Chapter 10: Paul? (a bit too obvious, huh? ah who cares)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Suze POV

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay. Like I said before, I hate mornings.

If you forgot why, than your dumb.

HELLO! HERMIONE IS A MORNING FREAK!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, NOW you remember. Better late then never, I guess. "Hermione, must I chase you again?" I threatened as I got up. Hermione looked scared for a second, and then ran. But really, doesn't she know anything by now, I mean, we've been here at Hogwarts for about 2 weeks now.

Oh, you want me to fill you in? Sure thing! Okay, well, Draco is scared of me. And Lavender has been laying off of Jesse, but I'm guessing she's planning something. Only a guess, only a guess. And everything else has been okay.

Harry had told me about the whole 'New DADA teacher every year' thing. So I said, "Really?" They all said yeah. But I mean really, Defence Against The Dark Arts. How hard is that? You teach kids and teenagers how to devend themselves. Sounds easy, if you ask me.

So, you wanna know who they asked to teach the class? You do?

Well, so do I. They still haven't found a teacher! So instead, Dumbledore has been coming down each day to teach us. And sometimes its that Snape guy too. I just hope they find a permanent teacher soon. It's really annoying having teachers switch to DADA every few days.

"WHEN are we getting a permanent DADA teacher?" One of the girls in my dormitory called out. Truth is, I still don't know all their names.

"I just hope soon. Snape's a hard teacher for potions, but DADA too" The girl beside the one that spoke last answered.

I just got up, untangled my hair and showered. After I was dressed I headed downstairs to see Hermione, Harry, and Ron. "Why, does it always take you an hour to get ready?" Harry asked.

"Hair." Was all I said as Hermione cracked up, "Seriously, you guys HAVE to see Suze's hair in the morning. It's crazy." Hermione said.

"HEY! It's not that bad. At least it ain't a poof ball." I teased Hermione back which made us all start laughing.

"Come on, breakfast awaits us!" Ron said as he led us out of the common room and into the Saturday Morning hallway.

But as we turned down the corner, guess who I saw?

Hm, look at the chapter name. Wait, yes, do you know!

Yes, it was PAUL! I was so shocked to see him there that I just stood in place and looked at him. He was talking to Draco and hadn't seen me yet. "Suze, something wrong?" Harry asked as he saw me not moving.

"Hm? Oh, nothing. Just that, Paul's here." I said happily. Did I mention we're friends? You see, we made a vow that he'd not stalk me, but still give me Shifter Lessons. And so, he and Jesse also had to become friends of somewhat. So now, Paul was sort of a family friend, if you will. Sort of like a brother, even though I have ENOUGH of those now, don't ya think?

"Suze?" Paul said as he looked at me. I smiled, waved, acted unlike the Suze everyone knows and ran over to him and Draco.

This, of course, made Draco walk backwards, "Hey Draco, what's the matter??" Paul asked as he looked at the platinum blonde haired teenager.

"Suze," Draco replied, which made me laugh.

"Hey Paul, oh, and don't mind him. He's still scared of me since I beat him up." I said which made Paul laugh, "How much of your power did you use this time?" He asked.

"Hm, about only one percent," I admitted which made us two laugh again. Ya, you know Paul has seen my full power before and to see someone be afraid by just one percent of the power, that was funny to us.

"Truly Suze, are you trying to traumatize everyone?!" Paul asked teasingly. See, he has changed a lot. We truly do act like siblings. This makes brother number 5. Wow, I have LOTS of brothers.

"Suze?" Harry asked walked over.

"Oh, yeah, Paul, this is my twin brother Harry." I introduced them, "And Harry, this is one of my friends, ex-stalker and one of the many people who used to try to kill me, Paul."

"Susannah, Susannah, Susannah, must you always tell people the bad side of me?" Paul asked with a smirk.

"Paul, its Suze, and yes; I must, it's in my programming." I replied with a smile and added, "Hey, did you know Jesse is here?"

Paul went dead white, hahaha that's a funny site to see, and said, "Jesse...is here?"

Oh, I forgot to tell everyone something. You see, Jesse and Paul had a fight a couple weeks before I left and I'm afraid Jesse may kill Paul next time he sees him, "Yeah, he's working in the Hospital Wing." I explained.

"Oh. God." Paul murmured as we started walking down the hall. "Oh come on Paul! I won't let him hurt you. Honestly. What kind of sister would I be then?"

"Sister?" Hermione, Ron, Harry, and Draco all asked.

"Oh, yeah, you see. After we made an agreement of no more stalking or killing each

other, we got pretty close, but in a sibling manner, so we're sort of like 'brother and sister' if you will." I explained.

Hermione just sighed and said, "God, Suze you're gonna end up with about the same amount of brothers that Ginny has!"

We laughed at that and entered the Great Hall and saw Jesse. I motioned for Paul to follow me and the two of us headed up to see him. "Hey, Jesse, look who Draco found."

"Querida, w-" Jesse started but stopped when he saw Paul. "Paul. What. Are. You. Doing. Here?"

