I Own Nothing, Nadda, Zilch, Non! Sad, so sad.


I sat on one of the hard wooden benches between Harry and Ron across from Ron's Girlfriend Lavender and her best friend Padma. The two of whom were giggling incesintly while I rested my chin on my hand allowing Harry's hand to rest on my knee. Not really observing anything going on around me as I looked at our new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, she was definetly a beautiful woman. The sorting finished a few seconds later we had about 15 new Gryffindor's this year all off whom were gawking at Harry, Ron, and I. I looked up towards Dumbledore's weary smilling face, his face was a face that could make me smile in and among such inner turmoil.

"Good to see you smile Hermione." Harry said hugging me around my shoulders with one arm making me smile harder, leaning into Harry.

"Welcome back for another year at Hogwarts," Dumbledore said starting his yearly speech, "Now, I know most of you would not want to hear a old man such as myself Ramble on, now a few announcments, First, our new Defence Against the Dark Arts is a Miss. Pippa Cross," Miss. Cross stood up giving a slight curtsy her dark curls and deathly pale skin gave off an elegant beauty as her eyes shone a deep amethyst purple almost seeming to flash between that and a dark blue. "Our second and last announcment is that the Forbidden Forest is just as it's name implies forrbiden. Now enjoy your dinners." Dumbledore said finishing his always short speeches waving one of his hands and all of the food for the begining of the year feast appeared infront of us.

I reached for a chicken leg daintily feeling some one eyes on me coming from the profesors table. I looked up and saw Miss. Cross' eyes on me as she smilled a very wicked smile. Upon closer inspection Miss. Cross didn't seem much older then the rest of the sixth years.

"Harry?" I asked unable to look away from Miss. Cross, and nudged his arm before breaking my stare and looking at Harry's bright green eyes, "Is it just me or is there something odd about the new profesor?" I asked watching Harry look up at her, then shaking his head no,

"Seems a little young to be our professor but she must just look young." He said with a shrug that didn't leave me to self assured something about this Miss. Pippa Cross left me warry.

That night after dinner I met Luna in the room of requirments after dinner. The room was a coozy room with a double bed next to a roaring fire, the bed was covered in what appeared to be home made quilts and afgans and big fluffy pillows. Luna sat on the bed with two large mugs of hot chocolate in her tiny hands. She sat there in her dark blue plaid flannel pajama pants and a black long sleave thermal. I joined Luna on the bed in my red plaid flannel pants and black tanktop. Luna handed me one of the mugs,

"Okay, tell me what's wrong on the train you looked like you killed your first pet." I gave Luna one of those looks about her odd analogies, before taking a sip of the hot chocolate,

"My mom died, and I had a vision about it before I dragged Harry there, then that night I saw Cedric." I said sobbing over the hot chocolate, Luna blinked at me,

"You mean you had a nightmare?" I shook my head and took a deep breathe trieing to calm myself down,

"No Luna, he's real, he's back, but he's not alive, and he won't be with me again, because he's a vampire Luna, my Cedric's a vampire!" I cried sobbing harder, Luna took the mug of hot chocolate out of my hands and set the mugs down on a table that magically appeared, before taking me into her awaiting arms, comforting me rubbing my back telling me it would be okay.

The next afternoon I sat in Defence Against the Dark Arts inbetween Harry and Ron. Miss. Cross sat at her desk writing something down until class started. Once the magical bell rang she stood up from her desk elegantly before swooping down in front of us.

"Bonjour class, I am your new Professor Miss. Pippa Cross, and I thought we would spend our first day doing something different, new, exciting. I'm going to take you to a cave deep in the Forrbiden Forest where we will get to know about the history of magic. Now gather up your supplies please class." Lavender's hand shot up in the air quickly,

"The only class we are allowed to go into the Forbidden Forest for is The Care of Magical Creatures!" She exlaimed forcing me to role my eyes and continued to put my books and notebooks into my bag.

"Yes Miss. Brown, but I have gotten special permition from Headmaster Dumbledore to take you out to the cave. Every one ready?" She asked clapping her hands together. Most the class stood up with their bags slung over their shoulders, and followed Miss Cross out of the class room and out of the castle towards the Forbidden Forest. The closer we got to the forest the more it's dark tree's loomed over us, I looked up into the trees wondering what kind of mysteries must have dwealed here before Hogwarts had been here.

We went deep into the forest to where the sun barely made it through the dence leafy over hang of the tree. Once we reached the cave that looked rather small we entered it to see Miss. Cross sitting cross legged on the ground with her robes spread around her looking some what a fairy princess sitting in the lite cave.

"Have a seat and take out some paper to take notes, in this cave dweals some secrets to some of the beginings of the magic in our world." She said her voice smoothe as honey waving her hand elegantly to the walls behind her, Draco raised his hand boldly and she pointed to him,

"Yes, Mr. Malfoy." She said pointedly,

"If that's so why hasn't Binns brought us here for our History of Magic classes?" He asked skeptic of our new teacher as I felt.

"Because it is a sacred cave, sacred to groups such as the Order, the Druids, Celts, legend even says the Rakshana was given the privalage to be in here once long ago before they had a falling out with the Order." She smilled to herself as if remembering a memory long ago. "Of course, as a school girl at Spence my friends and I never heeded the sacredness of this place." I kept raking my brains trying to think of where I had heard all these names,

"Miss. Cross?" Padma asked raising her hand, waiting for Miss. Cross to call upon her,

"Yes, Miss. Patil?" She asked in a smoothing manner, a secret smirk playing at her lips,

"Who were the Order and the Rakshana?" She asked boldly raising her head in defiance,

"The Order was a secret society of women before the making of a minestry of magic, witches with the power to gain entrance to another world, a very selective world really, most witches up till the making of the Ministry were not of orders but were every witch for themselves, to be a member of the Order you had to be born into it or selected by the mistresses of the Order. The Rakshana were more commonly known as their lovers, and the muscle wizard men high in society, the muggle society typically." Miss. Cross looked down at a old pocket watch before looking back up at us, "Oh but look at the time, we must be heading back." She said ushering us out of the cave, Malfoy grabbed my arm as we were leaving,

"Granger, there's something odd about that teacher, The Order and the Rakshanna have been dead society's since the 18th century and were never known by those outside of the society's." I looked at him shocked and yanked my arm away from him,

"And how do you know this Malfoy?" I questioned looking on at Harry and Ron who were looking at us,

"The Malfoy's used to be part of the Rakshana, before you their down fall, and Order fell a few years before the Rakshanna their High Priestess died with out leaving a true heir. Go we'll talk another time." He said pushing me toward's Ron and Harry,

"What did the ferret want?" Ron asked skepticlly, I shrugged holding my head high,

"Malfoy doesn't trust the new professor." I said questioning to myself how Cedric could be brought back by a dead society.
