disclaimer:I do not own Harry Potter

A/n I was so glad to see i got two More reviews. 8 is now an all time High for me. Zee can be a bit Vulgar and downright nasty but also funny. As for Ginny and Dean well yes. Dean is being a 2 faced with Ginny he does not want her to see his ugly side because of course Ginny would hex him and leave him. However she is not seeing that just yet or maybe she does not want to see it. Anyways here is the next chapter enjoy

It was 5 am in the morning the sun was not even up yet. Harry and Ron went outside the Castle and were told to wait for Zee by the Lake. Ron's eyes were still closed as he started scratching them. "Who in there right mind wakes up this early.... the sun is not even up yet. that tells you that it is unnatural to be training this ruddy early" Harry did not say anything but he could agree to that as he was no fan of being an early riser himself. Zee came down and met them by the lake.

"Ahh a nice brisk Morning for a hardcore work out. Don't you love the feeling just breath in that cold air"

"Why did we have to do this so early in the morning again?"

"Well Ron there is no better time to work out. Your body gains more when you work out in the morning then any other time of the exercise can increase your metabolism for the entire performing a fast paced morning workout, your metabolism gets the boost it needs to run at full capacity for the remainder of the day. You may end up burning more calories for the day if you do an early morning workout."

"Can't we just do it at night and say we did it in the morning"

"Ok we are going to start with a Lap around this entire lake i figure that is a good way to begin for the first week"

"The entire lake?! That's got to be 14km"

"Which is why we best do it now cause after the run we have Martial Arts training as well COME ON!"

With that they took off. Harry was in pretty good physical shape. Running every morning for the past 3 months had done that to him. He would run as much as he could in an hour or two and then come back home and do push ups and pull ups on his door frame. The 3 months of worked out payed off and prepared him for what he had faced this morning. The Run was a a 14 km run extremely fast paced around the lake. Would have been faster but they had to lag behind for Ron case.

After the run they began matrial arts training. Zee walked around them and explained.

"This is going to teach you strength and discipline. Trust me in the end it will pay off..now lets start with some body hardening first"

The past hour they did martial arts training when they were done they showered and made there way to breakfast. They met up with Hermione and Ginny. "Well you two look.... well you've looked better in the morning that's for sure"

Both Harry and Ron slumped at the table with Zee. "It was there first day. Ron decided he wanted to join in on the training. I think he's regretting it a Little."

"I need coffee...covered in tea and chocalate and caffine battered coffee... and then I want to sleep..."

"Ron you mean you were actually up at 5 this morning? That's definitely the earliest you have ever woken up. I mean sure you wake up for class but at home your in bed till 11."

"Need sleep.."

"Well you won't be able to we have history of magic at 8." Said Hermione as she put a piece of toast on her plate.

"Oh good ill sleep then"

"Ron!"

Zee took that time to take Hermione's piece of toast. "Hey that was mine"

"But there's no more..and I really need the toast for my jelly....pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease"

Hermione rolled her eyes "Ok fine just ask next time it is rude to take food off someones plate."

Just then the morning post flew in and Hermione opened it. "You guys there was an attack outside Dublin last night..." they looked at the article. "Says that no one was killed but some are critical most of the village was destroyed in the battle between the deatheaters and the aurors. Says the attack might have been targeted for Kingsleys daughter who lives in the village. It says she was Unharmed. Voldemort was there in person. 10 deatheaters were caught. Another 5 killed."

Zee smiled "Look at that! I thank you very much. I knew Moldieshorts would jump the gun and try and do something stupid. And there you go." Zee grabbed several pieces of bacon as a reward. "Its going to cause me to shit later but it will be a long prideful shit Now all i need is the NY Post sports section I am going to look foward to that "

"You proud of this? Many are in the hospital. Homes have been destroyed. And your gloating around"

" You know what i miss from New York they Don't have bagels here. I mean this one place in Brooklyn is to die for"

"You don't even care that you caused all of this"

"You get an everything bagel and with bacon and herb creamcheese. Oh I just cream my pants thinking about that Yum... Why don't they make good bagels in Scotland?"

"ZEE!" Hermione screamed out

"Oh my god Hermione. You always look at things so one sided. Voldemort jumped the gun. He made an attack he was not ready for. And hence he lost 15 men his attack failed. Stop being a glass is half empty type of gal"

"You caused this though with what you said yesterday you caused him to go out. Now people are in the hospital and homes are destroyed!"

