CHAPTER 8

A/N- I'll be skipping back and forth between the kids and adults, so if it gets confusing just tell me! (

"Wow." Ginny gasped, realized for the first time the magnitude of what had just happened. With all the commotion going on at the Burrow, she had barley any time to think about it. It didn't seem like it was almost twelve years; the time seemed to have flow by.

Harry was equally as shocked, just trying to make sense of it all. Ginny walked into the kitchen and spotted a newspaper.

"Did you subscribe to the daily prophet?" She asked.

"Yeah." Harry said. He was tired and still in shock so he didn't feel like talking much. "Got it from work.discount prices you know."

Ginny eyed him. "Thinking about work, have you found another job yet?" She asked.

"No, not yet." He replied. "Maybe something in the Ministry."

Nodding her head, Ginny picked up the newspaper and began to read to herself. She started to laugh, and when Harry asked her why, she responded with, "They say that with great Harry Potter back on our side once again, we will-"

"Stop!" Harry protested. ~*~*~*~*~

".Harry Potter back on our side once again, we will for sure conquer the dark lord. Written by Journalist Colin Creevy." Jamie read.

"I'm sure my dad will be so happy!" Charlie said sarcastically.

"Well he is famous." Trent pointed out.

"He still won't be happy."

Tracy, the fourth member of their little group, made them aware that if they didn't hurry up they would be late to their very first class. Tracy, unlike Trent, was a muggle born; She had asked Harry how to get to platform nine and three quarters the previous day.

"Alright, lets go." Charlie said, packing up his books and supplies.

"We have Defense Against the Dark Arts." Tracy said, "I think that this is going to be a very interesting class. I mean, werewolves, vampires, all that stuff!"

"We'll see how great this is." Jamie muttered to Trent, who understood what the dark forces really could do. Charlie understood, of course, but not as well as the two of them.

They walked through the marble hallway, trying to figure out where they were. Suddenly, footsteps could be heard, although no one was visible.

"Nice try you two." Jamie said, it seemed, so the air. "But Uncle Fred and Uncle George told you a million times that that stuff doesn't work. See? Rich! Lisa!"

As soon as Jamie said their names, her twin siblings could be revealed, standing right in front of them. "Well it was worth a shot." Lisa said, walking away and completely ignoring the four. *~*~*~*~* Meanwhile, in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, there was something already going on.



"Sirius, you can't possibly. Even though you are." Lupin said.

"My name is cleared, Remus; I can do anything I want to now!"

"Yes, but-"

"And if being the Headmaster of Hogwarts is what I want, I can do it!"

"Sirius, I don't think you get the point that the people still don't trust you!"

"You worry too much."

"You don't worry enough!"

"Why wouldn't they trust me as headmaster?"

"Well when they found out I was a werewolf I had to leave here, remember?" Lupin replied Sirius was standing at the chalkboard, drawing meaningless designs on it.

"You go try, but I doubt it."

Sirius put down the chalk "Alright! See ya later!"



Sirius walked out the door, and no sooner had he done that then four student of his class walked in. There was one girl with medium length brown hair and freckles, who was slightly shorter then the rest, and the other girl, who had long black hair, and deep brown eyes. Looking at the two boys with them, he saw one with short blond hair and blue eyes, and next to him- . Lupin's heart almost skipped a beat. Those eyes- he was sure!



"Hello students, Charlie, Jamie. I'm Professor Lupin." Charlie and Jamie looked at each other. How did he know their name? Lupin smiled. "I seemed to remember a certain group like this." He looked at his students. "Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and for a while there Ginny Weasley, am I correct?"



This is getting weirder and weirder, Charlie thought.
