On with the next chapter.

'thought' "speech

Pastletounge

************************************

"Hello Mr Dumbledore, it is a pleasure to meet you" said the young man holding out his hand.

"Nice to meet you to" said Albus taking the hand "please sit down and have a lemon drop"

"Thank you" the young man sat down and took the lemon drop as he sucked it he felt the effect of Verusilum taking over.

"so what is your name sir?"

'Harry Potter' "Jim Watson"

"How old are Mr Watson?

'16' "26"

"and where did you attend school and do you have any experience in DADA?"

'Hogwarts and only facing the dark lord oh 5 times and living to tell the tale.' "Salem school of wizardry. I have been studying DADA for 3 years an potions for 3 years also."

"Ah, well Mr Watson I am happy to say that would be happy have you in the Potions position. You will start on September the second if that suits you. You also are now head of the Slytherin house, which comes with the Potions job. I will call Severus and ask him to show you round and such. Severus was the old Potion Master here. He has been after the DADA position for years now."

"Thank you sir I am sure I will love it here."

And with that the man exited the room and went down the stairs to wait for Severus.

************************************

As Harry walked down the stairs from Dumbledore's office he heard the familiar brisk walk of Snape's shoes on the hard stone floor.

' Oh well at least I know he is still here. I wonder how people will react when they here that there is a new potions master only to know he is now teaching DADA.'

"You must be Mr Watson. Albus said that you are the new potions professor. I am curious to your abilities. If you will allow me I would like to test your ability before you start teaching."

"Certainly sir, I have heard great things about you, it would be an honour." Luckily for Harry during his stay at the Dursley's they had been stupid enough to leave his trunk in his room and he had been able to study through the holidays. That was until of course that was until July 31st his birthday. When everything changed.

**Flash Back**

Harry was sitting on his bed. It had been a horrible holiday. Lucky he had been able to do all his homework for Snape. He looked at the clock

11:59

One minute till his birthday. He sighed, another boring birthday with no presents except from his friends, and he couldn't even get presents from them this year the bars had been put on his windows again.

No owls had even come from his friends anyway.

12:00

As the clock hit midnight a searing pain shot through his body at the same time he felt a new power flow through his veins. Suddenly the room lit up with a blinding white light, but seemed contained to his room like it was in a box. He felt himself stretching and growing. 'Thank God for Dudley's over sized clothes.'

*****End Flash Back*****

That was how it had all started. Of course there had been many other changes like the new powers sudden knowledge and every thing but he could not think about that now.

He then realised that they were nearly at the potions classroom. As he walked in he saw the familiar classroom that he had always so loathed to be in and that he would now be teaching in everyday.

"right if you would please drink this it will tell me what level potions you are up to. I developed it myself." Said Snape holding out a blue- green potion.

Harry took it and drank it in one go. He felt the potion taking effect and he took hold of it he could not allow them to know his true potential. No let them think he was nearly as good as Snape but not as good.

"78 quite impressive Mr Watson only 4 down from me. You shall do nicely for the position. Allow me to show you around." With that Snape led him out of the room and continued to give him a tour of the dungeons. "Hear are your chambers to set the password just tell it to the portrait."

Harry looked at the portrait and saw Salazar Slytherin.

"Thank you Mr Snape I shall look forward to seeing you again."

"Yes well goodbye" and with that Snape stalked off down the corridor

"Hello Mr Slytherin."

"Ah another Speaker. Such a long time since the last one and even if he was my half heir I never did like him."

"Half heir?"

"Yes well he was half muggle. Not that I have anything against them just worried about muggles killing us off and all that."

"Oh well if you will excuse me I must get to work. May I set the password to Slytherin heir in Pastletounge?"

"Why of corse my heir."

"Thank you good bye."

"Goodbye"

Harry walked into the room and started to set it up with his gym, library, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen/ dinning area and living area.

He then sat down and started to work on lesson plans and his entrance for the feast.

I am soooo sorry that took so long but I have been finishing it hard to write and when I do write I can't think of much and I have been really busy with study boarding work assignments and all. I swear they don't want you to have a life. I mean what's a holiday when you have to work and study all through it?