"Yes I know that. It is called collateral damage. While regretful, it is also inevitable and sometimes necessary. It happens in war. Better to get used to it now then have to be all taken a back by it. Besides No one died so hence I think it worked out perfectly"

"Your a cold heartless bastard you know that?"

Zee was visibly annoyed with her now. He had explained this to them many times however she would not get it. She refused too. "You need to take the blind fold off your eyes and wake up and smell the coffee! Or tea. Whatever your Brits freakin drink. This is war. This is what it brings no matter what you do. Not matter how hard you try your going to have
casualties. Its inevitable. I just turned the tides a bit in this war sister. Now not only is he pissed off he's lost a battle. The momentum shifts. And as for me being a cold heartless bastard. What do you know? I don't need to be lectured by you. I've fought in wars all over the globe. From the crusades to the franko prussian wars. The revaltionary war. War of
1812. World War 2. I have seen it all. And guess what... there is no black and white. In war. Just red. The color of blood. What I have seen you wouldn't be able to handle. None of you would."

He chuckled thinking of some of the many experiences he had gone through.

"I know you all view me as this cold heartless butcher. But seriously you need to open your fucking eyes. Because when that moment comes you better pray you can take a life. Because if not its your ass. And those you love are the ones who will pay the consequences. Because your in the shit now. Your in deep. You think that little scuffle you had last year counts as war? That's just the tip of the ice berg. Harry when you have Voldemort down on the ground begging for mercy are you going to kill him? Or will you show mercy. And don't give me that o I'll be just as bad as him bullshit teenage angst. Because mercy and compassion in war... gets you and your men....your friends.... your family killed trust me I know. Why show mercy for.... when your going up against an enemy that has never heard of the word.... they rape women torture children if front of there husbands before they kill them? And you want to show that Mercy."

Zee then got up and shook his head. "What annoys me the most is this is not the first time I have talked about this and it will not be the last... But why listen to me. I'm just fucking cold hearted killer. What would I know about life. I've only lived 300 of them."

Zee walked out of the great hall leaving Harry and the gang in his wake. Hermione looked down while they were all silent.

"Maybe he's right." Harry said as he was the first one to speak after a few minuites. "Maybe we are being naive."

"All I know is he was pretty deep with what he said" Ron poured himself some coffee. "I should apologise to him...I shouldn't have said that to him." Hermione got up and went to go find zee. Ginny scooted down to get closer to Harry.

"So Harry you giving anythought as too when Quiddict tryouts are?"

"Haven't had time to think about it so far.... my best guess would be next Friday probably."

"Ok good cause I plan on showing up and stealing your seeker position"

Harry chuckled "As if you have a chance against me. I'm normally not cocky...but for this occasion I will be. Like my father I am a Quiddict god" and I also have a thing for red heads he to himself.

Ginny smirked. "Well as much as I would like to stay and chat I promised Dean I'd meet him before he heads to his next class.. But how about you and I play a game of chess later in the commonroom. Practise to beat sleeping beauty over here."

Ron was bobbing his head as he was trying to keep his eyes open. "All right its a date" Ginny smiled then left.

"Ron wake up we need to head to class in 15."

Hermione had found Zee leaning against a wall in front of the history class. "Look Zee I'm sorry about what I said earlier." "Its OK you were just stating your opinion"

"No I was wrong your not a cold heartless bastard"

"But I am in someways i suppose. I'm not regretful about it either. Its saved a lot of lives a lot of friends over the years I do not show mercy to anyone who does not deserve it... but look. There is going to be a time when your faced in a dire situation. You'll be staring death in the face. Will you be able to kill then? Its either you or them. You can't regret. You can't show mercy. The second you do.... well Ron will be heartbroken for the rest of his life." Hermione looked up at him and just nodded. Would she be able to kill when the opportunity came?

Harry and Ron followed into the class and sat down near Zee and Hermionie. History of magic was by far everyones least favoorite class. Formally tought by professor Binns the class was more boring then watching to old timers sitting in the park feeding pigions. "Why oh why did this class have to be givin so damn early in the mornign for? Doesn't professor Dumbledore know how boring this class is? Why bother taking it"

"Because its could to know your history and where you came from. Please try and have a little more sense of pride about being a wizard Ron"

"There's nothing wrong with history. It what makes us who we are.... I mean just ask me. I'm living proof of history... yes I am the best there ever was. The best there ever is. And the best there ever will be oh my god she's fucking hot!"

The history teacher came in. She had light brown hair and striking green eyes she couldn't be older then 21 she looked like she was a student herself. She walked in front of the class and all the males in the class immediately.

