been reali busy this few days.Yep.So read on & review!!]
As Hermione lay in bed wide awake that night, she couldn't help but think about what Professor Mcgonagall was about to say.
"Professor Jake Watson. He's here for a reason. And it's not to teach us." Hermione mused.
"Oh my god! He's an Auror! His dad is in the Ministry! The only reason why they sent an Auror here is to protect us, especially Harry! Voldermort's back!" She cried out as she sat rigid on the bed. She quickly threw on a bathrobe over her pajamas and hurried to Draco's room.
"Draco? Open up. It's me, Hermione." She said urgently as she knocked on the door rapidly.
"Wait a moment." Draco's voice came out from beyond the door. Seconds later, the door opened.
"What's wrong? Do you know what time it is, Hermione?" He asked, hastily tying up his robe.
"Have you thought about what Professor Mcgonagall was about to say? I mean, during the meeting just now?" She asked, stepping into his room and looking around.
"Of course I've thought about it. I've been thinking about it all night. And I think I know what you're getting at. The Dark Lord's back. And Jake Watson is here to sort of protect us. Ain't I right?" He cocked his eyebrow. Hermione nodded.
"You know what we should do, Draco? I think. I think we should go to Professor Mcgonagall and Professor Dumbledore to ask. We're their Head Students, so they should have trust in us. Besides, we need to know." Hermione said. Draco agreed.
"But first, Hermione, don't you think we both should get some sleep? It's 3 in the morning, and classes begin at 7.30." Draco walked Hermione to the door and watched until she arrived at her own room. He waved and went to sleep.
~ Hermione's Point Of View. ~
"Good morning, guys." She greeted her best friends and their girls during Breakfast the next morning. They grinned up at her. She sat down at the table and nibbled on her bacon and eggs. Suddenly she caught sight of Professor Mcgonagall. She hurriedly waved to her buddies and hurried to the staff table. By the Slytherin table, Draco was doing the same. They met halfway and smiled briefly. Then they went up to the Professor.
"Professor, we really need to talk." Draco said to the professor. "And it'll be better if you bring Professor Dumbledore along." He added.
"What's wrong? Did something happen? " Professor Mcgonagall asked alertly. Next to her, the Headmaster turned. He raised his eyebrows.
"We'll go to my office straight-away, if this is really urgent." The headmaster abruptly pushed back his chair and walked out of the Hall. Professor Mcgonagall and the two students followed him.
"Okay, what's going on? Is everything all right?" The headmaster asked when they arrived at his office. He received no answer. He waited for all of them to settle down into their seats and repeated his questions.
"Everything is fine, Professor Dumbledore. It's just.why is Jake Watson here? Professor Mcgonagall let it slip that he is here for another reason besides teaching us. What is it?" Hermione leaned forward in her seat, her eyes wide.
"I think as your head students, we have the right to know what's going on." Draco continued for his partner. Hermione nodded, her eyes wide.
"Oh, well. I suppose we should tell them what's happening. Albus, why don't you begin." Professor Mcgonagall sat back in the couch she was sitting on, sighing.
"Very well, Minerva. Jake Watson is an extremely good Auror, but he's not well known because he's young and most people think that he's inexperienced. But in fact, he's faced death-eaters and sent them to Azkaban, under another name, John Welling. At that time he had on a hooded robe, so that no one would recognize him as Andrew Watson's only son. They look very much alike." Professor Dumbledore paused, shooting the other professor a glance. She took his cue.
"That's right. He's practically a younger version of Andrew. Anyway, when we heard about the Dark Lord being back, we were very much alarmed. We had the duty to protect all of you here in Hogwarts from him. We asked the Ministry for help, and Andrew Watson suggested we take his son in as a teacher. No one would suspect anything. As an Auror, Jake Watson could teach Defence against the Dark Arts splendidly. He adopted an American accent so his students would assume he's from America." The professor finished with a slight shrug.
"Even if Minerva hadn't let it slip, I would have still told you, sooner or later. I'm happy that both of you know the truth now. I trust you with the secret. And please look out for any unusual happenings in Hogwarts. If there's any, report to either Minerva or me immediately. The other teachers do not know about Jake's undercover. I think both of you better hurry to your History of Magic class. You wouldn't want Professor Binns to get mad. Give him these notes from me. It'll get you out of trouble. And Hermione, please ask Ginny Weasley and Harry to come down. Thank you." The headmaster ordered. Hermione nodded and stood up.
"Thank you, both of you, for confiding in us. We'll try our best to make sure Hogwarts is safe at all times." Hermione said.
"Yes, thanks. We better be going. See you later." Draco and Hermione left the office in silence, clutching the notes their headmaster gave them. When they arrived in the class, the two Head Students gave their notes to the mumbling teacher at the front. Draco walked to his seat at the back.
"Harry, Professor Dumbledore would like to see you & Ginny right now in his office." She said to Harry in a low voice. "Ginny is having Transfiguration right now. Pick her up from her class. Don't look so WORRIED Harry, I can assure you it's nothing horrible." Harry stood up, pale. Ron's eyes followed Harry to the door then they turned on Hermione.
"What's going on? Why did you and Malfoy had to go see Professor Dumbledore and Mcgonagall? Why are Harry and my SISTER needed there now? Were they caught snogging or what?" Hermione giggled softly at Ron's silliness and shrugged. She turned to the front and tried to comprehend what Professor Binns was saying.
