Wow, i sure hadn't been expecting That many reviews, so i am sorry you like a story with a freaking slow author, who only updates when he feels like it... Really Gomen Nasai
And yes there was a lot of spelling mistakes last chapter, it should hopefully be a little better this time around. And no there is no excuses for those mistakes, i am just lazy. Well you properly have already noticed that by the lack of updates though.
Any ways i am really happy that so many of you like my story, i guess it is mainly be coarse of the idea though, since i love that myself.
But on to the story, you have been waiting for, all too long (don't expect it to go much faster next time though...)
In the gryffindor room:
"So... what do you think of the new teacher" Ron asked. "There is definitely something creepy about him..." Harry said not looking particularly happy. "I think he is a wonderful teacher," Hermonie said "He seems to have some very interesting things to teach" "And i thought he humiliated you... And you actually think he is good" Ron said surprises "Well, i will not hold grudges over such petty things... Besides he is teaching at my pace!" "Which is about 2 times faster then any of us normal students can handle, he is to damn impatient..." Harry mumbled. "Well but except for the fact that i like his way of teaching, i agree with you Harry, there is definitely something... strange about him" "Yea i don´t like it," Ron said "I wonder why Dumbledore hired someone suspicious like that... Especially when we think about the incidents with most other teachers in defence against the dark arts" "Well i guess we will just have to wait and see," Harry said.
In Raistlin´s room:
It was now to months since he had arrived here, and he still hadn't found any clues on how to travel back at all. As a matter of fact he hadn't even had the chance to search the castle, because he had to teach those, in most cases impotent students. And since he couldn't teleport inside this castle, at least not without first breaking some of the protective spells on Hogwarts, it was hard to search around for clues. The other teachers wouldn't be of much help he thought, since there auras was much weaker then his own. The only one who could possibly help him was that old man, but still he doubted it. At least he had succeeded to get Some information out of them, concerning this dark lord, or Voldemort as they called him. Which they by the way almost never did, in fear of saying the name, what a truly pathetic bunch... "About dinnertime already," Raistlin thought to himself, " maybe i should join the table this night."
In the great hall:
Raistlin entered slowly supporting himself with his staff. At his arrival everyone looked at him in surprise, since it wasn't very often he joined the dinner table, preferring to eat alone. They weren't too happy about him being there Raistlin noticed amused. He slowly made his way to the teachers table where he sat down in his chair. He noticed the frightened look one of the teachers at his side send him, the one on the other side however kept the stern expression she had been wearing all the time, Mcgonagall wasn't that her name?
Suddenly she spoke to him: "So decided to join us today, have we?" "Well don't worry, the feeling is mutual, i don't feel like being here either, but sometimes we all have to endure, to get what we want, right...?" "We.. well i guess that's right," she said without any further comment. "But then exactly is it you want?" a black haired man, the one called Snape, at the other side of the table asked. "Information," Raistlin answered looking directly at the other man, now with all his attention on him. "Information, you say? Well information is not something you will get for free, depending on the nature of it i can't talk about it here. So will you meet me tonight, in shall we say your study, and make a little exchange?" "Well certainly, i will be ready, just come when you feel like it professor Snape" Raistlin said "Then i will see you tonight professor" Snape answered.
In Dumbledores office:
"Now are you sure that was smart, Snape?" Mcgonagall asked. "Well we want information about him, right? Snape answered "So what better way is there?" "I agree with you Snape," Dumbledore said, "But if something goes wrong don't try to fight him by yourself, the power gap is too great, and i still haven't been able to figure out the extent of his power" "Well i will remember Dumbledore" Snape said leaving in the same moment. "Do you really think it will come to that Dumbledore, if so you shouldn't have hired him in the first place" Mcgonagall asked concerned "No of course not, but we have too be prepared for all eventualities"Dumbledore answered.
In Raistlin's room
Snape knocked on the door, expecting anything. "Come in" a low voice said, and the door slowly opened revealing the room. There weren't really many magical items in the room, the only thing there, was in fact a bed, 2 chairs, Raistlin's staff and some books. "So.. what did you want to meet me about in such a late hour professor...?" Raistlin asked. "Well as i said i am here to trade information, what do you want to know. " well how to travel between worlds, everything about this world and all about the powerful sorcerers in it" Wha.. what? Snape asked mystified. " But don't you worry," Raistlin continued on, now almost amused: " I'll figure it all out for myself..."
And so he whispered a spell. Snape who wasn't prepared, since Raistlin hadn't been holding a wand, got up his shield in the last moment. Raistlin spell however overpowered his shield like it was nothing and like a dark wave flowed in on Snape. Or at least so he felt, though only for a moment. Then the effects of the spell began working, and Snape felt like his head was about too burst, Meanwhile Raistlin had entered his mind and now absorbed all memories from him. It all took a matter of seconds, but for Snape it felt like hours. Afterwards he knew fully well what Harry had gone through during his teaching last year, except for the fact that this was a hundred times worse. As the pain finally subsided, he looked up to see the a dark shape standing before him. "Who.. Who are you.. Voldemort?" "By what i saw in your mind, no i am not a pathetic little mage like him, my ambition goes much... further..." Raistlin answered softly: "But that doesn't matter to you any more," He then whispered another spell, and Snape felt at ease, his mind relaxing.
"So what information did you want again, professor Raistlin" "Well.. it seems like i have figured it out on my own... So i am afraid to say that any exchange of information is cancelled..."
"Hmm that was strange, why did he even invite me if he didn't need the information..." Snape thought as he walked away along the corridor, "well i guess i have to report to Dumbledore, that this meeting was fruitless after all..."
It had been even easier then he thought, to lure one of the teachers to where in here, then read his mind, and finally make him forget it. But he had to admit he had been lucky, to get a member of the staff Who had been among Voldemorts ranks himself... Well now he had all the in formation he needed of this world, and it had definitely been very interesting indeed... Now he just had to figure out what to do with it.
In the classroom next day:
So now, you have arrived to the point where i will have to observe your skills, so please make these little tasks i have prepared for you, and i will be looking at how you are doing..." In reality he was only interested in one student: This Harry Potter who, in accordance to Snape's mind, had some rather interesting abilities... It reminded him of when he was a student himself, and Antimodes had asked to talk with all the students. Raistlin was by now rather certain that he had only wanted to speak to him too... At that time he had not let down his sponsor, although he had felt a bit of resentment in him too, but he was rather sure that had been more of personality problem... Hopefully this Harry Potter wouldn't prove to be a disappointment either...
Well another chapter done, in which i again managed to not having too get into a plot... But well whatever, i still personally kinda like the chapter. I know this is a short chapter, considering how long it took to update... guess it just shows how pathetic i am at such things. But at least i think there are fewer spelling mistakes in this one then the last (don't take my words on it though).
