The students entered the Great Hall that stands its beauty. Hundreds of candles admire the ceiling of the ancient building as the ghost from all different houses welcome the students. The first entered the Great Hall led by Prof. McGonagall. The sorting began and ended leaving the Hufflefuff with 6, 3 in Slytherin, Gryffindors gained 7 while Ravenclaws have 5. Instant silence engulfed the Hall when the hundred fifthy year old headmaster stood.

"Welcome, Welcome to another year at Hogwarts, now that sorting it finished i would like to say a few words, bofle, dofle, nocle, swick" with that all tables were filled with foods and drink.

"That in one of the weirdest speech I ever heard from the headmaster" Ron said filling his plate with food that to Hermione's opinion very impossible to finished.

"Really Ron could you finish that up?" the bushy brunette girl ask

"Drop it Hermione, not even mom could change Ron's attitude" Ginny advice.

Everyone is enjoying there food when Fred passed by and handed Harry a piece of parchment away from the view of everyone else. Harry was so caught up with his conversation with Ron decided to open it later. Few more hours and the last curse vanished along with the left over leaving the tables and plates sparkling clean. Dumbledore stood up for the second time and instant filled the Hall

"now that all of us were fed, I would like to make a few announcement" he said looking the sea of faces "I would like to introduced to you your news D.A.D.A. Teacher, Prof. Snape" with that the Great hall was filled with whispers while the Slytherin house clap for their head of the house for finally getting the position he wanted.

"WHAT!" Ron shouted out loud "he must be joking"

"There's no way I'll be able to pass my DADA now, I mean Snape the terror" Finnigan complained. All the while, Harry just kept quiet while looking at Prof. Snape with calculating look in his eyes.

"now, now, don't you worry because your new potion master is non other than Prof. Slugborn, his been a teacher here before and I can assure you that he is definitely a master in potion" Dumbledore assured his student "now all was said, I must bead all of you good night" with that the students started filling out of the great hall, all were discussing on what happened a couple of seconds ago.

"I can't believed it, Snape the new DADA teacher, I mean why would Prof. Dumbledore gave Snape the position he denied for years" Ron pointed out

"He has a point you know" Neville said walking beside Ron

"Honestly guys, be respectful and besides the only reason you hate him is because you always failed at his class" Hermione defended. Harry said nothing to this.

The next day, the Gryffindor friends went down for an early breakfast only to be greeted by the most unwelcome news.

"Do you think he will cool down, now that he got the subject he longed for years?" Neville ask filing his plate with food.

"No, on the contrary he'll get worsted" Hermione answered

"I hope not" Harry said

"I don't know about you but I'm reading my DADA 5, Merlin knows what Prof. Snape will do in his first day of class!" Neville suddenly said with dread.

"I second that" Harry said as he pulled out his DADA 5 from his bag.

"Good point" Hermione said getting her book as well.

"Come on guys we don't even know our schedule yet" Ron defense

"Better ready than be sorry" Ginny advised.

"Whatever" Ron said. Moments later Prof. McGonagall started distributing their scheduled. "Holy shit we got DADA first" with that Ron drop his spoon and fork and started reading his book.

"That's what I'm talking about" Ginny said with a smug in her face.

Owls started arriving, delivering daily prophet and mails. Hermione got her copy along with some other students. After seconds of delivery whispers started filling up the Great Hall. Students started looking or pointing at Harry.

"What now?" Harry said irritated

"This" Hermione said passing to him a copy of Daily Prophet.

"WHAT!" Harry shouted after reading the Daily Prophet.

THE-BOY-WHO-LIED

By Rita Sneeker

The boy-who-lived is now-the-boy-who-lied as he proclaimed the returned of he-who-must-not-be-named. The ministered as assured that you know who is not back and will never return.

But many people still questioned the events of last year asking for explanation on the appearance of the dark mark . . .

The article goes on and on. Harry couldn't take it anymore. How the ministry could deny such truth? How long are they going to hide this? Stares and whispers, Harry stood up and left the Great Hall followed by his friends. They went straight to DADA class and stayed at the back in silence. After the event in the Great Hall, all Harry could wish for is a normal school day for he could no longer stand if there are more obstacles for that single day.
