Chapter Thirteen:

First Impression

Two hours and a lot of explaining later, Ginny and Draco landed in the forbidden forest in the same manners as Harry.

They came with new names and everything. Ginny now would be known as Ginny Wesley and Draco would be known as Draco Malfray, they would be looking to be the assistant teachers of Harry Porter who currently held the job.

The rest of their story would come about later so it could be intertwined with what ever Harry had said. The two trudged off to the school doing there best to avoid the creatures of the forest that seemed to all be wide awake.

MEANWHILE…

Harry was sitting at the staff table at dinner, he was as always looking over the students in general and thinking about their fates, and he occasionally joined in conversation with Professor McGonagall, or Professor Flitwick whom both sat on either side of him.

Half way through dinner, James Potter got out of his seat claiming to his friends that he had to go 'study' while really he was going to start working on a plan of revenge against their young professor Harry.

As he started walking the great halls doors opened with a bang, and in strolled, Ginny and Draco.

Harry did not notice this at first as he was deep in his thoughts. If he had seen he would have seen Ginny Weasley standing looking extremely mad, she was mad at the fact that Harry had not told her where he would be going, they had told each other everything well almost everything there feelings were left far out of there discussions.

Draco stood next to the fuming redhead just waiting to see what she would do next.

Ginny stood and stared, she saw James in the aisle between the Gryffindor, and Ravenclaw table, but mistook him right off the bat for Harry.

She marched right up to him and…

Harry was brought out of his musings by the sound of a large and loud slap, he jumped at the sound.

James stared straight at the stranger that had just walked straight up to him and slapped him across the face, he at first thought she was lily but then with a second glance he saw that he was mistaken she was not lily in fact he did not know who she was but Harry did.

Harry had scrambled down from the staff table realizing that Ginny had just slapped his future dad, and that Ginny and Draco surprisingly were here in the past with him.

"Err… Ginny" Harry said uncertainly from behind a little ways behind the shocked James, and angry Ginny Weasley- westly.

Ginny looked from Potter to Potter, James to Harry and back, she suddenly realized that she had in fact just smacked James Potter across the face, she looked apologetically at James before marching up to Harry.

A second slap was heard through the silent great hall, no one dared to laugh but they all wore looks of amusement. Their defense teacher who seemed to shrug Voldemort off as just a standing and walking puppet but cold not stand the wraith of a fiery red head.

"Ouch"

"Why the hell did you not tell me where you went" Ginny all but yelled forgetting completely that she was surrounded by students and teachers.

"Um… Sorry I-"

"Don't start with your excuses Harry Pot-Porter" she said again mentally kicking her arse for almost revealing Harry's real name.

By this point Draco had reached the two and was currently standing with an evil grin plastered on his face as he looked at the predicament Harry was in, no matter how good of friends they were they still got into playful squabbles and still insulted each other to no end it made life interesting.

Harry took notice of Draco's smile and commented "what are you laughing at?" He questioned, annoyed tat Draco was finding his situation utterly hilarious.

"You of course"

"Oh really well I don't think that your laughing hard enough then, Rictusempra" Harry said ready to duel.

Draco quickly had put up a shield that absorbed the spell, and returned with his own fight "Tarentagllera"

Harry dodged the spell by jumping five feet in the air, something that he had learnt to do in his training, to defeat Voldemort. The duel lasted five or so more minutes in which the two exchanged friendly spells before Harry knocked Draco off his feet with a leg sweeping charm and had taken his wand with a quick expelliarmus and a satisfied grin.

Harry walked over to his defeated friend and held out his hand to help him up, "welcome mate" he said simply.

He then turned his attention on the speechless audience, they knew that their professor had talent but they had never seen two wizards duel so swiftly, smoothly while only using the simplest of spells yet getting the same results that would take others more time and heavy spells, these people were definitely of interest.

"Professor Dumbledore sir, I feel that we might need to explain a few more things" Harry said with a small grin on his face he was really glad that some of his friends were here with him, even if he would be walking around with a red hand on his face for a few days and stubbed toe from dodging one of draco's curses it would be worth it.

Dumbledore simply nodded his head, his eyes twinkling like mad, as his mind tried to fit another piece in the jigsaw puzzle that would let him discover the complete mystery of Harry James Potter.

A.N. Okay so it was kind of short but it was to the point I could not resist having Ginny go out and slap him even if it was something a bit over the top.
