Hi! I'm so glad that you all like this story. I thought that I was going to have so many flames. I fixed the little problems just like you wanted me to and I hope things will go smoothly from now on. I only own the plot and new characters.

Harry looked up at the ceiling too and noticed a somewhat big rain cloud.

"I'm sure Hagrid will look after them. Remember when we rode across?" asked Harry.

"Oh Harry that was so long ago. I can't remember." Said Hermione, smiling.

"No come on, I know you know." Harry said, urging for the answer.

"Alright, I almost slipped coming out of the boats. I couldn't help it." Hermione said quickly, her cheeks a bright pink.

"It's alright, I almost got expelled the next year. And almost killed by a dragon." Said Harry, wincing at the memory of the dragon in his fourth year.

There was a long silence in which Annabelle gave a loud shriek and started making bubbles.

"Is she always this happy and loud?" asked Hermione as professor McGonagall put down the three legged stool.

"Most of the time. She's never done that before though." Said Harry, wiping her mouth off.

Professor McGonagall left again and came back moments later with a long line of first years. Harry spotted Caden out of a bunch of brown heads and pointed him out to Hermione.

"There's Caden right there." Said Harry proudly.

"Wow, he has eyes just like yours and a mixture of Alyssa's and your hair right?" asked Hermione.

"Yeah. Annabelle looks just like her mum." Harry replied looking back at her.

"Cadoo!" shrieked Annabelle.

Harry spun his head around so fast he thought he heard it crack.

"What did she just say?" asked Hermione, rubbing her neck.

"I think she was trying to say Caden. I yell it so much, no wonder it was her first word. Caden will be very happy to hear her say it." Said Harry, looking back at his son.

McGonagall started to talk and the room went quiet.

"Ok, when I say your name you will come up here and I'll place the sorting hat on your head and you shall be sorted into your houses. The houses are, Gryfindorr, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw." Said McGonagall.

Harry crossed his fingers under the table. Hoping for another Gryfindorr in the family. Although it wouldn't be so bad for him to be in Hufflepuff like his mother.

Some other children were called up.

Alex Sprite made it to Ravenclaw. Kimi Chong made it to Slytherin. Finally Professor McGonagall called up, Potter, Caden.

He walked up boldly and put on the hat that completely covered his eyes. All of a sudden he heard a voice and thought that it must be the sorting hat.

"Not a bad mind I see, courageous. And a thirst to prove yourself, I can also see a way of always getting into trouble. But where to put you. I think I'll put you with the; HUFFLEPUFF'S!" Exclaimed the old hat.

Harry's tension vanished all at once for he knew that the sorting hat was never wrong. He gladly clapped with all the others while his son went to go sit with his fellow Hufflepuff's.

"Are you alright Harry?" Asked Hermione, before Dumbledore stood up.

"Yeah I'm fine. I guess he's more like his mother than I thought." Said Harry, almost laughing.

"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts. I'm pleased to see the old and new faces this year. Before we begin our wonderful feast, I would like to welcome two new teachers this year. Professor Granger and Professor Pearson. Professor Pearson will be taking over Divination and Professor Granger will be taking over charms. And one last thing, we have a guest with us, the young daughter of Professor Potter. Her name is Annabelle. Now let's eat." Said Dumbledore, tossing his snow- white beard behind his shoulder.

Food popped up from the golden plates and Harry first looked over at his son. He seemed to be making friends quickly with the people around him. With Annabelle squawking loudly Harry quickly put little spoonfuls of masked potatoes and baby food on her plate. Harry magiced the spoon to feed her while he ate and talked to Hermione.

"He seems to be doing alright don't you think?" asked Harry, frequently checking on his son.

"Harry, of course he's going to be alright. He's your son remember, he can get out of anything, except maybe my class." Said Hermione, smirking.

"Oh 'Mione please don't fail him. Let at least scrape past a little." Harry said pleadingly.

"Harry please, I'm a professional. I don't let outside live get in the way of my work." Hermione answered, checking on Annabelle.

