"Now Harry please be careful and if you have any trouble at all just
send your owl as soon as possible. Have fun." Those were the last words
said between a hug from Sirius and Lupin. Harry went back to the farest
compartment towards the back of the train. After 5 minutes of being in the
compartment with the hoots from Hedwig, Harry was joined by Hermione and
Ron.
"Blimey Harry! Why couldn't you come to my house over the summer?" gasped
out Ron who happened to be in his new robes.
"I was busy with Snuffles. I'm finally allowed to live with him. I even got an official report from Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic!"
Hermione suddenly went pale. "Harry do you really think it is safe for you to stay with Sirius. I mean you know you are now even more likely to get killed by You Know Who. I think your much better off living with your anut and uncle in the muggle world. You really ought to reconsider this arrangement Harry.You coul-"
Suddenly Ron bursted in. "Hermione, Harry has every right to live with his new legal gaurdian!"
"Fine have it your way then. Just be careful around the Magical world. Please I don't feel like losing a friend this year Harry."
"I promise I will be safe and I will be careful Hermione." All trought the trip Harry, Ron, and Hermione talked about Voldemort, family, friends, and who might take up the reopened job as Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher would be. Shortly after the conversation, they arrived in Hogwarts. As always the first years went on the traditional bout ride across the lake. The other students had to take the stage coaches to Hogwarts. As they boarded their belongings, Harry got an erie cold feeling to him. He was almost afraid to look anymore when he saw that hooded figures standing at the gate ways. "All no! Their back again! I still can't stand those Dementors!"shuddered Harry.
"All their here for Harry is to guard the ways into Hogwarts. Honestly do you think Proffessor Dumbledore wants anyone to get hurt by You Know Who. Don't worry. There has been a special spell cast upon them to prevent any attacks on anyone. There are also enchantments to keep them out of the school or on the Quidditch field." said Hermione rather in a tired vioce.
"I am fine as long as they leave me alone," said Harry as they entered the caoches. The ride to Hogwarts was entirely bumpier and water splashed onto the wheels of the caoches from recent rainy weather. With all of their backs hurting the students entered the great hall after watching first years get sorted into their houses. After the sorting Dumbledore raised his goblet and annouced to first years the rules of Hogwarts.
"I also like to note that this year's new Defense Against the Dark Arts has been replaced by Proffessor Patchett. Now let the feast begin." With a clap of the hand the five large tables over flowed with food. While everyone was talking of their summer, a large snowy owl with a very large pair of wings and chest covered specks of dark spots came in.
"Harry is that Hedwig?"questioned Ron.
"It looks like her but Hedwig has greenish eyes with yellow. That owl has orange dark blue eyes. It's also dark outside and Hedwig never brings mail at night." said Harry stumpped.
The owl didn't stop at any of the student's tables but stopped right in front of Proffessor Dumbledore at the teachers table. In a hushed voice Proffessor Dumbledore leant over towards Proffessor Magonagal[transfiguration teacher].
"Listen to this." Dumbledore had taken the parchament from thowls leg off and the strange owl flew out into the black sky. No one could see or hear what Dumbledore was saying.
Dear Proffessors at Hogwarts,
I'm glad and thankful that I am able to attend Hogwarts this year in person instead of through owling. The only thing is where I am at now is far away and I am dreadful I can't make it on the first day of school. My trip should not take several weeks. I charted out the course and should be able to arrive in couple of days. I'm very excited to meet you all in person after many years in silence school training. I'm also sorry if my owl does land on anyone his not suppose to. He hasn't had the chance to fly around Hogwarts and get use to the passages. See you in a couple of days!
Hollie Bradley All the teachers at the table began to grow a wide grin.[pic]
"She is really going to come!" said Proffessor Dumbledore. Mean while none of the students were paying attention exccept for Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
"Hermione, Ron, what do you think that letter is about? And who's owl was that?"piped up Harry.
"I don't know but whatever or whoever it is from it sure made all of the teachers at their table turn really happy."
Harry could tell by Hermione's statment that something weird was going to happen again at Hogwarts. The next few days went really fast for everyone at Hogwarts. All the teachers were going easy on homework. All exccept for Snape. He was the teacher that Harry hated the most. Harry never knew why but Snape hated Harry for some reason.
Weeks went by and Harry notice that some of the teachers were losing their happiness and joy. Then, on an October night before Halloween, something was going to happen that would change the teachers attitudes. All the students and teachers were settibg down. The clouds in the sky began to darken and more lighting and thunder was availible to see. The teachers went rather slowly with their meals. Mean while at the very front door to Hogwarts a girl of 14 walked up.
"Blimey....He forgot to leave the dooor unlocked,"said the girl as she struggled with the locked door."All well....Alohamora." The girl not being seen walked in to a humungous room with stairs upon stairs bellowing up to several floors and corridors."I wonder where everyone is at." At that thought she looked over to where the Great Hall was and decided that the proffessors would be in there. "I just can't walk in normally. I gotta surprise them."
Minutes later the candles and torches of the Great Hall dimmed down. There were a couple of screams from each table and some of the Students began to panic. Without no warning, a small hooded figure walked in with it's back hunched over. Harry figured it might have been a goblin.There was a sudden change in the room. A light of baby blue lite the room and before anyone had a chance to say anything, the giant wooden stick that the creature was holding was droven into the marble floor. When Harry and the others looked down, they were surprised to see that the floor turn to water.The creature lempt on one foot as it made it's way to the teachers' table. There was a cold dark laugh that Harry thought he had heard before.
