disclaimer: N...O...T...H...I, N, G, NOTHING! I own nothing, yes it's true, I own nothing, how 'bout you!? ok sry, but do you get it?
A/N: there has been an unexpected (to me, that is) twist in this story, so the title and the name of a chapter have been revised, but this is still the same story. No existing chapters have been removed or changed!
Harry didn't want to finish eating. He did not want to leave Hermione or Ron. But there was no use. He could not pick at an empty plate, he could not make his best friends wait forever without looking suspicious.
Harry, Ron and I are going to the library to do that Potions essay. Are you coming?" Hermione said in her usual matter-of-factly tone.
"Um, yeah, go on without me, you two. I'll catch up in a bit," Harry replied, hoping he didn't sound too nervous.
Obviously, he didn't, because Hermione and Ron left without another word.

"Harry, I can't lie to you anymore. I did not bring you here to meet someone." said the Mystery Professor.
"You-you didn't?" Harry said in disbelief.
"No, no, actually. I hope I didn't get your hopes up too high."
'Get my hopes up!?' Harry thought, in relieved shock.
"No, it's okay, I didn't know what to think, really. But, I'm confused...why are we talking out here, then?"
It was getting brutally cold out in the Forbidden Forest; it was so dark that Harry could not see his hands, much less the professor.
"Lu-"
Harry had started to light up the area, but the Mysetery Professor had not let him.
"No! We can't be seen!" He breathed deeply, then sighed. "The real reason I've brought you out here was to introduce myself."
Harry's relief disappeared completely. Who could this man really be?
"I know rumors have been flying about my lack of introduction. But the thing is, I told Dumbledore that I would rather inroduce myself in class."
'Great, this is going as I planned,' Harry thought wearily.
"But, as you all well know, I did not. I thought that people would have caught on, but they obviously have not."
'I haven't, have I?' crept through Harry's mind. But it didn't last long.
"The thing of it is, I told Dumbledore that I was Reco Dubay. He believed me. So, why did I not tell you this? It was because I knew who I really was; I could not stand to lie anymore. So, I casually 'forgot' that I hadn't been introduced"
Harry was getting tired of waiting...he wanted to get this over with.
"So who ARE you then?"
The Mystery Professor pointed his want at himself and muttered "Lumos" (so as Harry could see him), then "Finite disguisio."
Harry watched as the face of the Mystery Professor melted into a more familiar one.
Harry gasped.
hahaha! so...who is this mystery man? hmm...well, let's see? he's disguised, oh yes...well, im really tired now *yawn*, just woke up, so ill be right back with chapter 8...after a nice long power nap.