"She must be a veela she has to be" said Ron who no longer looked tired and groggy.

She walked to the front of the class and smiled she then spoke with a slight Greek accent "Good morning class... well no not really good would have been much later in the day. Believe me I don't like the early time anymore then you do. But I did not make the schedule that was Dumbledore. But I digress my name is professor Helen Athenas. I went to Beauboxtons for my schooling I was born and raised in Greece. I'm sorry I could not join you all for the feast yesterday but I was told about the opening of this post just 2 days ago. Anyways that enough about me I hope to get to know all of you over the next few weeks.....now onto
class."


After class Harry and the gang prepared to head to double potions next.

"Hey guys ill meet you at potions I'm umm going to stay behind and chat with the Professor."

"Zee you cannot possibly think of flirting with her. She's a teacher you are a student."

"Not flirt with her just talk to her.... its not often I ever get to meet someone who is a major Greek mythology buff... I'm enticed. I won't do anything I'd be ashamed of the next morning I promise... at least not yet"

"Ok just try not to be late for potions. I'd hate to see what Snape would do to you"

"Please what's that greaseball going to do to me except give me detention that I won't go to half of the time."

"Mate you are truly my hero" Zee couldn't help but chuckle at Rons statement.

They left for class and Zee approached his history teacher. "So how do you think I did for my first day considering its so early in the morning to be teaching history. Mr... "

"Bauer...Zee Bauer"

"Mr Zee Bauer and what would the Zee stand for?"

"Zeeeeeeeeeee... I don't really like my Full name. My father was a bastard so I don't want to use the name he gave me."

"Understandable...I noticed in class today you were quite well apprised in Greek mythology. I wouldn't expect that from a bunch of teenage witches and wizards I figured I was the only one"

"Well Greek mythology has always fascinated me I probably know more then I should. Like your name for instance. Helen Athenas... named after to of Greece's most beautiful women in history"

"Mythological Mr Bauer remember that"

"Mythology is history. And history is mythology. At least that's my firm believe in it all. Anyway I really hope you teach more of iot this semester as I said. Always fascinates me"

"Well Mr Bauer I shall take that undersonsideration... but if you excuse me I need to get ready to teach a bunch of first years now... something tells me they won't stay awake
like the 4th 5th and 6th years yet. I don't think they begun to notice girls yet"

Zee chuckled. "Good luck with that one professor. Look forward to seeing you in class tomorrow bright and early"

With that Zee left. "Hot sense of humor and a major in Greek mythology. Did I mention hot. Well... too bad I am just a student... dammit I'm 100 times older then her. Oh well off to potions." As soon as Zee walked into the potions class he was colded by Snape

"And now tardyness is added onto the one of many offenses against this school Mr Bauer. You certainly do fill out the perfect portrayal of a typical American Rude arragant unwilling to follow anyschool rules at all. Suprises me they even allow you people to be schooled at all over there. 20 points from Griffindor and you can add on an extra detention onto your 2 weeks."

Zee brought a finger to his eye and ran it down in a mock tear. "My heart is breaking into millions of pieces. I have detention again. My life is over. when will I ever be able to sit on the couch in my underwear have cheese and ice cream for breakfast and go out and get into drunk fights like a typical american now?"

"I thought that was just a myth" Ron whispered in awe and envy

"An extra 20 points for your cheek "

"Again with the self conscious game Yes I know I have a scar on my cheek. God. 30 points to that gothic look. And pale skin. You look like Marylin Manson." Snape fumed while Hermione just covered her face.

"By the end of the year he is going to have us in the negative points" Ron and Harry were chuckling. "Come on Hermine how many points has Snape deducted from Griffindors alone we might as well just enjoy the show"

"Mr Bauer you do not want to cross lines with me because I promise you that the consequences will be dire. You will not win"

"I'm not trying to win anything guy. You don't need to insult me because of I'm late. Here watch this.. You are late for my class detention points. Look at that that took me 5 seconds. Short and too the point you however feel the need to make mention of my tardiness and american cock and bull atitude I mean come on. Do you really need to
insult me? Because I'm just going to do ir right back at ya... Hooknose, Greaseball, Emo Bastard of questionable sexuality"

"ENOUGH! REMOVE YOURSELF FROM MY CLASSROOM AND GO WAIT IN FRONT OF THE HEADMASTERS OFFICE!" Zee shrugged his shoulders and left the classroom.

"Open your books to page 656 and begin wiritng the page word for word when I return I want you all to know how to make drought of the dead. Blindfolded!" Snape left the classroom


Zee sat in the headmasters office while Snape ranted and ranted about his reprehensible behaviour.