Harry smiled and they finished eating until the food dissolved and pastries and pies came up. Harry took three lemon squares and a few cupcakes for Annabelle. Right now she had pumpkin pudding smeared all over her face and hair.

When the last crumb disappeared from the golden plates, Dumbledore stood up once more and made one last speech.

"First years follow your house prefects to your dormitories and have a pleasant night." Said Dumbledore, walking down the steps slowly followed by the other teachers.

Harry was carrying a sticky Annabelle in his tired arms.

When they got to the third floor Harry said goodnight to Hermione and went up two more flights of steps before getting to his own room.

"Did you enjoy yourself tonight princess?" Harry asked Annabelle, after he tucked her into bed with a bottle of warm milk. No longer sticky thanks to a bath.

She looked up at him with sleepy eyes and rolled over with her teddy bear. Harry crawled into bed and listened to the night lull him to sleep.

(HUFFLEPUFF DORMS)

Caden was lying in his black sheets and yellow comforter in his bed by the window. He had to admit Hogwarts was nothing he dreamed it would be. The school was a thousand times better than he had ever hoped. He was in the same house as his mother and would get to have his first class with his father.

With these thoughts he slowly went to sleep.

The next morning, Harry dressed bright and early. This was going to be a good day; he would get to be with his son for an hour and 10 minutes. He quickly dressed and dressed Annabelle in her favorite blue and yellow dress with the little shoes to match. He packed a whole bag for her and a blanket.

Harry rushed down the hall to his classroom and set up a play pin for her and placed all her stuff in the pin and rushed down to eat breakfast.

"Harry, calm down would you. You look like you just ran into Fluffy again." Stated Hermione, her hair in an elegant bun tied up with flapping crystal butterflies.

"I like your hair things." Said Harry when he caught his breath.

"Thank you Harry. I got one for Annabelle if it's alright?" asked Hermione, taking out a small one with pink and blue wings.

"Um, sure go ahead, just make sure she can't reach it." Said Harry, as food came up through the plates.

Harry ate quickly, wanting to get to class in a hurry. Hermione finished first, all she ate was toast and eggs.

"Wish me luck, I have the 7th year Gryfindorr's and Slytherin's." said Hermione, pouting like a little girl.

"Good luck." Harry said, giving her the peace sign as she walked to class on the second floor.

Harry looked at Caden for a while. He had to admit he did fit in well with the Hufflepuff's. The yellow and black looked very grownup on him. Harry smiled inwardly and pulled Annabelle slowly out of her seat and headed towards his class.

(DADA ROOM)

"Ok sweetheart. Here are your toys so that you can play. I'm going to have a class now and I want you to be on your best behavior." Said Harry, putting a name tag size piece of parchment on each table.

Annabelle put her fingers to her lips and said "Shush."

Harry smiled back at her and finished what he was doing. The loud class bell rung and Harry opened the doors for the students to walk in through. He caught Caden's eye and waved at him. When everyone had settled down Harry began.

"Good morning class. I'm Professor Potter and I shall be your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. You can either make this class fun, by paying attention. Or you can make this class hard by not paying attention." Harry said, stopping to let his words soak into their minds.

"You shall face some of your worst enemies in this class and you will also learn to deal with them. The paper that you have on your desk is for you to please write your names on them and come up and take a notebook. These notebooks shall only be used in this class. We will fill them with notes and your own opinions, to be turned in at the end of every week. The paper is sticky, put the paper on the front of the notebook so that I'll know it's yours. Then we shall begin." Said Harry, handing a book to a girl with a dazed look as she walked by Harry.

When Caden walked up he waved at Annabelle who yelled out, "Cadoo"

"No Annabelle it's Caden." He said, pointing to his nametag.

"Cadoo, Cadoo!" Annabelle yelled out again.

"Give it up son, it's only her first word." Said Harry, handing another boy a notebook.

