Chapter 47-The New School

The next morning, the Hogwarts students were starting their classes. James, Tara, Amber and Daniel had received the same classes.

"I hope this potions teacher is better then Snape." Muttered Tara.

"Don't worry, she is." Said Daniel. "She teaches it without yelling, unlike Snape."

"Good, maybe I'll learn something." Said James.

Their first class was Care of Magical Creatures. The class was so much different without Hagrid teaching. The teacher was short lady with greying hair.

"Welcome Hogwarts students. My name is Professor Witherspoon. Today we are going to learn about Basilisks a.k.a. King of Serpents. It hasn't been seen since, well, since famous Harry Potter, also the only Parselmouth left in Britain, was at Hogwarts in the Chamber of Secrets."

"Go Dad!" shouted James, which made everyone stare.

"Your Harry Potter's son? But.if he's a Parselmouth.then.so are you!" said Witherspoon.

"Really! Well we learn something new everyday eh?" said James shrugging.

"Anyways, back to the lesson."

After Care of Magical Creatures, it was Defense Against the Dark Arts.

"Ah, new faces, new school. Well, I recognize one person from Hogwarts. Anyways, my name is Professor Jiggs. Today we are going to learn how to protect yourself from werewolves. Will everyone take out some parchment and write down these notes."

They spent the rest of the class taking notes.

After that class it was lunch.

"I thought you had to make a lot of noise and back away slowly with werewolves." Said Amber sitting down at the Swallow table.

"I should really owl my mum about the change of schools for the year." Said Tara.

That night after dinner Tara sat on her bed and wrote the letter to her mum and Viktor.

Dear mum and.dad =)

I hope you are well. Well, I don't know if you heard but Dumbledore was kidnapped. We are at a school in Canada and I men yet another cousin of mine! Scott Malfoy.anyway that's all. We are all fine here. Bye.

Love Tara

Tara sent the letter off with Saturn and headed back to the common room. James, Daniel and Amber were sitting at one of the fires, talking as usual.

There was still no word on where Dumbledore's whereabouts near Halloween. No one had seen him since the day before term started. The ministry had kept it quiet so no one knew except the students, some parents, teachers and the ministry.

Weeks passed and Halloween passed.the winter was coming and you could feel it. The snow was falling on the mountains around the castle, not in front of it.

"Oh, I hope it snows soon!" said Tara looking out the window one December afternoon.

"Umm, sorry to burst your bubble but I rarely snows here." said Daniel.

"WHAT!? No snow? Well.HMPH!"

"No, its just.it hardly ever snows here in the winter, it just rains."

"I see.it better snow!"

That night, they went down to dinner and Tidbit stood up for an announcement.

"Students! It has come to my attention that we haven't started Quiddich yet! I have an idea so our Hogwarts guests can also play. We will have eight teams this year, the ones here and the ones in Hogwarts. We will start after the Christmas break."

"QUIDDICH, WOOOO!" shouted James, which made the whole room to explode with laughter.

"Ugh, your.ugh!" sighed Tara.
