//------------------------------// // Demons in Hogwarts // Story: Rabbit's Cornucopia // by TDR //------------------------------// “ Well this was certainly unexpected and yet strangely enlightening conversation.” Dumbledore smiled looking over at the six people seated on the other side of the desk from him. Professors McGonagall, Flitwick , and Snape were on his side of the desk regarding the group. “We do apologize for the intrusion, but an associate of ours has decided that he wishes to be funny.” The woman who spoke was for lack of a better term an Amazonian. Her navy blue hair spilled down her form cascading over large breasts that were barely hidden in her borrowed robe. It did little to hide the rest of her curves and he had caught both Flitwick and Snape staring more than once. She had pale skin that was flawless and covered corded muscle enough to likely snap the castle in half. The woman next to her was far shorter, with faded purple hair streaked with gray, but if anything this woman was even more intimidating than the robed woman despite her much smaller stature. It may have been her glare, it might have been the leather and metal armor she wore, or the crystalline swords strapped to her back. Behind her was a tall willowy tanned man with long black hair dressed in a set of red robes. He had a smirk constantly on his face that Dumbledore had seen before on people who walked into a room knowing they were the smartest one there. The Woman next to him looked to be of African decent with her hair pulled up in a complex series of braids, she wore a pair of borrowed robes as well though a pair of large satchels decorated with numerous medical symbols were draped over her shoulder. The final woman in the group also had a set of borrowed robes she had a blueish tinge to her skin with darker blue hair to match, she also had a perpetually wide grin on her face . The final man worried him immensely, like the shorter woman his face was an angry scowl of a hardened solider though unlike her he was covered head to toe in a strange plate mail made of some sort of bone that smelled faintly of oranges, his hair was a more normal amber like coloration though his red and green eyes seemed to bore into Dumbledore. Thankfully he deferred to the Amazonian woman, because judging by the mess he made when they made their way through the forbidden forest Dumbledore didn't trust anything but the castle itself to be able to stop him if he was properly motivated. “Still it seems we may be stuck here for some time and I would prefer to be near where the portal dropped us out.” the Amazonian woman stated. “ There is sadly no time frame for when the portal will open again. “Well this might be a bit fortuitous, for us at least. “Dumbledore considered. ”This is a school and you have come across us on the summer hols. Given the unique nature of your story I would be able to allow you room and board here at Hogwarts if you would not be against assisting the teaching staff with their duties, was are as usual sorely understaffed.” “You cannot be serious head master.” Snape snarled. “I am actually. Just from the ruckus in the Forbidden Forest they have shown... interesting abilities.” Dumbledore placated. “Or did you forget who is going to be attending Hogwarts this year for the first time? If he is still out there you realize attempts will be made, and the more skilled individuals we have that he might not know about the better. A small price to pay for room and board, and helping to see if they can get themselves back home.” “They will need a crash course on the wizarding world, as well as wands if they are to fit in.” Professor Flitwick offered.” Though any odd mannerisms are easily explained away as being foreign.” “We will need to register their animagus forms as well.” McGonagall sighed. “And what exactly is that?” the short angry woman asked. “Ah well before you all changed to human as you are you seemed to have an equine form if you feel the need to switch back it would need to be registered with the government.” Dumbledore offered. “ Well perhaps not Miss Bleu there. There would be far too many questions about an animagus dragon after all.” “Told you I'm special” Bleu cackled.
