Human Nature Book: III  I think ...
The train battle for Hogwarts (continued) ... ad nauseum. I'm working on finishing this and moving the story along to happier climes,  before dropping the hammer 
By Ottery St. Catchpole 'natch 
Book III: A new beginning … or old friends meet new ends …
 It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by The boys, Teddy, Ottery and Angel walked in to a new compartment not knowing what to expect, what new horrible sight they might find. They had left behind tears and wounds, screaming, fighting and yelling, a battlefield in a war that had suddenly exploded on all the students at Hogwarts.
And the students were not doing so well. Barely holding their own.
The boys knew that if help didn’t come soon or if they didn’t take control of the situation, it might soon be too late to save the Hogwarts Express and everyone on it.
There had been casualties. With no one in charge everyone fought small skirmishes. A battle on a train was not a situation where any one person could easily take command, and a bunch of magic students did not make an army.
The members of Dumbledore’s Army however, were taking charge leading the younger students along with some prefects and the head boy and girl, as a ragtag guerilla group if not as an army of commandos.
“Miss X!” Ottery exclaimed on spotting the tall leggy brunette with the wand and the winning smile.
“Oh, hey honey, how are things?” she asked politely as she kicked a Death Eater out of an open window, then took her wand and fired a few stunning spells and deflected another at a group of Death Eaters trying to come in from the compartment across from them.
“Oh, you know, just hanging out, trying not to get killed. But what are you doing here?” the dark haired boy asked, hiding behind her from a killing curse.
“Whose the skirt?” Teddy interjected blasting the offending Death Eater.
“Charming friends you have, Otts,” the woman with the long dark hair replied and winked. “Hi Angel, long time no see.” She waved at the grey haired boy.
“Not long enough you vicious, little, banshee, harpy witch!” the boy exclaimed looking away annoyed.
“Still sore about the gold in Angola?” she asked.
“No, I’m miffed about the stolen magical artifacts in Bangkok. Those are rightfully mine,” the grey haired boy replied.
“I stole them fair and square, Angel. If you want I’d give you a fair price on them,” she teased.
“You still have them?”
“Hel no, I sold them ages ago but I’d steal them back for you,” she answered with a smile.
“I think I’m in love,” Teddy interjected. He grinned wickedly at the young woman who was at least ten years older than he.
“I think I’m going to shoot you both,” Ottery sighed. “Miss X-”
“Actually it’s Mrs., Ottery, and it’s Mrs. Jones.”
Teddy grinned even more wickedly at that and laughed, Angel sighed and Ottery blushed.
“It’s nice to meet you then, Miss --”
“Missus,“ she corrected.
“Mrs. Jones,” the dark haired boy blushed. “But why are you here?”
“Sebastian Shaw sent me.”
“Ottery is mine,” Angel replied to that and took the boy by the wrist.
Teddy fired a spell which Angel easily deflected though it had caused him to let go of the dark haired boy.
“Ottery isn’t anyone’s,” Teddy started.
“Thank you Teddy--”
“Except mine. He’s my gopher, goofball, target. Whatever I need, when I need it. Kind of a like a personal secretary that doubles as a decoy so you don't get shot, you know?"
Ottery glared at the boy, “Yeah, thanks Teds. Forgot friend in there somewhere did you?”
“T’Weren’t nothing,’” Teddy replied.
“I know,” Ottery shot back and went on again. “I still don’t know what you and Angel are doing here.”
“I am just going to school,” Angel replied.
“I go wherever you go Otts. How else am I gonna keep you out of trouble?”
“You don’t usually, Teddy. Half my troubles are usually because of you but that’s beside the point. I meant, Mrs. Jones. What are you doing here?”
“I’m your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher,” she smiled, and winked.
Angel’s jaw dropped open.
“Wicked,” Teddy interjected.
“You don’t know the half of it,” Angel added.
“A whatta what?” Ottery exclaimed.
“I was just kidding,” Mrs. Jones replied. “I’m here because Sebastian Shaw sent me to watch out for you, Otts.”
“Wow,” Ottery exclaimed. “Shaw must think I’m important to his plans. I could totally be useful to him in the war against Voldemort.”
“Well, you and Harry Potter. Honestly, Harry more than you but …”
“Wait, Harry? I knew we’d forgotten something,” Ottery replied. ♥ Replies: HannahLongbottom: Hey Jools ... I'm glad you liked Nynevah, she's one of my readers can you guess?
And you used pwns (which is pronounced owns) correctly.
Connie: Glad you liked it Connie. 
Obi-Wan K'Lari: Nynevah is not with Sebastian Lari which isn't to say she doesn't have other allegiances 
Spider IS with Sebastian, you're tooooooooo perceptive Lari +1000 points! and Level up 1 
SenoritaMaxie: I secretly envy your ability to write like a zillion fics and they're all good. I know, I've peeked.  Sadly, I can only do the one or two ... but I'm glad you're still reading. Your story PWNS.
I"m kewl with you liking Bellatrix, I do too, even though she's evil  As for the Mummy bit I try to inject humor where I can
And yes, I ♥ cliffies. You know this ... little miss ... what the heck came out to eat Nicola ... 
Obi-Wan K'Lari: I'm glad you liked my essay Lari. I just wrote it to write it, that's why it's an Lj entry but then I thought ... this is like the perfect answer to Lari's question of why I'm always playing around with talking cats, foxes, and that pesky crow in the station did you all forget him? Well don't ...
hermionesclone: Hey Kita.  I'm glad everyone liked Nynevah, honestly she was going to be a short cameo but since you all like her ... I'm going to expand her role ...
Spider is pretty powerful, Kita, that's why he could take on Bella, but Bella and Narcissa would have been a bit ... daunting, and Narcissa caught him by surprise, but honestly I think he could hold his own against them together but again, they would have worn him down ... maybe? It's too close to call because honestly, Bella and Narcissa fought in the first war so ... they're not exactly lightweights when it comes to the Dark Arts, now are they? Bella's been in prison for years so you know she's had to learn to hold her own ... and Narcissa while she's led a coddled life she's been free to practice her skills even if in secret.
See kiddies? I think these things out I don't just randomly write crazyness All my crazyness is to a purpose.
mushroomweasley: Welcome aboard Mushroom I hope you don't mind the nickname, though I'm curious why you chose that username? Did I miss something in one of the books? *is looking for an excuse to go back and reread them
Honestly, Mushrommweasley you don't have much to worry about ... uhm, while this is supposed to be my version of book 6 ... looking back on the story ... I left canon behind ages ago so you shouldn't have any spoilers. If I do post any I will let you know at the top of the post, deal?
All: I love you girls and guys for reading my fic. Seriously, do.   You all are too kewl. I'm sorry this whole train fight has taken so much time ... I promise I'll fix it up soon and I'll lighten things up. Also, as soon as the train fight is over ... another recap so we're all on the same page. Thank you all for not abandoning ship. I won't abandon this story when I have such loyal readers. I promise it will have a long plot and a proper ending. But first ... I have to get us all off the train, no?
