Disclaimer: *sob, sob* this story is not mine even though I would like to own it. The story is all the work of J. K. Rowling. The characters and everything belong to her. But Seamus' cousin and her friend are mine.

Cara and Alex are the names of Seamus' cousin and her friend. Thanks to HyperCaz and Winlos03 for the names.

~~~ Chapter 4: First Lessons ~~~

Harry walked up the stairs to his dormitory, thinking about the Sorting Hats song. Why was it the same song it had sung in their first year?? Was there something going on??

He undressed and threw himself into his bed and pulled the hangings shut. But instead of going to sleep immediately like he had imagined, he tossed fitfully in bed. When he finally went to sleep, his dreams were filled with horrible thoughts of why the sorting hat had sung the song again.

When he awoke the next morning he felt like he wanted to sleep forever. He pulled himself out of bed and went down to the common room where he met up with Ron and Hermione and went down to breakfast. Mrs McGonagall was handing out timetables so he got his and piled his plate up with bacon and eggs. When he looked at his timetable he was surprised to find that the school system had changed. Then he realised that it was because of the N.E.W.Ts classes.

Harry didn't know what to think about this. First they were using full words and now they were using abbreviations! And they had changed the classes to 2 hours each instead of 45 mins. Harry was confused and didn't know what to think. However he checked his timetable and went along with Hermione and Ron to DADA, their first lesson.

It was only when Harry entered the classroom that he realised that Dumbledore hadn't said who the new DADA teacher was. He sat down at a table in the second row when the door opened and the DADA teacher came in. It was...........

*A.N. nooooooooo I didn't even mention anything about Cara and Alex, so you'll have 2 wait for that. Oh, yeh, I know you are probably groaning at your computer because I didn't tell you who the new DADA teacher was!! Sorry I didn't put it in, I just don't even know myself who it is........
