Chapter 2: Thoughts and Introductions
Headmaster Dumbledore stood and looked over the four house tables. Their was only a small amount of Slytherins left. No doubt they're in service of the Dark Lord now. Hufflepuff had lost some students too, killed because of their parentage. (a lot of muggleborns were sorted in Hufflepuff)
The sorting ritual had already ended and Albus knew it was time for his yearly speech
"Welcome back everyone for a new year at Hogwarts. I hope your vacations were well and that you're up to a new year of ... studying (a loud groaning was heard in the great hall) and Quidditch ( now, the studentbody was cheering). First of all: the Forest is out of bounds for everyone who is fond off their lives." Albus announced
Albus glanced at Sybil, Divination teacher. She didn't look very happy and Albus couldn't blame her. She was about to lose a lot of students to a new subject, taught by Amanda. He saw Sybil throwing an ugly glance at Amanda: one that spoke of murder. He chuckled. Sybil always liked Divination, she told everyone she could see the future. Though she didn't see this coming. She was chatting with the Potions teacher (or at least TRYING) who kept glancing at the doors, waiting for a chance to escape to his dungeons. Fillus Flitwick and Esmeralda Sprout were discussing the newest edition of 'charming herbs', and Minerva McGonagall was pouting because she lost a cat- fight with Mrs. Norris two days ago.
"As you all know, Voldemort is still at large. There were several attacks involving muggleborns this summer and he's getting bolder every week, attacking even pure and halfblood wizards who had chosen to stand in Voldemort's way. Therefor I have decided to introduce a new subject this year" now the twinkle was back in his blue eyes. He looked at Amanda, who caught his glance and stood up. "Please welcome professor Saiya. She will be teaching you Martial Arts or simply hand-to-hand combat. It is a great way for you all to learn how to defend yourselves when your not able to use your wand. Because our tight planning, we have decided to give you a choice. Everyone who takes Divination will also have the chance to chose Martial Arts. In the coming war it is much more useful then Divination. There will be a demonstration next Wednesday. Everyone is welcome".
Now was Sybil really steaming. If Sybil's glances could kill, then would Amanda be burned and vaporised on the spot. But the new teacher was absorbed in her talk with Remus and simply ignored the angry seer. And to make things worse... the students were all cheering !!! (except for a handful of Ravenclaws, three Gryffindors and seven Huffelpuffs)
"As you can see has Remus Lupin joined us this year again as the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. He is the first in thirty years to teach this cursed subject for the second year in row."
Almost everyone was clapping for Lupin. Even the Slytherins had to admit that the guy was good in what he does. But still were the most cheers coming from Gryffindor table, more exactly the place were the 7th years were sitting. Remus smiled and gave a thumbs-up.
"I believe you're all famished. Tuck in everyone!!!"
((((( "WOW, I can't believe we're having Martial Arts this year!! It looks so much fun!" chirped Seamus.
"You're right" Ron smiled "Can't wait to see that demonstration. And it's a lot better than Divination. No ear-ringed skeleton with glasses this year! I'm going to take this class, what about you Harry?"
"Can't wait either" the black haired boy grinned "and at least we can USE the knowledge to defeat Voldemort"
"WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST PROFESOR TREWLAWNY???!! SHE'S A GOOD PERSON AND I LOVE HER CLASS!!!" Lavender screamed. Parvati was too angry to say anything and she just nodded.
"She's a FRAUD and you know it, Lavender" Hermione said without taking her eyes off her book.
"You're just jealous because you don't have the Inner Eye" Parvati huffed.
Now Hermoine lowered her book and looked Parvati in the eye. She raised her eyebrow while saying very smug: "I bet she didn't saw that one coming, with her (here she rolled her eyes)... Inner Eye who is never wrong."
She raised her book again, displaying the 'this discussion is over' look and took a few bites of her Chicken Nuggets plate. The rest of the table began conversing about the new subject. Ron looked up from his plate, annoyed that his friend was reading again and said with his mouth full: "Wat'cha readin' 'Moine" Harry shoved his plate away from Ron, not wanting the other boy's spit and food on this dinner. He too looked up at the book in Hermoine's hands, but the book was so old that it was impossible to read the title.
"I was chosen to assist professor Snape with a very special potion. I need enough knowledge about the subject so he gave me this book" she replied without raising her head
"What special potion?" Harry asked.
"Sorry guys, I can't tell you. Special orders from professor Dumbledore himself"
"eeeeeeuuww, you have to spend extra time with Snape" shuddered Ron who was thoroughly disgusted. "But..rather you then me"
Hermoine raised her head and looked at Ron with a dangerous glare "He's not that bad Ron. And stop speaking bad about him!"
Ron merely turned his head, looked at Harry and they both shrugged, resuming their dinner.
(((((
*When is that women going to SHUT ... UP!!* Snape thought sourly. The whole evening had she been jabbering about her precious class that was about to be divided, giving him a headache. Frankly, he didn't care about the stupid subject. He hates Divination. He was sunken in thought about the Granger girl. *Why does Albus have to pair me up with that Know-it-all. I can do this on my own. I don't need .. her .. help!* But no, Albus has told him that this new potion would be very important for the order. He said the recipe was very old and unique. Severus had wondered what was so special about a power-sharing potion, but the Headmaster had merely smiled and it his eyes had twinkled very suspiciously. Even more then normal. He looked at the Know-it-all while pretending to eat his steak. She was stuck with her head in a book again. He should've known that it was not save to lend her a book the first day of school. Potter and Weasley were busy stuffing their faces with food *why am I not surprised...?* She really had changed from a bushy big-toothed brat to a sparkling beauty. It would be nice working with her
*now where did that thought come from* he frowned
He shook his head.
*I really have drunk too much...*
He looked at the new teacher. Blue hair...he chuckled. How...original. But it suited her in a way. He really couldn't picture her with blonde or black hair. She was talking with Remus. He had a big grin on his face and looked ..in love.
*He deserves some happiness in his life*
He took his eyes of Remus and looked at her again
*How can a woman teach Martial arts?*
Her build was nothing special. But then, her robes were very concealing. She could be hiding a fighters body under her robes. Albus had asked for some volunteers for the demonstration. He agreed. He had followed Martial Arts himself when he was just a boy. When his parents passed away eight years ago, he decided to pick up his old habit. He had to admit that he had gained quite a figure with that...
*thank god for the robes. No one needs to know my hobby's*
He had heard that Hagrid and Remus too had volunteered for the demonstration. He thought back at the duelling-club fiasco with Lockhart and the satisfying way Lockhart had flown against the wall. He grinned. A Hufflepuff, who had raised his head to look at the staff table saw his grin and ducked his head, afraid that the Potion Master had finally lost it.
*Yes. If this woman is anything like Lockhart, then I have her on the ground in no time...*
