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.
"We have got to get to the kitchens!" James
shouted to Sirius, "I am so hungry and," lowers voice, "we need to get the
house elves to do a favor for us."
"Prongs, I am so tired,
I jus—wait a minute did you say a favor?" Sirius said looking around for eavesdroppers as James nodded, "What kind
of favor?"
"Look if you don't want to go it is fine with me but I was
thinking I can't let my reputation be tarnished by not pulling pranks on
Slytherin, especially since DADA. I have to pull as many pranks as I can to
show the people that I still have my touch. I still don't know how he reversed
that prank," said James looking like he were thinking but then he grinned, "I
was thinking that Snapy could use a little peppering up, if you catch my drift.
He has looked so depressed lately."
Sirius grinned evilly, and said, nodding, "Your right. He
could use a little peppering up. Sure I'll come, this is way too much fun to
miss."
As the duo was walking to the portrait, Remus looked up and
said, "Hey Sirius!" he looked over, "Don't you have a essay to do for charms?"
Sirius nodded and said, "Yes, I do, why are you asking?"
"Isn't it due tomorrow?"
Sirius turned white, and James looked at him. James yelled at
Sirius, "You forgot to do the assignment? Now what will I do, unless," James
looked around the common room until he saw what he was looking for, "LILY!!
Will you help Sirius with his charms homework?"
"No way! Why can't he do it himself?"
James went over to her and got down on his knees to beg,
"Please? Lil, come on, we really need you to do this for us."
"Us? Isn't he is capable of doing his own homework? Or do you
do it for him?" she said, glaring at Sirius from across the common room.
Sirius stepped in and said, "I DO my OWN homework, thank you
very much! I will do it right now, if you don't believe me!"
"Fine then! Show me!" shrieked Lily, grinning that she just
got Sirius out of the prank.
James walked back over to Sirius and groaned, " Sirius, you do
know that she did that so you wouldn't do the prank, right?"
The grin on Sirius' face faded, "Crap! You're right I can't go
now! But the prank must be done. I am sorry James, but you will have to do this
one by yourself."
James sighed and showed Sirius his invisibility cloak and the
Marauder's Map, "Fine, at least I came prepared. Well have fun Padfoot, buddy,"
James slapped Sirius on the back and walked out of the portrait hole.
As James was walking out, he could hear Sirius muttering and
James laughed at what he heard. Sirius had said, "I can't believe I fell for
that."
James put on his cloak and slowly made his way to the
kitchens, unnoticed, and not bothering to look at the map. But little did he
know that coming the opposite way was a professor.
Lily Evans was walking up to the 7th year girl
dormitories with a smug expression on her pretty face. She had long red hair
that curled just enough to give it some body and dazzling emerald green eyes.
She was about five and a half feet tall, but her stance made her seem more so.
She was envied by other girls—not for her dazzling looks, but for her
relationship with James. But that jealousy was tapering down. The girls were
interested in an older guy—Harry to be exact. Lily had to admit that Harry was
good looking. 'He is a spitting image of James,' she thought beginning
to blush, 'and one must admit that James is hot. But one mustn't let James
find out I thought that. But James is so cute! I really like him—maybe even
more than like. Get your mind out of the gutter Lily! Think of something else,
if we let our mind go there it may never be the same. Think about…think
about…Sirius! Am I smart or am I smart? I mean who would believe I could make
Sirius do homework instead of take part in a prank. Now if only I could do that
to James…' She continued up to the dorm, catching snippets of other peoples
conversations—"Harry is so hot!", "And only nineteen!", "Doesn't Harry look
like James?" , "I love his hair!" and so on. Lily sighed and went into her
dorm. 'Maybe, just maybe, there is more to Harry than his looks. And maybe I
will be the one to find that out…'
Harry was pacing his room. He was wondering if he wanted to go
to the kitchens or if he wanted to go spy on James. He decided to go to the
kitchens and then go spy on James. He grabbed the marauder's map and took a
look at it. Harry smiled wickedly. It seems that Mr. James Potter was going
towards the kitchen. 'Well', he thought, 'A professor really mustn't
let a student wander the halls. Well, alone at least.' As he grabbed the
invisibility cloak, his scar gave a twinge. He was really getting worried about
that. His scar hadn't hurt since before Harry had defeated Volde—'Wait a
minute! That's it! Voldie hasn't been defeated yet and I am getting the side
affects of him being alive! Damn him. Once again he influences my life and I
haven't done anything to deserve it.' He smiled again and put on his cloak. He knew he didn't have to wear it,
but he didn't want to be seen. Well not just yet anyway. He started walking
fast down the halls to the kitchens, hoping that James wouldn't look at the map
that was sure to be with him. He was
coming up to James fast. He smiled. 'Might as well follow him for a
while—might give him a bit of a freak. '
James looked up fast. He could have sworn that he had heard
footsteps in front of him. 'Maybe I was imagining things,' he thought trying to
think up a reason, 'It was probably just Peeves.' He visibly relaxed. But
little did he know that someone had been in front of him. Harry was now
following him from behind while looking at the map. Just then James saw the
portrait of the fruit and rushed over. He took off the cloak and shoved it into
his pocket. He still had that feeling of being watched, but he shook it off as
he tickled the pear to go into the kitchens. He turned the handle and walked
in.
