Chapter 27

A New DADA Teacher

"It's a miracle!"

"He's Alive!"

"Stop crowding him, Now really! Stop!" Professor McGonagall was trying to stop the people who were hoarding around him, "Stop that! Turn off those cameras! Please move back! Now really, oh, no, put him down this instant!" The crowd had lifted Dumbledore up on their shoulders and where parading him towards the village.

"If I might have a word. Please put me down, I would like to return to my school."

Hermione had run over to professor McGonagall

"Is he still the headmaster? I mean, when he died, you were pronounced the new headmistress, is he legally allowed to just be headmaster again?"

"I don't know, Miss Granger, but good lord, we have never hade a case like this before, oh dear, Please let him go!" She had run over there again.

Elsewhere, Harry and Ron were deep in conversation with Lupin

"Why does this come as no surprise to you? Ron asked Harry.

"I think it's because, we had so much trouble accepting he was gone, we where kind of expecting him to come back." Lupin answered.

"Yeah, besides, he's not the first person we've seen come back to life." Said Harry, who was referring to Sirius.

"Hey, maybe if those phoenixes could make Dumbledore come back, they could make Sirius come back!" Said Ron.

"And my parents!"

"Now boys, Sirius was killed by a vampira, even if he came back, he would be a vampire, and your parents bodies were destroyed, there is no way they could come back. Besides I think what we just saw here is something very special, and…"

"But Dumbledore was killed by a Vampira! Doesn't that mean he's a Vampire too!"

"So, Dumbledore's a good guy, he'd never do anything to hurt us."

"Boys, you don't understand, vampires are like werewolves, they're fine most of the time, but on full moons, they forget who they are, the monster within takes over. But at least with werewolves like myself there is a potion I can take to help me remember who I am. There is no such potion for vampires."

"That doesn't matter! McGonagall is like Dumbledore, she'll be willing to give him a chance."

"But what post can he fill?" Neva had just walked over.

"DADA! Every one knows that he is really powerful, and he can teach us all we need to know about the Dark Arts!"

But no sooner had Harry spoken the words, Lucius Malfoy slithered over.

"Pity isn't it. I mean, in this condition, how will he fulfill his post at the school?"

"The way he always has, Lucius." Said Lupin, icily.

"Ahh, Lupin, I didn't know monsters where allowed, this is supposed to be a formal gathering."

No sooner did the word 'monster' slip out Mr. Malfoy's mouth had Lupin pounced.

"Oh my god! The werewolf is attacking Lucius!"

"Children, move, he's dangerous!"

"Run!"

"Werewolf on the loose!"

"He's gone mad!"

"Run!"
