Year Sorrows Part 6
Harry went back to staring at the window. He knew Ron would try to find any way possible to find out about Neville's story, and that Hermione would start arguing with him about how it was none of his business, which was true, Harry wished he hadn't known either. Oh well, thought Harry. They're not going to find out through me. Just then, the door to they're compartment slid open. Neville's head poked around the corner.
"Hello, guys. Could I sit here with you?" he asked.
"Well..." said Ron.
"Sure Neville, have a seat," said Harry, glaring at Ron. He knew Ron
didn't know anything about Neville's parents, but it still bothered him.
"Do you guys know who the new Quidditch Captain's gonna be?" asked
Neville.
"No, it's not me or Ron, we thought it might be you," said Harry.
"Me, a Quidditch Captain? Where'd you get an idea like that?" asked
Neville. Harry and Ron quickly turned to Hermione, but she didn't see, as her
head was buried in a book.
"Well, we kinda got that idea from Hermione," said Ron, "I was starting
to wonder Neville, not to be mean or anything, but I was wondering..."
"Do you know who the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher's gonna
be?" asked Harry, shooting a warning look at Ron.
"Nah, I heard Snape's finally getting the job," said Neville, shaking
and the end.
"WHAT?!?" yelled both Ron and Harry.
"But they can't"
"That's an important class"
"We won't learn anything"
"SNAPE CAN"T DO IT!!!!!!" (I know you can't really tell who said
anything, so Ron started and him and Harry kept switching)
"I don't know if it's true or not, but that's just what I think I
remember hearing," said Neville, shrugging.
Harry had to let out a sigh of relief, Neville had the worst memory in
the world, so of course it wouldn't be Snape as the new Defense Against the
Dark arts teacher. But who was it?
