Chapter 4: Return to Hogwarts
**Two months later**
"A couple of start of term reminders before you go to your common rooms. First the Forbidden Forest is forbidden. A list of all items banned from the school is on the door to our caretaker, Mr. Filch's office. Any item on that list found will be confiscated. And now I would like to introduce our new teachers. First our new Quidditch teacher Mr. Harry Potter, see your head of house for details on the class, and our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers Mrs. Hermione Weasley and Mr. Sirius Black who will be taking over for a few months while Mrs. Weasley has her babies. Otherwise he will be helping and I remind you that as this may be the first year they teach here all three know more about this school than even I do. So don't try to sneak around when they are watching. Goodnight you have classes tomorrow." Dumbledore said as he gestured to the doors. He turned to Harry. "So do you still remember your way around?"
"Of course I do. In fact I can still get to Hogsmade in record time. Which by the way I didn't think about how often Cho and I will get to see each other. I guess just for a few hours on weekends." Harry said glumly.
"Why doesn't Mrs. Potter stay here with you? We have plenty of room for you two to live on a day-to-day basis. In fact I think there is a room not to far from Griffindor Tower that would do just perfectly. Right behind the statue of Fredrick Emmanu. Go pick up Cho and I'll set the password. It will have a lock too of coarse but what would you like the password to be?"
**The next Monday, Harry's first class.**
"Good morning class." Harry said to the mass of Ravenclaw and Griffindor third years.
There were a few mumbled good mornings. A small girl in back raised her hand. "What's your name and what can I do for you?" Harry asked kindly.
"Emily Thomas, Sir, and I was wondering if you were the Harry Potter," she said shyly.
"First off don't be afraid to ask questions. If I find they are too personal to answer I won't but this is my first time teaching, well officially anyway, and I'm happy to answer questions. Anyway, yes I am Harry Potter, boy-who-lived, famous seeker, so forth and so on. But yes and before you asked yes most of the rumors about my school days here are true. Anyway onto the lesson. How many of you have never played Quidditch?"
A few students raised their hands. "Ok so not all of you have its nothing to be ashamed of." He added the last part when he saw a few of the people blush. "I had never even heard of Quiddidtch when I came to school and still had no idea how to play when I got put on the team."
"I've got to see this." A voice said from behind. "You going to show them how to fall off your broom like you did the first time I saw you play."
Harry turned around. "Look everyone its Professor Black. And by the way Sirius its your fault I fell off the broom you were the one the dementors were after when they were at school and you know full well that was the only reason I fell. Anyway I was just going to demonstrate what a bludger can do you want to help? I'll let you hit it at me."
"Actually I came to tell you Hermione wanted you to visit her class of first years Friday and tell them your stories but I'm not going to pass up this chance."
**Friday Defense Against the Dark Arts Griffindors and Hufflepuffs**
"Class I've asked Professor Potter to speak to you on how to defend with whatever you have. Which is what I'm going to try to teach you this year." Hermione told her class.
The class was quiet as Harry took Hermione's spot. "Um this isn't really my area of expertise so um." Harry began.
"Excuse me? Not your area of expertise? What planet are you on? You survived Voldemort's curse when you were a year old, took out a full grown mountain troll after two months in Hogwarts, got through the trials to get to the Sorcerer's Stone in the end of your first year, wandered into the Chamber of Secrets and took out the Basilisk without the use of a wand in your second year, repelled a dozen dementors and broke Sirius out of Hogwarts without anyone seeing you in third year, won the Triwizard tournament and survived a duel with the resurrected Voldemort in your fourth year, and the numerous things you did in your fifth year including teach a bunch of us Defense Against the Dark Arts when we weren't learning it in class, shall I go on?" her tone was very strict.
"Well you just awed these kids with what I've done so I guess I'm stuck. By the way class your teacher here helped me with almost all of it. She was the brightest student in all of our year and could do any spell, create any potion, and quote every text book especially Hogwarts, A History. And before you say it yes I finally realized that you can't apparate or Dissapperate on Hogwarts grounds. So which adventure would you like to know about class?"
