Teachers lounge

"I have an announcement to make" Dumbledore said in his horse low voice as everyone looked up "we have a new teacher joining us today Professor max she shall be the new assistant to Snape in potions and"

"Sir if I may I don't think I require any assistance in my class but" Snape cuts in

"I though you may feel this way so next year she shall be teaching Magical creatures since Likwirt is retiring, but for now I was told by the ministry that she should be put with you in potions. Its out of my hands"

"All right, I guess I could use some assistance." Snape answered coldly.

"Good, So may I introduce to you Professor Maxine Duarte who just came here from America"

"Please call me professor max, " she answers coolly as she walks in wearing a beautiful black robe " hello everyone." Everyone looks up all the guys stare up as they see her beautiful dark brown hair and eyes and gorgeous body.

"H h h hello im professor Flitwick" he says as everyone else says hello.

"Well, I should get you to your office and show you your room." Professor McGonagall

"Yeah, thank you so much im pretty tired plane flight was long god" she answers as she sees everyone look at her curiously.

"Flight? O you mean plane why didn't u just floo powder or train to get here?"

"And miss the free nuts and movie?" she said sarcastically, yet she saw no one seemed to get it. "Never mind."

"Right, ok well let's get you going it's late and tomorrow I will show you where to report to breakfast"

"Ok sure well see ya all later" she said but right before she left she caught a look at Snape and paused "Minerva, who is THAT"

"That, o that is Snape you'll be working with him in potions" she said

"O my he is hot" max says as she follows McGonagall

"Hot, Snape what look I have to warn you teacher to teacher relationships are not encouraged." McGonagall said severely.

"O of course I was just. saying." Max answered back

"Right, so here is your room and your cloths are already there and Dumbledore showed you where to go to breakfast?"

"Yes, he did I'll be there on time tomorrow morning" max said in a tired voice "well good night and sleep tight"

"Yes, have a good night." McGonagall says and as she walks out she whispers to low for max to hear "American's, what a funny accent.."

***Next morning***

Max wakes up and looks at the clock "GOD I only have 5 minuets Shit SHIT!!!!" runs up and puts on tight jeans and a tight black shirt that shows some of her stomach with a short leather jacket. She runs out and to her sit at the teacher's table as the teachers stare at her outfit. Prof. Vector nearly fell out of his seat.

"Hello students, the beginning of a new year at Hogwarts. We have some new announcements, one is the dueling club will start next week, and second quidditch tryouts start on Tuesday on the field by Madam Hooch, and third, we have a new teacher who will be helping in potions Professor max from America and I am sure" he said looking down at the slytherin table at Malfoy and his group and at Harry Potter and his group "you will all treat her with the same respect as all the other teachers.. Professor please stand up." As max stood they all looked at her with a wow expression her body and cloths were amazing all the guys thought as the girls wondered about the muggle cloths.

"Hey everyone im Professor Max you guys can call me max if u want or Professor whatever you like. I am very glad to get an opportunity to teach here and I am sure you all will make me feel welcome. I also wanted to say sorry bout the cloths my robes haven't gotten here yet. Im very excited to be teaching, thank you."

"That is all the announcements so let the feast begin." Dumbledore says as he claps his hands the food appears.

Harry who was used to this just ate normally as he heard first years amazed.

"Harry, god im glad to see you." Hermione says.

"So am I, so did you have a good vacation?"

"Yes Ireland was beautiful and I learned a lot."

"I thought so. so did you see Professor max wow!" Harry said

"Wow yeah we'll see. I just hope she makes potions more enjoyable. Grit he is wow!"

"Right, ok I just realized why best friends who are girl and boy is weird."

"Yeah ha." Hermione said, "So I heard we have two exchange students coming, one from France, Paris and one from New Jersey, America."

"Really, cool, American and French ooo lala." Harry said

"I hear you have to be smart to transfer here in your fifth year." Hermione said

"Fifth year you mean there going to be in our grade?" She asked

"Yeah, in our grade the American one and the French one is in her fourth year." Hermione said.

"Cool, I wonder when they're coming?" Harry said

"There coming tomorrow" Hermione said "by the way where is Ron?"

