Same Disclaimer from first chapter goes here

Last Chapter:

'So much had happened in the last week. All four of us look completely different now.' I thought to myself as I gazed at my
reflection in the bathroom mirror. I now had silver eyes flecked with blue, and still messy, yet, somewhat longer hair. Except
now, it was silver-ish blond color;I was a good four inches taller than I had been and not to mention, looked older that 21.

Tomorrow, we were going to Hogwarts for an appointment with McGonagal, - who was now Headmistress of the school –
for the teaching jobs that had been abandoned just last week. Yes... It was going to be real fun this year...

But, little did we know that back at Hogwarts, all four Houses had united for the the very same reason that the new 'DA' had
come together

To defeat Lord Voldemort.

Chapter 2: More Boggarts?
"Not like that! It's more of a flick, then a jab. Oh Neville, just keep practicing..." Hermione said
with a soft sigh before moving on to a girl who seemed to have cursed her partner with boils.

"We're not even working on that curse. You're pronouncing the incantation wrong. The first part is
'Expo' not 'Exto'. Try again."

"Very good, Pansy." She heard Ron say from across the room.

Yes, this was a brilliant idea.

After seven hours of begging Professor – No. Headmistress McGonagal, she had finally given in and
let them stay the summer to work on DADA.

Thus, 'Dumbledore's Army' had been reborn.

Hermione was in charge, while Ron, Ginny and Luna, helped her out. The DA club was now a lot
bigger than it had been in year five... Which was both good and bad.

Good, because they needed all the help they could get.

Bad, because there was hardly any room for them to practice.

So, instead of being in the Room of Requirements, they had cleared all the tables from the Great Hall and
met there every other day to practice, with McGonagal's blessings.

"Oi, Ron! Can you come over here for a minute? Ginny, Luna, you too." Hermione called over the
noise as the students began to file out of the room, finished training for the day.

As the three friends made their way to where Hermione stood, near the back of the room, they began talking
about how they thought the lesson had gone.

"Ron, Status report on the Slytherins." Hermione demanded in her take-charge way.

Ron smiled. "They're doing really good. I guess thats to be expected, considering that most of them
have Pure Bloods as parents." He stated proudly.

"Luna, what about the Hufflepuffs?"

Luna sighed. "Well, I guess they're okay. Not many of them actually grasp any of what I teach
them." she replied with a heavy sigh. Hermione nodded and turned lastly to Ginny.

"How are the Ravenclaw doing then?"

"Well, they understand the techniques. But they keep rambling on and on about how each particular spell
was developed and such. Although, they at least know the more advanced ways of spell casting, I don't
think they have the needed courage to be of any help during the actual fighting." the read head summarized,
slightly annoyed.

But, Hermione had a feeling that all their work was about to be compromised...

Later that Day
"Watch it, Weasel!" A young man with short black hair growled as the tall red headed boy ran into
him, as he sped around the corner.

"Watch it yourself, mate!" Ron replied with a light blush, embarrassed that he had actually ran into
someone.

The taller man snorted and lifted his head high in a superior manor, hand at his wand.

"Snitch! Where've you- Bloody hell, mate! He's a student for all you know! We're trying to get jobs,
for Merlin's sake! She won't hire you if you've picked a fight with someone so... small..."

Ron's face turned red, taking his eyes off of the first man to look at the second, he frowned.

"You're here for the teacher positions? Well, let me just tell you now, we don't need the likes of you-"

"Ron! Are you alright? You left in such a hurry, you forgot your books and I just think that it was
wrong of your mother to send a howler because you didn't go- Oh.. Good morning-"

"Jynx. And this," The blond said, putting an hand on the black haired man's shoulder, "Is
Snitch. We're here for the Teacher positions. Would you be a dear, and direct us to the Headmistress'
office?"

Hermione frowned. 'Well, at least they won't be back until September..' Smiling, Hermione nodded,
"I would love to. My name is Hermione Granger, and this is my boyfriend, Ron Weasley. Ron, I'll meet
you back at the Perfects Common Room. Mr. Jynx, Mr. Snitch, Please, follow me..." she said as she
turned back to where she had come from.

"boyfriend? Aren't you two a little young?" Jynx asked, the hurt plainly evident in his voice.
Hermione turned around quickly, her brown hair flying.

"Mr. Jynx, Ron and I have both fought alongside Harry Potter every time Voldemort attacked him. We
grew up almost as quickly as he did. And now, Ron and I are training hard in hopes of defeating that
vile beast. If Harry was old enough to face Voldemort, Are we not old enough to date? Besides, it's none
of your business." With that, she promptly turned back and continued on her way.

"So, which positions are you trying for?" Hermione asked as she led them down a dark corridor.

"Well, I'm going for the Defense Against the Dark Arts." Jynx replied in a dull tone. He was only going
for DADA because Balus had insisted. "And Snitch is going for Potions."

"Really? Well, I think I should warn you, the DADA job is, well, pardon the pun, Jinxed. We've never
had the same DADA teacher for more than a year. And honestly, I don't think it will end with you."
she replied shortly as she stopped in front of two large stone Gargoyle's "Transfigured Teacups"
The two stone monsters jumped in delight, then moved to the side, revealing a large wooden door.

"Com in, Hermione." The Headmistress said from the other side as the door began to swing open.