Harry had decided to wait about three minutes before he went
into the kitchen, but as he was waiting he looking the map. He saw someone
coming right towards him! "Crap!" he cried, "Albus is coming! I know he can see
through these cloak. What can I do?"
Every second Harry thought Dumbledore was looming closer and
closer. Finally Harry ripped off his invisibility cloak and dashed into the
kitchens. James had a shocked look on his face as he looked at the out of
breath professor. Harry smiled, "Made it. I was afraid that Albus would see
me."
Harry looked around and saw James sitting in the middle of the
kitchens. James was eating a load of chocolate éclairs. Harry sat down in a
chair next to James, asked for some Pumpkin Juice from the House Elves, and
grabbed an éclair from James' pile.
"Um, sir?"
"What James? And call me Harry. Sir just makes me feel old
and I am only 19."
"Ok. Harry then. Why were you running from Dumbledore? He's
really nice."
"I know he is but I have a feeling that he doesn't really
trust me."
"Well I can understand why. Nobody knows much about you."
Just then a house elf came with Harry's juice.
Harry smiled at the elf, "Thank you Quinny," he looked over at
James with a piercing stare," James, what do you mean by that?"
"What I mean is the only thing anyone knows about you is that
your name is Harry Larson, and I am not even sure about that one, you are
qualified to teach DADA at 19 and you are only 19."
"What do you mean by
you are not even sure about my name?"
"All I know is that the Giggle Bomb was made so it went
towards the person when you said their real name. No matter what. And it didn't
even go in your direction. Even though I said your first and last name. Why is
that, Harry?"
Harry laughed, "You are smarter than I thought James. Must be
why you were named Head Boy. What do you want to know about me?"
"First off what is your real name and how did you know what
to do about the Giggle Bomb?"
"I can't tell you about the Giggle Bomb except that you talk
really loud when you are planning about pulling a prank," he winked at James
but then his face took on a serious look, "As for my name. I already told you
that some things are better left unknown. But my name is really Harry, and you
will have to trust me on that. Anything else?"
"Well why don't you tell me about your life. That way I know
some of your history."
Harry looked a little uncomfortable at that. 'Little does he
know that he is my history,' he thought. James noticed that Harry
had looked a little uncomfortable at him wanting to know Harry's history and
thought, 'There is something he doesn't want anyone to know. I wonder what
it is.'
Harry noticed the look on James' face and smiled to reassure
him. He sighed, "How do I start? Well they always say that the beginning is a
good place so I will start there. I was born 19 years ago on July 31. On the
Halloween after my first birthday my parents were murdered, but they didn't get
me. I was sent to live with my guardians," Harry winced, "who weren't the best
people. I got a letter to go to school and I went there for 7 years. Last year
it was destroyed by Voldemort," Harry laughed at the expression on James face,
"What? Is it a problem to say his name? I didn't think so. After that I became
a type of honorary auror. Please don't ask about that, it brings up way too
many memories. And then I came here. Now it is your turn."
James looked at Harry oddly.
"What? You didn't honestly think that I was going to tell you
about my life and not get to know about yours."
