Chapter 2- Discussions

**********

He ran down the Quidditch field to prepare. Harry knew that he would only be teaching flying lessons but he also wanted to explain the rules of the game to anyone who didn't know.

He had the students stand next to the broomsticks and say up just as he had done his first year. He wondered if he had any students like himself or like Neville. He knew if he did he would be able to handle the situation, but he liked to be prepared.

The class ended with no accidents and nothing special happening. Harry laughed and thought, "I guess I am a good teacher, no one fell off of their brooms."

When he got back to his room after dinner Hermione had already sent her reply.

Dear Harry,
I am so proud of you. Congratulations on being named seeker and of course I will come to all of your games. I miss watching you win at Quidditch. I am glad you told me since I have been missing the Daily Prophet, I had not already heard.
Harry are you really now a Hogwarts teacher? Remember we were only students ourselves last year. Since I believe what you are saying, Harry, don't favor Gryffindor that won't be right.
I am so glad that Sirius has been cleared this is what we have been hoping for since our third year. Did he buy a big house? I still wonder how the Death Eaters found out about Number Twelve Grimmauld Place. As soon as you move in send me an owl and I will come to visit. All my love,
Hermione

Harry said to himself laughing, "Same old Hermione. It almost seems she has a reply ready before I send the letter."

Then another owl flew into Harry's room. The letter attached to it was from Professor Dumbledore.

It said:

Harry, Meet me in my office. We have to discuss your classes. Albus Dumbledore

Harry immediately walked to the old gargoyle state and said the password. He stepped on the staircase as it began to move upward.

"Harry, tomorrow you have your first Gryffindor class. Do you know you to handle it?" asked Professor Dumbledore.

"Yes Professor. No favoritism. I know, Hermione said the same thing." replied Harry.

Dumbledore added jokingly, "Harry we are colleagues now, call me Albus. And exactly right, as Hermione usually is. It would not be fair to the other houses."

"Yes, I agree," said Harry

"Since you are only teaching first years it is no problem, you have never met any of them before, so treat all of them equally including the Slytherins." said Albus.

"Is this all you wanted to tell me, Albus?" questioned Harry with added stress on the name Albus.

"No, that is not all. Your godfather is coming to visit you tomorrow. You are to meet him in Hogsmeade in the Three Broomsticks after your classes are through." answered Albus. "That is all. Goodnight Harry."

Harry quickly answered, "Goodnight, Pro-," here Harry caught himself, "Albus," and headed back to him room thinking about the day ahead.

As he got to his room he saw a small gray owl, "Hello Pig." Pig zoomed around the room once more before giving Harry his letter. After fulfilling his task Pig hooted softly in gratitude, then he flew out of the open window and out of sight into the night.

Harry then turned to the letter that Pig had delivered, it was Ron's reply.

Dear Harry,
Congratulations on being named Seeker I told you that you would. I want a schedule of all of your games. I will not miss a single one I promise. You can get me good seats right? Anyway I'll be there.
Umm…What do you mean you're a teacher we were only students last year. Well…at least you are sticking to your strength Quidditch.
I started my training as an Auror so I already knew about Sirius. Only three more months and I become an Auror. I still can't believe they let me skip two years training because of our work with the Order of the Phoenix. It seems only yesterday we were on the Hogwarts Express for the first time. Well good luck Harry and I'll see you at Quidditch games. Your Best Friend,
Ron P.S. Say hi to Ginny for me.

As Harry got into bed he remembered the great day he had and looked forward to the next.

He was worried about what would happen but he had already taught one class. Harry wondered why Gryffindors still had Quidditch with the Slytherins. Didn't all of the teachers know that they were enemies?
