HARRY POTTER AND THE UNFINISHED BUSINESS
CHAPTER 1 MAGNUS KAIN
As the still grieving students filed into the great hall for the start of term feast all of them seemed to notice a bit of difference, everybody seemed in a somber mood, even the Slytherins. As Ron, Ginny, and Hermione sat at the Gryffindor table several people came up to them and gave there best wishes, a few minutes before the new first years came in to be sorted, Draco Malfoy approached the trio with an odd look on his face, they where about to tell him to sod off until they noticed he was alone, before they could say anything he began talking in a soft tone that was absolutely nothing like his usual arrogant drawl, "I'm truly sorry to hear about what happened to Potter, it may surprise you but even I will miss him" with that he quickly turned and walked back to the Slytherin table.
Within seconds all the new first year students walked in through the main doors and formed a line waiting to be sorted into there houses. All through the sorting ceremony hardly any body paid attention, but they did catch a few names such as "Jim Raynor, Hufflepuff", "Hotaru Tomoe, Ravenclaw" and even "Wayne Freeman, Slytherin". After all the new students had taken their seats at the proper tables Professor Dumbledore stood and motioned for silence, "Welcome to another fine year at Hogwarts, before we begin the banquet I would like to say a few words, Bumblebee, Basilisks, Bitten, and Prestidigitation, now with that said, dig in"
And that they did, everybody ate and talked as happily as could be expected considering the recent loss of Harry Potter, the meal was pleasant and for the first time in several hundred years it seemed like all the houses where at peace. After they had all been stuffed with the meal and desert, Dumbledore called there attention again "Now that we have all been fed and watered, I have some start-of-term notices, first of all the forbidden forests is just that, forbidden, quidditch tryouts will take place in two weeks, and if we could wait a bit the new defense teacher will be arriving in a few seconds."
Then as if on cue the main doors swung open and a man wearing a dark green cloak rode in atop a large dark green Chocobo and trotted up toward the head table, when he reached the teachers table he dismounted, he whispered something to the large bird and it ran out of the room and was probably headed toward the forest. The man walked to Dumbledore and shook his hand, then walked around the table and took a seat between the headmaster and the potions master, Dumbledore called for attention again "It would be my pleasure to introduce the newest Hogwarts staff, Professor Magnus Kain, the new defense against the dark arts instructor"
The man stood and removed his hood, he looked much too young to be a professor, most people thought he looked about eighteen at the oldest, he had pale smooth looking skin with only one imperfection, he had a thin scar running from his hairline above his right eye, it extended through a solid white eye and stretched all the way to the tip of his chin, the other eye was a solid bright green with no visible white at all, his hair was long but at the moment nobody could be sure exactly how long it was, but the most surprising thing was his hair was dark green which made his skin look even paler and matched his left eye perfectly.
There was a decent round of applause but the professor kept a straight face and merely nodded then sat back down so he could get a quick meal as well, all the students left for their respective common rooms, and from there to their respective dorms so they could all sleep as well as possible. Shortly after the new professor walked down a few dark hallways on his way back to his own staff quarters, he found the portrait he had been looking for and stopped to admire it for a few seconds, it was a portrait of a Hungarian Horntail, he spoke the password "Star Crafter" and entered his room.
The sitting room was nicely decorated in a tasteful combination of greens and browns, there was a large comfortable looking couch, chair, and love seat all facing a warm inviting fire in his large fireplace, but he didn't enjoy the fire, instead he walked through a door across from the portrait entrance and entered his new bedroom, he was given a large four poster bed that looked as if it could easily fit twenty people, the bed was decorated like the rest of his chambers, a perfect combination of green and brown with silver stitching, he didn't even bother with removing his robes or cloak, he just collapsed onto his bed and enjoyed his first night back home.
The morning of her first day back at Hogwarts, Ginny Weasley didn't want to do anything, she had felt horrible ever since the funeral and almost had to be dragged back to school by all six of her brothers. She decided to get up so nobody would get irritated at her already, she took a quick shower, got dressed in her uniform and walked into the common room just as Ron and Hermione where leaving for breakfast. As they entered the great hall and took there seats Ginny couldn't help noticing the new professor looked a bit familiar.
