On his way back to Gryffindor tower all Harry could think of was Wood. When Wood was a student they weren't close but they were friends. Wood was only four years older than Harry it was very weird thinking of him as a teacher. Harry couldn't wait till tonight to see who the other new teachers would be. As he walked by Prof. Flitwick's classroom Flitwick was still talking to the new teacher. Harry got a better look at him this time. He looked very thin and very tall, almost twice Prof. Flitwick's height. He was wearing long orange robes that trailed on the floor. He was Asian and looked very smart. He also looked very athletic which seemed slightly odd. He spent several hours practicing flying and waiting for the rest of the students to arrive. No matter what he was doing all he could think of was the two new teachers. He pondered who this mysterious Asian teacher was and how some of the other students would react to Prof. Wood. All Harry could do was wait till tonight.
Harry waited on the steps for the other students to arrive. When the first carriage's occupants stepped out Harry was pissed to see Malfoy and his awful friends. No doubt Malfoy would want a go. To Harry's surprise Malfoy acted like he didn't see Harry as he walked past him. He was staring at Malfoy's back wondering why he didn't insult him at all when Hermoine embraced Harry tightly.
"Oh, Harry. I've missed you so much." Hermoine squealed
"Oy, Harry." Ron said in a laid back tone.
"Hermoine would you let go of me. You say me three weeks ago, and we've written." Harry mumbled trying to untangle Hermoine from him.
"I know Harry, but I've still missed you. The train ride was horrible without you. Ron is miserable today. Fred told him there was a surprise teacher but he wouldn't tell him who."
"Yeah, so lets go inside so I can find out." Ron said walking toward the doors.
"I know who it is." Harry said smugly.
"Who?" Ron said pleadingly
"Oh, I don't think I should tell you... Okay. Oliver Wood." Harry said after getting smacked my Ron.
"No way Wood. I can't believe it. Ha. I can't wait to give him hell him in class. Wait which class does he teach?" Ron looked absolutely ecstatic.
"Flying. So we won't have him. But we can still bug him outside classes." Harry answered Ron who looked disappointed by the answer.
"We should go inside, the boat are arriving." Hermoine said as she walked towards the castle doors.
"Right." Harry and Ron said in unison.
Walking to some open seats at the Gryffindor table almost everyone said hello to them as they pasts. When they sat down they immediately turned their attention to the teacher table. Wood sat next to Prof. Sprout. Next to Prof. Snape sat the new teacher Harry saw talking to Flitwick and next to him sat a very pretty young girl. She was also Asian looking and wore glasses that made her look very smart. The two new teachers were talking to each other in what looked like deep conversation.
"Everyone please be quite the sorting is about to begin. Hagrid come in now." Prof. Dumbledore said with authority and everyone listened. The big doors to the great hall opened and a group of young kids came in huddled in a group following Hagrid. When they got to where the sorting hat was seated in the very front of the Great Hall. Hagrid pulled out a piece of parchment and began reading out names beginning with Fay Ackerman and ending with Taylor Zane. When everyone was sorted Dumbledore stood and immediately gained complete attention.
"As you all know we have three new teachers this year. First is Oliver Wood. A former Hogwarts student in the house of Gryffindor, he will be teaching Flying this year to first through fourth year students." Oliver stood and everyone applauded the Gryffindor's the loudest.
"Quiet. Our next new teacher is Prof. Hatake. He will be teaching Transfiguration." The school applauded again. And then Dumbledore continued to speak and everyone quieted. "The last teacher I have to introduce is Prof. Hatake who will be teaching Defense against the Dark Arts. Please do not confuse her with her husband." Again everyone applauded but most looked slightly shocked. It always seemed that teachers were single. Dumbledore went on to remind students of a few rules, and then called the food and everyone ate till they were full. When everyone was finished Dumbledore stood to say one final thing. "I forgot to mention when I was introducing the teachers that since Prof. McGonagall is no longer here Gryffindor needs a new Head of House. Prof. Wood agreed to take the position since he was formally a Gryffindor himself. Now please return to your dorms and get some sleep. Classes being tomorrow."
With that everyone included Ron, Harry, and Hermoine headed for their dorms talking merrily about the new teachers, the new head of house and what an exciting year this was going to be.
I hope you liked it. I was a pain to write please review. I will try my hardest to get the next chapter up soon. Later.
