Here's chapter 11 hope y'all like it.

When Hermione, Ron and Neville returned to the common room, they found Harry pacing.

He looked up in relief when he saw them, "There you are! Where have you been? I couldn't find you or Jessica. What happened?" he added seeing the pale look on Neville's face.

Hermione and Ron exchanged amused looks as Neville told him about the encounter with the Mystic Knight and the Jell-O monster. Harry pretended to be shocked and surprised at the proper intervals of the story. When he was finished, Neville asked Harry where he had been.

Harry pretended to blush, "Promise you won't tell anyone? Well Ok, I went looking for Jessica but I guess I went the wrong way because I ended up getting lost in the halls. I
finally managed to find my way back here a couple of minutes before you arrived. Can you believe that, four years in this castle and I still get lost." He shook his head and laughed, "Well I'm glad everyone's Ok." Then his expression turned confused, "So you have no idea who this Mystic Knight guy is?"

Neville shook his head, "Not a clue. But I can't believe their real, I mean my gran always said they were but I never believed her. In fact, I'm going to go write to her and tell her what happened." With that, he jogged to the boys dormitory stairs and disappeared up them.

Harry let out a sigh or relief as he, Hermione and Ron sat down in front of the fire. "Thank goodness you guy's didn't come a few seconds earlier, or he would have seen me there."

Hermione nodded, "Yeah, but we didn't, so you don't have to worry about that, and he definitely bought your excuse. You know that word of a Mystic Knight being in school is going to spread quickly, don't you?"

"Yeah," Ron added, "Like the time you fought you-know-who over the philosopher's stone. No one was supposed to know what happened down there but naturally, the whole school found out anyway."

Harry nodded; he too had been thinking about that, "Ok, here's what I want you to do, when Neville starts telling people about what happened I want you two to add things in when he wasn't around. I want the whole school to know exactly what happened. Well, except change the part where Jessica defeated it to the Mystic Knight."

Ron looked taken aback, "Wait, you want people to know there's a Mystic Knight in the school! Whatever for?"

"Because everyone knows you guys wouldn't rat out a friend. So if you tell them, then their gonna know that I'm not the Mystic Knight." He reasoned, "And, of course, by saying that the Mystic Knight defeated the monster by himself, without asking for help from Hermione, people would think that the Mystic Knight isn't a novice, they'd think him an expert, so none would suspect a kid that's still in school, let alone someone just beginning his fifth year of school."

Ron nodded understandingly, "Yeah that makes sense. So no one will suspect a student of being the Mystic Knight let alone you."

"I knew it!" Exclaimed a voice, from the portrait hole, excitedly. "I knew something was different about you."

Horrified Harry leapt up from his chair and spun around to face the new voice, he watched as Ginny Weasley strode right up to him.

"I knew there was something different about you," she repeated loudly, she lowered her voice when Ron shushed her, "I didn't know what until I heard Professor McGonagall talking to Professor Dumbledore, on my way back here. She said a Mystic Knight had been in the school and had saved one of the students, Jessica Lock, I believe you know her. Anyway, I knew that somehow you and Jessica were connected, I knew since I saw you two in The Leaky Cauldron, and then everything fell into place when Neville came rushing into the common room earlier on. Yes Ron I was here, you guy's thought that everyone had gone to bed, but I was sitting in that corner over there finishing up my homework, I guess you didn't see me. Anyhow, Neville came rushing in saying something about being attacked and something about Jessica. You demanded to know what happened to her and then you doubled over in pain," she shot Harry a knowing grin, "Well, right then I knew what your connection to Jessica was, you and she are, Mystic Knights, partners. I had heard stories of Mystic Knights how they were connected to each other in a magic bond sort of way. You knew Jessica was dieing, you could feel it, that's what the pain in your stomach was, a warning that she didn't have long to live, right? So immediately, after you all left I went to fetch McGonagall, I finally managed to track her down just as Neville approached us. So off they went and McGonagall sent me to wake Madam Pomfrey. On my way back here, McGonagall only confirmed my theory with the story she was telling Dumbledore. I was going to confront you in the morning but here you are now, so, am I right?"

