Note: This is my first attempt at a Harry Potter fanfiction. I've read all 4 books and seen the movie but sometimes certain names escape me and I have poor spelling. Also I like to do stories that are a little offbeat. I hope you like this.
Not a Wizard, Not a Muggle
Another year began at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry Potter, Hermonie Granger, and Ron Weasly joined the other students as they assembled in the Great Hall for the feast.
Harry had spent another dreadful summer with the Durselys, his legal guardians, and while he knew that they didn't like the idea of him being a wizard and all, he often wondered especially about his Aunt Petunia. Aunt Petunia was the sister of his deceased mother, Lily who was a witch. Petunia had told Harry she didn't like Lily and her magical way of life. In fact for ten years she had kept Harry's magical roots a secret from him. At times though, Harry thought to himself. Despite the obvious fact that his aunt was jealous and resentful of his mother, deep down inside he wondered if Aunt Petunia deeply missed her sister. He decided not to let this divert his attention from Head Master Dumbledore who was addressing the first years in the usual Hat Sorting ritual. One by one Professor McGonongal called the students up and the Sorting Hat called out which house they would be sent to.
As the ritual went on, Harry looked over the teachers sitting in a row along the back of the stage. Most he recognized from previous years including his least favorite, Professor Servus Snape. But there was one teacher sitting there he had not see before. She looked rather young with brown hair, blue eyes and a kind smile, but for some reason didn't seem to look much like a witch. While she wore a wizard's robe as all the Hogwarts teachers did, but she seemed more, well, muggle-like. Yet there was something almost familiar about her.
"Psst, Hermonie, Ron," Harry whispered over to his friends. "See that new teacher up there? Do you know who she is?"
"Beats me," said Ron.
"I think she's the new Muggle Studies Professor," said Hermonie. "But I'm not totally sure. I have that class, so I can find out tomorrow."
"All right," said Harry and the three returned their attention back to the Sorting Hat.