***Mid November Harry's class 6th year all houses***
"Settle Down. Settle Down." Harry said as he walked onto the pitch. No one heard him. Right then. "Next person that talks is out of my class." Silence followed. "Thank you. Now today we're going to have our first 'game'. I'll divide you into teams."
He was just about to start the game when he suddenly stopped. Cho was approaching the class. She looked nervous. "Can I trust you guys not to kill each other if I leave you alone for a few minutes? Get to know your teams they will be your team for the rest of the year." He gave them all a glare as if to say 'if you do try to kill each other you will wish you never came to Hogwarts', then headed over to meet Cho.
"What's wrong, hon?" he asked quite concerned. It was not normal for Cho to show up in his class unexpected. Normally she would mention it in the morning but now showing up unexpected and in the middle of class at that. something is wrong.
"Harry we need to talk. Privately. Can you get someone to watch your class? Its urgent." she looked a little nervous and her voice shook.
"Sure, I'll get Sirius to watch the class." He walked back to the class. "Hey John. Do me a favor, can you go get Professor Black for me tell him to hurry over here." He told a rather athletic and cocky Hufflepuff. John thought that this class was too easy and boy did Harry have a surprise for him. The guy played seeker on the Hufflepuff house team and Harry planned to play him to bring his ego down a notch.
A few minutes later Sirius came running out of the building Harry ran to head him off. "What's so urgent?" he asked gasping for breath.
"I need you to watch the class, Cho said she needed to talk to me privately and that it couldn't wait so I sent for you. Don't let them kill each other. And thank you so much." Harry hurried off to catch up with Cho who was already almost to the entrance of the school.
When they finally were in their room Harry sat on the bed and asked, "What's so important that you had to interrupt my class? Its not normal for you to come so unexpectedly."
"Harry, love, I'm pregnant." She said as if she was afraid of his reaction. He just stared openmouthed for a few moments. Then a smile spread across his face. He stood up and pulled her into a hug.
"I'm going to be a father. This is great. How far along are you?" He couldn't stop grinning.
"Only about three weeks but so far its healthy. So you are really happy about this?"
"Of course I am. I love you with all of my heart and this baby is the result of that so of course I'm happy."
"We should head to dinner. Don't want to look suspicious ditching half your class then showing up to dinner late."
They headed to dinner. They took their normal places next to Hermione and Sirius. Sirius immediately leaned over, "what was that about? What was so urgent?" he asked quietly.
"I'm going to be a daddy. That's what was so important."
Sirius stared at Harry for a moment. His face broke out in a huge grin. "Well, congrats. I think its---" he trailed off when Hermione gasped and held her abdomen. Harry and Sirius immediately stood up and helped Hermione out of her chair. Harry put his arm around her waist and hers around his shoulder and helped her limp out of the room. Sirius clearing the path in front. Cho ran to the fire to contact Ron.
After about three hour Ron came out of the hospital wing holding two little bundles. The one on the right was blue and the other was pink.
"Harry look. Aren't they just cute? Wanna hold them? Here this is Isiah," he said as he handed the baby in blue to Harry, "and this is Casandra." He said handing the other to Cho. Sirius was just coming around the corner leading Hope to meet her siblings after he had taken her to play for a bit.
Harry looked down at the child in his arms. Soon enough I'll have one of my own to look after, he thought. As if reading his mind Sirius patted him on the back. "A few more months Harry. Then you'll have one of your own." This made Ron look up. "You're gonna have one too?" He said utterly perplexed. "Just found out today. Soon I'll get to be a father." Madam Pomfrey ame out and informed them they could go in to see Hermione. As the door to the Hospital wing closed a boy emerged from his hiding place down the hall. "Wow, the professor is going to be a dad. I have to tell the others." He said to himself as he ran back to his common room.
By the next morning the whole school knew. Harry was at first shocked when a first year Ravenclaw congratulated him and told him that she hoped the baby would be healthy. Everyone was dying to see the twins but Madam Pomfrey would let no near them until she felt they would be able be away from the hospital wing.
