Chapter 3: The new headmistress and new prof.s

Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, and Ginny went to Gryffindor rows while Luna went to Ravenclaw's. (They still didn't find Leanne) Prof. McGonagall stands at Dumbledore's former place. "Starting this year I'll be the new headmistress. Our former DADA, Prof. Snape had leaved. So this year we'll be having a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. I present you Prof. Kingsley Shacklebolt. He is an auror for the Ministry of Magic. He also will be the new Head of Slytherin" The man in total black robes stands and bowed. "Now, I would start the Sorting ceremony" When the name arrive at James, Leanne. Prof. McGonagall spokes, "Ms. James is former student of Beauxbatons" Everybody stared at her as she a veela. Harry and Ron surprised when the Sorting Hat put Leanne in Slytherin. They stared at Hermione for answers. Hermione stared at them back as like nothing happen. Leanne came to them when they was about to leave for their common rooms. "Hey, I wonder where are you guys? I guess I'll meet you later. My friends are waiting," She ran to Draco and his friends. "Well, at least she got friends. She won't be bugging me here" says Hermione. "Actually, what are you hiding from us" Harry asks as they enter Gryffindor common room. "About the sorting? Nah, it was nothing" "But she seems doesn't belong in" asked Ron. "Believe me, it just a Sorting" She went up to the girl's dormitories straight after she answered Ron's question. Ginny followed her. Harry had a dream about Leanne and he was snogging each other. Harry then wake up with sweats over his face. Why would I imagine that I was snogging her? Harry continues his sleeps after had a sip of a warm milk.

Harry's first class was DADA with Slytherin. Herm, at least he is on our side. Or does he? Harry and Ron were surprised when they enters the DADA room. It was brighter than ever. All the windows are open. The sun's shines through the windows. " I thought you would surprised with the scenery around him" Harry and Ron jumped with a voice from behind. It was Kingsley Shacklebolt's. "Now, find your seats. We'll starts the class. Hello, everyone… As you'll know I'll be your new DADA teacher. This year would be a really important year. Your last year here which means you going to face NEWTs. Your results may lead your destiny to hopes and dreams or majorly crushed" Kingsley Shacklebolts turns around as he said this. Harry nearly jumped when a piece of paper were thrown at his desk. He looked around at for answers. Then, he saw Leanne was waving at him. Leanne was sitting second behind him, beside Draco. He opened the letter.

Hey Harry,

You really look much better from behind. ;p Want to meet up? (Only if you free) We'll meet up after Potion. If you agree, nod at me. If not, act like nothing ever happen

Lots of love and kisses,

Leanne.

P/s: Please...

Harry nod at her. She smiles. Then, she whispers to Draco. Harry minds can't focus on DADA because he keeps waiting for Potion. Harry, Hermione and Ron entered the dungeon. They were surprised as Cho Chang sits at Prof Slughorn's place. "Everyone… I'm Prof Cho Chang. I'll replacing Prof. Slughorn until this summer because he a busy thing to settle" Everybody was whispering and talking. "I know you were not informed by Prof. McGonagall yesterday. It is because Prof. Slughorn informed her for his leaving last night. It was a rather shock when Prof. McGonagall owl in a middle of night" Cho Chang stops a while and continued her speech. "Probably most of you will know me as a former student here. But that is the past, now I really appreciate if you call me Prof. Chang" She stops again and continued her speech same as Prof. Shacklebolt about the NEWTs. Harry could feel his face was burning. Ron nudged his rib. Harry just stared at him. Hermione stared-we-so-need-to-talk-after-this. Harry mouthed. "I'm fine". The class end. "Err, Ha…Mr. Potter. I would like to meet you after this" Everybody was whispering because everybody knows about Harry-and-Cho history. When everybody was out of the Dungeon, Cho approached Harry. "Harry, I know about our past. I hope I can turn back time and fix it. So, if you have any problems….. I'm here" Cho rubbed Harry's hand as she said this. "You can leave now or you will miss your next class" She said formally. Harry realised Hermione and Ron were standing outsides of the Dungeon. Waiting for him. "Hey" said Ron. "Harry, do you feel okay? You know about Cho here" Hermione asked him. "Give him a break" said Ron. "Yeah, I'm fine" Harry lied. "Have you seen Leanne?" Harry asked. "No, why?" Hermione eyeing him curiously. "Nothing" Just as he said this, Leanne arrives. "Hey Harry, Ron and Hermione. You guys don't have other class after this right?" "No. Why?" "Well, Hagrid want to meet you three" "I wonder why? I wonder if he had something illegal to show us" Ron joked. Hermione elbowed him and said "Ron, it is not funny. Well, we better get going. Don't want Hagrid wait for us too long" Hermione pushed Harry and Ron away from Leanne. Harry looked back to Leanne and she waved to Harry. "Oy Hagrid" Ron waved to Hagrid. Hagrid was brushing Buckbeak when they arrive. "Yeh follow me. Me got something to show yeh three" They follow Hagrid into his house. Hagrid took out a red-golen box and gave it to them. "Harry... This Dumbledore's pensieve. He wanted you to see it" Hagrid started to sob. "What is a pensieve?" Ron asked. "Pensieve is a place where you kept all your memory. You can see your memory again like a flashback" Hermione explained. Harry, Ron and Hermione jumped into pensieve. They saw Snape and Dumbledore in it. "Prof. Dumbledore… You know I can't do it. I can't..kill you" Snape said. "You have to Severus. You have made the vow. I'm really sure that Draco couldn't do it" Dumbledore replied. "But Prof." "When I die, I want you to guide Harry and his friends toward destroying the Hocruxes. I didn't have enough strength and it already my time to go" said Dumbledore. After couple of minutes in there, they went out. "So, Snape murder Prof Dumbledore on Prof. Dumbldore's order. I'm confused" Ron asked. "I wonder about the vow. What kind of vow that makes Snape dead if he didn't kill Prof. Dumbledore. And about Malfoy?" Hermione said. Then, Prof McGonagall asked them to meet her in the headmistress office. "Harry, Ron, Hermione. Dumbledore had something to talk about to you" Then, she turn around show Dumbledore as he in the pictures of late Headmasters. "Hello Harry. Hello Mr Weasley. Hello Ms. Granger" Dumbledore said. "Prof. I wanted to ask you about Snape" Harry said. "Ah, I guess. Hagrid have given you my pensieve" The three of them nodded. "Yes… Snape had made a vow. The vow was about killing me. Voldemort asked Mr Malfoy to kill me but Narcissa, Mr. Malfoy's mother were not sure if he could do it. So, she made Snape to make a vow to make sure that Draco wouldn't be killed by Voldemort. As the result, If Draco didn't killed me Snape have to do it because he would die if he didn't" Dumbledore said. "Owh" Said Ron. "Snape would help you three in destroying the left of the Hocruxes" The three of them nodded. Then, they left. Harry explained to Ron and Hermione about the Hocruxes and what he and Dumbledore had done in last years. About the initials, Cups and so on. Then, she got a letter from Leanne (again)
