The new Mythology classroom was at least three times bigger than the old
one. Harry, Ron and Hermione couldn't help but let their mouths drop open
as the entered. The room was at least half the size of The Great Hall. No
classroom was that big! The desks were large enough to seat the three of
them and were placed in a circle facing into the middle. The Gryffindors
were taking Mythology with Hufflepuff this year. Which they were glad of,
they simply had too many classes with Malfoy and his lot. Ron looked around
the room and then, she walked in. Ron's mouth once again fell open. She was
gorgeous. He tapped Harry on the shoulder and he too gaped at her. Those
eyes, those legs, she was pure 100% woman. And drop dead gorgeous. The
woman walked up to the front of the classroom and waved her wand at the
board.
"Good morning everyone." Her strange accent shocked the class. "I'm Professor West, but if you promise not to tell anyone you can call me Calypso. Mainly because I was adopted and I don't like the thought using a name that's not mine. Now, as this is the first day back and my first day here lets get to know each other. We'll go around the room say our names and a few quick points about ourselves. I'll start." She sat down at the desk and relaxed into her chair. "My name is Calypso Esperanza West, I'm twenty seven years of age and haven't been outside Australia until last month." She pointed to the right of her. "Okay going around the circle."
"I'm Ron Weasley, I am the new beater for Gryffindor and I am very good at flying cars." Everyone cheered. They had all heard about the car fiasco four years previous and loved it.
"I'm Harry Potter, I live with the most annoying aunt and uncle you'd ever want to meet and according to Professor McGonagall I'm the only student to be told I was going to die three years in a row by Professor Trelawney." As he finished Harry brushed his fringe out of his eyes. His scar was shown slightly and then quickly covered up again.
"Who, hold the phones." Calypso suddenly stated. This line caught everyone's attention. "That's one bugger of a scar Harry, how'd that happen."
"You mean, you don't know who Harry Potter is?" One of the new Hufflepuffs asked.
"No, should I?" There were whispers all around the room now. Out of all the people in the world their Mythology teacher had no idea who Harry Potter is.
"Do you know, Lord Voldermort?" Harry asked
"Know him!" Calypso found this funny. "Of course I know him. Lord Voldermort is my cousin." A hushed silence fell over the room. "Well not technically, like I said, I'm adopted. He wasn't all that bad when we were kids. Aunt Bella said he would become something when he was older, never to know what that something would be." Still no one spoke the shock was enough to stop them from talking for the rest of their lives, or at least the day. "I'm guessing you're the kid that got rid of him." Calypso turned back to Harry and smiled. She didn't seem to realise how shocked the whole class was. "Sorry I bet everyone in England would know you better here. Well, shall we continue. I believe you were next." She pointed to Hermoine.
"Right well, I'm Hermoine Granger. I'm the only witch in my family and I'm the top the class for every subject." The lesson continued without a hitch.
