Ch.7 Haha I'm Back Baby!

Remus sighed in frustration as he opened the door to the last compartment on the train and found James and Sirius behind it.

"What? You couldn't wait for me on the platform? It took me forever to find you guys."

"Um…sorry?" James and Sirius said in unison not sounding sorry at all. Remus just rolled his eyes

"Whatever"

"Have you seen Peter any where?" James asked

"No, I haven't seen him all summer actually. He didn't right or anything. Have you two here from him?"

"No we haven't" Sirius piped up "What about that new kid? Larry…no Harry was it? Have you seen him I wanted to meet him because you seemed so excited about it when we went to Diagon ally together but I haven't seen any one new except for first years"

"Come to think of it I haven't seen him either, just so you know he looks a lot like you, James so he shouldn't be that hard to spot"

Just then the door slid open again and there stood Peter (cough rat bastard cough, cough) looking just as nervous as ever. "Hey…hey g…guys" he stuttered.

"Hey Peter where have you been have herd from you all summer." Peter looked like a deer in headlights.

"A…a…a…these…these are not the answers you're looking for…" he waved his hand slowly as he said it and then turned and bolted down the hallway of the train as fast as his fat little legs would carry him. (A/N: incase you're too stupid to get the joke he's trying to do the Jedi mind trick) the rest of the Marauders looked on in confusion.

"Wait I'm confused. What just happened?" Sirius asked

"Fuck if I know" James shrugged.

Else Where

Harry was setting up his office at the last moment being the procrastinator that he was there was only an hour left till the sorting and opening feast and Sirius wasn't exactly helping…more like angering Ginny every chance he got weather it was purposeful or not. So it was only moments ago before he finally got them to settle in to their respective rooms and not bother each other so he could get out of the house and get to work. He had just gotten all his books away in the shelves when a very young Madam Hooch popped her head in the door way.

"Hey newbie, the students are about to arrive better get to the great hall"

"Oh, thanks for the warring, Professor…" He pretended to draw a blank if only for the sake of appearances.

"Oh, Hooch. It's actually madam hooch not professor. I teach the first years flying lessons and I'm also the Quidditch director for the school."

"I'm Harry Patterson. I'm the new DADA teacher but you probably already knew that last bit though." Then they herd the train whistle from the Hogwarts express from the station in Hogsmeade.

"We better get to the great hall the students will be here any minute"

Moments Later in The Great Hall

The Marauders found their way to the Gryffindor table and Peter was still no ware to be found. Right before McGonagall entered the hall with the terrified first years Remus noticed something at the staff table.

"Hey that's the guy I met at Diagon Ally, I thought he was another student not a teacher"

"That's the guy? He does look a lot like me."

"Seems a bit young doesn't he? To be teaching that is. I mean the guy can't be more then a few years older then us can he? Hell Moony thought he was another student when he first saw him."

At the end of the sorting Dumbledore got up to make his start of term speech letting the first years know that the forbidden forest is just that and not to do magic in the hall ways and that curfew was at eleven. then he got around to introducing the new member of the staff namely Harry.

"I'd like to introduce our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher Professor Harry Patterson" the student body clapped politely and Harry waved. "Would you like to say a few words Professor?" Dumbledore asked.

Harry nodded vigorously and stood up to address the crowd of students "Twaddle, Mukluk, Poodle, Didgeridoo, and Poppycock." He said and then sat back down. Then some of the older students seemed to realized why Dumbledore would hire such a young guy to be their teacher, they where both out of each others mind. Surprisingly the rest of the feast ended with out incident.

The next morning the marauders plus Lily headed down to breakfast and noticed that professor Patterson wasn't there.

"Wander where he could be?" Lily said.

"Well, sometimes teachers take their meals in their rooms. Besides we have his class first thing so we can ask him then if you really want to know." Remus said and that seemed to be a pretty good explanation so they just let the subject of Professor Patterson's absence from breakfast drop.

After they finished eating the headed off to the DADA class room Professor Patterson wasn't there yet but they were a few minutes early so they sat down in their usual sets and talked until the rest of the class started fill in. The last person to enter the room was Professor Patterson.

"Hello every one, welcome to seventh year defense, I'm Professor Harry Patterson, but you can call me Harry. In fact if you call me Professor Patterson I'll take off house points." He laughed but the students just stared at him "but seriously I will take off points if you call me that it makes me feel old"

"And just how old are you?" a snotty self-important Slytherin asked from the back of the room.

"I am twenty, why?"

"You're only a few years older then us what can you possibly teach us?" an even less pleasant looking Slytherin asked.

"Well I can teach you to shut the fuck up. How about that smarty pants?" the class gasped at the swearing. And the marauders sniggered.

"You can't talk to me like that! Do you know who my father is?!"

"I just did talk to you like that thus proving I can. And no I don't know who your father is nor do I care."

"Wait till my father hears about this!" the outraged Slytherin continued Harry yawned but it went unnoticed. "You'll regret ever setting foot in the classro…"

"Yawn" Harry said interrupting the little jerks rant "you see I say yawn because when I actually do yawn you don't get it. By the way you have detention with who ever is the most horrible to have them with. Anyway are there any more questions for me?" One of the Gryffindor girls raised her hand "yes miss?"

"Dalton, Charlotte Dolton. I was wondering if you had a girlfriend." She asked giving him the goo-goo eyes

"No I don't have a girlfriend" her eyes lit up "My wife won't let me have one" then she slouched and groaned in frustration.
