Chapter 2 Remembrance

Now Potter and His friends were in their 7th year and Severus could not have been happier. Knowing that they would soon be gone was a wonderful feeling. Now all he needed was to get the job he deserved but he already knew that Dumbledore had found a replacement DADA but he would not tell the staff who it was.

Severus watched as the students filled in for the first feast of the year. How he hated being here. He would much rather be working on potions but Dumbledore required that teaches be at 2 meals everyday.

The new first years have been sorted as Dumbledore rises

"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts. I have a few reminders, the Forbidden forest is restricted to anyone who does not wish to die a horrible death. Quidditch tryouts will be the second week of school. I would also like to introduce to you the new Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, but it appears that they have not yet arrived."

As Dumbledore goes to sit down the doors the great hall swing open and a figure wearing a dark clock enters.

"I see that the new professor has just arrived" Dumbledore stands up again as the figure removers the clock to reveal long dark hair with the most brilliant blue eyes as she walks up to Dumbledore and give the old man a caring hug.

Severus watched as she removed the clock and sits there in complete shock. He cant believe it, It cant be true.

Dumbledore looks back at the students as he stays "I would like you all to meet Professor Morgana Potter"

Silence falls over the hall for the second time. The people gasp like they are looking at a ghost.

Harry is sitting with Hermione and Ron and is trying not to pass out completely.

"Harry, are you alright" Hermione gently taps him in on the shoulder

"Yeah. I'm fine. I think, but did he say that the new professor is a Potter"

"Yeah, its weird, but who know maybe your not related" Ron states still confused

"That's not possible Ron, the Potter's are a pureblood wizarding family. Some how Harry is related to her maybe just some distance cousin but they are related." Hermione states intelligently

They start to eat the feast Harry is now very curious about this new Professor

Morgana goes and take her seat next to Severus without even saying hello first. Severus is now feeling out of place and has to say something. She is still as radiant as the last time he saw her over 19 years ago when she graduated for Hogwarts herself. He remember that that day all to clearly.

"Why, Hello Severus" Morgana says as if it was normal

"Hello, Morgana" Severus says a nervously

"It has been a long time"

"Certainly" Severus manages to stumble out. That was the last that they spoke for the rest of the meal. The whole time Severus was trying to keep him mind in control but his body did not want to obey.

After the Students were dismissed Severus rushes back to his rooms and tears them apart looking for something hopping that he still has it.

Harry, Ron and Hermione are sitting around the fireplace when Professor McGonagall walks up to them

"Harry, will you come with me. Someone wants to meet you." McGonagall states as she ushers Harry to the door.

The walk down to the DADA class room and McGonagall tall Harry to go in before she heads back up to the Griffindor tower.

Harry opens the door slowly only to see Professor Potter Sitting at a table working on her class assignments.

Morgan looks up to see Harry enter the room

"Hello, Harry"

"Hello"

"Please, have a seat. I'm sure you have a lot of questions."

"Ok, first off, who are you ?"

"Well, I am Morgana Potter the last remaining pureblood of the Potter line. I am James Potters little sister. So that makes me your Aunt." Morgana states

"Ok, so then, where have you been all these years" Harry states demanding an answer

"That is a long story. It would be best to wait until tomorrow so Dumbledore can be around to help you understand" Morgana states trying t clam the boy down.

"Ok, then, tell me something about you"

"Well, I'm three years younger then you father, but our parents where killed during James' first year, so I came to Hogwarts a year early. As you know your parent were both in Griffindor as were most Potters. I was the exception I was sorted into Slytherin. Your father protested when that happened but he knew there was nothing he could do about it. After that day he became over protective and I was followed by him and his group."

"So, what else."

"Well, your parents were to be married right after I graduated Hogwarts and from the looks of it , it seems that were. I wasn't unable to attend the wedding but I'm sure it was wonderful."

"Why, weren't you there? I mean, it was your brother wedding."

"I know, but it was a long time ago. And certain things prevented it."

"Were you there when was born?"
"Sadly no, the day I graduated Hogwarts was the last time I ever say James and Lily."

