Chapter 1 - You're Going to Miss Me I'm Gone!
A/N: I own nothing but the plot. Thank you J.K. Rowling for creating such great characters for me to play with!
It was a stormy night when Dumbledore made his way up to the castle from Hogsmeade. He noticed the white reflection as the raindrops made their way to earth. Why the minister had wanted to meet him down in The Hog's Head was beyond him, but that was, of course, her decision.
Dumbledore's POV
They think they can just appoint their own professor to my school. Why the nerve of the ministry! I have been running this school just fine for the last 15 years, without their help I might add! As I walked past Hagrid's cottage I noticed the lights on and the faint barking of a dog. Fang, as Hagrid named him, was semi-well mannered dog that I just adored.
Finally making it to the castle door, I creeped them open and stepped inside. I took out my wand and muttered "Impervious" and the water disappeared. I took a look around and let out an audible sigh of relief. I was finally home, but it would feel more like home once the students came back from holiday.
I slowly started up the grand staircase towards the second floor. I wanted to settle into his nice, cozy desk chair and write some letters and drink so pumpkin juice. Just as I made it to the second floor landing, a figure caught my eye. There, making her way down the staircase, was Tracy Godwin. She was the new herbology teacher.
"Why good evening, dear Tracey, I trust you had a good holiday?"I asked.
"Hello Headmaster, yes I had a great holiday. I went and visited the family in Salem." Tracey replied happily.
"Oh The United States, that must have been exciting. I have yet to make my way over there." I replied.
"It was wonderful. Well, professor, I must get back to my office. Lots of work to do before term," Tracey stated and walked away.
Narrator POV
Yes, Dumbledore thought to himself, it was going to be a different kind of term. He reached the entrance to his office and said the password: "Jolly Rancher" and the staircase appeared and started moving up. When he reached the door at the top, he noticed it was ajar. Dumbledore always made sure that the door was closed, so he knew someone must be there.
Dumbledore withdrew his wand and entered the room. Everything seemed to be in place, but just then he noticed a figure by his desk.
"Who are you, show yourself!" Dumbledore demanded.
Moving out of the showdown towards Dumbledore was Voldemort. "Prepared for the end, my dear friend?" Voldemort asked.
