A/N: Whoo who! I have one review so far. I usually wouldn't update my story
with only one review, but since I'm leaving tomorrow morning, and am not
100% sure I'll have internet access so I'll give you the next chapter now.
~*~*~*~*~
The next day Harry once again awoke, this time with a start. He had been having such a wonderful dream, although at the moment he couldn't really say what it was about. He slowly came to realize there was someone in his room with him. It wasn't the nurse, it was someone he hadn't seen since his days of Auror training after Hogwarts.
It was Albus Dumbeldore. The old man was sitting in a chair next to Harry's bed, reading a book. As Harry turned his head to look at him, he slowly closed his book and said,
"Oh, glad to see you wake, Harry" he said calmly.
Harry sat up, reaching for his glasses and putting them on he felt much better, everything was clear. "Hullo Professor." He tried to say happily, but sounding groggy.
"I would ask how you are, but I think it's rather obvious considering you're here." Dumbeldore said gesturing the room.
Harry smiled. "I feel a lot better than I sound." He said a little more cheerful, it didn't take much time for Harry to be awake and fully coherent.
"I'm very happy to hear it Harry, but how in heavens name did you get here." Dumbeldore said looking Harry in the eye.
Suddenly Harry looked worried. "Do you remember what happened Harry?" Dumbeldore asked him.
"Not really. I know, or think anyway, that it had something to do with Lucius Malfoy." Harry said crinkling his brow, trying hard to remember.
"Oh, ok this may refresh your memory." He said understanding what may have landed Harry in the hospital.
"We gained the knowledge that Draco Malfoy had been captured by the last reaming active group of Death Eaters, the leader of this group being a one Mr. Lucius Malfoy. But this is the extent of my knowledge."
Then Harry began to remember.
The ministry had told Harry that Draco had gone missing, while on the hunt for this last group. Having been tracking the movements of them for the last several weeks, Harry decided, even though he hadn't see Draco in several years, it was his duty as friend, and Auror, to help him.
Harry had followed their trail to near the coast to Scotland. He had confronted the group and attacked Lucius, but the others in the group attacked him. Suddenly Draco had immerged from the crowd rather week looking, but still mustered up the strength to attack his father. Draco had cast Avada Kadavra on him.
Harry had been hurt very badly, and Draco had brought him here before succumbing to the effects of near starvation, and days of constant tourture.
"IS DRACO OK!" Harry almost yelled.
"Clam down my boy. Draco is alright, as a matter of fact he is in the room two doors down if you would like to see him in a bit. But I have one other thing to ask you."
Harry looked at him questioningly. "Shoot." He said, wondering what on earth he had to tell him.
"Well Harry. I have some VERY good news and some not-so-bad, bad news"
Harry nodded.
"The good news Harry, is that with the death of Lucius Malfoy, the battle between dark and light has been won. By the light of course." He said with a definite gleam in his eye. "but Harry you do realize after riding the world of Death Eaters, you'll be put on un-paid, reserve."
Harry nodded once again.
"Do you have any idea what you're going to do to make a living?" Dumbeldore asked the man he considered a grandson.
"Not really, I just figured I'd live off my savings until I found a job.somewhere."
"Harry, I want to make you a proposition. You have been the ministry's best Auror since Moody, or, well, since Moody lost his touch." Dumbeldore chuckled.
"And the wizarding world can't have one of its best working at Flourish and Blots, or the Three Broom Sticks. What good would that do, your talents, and years of training would go to waste. Harry, I would be honored if you would come teach Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts." Dumbeldore said with a grin.
Harry was shocked. "But professor, I don't know the first thing about teaching." He said to Dumbeldore.
"Don't worry my boy, you'd do just fine. Just flip through the books to know what each year is to learn, and tell them what to do in each situation." Dumbeldore said reassuringly.
"Well in that case," Harry said a little more cheerfully "I'd love to take the position of DADA professor. Thank you very much Professor Dumbeldore."
"Harry how many times after graduation, did I tell you to call me Albus. You are no longer a student, as a matter of fact you are now a college."
"Yes sir, I am aware. Force of habit I suppose, and a show of great respect."
The two then sat and talked for several more moments before Dumbeldore excused himself to leave.
"Term starts in three weeks Harry.er.Professor Potter," Dumbeldore said with a smile and small chuckle. "I expect to see you in two."
"Yes sir, Profess.er.Albus." Harry said as he waved goodbye as Dumbeldore apperated back to Hogwarts.
~*~*~*~ A/N: Ok kind of a short chapter, but I wanted to get ONE of the several surprises to come, before I have to leave, and it maybe several days to maybe a week before the next chapter is up. So be patient. And I love all of your reviews. Even tho I only have 2 currently. Lol. REVIEW!!!!!!!
