The morning of the first new day of school came fast and strong. As Draco woke up he frowned when he realized that Dawn's side of the bed was cold. Looking around he let a sigh leave his lips as he heard the shower going and got up. Looking at the clock he rubbed his eyes before going to the shower. Leaning against the door framed he watched the body of his girlfriend through the thick fog that had been formed. In his mind Dawn had the perfect form, slime curvy waist well defined legs and large full breast. Thinking about it he gently pulled his own clothes off before joining his girlfriend in the shower.
"Draco!"
An hour later Draco made his way to the Great Hall alone since Dawn would be sitting in her class room preparing herself for her class and calming her nerves. It seemed like her friends were wondering where she was but he noticed that Diana wasn't at the Head Table and so thought that the woman would probably be with Dawn. Sitting down at Slytherin he started to eat.
In her class room, Dawn sat with Diana eating a light breakfast. They were both chatting and Diana was trying to calm Dawn's nerves. Thankfully it was working and when the bell rang she left for her own class and Dawn went to the back of the room, behind the desk and hid in the shadows while her door was open to let the students walk in. One by one the students filtered in and Dawn almost laughed when she noticed that her first class would be what would have been her old class and Slytherins. Draco was looking around, probably trying to find her while Hermione and Ron were looking around worried because she wasn't there. Finally the bell rang and the door closed.
"Oh no, Dawn isn't here yet." Hermione whispered.
"Don't worry Hermione, the Professor isn't here yet so she still has time to make it." He said causing Dawn to chuckle and that caused the students to tense.
"I don't think you have to worry Ron, Hermione. After all I am here already." She commented while blending out of the shadows and walking to the front of the class. Swiftly she jumped on her desk and gave a smirk to the class. "Welcome to your first Charms Class with moi, your new substitute Professor."
"Oh my god!" Hermione exclaimed causing Dawn to laugh softly.
"I suppose you are shocked and I am glad because that was my point. Now let us see, I have gone through Professor Flitwicks class schedule and the Professors schedule before him and come up with a good mix with a bit of my own." She explained cheerfully. "I might add that I ask for your respect in this class and you will have my own respect in return. You are here to learn and as war is surrounding us I will push as much information into your minds as I can. You understand that Charms can save you in life, it has in mine. Now are there any questions you have for me?"
With that asked a group of hands rose into the air and so Dawn pointed to Daphne.
"How can you be teaching us when you are our age. I thought a Professor had to at least have a Charms Mastery to teach Charms?" She asked.
"I'm glad you asked because it means you care for a good educations yet I can guarantee you that I do have a Charms Mastery." Dawn said before pointing to her crest dangling just above the cries of her breast.
"wow." Dean whispered and Dawn shot him a smirk.
"Um Professor, what will you be teaching us?" Neville asked.
"Simple, things that will help you against Voldemort and his Death Eaters or at least defend yourself against them until back up arrives." She answered causing the group to nod and so with that she started her lessons.
Thankfully by the end of the class things had gone well and she handed out homework. She had given the same amount of points to both houses and they both seemed very happy. At last they left and she got ready for her next class. Thankfully her next class went just as good and when lunch arrived she decided to make her way to the Great Hall and eat at the Staff table like the Headmaster had requested. When she arrived it seemed like news had spread fast and students watched her as she walked to the staff table and sat between the Head of Gryffindor and her godfather.
"Um, sometimes you shock us Dawn, I didn't know you were teaching Charms." Sirius remarked causing her to smirk.
"Us Potters are filled with surprises aren't we." She answered causing him to chuckle.
"How did it go Dawn?" Minerva asked and Dawn gave her a smile.
"They remind me of the students I had in the past." She answered causing the woman to smile.
"You only have taught during war time, students during war and students during peace are different then each other." Minerva remarked causing Dawn to smile sadly.
"I would expect that. They worry for their families, they were for their friends. It's normal for them to be different and it also fulls them to learn so that they will be able to protect there precious people." Dawn remarked and Minerva gave a nod of agreement.
"So Dawn why did you agree to teach Charms?" Remus asked.
"Simple, I love Charms. I taught when I was in the past and I grew to love it." She answered causing Remus to smile.
"Not only that but students loved her. Crystal, the Charms Professor of the time wanted Dawn here to take her place as Professor of Charms when she retired. That never happened because Dawn returned to our time and so Filius became the teacher." Minerva stated causing Dawn to smile softly yet they could also see the sadness in her eyes.