During breakfast everybody was quiet due to recent events, then as usual, the Weasley twins Gred and Forge as they sometimes called themselves, decided to cause a bit of mischief to lighten the mood. They both glanced at there sister Ginny, then noticed she was looking at the new professor, both they both had identical evil grins "ya know Gin, its rude to stare" Fred commented "besides, don't you think he might be a bit old for you" George added, before they could blink they where laying on the floor with identical bloody noses staring up at there red faced little sister who seemed to be extremely fascinated by her breakfast.
For a few minutes the entire Gryffindor table seemed to explode with laughter at the misfortune of the Weasley pranksters. Then as the owl post arrived everybody quieted a bit, then as they noticed an odd owl it became so silent they could hear the beating wings of each individual owl, the owl that caused such a reaction was extremely odd, it almost looked like a snowy owl except is was dark green with silver on its wing tips and tail feathers, it flew around the room once then landed on the shoulder of the new defense Professor.
The professor gave the strange owl a couple pieces of sausage and an owl treat, then the owl flew away back to the owlery. The professor stood and walked out of the great hall looking in a foul mood so nobody tried speaking to him.
As Magnus walked out of the great hall he walked off toward his classroom to prepare for his first class as the DADA teacher, he remembered it had always been his favorite class, but at the time he was a student, he figured being the professor would seem a bit odd but he could do it.
He entered the defense class and quickly walked through a door behind his desk that led to his small office, it was about as large as he remembered his old common room was, except it was decorated in different shades of green and brown, there was a large fireplace with a small couch positioned in front of it and on the other side of the room was a large brown desk with a comfy looking green chair behind it, behind that, the wall was covered by several bookcases stacked with easily over a hundred books about defense against the dark arts.
He ran a hand through his messy green hair and grinned 'the old man seems to know everything'. He went back into the classroom as his first students filed in and took there seats, he was teaching the fourth year Gryffindor and Slytherins. Magnus called role and put the parchment with there names on it into his desk. "well class, I am your new DADA professor, my name is Magnus Kain but of course during class you will call me Professor Kain or sir, if any of you are lucky enough to see me in a hall you may address me however you wash, as long as you don't call me late for a meal, now before we get started, any questions?"
The class was shocked, everybody just dumbly stared at him until a Slytherin boy spoke up, "so if we see you in a hall we could call you a grubby old fool?" Magnus glanced at him then replied "if that is how you see me then do as you wish, as long as nobody calls me late for a meal or catches me in a bad mood I don't mind" This statement shocked the class even more.
Every student stared at there new professor as if they had never seen one before "so, no more questions?" they all just shook there heads dumbly. "well then, I want you all to put your books away, you won't be needing them yet" The all looked at him oddly then did as they where told.
"now class, what have you already gone over in the previous years?" everybody began to look around a bit nervously "Miss Weasley, could you?"
Ginny stood and answered quietly naming off several kinds of dark creatures, after she had finished she sat and seemed extremely interested in her desk. Professor Kain looked a bit shocked "so you haven't gone over boggarts or werewolves yet?"
The class just shook there heads a bit dumbly "well I'm gonna have to change that, if I can't find a boggart by tomorrow then we will go over werewolves" everybody just stared at him with odd expressions. "well, its been a pleasure meeting you all but that will be all for our first class so there will be no homework and you all may return to your respective common rooms until your next class"
The whole class got up quickly and orderly filed out of the classroom before there odd professor changed his mind, on her way out Ginny noticed professor Kain removing his cloak and revealing a long green braid that stopped around the back of his knees.
Later that night Magnus trudged into his sitting room completely ignoring the comfortable looking couch and the inviting fire, he passed it all up and walked straight into his bedroom where he carelessly fell face down on his four poster bed dreaming about the one thing that would never be his, not because of fate or lack of interest, even if he didn't show it he was very much interested and he knew she also was, from his view his own goddess with flaming hair, a fiery spirit, her legendary temper and even her sock stealing habits, he was dreaming about the girl he let get away...
Please review and tell me if you like the story so far, and if you hate it then review and tell me why. I would also like to know what everybody thinks of my character Magnus Kain.
