A New Addition

It started out normal. The sorting, the warnings, the feast. But when the time came for the speech, there was a surprise. Not for everyone, just Hermione.

"Two more things," McGonagall started, "The head boy and girl will need to stay and talk to me after the feast, and I would like to welcome our new potions teacher, Professor Webster. He will be taking over for Professor Severus Snape, who is now in Azkaban for the sad, sad incident last year. I would like you to all give him a nice, warm welcome to Hogwarts." And with that, everyone exploded into applause. Everyone except Hermione. She had suddenly gone pale, as pale as a vampire.

"Oh, no." she gasped.

Both Ron and Ginny looked at her, both were puzzled.

"What's wrong Hermione," Ginny asked. By this time the applause had died down.

Hermione snapped out of it and shook her head. "Ill tell you later," she whispered to Ginny, since Professor Webster had already begun to talk.

"Thank you for welcoming me here. I haven't been here for forever," his dark black hair fell into his eyes, his black robes accentuating his fair skin and delicate face. "Man, how I miss this place! After I left school, I moved to America, where I studied how American muggles lives differ from our lives. I am looking forward to a grand year and I hope all of ya'll are too."

"By the way, I stayed in the south, so I picked up their dialect. I hope ya'll have no problem with the way I talk, and I really do miss it there. Please be good for me this year, because as the Headmistress so kindly pointed out, there are more stringent security measures in place this year, some of which are going to be very noticeable in the next few days. I truly do look forward to this year with all of ya'll." He finished with one last glance around the hall, his eyes resting on Hermione and with that, he sat down.

The entire hall fell into whispers about this new teacher.

"What's going on Hermione? What is it?" Ginny and Hermione had to be the only two girls not commenting on his athletic build, or his perfect black eyes.

"I have seen him before. I know I have. In my dreams."

"If he came to me in my dreams, I wouldn't be complaining." Ginny said with a glance over her shoulder, back towards the staff table where he was sitting. He was leaning back with a casual grace, his mouth open in laughter.

"But these dreams are creepy. Not in that nightmarish creepy, but the kind of creepy that stays with you for no reason. You know the feeling, don't you?" She looked to Ginny for reassurance that she wasn't imagining things.

"I understand, but tell me about these dreams," Ginny glanced over at Harry thinking back to their 5th year when he had been dreaming about the Department of Mysteries. That hadn't ended well.

"It's not like that! I swear I don't think its real, or its happening, but more like he is trying to talk with me. Please don't talk about it anymore. I don't like it either, but since nothing has happened…" It took all her strength not to say yet.

"What's with the security measures?" Ginny asked.

"Oh! I forgot! McGonagall said we had to have someone stay with us this year! I have to share a common room with Malfoy, but I get to choose someone from my house to stay with me. Would you like to, Ginny?"

"I would love to."

They finished their food, and McGonagall dismissed them.

"Drakie! Who are you choosing to stay with you this year?" Pansy Parkinson squealed at Draco as he was getting up to leave.

"I dunno yet." He said, "Probably Blaize Zabini" He turned around to leave, and a squeal of protest came from behind him.

"But why not choose me!" Pansy whined. "We would have fun!"

"I already have someone to have fun with," Draco said thinking back to the train ride and his confession to Hermione.

"Certainly not that mudblood Granger!" Pansy said with a squeal of disgust.

"Never call her that!"

"What? Mudblood or Granger?"

"Either. Her name is Hermione."

"And she wonders why she's called a pig. Constantly squealing! It was enough to drive someone bloody insane!" Draco thought to himself. He turned around again and walked off, trying to drown out her squeals of protest.

"Oh! Shit! I forgot that I have to stay to talk to McGonagall!" Drake fled the pig and ran to the front of the hall, getting there only slightly before Hermione. He only gave her a slight glance, remembering how she wanted to talk to him later.

"I need to inform both of you on the new measures this year.

"Ok" both of them said at the same time.

"There, as always, will be absolutely no one allowed in the Forbidden Forest. No one, but you and the Professors. You will be on routine patrols there to make sure that there is nothing going on out of the ordinary. Do you understand?"

"Yes mam." Again they both spoke in unison.

"Both of you will be expected to have someone room with you to keep your hormones from getting the best of you. Please tell me now who they are."

"Ginny Weasly"

"Blaize Zabini"

"Good, now I expect both of you to not forget the schedules we talked about on the train. I will need them sooner then expected. As soon as tomorrow if possible."

"Ok…"

"Sure thing."

"Now, do you have any questions? Anything at all?"

"I'm good"

"So am I."

"Good. Then it's settled. You will start your patrols tomorrow night. You may go to your old house common room whenever you like. You will have to go tonight because you must let your other roommate know that they will be spending the nights at the Head's common.

"I suppose we can talk tomorrow night then," Draco asked Hermione.

"I suppose,"
