Chapter 4
The New Professor
It had been ten years since the destruction of the Ministry and in that time, all the family had changed. Molly Weasley was never able to overcome her grief. Her health broke and she passed away about three years after the disaster. Bill, Charlie and the twins Fred and George, all served in the new Ministry that built up after the disaster. Harry and Ginny stayed on to help with the reconstruction of the new Ministry. Harry had even served as interim Minister of Magic for a period of time, but after five years of helping to rebuild Harry was appointed to the Defense Against the Dark Arts position while Ginny had been appointed to teach Muggle Studies.
Harry had severed in the DADA professorship for five years while his children and his wards began to attend Hogwarts, but after five years of serving in that professorship, he was appointed Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts and head of Gryffindor House by Headmaster Dumbledore.
His oldest son Mike was now a fifth year prefect along with his niece Ami Weasley. His nephew Jake was the star chaser on the Gryffindor House Team. Mike was also on the Gryffindor House Team as the seeker. They knew about their past and what had happened, but they never let it get to them.
As the Deputy Headmaster Harry had the honor of looking for new employment for the position that he had left as Professor for Defense against the Dark Arts. He had searched through hundreds of resumes, but he spotted one that interested him significantly.

"This guy has done it all, a degree in Engineering, Biology ,Biomechanical Engineering, Anthropology, Bioelectrical engineering, Biometrical engineering, and Charms, DADA, and Potions.
"Maybe I should talk to Albus about this guy." Harry said intrigued
"Albus I think this guy would be a great addition to the staff especially with his knowledge of Charms, DADA, and Potions. It would seem logical that he would be the wisest choice to make for the DADA professorship."
"I agree Harry you have my permission to hire him as he does appear to be the most qualified candidate for our needs." Albus said.
"I agree I shall travel to America and see if I can find him and so I can talk to him about accepting the position."
"Go then Harry I shall see you on your return."
Harry went home and informed his family about his traveling to America for a few days to find this man. Although Harry had been all over the world looking for new professors Ginny had some apprehension for this mission her husband was about to undertake. The Dark Alliance was growing stronger with everyday and after they claimed responsibility for the explosion that had killed her brother, father and sister-in-law she was worried for the safety of her husband.
"Ginny don't worry I don't think the Dark Alliance is even in America and if they are I know how to fight them and beat them. I will be fine."
Harry was wrong though for he did not consider the sheer power of the Dark Alliance. They were in America, but not as he was thinking, they would be. Since the attack on Ministry ten years ago Draco had made agreements with some of the most vile magical beings in the known world including Dark Specter, Astronima, Rita Repulsa and her husband Lord Zedd, and the Demon Lord Olympus and his band of demons.
Harry made it to California the next day after taking a port key from the Ministry building to Blue Bay Harbor since it was the most magical place in California and since it was the location of the California State Magic Commission.
Harry was driving a jet-black 2017 model Shelby Cobra down Highway five to get to Reefside. It was a long journey to Reefside at least two hours and well you have to drive in style. (What did you expect the former interim Minister of Magic and Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts to drive a Pinto.)
Harry arrived at Reefside High School the site of Dr. Oliver's current employment at about 1 pm knowing that it would be his free period since that was also in his letter.
As he walked into the school he noticed it was a lot different from what he imagined an American high school to look like, but it didn't matter he didn't plan to be here long.
Harry walked to the office to inquire of Dr. Oliver's whereabouts. As he approached the office, he noticed three kids talking to a much older looking man and he was astonished. Expect for the short hair this man looked almost exactly like Sirius Black his dead Godfather. He was astonished Sirius had died when Harry was 15 which was 21 years ago and in all that time he had never seen a man who looked so much like Sirius until now. He decided he would explore this a little more after his meeting with Dr. Oliver.
Harry walked in the office and went up to the counter.
"How may I help you sir?" The receptionist asked
"Yes ma'am I am looking for Dr. Thomas Oliver I have an appointment with him at about 1:15."
"Well sir you don't have far to look he is just right outside there."
Harry was astonished it was the same guy he saw talking to the children the man who looked like Sirius this man was to be the new DADA professor. This was going to be some major confusion.
