Hello Reader! I know it's been a long time since I've updated and that I said I'd update every Friday but personal family matters happened and I wasn't able to but I'm back! From now on I'll try and update every Monday and Friday! Also I had a question for you all. Would you like Hermione to stay an evil two faced bitch who really doesn't care for Harry or would you like her to actually show she really does care about Harry? It's up to you all just let me know before Friday! Thank you all who still read this story and have stuck with it! Also I wanted to warn you all again that this story will be getting darker as the chapters go on so be warned!
Charlie sighed loudly and pinched the bridge of his nose, he truly had no idea why he had to suffer being surrounded by annoying brats.
He glanced around the room and wanted to slam his head into a wall because not only was he dealing with third years but it was Gryffindor and Slytherin, Dumbledore must really hate him.
Charlie picked up a book and slammed it on the table effectively getting everyone's attention on him. He smirked nodding. "Great now that I have your attention I'll introduce myself and we'll go over what we will be covering in this class."
Before Charlie could go on he was interrupted by someone scoffing. He looked over seeing a boy with light blonde hair and stormy blue eyes sneering up at him. "No need to introduce yourself, we all know your Potters uncle."
Charlie nodded in agreement. "Yeah your right I'm Harry's uncle my names Charlus but outside of class call me Charlie and during class hours it's professor."
He cut himself off when he heard the blonde scoff again and put his full attention on the blonde. "Is there something you'd like to say Mr. Malfoy?"
Draco looked at him still sneering. "Actually, there is, I think this is a load of crap you're just going to favor Potter and the little lions so why even try and play fair teacher? Beside it's history of magic we go over the same thing every year! I don't need some Gryffindor half-blood teaching me anything!"
Charlie was silent through the blonde's whole tirade and once finished he made his way towards the blonde. Draco looked up at him glaring daring him to do something.
Charlie in the blink of an eye had jerked Draco from his chair by his hair and had his head jerked back so he was looking Charlie in the eyes. "Listen here you little shit, you may think you can get away with shit from other teachers but I promise you boy I am not like the other teachers, I don't give two shits about your daddy or your blood status so you better watch yourself while in my class."
Charlie shoved Draco back making him fall into his chair looking shocked. The brunette walked up to the front shooting a glare at all the students. "Now then if that's all let's continue."
No one else spoke up all still wide eyed at the display from moment ago. Charlie smirked and flicked his wrist sending books to every student's desk. "In this class, we won't be going over the usual boring stuff, we'll be learning about useful things like Grindlewald and Voldemort among other things."
Charlie turned to the board but paused a moment and looked back at the Slytherins. "Oh and just so you know I was a Slytherin when I went to school, thought you'd like to know."

Charlie flopped down into his chair after his first class already tired. He looked up when he saw someone standing in front of him. He rose an eyebrow curious about what they wanted.
Ron and Hermione stood in front of him both looking serious. He leaned forward looking bored. "Something I can help you both with?"
Ron nodded glaring. "You may be Harry's uncle but we won't let you corrupt him! We'll make sure he sees your true colors and when he does he'll drop you in a second no good death eater."
Charlie eyes glinted and he smirked maliciously and stood leaning towards the two. "I lost him once so I promise you I will not lose him again and if either of you try and get in my way well let's just say you may not make it to graduation."
Charlie took a step toward them making them stumble back away from him in fear. "Also if you suspect me of being a death eater what gave you the good idea to just come up to me? Think your safe inside these walls? Safe because your MY Harry's friends? Well I promise you none of that means a damn thing! It only takes a second to end someone."
They both had wide eyes and Charlie scoffed moving away from his desk. He made a shooing motion. "If that's all then please get out of my classroom it's bad enough I have to deal with you both at other times."
Ron wanted to start screaming at the new teacher but Hermione pulled him away quickly quite worried he would do something. Charlie chuckled watching them walk away.
One thing was bugging him about the ordeal though. 'How the hell did they know about me being a death eater? Did Dumbledick tell them?' Charlie shook his head, it wasn't important he'd deal with it later.
Charlie stood intent on finding his Harry because he was bored and didn't have another class until later.
The older Potter took off away from his classroom. He walked the halls for a couple minutes before coming upon something interesting. He peaked his head into Remus class and saw the students lining up in front of a closet.
"Ah Professor Potter why not come join us instead of hiding behind the door hmm?" Remus wasn't even looking towards him! How the hell did he know he was there?
Charlie stepped out from behind the door huffing. "I wasn't hiding I was observing and I was looking for Harry."
Said boy poked his head out of the group looking concerned. "Is something wrong? Why were you looking for me Charlie?"
The older brunette shrugged not having a real answer. "I was bored so I thought I'd go looking for you anyways don't mind me carry on."
The class carried on for a while until Harry's turn came up and the boggart swirled around before changing into a dementor. Harry was too shocked to do anything but stand there.
Charlie ran forward pulling Harry away from the boggart and it started spinning. When finished two people stood there, Harry and another man with short slightly curly brunette hair and crimson eyes.
The older Potter stared at the two intently, horrified. The two boggarts pulled their wands out firing dangerous and deadly curses at each other. Charlie screamed rushing towards the two. "Stop!"