Wow, seeing Jesse get angry is a MAJOR thing! I've never seen him this angry except for maybe once or twice in my lifetime of knowing him!

"Well, I'm going to be working here, like you I guess." Paul said with a smirk. I raised an eyebrow and said, "Working here?"

"Oh, you guys probably weren't told yet." Paul said and turned to Jesse. "Jesse, how about we make an agreement. No more fighting, forget what happened during the summer, start over. Not all, all, over. Just as far as the fight," Paul tried to negotiate.

"Sure," Jesse said and turned to his friendly self again, how he can change personality's so well, I'll never know, "But don't make a fool of yourself here, okay? We know for a fact that a certain student is going to be stalking you."

"Wait, stalking?" Paul asked.

I explained, "There's this girl, Lavender, in my class and stuff. She's been acting like a total slut towards Jesse and saying he'd be hers by the end of the year. It's truly disgusting."

"Oh, well, she won't get me. You see, I, have a girlfriend." Paul said with a smile/smirk.

"Wait—what? Who is it?" Me and Jesse asked at the same time.

"Lemme guess, Kelly?" I guessed with a disgusted tone. Paul knew of my hate towards the preppy girl.

"Haha, you're so funny Suze! But no, not her; I think you know this girl." Paul replied.

"Hmm...I don't know, just tell us." I said as we saw more students start to enter the Great Hall and sit at their tables.

"Well, her name starts with a 'G' and ends with 'ina'. Ring a bell?" Paul hinted towards the girl.

"GINA!" I screamed and everyone turned to me and said to them, "What? You have a problem! Go take it up with Draco." Haha, he'll be busy today seeing as how he's all vulnerable at the moment.

Ha ha.

Ha ha.

"Yes, Suze, Gina," Paul replied after everyone stopped looking at us.

"Gina, isn't that your friend from New York?" Jesse asked, I gave a nod in reply and turned to Paul, "So, wait, did you meet her in New York, or did she come down to California?"

"She came to Cali. She said she moved down there and really wanted to see you. After a while we became close, and then boyfriend girlfriend. She has a good taste in music and clothes, you know?" Paul explained how the two met and how Gina saw Paul.

"Interesting, I'll have to write to my family, and say hi to her," I replied and added, "Well, I've got to go. I'll see you later Jesse. Paul, you can sit with us if you want seeing as how no one else knows you're a teacher, of who knows what."

"Bye, Querida." Jesse said as he started eating like he was before I came over.

"Sure, come on." Paul said as we walked to Gryffindor's table and sat across from my friends and brother.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's now Monday and we're at breakfast, once more. The weekend had been fun with Paul around. He trained me a bit more in my shifter powers and we talked about what had changed since I left. Like, what was happening at school. We were sitting together at the Gryffindor table when I said, "I still can't believe Kelly's parents sent her off to a boarding school, and an all girls one at that!"

"Yeah, well, once they heard about her and Debbie's 'nights' with Brad and the other guys in his grade, they got really mad and grounded her. Along with the school move," Paul said, as he had said before. I still couldn't get over the shock.

"What happened to Debbie and Brad though?" I never heard that side of the story.

"Well, Debbie's not aloud to date 'til she's 19, and she has to have one of her parents with her at all times. She also has to tell her parents who she's with and stuff." Paul said which made me laugh. "And Brad?"

"Well, Andy grounded him. He has to quit wrestling. They also cleaned out his room. So, he only has a bed, and a dresser. No TV, stereo, porno magazines and all that." Paul explained.

"P...P...PORNO!" I nearly shrieked. You know, knowing that your brother had porno magazines was tad bit, disturbing.

Just as we were about to talk more Dumbledore stood up, and got every body's attention, "I know that you're all wondering who our new DADA teacher will be. And we've finally found one." Dumbledore continued as many people whispered who they thought it would be. Lots of people wanted it to be Remis Lupin, one of their teachers from a couple years ago, or so I heard

"Paul Slater will be our new DADA teacher." Dumbledore continued talking, while I had on a shocked face, as did Jesse, "He is a muggle, but is a shifter. Like our own Susannah Potter. He was the one that taught her most of her powers, and we thought that he may know a lot about defending. Even though he is the same age as you or older, please treat him with respect as if he were one of your other professors. Paul, please come up here." Dumbledore beckoned to Paul who had stood up.

I guess Paul was a bit nervous, because I heard my own shocked voice say as I nudged Paul, "Come on, go, I don't want to be late for class."

Paul smiled down at me and walked up to Dumbledore and they had their own little greeting. "Hello, I'm glad to have been allowed to be your teacher and I can't wait to get to meet and teach every one of you." Paul said his little greeting to everyone and sat down.

Hm...Maybe Hogwarts' DADA won't be so bad after all.

Or, at least hopefully. Let's just hope Paul teaches better than he did on our first lesson. Now, that was something I will always remember. Well, at least now he doesn't like me like that. Thank god for that.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