Harry was beyond stunned, his mouth moved but no words came out. When he finally found his voice, he wasn't sure what to say.

"Well...I..." he struggled trying to find the right words, "I must say, I'm surprised you were able to figure it out."

Ron, who had been staring dumbstruck at his sister, added "Yeah, even Hermione and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with Harry without help, I'm impressed. Good on you!"

Hermione, her attention on Harry asked, "That's what was wrong with your stomach, it was telling you that Jessica was dieing?" When Harry nodded she added, "I didn't know that, it wasn't in any book I ever read. How did you know?" she turned to Ginny.

"I've heard stories," she said simply with a shrug of her shoulders.

"Ok, well anyway. I have to get to bed if I want to be up a five to get two hours of training in before breakfast. Ginny, Ron and Hermione will fill you in on anything you want to know. Night all!" Harry said waving goodbye to his friends.

As he climbed into bed several minutes later, he couldn't help but think about Greg and what he would think. He would be angry enough that just Ron and Hermione knew, but now Ron, Hermione and Ginny know, he couldn't help but feel a bit apprehensive about seeing Greg in class the next day. He just hoped Greg would be a little understanding.

Harry awoke very early the next morning, after throwing on some clothes (a pair of sweatpants and a tank top) and using his Mystic magic to perfectly spike his blue hair; he shimmered into the girl's dormitory in search of Jessica. He strode right past the other 5th years beds and straight to Jessica's. He wasn't sure if she had returned from the hospital wing yet, but decided to check here before shimmering to the infirmary. He quietly pulled back the curtains around her bed and peered in, Jessica was still sound seep.

"Jessica," he whispered prodding the small of her back, he waited until she rolled over and glared at him before saying, "Come on, we have to train, get up and get dressed, I'll meet you in the common room."

When Harry reached the common room, he was surprised to see Hermione, Ginny and Ron already there sitting around the fireplace. All three of them looked extremely tired. Ginny was resting her head on Ron's shoulder sleepily, while Ron kept nodding off. Hermione was the first to notice Harry; she prodded Ron and Ginny awake.

"What are you guy's doing up do early?" He asked when they stood and faced him.

Ron stifled a yawn, "W-we wanted to watch you two train. Thought it would be interesting." He murmured sleepily. "Couldn't you have picked a reasonable hour to do it though?"

Ginny yawned deeply, "How do you do this every morning? Get up this early I mean"

Harry shrugged and crossed his arms over his chest, "I've been getting up this early all summer, and it's become a routine. I guess I just got used to it." He heard movement behind him and turned to see Jessica coming towards them.

Jessica was wearing sweats and a tank top as well, Harry could tell she had also used magic to spike her hair; it was too perfect to have been done by hand. She looked very grumpy, Harry figured she thought she would never had to train this early in the morning again and had gone to bed very late.

"Morning sunshine," he laughed. His laughter stopped when she shot him a glare. "Oh, come on, you knew we had to train everyday, especially with Greg being here."

Ginny, who had been told about Greg the night before by Hermione and Ron, looked shocked, "Greg's here?" She looked to Hermione and Ron who looked equally confused.

Jessica, having just noticed the three, looked livid, "Now she knows," she growled shoving Harry, "God, what did you do? Put a notice on the message board, or just take out an ad in the Daily Prophet?"

Harry backed away from her his hands held defensively in front of him, "Hey, don't blame me, she figured it out on her own."

This seemed to amuse Jessica; she glanced from Ginny to Hermione, "Wait your telling me that this kid figured it out on her own. When the great know-it-all Hermione Granger had to be given clues?" she laughed and pointed at the red faced Hermione, "O-oh my god that is so funny."

