Authors Notes : I do not own Harry Potter. It belongs to the wonderfull
J.K. Rowling. The german role playing system "Das Schwarze Auge" which
might appear later on belongs to Ulrich Kiesow and Fan Productions. The
plot of the story belongs to me.
English is not my main language so please be nice. There might be some misspellings of the names. The names in the German Harry Potter books sometimes are a little bit different. I'm also not completly aware of the whole english school system so please forgive me some mistakes I might do.
Revwies and constructive comments are highly recommended.
Now have fun with the story.
Anna Catherina von den Auen was sitting silently in the corner of her compartment in the Hogwarts Express. Outside the sun had already set. Soon she would arrive at her new place to be, Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft.
It had been a long day for her. She left her hometown of Dortmund quite early this morning, going on a muggle plane from the airport of Dortmund to London Heathrow. She also might have used the floo network but she really enjoyed this part of the muggle world. Of course as a witch she was able to fly on a broomstick but with that she would never be able to fly that high. She thought that the German muggle singer Reinhard Mey with his song "Über den Wolken" (Above the Clouds in english)[1] was absolutly right. Arriving at Heathrow she already had to hurry to get to King's Cross Station and the plattform 9 ¾ from where the Hogwarts express was leaving. Fortunately she had been to London before and so she didn't had any problems to reach the station in time. She was also glad that she had bought all her stuff back in the German version of the Diagon Alley.
When she arrived on the plattform 9 and 10 she was a bit unsure what to do because she had never used the Hogwarts Express before. Fortunately she saw a big family of red haired children and parents arriving on the plattform and from seeing them going through a wall on the plattform she knew where to go. On the plattform she was sorrounded by pupils from the school. They where greating and cheering at each other telling storys about their holidays. 'P'oor children.' she had thought. 'How long would they be able to be that happy in such times.' As the new DADA teacher of the school it was going to be her task to teach them how to stay alive and defend themselfes after Voldemort had risen again. It hadn't been easy for her to convince Professor Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts, that she would be the best person for teaching DADA. At least she had been succesfull and was accepted to teach at Hogwarts. She was really glad that she got the chance to bring a complete change to her life and to leave the past behind. She had sworn to herself that she would do anything to protect her pupils and teach them everything they needed to know to stay save in the forthcoming hard time.
She jerked upright as the train came to a stop. She had been lost in her thoughts and had not noticed that they arrived at the train station in Hogsmead. She grabbed her handbag and climbed out of the train. Outside she was looking for somebody to pick her up. While doing so a shadow fell over her and she spun around. "Rubeus Hagrid at your service." her racing heartbeat was calming down while she was looking up to see the man's face. "You must be Miss von den Auen. Professor Dumbledore is already awainting you. Just step out of the train station and you will find a carriage which will take you imidiatly to the castle. I for myself have to take care of the first class pupils. So see ya." With that he was gone leaving a perplex woman on the plattform. After a second she regained controll of herself and did like the man had told her.
----------------------- [1] Reinhard Mey is a quite popular German singer who made a lot ernest and a lot funny songs. "Über den Wolken" speaks about the freedom one could feel while flying above the clouds and that all fears and sorrows stay below the clouds and do not seem to matter anymore.
