A/N: This is from Sirius' point of view.
The woman scares me. Not a lot does if I'm honest but that doesn't mean she doesn't. I don't know what it is about her that scares me but I get the feeling that she could tear me limb from limb if she so dearly wanted. I could feel her magic surrounding her when I first met her, I've only ever felt that when I'm standing right next to Professor Dumbledore. Plus the twins flanking her had a look of trepidation on their faces as if they weren't sure how she might react. And seeing as their her cousins I find that even more frightening.
A nudge in the side from James and a cough from Remus makes me realise I'm staring at her. Judging from the glare I'm receiving from the twin on her left I guess James and Remus aren't the only ones who noticed. It's then that I notice Professor Slughorn looking at me expectantly.
"Sorry Professor, I wasn't really paying attention. Could you repeat that?" I ask, flashing him a winning smile but just as he is he's interrupted by Professor Dumbledore clearing his throat.
"Please may I have your full" Here he looks at me over his half moon glasses. "attention. I would like to introduce our three new DADA Professors. Hermione Granger, Fred Granger and George Granger. As you can probably tell Fred and George are twins and Hermione is their cousin, two years younger than them. I just thought you would like to know so it doesn't come as a shock when I announce it to the whole school during the Feast. And Lupin, Black, Potter and Pettigrew; I expect you to not tell anyone about them until then. Thank you all for your patience, lunch will be served at twelve and tea at six as usual."
At the end of his speech everyone is left staring at the three new Professors including me. Nobody moves whilst the twin on the left leans behind the woman - Hermione - an stage whispers. "Oy Freddie, do you think that we rendered them speechless with our good looks?" But something in his eyes tells me doesn't mean it and he's just going through the motions. There's no mischief in his eyes.
The twin called George then sits back normally with a smirk on his face whilst sending a wink to Professor Sprout. Well the smirk stayed until Hermione lifted her head and smacked him round the back of the head. They then stand and start to head out when Professor McGonagall asks them if they want help finding their quarters again. The twin on her right, Fred I think, responds with - "We remember the way, don't worry yourself!" They leave behind them a grinning James, a blushing Sprout and an annoyed looking Minnie.
And yet throughout all this I can't shake the feeling that something isn't right with them. A brief look at Remus tells me he thinks the same whilst a brief glance at James tells me he's planning a prank. Peter is stuffing his face as usual and hasn't seemed to notice anything at all. We leave the table next and I decide to tell them about my suspicions after I've found out what prank James is planning and making sure that it gets Snivellus in some way.
