Chapter 4: Another One? ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
The next morning Hermione, Ron and Harry were in the great hall eating breakfast. Hermione had just filled them in on what had happened the night before since when she got back to the common room the night before they had already been asleep.
"It's not fair though!!" Hermione complained. "Malfoy should've gotten detention too!"
"Hermione, I don't think I've every heard you complain so much." Ron grinned as Hermione sent a glare in his direction.
"And Hermione, Snape was wrong about one thing." She looked at him questioningly. " Yea. In our second year, me an' Ron got detention for flying that blasted car to school." Harry and Ron both smiled at the memory. " You know, I haven't seen that car since out trip into the forbidden forest chasing those spiders." At the Ron shivered slightly.
Hermione smiled. Just then Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle walked behind them. " Did you happened last night?? A+ student Hermione Granger got detention!! And what for you may ask. For protecting her wittle itle baby bwother."
Hermione, whose face was beet-red, whirled around and glared at Malfoy who just smirked in return.
"Ignore him Hermi." Harry instructed.
"Sure. Whatever. I don't see you ignoring him every time he hurls an insult at you." Said Hermione.
"Well that's cuz. umm, I, . errrrrr-"
"Well, I have to bring Liz some food. She's probably starving by now." With that, Hermione shoved some bacon, toast, and a bagel into her school bag and hurried off to the common room. Running through the hallways, Hermione reached the portrait hole. "Curcerslab." She muttered and stepped through the hole that was revealed after the fat lady swung her picture forward.
Glancing around the common room, there was no sign of Liz so she slipped quietly up the steps into the girls' dormitory. Hermione found Liz reading a comic book she had found the previous day under Dean Thomas's bed.
"I got you some breakfast."
"Really? Good. I'm starved!" Liz exclaimed. Hermione rummaged around in her bag for what she had brought and handed it all over to the young muggle girl. For a few minutes there was silence as Liz hungrily devoured the bacon and toast. Before she started on the bacon though, one thing came to mind. "Hermione can I ask you something."
"Sure. What do you want to know?"
"Well why is everyone around here so. so secretive, about everything? Especially Ron and Harry."
"Umm. well I really don't know." Hermione answered slowly. "But I'll tell Ron and Harry you said that." She smiled reassuringly.
Hermione hurried down the corridor to the Great Hall hoping that Harry and Ron would still be there. She was in luck. Ron and Harry where just about to leave the hall and they ran to meet her.
"Okay. What's our first class?" Ron asked, not bothering to take out his schedule.
" I think it's Defense Against the Dark Arts." Hermione answered as she fished her schedule out of her bag.
"Yup, it is. I wonder who the next teacher will be? Dumbledore didn't announce it last night at the start of term feast. Come to think of it I haven't seen Dumbledore at all so far. He wasn't even at the feast last night." Harry said still looking at his schedule.
"Well we better be getting to class so we aren't late. I don't want to make a bad impression on the new teacher." Harry and Ron rolled their eyes.
"Hermione, classes don't start for another twenty minutes. Gosh, I could get all the way to Snape's dungeon an back twice in that time." Ron stated. Hermione made a face at him and Harry laughed. "Do you to ever stop arguing?" He asked. They looked at each other and said in unison, "No."
Fifteen minutes later, Hermione, Ron and Harry where sitting at there three usual desks in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. A couple of minutes later, every stopped talking and stared at the doorway. There stood a tall, slim figure with long wavy black hair. The figure entered the room and said "Hello. I am to be your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher." In a very quiet yet firm voice, which had a slight accent to it. "Lumoroso." The person whispered and light flooded the room. It was a woman who looked about twenty-five. Her eyes where jade-green and she had curly blonde hair. "My name is Professor Durnham." Harry, Ron and Hermione exchanged glances. "I am from Narragansett, Rhode Island in the U.S.A."
"Please take out you're wands and books." The new teacher commanded. Everyone in the room did so without a word. When this happened the woman seemed to relax a bit. "Okay. We're gonna start off by you telling me what you have most recently covered and then I'll have everyone example it for me. It will also give me a chance to get to know you and you're skill level." After learning what they had studied, Professor Durnham started calling names.
"Lavender Brown, Parvati Patil, Hermione Granger." And then: "Seamus Finnigan, Harry Potter, Dean Tho-, wait a second!" She turned to Harry." Are you THE Harry Potter? Famous Harry Potter? The one who survived You-Know-Who??" Harry nodded, his face red. She put a slim hand on his forehead moved the bangs away revealing his lightning-shaped scar. "Wow. I had no idea I would be teaching you." After that everything went back to normal except for the fact that Professor Durnham kept slipping glances over her slim shoulder at Harry. The rest of the lesson continued with great ease and to everyone's great surprise and pleasure, Professor Durnham assigned no homework for that night.
In the corridor outside the classroom, the three friends where checking their schedules and talking.
"Don't you think it's kind of weird that the new teacher had the same last name as Liz??" Hermione asked.
"Yeah I guess but it's not that weird. Who knows. Durnham might be a pretty common name in the U.S.A." Ron said.
"Liz isn't even from the U.S.A." Harry reminded them.
"So there's even less of a chance that there in anyway related." Ron added.
"Anyway, next we all have double Potions with Slytherin. And then after lunch Ron and I have Divination." Harry changed the subject.
" And I have Arithmancy when you two have Divination." The next two classes went as well as any other time.
Later that night, Harry, Ron , and Hermione where in the Gryfindor doing homework and chatting. As Hermione finished her homework, which was a considerably larger amount than Harry's and Ron's, she watched them as the struggled to make up unlucky dates for themselves for divination homework. Her mind was wondering though. She thought about what Liz had told her that morning, that Liz thought everyone was being very secretive. She also thought about the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and how she had the same last name as Liz. Noticing that the boys were finishing up, she decided to speak. " I think we ought not to be so secretive about everything around Liz. She told me this morning she noticed something was all "hush-hush" around us." Ron and Harry exchanged worried glances. " If we want to talk about our world, we should do it somewhere she's not around. I also think we should casually mention if she has any relatives that live in the U.S. with the same last name as her. And there's also the problem of-" When Harry let out an extraordinarily large yawn, she stopped and added, "Tomorrow morning off course." They all climbed the stairs to their dormitories and fell asleep almost immediately."
