the fallen man up again, still wondering what had just happen.

“Hogwarts seems to be crazier now that I last remembered it, Dominique.” Harry whispered to his niece with a smile. Then he turned to the man he just helped up, “Are you alright, sir? Was that your rodent and teapot?” he asked politely.

[Jaminson Redpaw]

James accepted the help and quickly stood up. Finally, he recognized the helping figure and stood, speechless, for a few seconds.

"Mr. Harry Potter! Yes those 2 pesky creatures are mine." James exclaimed cheerfully "I remember seeing you so many years ago... Anyway thanks fo the help!"

James spoke a bit too fast and slightly rambled as he was very happy to meet Harry Potter and he just had 2 cups of coffee to compensate for not having tea. James realized he was rambling and forced himself to slow down but still kept an excited grin on his face.

"I'm fine! Tripping and falling is no problem." James smiled sheepishly "Oh yes, how rude of me! I'm Jaminson Redpaw, the History of Magic professor. And hello Dominique! Do any of you want a sugar quill?"

He pulled out 2 quills from his cloak pocket and offered it to them while starting to suck on one as well.

[Harry Potter]

Harry smiled at the Professor. “History of Magic eh, my friend Hermione would be happy to meet you then.” He said and laughed. “Nice to meet you, Professor Redpaw. I am Dominique’s Uncle and you obviously know my children since you’re a Professor.” He added.

Then Harry remembered the tea pot and rodent. “By the way, why did your rat and kettle ran away? I swear I thought I have seen everything. But imagine my surprise when I saw a rat ran away with the kettle.” Harry laughed again then turned to Dominique.

“How is my niece doing in your class, Professor? I hope she is doing well. Along with the rest of my children and Weasley nieces and nephews o mine.” Harry asked as he turned to look at the Professor.

[Dominique Weasley]

Dominique sort of blushed a little bit when Harry introduced himself as her Uncle. She took a moment to step away from her Uncle and the Professor. "Uncle Harry, His animal is a weasel, not a rat." She laughed a little bit more.

"How is Aunt Hermione?" She asked. She had hopes that her family was doing good.

She shook her head. "You saw a Weasel and a kettle." She let out a soft laugh. She looked towards her Professor.

Her eyes glanced at her uncle when he questioned about her grades. Dominique looked at her Uncle once more. "I am a prefect Uncle Harry." She told him. "I am doing fine."

Dominique thought only her parents would question her grades. Now she had her uncle to worry about it. Well this was not going to end well if her grades dropped below anything higher then an E. Heck even less then an O.

[Harry Potter]

“Hermione’s fine. She’s busy with her work and stuff. And I expect that you are doing well. I don’t expect less from you. And prefect? Wow. Do your parents know?” Harry asked her. Then he turned to look at Redpaw.

“Professor Redpaw, my apologies. Weasel then. I’m not really that familiar with the weasel family. Though I know a little bit about ferrets.” He said as he let out a little chuckle. He remembered Malfoy all of a sudden.

“So, Professor Redpaw, why did your weasel and kettle run away?” he asked again.

[Jaminson Redpaw]

James decided to stand and watch thelittle family interaction between the two. It interested him since he couldn't really have one since his wife was dead, his dad and sister were in America and his mom was dead too.

"You're quite forgiven! Many people I know of aren't too familiar of the species though they do know it well." James explained "Well, for the kettle, I think one of my students hexed it for a laugh. It's pretty good hex too. The weasel stole my wedding ring for entertainment as well."

James remembered that Mr. Potter had asked about his family's grades in his subject. James wasn't fond of the subject but decided to answer it anyway.

"Well, I'm not too fond of the idea of grades, Mr. Potter." James replied "But, if I used te same grading system my fellow colleagues use, they're all doing pretty well."

[Harry Potter]

Harry wondered if the Professor was saying that the grades were alright because he was standing in front of Harry Potter or that the grades were really great. Whichever they were, he was glad to know that everyone was doing alright.

“Well thank you for telling me then. I think you should run after your weasel and kettle now, Professor Redpaw. I’ll be in contact soon with you again in behalf of Hermione. Good day.” Harry told him as he reminded the History Professor about the weasel and the kettle.

Harry began to wonder who was now the new Head of Gryffindor House and who the Head of Slytherin was. He knew that Slytherin will always be Slytherin. Cunning and sly. Not that he wasn’t like that when he was still in Hogwarts.

He turned to look at Dominique and smiled softly, “Shall we enter the Great Hall now? I think the house elves would have prepared something for an old friend.” Harry spoke as he remembered the times he asked the house elves to feed him even after lights out.

[Dominique Weasley]

Dom was thankful that Professor Redpaw did admit that all the grades were well. His class to say the least was no longer boring. She had done what the Professor had wanted and had charmed all the notes to fly around the room. She had done well from what he had told her.

When Dominique was asked about the great hall she nodded. "I think so, we can if you want." She said as she turned on her heels towards the Great Hall. "Most of the house elves have changed though. A lot of them are nice, but some of them aren't." She confided with her Uncle. "A few of them have nasty tempers."

Dominique looked towards her Uncle now. "What do you have in mind for a little snack?" She asked her uncle. She was wondering exactly he had planned.