James smiled at that. "You are different Harry. Did you know
that? The more I come to know about you the less I understand you," Harry smiled
at that and James continued, "As for my story. I will do as you did and start
at the beginning. I was born on August 31, 1961. I live with my mom Alyssa, who
is an unspeakable, and my dad Ryan, who is an auror. I am chaser on the
Gryffindor team and my girlfriend is Lily Evans. I was a prefect and now I am
Head Boy. How I got to be that I don't know. You obviously know my friends'
names and who they are so I won't tell you that. All in all I live a pretty
boring life."
Harry smiled, "Seems like a pretty good life to me. Now for
another question, why are you here tonight?"
At that James gave a mysterious smile, "I came to pull a
prank on Snape."
"Continue please. I won't turn you in. In fact if you want me
to I can vouch for you."
"Thanks. I thought that Snape could use a little peppering
up."
"Peppering up? Shouldn't you mean pepping up?" James shook his
head and Harry continued, "Obviously you have something up your sleeve. So what
is it?"
"Well there is a place that Snape sits every day and I was
thinking what if everything he ate had so much pepper that he couldn't stop
sneezing all day. So I came up here to give the House Elves the special packet
of pepper to poor on Snape's plate."
"That might work. In fact I like the idea a lot. Have you
asked the elves yet?"
"No, I haven't. They would probably tell the Head of House
all about it before it played out and that can't happen. So I don't know what
to do now."
Harry smiled, "Let me handle it. Quinny? Could you come here
for a minute? I need a favor."
Quinny came running over, "Yes Master Harry? Any thing you
wants Quinny to do Quinny will do."
"Could you put the packet that James over there is holding on
Snape's plate for tomorrow's breakfast?" Harry smiled as Quinny nodded, "Thank
you Quinny. Could you please not tell anyone about the packet?"
"Yes Master Harry, sir. Quinny won't tell no one. Quinny
promises Master Harry and Master James that Quinny won't tell no one at all."
James spoke up, "Thank you Quinny, Harry. You both do not know
how much this means to me."
With that Quinny ran away and Harry said, "No problem James.
But If I hear you got caught I will have to give your DADA class homework. And
I really don't want to have to do that."
James grinned, "You are so cool Harry. I mean there are
things I don't understand about you but you are so cool."
"Thanks James. Well you aren't so bad yourself. You had
better get under that invisibility cloak you have and go back to your common
room. I have to go now. See you tomorrow James."
As Harry was leaving, James stood up gapping like a fish. He
called out as Harry walked through the door, "Harry how did you know I had
one?" But Harry had already left and didn't hear James' question.
As James was hurrying to the common room, he was thinking, 'How
did he know that I had an invisibility cloak? It isn't something I go around
telling people. How does he know so much about this school and me? I still barely
know who he is. Maybe I will sometime soon.' And with that he said the
password to the fat lady (hickle-sickle) (a/n: Don't ask please) and walked
into the common room. He looked around and saw that Sirius was waving him over.
James went over and sat down next to Remus.
Sirius was practically jumping up and down, "So? What
happened? Did it work? What took you so long? Common tell me!"
Remus hit him on the back of the head, "Sirius calm down! Let
James get a word in edgewise," Remus turned to James, "So? What happened?
Sirius has even got me wondering."
James smiled gratefully at Remus but then his face took on a
look of deep thought. He said, "You guys will never believe who I met in the
kitchens…" James told them everything that happened in the kitchens and was
closing up, "… and I have no idea how he knew about the invisibility cloak.
None of you guys told him, did you?"
They all said no and were shocked that a professor would help
them pull a prank. Sirius was the first to comment. He said, "Harry is so cool!
I mean he is even going to vouch for you if you get caught. He is one of the
best professors in this school!"
Remus nodded, "I agree! It is as though he hates Snape as much
as we do. And we hate him a lot."
James finally stepped it, "I know he is cool, but he has so many
secrets and it is disturbing not knowing them. Don't you agree?"
They all nodded and
James said, "I am going to bed. See you guys in the morning." And with that he
walked up to his dorm and fell into his bed without changing his clothes. He
was asleep within a minute and one thought was in his head, 'I can't wait
until tomorrow…'.
