This is a story about the year after the Final Battle. Please exclude the epilogue at the end of deathly hallows my story is a different take on things. Background info: Harry is the new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher. McGonagall is the headmaster (mistress). Hermione is the new Transfigurations Professor. Ron is the flying instructor at Hogwarts. Severus Snape is also still alive and still teaching Potions. Slughorn is also teaching potions. All of the seventh years except Harry, Ron and Hermione were invited back to redo their seventh year.
It was two weeks after the start of a new year at Hogwarts. For Head Girl Ginny Weasley it was the time of her life. She was the Gryffindor Chaser and loved it. She was dating the famous Harry Potter aka the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor, her brother was still at Hogwarts which she will admit was kind of a good thing. But she was in for a surprise as she was patrolling down the entrance hall the large door opened a girl with red hair and hazel eyes stepped in. walking over to her Ginny thought she had seen this girl before.
"Can I ask who you are" Ginny asked the other red head.
"Abigail"
"I haven't seen you before, why are you here."
"I am here at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry for a family matter." She retorted.
Shocked Ginny said "follow me I will take you to the headmaster's office."
They walked in silence till they got to the statue And Ginny took her up to McGonagall's office. She knocked on the door and McGonagall let them in, the second she saw the other girl she gasped "its not- it can't be- how in the name of Merlin" she stopped in her tracks as she realized that Ginny was still there. "Ginny you are excused you may go back to your head duties." After she left she closed the door.
McGonagall was flabbergasted as to how the young lady before her got there. "Abigail why did you come here." I need to learn, after I heard Voldemort was killed I knew it was safe for me to come. Dumbledore visited me and told me not to come until he said that it was safe but then he died and I was afraid. I need to see him Professor. He has to know who I am."Abigail was in tears by the end of her small speech. "I know so you will start classes tomorrow, here are your books, robes, and schedule. I will put you in Gryffindor know you will do well in there. "Thank you Professor."
"Your welcome"
ΩΩΩ
As she made her way into her dorm that night she made a promise she let other people figure out who she was. She had potions as her first class the next morning she knew that she better go on and get to bed. That night she kept dreaming about what all she had been through and what her life had come to now.
ΩΩΩ
As she got up she knew that today was going to be an interesting day. She was surprised to see Ginny the girl who had taken her to McGonagall's office the night before.
"What are you doing here?"
"McGonagall asked me to show you where everything is today since we have all the same classes"
"Oh, well that is very nice of you. Do have any other family here at Hogwarts?"
"Yes, in fact I do. My older brother Ron is the flying instructor here and his girlfriend is the transfiguration professor here. Do have any family here?"
"My brother"
"And that is..."
"Never mind him he doesn't know that I am even his sister or that he has a sister to begin with our parents died when we were babies and we were taken different places."
"That's so sad… how can I help."
"Never mind, do you have a boyfriend"
"Yes, his name is Harry Potter."
"Well that's great" Ginny couldn't help but notice that Abigail was sad when she mentioned Harry.
"Come on we should head to potions."
Both of the girls walked down to the dungeons and were headed to potions. Everyone kept looking at me. Like I was an unwanted abnormality. And that really scared me.
We walked into the Potions classroom and the professor was at the front of the class room looking over papers. Ginny told me to go up and ask the professor where I was to sit.
"Hello Professor Snape?"
"Yes?" he said without looking up from his papers
"I'm new and Ginny said that I should ask you were to sit."
He looked up and gasped" Holy Merlin. Lily?"
"Abigail sir,"
"Abigail what"
"I don't need to tell you I have a note from the headmistress explaining everything."
"Okay"
"Were do I sit?" I asked rather shyly.
"By Miss Weasley if you would, and would you tell me your name again."
"Abigail"
"Well miss Abigail this is an extremely hard class I hope you are up to the challenge."
"I am, I was the only student in my class to get and O in Potions"
Very well please take your seat"
Potions went rather smoothly after that. It still unnerved me that Snape called me Lily, my mother's name. I had expected no one other that McGonagall to recognize me.
ΩΩΩ
Ginny told me that our last class of the day was DADA. She said that it was her favorite class. I started to ask him why when a brown-haired girl not much older than me came running up to Ginny.
"Gin, what class do you have next?" the girl asked.
"My favorite of course DADA"
"Of course DADA is your favorite, you're dating the teacher "Hermione said smartly.
"Is that really such a bad thing "Ginny stated.
"So Harry Potter Is the DADA at Hogwarts?" I asked almost shaking.
ΩΩΩ
As I sat in the classroom, Harry stated that we would be dueling today. I was a bit nervous since this was my first class to see him. That when he told the class to get into their pairs. Ginny said to go and ask him what to.
"Well, I guess you're my partner Miss…?"
"Abigail"
"Well Abigail, lets duel"
We went through the formalities, bowing, walking paces.
"On my mark Miss Abigail "said Harry.
"One, two, three."
"Expelliarmus" he yelled
"Protego" I thought. And my shield popped up.
"Avis Oppendo"
"Confringo" I yelled and his pants caught on fire, I smiled, the entire class had stopped dueling and come too watch us.
"Aguamenti" he cried and water shot onto his pants, I could see Ginny smiling now too.
And the battle went on we had been battle for a long time now and we were both getting a little tired I could now see his weakness. His left side was open without protection
"Stupefy" I screamed and he went ridged. Everyone froze, no one had ever beaten Professor Harry Potter at a duel, and he had even beaten Lord Voldemort. And now a student had beaten him. Shock was still the main emotion.
I walked over to him and whispered enervate and he came too.
"Well done Miss..?"
"Potter, Abigail Potter" I stated and stormed out of the class room leaving everyone shocked.