"He said he was going to be here late since he will be visiting his brother Charlie in Romania." Harry answered

"All right, I didn't know he was going to Romania." Hermione answered

"It was last minute Charlie said he had something important to talk to him about." Harry said

"I hope it's nothing," Hermione said in her usual worried voice.

"It isn't it's just about mum and dads anniversary" Ginny cut in.

"O hey Ginny, did you have a good vacation?" Hermione asked

"I had a great one," she answered. "Im so excited for my fourth year it's going to be bloody amazing!"

"Yes fourth year is a blast." Hermione said.

"I so do hope so." Ginny answered

"Don't worry, it will be a great year. You will have a blast, im sure of it." Harry said as he noticed how much she has grown into a lovely lady and how much all of them have changed. *** During Discussing of Current Events class***

"So class today we shall be starting off with a project" Said Madam Lorelei "you will be assigned a partner and you two will have to do a project on what current even is going on in today's world. You will need some articles from the Daily Prophet and.." Ginny was writing in her notebook and ignoring the rest of it. "Mr. Potter and Granger, Mr. Ron Weasley and Finnegan.." Her mind trailed off again wondering about boys and how she has gotten over Harry and seemed not to find anyone she loved or liked at all in the entire school. " Ms. Ginny Weasley and Mr. Malfoy." Suddenly she became very awake.

"What, Malfoy!" she said to herself

"I cunt believe it! Madam may I have another partner?" Draco asked

"No, you may not!" She answered coldly "so everyone get with your partner and get to work."

Ginny walked over to Draco and sat as she saw Harry and Hermione give her an im sorry look. "So," she said, "what topics were you thinking of?"

"I don't know WEASLEY I guess maybe." but the teacher cut off Draco

"Mr. Malfoy, you must go down to the main office." Madam said

"O all right" he answered with a wondering look "Weasley, meet me in the library after lunch and we can get started on our project." Malfoy said coolly.

"All right," Ginny answered, "I will meet you there." As she spoke Malfoy was leaving quickly out the door.

***Potions Class***

"So after this is lunch and then deadly meeting in the library with Draco." Harry was saying while walking to potions and giggling.

"Not FUNNY!!" Ginny was saying "Plus he is not that bad anymore and he is one of the top people im looking at a great grade."

"Yeah, plus he has matured a lot since last year he isn't so mean." Harry said trying o cheer her up

"Slytherin, your partner with someone in SLYTHERIN." Tracey yelled while running up to Ginny. Ginny remembers meeting Tracey she was one year below her in her third year now but was a great friend to have. She was totally into makeup and fashion especially muggle stuff.

"Hating Slytherin is so 2nd year" Ginny said "come on, they're not all bad and I mean im not the one with a crush on Malcolm." Ginny said while smiling.

"I DO NOT" Tracey answered angrily as she ran into potions class, blushing hard. Harry and Ginny were laughing. Harry sat next to Hermione as always.

"Hey Harry, where were you?" Hermione asked.

"I was with Ginny, she has Muggle studies with Grint now." Harry answered.

"O I just love Grint I mean he is so smart and all." Hermione said

"Yeah, and the doodles in your book about how gorgeous he is has nothing to do with it." Harry said while smirking.

"Mmmm.." Hermione Answered back embarrassed.

"Hello class" Snape said, "Welcome to fifth year potions do not think it will be easy but opposite this class will be very difficult. We will start tomorrow with a new potion but for today we will go over the Homework you had to do over the summer. Professor Max will help me."

"Yeah sure, so lets go over it." She said while staring at Snape.

"Here are the answer sheets." He said as he handed them out "ill be back soon and don't think of changing your answers it is magically made so you wont cheat or change your answers and it will check it automatically. When you are done go over what you got wrong and think about how you can get smarter instead of dumber." He said as he went to his office. Max followed him in, though he didn't seem to care.

"So though on them, I like that strong and dark." Max said

"Yeah, well with Idiots like that you have to be." Snape said coldly

"Yeah, so what your working on?" she asked getting closer and looking over his shoulder.

"Im working on tomorrow's lesson plan, we are going to teach them how to make Polyjuice potion. Though of course not let them make it its way to dangerous." Snape answers.

"All work and no play." Max says, as she gets closer.

"Well work is important and" but he was cut off when he hear max say a lock on the door spell "what are you doing Professor?" he said angrily

"I like my privacy." She said as she moved so closer nearly touching face to face.

