Aria opened her eyes as she stood on platform 9. The Weasley's, Hermione and her brother Harry was about to enter to platform 9 and ¾, and she walked over to them and waited for her turn to enter. She remembered how scary it was the first time, she had been living with the Montgomery's since Voldemort came and tried to kill her brother when they were babies. When she was eleven, she was told that she was a witch and she had also been told that she have a brother. It was a bit hard to believe at first, but after a while she couldn't wait to go to Hogwarts.

Aria was the first one to enter the train, so she went looking for an empty compartment. When she found one she walked in and sat next to the window. The others walked in and sat down. Ron started talking but Aria didn't listen. She was all caught up in her thoughts.

- "Aria?" Harry nearly screamed.

- "Oh, sorry I got lost in my thoughts. You were saying?"

- "Okay, I just asked who you thought would be the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher this year?"

- "I don't know probably just an old one who has started again, because they couldn't find a new one. Or maybe just some random guy who we have never heard of before. I really don't care, I just want to go my last year and start an life, you know? But we should probably change now, I mean we are soon arriving at Hogwarts."

When they all had changed clothes, they felt that the train had stopped so they started walking to the nearest exit. The were almost there when Aria accidentally bumped in to somebody.

- "Watch were you're going!" Malfoy roared to Aria. "Isn't it Potter, mini Potter, Weasley, mini Weasley and Granger."

- "Just stop it Malfoy, it's only annoying and it's not like anyone thinks you're cool just for acting like an idiot." Aria said and started to become a bit annoyed.

- "Don't talk to me like that!"

- "No taunts? I'm surprised." Malfoy walked away angrily. "He is so annoying, and what is he even doing here? Weren't he like a death eater?"

- "Yes, he was but their family didn't participate so much in the war, and his mother did save my life." Harry said.

- "She did? How? When? Why?"

- "It was during the final battle and I just found out that I was a horcrux so I had to let Voldemort kill me or at least throw the killing curse at me. And then I fainted and apparently he did to, so when we waked up he ordered Malfoy's mother to check if I was dead and she asked if Malfoy was dead and I said that he wasn't so she told him that I was dead to get back to the castle so she could find her son. So they didn't get put in Azkaban."

- "Okay"

- "Lets go to the wagons, we don't want to miss them do we?" Hermione said changing the subject.

- "No, lets go!" Ginny answered.

Aria and the others walked in without looking at the staff table, and Ginny found a place for them to sit near the entrance.

The sorting went real quick and McGonagall started talking.

- "Hello, and welcome to Hogwarts. As some of you know, I'm the new headmaster, and that isn't the only rearrangement in the staff this year. We have new teachers in two subjects. In Defense Against the Dark Arts, we'll have two teachers, Professor Ezra Fitz and Professor Hardy Winters (author's note: I don't know what Hardy's last name is, but I didn't find it so I just made one up, but it's the same Hardy who was in S01E05 Reality Bites Me)." Aria looked up. Is he joking? He a wizard? And a teacher here? Aria thought to herself while she looked down.

- "And teacher in Transfiguration is Professor Jackie Molina." Professor McGonagall continued. "I hope you all will have a good year."

The food came up and everyone ate like they never seen food in their lives, every one except Aria. Aria didn't eat at all.

- "What is it Aria, are you feeling ill?" Hermione asked.

- "A bit actually, Mione. I think I'll skip this meal, or I'll just feel worse."

- "Oh, I hope it will get better." Aria could just think about Ezra.

When they had come to the dormitory, Hermione asked Aria how she felt again.

- "I just fell ill, that's all, Mione."

- "Stop it, Aria. I know you well enough to know that you're lying."

- "Ezra, or professor Fitz was my English teacher back in Rosewood, and Jackie Molina is his ex-fiancée. And that Hardy guy is Ezra's friend, they go way back."

- "Oh, I'm so sorry Aria. What are you going to do?"

- "I'm going to go to the class extra early tomorrow and talk to him. We don't need another 'holy crap' moment."

- "Okay, but now we have to sleep so, good night, Aria."

- "Good night, Mione."

When Aria woke up everyone else was asleep. So she quietly got ready and left for breakfast. They were only a few people in the Great Hall and luckily, nor Hardy, Jackie or Ezra were there so she ate up fast, and rushed back to the dormitory. Aria sat down on her bed and started to read. She didn't notice when Hermione woke up.

- "Do you want to go and eat with me?"

- "No I've already eaten."

- "Already?"

- "Yeah, I like eating in silence. And without ex-boyfriends, ex-boyfriend's ex-fiancées or ex-boyfriends friends in the room."

- "Okay, I'll see you later."

Aria walked to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class room, and saw Ezra standing and sorting paper or something.

- "Ezra?"

- "Holy crap, Aria what are you doing here?"

- "I'm going to school here. And I wanted to talk to you before class started."

- "About what?"

- "Don't talk to me in that tone."

- "What tone?"

- "That tone, that clearly says; I try to pretend that I don't care, but I'm angry and sad."

- "Okay." Ezra's tone was better but not good.

- "Why are you angry, and where do we stand?"

- "We're over and I'm angry because you told somebody."

- "No I didn't tell a soul." People started to enter the classroom. "Lets talk after class, Okay?" She didn't wait for an answer. She walked quickly to her brother Harry who was entering the room.

- "You never said what you felt for Ginny. But I'm not the one you should speak to about it. Talk to Ginny in the next brake. Promise"

- "Okay, I'll talk to her, but I'm just afraid she doesn't feel the same."

- "The most important thing is that you talk, so that there isn't this big misunderstanding between you guys." Aria said as she walked to a desk and sat down. It didn't take long until Hermione sat down beside her.

- "So how did it go?" Hermione whispered quietly to the girl next to her.

- "We'll talk after class."

- "My name is Ezra Fitz and I'll be one of your Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers. I haven't been in England since I graduated here a couple of years ago. I've been living in the United States. Where I educated to became a teacher. Then I educated one year at a muggle school and now I'm here. Over to you now Hardy,"

- "My name is Hardy Winters and I'll be your other Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. I graduated the same year as Professor Fitz and I haven't really been doing anything since I graduated. But I'm here to teach you now."

- "So could anyone tell us what you know about the dark arts and defense against it?"

The lesson was just about what we had learned and what had happened in England the last years.

When the lesson was finally over Aria walked to Ezra.

- "I didn't tell 'A', I swear!"

- "I don't believe that you did either."

- "What?"

- "It were just the easiest, we couldn't go on acting like we did, so I took this job and I didn't know how I would tell you that I was taking a job here."

- "Ezra, you are a jerk. You can't just blame it all on something random. I thought that it was my fault someway, and that you were really angry at me. Do you know how I felt?"

- "I'm sorry. Forgive me…" Ezra leaned his head closer to Arias.

- "No…"

- "Forgive me…" Ezra leaned his head even closer. Their lips were about an inch a way from each others. Aria couldn't resist it anymore, so she kissed him, and he kissed her back.

- "I'm sorry Ezra, but my next class starts soon. I really have to go. Bye." Aria gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before she ran away to her class.
