Takes place during order of the phoenix but only loosely based on canon. There's a lot of stuff that contradicts canon, don't let it confuse you.
Another year at hogwarts. It should be a cheerful time for Harry, escaping from number four privet drive. But he was starting to feel a bit of longing for his home with the dursleys. It was no better than being here with Umbridge. She had recently been appointed headmaster, ruining the school and everything good lefr about it. Fred and George had left, too. Nothing could get worse now. He couldn't talk to Dumbledore, not even Sirius. He wished he could lay in his bed forever. But he got up and made himself leave, he had to make his way to his first class of the day, Charms. As he walked down the hallway, he heard some peculiar things. People talking about a new professor. Harry quickly jumped into a conversation. "New professor? Who? For what subject?" He quickly noticed that among the group he was speaking to was Cho Chang. He blushed. "Oh, sorry for jumping in like that.." The girls giggled happily. "We don't know who it is, but they're saying he's attractive, and blonde!" One girl piped up. Harry rolled his eyes. Oh god, not another professor appointed by Umbridge. "He sounds like a round two of Gilderoy Lockhart." Harry snapped sassily. The girls sighed. "I wish. He was sorta cute.." one girl said dreamily. Harry scoffed and walked away. Cho watched him leave, dissapointed, looking at him longingly, as if she desperately wanted to say something. On the way, harry noticed Draco looking more smug than usual, boasting happily to his friends. As he walked, he became increasingly more annoyed by Draco's voice. He stomped over to him. "What do you have to boast about, Malfoy? Did you forget that your father is in azkaban?" To Harry's surprise, Draco and his cronies all began to laugh wildly. "Oh, you'll find out soon enough, Potter!" Draco remarked joyfully. "Now move out of my way. I have somewhere to be." Draco began to head towards the charms classroom, exactly where Harry was going. Harry stopped him. "The Griffindors are in charms class right now. Not the slytherins." Harry said. Draco laughed again. "The Griffindors and Slytherins will be having charms together from now on, Potter." Harry's stomach plummeted. "But that's not even the best part, Potter. You'll just have to wait and see." Draco's friends all broke out in hysterical laughter again. Harry wanted to punch them, but he turned around and kept walking. Just have to wait and see... what could that mean?