The rest of lunch went well and then classes started.
Draco walked down to his next class. He had Potions, and even though most thought he would be with Snape he had refused and decided to go to Slughorn. His Head of House didn't know yet but Draco didn't really care. Not only that but Professor Slughorn, even though a member of the Order of the Phoenix, had not been at the last Order Meeting and had yet to know of their return because he had been busy working an a very hard potion he had to supervise at all time. Arriving in the classroom Draco gave a smile as he noticed the man looked at his papers. Approaching the desk he waited to be acknowledged. At last the Professor looked up and gave him a confused look.
"Hello Professor, I'm your new students. I don't think the Headmaster informed you that I have returned." He said causing the man to look at him curiously. "My name is Draco, Draco Malfoy but as you are a member of the Order of the Phoenix I can inform you that I used to be Orion Evans."
Of course that had its affect and the old Professor gaped at him in shock causing Draco to smile.
"It's good to see you again Professor. You shouldn't be worried though everybody else was shocked as well. We didn't tell anybody about our time travel statue because we didn't need people demanding about the future." Draco explained yet the man caught the we.
"We?" He asked.
"Oh Dawn Potter used to be Harry Potter. She's teaching Charms at the moment." He answered and that caused the man to sputter in shock.
"This is – unexpected my boy. May I ask why you aren't being taught by Severus as I'm sure your grades are more then enough to enter his class." He asked causing Draco to smirk.
"Simple Professor, I wanted to be in your class." he answered causing the man to smile brightly.
The man was clearly happy to have him in class and it showed in class. Students seemed to notice that their Professor had taken a liking on him yet he didn't care. It was good to be doing potions again.
That night, after dinner both Draco and Dawn found themselves on the Astronomy tower like they had so many nights in their past. They both just sat together looking up at the clouds. They each wore a thick winter cloak since it was cold outside, something they were not used to because it had been spring when they had left the past. Suddenly though Remus came running in causing both of them to worry.
"The Headmaster has asked for the both of you to join us at the Entrance Hall. Unknown people are approaching, vampires." He panted causing Dawn's eyes to widen.
"What clan?" She asked.
"Albus thinks it's the Lord of London." He answered and hurriedly Dawn jumped from the tower with Draco and they raced from the Astronomy tower.
It didn't take them long to get to the Entrance hall and Dawn swiftly made sure she looked presentable. She made sure that her Vampire pendant was out to see and that caused many of the staff to look at her in shock. Swiftly she approached the front and stood tall and proud. She ignored the stairs from the staff and looked up at the sky. Even though it was night time, the figures flying towards Hogwarts were clear. There were three figures and they were fast and approaching. At last they landed and Dawn waited. At last the three vampires approached and Dawn found that they were both wearing cloaks that they soon dropped. In the centre of the trio though was not the Lord of London but a young woman with long black hair, sharp eyes and blood red lips. Her skin was pale especially with the moon light shining down on her. The woman was clearly the leader of the group as she was in the centre. On each of her sides were two worrier like vampires. One man and one woman. The woman had her hair in a high ponytail while the man had his in a low ponytail. Their armour was not heavy but it was for the best because the vampires depended on their speed to avoid attacks. Gently Dawn pushed some magic into the pendant around her neck causing her to glow. There was a gasp as the woman in the centre stepped forward and Dawn was slightly taken aback. She recognized this woman even though the last time she had seen her had been in the past when she was a child.
"Lady Crimson." Dawn whispered.
"Dawn Potter." Crimson murmured before she suddenly hugged Dawn who hugged her back.
"Merlin, you've grown." Dawn laughed causing the woman to laugh softly.
"I have yet you have not changed." Crimson remarked.
"It is a long story that I will gladly explain but why are you hear and where is your father?" Dawn asked worried.
"I have come to give you my aid. Voldemort and his Death Eaters attacked my clan. My father was killed and so I am now Lady of England." Crimson answered her causing Dawn's eyes to grow sad yet angry at the same time.
"Lady of England I give you my condolences but may I ask how you have come to know my Charms Professor?" The Headmaster questioned causing Dawn and Crimson to smile.