"Headmistress, They claim to have an appointment with you. Two of he teaching jobs has sparked their
interests." Hermione said before leaving the three adults to their business.

"Well, I wasn't expecting you so soon. Where are the other two?" the Headmistress asked, a look of
concern on her aging face.

"They will be here shortly." Snitch replied as he took a seat, Jynx doing the same.

"Well then, shall we start? Mr. Jynx, What position are you interested in?" she asked as she pulled out
a piece of parchment and a quill.

"I'm aiming for the Defense Against the Dark Arts Position. When I was in the war, I was teaching
many others DADA. Mostly the young ones that had joined the fight.

"Hm. I don't remember hearing about you at all-"

"Oh course you wouldn't have. I was working undercover with the Ministry. Frightful parents scared
for their children's safety... No, no one knew about me except the ones I taught."

"Well then, how many years of experience have you had?"

"I was fighting when Lilly and James defied He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named for the first time. Does
that give me enough experience?"

"You? Fighting with Lilly and James? But, you look no older than early twenties! How is that
possible?" McGonagal asked, clearly not believing him.

"My bloodline is an old one. If you look far back in my line you will find all four of the Hogwarts
Founders there. Old Magic keeps me looking young..." Jynx smiled softly, enjoying the look of surprise
on the Headmistress' face.

"Very well. But, as I'm sure you've heard, the DADA job has been declared by most who have been
here, Jinxed. Pardon the pun. Do you think you could handle it?"

Jynx smirked "Of course I can."

"Good. Shall I call someone to show you where you'll be teaching?"

"Yes, that will be fine. I wouldn't want to get lost on my first day teaching, now would I?" he asked sarcastically as he
stood from his seat and walked out the door. In just a moment, Ginny was there to show him to his classroom.

"Now, Mr. Snitch. Which position were you aiming for?"

"Potions, Headmistress."

"Really, now. I suppose you have experience...?" she asked, looking down her nose to the young man
sitting before her.

"Yes. I was a assistant to a freelance Potions Master since I was 13, and by the age of 19 I was
promoted to a partnership. Just last February our shop was destroyed in an attack. Jarron was
killed and I couldn't possible rebuild and continue the business without him."

"Well, with over six years of experience, I think we would find you very useful here. Welcome to
Hogwarts, Mr. Snitch. Would you like for me to send for someone to show you to your new classroom?"

"Yes. Thank you, Headmistress..."

"Hmm... red hair, freckles, and an unmistakable air of mischief about you. You must be a Wesley."
Jynx said with a laugh, earning a bright blush from Ginny.

"Yes. Ginny Weasley. And you?"

"Jynx. Professor Jynx, actually. I'm the new DADA teacher."

"Wow, well good luck with that one. The DADA position is said to be cursed. It would be a shame not
to see you around next year..."

"Oh now, don't start with that nonsense. This school just hasn't had the right teacher for the job yet. I'm
sure I'll be back for a second year. Maybe even a third."

"Well, just so you know, I plan to apply for the job after I finish my Seventh year, so your third year
will be your last. I was trained by Harry Potter himself."

"Ah, yes. Harry Potter. Well, it seems that you too are in that particular fan club. I met two others that
claimed to have fought by his side..."

"Fan club? No, you're mistaken. He's my best friend." Ginny said with an air of flippancy.

Jynx snorted. "You call him a friend? After he abandoned you? Left you to die at the hands of Voldemort? Some friend..."

Ginny growled. "How dare you! If you haven't noticed, Voldemort hasn't been seen here since Harry
left! He was just trying to get us out of Volemort's line of fire. I'm sure he'll be back soon."

"Then why would he break his wand? Surely he needed that to defeat He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

Ginny stopped suddenly. "This is your Classroom, Professor. Do you need me any further?" she asked
snappishly.

"No, thank you Miss Weasley. That will be all. I look forward to seeing you in September."

"Where have you been? I've been here for ten minutes waiting for you." Snitch said as Jynx walked up to him.

"Sorry, I was talking to Ginny. It seems she didn't believe me when I left. Either that, or she's just
trying to convince herself that I'll be back. I'm not really sure which one it is yet." Jynx replied as he
pulled out a pack of Cigarettes from his robe pocket. After he lit one and inhaled deeply. After he lit
one, he passed the pack and lighter to his friend, who did the same.

"Well, it doesn't really matter. We're under the Illusion charm, so Voldemort can't find us. For a while
at least..

"So, what do you plan on teaching on the first day of school?" Jynx asked as he took another drag of his
cigarette.

"I'm not sure yet. I guess go over the Unforgiveables... Thats something they really need to know anyway.
What about you? Snitch asked frowning.

"Well, I was thinking of using Boggarts..."

AN: Well, only two reviews, but I guess thats alright...

I know it's not as long as I promised, but seriously, I'm working on the third chapter already, so hopefully it wont take
as long to upload something new this time...

Rose: I had indeed forgotten that you couldn't apperate or disapperate on Hogwarts grounds. Oh well. I don't feel like
fixing it lol

inari02: I now see what you were asking. Jynx, Snitch, Rile and Balus are going back to Hogwarts because thats where
the second Profocy said Voldemort would be defeated.. Now, I haven't gotten into the second Profocy yet, but I think
it'll be mentioned in the next chapter...

Thanks for the reviews! I look forward to seeing more next time around! Remember, 5 reviews is the goal!
