Previously

The Mages said their good-byes and left to tell the Weasley's the good news. They had a celebration for the successful teens and stayed up late with their small party. Ron was trying to find ways that his new professors could give him points. Hermione scolded him, but everyone else said they would consider it, enraging Hermione even more.

Chapter 11 – Summer's End and a Reunion

The last few remaining weeks of the summer blew by. The Mages were busy, as always, training themselves and Ron. Ron was proving himself quite a worthy fighter, nearly keeping up with Harry.

Two weeks from the beginning of school Harry took Ron to a small shop tucked away in Diagon Alley. There Harry bought Ron an amazing blade. It had a simple silver and black pommel, but it had no hand guard. Instead the pommel bulged out. Near the top of the bulge, two thin blades extended for about eight inches. At that point the two blades curved smoothly together, forming one blade. Another few inches up the blade a small circle was cut out of the bade and a few inches after that another, about the same length of the first cut. At the end the blade split and ended in two sharp points. Ron ecstatically belted it to his hip and stared at himself in a mirror. Harry noted that Ron needed robes similar to his own. So the next thing they did was just that, get Ron grey robes exactly like Harry's.

The last two weeks were spent the same as the rest, but making a teaching schedule Harry's DADA class. He planned on teaching the new students everything from magical defense to physical offense. Harry, Ron, Zach, and John returned to the sword shop and bought many shorter practice swords. They were nothing special, dull, but a spell had been placed so they swords could be instantly sharpened.

A few days from the beginning of school Harry received two letters, Hermione and Ginny got one letter. One letter that Harry received was from Hogwarts, the other similar to Hermione's and Ginny's. He opened the first to see the list he would need for teaching his DADA class and saw from his plans that he already had about everything. The other letter was from the Ministry saying that the three had just been declared as legal adults. Ron received his normal letter from Hogwarts, saying what books he would need and any other things.

At last it was the day before the start of term and at Dumbledore's request, all the Mages were to be at the school that day. They all hugged their now, if not already, surrogate mother, except for Ginny. They all said goodbye to Ron and he saluted them while laughing.

"We'll see you tomorrow Ron, and you had better be ready for class!" Hermione shouted to him from the back of Cirothe. The Mages had decided to arrive at Hogwarts by dragon back. During their stay at The Burrow the Mages hadn't had much time to just chat and have fun with their dragons.

"Right Hermione, I'll show you that I am not terrible at school!" He laughed back. Molly glared at him and led him back inside. The Mages nodded and they took to the sky, having a conversation with their dragons and just having fun. By the time they arrived at Hogwarts the sun was setting and the view of the castle in the dimming light from the sky was breathtaking. The ancient castle was bathed in an orange light, with a red and yellow sky hanging over the Forbidden Forest. They hung in the air for a moment to watch the sight before landing on the Hogwarts ground.

As they landed a few teacher emerged to welcome the Mages as professors. The other professors tried to lead the Mages into the Great Hall, but failed as the dragons held them back.

'You all must avoid one. His intentions are questionable. He is in the Great Hall and is extraordinarily angry that Harry got the Defense Against the Dark Arts position.'

'That would be Snape. He's evil, I just know it, but the world still says that he switched to the light.' Harry grumbled. Ginny gave his hand a reassuring squeeze to calm him a bit.

'Thanks Jargon. Can we go inside now?' John asked. Lex and Jargon, the ones barring their path, moved aside to join in the other aerial game.

'You dragons never seem to stop acting like children' Harry said to Chazor over a private link.

'Why should we? It's so much more fun to act like a child!' Chazor argued back. Harry shook his head and followed Ginny into the Great Hall. He immediately picked Snape out. The git was just sitting at his chair at the Head Table, glaring down at Harry.

"Welcome to Hogwarts as a professor Harry!" The happy voice of Dumbledore said, pulling Harry from his thoughts.

"Thank you Albus. I'm glad to be accepted as a professor and would like to thank all my previous professors for helping me on my way there." He smiled as the professors said their thanks.

"Harry, could I talk to you for a moment outside?" Dumbledore asked.

"Of course Headmaster." Harry replied. He followed Albus out of the Hall and just outside the doors into the school. Dumbledore turned with a more serious face, but he still had that twinkle in his eyes.

"Harry, I would like to ask you for a small favor. When the students arrive tomorrow, could you please practice while they pass? What with Voldemort back, morals need a boost and for people to see what you can do will give them that boost. So will you do it, and also train with your dragon to show off his abilities as well." Albus asked.

