Summery: What would happen if Harry Potter went
back in time? Not to be a student but to teach? This story is going to be about Harry, at 19, going
back in time to his parents 7th year and teaching Defense Against
the Dark Arts (DADA). What
secrets would be found out? Find out all this and more.
A/N: Chapter 2 folks! Please
review. I need feedback to get better. I need to know if this is a totally worthless
cause to be writing this. I am getting sick of writing defense against the dark
arts so DADA means defense against the dark arts.
Days Gone
By—Are They Really Gone?
It was a horrible day, storming and whatnot. But to Harry Potter it was a day of possibilities and new hopes. Both started when, with a loud pop, Harry appeared on a rock facing the lake at Hogwarts. He quickly got up and ran to the large front doors of Hogwarts, to avoid getting much wetter. He brushed himself off and knocked on the door. A stern looking lady, with her dark hair pulled into a bun on top of her head, opened the door and looked at him with open curiosity.
Harry looked at her for a minute and said, "Professor McGonagall, my name is Harry Larson. I am here to see Professor Dumbledore about the Defense Against the Dark Arts teaching position."
She seemed to regain her senses and said, "Right this way. I could have sworn that you were a student at this school. You look just like him. Except for the eyes…"
Harry grinned while she continued talking. Having these people as a teacher enables you to learn certain tricks to block them out. They stopped in front of the stone gargoyle and McGonagall said the password (lemon drops) and lead him up the stairs. Dumbledore was feeding Fawkes, but he turned around when they came in. He looked at Harry, also, with open curiosity. McGonagall then introduced Harry.
"Sir, this is Harry Larson. He is here about the open position for DADA," she said and then she left.
"Well Harry, why don't you have a seat? I will have to ask you a few questions before I can give you the job. First off I have got to ask, what is your age?"
Harry sat down and prepared himself to answer, " Thank you for talking to me. As for your question, I am 19 years old."
"My that is young. Where did you go to school and may I see your records?"
"I went to school in Ireland. I am sorry but I don't have my records. They were in the school when it burnt down last year," Harry pretended to look sad when he said that, and was successful might I add.
"You will need to take a test about your knowledge of DADA. If you pass you get the job," said Dumbledore, knowing that someone that young probably wouldn't pass the test.
"Alright," Harry said, "Bring on the test."
Dumbledore went to get the test, and while he was gone, Fawkes flew over to Harry.
" 'Lo Fawkes. Long time no see," he said petting Fawkes.
Dumbledore came in and was shocked to see the young man petting Fawkes. The young man turned around and said, "I hope you don't mind but he flew over to me, and he was so handsome that I just had to pet him. What is his name?"
"His name is Fawkes. I am amazed that he will let you touch him, let alone astounded by the fact that he flew over to you. Here is the test. You may take it in here. Here is a quill for you to use," he said handing the man his test and a quill.
He sat down while Harry took the test. What he didn't know is that Harry was the top of DADA and he had the defeating Voldemort thing on his record. Harry breezed through the test and was done with the 100 questions in about half an hour. Dumbledore corrected it by hand and was once again astounded by Harry. He had aced the test.
"Well, young man, congratulations, you passed the test. I will show you where you can stay," he said.
Then noticing Harry's belongings, he said, "You can leave those here and the house elves will bring those to your room. Follow me."
Harry followed Dumbledore with one last glance at his belongings and Hedwig. He was taken to a stone nymph a few doors down from the DADA room and his office. The password to open it was Voldemort. Dumbledore looked at Harry when he said the password but Harry didn't even flinch. It was like the boy was super man or something. Harry walked into the room to find a large bed in the corner, a desk, and a dresser. The room was done up in Gryffindor colors.
"It is a lovely room, sir," Harry gave Dumbledore a piercing stare with his emerald eyes, "Is there something you would like to ask me sir?"
"Yes there is. Why do you have such a striking resemblance to one of my 7th year students?"
Harry grinned and simply stated, "I do not know, sir. Who is this student you speak of?"
"James Potter. He is the head boy this year. Are you sure you do not know? Are you related to him?"
"I can assure you that I do not know. I am an orphan. I do not know my parents names or what they look like."
"You will need to be in the Great Hall on September 1st in time for the feast. Okay?"
"Yes sir. You have my word," and with that said Dumbledore left.
Outside Harry's room he mumbled, "There is something fishy about that boy and I will find out what it is."
And with that the storm ended.
Before Harry knew it, it was September 1st and time for the feast. He went up to the head table and sat down next to Sprout and Taylor. Taylor was the potions teacher before Snape and was much friendlier than him too. All the students came piling into the great hall and started mumbling about who he was. Dumbledore stood up and gave the welcoming speech after the sorting hat sorted.
"We have a new DADA teacher this year. His name is Harry Larson. Please treat him with respect. Let's give him a warm welcome."
Harry turned around when he heard that. He stood up, and gave a small bow and a smile. He sat down. He groaned when the girls swooned at him. He turned to Taylor and said, "What did I do to deserve this?"
Taylor laughed and said, "Well, I think it is sweet. James gets the same response from girls. Well except from Lily and I think he likes her for that reason. Maybe you should talk to him and trade secrets."
Harry laughed. "Which one is he?" Even though he already knew the answer to that.
"He is the one at the Gryffindor table with short black hair and glasses. To his right is Sirius Black; those two are best friends and pranksters. Also in their group are Remus Lupin and Peter Pettegrew," She didn't notice that Harry flinched at that name, "Watch out for them, they are serious pranksters. And Lily Evans is James girlfriend."
"Thanks Taylor. I appreciate it. I think I will go down and say hello to them," said Harry unconcerned with what she just told him.
"Good luck getting out alive or in a normal condition," she said laughing.
As everyone was going to their respective dorms, Harry went to meet James and his crew. As he was walking by Sirius, Sirius grabbed Harry and said, "Come on James! We have got to figure out a prank for the new teacher! We could…"
"Sirius Black, I presume," interrupted Harry laughing.
"Jeez, James can you not even remember my name now that you are dating Lily?" Sirius asked still pulling him along.
"Of course I remember your name, Sirius," said the real James.
"Oh hello James I was just telling you—wait a minute! If you are James," Sirius pointed at James, "then who are you?" he said pointing at Harry.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Harry Larson your new DADA teacher."
Sirius gaped at him and then exclaimed, "I can't believe I just told him my plan!"
James laughed. "Well I am James Potter and that is Sirius Black…"
"I know who you people are. You sure do have a large reputation over your head. The other teachers told me all about you," Harry said grinning like a Cheshire cat.
Sirius spoke up, "Because of our wonderful pranks and numerous detentions?"
"No," stated Harry and James looked at him.
"Then why?" asked James.
"Because I look like James. Well I must go now. See you when I teach you!" exclaimed Harry walking away.
"Because he looks like me?"
"It is true, though, only he has better hair than you Jamsie boy!" and with that Sirius walked away.
"I will have to ask him about the hair. Sirius, race you to the common room!" said James running ahead of Sirius.
"No fair you got a head start!" and with that Sirius ran after James