She must have laughed for a good five minutes before finally calming down; she wiped a tear from her eye and straightened herself out. "A-alright, let's get going then, I'm ready to train." She walked to Hermione and gave her a hard thump on her back, "You really know how to cheer a girl up, thanks."

Hermione glared and was grumbling to herself all the way through and out the castle, when she saw they were headed to the forbidden forest she spoke up, "Uh, Harry, where exactly do you go to train?"

Harry turned to her, "Into the forbidden forest, it's the only place I know no one will see me." Seeing the nervous looks his friends were exchanging he added, "Don't worry, you guys are perfectly safe with Jessica and I. We won't let anything happen to you, right Jess?"

Jessica grunted noncommittally, "Yeah, whatever." They stopped when they reached the edge of the forest, shaking her head she headed in followed by Harry, Hermione, Ron and Ginny.

Harry moved up front and took the lead; they walked for what seemed like ten minutes branches scratching their arms and faces before they reached a large clearing somewhere near the middle of the forbidden forest.

"Well, here we are, this is where we will train every morning. (Jessica groans) I suppose we should start by stretching." Harry said thoughtfully.

"You suppose? Forgotten you're training already Harry?" an amused voice sounded from behind the five Gryffindor's.

Harry sighed and rubbed the back of his neck, slowly he turned around to face his mentor Greg Talon. The others were already staring at the man in wonder, well except Jessica who just smiled at him. "No, I just...well it was always you taking charge and telling us what to do, I'm not quite sure how to start."

Greg flashed another amused smile, it quickly left his face when he spotted Hermione, Ron and Ginny. He shot a sharp, questioning glance at Harry and Jessica.

Harry swallowed hard; he had been dreading this moment. But to his surprise, it was Jessica who answered.

"Greg, this is Hermione Granger and Ron, and his sister Ginny, Weasley. They know about us." She said with a calm tone.

"And how exactly did they find out?" he snapped angrily narrowing his eyes accusatorily at Harry.

"That was my fault," Jessica answered, to the great surprise of the other four Hogwarts students, "I didn't check to make sure the common room was empty before I opened my big mouth. I was complaining to Harry about how annoying it was to be a Mystic Knight and those three were apparently on the couch in the common room." It amazed Harry how good Jessica was at lying.

Greg nodded, apparently he believed Jessica, "Why didn't you alter their memories?"

It was Harry that answered this time, "Well Jess wanted to, but I wouldn't let her. See, they have been my friends since I came to school and I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if I had done something like that to them, or allowed someone else to. But, like I said, their my best friends our secret is safe with them. They won't tell a soul, right guys?"

"We would never tell anyone, professor. We would never hurt Harry like that." Hermione stated while Ron and Ginny just nodded in agreement.

Greg's face remained suspicious for a minute before he smiled, "Alright, if Harry trusts you that good enough for me." He clapped his hands together joyfully, "Now I think its time you two got around to training."

Harry yawned as he dished some food onto his plate that day at lunch, "I thought Transfiguration would never end." He said in relief.

Ron nodded and shoveled some Yorkshire pudding into his mouth, "Yeah, at least it was more interesting then Care of Magical creatures. Hagrid's lost his edge, he's gone soft. All we did was feed flobberworms all period, again." He took another bite of his food mumbling something about hating flobberworms.

Harry chuckled whilst Hermione and Jessica rolled their eyes.

"What do we have after lunch?" Ron said his ears going red as Hermione shifted and bumped his shoulder. Apparently he had gotten over his short crush on Jessica and went back to liking Hermione that morning.

Harry grinned at his friends flushed appearance and shot an amused look to Jessica, who sat beside him. They shared a smile before turning back to look at Hermione and Ron across from them.

Harry was about to comment on Ron's obvious discomfort when the tinkling of a glass drew their attention to the head table.

"It seems," Professor Dumbledore began, "that in my old age I forgot an important announcement at the beginning of the year feast." His eyes twinkled as he gazed around the great hall. "It seems I neglected to mention this years Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. May I introduce Professor Talon."

