The more I reread the whole story, how stranger it becomes to me. It doesn't make sense at all.. But I'm gonna kill everything if you don't Review!

Chapter 4: Things can change over a nice hot meal

Harry entered the Great Hall followed by Ron and Ginny. They sat down at their normal places. Harry looked around if he saw Hermione somewhere and just saw her enter with Viktor Kruml. They walked to the far end of the Gryffindor table. She didn't give him a single look. That even got him angrier.

Cho entered the Great Hall with a few of her best friends. She walked over to Harry and sat down next to him. "Hi Harry, how've you been?" she asked him kindly.

"I've been fine, how about you?" he said with his utterly best mood.

She raised her eyebrow "It doesn't look like you're in a good mood... "

"I don't want to talk about it, and especially not with you." he said brisk.

"Why DON'T you talk about it?! I want to know it too!" Ron encouraged.

"Okay, it's all kind of strange ... " Harry began. "It's got to do with Draco and Hermione ... "

Ron's face went green of disgust. "You ... you don't mean ... THAT?!!"

"Probably. And that's the reason I'm so mad!" Harry replied.

"Could somebody please tell me where this conversation is heading?" Ginny asked.

"I don't understand either ... " Cho said confused.

Harry sighed "I saw Hermione and Draco talking together in a non-insulting way. Which is completely the most rarest and strangest thing in this world."

Cho's eyes widened and Ginny smiled a bit vaguely.

"Wow,... and you're sure you didn't dream that all? It was a LONG way to Hogwarts, you know!" Ron said very hopefull.

"I'm pretty sure that I didn't dream it, because Hermione is not sitting here with us, see?" Harry informed him.

Cho nodded her head and began searching the hall for Hermione's face, and saw her sitting with Viktor. "Well, at least she ISN'T sitting with Draco either" Cho said, pointing to the 'happy-couple'.

"And that's a relief,..." Ginny said with a grin, looking very happy with herself.

"Seriously, I don't get what the problem is, Harry's been acting so strange lately" Hermione said, while staring in Harry's direction.

"You shouldn't bother it. I'll keep avay all little guys that keep annoying you!" Viktor said protectively.

"You're ever so kind" Hermione responded with a gentle smile.

"May I have your attention please?" Dumbledore was standing in front of the Great Hall, trying to get everyone's attention.

"Well, now that I got you all listening. I want to start with introducing three new teachers, who will teach the subjects 'Defense against the Dark Arts', 'Magical Music' and 'Bewitched Grooves'. Those last two subjects are new this year."

He stepped aside, so Harry and Ron could both look with disgust at the man standing behind him. The man was no one less than Lucius Malfoy.

"WHAT'S HE DOING HERE?!" yelled Ron and Harry looked as he was about to puke.

"Lucius Malfoy is going to teach you Defense against the Dark Arts" Dumbledore answered.

Lucius grinned and nodded his head a bit. He looked at Harry and Ron, sneering and stepped back again, surveying the whole Hall from there.

"Now,... for your other new teachers,... the new teacher for Magical Music is Miss Ayumi Hamasaki" Dumbledore introduced a rather small Asian girl, with large eyes and lbrown hair. She had a very big smile and waved at everyone.

"She lookes like that famous singer I once saw on MTV,... that's a Muggle music station,..." Ron said and looked again.

"How do YOU know, you got Muggle television at home then?" Cho asked surprised and Ron got a bit flushed.

"And your last new teacher, teacher of Bewitched Grooves, Miss Kwon BoA" Dumbledore looked at another Asian girl with long black hair and really sporty clothes. 'Hi!' she waved.

"I know her! She's very famous in my country, Korea that is." Cho said, slightly surprised by their new teacher.

Dumbledore silenced the Hall again and went on. "Now as you all know, this year is going to be rather tough, the school, however, will remain as safe as possible. Enough with the talking, let's bring the food!"

After dinner, Ron stayed to talk with Harry and Cho walked down the corridors. At the same time Viktor and Hermione walked out of the Great Hall and met Harry and Cho there.

"Cho!" said Viktor surprisingly happy. Hermione raised one eyebrow.

"Viktor!" Cho replied happily. "I've missed you!"

"Hold on, wait a sec ... missed?!" Harry asked shocked.

"Well, uh ... we met this summer at a Quidditch play ... and we 've kind of ... been seeing each other since." Cho started.

Hermione's eyes grew so big, Harry was afraid that they were going to pop out every second now.

"You've been seeing each other?! For how long?" she said in disbelief.

"Uh... vor about 1 month" Viktor replied sheepishly.

"OH! And I suppose you just FORGOT to tell ME?!" she yelled at him.

"I vas going to tell you, but there never vas a good time.' He excused.

Cho grabbed him by the arm and dragged him with her. "Let's get out of here!"

"I don't need to see you again Viktor!!' Hermione cried after him.

Hermione felt like as if she could die any moment now. Harry just looked at the ground. "Well... " he began. "I didn't expect that." At that Hermione began crying. Harry looked hopelessly.
