Chapter 3: Hac (here)
Love reviews, sorry this chapter turned out to be shorter than planned. Next chapter will be a bit longer, promiss.
When Harry, Ron and Hermione arrived at Hogwarts, they never expected Dumbledore to be waiting for them, or actually waiting for Hermione. 'Miss Granger, I believe we have to talk about something,..' he said, just when the three were about to enter the Great Hall. 'Talk? U mean now? But what about the ceremony?' she asked confused. Dumbledore tipped his head to the right 'The ceremony can wait, this is important.' He turned to Harry and Ron. 'I expect you two to save a seat for Miss Granger,...' he said, while walking away, followed by Hermione.
'Wonder what that's 'bout?' Ron said, while putting down his trunks with the rest of the trunks. Harry lifted his shoulders. 'Dunno. Probably something important, or else Dumbledore wouldn't talk with her just before the ceremony'. The two boys made their ways into the Great Hall.
'What do you mean, I can't stay at Hogwarts?' Hermione was leaning with her hands on Dumbledore's desk, a bit uncomfortable position, but at least she could stare him in the eyes. Dumbledore made a soft nod, but Hermione didn't take enough with that. 'I want an explenation! WHY. AM. I. NOT. ALLOWED. TO. STAY. AT. HOGWARTS. !?' she was breating heavingly, with tears behind her eyes. He wasn't going to transfer her to another school. Not her. Not alone.
Dumbledore sighed a bit. She never saw him do that. But he did and added; 'You are being transfered because,... you are too smart for this school'. Hermione's jaw dropped. He was kidding. She was sure. But Dumbledore looked at her, with a really awefull calm and serious face.
The Great Hall was decorated with beautiful floating candles and the ceiling showed how the weather was outside; cloudy and a bit dark. Harry and Ron where sitting at the Gryffindor table, as usual and watched a rather sad Hermione sit down.
'What's wrong?' Ron asked, while seeing Dumbledore make his way to the head table. Hermione made a sniffing sound. 'I,...' but she couldn't finish because a couple of people started to shout at Harry.
'Harry is a git! He killed an innocent woman!' a girl screamed. Harry opened his mouth to shout back, but Dumbledore started to talk.
'May I have your attention, ladies, gentlemen, boys, girls and ghosts?' He looked around as the whole hall was silent. 'Good, then I want to make a view announcements. First of all, 4 Quidditch teams will stay at our school. These teams are from across the globe. I'll introduce the teams. First, the Toyashi Tengu from Japan, Heidelberg Harriers from Germany, Thunderlarra Thunderers from Australia and last but not least, a new team from the Netherlands; The Pumpkinpie Profs!' he took a break. 'these teams will enter our school in about two weeks' he looked around. Everyone was gaping at him, as if he just announced the school would close. He chuckled. 'And of course, the new DADA teacher,.. Mr. Weasley!'
Ron and Harry almost screamed of surprise and Hermione dropped her jaw again. A proud Mr. Weasley stepped in front of Dumbledore. Everyone clapped their hands, except for the Slytherin table. Harry could see Draco making faces as if he just puked and of course the whole Slytherin table followed his example. Harry threw Draco a destructive look. Ron never seemed so happy before and even the food tasted better than it ever did.
After the dinner, the three hurried up to the head table to congradulate Mr Weasley. Fred, George and Ginny were already there. 'But dad,.. how? I mean, you never told us!' George said while shaking his fathers hand proudly. 'Well, at my school I was pretty good at DADA,... and I actually used my spare time to practise. Dumbledore asked me ages ago,..' he said shy.
Back in the Griffyndor Common room, Ron and Harry were talking excited about Ron's father being the new DADA teacher. Hermione sighed and sat down in a chair. Suddenly, tears came streaming over her cheeks.
Ron and Harry both stopped talking and watched her sob. 'What's wrong Hermione?' Harry asked, while brushing some hair out of his face. Hermione opened her mouth, but the words came out a but stumbling. The only this they could understand was;
'I want to stay HERE!'
