Chapter Thirteen
Staff Meeting
Harry moaned as he opened his eyes. The sun was just coming up. He looked at the time on his watch, and just about screamed. It was thirty minutes to seven. He jumped up, got quickly and rushed downstairs. He was met by a very tired, but firm looking Hermione.
"And where do you think you're going?"
"I have S-something to d-do…"
"What would that be?" Hermione looked like a mother who had caught her child sneaking out after hours.
"Professor McGonagall wanted me to meet her." Said Harry. Hermione gave him a look which plainly told him she didn't believe him.
"Look! I don't care if you don't believe me! I'll tell you when I get back, where I was! Now goodbye!" Harry ran past Harry before Hermione could say anything.
He ran for about five minutes, before he stepped in front of the portrait that led to the staff room. Harry gave it the password (Gryffinclaw) Harry stepped through the portrait and was met by tired, but cheery faces.
"Harry! Glad you could make it." Said Professor McGonagall, smiling at him. Harry waved at her. He took a seat next to Professor Sprout.
"I'm guessing you're all wondering what Potter is doing here?" McGonagall addressed the teachers. "He's going to be teaching Defence against the Dark arts." Harry smiled at the shocked looks the teachers were giving him. The teachers soon got over it.
"Oh, and Harry, if you want, you are now of age, and can become a legal animagus."
"Really?" Harry's eyes widened. McGonagall nodded her head.
"May Ron and Hermione join me too?" the old professor took a minute, and then nodded her head. Harry smiled, and leaned against his chair.
The talk turned to Homework, troubled students and Tests. After many minutes they were done. Harry jumped up.
"Potter, could you stay a sec?" Harry nodded, and waited till the room was clear, then turned to the Professor.
"Have you given any thought to what animal you want to become?"
"Not really…" Harry sighed.
"Well… We start any time you're ready… You may want to ask Weasley and Granger what they want to be." Harry nodded.
"How about we start next week?"
"That'd be fine… You may go now." Harry turned and ran out of the door, and ran to the portrait. He was about to say the password, when someone helloed his name. Harry looked around and saw Ginny hurrying to him. Harry walked over to her, and gave her a hug.
"Hey, love." Said Harry. Ginny smiled, and then kissed his neck. Harry smiled, and put his hand in hers, and walked her to the portrait. They clambered in the common room, and were met by both Ron and Hermione.
"So? Are you going to tell us what you were doing?" Asked Hermione.
"I'm the new Defence teacher…" Confessed Harry. Hermione's eyes grew wide, Ron paled, and Ginny squeezed his hand. Ginny dragged Harry away before anyone could say anything, and then sat him down on the couch. Ginny sat beside him. She out her head on his chest.
Harry watched the fire, thinking about Ginny. He loved her so much. So if he was going to have to die to save her… then that's what he'd do… He'd never leave her.