"You may call me Lady Crimson Headmaster of Hogwarts, as for how we have met it is simple. During a battle we met. It was during one of my lessons and I found myself there. She tackled me into a trench just before a bomb hit and we were knocked out. We were found by members of my clan and brought to my home." Crimson answered and Dawn gave a smile.
"It was that time that Professor Crystal was worried sick about me." Dawn answered causing the Headmaster to chuckle.
"My dear I'm afraid that there were plenty of times Crystal was worried about you." He said causing Dawn to blush crimson.
"Well anyway, why don't we let them in Headmaster." Dawn said and the Headmaster gave a nod before leading them inside and sending some of his Professors back to their chambers.
The Headmaster lead them to the Great Hall were they had the round table appeared and soon they all sat down. Since it wasn't as big an order as before the table was able to shrink in size so that people weren't so far away from each other.
"Now Lady Crimson, you said you wanted to aid the Order?" Dawn asked.
"Yes, and Dawn you can call me Crimson, you are a friend of my clan." Crimson stated causing Dawn to smile. "My clan wish to help you fight Voldemort for he had cross our path. I also remember my father saying that if you were to ever need our help that we would be there for the Order of the Phoenix."
"Then why were you not there during the last battle or the first war with Voldemort?" Professor McGonagall asked curiously.
"Because we were never contacted. The only way Dawn can contact us is by her pendant because you did not have that pendant we did not know you needed our aid." Crimson answered.
"I would be honoured to have you help the Order but I must asked the Headmaster if he is comfortable." Dawn stated and the Headmaster gave a gentle smile.
"I am, we need the allies we can gather and this can show that not all vampires want to be part of Voldemort's group." He said causing Dawn to smile brightly.
"Then Crimson, welcome to the Order of the Phoenix." Dawn agreed causing the woman to smile.
"I am grateful Dawn, when ever you need our aid, contact and we will gather as much information as we can. I have two specialist in that field." Crimson stated and Dawn gave a nod.
"We should be heading back my Lady." The woman whispered.
"Thank you Nexis." Crimson stated and Dawn gave her a smile.
"I will walk you out. You're clan must be stressed." Dawn suggested.
"I'm afraid after the attack on the manor and the death of my father there were things of worry but I do have information pertaining the war." Crimson said causing everybody to listen carefully.
"Before Voldemort attacked I did have one of my men spy on his group encase you were to call us for aid. We learned a few things most members could not. Voldemort is planning a series of multiple attacks. Each hitting important places. Ministry of Magic, St. Mungos, Hogwarts, and Hogsmead at the same time. Yet his real goal isn't any of those places but Grindelwald." Crimson stated causing Dawn's eyes to widen.
"He's going after his old master for some reason." She murmured thoughtfully.
"I was thinking that as well yet the man has not said anything else about it." Crimson stated causing Dawn to sigh.
"Thank you Crimson, this will be able to let us prepare. I will contact you when we have a date for the next Order meeting. Um actually Crimson are your people good trackers of locators?" She asked.
"I have one or two that are very good why?" Crimson asked.
"We've been searching for a few people but I can tell you the rest when I lead you to the door. It's nothing the others don't know." Dawn said and Crimson agreed before they rose.
They all bid goodnight before Dawn lead her friend to the Entrance Hall.
"So who do you wish for me to find?" Crimson asked softly.
"My old Professors. Professor Crystal and Storm. Also perhaps see if Nicolas and Perenelle Flamel are actually dead and my grandfather Harold Potter." She said and Crimson gave a nod.
"We will do our best." She agreed causing Dawn to smile softly.
"Thank you Crimson and I am so happy to see you again even though I wish it was with better news. I know you will make your father proud in leading your clan." Dawn said.
"Thank you Dawn and I await the time we speak more." Crimson said before with a finally hug the three vampires left leaving Dawn alone in the entrance hall.
...
Dawn let a sigh leave her lips as she started to correct homework. She was currently working in her office when there was a knock there. Looking up she sat back and allowed them to enter. She smiled as she found Hermione and Ron walk in and told them to sit down.
"What can I do for you guys?" She asked softly.
"Well you've been working so hard we thought we could distract you slightly to talk. We haven't really spoken to each other in a while and well -" She said causing Dawn to smile.
"Alright come on, let's sit on the sofa." She agreed and lead them over. They all sat down and Dawn relaxed quite a bit.
"So Dawn what was the past like?" Hermione asked.