"Of course I could! Anything to help the wizarding world. I guess you never learned the names of our dragons." And with his promise to Dumbledore made he explained in more detail about each dragon.

The next day Harry woke early to make sure he had things ready for his classes. His first day he would pretty much tell them what they would be learning this year, followed by a quick, simple review of last years basics. He went through his classroom making sure that everything was where he needed it, and then returned to his room to shower and prepare for the day. Harry's room was set near the Gryffindor common room. Dumbledore had gotten a good idea of how close each Mage was and allowed each couple to share a room. Harry walked past Hermione and Zach's room to hear nothing but quiet snoring. 'Hermione is sleeping in? Is the world coming to an end?' Harry asked himself, accidentally letting it slip to one dragon in particular.

'Watch it Harry' He heard Cirothe growl. 'She is allowed to sleep in.'

'I didn't say she wasn't allowed to sleep in, it's just she has never done it in all the time I've known her.' Harry laughed.

'Alright, I'll let you off for this one.' Cirothe gave a very odd giggle. At least that's the best way Harry could put it. Just as Harry walked past Mary and John's rooms John stumbled out.

"Where do I get food?" John asked, looking at Harry groggily.

"How about getting dressed properly first?" Harry asked. John looked down at himself and realized that he was wearing worn looking old robes. "Then go down to the Great Hall… or I could ask Dobby." John looked at Harry oddly for a moment. "Dobby!" Harry shouted. With a small pop the house elf appeared in front of him.

"Can Dobby help Harry Potter?" Dobby asked Harry, bowing deeply.

"Now Dobby, just call me Harry alright?" The small elf shook his head yes. "Good, now could you bring some food up for the six of us, in each room please?"

"Of course! Dobby will help Master Harry anytime." And with that he disappeared with another soft pop.

"So, house elves, eh? John said, looking back at Harry.

"Of course, and Dobby feels the need to always help me because I freed him from his former Master." John just nodded and walked back into his room. Harry continued the last few steps to the portrait to his room. He told the password and walked through the opening. He saw Ginny was still asleep and was even more surprised to see a large platter of food sitting on a table on the far wall. Harry walked over a grabbed a piece of toast. He just stood for a minute, thinking about nothing in particular. He was roused from his thoughts by a rustling behind him. Harry turned to see Ginny sitting on the edge of the bed yawning widely. She smiled at him before spotting the food behind Harry.

"I didn't know the professors got food straight to their rooms." She said surprised, also picking up some toast.

"I don't think they normally do, but Dobby was kind enough to bring some up here for us." Harry informed. Ginny nodded and moved to take a shower. Harry got dressed and left for the Great Hall. He arrived to see a few professors quietly eating at the Head Table. But two people Harry instantly recognized made him trip over his own feet. He was sure he had broken his neck with how fast his head turned to look at the two people. They both smiled mischievously and beckoned him over.

"Hello Harry, miss us?" The woman asked.

"Have you kept up with everything?" The second person, a man asked.

"But… how? I thought you said you were stuck in that cave forever!" Harry stuttered. Adila and Honruh both chucked at the bewildered look on his face.

"We thought so too until Honruh here was digging and happened to find the surface. We both climbed out to find we were in the middle of a Diagon Alley. Do you know about Diagon Alley? Adila asked.

"All that time the entire British wizarding world was right above us." Harry said, stunned by the information.

"Yes it was. Anyway, Albus is allowing us to stay here. Oh, and congratulations on becoming a professor at Hogwarts. From what we hear it's one of the oldest and one of the best wizarding schools in the world." Honruh said. "And who's that big man? I was chatting with him and he seems to have a great knowledge on creatures. I would like to talk with him much more."

"That would be Hagrid. He was the one that first showed me the entire wizarding world." And with that Harry, Adila and Honruh. All had a long discussion, catching up on what they had missed. The three also watched in amusement as the remaining five mages came into the Hall and saw who was there. Harry laughed so hard he felt like his lungs were going to explode. The newly reunited had fun all day, showing Adila and Honruh what new things they could do and introducing Adila and Honruh to the other professors.

So this feels like a good place to end the chapter, or else this chapter would end up being two times longer than any other. Not that that's a bad thing . Remember, vote for Ron's girlfriend. Ill let you know the results at chapter 13! Review!
