A New Mystery

A/N: We all know that Harry Potter and Company have every year found and uncovered
a mystery, weather its about school, Lord Voldemort, or about the death of Harry's
parents. Well this year in their 5th year they will find a whole new mystery at Hogwarts.
It involves a new teacher coming to their school. I wrote this story not because I wanted a
good or bad or just normal story, just because I need a new type of story now.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Harry Potter was sitting in bed doing his homework late at night. He was going back to
Hogwarts tomorrow and he needed to get the rest of his homework done. He couldn't
wait to get back to school; he couldn't wait to see his friends, Ron Weasley and
Hermione Granger, but most of all he couldn't wait to play Quidditch. A wizard sport
that involved 4 balls and 7 players on broomsticks. Harry was the seeker the most
important part of the game. When the seeker caught the snitch, a small gold winged ball,
the game ended. Harry hadn't got to play the year before, instead they had the Tri-wizard
Tournament, which ended in Cedric Diggory's death and the rebirth of Lord Voldemort.


Harry felt so bad over Cedric's death he considered almost not going back to school.
Those thought were put out his head when Dudley almost killed him when he pushed him
down the stairs. Uncle Vernon got in the way about halfway down though. Harry got
more excited when he thought about meeting the new DADA (defense against the dark
arts) teacher. The occupation had seemed to be jinxed, because every year they had a
new one and every year that teacher would quit or get cursed or something. Harry
thought for sure that this year all he had to look forward to was Snape. So he after he
thought that he wasn't as excited. Snape had wanted the job every year, but Hogwarts
always seemed to get a teacher before considering Snape.

Harry climbed into bed he wished he could have gone to the weasley's home for the
rest of the summer, but Uncle Vernon would not allow it after what had happened the
year before, the weasley's "blew up" the dursley's fire place. The Weasley's tried to get
Harry this year, but they just couldn't get him without Uncle Vernon getting the Mugged
police after them. Harry was so disappointed, but of course the Dursley's didn't care.

Harry put down his quill; he had just finished the last essay he had to do. He put his
things away in his trunk, all packed for tomorrow, he thought to himself. Harry lay down
to sleep, he couldn't sleep he was too excited for tomorrow and afraid the Dursley's
would not take him or he would die in his sleep. Finally around 2:30 A.M. he drifted in
to an uneasy sleep. He kept have the same dream over and over, that he was standing in
the middle of Kings Cross Station and he started to spin and the he saw himself dancing
with a girl it was Cho Chang, Harry's crush, the she was dead, then it started spinning
again and it started all over.

Harry woke up early that morning he put on his clothes and just before he was going
down to breakfast an owl flew in. It was Hedwig holding a letter. She dropped the letter
on Harry's head and flew to her cage. Harry looked at the letter and recognized Sirius's
handwriting. He read the letter it said:

Harry,
Have a good time at Hogwarts. I will contact you soon
Sirius

He went down to breakfast to find the Dursley's all ready at the table. Harry sat down
and looked at the breakfast food and saw a grapefruit and cottage cheese, Dudley was still
on a diet, Harry picked at his cottage cheese and then had a little grapefruit. He took is
plate to the sink and then just as he was about to leave Uncle Vernon said,
"So Harry who is taking you to your train today?" Harry turned around.
"Well if its ok with you, could you take me?" Harry asked.
"Well we have to get new smeltings uniforms for Dudley, in London, before he goes off
to school. So I suppose that will be fine." He looked at Harry and then back o his food.

Harry went up and got his things and put them in the living room just as he got down
there and sat down, uncle Vernon came in and said,
"Ready?"
Harry nodded.
They pack his trunk and things in the car and went to Kings Cross Station. They
dropped Harry off without a word. Harry walked through the all to familiar barrier
between platforms 9 and 10 to get to platform 9 and ¾. He saw the great scarlet steam
engine that said Hogwarts Express on the side. He looked around and saw new students
and the same ones he had known for 5 years now. He stopped he spotted a woman that
look about 18 years old, she was talking to Albus Dumbledore, headmaster at Hogwarts.
She turned and was staring right at Harry, Dumbledore was still talking to her. She had
bright glowing blue eyes and Bright, Bright white teeth, but those weren't the strangest
thing about her. Nope it was that she had blue hair. Not just plain old blue hair it no, it
was Midnight Blue. She winked at Harry and turned back to Dumbledore. Harry seemed
to be in a trance staring at her, he was finally brought out of that trance by his friends Ron
and Hermione's voices,
"Harry, Harry" they said as Hermione shook him.
"Oh hi guys" Harry said and turned to them.
"Come on lets get our stuff on the train before it leaves." Hermione said.

Harry and Ron nodded. They found an empty compartment and put their stuff away.
They went off the train to say goodbye to Mrs. Weasley Harry looked over to where the
girl and Dumbledore were stand and they were gone.