"What is is your business here?" sqeeked Hagrid.
"HAHA!HAHA!HAHA!I have come to restate a turn of tables and to barken on the revenge that I have so longly desired for so many years!"said an erie dark mumbled vioce.
"You have no right to barge in on the school of Hogwarts!" called out Proffessor Dumbledore.
"I am afraid that is not a law," said the dark vioce.
"I wish you to leave these grounds at once and never return! I will not have my associates nor the students put into any danger or harm from you!" Dumbledore began to reach in his pocket for his wand. He raised the wand up and said,"I am warning you here and now! Now leave at once!"
"I intended on staying till business of my revenge is in this current conversation!" The creature walked even nearer to the table.
"I gave you a warning!Acodarmiafiream!" shouted Dumbledore. In an instant the creature fell to the floor when the red rosen light from the wand reached the creature. Blood from the creature's cut hand flowed in a tiny river towards the table.
"Dumbledore kiilled it!"shouted out a student from Hufflepuff. To a surprise there was the same dark laugh the sent shivers up Harry's back.
The dark vioce said,"You think a cut on my wrist would kill me?You must have better spells if you think a foolish fire cut spell would kill me!"
"I TELL YOU NOW OUT OF HOGWARTS WITH YOU. WE HAVE NO NEED FOR A DISRESPECTFUL,STUPID, AND MONSTEROUS CREATURE LIKE YOU!"[pic] [pic][pic][pic]
The creature began to rise."You know first judgementals are never a good thing are they Proffessor? But what I think is so funny id that you of all people would call me a-" there was a sudden cut off as the vioce turned softer into a more human vioce. The creature removed it's hood and to everyones surprise, it was a teenage girl. "Monster Proffessor Dumbledore!"
In a weak vioce Dumbledore managed to say,"Hollie?" Dumbledore stood there for a moment eye to eye with the girl. Slowly he began to walk toward the girl. With an arm's reach between them, he took hold of the girl's hand and stared at her brilliant red hair pulled into a tight bun. She was tanned skinned with eyes of green. At that second more teachers came out from behind the table.
"Hollie I can't believe it's you!" Proffessor Dumbledore reached around gave her a great huh. Later teachers like Hagrid, Magonnagol, Sprout, and even to Harry's surprise Proffessor Snape even hugged the girl. "Come lets get you sorted into your house. Then later we must go and have a talk in my office. Now just have a seat here on the stool." Dumbledore placed the hat on her and took a few paces back toward the other teachers. She looked very nervous once the hat started to talk.
"Ah...Your a little bit harder to place. Let's see where to put you. I see you have accomplished much and yet you do charity for others' sakes. I also see strong amounts of courage and a strand to tell the world who you are! I could put you in Slytherin.
"No....please anywhere else. I beg you plaese don't put me in Slytherin."
"Are you sure? Slytherin could make you famous......just like Harry Potter."
"NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!I can't go there life would be horrible!
"Alright.hummmmmmmm...............If your sure..............GRYFFINDOR! A great relief came to Hollie as she got up from the stool and the sorting hat was done.
"Excellent Hollie! Now there is the Gryffindor table and later you are more than welcomed for a chat up in my office. Ohh...There is the Head Boy and Girl of your house. If you need and want to know any directions for here or around Hogsmeade oyu can ask them, the students, or even any of us teachers. All of your books and luggage hae been carried off to the Gryffindor Girls Bedrooms.
She gently gave a node. "Thank you so much Proffessor Dumbledore. I will also keep the other rules in mind while I am here. Before I head up to Gryffindor Tower, ummm..........I do have a couple of questions if you have time to answer them.
"Of course I don't mind. Go ahead. Ask away."
"Okay. Well the first is really important. Are students allowed to have their owls with them in their houses and dormintory?"
"Yes. We allow that for a reason. Since most students have some free time we feel that students should spend time with their pets so both the pet and owner can form a strong relationship for following years."
"Um....Also are we allowed to go away on vacation days?"
"You should keep in touch with your family so the answer is yes."
"Thank you sir." Hollie quickly turned on her heel, gave a silence whistle and in came the owl that had the very same orange dark blue eyes. The owl swept in right over Dumbledore's head and onto her shoulder.
"I'm sorry about that,"Hollie said quickly. Hollie and her owl wlaked up to the Gryffindor common room.
"You know that was not very nice to land on top of Dumbledore when I sent him my letter at the begining of the school year you do realize that don't you?"said Hollie in a serious tone.
The owl took one look at her and noded up and down twice.
"You know....I think I will end up here for a teaching job. I'm thinking most likely for Defense Against the Dark Arts. Now where is that picture of the old fat lady in the pink dress? Ah here ya are."
"Password?"said the over sized woman.
"Berry Blossum Blue," The picture swung open to a door way leading to a enormous room with a giantic fire place.
"I was busy with Snuffles. I'm finally allowed to live with him. I even got an official report from Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic!"
Hermione suddenly went pale. "Harry do you really think it is safe for you to stay with Sirius. I mean you know you are now even more likely to get killed by You Know Who. I think your much better off living with your anut and uncle in the muggle world. You really ought to reconsider this arrangement Harry.You coul-"
