Aeris Lupin: The New Defense Against Dark Arts Professor
By: Triforce Knight
Aeris Lupin is definitely not, what some people call, a morning person. This day, however, was no exception. Today, she was being relocated back to England. She didn't mind coming home, after being in the U.S. (California), but she didn't like getting up at 3 a.m., taking a plane to Boston (6 a.m.) stopping, then heading to England, without any sleep.
"I hope my brother remembers to pick me up today," she mumbled to herself as she trudged off the plane, and into the terminal. Right as soon as she stepped foot into the terminal, she stopped dead in her tracks, trying so hard not to collapse and die of laughter of the sight she saw. Severus Snape, Potions Master at Hogwarts, in the same year as her brother and her, and known non-people person, was wearing a muggle t-shirt, and jeans, with a sour expression on his face.
"Aeris, it's so good to see you again," Snape said in his normal cold voice.
"Why Severus, how did you know it's me," she asked in the sweetest way she could, despite her mood.
"Because," he sneered, "Out of all the people on the plane, you're the only one wearing sunglasses."
He was right, she was the only one in the airport wearing sunglasses, but she had a good reason why she was. Besides her eyes being blood-shot from lack of sleep, she was like her brother, they were both different. Remus Lupin, the older twin, previous DADA professor, had his "illness" once a month, while Aeris, the younger twin, one of the Elite Four for the Ministry of Magic, had unusual eyes. Her eyes, instead of brown, were gold.
Aeris pulled Snape over to the side and muttered, "Severus, after all these years of not getting the DADA job, why would you want to meet the new professor?"
"Since your brother isn't feeling well at this time of month, Lily and James are dead, and Sirius Black is a fugitive for murdering Lily, James, and Peter, I thought that I, being a fellow Hogwarts professor, should escort you to the Hogwarts Express."
Aeris stood there in shock, she had been gone for fifteen years, and nobody told her that three of her friends were dead, while the other was an escaped convict.
'So this is the real reason why Dumbledore wanted me to come teach here' Aeris thought to herself.
"Come on," Snape's voice broke her thoughts, "I don't want to miss the train, or else we won't make it to Hogwarts on time."
Aeris sighed, picked up her extremely big, heavy suitcase, and followed Severus out of the terminal. After they were a few blocks away from the airport, Snape led her to an empty alley.
"We're going to apparate to the Hogwarts Express' gate, if you still have your license," Snape said to her. She looked at him and replied, "Of course I still have my license," and with that she disappeared, suitcase and all. Snape sighed, and thought, 'She's not like her brother at all,' and also disappeared.
After things stopped whirling and twirling, Snape looked around to find Aeris, but she was nowhere in sight.
'Why does she have to be the same height as seventh years' he moaned to himself.
"Uuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmm, professor, what are you doing here," a student's voice asked. Snape turned and saw Draco Malfoy standing behind him.
"Don't bother me now," he said calmly, "I have to find someone. Wait, Draco, have you a seventh year girl come by with light brown hair, and sunglasses?"
"Yyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeesssssss," Draco said slowly, wondering what Professor Snape wanted with her.
"Well, where is she?"
"Already on the train."
"Where on the Train!?"
"She was lifting this huge suitcase onto the last compartment, muttering what a jerk someone was, but I couldn't get the name of who it was."
"Thank you," Snape said absentmindedly, walking quickly to the last compartment.
Meanwhile, Aeris had just got her robes on, and was busy getting her lesson plan ready for tomorrow, when the compartment door slid open, and three fifth years walked in, two boys, and one girl.
'That must be a Weasley,' she thought to herself, looking at the boy with flaming red hair, 'I was working with a Bill Weasley just last summer.'
'That must be Hermione Granger,' she thought, looking at the girl with bushy brown hair, 'My brother wrote a lot on how smart she is.'
'And this must be the famous Harry Potter,' she thought, as she sized up the boy with black hair, and green eyes, 'My, how he's grown. I remember when he was a little baby, and oh, how Lily wouldn't let anyone, but herself hold him. I remember that I had to convince Lily that I should hold him because, oh forget it, he doesn't remember me, he was only a few months old when I left. He looks so much like James, but he definitely has Lily's eyes.'
"I hope we're not intruding, but everywhere else is full," Hermione said.
"No you're not intruding. In fact, I'm glad somebody came here, I was getting lonely," Aeris replied.
"I've never seen you on the train before, are you a transfer student?"
"You could say that."
"What classes are you taking?"
"Defense Against Dark Arts."
"Everybody takes that class," the red haired boy interrupted, " Do you know who the new professor is?"
"Yes."
"Who," the three asked, at the same time.
"Me," Aeris said, looking at there expressions, Harry eyes widened a bit, Hermione looked at her as though she was joking, while the Weasley's mouth opened in surprise.
"Oh man," The red head groaned, "I just spoke back to a teacher, wait 'til my mum hears about this."
"What's your name," Hermione asked politely.
"Aeris Lupin, Remus Lupin's twin sister, and what are your names?"
"Hermione Granger."
"Ron Weasley."
"Harry Potter."
"And just what are you three doing here," the cold voice of Snape, came from the compartment door. All four looked over at him, and were about to leave, when Aeris spoke up, "I invited them to sit here Severus. Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to learn about some of my students."
Snape glared and sulked off.
"Attention students and staff, we will be arriving at Hogwarts in five minutes, please have all your stuff ready to be taken off the train in five minutes," the loud announcement said.
When they arrived, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were walking over to the carriages, when Aeris said, "You guys go on ahead, I have some business to take care of."
She walked into and out to the outskirts of Hogsmeade, where she found a huge black dog sitting there, waiting for something. She made sure the coast was clear, and said, "I was wondering, if you'd come and see me, Sirius Black," to the black dog as he changed into the man Sirius Black.
AH HA HA HA HA HA! CLIFFHANGER! If you enjoyed this story please review, I'll be so happy if you do, but I don't like flames. PLEASE R+R!