"So do I, to make sure those little brats don't bother me." He said while about to turn back to his books and cauldron. Max grabbed him and kissed him hard. When they let go he just looked at her and realized how gorgeous she really was. He leaned forward and kissed her hard again. He pushed her down and onto the table.

***In classroom***

"Yay I got them all right." Hermione said

"Who would of guessed, I didn't do too bad 89 out of 100" Harry said.

"Yes perfect score." Hermione heard Draco shout out in happiness.

"I did uhh 52 ha ha nice." Goyle answers.

"That's not good, you know Im going to talk to Malcolm." Draco answered annoyed

"Draco, why you do not hang with us anymore?" Crabbe answered

"Look, I'm older now, 15 nearly 16 years old I hang out with sophisticated people now." Draco said.

"Uhh.so why don't u hang out with us?" He asked

"Ok here it is in your language you are dumb I am smart so I like to hang out with smart people, since im older now and I want smart good friends all right?" Draco said annoyed

"Ok, we don't care." Goyle said in his slow dumb voice as usual. Draco could tell by the look on their faces they still didn't get what he was talking about.

***Later on in Potions***

"It has been a while and class is almost over. I wonder where Max and Snape are?" Hermione asked, "Maybe I'll go knock on the office door."

"Ok, It's your funeral, I would go with you but he kind of hates me and you know how it is." Harry answered

"Yeah, I'll go. I'll be right back." Hermione said

"Ok" Harry answered.

Hermione walks over to the door and is about to knock when her hand bumps into someone else's hand that is also about to knock. She turns and sees it is Draco Malfoy. "Sorry" they both say at once.

"I was just checking on Snape he has been gone for a while." Draco said.

"Yeah, same and class is all most over." Hermione says and she knocks.

***

Snape and max are at it on the table when Snape suddenly stops and stands up. "No, no you are a teacher I am a teacher and I am much older."

"Severus, I don't care if you are older or we are teachers. We are just having fun but if you want we won't tell anyone. But I know you don't want to stop." she said going closer to him. They both start kissing again and drop to the ground as Max unbuckles his belt when suddenly they hear a knock.

"WHAT?" Snape yells

"Umm sir, class is almost over so can we leave or do you want us to stay..." Draco asks.

"You can all leave!" Snape says.

"All right Sir." Draco says surprised.

"So where were we?" Max asks as she smiles.

***

"Wow, I think that's the first time Snape let kids go early EVER." Hermione says

"Yeah, lets go tell the others." Draco says as he tells the class they're all pleased and rush out.

"Yes! I have some extra time to go work on quidditch." Harry said.

"Is that all you think about?" Hermione asked.

"Now that im the captain I have to work two times harder on Quidditch and make up plans I want to win the house cup this year." Harry says.

"Ok, so lets go to lunch." Hermione says

"Yeah, lets go." Harry answers.

***Lunch***

"So, Ginny what do you think of this play?" Harry asks

"Nice except who is GW the new chaser?" Ginny asked

"That is you Ginny I have watched you fly at the burrow you AMAZING you have to be our new chaser." Harry said

"But tryouts aren't until later on." Ginny said.

"I know, but you already made it come on please..." Harry said

"Yeah, sure I can't wait until Fred and George find out." Ginny answered "They were going to be co-captains but because of that prank on Snape they were not allowed but I think there happier not having to do work." Ginny said as she was laughing.

"We are happier more times for pranks." Fred said with his big smile.

"So, what can't you wait to tell us?" George asked

"I'm the new chaser on the quidditch team." Ginny said happily.

"Really, congratulations Ginny and congratulations on the captain job Harry." George said.

"Great, but you know quidditch is a hard game so be careful." Fred added, "Were good but not perfect you have to be fast."

"Don't let them scare you Ginny you are great and fast you will be great." Harry said.

***Library***

Ginny walked in and looked around for Draco but there were too many people around. "Weasley!!!" She hears someone scream "Weasley!!!" She turns and sees Draco.

"Hey Malfoy, how are we going to get work done with all these people?" Ginny asks.

"I don't know, but I have an idea follow me." Draco said as he ran off from the library downstairs and out the door while Ginny followed.
