"Maybe it's because you'll never feel the same about me" said the mysterious man as he started to walk away.
"But I do! I have always loved you, couldn't you see that?" cried the girl as she broke down into tears, and silently whispered "couldn't you see?"
"Ellie"
But she didn't look up; not realizing someone was calling her.
"Ellie?" came
the voice of the man again. As she looked up she saw who it
was. "Charlie!" she screams excitedly jumping up and
hugging him.
"Oh… okay" she said slowly letting go of him and sitting back down, so it was a dream?
"Right… well I'm going go change before we arrive" he said as he walked out of the compartment.
Ellie sat there for a moment just looking out the window. "hmm… what a weird dream."
"A dream huh? What was it about?" came Charlie's voice from door.
"Nothing" she said defensively
"Well it had to be something" he replied
"It was something and nothing all that the same time" said Ellie as the train rolling into the Hogmade station.
"Well common we should go get the first Carriage so we are there before all the students start arriving" he said walking out the door again.
"Oh Charlie, if only you knew what you were doing to me" she whispered as he left.
-----------------------------------Great hall-----------------------------------------
"Ah, Mr. Weasley and Ms. Malfoy its good to see you, I hope you both had a pleasant trip." said the headmaster as the two entered the Hall.
"Yes" came they're reply unanimously.
"That is good to hear. Now as for your seats, Michel you shall sit besides Severus and Charlie you can take the seat on the other side of her" explained Dumbledore.
Just as they took their seats, the students started piling in to the Hall. Once the headmaster was sure everyone one was in and there were no more carriages coming to the gate, he sent Professor McGonagall to bring in the first year and start sorting.
"Ugh, Now I remembered why I hated the first night back" whispered Michele just as the second person was sorted into Hufflepuff.
Professor Snape chuckled and replied "It there has only been two people sorted so far"
"You don't think I know that? I starving, the first years are depriving me of food" she said a little louder then she thought, as now everyone was staring, and to her right Charlie was trying to hold in his laughter. "Oh, uhm sorry… carry on."
As soon as the sorting was over, Dumbledore got up to make his speech. "Now I must remind you all, that the forbidden forest is indeed forbidden , and I know you all would like to start the feast" as he said this he turned towards Ellie and chuckled "But I would like to take this time to introduce two new professors that have joined our staff this year, Mister Charlie Weasley will be taking the place of Care of Magical Creature while Professor Hagrid is away, and our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher Ms. Michele Malfoy" when the Hall heard the name Malfoy everyone besides the Slytherin table (who were looking rather pleased about the news) started whispering. "Silence please to not judge someone for their last name and beside I am sure it you will find yourselves liking Professor Malfoy's personality, but now lets just Dig in"
Finally the food appeared at the table and Ellie started to fill up her plate, both Severus and Charlie were looking at her as if she had two heads, "Where you to think she puts it all" Charlie asked the Potions master.
"God only knows Weasley, god only knows" he replied.
"Uhm, I am right here you know, in the middle?" said Ellie just before she stuffed her mouth again.
"I am surprised you can even hear us the way you're eating" Snape stated.
Ellie turned and glared at him "You know, you may have been my favourite teacher when I was going Hogwarts, but I'm honestly rethinking my decision"
"Ah, but you can't hate me, I am after all your godfather" he replied while smirking at her.
"Godfather or not, Professor McGonagall, seems like an exceptional teacher to be my favourite, don't you think" said Ellie, before calling down the head table "Oh Professor McGonagall, how would you like it if I told you, you are my favourite teacher here?"
"If I didn't know any better I would say I would be delighted, but you are just saying that to annoy Severus so what ever he just said or did, please just get over it" came her reply.
"Well then" Ellie said just as the feast disappeared from the table.
"And now before all of you go to your common rooms I would like to announce the presence of one Deloris Umbrigde from the ministry, she is here to assess the teacher's in their classrooms" just as the headmaster was about to finish his speech he was interrupted by the frog like lady dressed in pink.
"Ahem"
Albus turned around and looked at her and continued talking "As I was saying –
"AHEM" interrupted woman again.
"Deloris, you don't sound to good, maybe you should get Madam Promfry to take a look at that, or at least suck on a hard candy"
"Oh no Albus, that won't be necessary, I would just like to say something…"
As Umbrigde was talking, Ellie spent most of the time just gawking at her trying to remember what she looked like in her mind, then it hit her.
"She looks like someone dumped a horribly made love potion on her" Ellie said to no one it particular.
As soon as she said that her end of the staff table started laughing, causing both Umbrigde and the rest of the school to look their way.
"Is there anything else you would like to say Deloris?" asked Dumbledore as she turned around to take a sit again she shuck her head and he continued "since Deloris explained why, she was here all I have to say is you are free to go to your dormitories I ask that the first years follow their prefects and they will show you where to go, goodnight everyone."