There was little applause as Greg waved, smiling kindly, to the students. He didn't seem to notice the lack of enthusiasm as he stood, "Thank you all, for that kind greeting," Several students exchanged glances, "I know in the past you have not had many good experiences with you DADA teachers, but I promise this year will be different. I look forward to seeing all of you in class." He sat down and didn't seem to notice the fact no one was clapping, apparently the students were a little wary of the DADA teachers still.

Eventually the students turned back to their lunch and the great hall was filled with chatter once again.

"I can't wait for DADA this afternoon; I wonder what the lesson will be about." Hermione said thoughtfully.

Harry grinned and ate some more of his lunch. He continued to eat and listen as his friends debated what the first Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson would be about.

"GOYLE" Voldemort yelled striding across the cemetery towards the row of death Eaters waiting for them. He waited until his very nervous follower stepped forward. "What news have you got of the Potter situation? Did you get rid of him?"

"N-no my L-lord. I-I'm afraid my Jellitor didn't work, M-master." He stuttered nervously wringing his hands.

Voldemort was furious and his faithful followers could tell. "CRUCIO," he yelled.

Goyle screamed in pain as he fell to the ground. Finally Voldemort lifted the curse, and Goyle scrambled to his feet breathing heavily as he stood back in the line up.

"I will not have failures; the rebirth is upon us in mere months. We have only ten months left, I need that time to prepare." Voldemort hissed his intense glare sending shivers down every Death Eaters spines. "Potter must be destroyed, who will do it for me?"

Silence rang until one Death Eater stepped forward, "I will take care of Potter for you my Lord." Lucius Malfoy announced bowing deeply to his master.

"Excellent, make no mistake, if you fail you will be punished severely." The dark lord said a cruel smile playing on his snake like lips.

Malfoy swallowed hard and nodded in understanding, "Yes master."

"One more thing," he said, "As many of you can tell, Severus Snape is not here." he paused as whispers ran through the line up, "That is because I suspect him to be a spy for Dumbledore." more whispers and gasps broke out among the group, "no one mentions the Rebirth to him, understood. I'll deal with Severus in time so don't mention my suspicions either." With that, he spun around and crossed the cemetery, cloak billowing out behind him.

"Alright class," Greg said as he smiled at the Gryffindor and Slytherin fifth years. "I want you to open your books to page 147; today we will be discussing Lethifolds. Now, Lethifolds are extremely rare and only found in tropical climates. They are classified known wizard killers and are impossible to train or domesticate."

Nervous whispers spread through the class, on the Gryffindor side at least, some of the students in Slytherin looked a little apprehensive, but most of them looked bored.

"And although these creatures are extremely rare, I was lucky enough to have found one." Greg continued, watching with amusement as every students (except Harry and Jessica) eyes widened and they gasped in frightened shock.

"I happened upon it during my many travels and have stored it somewhere safe until I would need it, and now seems like an opportune time. If you'll all please not yell I'll bring it out."

As Greg disappeared into his office, the students started to talk quietly among themselves.

"Do you think that's allowed? Bringing a dangerous thing like that into the school, I mean." Seamus whispered to Dean.

"Of course he's allowed or it wouldn't be in the school. Dumbledore must have given him permission." Draco snapped with a sneer, having overheard the quiet conversation. They heard him mutter something about stupid Gryffindors.

Just then, Greg entered the classroom, a large box shaped item floating along behind him it looked like it could fit a grown man in it without the man having to slouch. The box was around seven feet tall, five feet wide and was covered in a blanket so the students couldn't see inside.

"Are you ready class?" Greg asked an amused smile playing on his lips as most of the students gazed nervously at the huge box he had just set on the floor.

Grasping the blanket edge, he paused for dramatic effect before ripping the blanket off and throwing it to the floor.

What a cliffhanger eh? What do you think, reviewing let's me know you like it and keeps the story going. Cheers!
