Harry, Ron, and Hermione were in Kings Cross station, talking excitedly as they walked towards platform nine and three quarters. Harry and Hermione had spent the last few weeks of their summer at the burrow with the Weasleys. They are now in their sixth year. The three of them had grown a lot. Harry and Ron had become tall and were almost the same height. Hermione, too, had grown a lot taller, but she wasn't as tall as the boys. She still had her bushy brown hair. Harry still had his messy black hair the same way it had been since he was young. Ron had grown taller than Harry by a few inches. His freckles were less visible, and he had grown a little more mature. Just a little.
The three of them had reached platform nine and ten. Each of them, with their own carts, went through the wall casually one by one, to not attract attention. They got through the wall and made their way to the scarlet train. They went past many compartments, but all were full. They continued searching when they found one that wasn't full, but it wasn't completely empty either.
The trio stared at each other as they saw the man in the compartment. He was sitting by the window, and was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed. They did not know whether to leave or join him.
"You three can come in. You won't be bothering me." The man told them without opening his eyes or shifting his position.
The trio was bewildered. They did not know how he could have known they were there. They had not made any noise, and if they did, how did he know that there were three of them.
"Bloody He---" Ron was poked in his ribs by Hermione before he could continue.
Three of them were still at the doorway; they were too surprised to move. The man laughed silently and turned to look at them. He looked at them intently, as if he had missed them and were glad to see the trio again. Harry noticed that he had short black hair with bangs and brown eyes. He was thin, but looked strong and he wearing a dark blue robe.
"Come in." He said gesturing them to enter.
The trio entered with their trunks and pets cautiously. Harry sat across the man, while Hermione went to it next to Harry. There was no space for Ron to sit next to Hermione and he had to sit beside the man. Ron sat uneasily next to him. Hedwig started to hoot loudly as a protest to get out of the cage. Harry usually would not open it, but this time, Hedwig looked desperate.
Harry opened the cage, and Hedwig instantly flew out of the cage and onto the man's arm and started to nibble his finger affectionately. "Hey Hedwig." The man said surprising everyone. He continued to stroke Hedwigs head.
"You know Hedwig?" Harry asked obviously very surprised. Hermione and Ron were staring at Hedwig in shock.
"Yup, haven't seen her in quite a while." He replied still looking at Hedwig. He then looked at Harry.
" James Lutter." He paused, still looking at Harry and continued, "You must be Harry Potter." Harry nodded but was not surprised at this, since many people knew him.
"You two must be Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley." James said looking at Hermione and Ron. Hermione smiled, but Ron stared at him.
"I have to go now." James said standing up and handed Hedwig to Harry. As he was about to walk out he turned around and looked at Harry. " There is going to be a big surprise for you tonight Harry" He said before walking out again.
"Ron, you might want to borrow a book called Owl Care by Arthur Caely for Pig. You might need it tomorrow." James hinted, pointing to the cage that was covered by a dress robe, and left.
"How did he know I call that owl Pig?" Ron wondered aloud.
"What did he mean by big surprise?" Harry added.
"How did he know our name?" Hermione continued.
"How does he know Hedwig?" Harry wondered.
"How did he know we were at the doorway? He did not even open his eyes to look!" Hermione added again.
"What did he mean I might need the stupid book?" Ron said, moving next to the window where James previously sat to face Harry.
The questions remained unanswered and they sat in silence thinking.
"Do you think he is a new Hogwarts teacher? Harry asked, breaking the silence.
"Most probably" Hermione answered as she snapped out of her thoughts.
"What subject do you think he is going to teach?" Harry asked again.
"Most probably Divination, he seems to predict things." Ron answered, and added, "which might not be true."
The Trio laughed as they tried to replace Trelawny with an image of James teaching divination and predicting everybody's death.
" What if his predictions came true?" Hermione asked.
" I don't know. Lets just wait and see." Ron suggested while looking at pigwidgeon. ____________________________________________________________________________ _
Harry, Hermione and Ron stepped off the train as the doors opened. Harry looked around for Hagrid while Hermione and Ron had gone off to get a carriage. When he saw the giant figure, he quickly ran towards him.
"Hey, Hagrid!" Harry greeted.
"Hi there, 'arry." Hagrid replied.
"Why aren't yeh with yeh friends? Yeh better urry' there is goin' ter be a uge' surprise fer yeh." Hagrid said directing Harry to the carriage.
"I better get goin then, bye Hagrid" Harry waved and ran towards the carriages. As he was about to enter a carriage with Hermione, Ron and Neville, he saw James greeting Hagrid like an old friend. "Weird" Harry muttered to himself before going into the carriage. ____________________________________________________________________________ __
As the trio entered the great hall, all three of them kept looking at the staff table as they went to the Gryffindor table. They were all searching for James. They sat at the table quietly till thinking about James.
"I don't see him anywhere." Ron said looking at the teacher's table. Harry and Hermione knew who he was looking for as they were looking for the same person.
"Look!" Hermione said, still looking at the teacher's table.
Harry and Ron saw who she was looking at as they looked at what she saw. It was James. He walked to his seat and sat down. He looked up and saw them looking at him and he smiled at them before looking away.
Harry, Hermione and Ron looked away knowing he saw them looking.
"He saw us!" Hermione said. "I know." Harry said.
"So far non of his predictions came true yet," Ron added.
"I have a feeling it might. Hagrid told me I was going to get a surprise tonight." Harry replied.
"He did?" Hermione asked.
Before anyone could answer, the doors opened, and Professor McGonagall came in with a line of year ones following behind her to the top of the hall. She placed a stool in front of them and placed the Sorting hat on the stool. The sorting hat began Singing. After its song, Professor McGonagall took out the parchment and began telling them the instructions before calling out their names.
After the sorting was done, Dumbledore stood up.
"I would like to say a few words before the feast begins." Dumbledore announced looking around and continued, "I would like to introduce you to our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor James Lutter." Students clapped as a welcome. "We would also be having another Defense Against the Dark Arts, Professor -- -"
Harry could not hear the other teachers' name, as the clapping was too loud. The only thing he could hear afterwards were Dumbledore saying, "He is not here yet." And "Tuck In"
Food began to appear on the plates, but before anyone could reach out to grab the food, the Great Hall doors opened. Harry turned to see who was at the door; he was surprised just like everybody else when he saw who had entered the Great Hall.
