-Chapter Two-
Harry met up with Ginny at the station. Draco had yet to show up.
"Are we waiting for someone?" Ginny asked.
"Yep. There he is." Draco came over to them. "So you decided to show up after all."
"Never would have let this chance pass Potter." Draco looked at Ginny. "What's she doing here?"
"She's here to help us. And I don't want a fight about it." Harry said glaring at the two of them. "Lets go." This was said cheerfully.
The Platform was packed with students and mothers and fathers saying goodbye to each other.
The trio found an empty compartment and sat down.
"How long are we staying at Hogwarts and what's our excuse?" Draco asked.
"We're staying as long as we need, and we've gotten Madame Hooch's job. She suddenly wanted a vacation."
"But we can't just do that. We need something else to do in the meantime." Ginny protested.
"I know. That's why you're helping Madame Pomfrey in the Infirmary. And you're helping Snape with the classes Draco, so stop laughing." Harry said.
"And you?"
"I'm going to help any teacher or student that needs it."
"Just one more thing Potter. Do we get paid for this?"
"Nope." The door opened and a boy that could be 15 years old walked in, dragging his trunk. He had brown hair and blue eyes. "Hey Nicholas." Harry said.
The boy turned around in shock, but smiled when he saw Harry, Draco and Ginny.
"Damn Harry, you scared me. Didn't notice you guys." Nicholas Wolf was one of the youngest members in the Red Dragons Order. He was usually handling cases at Hogwarts that had to do with the student body directly. "It's cool with the Elves coming to Hogwarts, you know. Never thought I would see one in person."
They kept talking until the train had reached the station and they had to part. Harry, Draco and Ginny sat down at the teachers table. They were greeted warmly by every teacher, except Snape and Dubner.
"Hey, I'm Draco Malfoy. You're Divel Dubner! Good play at your last match against the Ballycastle Bats. Wasn't it 390 to 100?"
"400 to 50, and I'm Divel Dubner."
Divel Dubner was a tall, blonde man with blue, cold eyes. Harry had the feeling that he had seen the man before, and not in the papers. The voice was familiar too, but he couldn't remember from where.
"Harry Potter." He said, not showing anything that was going on inside his head.
"So you're the famous Gryffindor Seeker. Started in your first year, didn't you?" Harry nodded. "Well, I suppose it was good for you. But many people could have done it better."
Harry put on a mask and just smiled.
"I'm sure they could, but it happened to me." He said.
The doors to the Great Hall opened and the students filled in, many of them whispering about the three new people at the teachers table. Following the students came McGonagall with the first years in a row behind her. Flitwick had put the Sorting Hat on its three-legged stool. McGonagall lined the first years up then turned to the Hat. It jumped and began to sing.
'I am the Sorting Hat,
Yeah, that's right, it's me.
And I'm going to choose now
Where you ought to be.
Maybe in Gryffindor?
I tell you, this house's the best!
Where courage, loyalty and bravery
Is always put to the test.
Rawenclaw is good for you
If you're smart and like to learn.
People from this house
Always make destiny's turns.
Hufflepuff is your house
If you're patient, just and loyal.
Good ol' Hufflepuffs
Always break through the toil.
Then, at last, you have Slytherin,
The house of ambitions and cunning.
The plans that are cooked up there,
Send other people running.
Now that you know something,
About our houses four.
Put me on and let me tell you
The way to your destiny's shore.'
The Great Hall erupted into applause. McGonagall began to call up the first years.
"I wonder why it always sings about Slytherin last. Couldn't it be Gryffindor for once?"
"I think it has something to do with the tact and the words Draco." Harry replied.
First year after first year was Sorted. Finally they where finished. Dumbledore stood up.
"Now, that the firs years are Sorted we have s group of guests to Sort. Please welcome the students of the Elf school D'iver school of Magic."
The Elves came in; they didn't look too different from humans only their ears were pointed and most of them had blond hair. Their robes were not the Hogwarts school uniform but completely white with a black belt at the waist. On each side of the row walked guards, with bows, spears or swords. The Great Hall was deadly quiet.
