Chapter 3: Hogwarts begins.
Harry had been so excited for everyone's return to Hogwarts, it had been a week since his training with Magnata, and he knew everything he needed to know to teach that year. Nobody else had a clue who was going to be teaching and Harry really wanted to see the expressions on everyone's faces when they found out it was him. Everyone would be arriving tomorrow and he knew they would just be packing up now. Harry got to sit up with the teachers for the sorting ceremony tomorrow and he was just too excited to think. He had all of his first lessons planned, and he could wing off what he hadn't planned on encountering. O how excited he was. Ron and Hermione were all ready for their first days also. Hermione, who was freaking out about her hair, was so busy with her summer reading that she didn't seem to notice that school would be starting so soon.
The next day Harry was shaking constantly. Everyone was just getting off the train. Harry could hear them. He was just hoping that he would not be looked upon differently among the students. He did not want to have to go back to a dorm where everyone called him professor. He hadn't even thought about taking away points. If anyone was misbehaving he would be forced to punish them. But that is what Ron and Hermione were supposed to be doing and they didn't? He was just killing himself with all his worrying and thinking. He decided to just enjoy the meal and worry about everything later.
The feast started off with the sorting ceremony. The hat sung a song of no really great value to anyone. It was more or less saying that everything will be back to normal and we shall not worry. This did not sit well for Harry. He knew something was going to happen to him, he was the Defense teacher! But he assured himself that this year was going to be great no matter what. He would make it great. The Announcements came along. Harry could just hear the students, "Why is Harry up there with the teachers? Why is he so special? Maybe it's special treatment. Why?" It made Harry very nervous.
"As you know, we have many new teachers here at Hogwarts this year." Dumbledore was doing his introductory speech. "We have Professor Marnikle in special aid, which is a new program here at Hogwarts. We also have Professor Trelawny back to teach Divination, but along side that for fifth years and above we have Firenze, for Astronomy and Starlarchy." Harry really wished to know what "Starlarchy" was but no one asked questions, they all assumed that it would be explained in class. Everyone was turning to Harry, that is all they wanted to know about. Harry.
"Oh, I see you have noticed Mr. Potter here, well, he will be teaching Defense against the dark arts this year, and will be teaching after meals, just before bed hour, and in the morning just before classes. Your age group will be getting a note as to when you shall be seeing him." That was all. Harry looked around al everyone's faces. They were just gaping at him.
That night after dinner Harry checked the Quidditch boards to see if he would be on the team this year.
"Angelina Johnston has resigned her position as captain, Harry Potter will take her place for the next two years." Harry remembered that it was Angelina's last year at Hogwarts last year, so she wouldn't be returning. But captain! Harry was going to be the captain! He had so much to do this year. It nearly seemed like too much. But soon after Ron came running towards him to ask if he was still on the team. Harry simply replied with a, "yeah, yeah your on it." Harry was still in shock.
"Oh yeah! Who's captain? Angelina had her last year, well, last year and I just can't wait to start up, she was the only one other than you who believed in me so I just don't know what I'm going to do if she isn't coaching. The rest of the team thinks I'm just a-"Harry quikly cut in, "Well if you think we were the only ones who didn't think you stank then you should be very happy to hear that I am the captain." Ron just stood there, his eyes were side and it almost looked as though they were about to pop out of his head.
"Harry, that's, that's, amazing! You are gonna be loaded this year! You can even get the field whenever you want it, 'cause you're a teacher and all..." Harry grinned. This was going to be a great year.
