HARRY POTTER :flash forward.

The final breakfast before the trip to the train station on Sunday, the 3rd of January, also included the Grangers and Sirius adding the final touches to their own packing; as they, too, were leaving the Farm. The Grangers were returning to their home and dental practice in Crawley; and Sirius was returning to the Black House in London.

However, there was none of the utter chaos Harry and Hermione witnessed at the Burrow when the Weasleys packed to return to the castle; especially, the end of last summer. Here, everyone was well finished packing before they even sat for breakfast.

Sirius volunteered to take the three to Kings Cross, so the three bid their goodbyes to family at the Farm at about 10.30am. Then, together, they travelled by Floo through to the Floo point on the platform. That a Floo point existed on the platform was yet another check mark against the Weasleys and their method of travel to the station.

Again, the ride back to the castle on the Express was quiet and quite peaceful without the usual rude visit by Malfoy and his minions.

As they rode the carriages back to the castle, looking at it, Harry sighed and said, "Once more unto the breach, dear friends; once more."

"Shakespeare.

Apt,"

replied

Daphne, somewhat distracted and also looking to the castle.

Surprised, Harry was shocked to discover Dumbledore wasn't waiting in the Entrance Hall for the three, especially Harry, to arrive back in the castle. So, they simply headed directly to the Ravenclaw table. Luna had 'reserved' their seats for them opposite.

"You had a good Christmas," she said, by way of greeting. "I'm glad."

Harry grinned back and said, "You know, you're supposed to ask if we had a good Christmas; not just tell us we did."

With her own grin affixed to her face, she said, "I know. But, it's more fun this way."

Chuckling, Harry asked, "And how was your Christmas, Luna? No troubles with the fairies hiding your stuff, I hope?"

"Oh, no," she replied. "They've been behaving themselves. I think it's because they've been busy performing their roles as Christmas decorations."

"I'm sure," he softly replied.

With those who departed for Christmas now returned and seated, Dumbledore stood and welcomed everyone back, before immediately calling for the feast.

At the end of the meal, he again stood and reminded all that classes recommenced on the morrow, and that they should make an early night of it.

The three walked with Luna back to the Ravenclaw corridor before wishing her a goodnight and walking the short distance to their apartment.

Stepping in, the girls immediately drew their wands and began casting detection charms about the place. Barely a few moments later, Hermione drew everyone's attention and put her finger to her lips in the gesture of be quiet. Then she pointed to the coffee table and caused it to glow for a moment.

Though the three were now quite angry, even Harry joined in with scanning everything.

They discovered listening and monitoring charms in every room except the ensuites. Once the search was complete, the three stepped back out into the outside passage and also scanned the surrounding area. There was another affixed to the wall next to the alcove that held Professor Whittaker. So, they stepped even further away.

Casting a privacy shield about themselves, Hermione was first to speak. "That manipulative old... so-and-so! How dare he!"

Though angry, Daphne was also amused by the vehemency in Hermione's voice and expression. "Well, what do we do with them?" she asked.

"Alright," Harry began. "Clearly, the one outside the alcove is so he can hear the password. Can we cause that one to have him hear nonsense words... no... swear words... used as the password?"

Amused, Daphne replied, "I like your thinking. And, yes, that shouldn't be too hard to do. What next?"

"Well," muttered Hermione. "If we're going to do something like that, rather than just get rid of them, how about we have the one on the coffee table change what we say to... plans for murdering the staff in their sleep? We can discuss ways to bypass their wards to get to them."

Harry laughed while Daphne snickered.

"I like it," he said. "How about the one in one of your rooms be a recording of singing... Henry the Eighth and have it on loop?"

"That's... evil!" gasped Hermione. "I want that in my room."

"Henry the Eighth?" asked Daphne, not having heard it before.

Hermione sung it once through for her and said, "Then you put it on loop; that is, have it repeat over and over again without end. It's the sort of little ditty that gets into your head and you can't shift it."

Daphne laughed out loud. "You're right," she laughed. "That is evil."

While the three laughed about it for a few moments, Daphne then said, "How about the sound of an annoying mosquito buzzing around for my room?"

Again the three laughed. "Brilliant!" said a gleeful Harry. "Now comes the big one. My room."

They thought about it for a little while before Hermione blushed and said, "Well... he obviously knows what goes on in there..."

"Yes?" asked Daphne. "How about we let him hear just that... a lot... and loudly," she blushed even more.

Harry guffawed and had to bend at the waist he was laughing so hard. "No, no!" he gasped. "Not what we're doing. That is, what we're doing; but, so much more!"

"You mean, make it sound like a full on debauched orgy?" asked a shocked Hermione.

Harry could only nod back trying not to laugh again. His face had turned red and his eyes were twinkling with unshed tears.

Both girls were also blushing away. Daphne said, "I don't think I can set something like that up. I mean, I can... I just... it's too embarrassing."

"How about we ask the red-haired devil twins do it for us?" asked Harry.

"The Weasleys?" asked Daphne, surprised. While Harry nodded, she thought about it before saying, "Yes, I can see that. But, we set your room back up with a single bed before we let them in. I don't want to give them things to talk about, about us."
