Twin Power
Chapter 5: Classes start
A/N: hey all, this is the next chapter of the kids. Hope you like it. —Donald
The next morning at breakfast, the Griffindor 1st years all sat together. They were eating breakfast quietly when the head of the house, Ginny Weasley handed them there schedule. They looked down at it and smiled. They found that they had DADA first, then double potions, and finally after lunch they had transfigurations. "Sounds like a fairly easy day, except the Double Potions. I hear that Professor Snape had calmed down over the years, ever since Voldemort's downfall, and he no longer had to be a spy for Dumbledore." Nicky said this with a smile.
Alex smiled at his sister wondering what there first day was going to be like. Knowing what his mother is like as a teacher, he didn't have to worry considering that she had kids that she has known for years in her 1st year griffindors.
The group got done with there breakfast and headed up to the DADA classroom where they were met by Professor Potter at the door. She led them into the classroom, sitting at her desk. She looked up at the class and smiled. "I know half the class, because my kids grew up with them, the ones I don't really know, except a couple of you, are you Ravenclaws. So if you would be so kind to introduce yourself when I call your name, so I will know who you are." Ginny smiled down at her class with kind eyes.
She started reading off names from a list she had, and learned that she had quite a few children of Harry's classmates in the class. She smiled at the next generation of students from her school days. "Ok everyone, first off, Chang, Conny."
"Here professor Potter." A cute little girl said from the front of the class. She was obviously Cho Chang's daughter. You could tell from the smarts that she had, and the smile she also had.
She named off about 11 more names and they were all there, and willing to learn. She was happy with her first class of 1st years this year, she didn't see any problems that she was going to have with these students. "Ok students, today we are going to study the movements and spell for minor invisibility. This spell will make you invisible for enough time to get out of the situation." Ginny smiled as she showed her students the movement and proper pronunciation for the spell, and wasn't surprised that most of the students were able to get it in the first or second try.
As Professor Potter was proud of her student's, not only didn't she give any homework that night, she also gave each house 40 points for there studious work and being able to do the assignment rather quickly. She let the class go, and went back to work. Alex, Nichole, Lynn and Bryce stayed back after the rest of the class left, telling Brandon and Liam that they would meet up with them at Potions, they had about a half hour before class started, so they thought they would talk to the Professor.
"Uhm, mom, Aunt Ginny, Ginny", this was all said by various people that were standing in the class room waiting to be acknowledged.
"Oh hi guys, did you need anything, or are you just sticking around to talk a bit before Professor Snapes class?" Ginny asked her brood with a smile. Even tho Bryce was considered her brother-in-law, she still considered him more like another one of her kids. Neither she, Ron, Harry or Hermione treated him any different from there own children except in the fact that he can call them by there first name, and had some privileges that the others don't. Bryce was thankful that he wasn't treated any different than the others really, because he didn't want to be treated differently by the other students. He was happy, and considered the others more like brothers and sisters, than as nieces and nephews.
"That was a fantastic class today. Will we be learning more like that throughout this year, or were you just teaching us this today because you have known practically the hole class all there lives?"
"Aren't you the observant one Nicky. Of course you will be learning like that more and more often, and I am not doing this just because I have seen you all growing up. I will be teaching the Hufflepuffs and Slytherins the same way. Why don't you all give me a hug then get off to class, I don't want to be blamed for the lot of you to be late to Professor Snapes class on the first day. He may have mellowed since we won the war, but he is still stern to late students." Laughing Ginny sent off the group with a hug and kiss sending them off to class. After they left she turned towards the person in the corner asking, "how long have you been standing there Harry?"
Headmaster Harry Potter stepped out of the corner and walked up to his beautiful wife saying, "not to long, I was just wondering if you wanted to go get some lunch down in Hogsmeade today? The staff and students won't miss us, and we will be back in plenty of time for your afternoon classes." Harry gave her a wide smile that she couldn't refuse.
"That sounds lovely Harry. I need to do some shopping anyway, my robes are getting a bit tight. This is going to be a big baby this time." Ginny and Harry walked hand in hand down to Hogsmeade to do some shopping and have lunch. Unbeknownst to them, they were being watched the whole time by a stranger in black. They were followed to wherever they went when they went off school grounds.
"Well Mr. Potter, you will find out about me soon enough. I will get my revenge on you and your family. Just you wait and see." He said this as a whisper where no one would be able to hear him, and suddenly disappeared.
Harry and Ginny were none the wiser about the stranger that was watching them at that time. If they had even noticed anything that he had said they would have recognized the voice, and had been afraid of him.
After lunch, Harry led Ginny up to the castle where she went to teach her afternoon class, and Harry went up to his office to do some paperwork. When Harry got to his office, he was surprised to see his old Headmaster standing in the office, with a worried look on his face.
"Albus, what brings you here today? Did we have a meeting today? What's wrong, you look worried?" Harry had said these three questions in quick secession before Dumbeldore could get a word in edgewise.
"Don't worry to much Harry, we didn't have a meeting planned today. What is wrong, is the same reason that I'm here. Someone has taken up and started watching you Ginny and the kids. The order has been tracking him and what he is doing, but we haven't been able to discern who he is. All that we know is that his name is, striker, and that he is a mercenary. Don't worry to much about what is going to happen, we will find him. Just be careful Harry."
"Another person after me and my family, just what I need. Well I will do what you ask Albus, of course. Just keep him away from my family ok."
"There is one more thing Harry, he left you a note." Albus handed Harry a note that had a neat scrawl to it. Harry wasn't sure, but he thought that he had seen this handwriting before, but wasn't sure.
"Thank you Albus, I will keep the school safe."
After Albus left, Harry picked up the note, and started to read it.
Dear Mr. Potter
I'm sure that you haven't expected to hear from me anytime at all. I assure you that I am very much alive, and getting ready to start another war. You and your friends and family have no way of beating me, so don't even try.
Good day to you Mr. Potter, I'm sure we will meet again some day.
Striker
Harry read the letter again and again, and went to bed that night wondering where he had seen that handwriting before, and why would striker be after him. As he fell asleep, he dreamt about that handwriting and just couldn't place it yet. At about 3 in the morning, he sat straight up and screamed "nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo". Harry had just figured out who wrote the note, and he was shaking badly when Ginny wrapped his arms around him saying soothing things in his ear. Harry was shaking as he handed the note to Ginny.
"You know who wrote this write Ginny, say it isn't him. Please say it isn't him, I saw him die. He couldn't have come back to haunt us, could he. Ginny please confirm to me that I'm not reading this right. Tell me that he didn't write that, that it's just a joke." Harry was really panicking now.
Ginny was just as scared, for yes she knew who wrote that note. Even tho it was impossible for it, he has come back from the dead to take his revenge on the ones that he thought done him wrong. ...........................
A/N: Ok everyone, sorry for the cliffhanger, but I found a side to me that I didn't know I had. I am going to put them in every couple of chapters. Not a whole lot of them, but a few. Thank you for reading and reviewing. —Donald
