A/n- This is a tad bit short, but I'm having trouble deciding what to do
for this story, I may end up starting all over, I dunno....well enjoy!
"Ready?"
"I'm always ready....."
Harry shook out of his shock, and saw the mysterious stranger walk into the school. He slowly followed, but with much caution. When Harry got inside he saw a few people heading for the Great Hall for breakfast. He saw the mysterious it, going in the other direction. The few people up didn't seem to notice It.
Harry shrugged and the stranger headed for what looked like Dumbledore's office. Harry had to quicken his pace to get there, he didn't think the stranger would be able to guess the password so quickly. But when Harry got to the front of Dumbledore's office the stranger was already in there, and the door was mysteriously open, he went in, and then waited in hearing distance.
"-And what all I want here is a room to stay." The stranger said.
"Hmm....I believe that can be done, very well then. I will ask our potions' master Snape, for an extra room, you'll get the most privacy down in the dungeons." Dumbledore said.
The stranger must have nodded since Harry didn't hear anything else. Until a few seconds later when footsteps were heading to where he was. Although he was under the invisibility cloak he didn't want to risk it so he quickly went out and ran for the dorms.
If he had stayed however, he would have heard the last seconds of the conversation. "You will be holding a class for the students?" Dumbledore asked.
"In a way, its time for everyone to see each other as they really are, those too afraid of the truth, can either die or be in fear the rest of their lives." The stranger said slightly dramatically, then left.
Dumbledore watched the stranger go and with a strange look then turned around and went back into his office.
When Harry got back to the common room, a few people were up, luckily Harry had taken off his invisibility cloak off just in case this kind of thing happened. He walked upstairs to the boys' dormitory.
"Harry where did you go off to this morning?" Ron asked as Harry came in through the door.
"Um.I'll explain later, lets just go down to breakfast now eh?" Harry said and hid the invisibility cloak under his bed.
The next few days held classes and catching up with friends, and enjoying the good weather when it came. Ron and Hermione had noticed a slight change in Harry, but decided to ask him about it at a better time. The mysterious stranger, whom Harry had found out was called, Shal, had only shown up for meals. Always asking for a table alone. Everyone was still trying to figure out who and what this person or thing was.
A week later, finally the mysterious person would finally be brought to light, or on some levels. During dinner one night, Dumbledore stood up, and smiled at everyone. Slowly the Great Hall quieted down.
"Hello students, I hope you are enjoying your year and getting all your work done. I have a couple announcements for tonight. First of all, I'd like to announce that we need a new team captain for the Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, and Slytherin Quidditch teams, so if anyone from those houses is interested, please go to the head of your house, whom will decide. And in other news, we have a new...... Hmm....semi teacher, Professor Shal. Professor Shal will be instructing students in an ancient magic method, that although.is quite old, will be very useful to many of you. Anyone who is interested, can sign up starting tomorrow. A lot of students will not be interested in doing this kind of magic, it takes a lot of work and practice. Please be warned and choose to sign up wisely. Thank you, enjoy the rest of the meal!"
Hermione looked at Harry and Ron and said, "I don't know about you guys, but I think it would be a good idea to sign up for.... Professor Shal's classes."
"Yeah....good idea...." Harry said in a far away voice.
'So Shal is holding classes? Ancient Defense? What is this about?'
"Yap it mighug be 'un" Ron said with while eating toast.
"What Ron?" Hermione said with a smile.
"It might be fun then....." Ron said glaring at Hermione.
Suddenly from across the room, Shal stood up, and went to the center of the room. The newly made professor made a strange signal at the Slytherin table and then walked out of the Hall. A lot of whispering and laughs came after that. In amidst of the controversy the new professor played on everyone, no one saw, the young, blonde, Slytherin known as Draco Malfoy follow Shal out of the room.
"Ready?"
"I'm always ready....."
