Hours later, they were asleep on the couch when they heard a swinging sound. They both woke up to see what it was.
"I'm telling you Professor McGonagall, she was asleep naked on the couch with a strange boy whom I've never seen before," said a chubby boy with an Irish accent.
"Who's he?" asked Justin in a whisper.
"Neville Longbottom. Quick, hide in that closet over there." She quickly zapped her clothes on and shoved Justin's clothes in after him.
"Well, we'll just have to take a look now won't we, Mr. Longbottom?" said Professor McGonagall.
"I'm telling you the truth!" But the professor had already made her way around the couch to where Verity now sat reading her book again.
"Miss. Sinister?" Verity looked up.
"Yes professor? I'm sorry, I didn't hear you come in."
"Mr. Longbottom claims he saw you asleep naked with a strange boy on this couch here. Is that true?"
"Well, Neville should probably see the nurse because I've been sitting here reading ever since I ran up here from Professor Snape's class."
"And what may I ask were you doing running away from a lesson?"
"I can answer that," said Justin, coming out of the closet, fully dressed.
"Ah, you've arrived Mr. Timberlake. What were you doing in that closet?"
"Godric, over there, told me to hide in it until it was time for my arrival to be announced. He told me that Professor Dumbledore had me kidnapped because he thought I would think an owl to be strange."
"Oh, well I'll inform Albus of your arrival. What do you mean you can answer that?"
"Well you see, Professor Snape has been sexually harassing Verity there. I know because I was out of the closet while the students were in class and she rushed in all upset and crying, while I was exploring. When I asked what was wrong, that's what she told me. She said that he also threatened expulsion on anyone who squealed to another teacher about it. I've already given him a warning. I also told him that he's never going to see the light of day again if I find out that he's still doing it."
"Is all this true Miss. Sinister?"
"Yes professor. It is the truth."
"Well, I shall in deed have to speak to Albus about this. I've been telling him Snape was a rotten apple for years but he just wouldn't hear of it. Now I have just the proof I need to bring Snape down. May I have you, Mr. Timberlake and Miss. Sinister, as witnesses if I should need them?"
"Of course professor," they both responded.
"Thank you. You'll be very helpful to me."
"I think the rest of the class would be good witnesses too professor," said Justin.
"Excellent idea Mr. Timberlake, thank you," and she left the room.
A few moments after McGonagall had left, the portrait swung open again, allowing three more students to enter the room. It was Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
"...And it froze his wand arm," Ron was saying.
"Wow, really?" Hermione asked.
"That's what they told me."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Harry said. "Let me get this straight. By telling you all this, the sixth years were claiming that Justin Timberlake has powers beyond the wand?"
"You got it!"
"I don't get it," said Hermione, "How can there be powers beyond the wand?"
"Immortality," Justin said, coming up behind them. All three of them spun around hella quick to see who had answered Hermione's question.
"Whoa!" said Hermione, "It's him!"
"What are you doing in our common room?" asked Ron.
"This is where I waas delivered last night, or rather, really early this morning." By this time, Hermione was gazing at him intently with a dreamy look on her face.
Great!" said Ron, glancing at her. "All I need is for JC and Erik to show up and I've lost all hope of mine and Hermione's future!"
"What are you talking about?" asked Harry.
"Uh...uh...nothing," and he turned and bolted up the stairs.
"What was all that about?" Justin asked.
"I'm not sure but I think Ron may have a crush on Hermione."
"Huh? What about a crush on me?" Hermione asked, snapping out of her trance. "Where's Ron?" she added, glancing around the common room.
"Nothing. Ron's up in the dormitories. He said he had a lot of studying that he wanted to do alone."
"Oh."
"So, are you going to stay in our house while you're here?"
"Most definitely. Your house has introduced me to some of the most amazing people in the world. I'd love to stay in your house!"
"That's great! You can stay in our dorm. We have an extra bed since Seamus will be in the hospital wing for a while after today's Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson. Come on, I'll show you up."
"That's great!" said Justin and he followed Harry up the stairs.
