(AN) Hey hey! Well this is my very first Harry Potter story. So if it not all that great compared to all the other stories (which by the way are really really good) please bear with and please correct me if there is something wrong. I just started reading the books, so things might be a bit off. But overall enjoy!
(Disclaimer) yada yada yada…I don't own it and I'm not making any money…yada yada yada.
(Story Plot) Severus Snape has always had a problem with every defense against dark arts professor…but…
"Slytherins!"
The last of the first years being sorted into the four houses was finally completed. It was Harry, Ron and Hermione's sixth year at Hogwarts.
Harry looked around the four house tables to see all the first years looking relieved and satisfied with the choices of the sorting hat. Just as he was looking around he noticed the was an empty seat at the head table next to Professor Snape.
He turned his attention back to Ron and Hermione. "Who do u s'pose is the empty seat is for?"
Ron shrugged as he waited for Dumbledore to make his usual speech, but he was really waiting for the food.
"Think Harry, who else would it be for?" Hermione finally spoke up.
Harry looked at her quizzically before it hit him. "I wonder who the new Defense Against Dark Arts Professor is?"
"I don't care who it is, just as long as they don't give it to Snape, having him teach us when Lupin was here was a nightmare." Ron stated.
"Well, whoever it is, I doubt that they'll be here any longer than a year."
Hermione spoke the truth. Ever since they arrived as first years, there has always been a different professor each year. It has been said that the job is jinxed. First one died, second one was a lunatic liar, third one was a good one whom he wished hadn't taken off, the fourth one was just…interesting and as for the fifth one, well lets just leave at that.
Professor Dumbledore finally stood up to make his usual speech to the first years about the rules and students not allowed in the forest. "Ah, now that everything has been said, let the feast begin."
Magically, the empty plates in front of them were now filled with various food.
The time flew by, there was still no sign of the new defense professor. "Maybe Dumbledore couldn't find one this year." Harry suggested while the Gryffindor house made their way up to their common room.
The next morning came, all the students woke early due to the fact that Professor McGonagall would soon arrive with their schedules for the year. Everyone settled down in the common room, just then Professor McGonagall entered and handed all the students their schedules.
"Rats! I've got double potions first!" Ron complained.
Harry and Hermione looked down on their schedules. "Your not the only one Ron." Harry pointed out to Ron.
"Well at least will get to see who'll be teaching Defense Against Dark Arts today." Hermione said.
The three of them made their way to the Great Hall, ate some breakfast and were on their way to Potions. Again they had it with Slytherins and Professor Snape, who utterly despised Harry. They managed to get through the class alive and for once, Snape didn't assigned any homework which was really odd.
"Maybe some one finally knocked some sense into him…"Ron suggested.
"Highly doubtful." Hermione argued.
Now a days, Hermione and Ron were bickering less and less, which was good for Harry. Only every once in a while they did.
They all arrived to their next lesson, Defense Against Dark Arts. They were all chattering happily till they saw what would make them loose the will to talk anymore, Snape.
"Don't tell me he's teaching Potions and this." Ron mumbled.
Snape eyed they three, just then a loud ring ran though the school. "I suggest you all take your seat unless you would like to stand for the rest of the time."
Harry, Ron and Hermione shuffled though the desk and found their usual places, up in front.
"Turn to page 462."
"I am your Defense Against Dark Arts Professor the year. If there is any questions and I suspect there are a few, ask them now."
No one spoke a single word.
Just then Dumbledore walked into the room with deprived looking person. All the students tried to get a clear look of the person but could not see the persons face due to the fact that it was covered with a hood and a scarf. They made their way towards the front to Snape.
Snape stood the quietly looking a bit distraught. He knew that Dumbledore had found someone to take the job and he was pretty angry that he did. After all he had been wanting the job for the longest time.
Dumbledore smiled before he spoke to the class. " My apologies for the delay, but we do in fact have a new Defense Against Dark Arts Professor." He turned to look at Professor Snape, "Severus, you do not have to take your time off to teach Defense Against Darks Arts, I do appreciate you volunteering as always."
Snape showed no emotions what so ever.
Professor Dumbledore continued. " May I introduce you to the newest Professor, Professor Charisma Creylyn."
The person next to Dumbledore finally removed the scarf and hood only to reveal a beautiful lady. Her long, straight hair pulled back half way fitted perfectly with her hair color which was dark autumn, naturally high-lighted in various places with jet black under layer. Her face was very soft featured and grayish- hazel cat like eyes that you could get lost in. Her skin was a natural peach color, pale pink lips and the natural blush on her cheeks was like the finishing touch that you would add to a banana split.
She looked around the class observing everyone's reaction.
"Wow, she pretty." Lavender Brown whispered to a fellow Gryffindor.
"I trust that you are aware of what to do?" asked Professor Dumbledore.
"Of course professor." She replied with a beautiful smile.
With that, Professor Dumbledore took off. She turned to Snape who stood there and surprisingly he looked at her in shock and in awed.
"Charisma Creylyn…"He mumbled under his breath.
"Severus…It has been indeed a very long time. We shall talk later I presume. But right now is not a good time for I have a room full of students waiting to be taught."
With one last stare at Professor Creylyn, Professor Snape took off.
She walked around over to her desk, removed her coat. She was wearing similar robes that Professor McGonagall wore, but instead it was gray.
She looked around the class once more before she spoke. "As good ole Professor Dumbledore said, my name is Professor Creylyn. I have one rule, if you have a question, there is no need to raise your hand."
Ron turned to Harry. " I think I'm going to like this class."
