Why'd I do that.

That week passed. Protection spells were put up, Dragons flew around patrolling the school grounds, nightly patrols were organized, and the teachers had their lesson plans. Tonight was the Beginning of the Year Feast. All was going well, andthe Minister was personally going to come. Artemis foundout where she was going to sit, which was right next to Andrei. Artemis was wearing white robes witha bright blue trim over a pale blue dress, with a white trim. Minerva, who was now the deputy head was talking to Sybill. Artemis went into the shadows, hoping not to be seen. Sybillshrieked, "I cannot take working with this centaur any longer. I QUIT!" Before Minerva could reply, Sybill was gone.

"Minerva." Andrei said walking up to Minerva. "Firenze just quit. He can't take working with Sybill."

"Well, Sybill just quit too." Minerva said.

"What!? How the heck are we supposed to get a new Divination professor in 1 hour!" Andrei said. Neville walked up.

"Luna." He said. "I can get my friend Luna to do that."

"Are you sure?" Andrei asked.

"Positive. She'll be here before the feast starts." Neville said.

"Great." Andrei said. He looked in Artemis' direction. "We can see you Artemis."

"Drat." Artemis muttered.

"You'd better go ahead and check on the Ravenclaw common room." Andrei said.

"Okay then." Artemis said. She walked off. The trip took about fifteen minutes, then she ran into Jacob, the minister. "Oh..er..sorry." Artemis said softly.

"No worries." Jacob said. "I...erm...sorta got lost. Where's the Great Hall."

"Just go down this hallway, take the second opening to the right, keep going and then go right again." Artemis said.

"Thanks." Jacob said. He left and Artemis continued on. When she got close to the entrance, Artemis gasped. She saw someone that didn't work here at Hogwarts, and she just saw the minister. Who was that? As quickly as Artemis blinked, the person was gone. She went toward the common room, answered the riddle, and went in. Shock flooded over Artemis. One of the couches had upturned cushions. A few papers were scattered. Something was up, but Artemis couldn't worry about it right now. She cleaned up the room which took about half an hour. Artemis jumped when the Grey Lady came up to her.

"Artemis." The Grey Lady said to her. "It's almost time for the feast."

"What!" Artemis sprinted out of the common room, which looked normal now. Running, it was a ten minute trip. She went into the great hall and sat down in her chair moments before the 2nd-7th years walked in. To no surprise, Jacob was sitting next to her. Minerva's seat was empty because she was talking to the first years.

"Artemis." Andrei whispered to her. "I'll introduce you to the students when the first years are sorted."

"Okay." Artemis said. She looked around. "Wait, where's Neville?"

"I'm here." Neville said walking up with Luna. "Luna, staff, staff, Luna."

"I'm glad to be here. Who's the head of Ravenclaw?" Luna said.

"Er..that would be me." Artemis said as she turned red.

"Luna, go ahead and sit next to Neville." Andrei said. Luna nodded anddid just that. Then Minerva walked in withthe first years behind her. Andrei gave Minerva the sorting hat, and Minerva said the usual thing about how it would go. Names were called. Lots of names, then one in paticular made everyone perk up.

"James Potter." Minerva called. Artemis perked up. She had heard about Harry Potter and his trio. The Golden Trio, as they were called. James looked egarly around, but got a confused look when he saw Artemis. He sat on the stool and what the hat called was no surprise.

"GRYFFINDOR!" The Sorting Hat called. Cheers spread around the Gryffindor table. Other than him, nothing of interest. There was a fairly good amount of Ravenclaws.

"I have a few beginning of the year announcements. First of all I would like to introduce our new History of Magic professor, Professor DeLye." Artemis stood up and gave a curt nod. She then sat down again. Murmurs spread through the room. "Next, I would like to introduce our new Divination teacher, Professor Lovegood." Luna stood up and gave a curt nod. More murmurs spread. "And I would aslolike to remindeveryone that the Forbidden Forest is off limits to all students." Andrei went on with the usual stuff, and at last he said, "Let the feast begin." Artemis looked at the food which appeared. She took a few bread rolls andsome of the chicken. As she placed the some of the chicken in her mouth, she savored the rich taste of the delicious chicken.

"Now I am begining to get a bit worried." Artemis said softly to Andrei. "Some of the students might not listen to me, considering my age."

"Don't worry." Andrei reassured her. "They'll listen to you. Well, mostly. I make no promises about the seventh years."

"Wow, that reassures me a bunch." Artemis replied sarcastically.

"I will say again, don't worry." Andrei said. "I was nervous when I first became headmaster. But now I love it."

"That reassures me." Artemis said taking a bite off of her bread. She looked over at James, who was talking with other Gryffindors and looking at her. Artemis pushed that out of her head and continued to eat.

While Artemis did that, James was talking to the prefect sitting next to them. "Who's that professor?" James asked the prefect.

"Which one?" The prefect asked back.

"The one by the headmaster." James answered.

"Did you at all listen to the annoucements the headmaster said?" the prefect asked with annoyance.

"Maybe....." James whispered softly.

"That's Professor DeLye." the prefect explained. "She teaches History of Magic."

"How long has she taught here?" James heard a girl ask.

"This is her first year." the prefect answered. "I know she looks like she's barely past her seventh year, but she is still a professor. She's also head of Ravenclaw house."

"What the!?" another boy said in shock.

"I know, hard to believe." The prefect said. "But I still don't know why Professor Binns retired. I mean he's a ghost! But he did what he did and that's how it is now. No more questions."

"Hi, you must be James Potter." the girl said. "I'm Janette Hirriam. This is my friend, Kyle Turner." She pointed over to the boy next to her. Jannette had pale brown hair and blue eyes. Kyle had blond hair and green eyes.

"Nice to meet you." James replied. Then a ghost popped out from from the bowl of chicken-wings infront of Kyle.

"GAH!" He shrieked.

"Hello." the ghost said.

"Hello sir Nicholas." the prefect said to the ghost.

"Nearly Headless Nick?" James asked in shock.

"Yes." Nick replied. The other ghosts popped out soon after, one of which swooped over to Professor DeLye. Professor DeLye just nodded and the ghost left.

"I can't wait for classes to start." James muttered. And end. James added silently in his head.

Soon after the ghost appeared the Grey Lady came up to Artemis. "Artemis, the common roo-"

"I know." Artemis replied calmly. "But before I went in, I saw someone. As quick as I saw him he was gone."

"I checked the common room over and a very old coin is missing." The Grey Lady told Artemis. Artemis bit her lip.

"I'll see what I can do." Artemis replied after what seemed like ages.

"Thank you Artemis." The grey Lady thanked Artemis and left. Artemis noticed that James was looking at her again. She looked at the clock and finished up her dinner quickly. The dessert appeared now and Artemis got a small cinnamon bun. She took abite and savored the flavorful dessert.

Five minutes passed and Artemis couldn't eat another bite. It was almost time to go back to the common rooms. "Artemis." Neville whispered to her. "Be sure to make the lessons more intresting that Professor Binns did." Artemis gave out a small giggle.

"Trust me, I will." Artemis replied to Neville. Andrei called for all the prefects to lead the first years to the common rooms, and with that, Artemis left. She tried to get to the common room before the students got there so that she could finished cleaning the mysterious common room mess. To her luck, she did. Artemis gave a curt nod and then left. "What will I do about this?" Artemis groaned to herself. She knew her answer at once.

I don't know.
