Chapter Six:

Confused

Two days later:

Harry was waiting patiently outside the headmaster's office for Dumbledore. The students had returned from there glorious summer vacations the day before, Ginny among them, and were currently eating there breakfasts before they headed off for their first lessons.

Ten minutes later, Dumbledore rounded the corner and approached Harry who was casually leaning against the stone gargoyle that led up to Dumbledore's office.

"Mr. Potter I am glad that you could fit me into your busy schedule" Dumbledore said with a strong twinkle in his eye that he only possessed for Harry, amusement played in hi voice for he knew all to well that Harry hated that he was getting so much attention and some much chaos.

Harry rolled his eyes at his ex-headmaster, before smiling a little.

"Well then shall we go in to further discuss what I have brought you here for more privately, lightening lolly" he said with a smile.

Harry groaned of all candies Dumbledore had to choose the one that had been named after him. They together climbed the stairs and entered the office that never ceased to amaze Harry.

Taking a seat across from each other, they talked the usual small talk first consisting of how they were doing, what they were doing, and what flavor Bertie botts every flavored bean they like best.

As they finished the polite chat, Harry suddenly remembered that he needed to ask Dumbledore to borrow his Defense against the dark arts teaching records, for Ginny.

"Um... Professor"

"Albus, Harry I am no longer your headmaster" Dumbledore said plainly.

"Albus," Harry started again feeling extremely odd to call his old headmaster by his first name, "I was wondering if I might be able to borrow the defense against the dark arts teaching records?"

Dumbledore in a way looked shocked for a reason Harry had yet to realize, after a minute or two of silence Dumbledore spoke again, " Why that is a mystery and a half,"

"Sorry what is?"

"The very thing you asked for happens to be part of the reason that you are here today." Dumbledore said plainly stating 'the obvious'.

Dumbledore than bent down (lower than anyone would think he could) to retrieve a thick file from the bottom drawer of his desk, missing Harry's very confused expression.

Rising a minute later, Dumbledore handed Harry the file clearly marked DADA teaching file.

"Read this quickly and then I will be able to further explain what I brought you here for."

Harry put on a questioning face, but took the folder and flipped to the first page,

Harry stopped right there more confused then ever and reread the line sure enough it said Harry Potter, but that could not be possible that was him.