"The boy continues to insult me and undermine me in class! His lack of disrespect is despicable. Not only that but twice he as abruptly attacked Mr Malfoy with no warrant or provocation of attack"

"You... don't even know what you are talking about do you"

"He then continues to give me attitude when i try and ask him to take his seat"

"No... Thats another lie... and now you're going to hell"

"DO NOT INTERUPT ME!!!"

Zee tried not to laugh he could not remember a time when he had this much fun getting a rise out of someone. And it was just so easy with him. Professor Dumbledore sighed.

"I want him expelled he shouldn't even be here let him go back to that rathole of a country just please do not keep him here."

"Again with the insults! Would you stop it you pointy nosed greasy headed Marylin Manson look alike asshole!"

Color drew into Snapes face as he looked like at any moment was ready to hex Zee. Dumbledore finally put a stop to it all "this is enough professor Snape. While Mr Bauers actions do warrant expulsion I am afraid we cannot. He is a vital role in the Order of the Phoenix as he is the one to whom the prophesy speaks of"

Snape looked like he was at a loss for words. "You must be joking"

"No Professor I am not. Please go back to attend to your class. I will deal with Mr Bauer"

Snape glared at Zee as he left Zee smiled and waved at him "You certainly do have some characters at this school professor I will tell you that"

"Zechial. When I made the arrangements for you to stay at Hogwarts I asked you to be suttle. So far since you have been here you have been anything but"

"Its hard for me to be suttle when I'm being baited. Remember I may be old and wise but I'm certainly not a pacifist. If I feel I'm being insulted or threatened I'm going to respond in my own way. Which is something that's hard for me to control. I was created to be this way."

"You're going to make this school year exceptionally hard aren't you."

"I'll try my best not too professor. But its one of my character flaws... I can be a bit of an asshole. That's kinda the con of getting me on your team. Great fighter great leader... a bit of an asshole."

Dumbledore sighed and rubbed the bridges of his nose. "I take it this is your Phoenix professor?" Zee walked over to Fawkes and began petting his head.

"What a beauty. I had one way back when.... that was a long time ago"

"phoenixes are very loyal to there bond er."

"That they are... I apologise for any trouble I have caused you. I will try my best to be settle professor."

"Please see that you do. I will have you serve your detentions with Filch. I don't think professor Snape would want to deal with you for 2 weeks."

"Roger that Professor have a good day." With that Zee left the office. Zee walked back into the potions class. Snape just ignored him and continued with lessons. After class it was lunch time as they headed in the great hall "mate did I mention your my hero?"

"Ron don't encourage him. Professor Snape is still a teacher here he needs to show him respect"

"No I don't. To get respect you need to give it. And thus far he's treated me as if I were a low class hooker in times square."

Harry chuckled. "You certainly did get a rise out of him."

Neville came by and sat down near them.

"Zee is it? Neville Longbottom. I just want to thank you. I've been dying for someone to put Snape in his place for years. You are truly a Griffindor." Zee smiled

"See Hermionie you're the only one who seems to think what I did was bad. Did you hear that? A hero... heroes generally get the praise and the babes.... so....there's my praise..... where my babes?"

Zee looked around and Hermionie just let out a grunt

"Your over sized Ego! How did anyone ever live with it!"

"Well there are many things about me that are over sized. One thing in Particular that I tend to get allot of praise for.... and also babes...ironic isn't it"

Hermionie spit out her pumpkin juice while Harry and Ron started laughing.

"And i mean alot of Praise if you know what I mean wink wink hint hint Oh by the way..."

" You- You -You- You're vulgar...and digustign and and-"

"Wow...Ron you were right. I owe you 5 bucks... when she is mad she is gorgeous. I like the way her eyes just Sparkle" Hermione sputtered over her words while Ron's laughter ceased and his eyes just went wide his skin went pale then extremely red.

"R-Ron did you say that?"

Harry and Neville had to look away trying to suppress laughter and the very awkward tension that was filling the room right now. "Umm err I might have...umm I need to go to the poop and ummm take a bathroom"

"I need to freshen up before class" they both walked there separate ways.

"What the hell was that Zee" Harry asked chuckling bit at the same time glaring at him.

"Those two are ready to trounce on each other. Might as speed up the process a bit. Plus I find it amusing... it enterains me. Give me a break I have no cable TV here. And I get Hermione leftover soup. So score another point for the good guys. This day rocks!"

a/n there it is please read and review
