A/N. I think this may be the longest chapter!!!! I don't think it'll be too long (that's just to reassure you people who hate long chapters)!!! Oh, and sorry Griff, I hate H/H's!!!!!!! Enjoy!!!!:}
'What do you mean keep an eye on me!' he said angrily, turning to face her 'I'm not a kid who needs baby sitting, you know!' He turned away and started to walk down the corridor.
Her keep an eye on him? What did Dumbledore think he was playing at?
Just as he had expected, she followed him. She soon caught up and stood defiantly in front of him, hands on hips. He had expected her to yell at him but instead she took on a softer tone.
'That came out wrong. I'm enrolling as a student, you know undercover. No one except you and the teachers are going to know I'm an Auror. I'm pretending to have had home tutoring. I'm doing this because I have to keep you out of danger. Harry, try to understand, I'm not babysitting you or anything. If you really have a problem with me tagging along you can take it up with Dumbledore!' she finished, looking slightly hurt.
'No of course net! So you really are an Auror!' he asked, once again changing tack..
'Sure am!' she replied, putting her usual grin back on. 'I was trained by the one and only Mad-Eye Moody himself. CONSTANT VIGILANCE!' she yelled suddenly taking Harry by surprise.
'Great impression,' he said with sarcasm. Then he was reminded of something. 'Who's going to be the new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher this year, do you know?'
'Sure do,' she said 'Remus Lupin and his faithful dog, Snuffles!'
Harry blinked a few times before realizing what he had just said.
'Y...you know about Sirius?' he asked her, bemused.
'Of course I do! If I'm going to be hanging round you lot I'm going to find out any way. I'm pretty sharp y'know! Dumbledore told me.'
'Hang on...Lupin...he resigned because everyone found out he was a...'
Here Harry stopped, wondering if she knew.
'...a werewolf?' she finished, helpfully. 'You see Dumbledore couldn't get anyone else. People are now convinced the job is jinxed. Remus was begging at the chance for his old job back so Dumbledore pulled a few strings...'
Harry could guess that those strings were probably tied to Snape.
'I'm glad Lupin is back!' he said with relief that the new DADA teacher wasn't someone out to kill him. 'But isn't it a bit risky with Sirius?' Harry remembered suddenly.
'That's what I said but Sirius wants to be near you. His exact words were, as he was pacing our house; If Harry's anything like his father you can guarantee he'll be in trouble before the years up!
Harry laughed, knowing this statement was probably true!
They were walking along the Charms corridor now, so involved in their talk that they didn't notice when they nearly crashed into someone...
'Watch where you're going!' snapped Snape, appearing from a classroom so suddenly it was if he had apparated. They stopped so they didn't walk into him. Harry saw the familiar look of loathing touch Snape's eyes as he looked at them, and realized that he wasn't the only one around here who wasn't in Snape's good books.
Jenny's eyes suddenly gleamed with mischief and she stepped forward.
'Hullo Severus!' she said cheerfully, ignoring the look of annoyance she received that every teacher seemed to have around her.
'Guess what? You might be teaching me and Harry Potions in the same class, aren't you the lucky one?'
Snape groaned and swept passed them down the corridor.
'Minerva's looking for you, by the way,' Jenny yelled after him 'You overgrown turd! She added in an under tone. She laughed seeing the look on Harry's face.
'He hates me too, but then again all the teachers hate me! I've known most of them since I could walk or since I was born, in Minerva's case. She plays a mean game of chess. I guess you could call them my second family!'
' So while you're at Hogwarts you've got to remember to call them by their second name and be polite?'
Yes...well to the first bit anyway!' she replied, her eyes twinkling.
'What's that supposed to mean?' he said, teasingly.
'You don't expect me to be nice to them, do you?'
Harry laughed then stopped abruptly, standing face to face with Professor Dumbledore.
'Ah, there you two are, I was looking for you. You will both be sleeping in the Gryffindor common room. Well, that is until school starts.' he finished, turning to Jenny.
'And what is that supposed to mean?' she said, laughing 'You don't think that reached hat's going to put me in Slytherin do you?'
'You never know,' said Dumbledore, smiling 'I will be sending your meals straight up to the common room so you two can get aquatinted. Have you explained the situation to Harry, Jenny?'
'Yes' came the reply
Dumbledore had just turned down the corridor when Harry called out;
'Sir, do the Dursleys' know where I am? Not that I'd expect they'd worry much but they'd probably want to know why I'm not at...er...'home''
'Yes, your aunt and uncle have been informed of the situation.' said Dumbledore, turning round briefly.
'I wonder how he managed that?' murmured Harry as Dumbledore turned to go back down the corridor.
'We'd better get to the Gryffindor common room,' said Jenny, spinning round.
'So do you know Hogwarts quite well?' asked Harry
' Quite well!' she exclaimed 'Of course I do! It's like my second home!'
They both started walking down the many corridors to the Gryffindor common room.
'Are Lupin and Sirius here already then? Harry asked, hopefully
He was dying to see his godfather again, and Lupin too. They were the only two people left who had really been close to his parents and, seeing as he didn't know much about them, he wanted to ask them quite a few questions.
'No, sorry. It's just Severus, Minerva, Poppy and of course Dumbledore who are here. The others come in a couple of days before school starts. We've got the castle pretty much to ourselves, well, except Snape trying to make our lives Hell but I think we can deal with him. Beaky.'
Harry looked at her oddly.
'It's the password' she said laughing, as the Fat Lady swung open.
'You're here early, aren't you? I didn't think school had started yet!' said the Fat Lady, nosily
'Mind your own!' said Jenny, slamming the portrait shut.
Harry thought he heard the painting mutter something about rude teenagers before he turned to look at the familiar sight of the common room. It was just the same as it had always been, the thought was comforting somehow.
They both climbed the staircase to the boy's dormitory. Harry sat down on his own bed and Jenny sat down on Ron's bed, opposite./
'I think I'm sleeping in here until school starts,' she said
'OK,' replied Harry, trying to sound casual as he started to pray silently that nothing embarrassing would happen.
They heard the portrait door open, that is they heard the Fat Lady grumbling, and they went to find out who it was. Professor McGonagall was standing there with her arms crossed, obviously looking for them.
'Ah, there you are,' she said crisply, when she had spotted them.
'Jenny, Professor Dumbledore would like to see you please. Your lunch will be sent up at one.'
The rest of the day went passed fairly quickly. He found that all his things were in his room including Hedwig, who looked annoyed at finding her master had disappeared in the middle of the night.
He sent an owl to Ron and Hermione to tell them where he was and about Jenny.
That night he lay in bed, listening to the regular breathing of Jenny, opposite.
An Auror? At fifteen? Wow, she must be good. She also must know a lot about him as well. Harry's cheeks flushed at the thought of some of the things Dumbledore might have told her. He wouldn't, would he?
Harry was really starting to like her. He was getting on quite well with her already. No, more than that, he was really starting to get on with her. Harry knew Ron would too, she was his type of person not to mention exceptionally pretty with maybe even a small piece of Veela in her. The only person he was worrying about was Hermione. Jenny was bound to be cleverer than her, being and Auror at fifteen! He couldn't exactly see Jenny as someone who would work seeing as she knew how to do everything all ready. Oh well, Harry thought, I'm sure it will be ok!
Harry heard Jenny murmur something in her sleep before drifting off to sleep himself.