When everyone had gotten a notebook, Harry tapped his wand on the board and neat print showed up.

' This year we shall be learning about, redcaps, hinkky punks, boggarts, werewolves, the giant squid, mermaids...'

The list went on and on. Harry walked around the room listening to the sounds of new quills working away at what was written on the board. Harry took his first points off of a Ravenclaw for poking a little girl Hufflepuff in the neck with a wet quill.

"But Professor Potter, this isn't fair." Wined the girl.

"Not fair is it. You were bothering her for no reason at all. Don't let me catch you doing that again in this class or in my presents or it will be more than just 3 points." Harry said, sternly. His bright green eyes flashing.

When he walked away, Caden leaned over to talk to the Ravenclaw.

"I would listen to him. When he says something he means it. I live with him." Said Caden.

"Is he your stepfather or something. Or your cousin?" asked the girl snobbishly.

"No, he's my dad." Said Caden, snapping back because Annabelle was about to crawl over to him.

The girl looked at him with wide eyes.

"Are you serious?" she asked, writing her notes still.

"I don't joke about stuff like that. And Annabelle's my baby sister." Caden said, raising his hand.

"Oh."

"What can I do for you Mr. Potter?" asked Harry, bending down.

"Can you move Annie please, she's chewing on my robes." Said Caden, looking down at Annabelle, who he called Annie for short.

"Of course." Said Harry, picking her up and moving her to another spot.

She wandered around the class for a while before going back to Harry so that he could pick her up.

"What a cute baby Professor. What's her name?" asked a girl with blond curls named Beth.

"Thank you Beth. Her name's Annabelle. You'll have time to play and talk with her during the 30 minute break that we have after lunch." Said Harry, erasing the board with a swoosh of his wand.

"Ok class the first thing we will learn about is werewolves. Does anyone know anything about them, please raise your hand if you think you have the answer." Said Harry, pulling his glasses out of reach.

A boy in Hufflepuff named Eric raised his hand first.

"Yes Eric. What is a werewolf?" Harry asked again.

"A werewolf is a person that has been bitten by an actual wolf during a full moon. Werewolves are extremely dangerous to humans, for one bite or scrape can cause you to transform." Said Eric proudly.

"That's a perfect answer but you're missing just one thing. Why do they only transform only during a full moon, Lisa?" Asked Harry tapping the board and the words that Eric had said appeared and the class started to copy them.

"Only on a full moon will they transform because, something like that only happens once in a while. It is said that crazy things happen during a full moon and one of those things is the attack of the werewolf." Lisa said, shining with glee.

"That's the bit you were missing Eric. Well good job both of you, 10 points to each house." Said Harry, putting a sleeping Annabelle into her pin.

It turns out that Lisa was the girl that Caden was talking to. When everyone had copied what was on the board Harry assigned his first homework assignment.

"Ok class, by next Thursday I want to see this diagram of this werewolf turned in on my desk. Label all the parts that are mentioned in your textbook chapter one page 7. Caden please stay after class." Said Harry as the bell rung for everyone to leave.

Caden stayed behind and went to talk to his dad.

"Alright, what did you think of my first class?" asked Harry, getting more notebooks and sticky parchment.

"I really liked it dad. I'll try and answer some questions tomorrow. I haven't had the time to read any of these books yet." Said Caden, wiping the board for his father.

"What's the next class going to be learning?" asked Caden as he saw Harry take out a live bat and place it on his desk.

"They will be 7th years coming from Hermione's class. So they should be learning Vampires. And get a move one, I hear Her-, I mean, Professor Granger will be teaching a levitation spell today. She gives out homework journals that yell at you and she gives a lot of reading and book work, so good luck Caden." Said Harry, waving at him as he walked out of the room.

A/N: WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THIS NEW CHAPTER. I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO WRITING THIS CHAPTER AND THE NEXT ONE WILL BE ABOUT HERMIONE'S CLASS AND THEN IT WILL HAVE CADEN FIGURING OUT SOME THINGS.
