Hermione and Ginny slowly went down to the Great Hall that morning. They were so tired from the party last night; they could barley keep their eyes open, some people even had hangovers and were running to the bathroom to puke every five minutes. But they weren't the only ones who had the party. It was obvious that all the other houses did because everyone looked the same.

Hermione slowly said, "So, who do you think we have for Defense Against the Dark Arts this year?"

Harry shrugged, "I dunno."

Ginny was looking at where all the teachers were sitting, "Look! Next to Hagrid… That could be the new teacher!"

Everyone who heard Ginny looked up. There sat a girl, who looked about 19, who was extremely pale with big silver-blue eyes. She had blond hair flowing down past her waist with bangs swooped to the side. When she and Hagrid stood up because Dumbledoor was coming in she looked like a 3rd year kid. But none the less, she was beautiful. She looked over towards Hermione, Harry, Ginny, and Ron because they were the ones who were staring dead on her.

Ron blushed as she looked at him and flipped her hair smiling and sat down.

"Good morning everyone. I see many of you are well, quite tired, I heard all you 7th years last night. There will be no more of that please, this was an occasion…Only on special occasions may you party." Dumbledore started standing up, the new teacher coughed, "Oh! And before I forget… There are two matters of business I must quickly discuss." He cleared his throat.

"Where's Professor McGonagall?" Hermione softly whispered.

Dumbledore went on, "As some of you may tell Professor McGonagall was not here last night, nor is she here this morning. The reason to that I must admit I am not positive why, but she will not be joining us as a teacher this year, but she might drop in once in awhile. Our new transfiguration teacher will be Professor Hagrid." There were mumbles among the crowd, "Now, as you may all know, once again we do not have the same Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, this year will be the Hogwarts graduate, Lady Lane, or Professor Lane as you all will call her." She stood up in her long flowing black robe. "She will also be the head of Gryffindor this year. Now, lets have some breakfast shall we?"

"What do you guys have first? I have D.A.D.A." Hermione asked, meaning Defense Against the Dark Arts.

"Same." Harry said dryly.

"Same here! Let's go, we can't be late…Don't wanna make a bad impression!" Ron said, suddenly perking up.
