Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Harry Potter but I wish I did
NOW ON TO CHAPTER 2 !
Harry landed in the Forbidden Forest with a big thump.
'It's pretty dark out here' Harry thought as he looked around.
"Well might as well get walking"
IN THE GREAT HALL
Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall, and the rest of the staff were eating and enjoying their last day before the students arrive at Hogwarts. Dumbledore hadn't found a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher (who knew that was coming) which was the talk of most of the table.
"What are we going to do? We need a Defense teacher this year" Minerva said clearly worried. The days were getting darker, without a proper teacher they wouldn't know what to do when they got to the real world.
"I know Minerv-"
BANG
The doors burst open and in walked a young man. The young man looked no older than nineteen. He looked up to the staff table and saw that all the teachers had their wands on him.
"I need to speak to Albus Dumbledore, please"
Dumbledore stood up
"What do you need young man?"
The young man smiled and said.
"I heard you needed a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher"
With this Filius (Hey I'm not sure how to spell his name so don't kill me) stood up.
"You seem way too young to teach Mister...?"
"Knight, sir Harry Knight. I might be young but I assure you I am qualified."
With that said the charms professor sat down.
"Well then let's go to my office then to get everything sorted out?"
Harry followed Dumbledore to his office even though he knew the way in his sleep. He looked around to see the difference between the past and future. It pretty much looked the same from the moving staircases to the secret passages. He was broken out of his thoughts when Dumbledore said "Licorice Wands". He followed him into his office and sat in the chair in front of his desk.
"So" he said as he sat down in his big chair "you're here for the Defense Against the Dark Arts position"
"Yes, I had heard you needed one"
"Do you have any experience?"
"Yes, I taught one year at Sidwell's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry"
"I heard that school was destroyed in a death eater raid"
"Yes, unfortunately it was so I decided since you need one to come and work here"
"Well then Mr. Knight Welcome to Hogwarts"
"Thank you Professor Dumbledore"
"Please call me Albus. Everyone in the staff does and even though you're younger that doesn't make it an exception"
"Yes sir and you can call me Harry"
"Well then Harry would you like a Lemon Drop?"
Harry smiled at the offer.
'Even in the past he's obsessed with Lemon Drops'
"No, thank you"
"Let me show you to your room then"
Dumbledore led Harry back toward the Great Hall and up the staircase from there. While at the Great Hall Harry grabbed his stuff and walked with Dumbledore up to his room. Dumbledore led him through so man twists and turns it was hard to tell which way they were going. Finally, he stopped at a portrait with a young woman knitting on her bed humming an old tune.
'I know this place' Harry thought to himself. He and his friends had explored the castle and he knew it like the back of his hand. He knew every secret passage there was in the school and almost all the hidden rooms. She had finally noticed they were there and kept on knitting.
"Hello Master Dumbledore how are you this fine evening?"
"I am wonderful Miss Scarlet. I would like you to meet the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher Mr. Harry Knight."
She turned and looked him as though sizing him up.
"I bet he'll be a lovely teacher"
"Thank you"
"Oh yes my name is Samantha Scarlet"
"Ok Sam"
"Well your password is Godric Gryffindorr. If you need something to eat just call for the house elves I am sure they will here you"
"Thank you"
"Your Welcome and I wish you a goodnight" With that Dumbledore walked away.
"Godric Gryffindorr"
"Goodnight Master Knight"
"Goodnight Sam"
Harry walked through the portrait and looked around.
'Wow this is a pretty big room.'
Harry set his stuff next to his bed and then layed on the bed.
'Might as well get sleep before school starts'
Later on that night as Harry lay sleeping his trunk popped open and out popped glowing yellow eyes.
IN THE FUTURE
Albus Dumbledore was sitting in his chair writing a letter to the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge. He heard a knock on the door.
"Come in"
He was still writing the letter when the person slammed their fists down on his desk.
"Where did he go"
"Who" he said calmly while still writing the letter.
"Harry Potter" and with that he looked up.
Please review again please!
