The rest of the night passed on uneventfully after the marauders appearance, the houses seemed to have broken out of their daze and were all chatting and laughing with their friends.


Meanwhile At Gryffindor Table

"Hey, who's the bloke sitting next to Dumbledore?" James asked to no one in particular, nodding toward Harry.

"The new Defense Against the Dark Arts aide, he was the one who fell through the roof of the Great Hall." A girl to his right responded.

"Oh, well, hope he's good, last DADA teacher and his aide sucked, I wonder when they are going to stop having an aide for DADA?" Sirius Black asked.

"Well, there is a plus side, he is really cute." A girl said, her friends and she giggled when she said that.


Slytherin Table

"What do you think of the new aide, mudblood or not?" asked Daniel Nott.

"Mudblood, definitely," Lucius Malfoy said, "I have never heard of the name Moon."

"You would know." Severus Snape said softly, pushing his food around with his fork.

"Severus, do not be so downcast. This is your last year here, then you can join the Dark Lord." Bellatrix Black said, her eyes full admiration at the mention of the Lord Voldemort.

All the students fell silent at the Slytherin table, glaring at Bellatrix for almost announcing to the school what many of the seventh year Slytherins were planning on doing as soon as school was over.

"Be quiet Bella, you will get us all caught." Lucius Malfoy snapped, glaring at said woman.

Bellatrix just brushed her long black hair out of her eyes, and picked up her fork and started to play with her food before she ate it.


Harry was quietly eating, and speaking to Dumbledore at the same time when he felt a pair of eyes burning into him. He looked up and locked eyes with Severus Snape, they held eachother's gaze, neither looking away, until Lucius Malfoy started talking to Snape, demanding his attention.

Severus tore his gaze away from Harry, and Harry jumped when Mcgonagoll turned to him.

"Where did you attend school before deciding to be a teacher's aide?" Mcgonagall asked, looking at him expectantly.

"Durmstrang," Harry answered with an ease, " Durmstrang was interesting for a while, but I decided Hogwarts was the best place to get a teaching job, since there are more students and the forest would be a great place to be since your school has one of the highest grade point averages in all of the Wizarding World."

"Durmstrang? What is it like there?" Flitwick asked, curiousity lighting his features.

"Durmstrang has a castle, but it is not as big, and not as comfortable, we have four floors, and fires are lit for magical purposes only, our grounds are larger than these but in the summer we fly over the lakes and mountains." Harry said, recieting what Viktor Krum had told Hermione at the Yule Ball.

"How wonderful!" Flitwick cried.

"Are you by any chance related to Edmund Moon? Creator of the Wolfsbane Potion?" Horace Slughorn asked, a smile on his gleaming, chubby face.

"I might, who knows my family left Britian many years ago, so it could be possible." Harry said a forced smile on his face. Praying that he wasn't invited to Slug Club.

Dessert appeared soon after their conversation, and Harry was pleased to see Treacle Tart. Harry was pulled into a debate with Flitwick about wether or not some charms or defensive spells were better for some things than others.

"I'm telling you right now," Harry said, " Expellarimus is best in a duel because it quickly disables your oppenent."

"But the Expellarimus might be good in a duel but if you are trapped in a situation, say with inferi, what will you do? You can't disarm them!" Flitwick argued.

"Gentlemen, as much as I enjoy a good debate, we should hurry and finish this feast, the students are getting very sleepy, and classes start tomorrow." Dumbledore interrupted, a smile on his face.

"Fine." They both muttered, mutinous looks on their faces.

"And now students, Off you trot!" Dumbledore said a smile on his old face.


How was that? I think I could do better, Review and do what ever else you want.

Sincerely,
