"You mean, by Mr. Wormtail or one of these people?" he said. "Harry, do you know any of these men?" 

"No," said Harry quickly. 

"You see, Severus?" said Lupin, turning back to Snape. 

"It looks like a Zonko product to me --" Right on cue, Ron came bursting into the office. He was completely out of breath, and stopped just short of Snape's desk, clutching the stitch in his chest and trying to speak.

 "I -- gave -- Harry -- that -- stuff," he choked. "Bought -- it... in Zonko's... ages -- ago..." 

"Harry, Professors. Have any of you seen Dumbledore around? I need to speak to him," asked Amelia popping her head in behind Ron.

"Well!" said Lupin, clapping his hands together and looking around cheerfully. "That seems to clear that up! Severus, I'll take this back, shall I?" He folded the map and tucked it inside his robes. "Harry, Ron, come with me, I need a word about my vampire essay -- excuse us, Severus --"

"That still doesn't explain how Malfoy saw Potters head floating in mid air," Growled blocking Lupins way.

"Oh," Amelia breathed out, looking down at the floor, hands grasping each other, foot itching her heel. "That was me," she mumbled. "Draco had been talking shit so I turned invisible a threw mud at him. I tripped Crabbe and thought it would be funny to show myself as a floating head," Harry couldn't believe what he was hearing by the looks of it neither could Snape or Lupin. He had to hand it to her Amelia was the best liar he had ever met, "I chose Harry becouse I knew no one would believe it. I was just having some fun. I won't do it again."

"Well, then," said Lupin clasping his hands together, "That settles that. Just a kid having a bit of fun. No real harm done," He turned to Amelia. "Now I am going to let you off with a warning, don't do that again."

Amelia nodded. "I promise sir," Amelia put her hand over her heart," if I get up to any chaos you won't hear a word of it."

Harry thought he saw Lupin's lip twitch upward at the half-backed promise.

"Now I need to speak with you three," Turning to Snaoe Lupin quickly added, "Would you mind moving away from the door?"