McGonagall started to call up the Elves. In the end they too were Sorted. Harry noticed that not one of them had ended up in Slytherin.
"Now, before the feast begins I have to introduce our new Flying Instructors. Please welcome Ginny Weasley, Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter!" the Hall erupted in cheers. The Slytherins clapped mostly for Draco. "Now let the feast begin!" the plates were filled with food and everyone tucked in.
Harry suddenly realised that the Elf-guards were gone. He looked around and glimpsed a movement from the shadows behind the Ravenclaw table. If the Elves didn't want to be seen they would make sure that they weren't.
"So 'Arry," he turned to Hagrid. "How'ya been mate? Still can' keep outta tr'uble, eh?"
"I'm fine, and about the trouble-thing... well, I've gotten used to it. How's your class doing? Still problems with the Gryffindor and Slytherin classes?"
"Well, 'tis better tha' whe' ye two were in school." Hagrid said smiling at Draco and Harry. "But if it wer'n't for yer 'ouses it woul'ave been boring."
"Our goal in life is accomplished." Ginny said.
"Hear, hear!" Draco replied.
-------------------------
They started their tasks the next day. Draco helped Snape with his classes, Ginny spent the day with Madame Pomfrey and Harry had a class right after breakfast.
He was waiting for the Gryffindor first-years out on the Quidditch pitch. There his class came, lead by McGonagall.
"Here they are Harry. Now class, I expect you to behave yourself-"
"Don't worry Minerva," Harry interrupted her behaving-speech. "This is Gryffindor's we're talking about. I am sure that they'll behave. Right?" he turned to the children who nodded eagerly. "See?"
"Well, alright. But if they don't you be sure to take points off Harry, no matter if you were a Gryffindor yourself." She said sternly and left.
The kids gaped at him.
"What?"
"You were a Gryffindor?" a little girl asked.
"Yep. Now shall we get on with the class? Stand beside a broom."
The class went easily after that. Harry, to make it more interesting, showed them some comical ways to get in trouble on a broom. Like ending up hanging upside down if you weren't careful and so on. The class was laughing when they went.
"You had a good time, didn't you Potter?" Draco had walked out onto the pitch.
"Yep, you?" Harry asked as he put the brooms away.
"Slytherin and Gryffindor seventh years. You do the math."
Harry laughed and the two of them started to walk towards the castle. Both of them spotted an Elf-guard at the edge of the Forbidden Forest that was watching them. When the guard realised they could see him he melted into the shadows again.
"Those guys give me the creeps." Draco muttered. "Doesn't ol' Voldie guard the Shadow Element along with the common four?"
"Yep. That was what he used to block me in at the beginning of the duel three years ago."
"I wonder which Element Dumbledore guards. He is an Elemental Guardian, isn't he?"
"Yep. How do you think he knows everything that is said in the whole castle?"
"Spells?"
"No, the Element of Air tells him." Harry replied. "And the other three talks too, you just have to learn how to listen."
"And what are they telling you now?" Draco asked sarcastically, not believing a word of what Harry had said. "The course of the future? Your destiny?"
"Nope. They tell me that Snape wants you in his classroom in one minute sharp. It's the one with Rawenclaw and Hufflepuff."
"Oh shit! I forgot! Got to go!" Draco was off faster than you could say 'Quidditch'.
'But that is a good question. What is Dumbledore's special Element?' Harry thought.
-------------------------------
Harry was sitting in the Teachers Lounge and was reading the Daily Prophet when someone walked in. He looked over the paper and saw Dubner taking up the Witch Weekly magazine.
"So, how do you like being back at Hogwarts Potter?" Dubner asked flipping through the magazine.
"It nice to be back, that's for sure." Harry replied. "Where did you teach before you became a Quidditch star and started teaching at Hogwarts, if you don't mind me asking?"
"Why do you think I must have taught somewhere else but here?"
"Well, your teaching-skills speak for themselves. That is not something you get with only two years as teacher."
"Alright, you've gotten me there Potter. I worked at Durmstrang before, check with the Headmaster there if you don't believe me."
"Thank you." Harry replied. 'And you be sure I will.'