"The past was hard and different. Gryffindor and Slytherin did not have as much as a rivalry as they used to have during the past few years of this time. Not only that but war was harder. We were not only fighting Grindelwald but we were also fighting Hitler. It was horrible what we saw and what we went through." Dawn whispered.
"Dawn would it be okay if we asked you about the finale battle?" Ron asked and Dawn gave a sigh.
"You want to hear about it?" She asked them and they gave nods.
"Then I will tell you about it but you have to know, war is not a pretty site. It is dangerous and sickening. The battle against Grindelwald was even worse because it was a combined battle between wizards and muggles." She said causing her two friends eyes to widen.
For a moment she said nothing but then she waived her hand and enlarged the couch while ignoring the wide eyes she got from her friends she gathered blankets and pillows and passed it to them. They made themselves comfortable and she started her tale.
"The war against Grindelwald was not a nice sight. Draco and I knew that I could not fight Grindelwald because Dumbledore was known as his defeater. Instead I decided to to fight the main forces. Draco and I stayed together because we were better together. We fight as a team. During battle we picked up two muggle guns just encase. The weather was horrible, it was raining and thunder was booming over head. At last Draco and I arrived at the building where the battle was taken place. This building was a testing facility. The sight we found was horrible and I don't think I will..." She said but was stopped by the two teens.
"No we want to know, we need to know what happened." Hermione cried and Dawn looked at them for a moment before letting a sigh leave her lips.
"Children, they were experimenting with children. Mostly Jewish children because Hitler was trying to eliminate the Jewish people. We were able to find and save some children and we learned the scientist were kidnapped and forced to do such things to the children. Some were at least. We had to use our guns on some occasions. But just as we were going for another set of children the building started to go on alert. It was going to self destruct We had to hurry and get the children out. Thankfully we did but on the way there we got shot at and Draco and I had to stay behind to cover the children. After that we hurried off as we were in the last seconds. As we hurried we say two children falling to the ground and shouted for them to continue. We grabbed the a child each and continued to run. As the last second came we had no choice but to throw the children with hopes that they would make it. Thankfully they did but we were caught in the explosion. That's why we returned to bantered and bruised." Dawn told them.
"What sort of experiments were done?" Hermione asked fearfully yet Dawn shook her head. She would not tell them that.
For a few minutes everything was silent until Ron spoke again.
"So how does it feel teaching?" He asked causing a smile to form on her lips.
"It's great. I used to teach when I was in the past. I didn't teach all the time but as I was in my sixth year it was okay. Teaching is different, everybody has a style and a way to teach. Some are better then others both some just don't want to admit it." Dawn answered causing the two teens to smile.
"What will happen when Flitwick returns?" Dawn asked.
"Simple, I return to my education. I need to do my seventh year after all." She answered with a soft laugh that caused both teen to smile softly. "Hermione, Ron I have something to ask of you."
"What is it?" Hermione asked.
"Nobody had been informed of this and you can't tell anybody else. We have been informed of a possible attack on multiple places. Voldemort is planning to attack the Ministry, Hogwarts, St. Mungos and Hogsmead. When the attack starts I want you to be in Gryffindor Common room holding down the fort there so that everybody is calm. I understand you want to fight but you can do better by calming the younger years." She told them causing their eyes to widen.
"We will." They agreed even though Dawn could see that they were not to pleased to not help with the battle.
"I thank you. I do not want to lose you both to the war. I would worry far to much with the both of you on the battle field because you two are my best friends." She said causing them to smile. It was good to now that although their friend had spent so much time in the past it hadn't affected their friendship. "I missed you guys terribly when I was in the past. I thought about you all the time and somewhere in my heart I just knew that you both were safe and sound."
But before she could continue to speak Sirius ran into her office panting.
"It's begun!"
Jumping to her feet Dawn turned to Hermione and Ron who gave nods before leaving for the dorm. Hurriedly she went to her wardrobe and changed into her armour. She would not be fighting here at Hogwarts, no Draco would be she would be going with Dumbledore to fight Voldemort and stop him from getting Grindelwald. Crimson would be with them as well. In seconds she was dressed and her hair was in a high ponytail out of her face. Turning to Sirius she found him looking at her in worry and gave him a smile.
"Be safe Sirius, I don't want to bury my godfather just yet." she said.
"Same to you, you're to young to die." He said causing her to laugh.
"I won't Sirius I promise." She agreed and with that they left.