"Why"

"That I can explain, when Dumbledore is around"

"OK, then, tell me about your parents"

"I think that can wait its way past curfew and we have classes tomorrow"

Harry turned to look at the clock to notice that is was already 2 in the morning. Yawning, Harry got up and headed back to the Griffindor tower hoping not to get caught by Snape.

The next day as the 7th years who were studying DADA for their NEWT's walked in very loudly.

Malfoy rammed into Potter and taught

"So, I guess we all know who the new teachers pet is going to be then, right" Malfoy and his gang laughed

"Enough. Now take your seats." Morgana's voice boomed though the room

"And what is your name" Morgana asked as she pointed to Malfoy

"Malfoy, Draco Malfoy" Malfoy said with pride.

Morgana shivered at that name but only Harry noticed.

"Well then, Mr. Malfoy I would take your seat if I were you before I give you detention."

"Now then class, you are to read chapters 1-4 of your book in silence" Morgana's voice still echoed off the walls.

Ron whispered "She worst then Snape."

"What was that Mr. …."

"Weasley, Ron Weasley"

"Well, Mr. Weasley, would you share your comment with the whole class"

"Not really" Ron shivered as Morgana's eyes glared at him. They seemed to turn red as he looked at her more.

"Very well, Mr. Weasley, I will see you in my office at 7 tonight for your first detention. Now the rest of you get to work."

After that the room was silent until the bell rung. The students quietly got there stuff and left as if they were fleeing a werewolf.

At lunch that day Morgana went to sit next to Severus. As she walked in Severus tried not to look to pathetic as he stared at her. As she sat down Severus tried to think if something intelligent to say.

"Severus how are your class going" Morgana asked

"Very well , so far better then usual. And yours" Severus some how manage to get the words out in one piece.

"I cant complain much. They are learning the proper way to behavior in class. I have a question for you about Mr. Malfoy" Morgana again shivers as she says the name

"Sr. or Jr."

"Jr. of course. I was wondering if he always speaks out of turn"

Severus tries to keep a straight face as he listens to Morgana explain about what happened.

Harry enters Dumbledore's office that afternoon.

"Harry, Would you like a cup of tea well we wait for Professor Potter."

"Sure, Professor Dumbledore."

In a short while Morgana enters rushing in

"Sorry, I'm Late."

"That quite alright, have a cup of tea" Dumbledore offering a Chair.

"Are you ready?" Dumbledore questioned

"Yes, yes, give me time, its has been a long time" Morgana stated.

"Alright, I'm ready as long as your ready Harry?"

"I'm a as ready is I'm going to be"

For the rest of the afternoon they sat in Dumbledore's office and Morgana explain about where she has been for the past 19 years.

Severus is sitting in his Office grading the 7th years papers. A knock on the door infuriates Severus.

"Enter" Snape snapped.

"Severus" Lucius exclaims.

"What do you want? I'm very busy" Severus states without looking up to greet his guest.

"Is that anyway to treat a friend? Draco has informed me that the new DADA Professor is something else" Lucius grinning mischievously

"What about her ?" Severus asks looking up from his work

"Her, why I didn't know, who is she?

"Someone you should know." Severus states returning to his work.

"What, so your still jealous, that she choice me over you"

"Choose you, are you crazy, you forced her and I know it" Severus shouts as he stands up.

"Why, would a Malfoy ever do that. We have more Charm the say a Snape? Lucius said tauntingly

Severus if infuriated with anger when another knock on his door, hoping to get Lucius to live Severus barks

"Enter"

"Why, I didn't know you had company" Morgana stands in the doorway shocked.

"Why its no big deal, my dear, we were just talking about you" Lucius states and he ushers Morgana in.

"I think….I will come back later Severus….Lucius." Morgana states as she rushes out.

"Why it looks like you have frightened out newest Professor away. That is a pity I was hoping you would meet her."

"Are you trying to tell me that Morgana Potter is the new DADA. How is that possible its been years since anyone has heard from her."

"You ought to know, since you were the last person, she was ever seen with"

"How dare you bring that up? It is none of your concern. Good Day, Severus."

Lucius storms out leaving Severus alone in his office to figure out what is going on with Morgana and the Malfoy's.
