Chapter 19
A week after reinstating the DA Harry was bored even though he still had four classes to attend. During the following weekend, Harry visited Dumbledore hoping for something he was planing to do.
Once Harry was warmly greeted and sitting on a chair he made his request. "Professor, since I have so much free time and I have to stay here because of dangers outside the castle, I was wondering if I could help out the professors in Charms, Transfiguration, DADA, and Potions during my free time."
"Potions Harry?" Dumbledore asked, amused that Harry would try to work with Snape.
"Well, I need the practice in each class, even though I know almost as much as the professors," Harry said.
"Harry don't down play your abilities, you must know more then any of the professors," Dumbledore said knowingly.
"Sorry, I didn't want to sound like a know it all," Harry apologized.
"I know, and since you have passed those classes with NEWTs I will talk it over with the professors and if they want you to help them. I want to hire you as an assistant professor, with all the authority of a professor," Dumbledore said to a very shocked Harry.
"But professor, you don't need to pay me, I have more money than I can spend," Harry said, not wanting the pay.
"Harry, please accept this. Who knows when you might need the extra savings?" Dumbledore said as Harry reluctantly nodded.
"Then I will tell you by Monday which classes you'll be helping in Harry, but for now, would you fill out this application so I can hire you?" Dumbledore said, hinting that all the professors would agree to this.
On Sunday Harry found himself back in Dumbledore office. Dumbledore announced to him that he was accepted in all the classes as an assistant helper. His pay would be half of that of a professor then they planned on a schedule. Harry would join his six year classes as a assistant.
Monday morning Harry arrived in the Great Hall with his friends, whom Harry had not yet told what had happen, Dumbledore decided to make an announcement as everyone sat down to eat. "May I have you attention please?" Dumbledore called out and waited for silence. " I have an announcement about a fellow student who was accepted as an assistant professor. He will assist six year DADA, Charms, Transfiguration, and Potions. Please respect Professor Potter as you do to all the professors."
Dumbledore sat down as the Great Hall stayed in a stunned silence. Slowly the students realized who Professor Potter was and a commotion of congratulations from three houses resounded through the hall and boo's from the fourth house bounced off the walls.
As the day wore on Harry had a great time. During Charms, Transfiguration, and DADA Harry was allowed to teach a simple form of spell casting that made casting almost all spells easier. Thanks to him almost everyone had cast a perfect spell on their first try. Even in Potions Snape, to everyone's surprise, had allowed Harry to help the Gryffindors, while Snape helped the Slytherins.
To my readers, I receive some reviews concerning another sight, that has the stories Weapon Mages, and School of Elementals, by Mark Potter at harrypotterfanfiction.com, to let you all know, Mark Potter is another pen name I go by, and decided to have both stories place on this sight, so I don't need Mark's permission to use his stories.
Also if any of you are impatient to wait for my Beta read Weapon Mages to come out, go to Harry Potter Fanfiction, the sight has the complete story of Weapon Mages, just look under Mark Potter, but a warning, chapters 19-35, is not Beta read, so their Grammar is not perfect, but is readable, since I still got good reviews on them, with a added problems on Grammar.
Also this is part of a series, the next is called the Child of Light, wich I will be writting after School of Elementals, this one concern's Harry's daughter, which will be in chapter 20, hope you all like it also, and please review, I would like to hear your comments on my stories, good and bad, and thanks for reading my story.