The boggarts turned to him wand raised and started to call out. "Avada Ke-"
Remus shoved Charlie away harshly standing in front of the boggart making it turn into the full moon. He waved his wand calling out. "Ridikulus!"
The boggart turned into a deflating balloon and Remus made it fly back into the wardrobe. Everyone in the class was silent especially Harry who knew exactly who the other person was.
Charlie was pale eyes wild looking and fearful. "I, I have a class if anyone needs me I'll be in my room."
The students turned to Remus for answers. One of the Slytherins called out. "What was up with the professor's boggart? Who was the other person?"
Remus sighed looking to the students. "Professor Potters boggart is simple; his greatest fear is the two people he loves the most trying to kill the other and in the end being killed by one of them."
Harry couldn't believe what he was hearing. His uncle, his soulmate, and the last of his family had feelings for the dark lord for the one who killed his parents and was trying to kill him.
-(Break)-
Charlie punched the wall in his classroom mad at himself for allowing Harry to see one of his darkest secrets. He sighed running a hand through his hair.
The door to his room slammed open with incredible force. No doubt uncontrolled magic behind some of the force. "You liar!"
Charlie turned around and saw Harry glaring with a look of utter betrayal in his eyes. "I have never once lied to you Harry and I swore to you I never would, please just calm down for a minute and let me explain!"
Ron who had tagged along with Hermione spoke up. "You're a no-good death eater! I bet this was all your plan from the start, catch Harry off guard then take him to Voldemort yourself!"
Charlie felt his self-restraint snap. A wave of pure uncontrolled magic poured from him, crushing the tables and chairs and flinging things around. He started walking towards the red head.
Charlies eyes were full of rage as he spoke. "Don't you EVER say I would put Harry in harm's way! You know nothing you little insignificant blood traitor! You talk about putting Harry in harm's way when you'd sacrifice him in a second on Dumbledores orders, Harry is MINE!"
The older Potters hand shot forward grabbing Ron by the neck and lifting him up. The other two were in too much shock to try and help him. "I may have been a death eater I may have loved Tom Riddle with all my heart but none of that will ever be more important than my family!"
A hand on his shoulder snapped him out of his rage. He looked back seeing Harry with a stern look. "Let him go Charlie, now!"
Charlie hesitated for only a moment before releasing his hold on the red heads neck. He took a step back looking lost and desperate. Turning to look at Harry he begged with pleading eyes. "Please Harry let me explain! Don't let them manipulate you into leaving me."
Hermione looked to Harry expectantly. "Harry you seen what he did to Ron, he's not safe to be around, you know this! You barely know him we've been with you for three years now we're your friends you can trust us."
Charlie knew he was losing Harry and fast so he did the only thing he could think of, he brought up Harry's past. "They call themselves your friends but did they ever once help you out when you were forced to stay with Petunia!"
Harry looked over to him confused. "What are you talking about Charlie?" Hermione looked slightly worried now.
Charlie smirked delighted knowing he caught Harry attention. "Did you know there is a summer program here at Hogwarts for students who don't have parents, did you also know that in the wizarding world a pureblood family can take in an orphaned witch or wizard for the summer, and that's not all in your second year it wasn't Ron's idea to go and save you from the Dursley's it was the twins idea."
Harry couldn't believe what he was hearing. All this time he could have been safe away from the Dursley's and their abuse. "For people who claim to be your friends my dear Harry, they sure haven't been there for you at all have they?"
Hermione glared at him and snapped. "Oh and what about you? You claim that you didn't know where Harry was or that he was even alive yet it was celebrated all over the wizarding world when Voldemort died! How is it possible that you didn't know Harry was the one who killed him and that he was still alive and well?"
The battle was going back and forth and Harry was becoming more confused by the minute but Hermione did have a point so Harry looked to Charlie wandering what his uncle would say.
Charlie sighed rubbing his head. "I told you I was in Romania when the attack happened, I knew about the attack afterwards and I knew Harry had lived somehow because my bond told me, but when I got back to Britain everyone had stopped celebrating. I went straight to Dumbledore to demand he give me my Harry but he told me that they had got there and some death eaters were there, that they had Harry and disappeared with him, I didn't think to question it I just believed him and because of that I tore my way through every death eater I came across to the point if Voldemort saw me now he'd kill me on sight."
Hermione didn't seem to like that answer because she could see Charlie had managed to win Harry back to his side.
Harry sighed rubbing his head tiredly. "Alright I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for now but I'm still mad at you so I'll be staying in my dorm for the next few days to think everything through."
Charlie was not pleased with this new arrangement and opened his mouth to protest but Harry gave him a look causing him to shut his mouth frowning. He watched as Harry left with Hermione and Ron anger rising in him fast.
Charlie punched the wall in rage eyes burning with hatred for Harry's so called 'friends'. "I will not let them continue to poison my Harry, they've had three years and I will allow it no longer."
"I agree with you professor." Charlie twitched, the only sign that he had been shocked by the new arrival. He turned to see who it was and was even more shocked.
Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom were standing in the entry way of his classroom both looking serious. Neville stepped up looking into Charlies eyes. "We need to talk professor."
