Return to the Chamber of Secrets
A Harry Potter UNIVERSE/ Sasporilla Bucket Fan Fiction
by Darren Kelly
Chapter 3
Every day Zac got a copy of the Daily Prophet by Owl Post. He liked to read it over breakfast catching up on the events important to the day in the Wizarding World. The news was relatively quiet. The big headline was another Death Eater had been captured hiding out in Eastern Europe and was preparing to stand trial.
Zac turned to Rita Skeeters new exclusive. "The Dead End Oddity Shop: New Musical Sensation. Who are they, what are they all about, and what's the truth behind the fame. A Daily Serial on the road by Rita Skeeter."
Zac folded his paper over to the Rita Skeeter article and carried it over to the Hufflepuff table.
Sasporilla had just received a large parcel from Melvin and was in the process of opening it. The first thing on top was today's copy of the Daily Prophet, turned to the Rita Skeeter article and autographed by the entire band, Rita Skeeter and Myron Wagtail.
"I was just going to ask you if you'd seen the article." Zac smiled leaning in to give Mrs.Curtiss a kiss.
"Good morning wife." Zac smiled.
"Good morning Husband." Kerry smiled back.
Sassy rolled her eyes playfully as she went back to digging in the box. Right underneath the paper was a letter.
"Dear Sasporilla;
It's the first night on the bus as we travel to our first concert. I've been told that by morning we will have arrived at our first location, and the stage will be set up. After morning classes will be sound check and warm up practice. Then afternoon classes and the concert. I hope there' room for food in there some where.
We did the first of several scheduled interviews with Rita Skeeter today. She tends to 'spin things' into directions she wants them to go. I don't trust that she will fully tell the truth about us in her articles. If I read anything untrue I will address it with you in my letters.
We sent along a copy of the prophet, autographed. Wendy says it's the little woman's job as faithful home groupie to start a scrap book of our achievements. I have already told her to sod off for you. You can give it away if you want and if anyone at Hogwarts is a fan. Oh speaking of fans, we sent along a big box of swag. There should be enough of everything for anyone who wants something. It was Myrons Idea. Make sure you get a T-shirt for yourself. Myron and Wendy say hi by the way.
As I lay here in my bed, in my own private room, I can't help thinking of you. Every time I look out of the tour bus window I hope to see your face in the crowd. Every time I look at your picture I taste your lips on mine. When I look into anyone's eyes I imagine I see your beautiful lavender eyes. I am helplessly and hopelessly head over heals in love with you Sasporilla Imaginarium Bucket."
I love you and I miss you;
Melvin

Sasporilla stood up with two handful's of T-shirts, posters and pictures.
"Anyone a fan of Dead End Oddity Shop?" Sassy yelled. "I have free swag for anyone who wants some."
Students from every house mobbed Sasporilla who handed out items smiling and laughing. The best part about one size fits all t- shirts in the wizarding world is that they did indeed adjust to fit any size.
"How did 'YOU' get a box of DEOS swag Sasporilla Bucket?" Katelynn Ashwolf asked snottily.
"My good friend is their producer." Sasporilla said. "Myron Wagtail and my boy friend is Vinny Lazar."
"Ya sure." Katelynn smirked. "Like that could ever happen."
"Did you want to get in on some of this or not Ashwolf?" Sasporilla snapped losing patience with the first year.
"Ya give me a t-shirt and a poster." Katelynn said. "They're my all time favorite band."
Sasporilla handed the girl a t-shirt, a poster, a cd, a button and the autographed copy of the Daily Prophet. "Hope you enjoy it. I'll tell Vinny you like his music. I can fold a letter from you in with mine if you want to get it to him ahead of the other fan mail."
"You' do that for me?" Katelynn asked. "Why?"
"Because you're a fan of the band, because you're a Hufflepuff and because you're Lyras cousin." Sassy smiled. "Not to mention I know how cool it is to like a band and have a secret in with them."
Katrlynn clutched the items tightly. They would surely be her prized possessions. It gave Sasporilla a momentary warm feeling known how the young girl felt. She was the same fan in the shadows of the Weird Sisters all those years ago.
"I don't need any favors from the likes of you." Katelynn said stiffening and walking away with her nose in the air.
"That is one horrible little girl." Karry said.
"I wonder why someone with that bad an attitude was sorted to Hufflepuff?" Zac snorted derisively.
"I wonder what happened in her life to make her that way?" Sassy sighed.
First class after breakfast for Sasporilla was one she looked forward too. Basic wand making with Professor Dingle. She couldn't wait to learn from her favorite professor in all of Hogwarts again. Not to mention she was anxious to tell her teacher how she'd met another girl name Moirah Dingle at Droorlily.
Professor Dingle was already in the class when the students began to arrive. Sassy sat at one of rhe desks in front. She was anxious to learn everything she could about the actual creation of wands and bounce some of her revolutionary ideas off of her teacher.
"Hello Sasporilla." Professor Dingle smiled. "Did you have a good summer?"
"Yes Professor." Sassy smiled. "You?"
"Yes." She smiled. "I was finally able to get home to Galway to see my family."
"I was there last year at Droorlily." Sassy smiled.
"I remember." Professor Dingle laughed. "The noise you and Wendy Murphy made!"
"Professor?" Sasporilla asked.
Moirah Dingle called Sasporilla up to her desk. Sassy stood and walked over with a quizzical look on her face.
"It's me." Moirah Dingle said. "The Professor you know is the girl you knew."
"I don't understand?" Sasporilla asked. "How is that possible."
"The wiggle worm gate. The same spell they used to get you to Hogwarts after the attack." Moriah Dingle said. "At the end of last year I learned the spell. I cast it and thought I'd had it anchored correctly. I didn't take into account the fourth dimensional factor and ended up passing through to London, but fifteen years ago!"
"Oh my god Moirah!" Sasporilla said taking the woman's hand. "What did you do?"
"The only thing I could think to do was come to the most powerful wizard in England and ask him for his help." Moirah smiled.
"Professor Dumbledore?" Sassy asked.
"Yes." Moirah said sadly. "He said that he didn't have the ability to send me back. He said my purpose was to be here in this time and that I should stay."
"That's terrible." Sasporilla said.
"Not really." Moriah smiled. "He got me a job at Olivanders where I learned all about wands from the greatest wand maker who ever lived. I met a man, fell in love, got married and I'm going to be a mother. This is my last year teaching for now. Not so much because of starting a family but because I now know I have taught the person I was meant to teach."
"Who was that?" Sasporilla asked with wide eyed curiosity.
"Take your seat please Miss Bucket!" Professor Dingle said. "The class is about to begin. Welcome ladies and gentlemen to Basic Wand making. If you were hoping fer an easy class, this isn't it. By the end of the semester you will know everything there is too know about how a wand works and why. You better be prepared to take lots a notes and pay close attention to the things I tell you. Now anyone who t'inks they made a mistake can go and change classes now, no harm, no fowl."
Two students stood up and walked out of class. They weren't really that interested in wand making and were just looking for an easy class to rest, goof off or catch up on home work from important classes.
"All right den," Professor Dingle smiled. "Let's get to work."
