Wulfric: Well, here it is, yet another installment in this twisted plot line I have

Tobias : Shut up, I hate to admit this, but this is actually decent.

Wulfric : I'm in shock now.. thanks..

Tobias : Don't get used to this. You are taking JK's characters, settings, spells, first 5 years...

Wulfric : Okay you can shut it now.


Over the next few days things were great. On Harry's birthday they had a small party in the Great Hall with the teachers, Hermione and Remus. Dumbledore asked if Harry wanted a bigger get together, but Harry said he had just wanted to be around people who cared about him. With all the time spent together without Ron, Harry and Hermione were becoming steadily closer. It wouldn't be long until they finally saw what it appeared everyone else saw. Some of the teachers, including Dumbledore and McGonagall, had a small betting ring set up just over this. In the second week of August, two owls came to breakfast with letters for Harry and Hermione. This was it, the day of the OWL results.

"Ah, Harry, my guess is that the results have finally come out. They are a bit later than they would usually be, because they had to review over one test a couple of times," said Albus a growing twinkle apparent in his eyes.

Harry looked at Hermione, who had somehow restrained herself from tearing the seal to shreds, and said, " Well, here we go." With that they both opened their results. As Harry read over his letter, his eyes widened and his jaw dropped.

Mr Potter-Dumbledore,

Your results can be found on the other piece of parchment enclosed. The results determine which classes you may take as your NEWTs, and determinally help decide your future.

OWL Results : 8 OWLS

(gold star) - To find marks any higher, one must go past Albus Dumbledore's scores and back at least 140 years.

(silver star) - To find marks any higher, one must go to Minerva McGonagall's scores.

(star) - To find marks any higher, one must go to Severus Snape's scores.

At this point Hermione began reading over his shoulder at his scores. " Harry! I didn't know you were that bright," she said jokingly. It wasn't until she read the bottom of the paper did she realize how bright he was. "Merlin Harry! You beat Albus, and almost beat Professors McGonagall and Snape!"

All Harry could do was nod his head, he was in complete shock. Albus watched this exchange, and said to Harry, " Alas, my reign has ended. No matter though, the lead still stays in my family. May I see your results Harry?" Harry just handed the paper to his guardian who read over it, and then noticed the 'Potter- Dumbledore' at the top. "Harry, did you add my name to the end of yours?"

The question awoke Harry from his shock who sheepishly grinned and answered, " Yes Albus. It only seemed right." Albus gave his, well he wanted to call him his son, the full look of pride, as he hugged him and praised him on his results.

" Hermione, what did you get? Straight O's as I predicted? " Harry asked her.

" Oh shut it Harry. That must be the reason you have an A in Divination. Yes, I have straight O's. Though my scores aren't as high as yours.." she trailed off.

"Let me see them. Hermione! You beat Flitwick's score, you have the highest known Arithmancy scores..and you have full marks in History of Magic. That itself is better than me since I only ever slept in that class, and that became apparent when dear old Voldie visited me during my OWL."

Giving Harry a playful punch on his shoulder she replied, " Alright. That is true. Without my notes you would have failed that class long ago in first year."

"Exactly Hermione. You're still the smartest witch here, well in students that is. I reckon McGonagall's still higher up than you. Especially if we remember that chess set of hers in our first year."

" So are you going to go on and be an auror now Harry? You have the grades for it," Hermione asked.

Harry had been thinking on his career choice, especially since he found out about the prophecy. " You know what Hermione, I don't think I want to. I've been battling one single sadistic manic my entire life so far. I don't think I want to do it for always. I was thinking of being, a teacher. A Defense Aganist the Dark Arts teacher to be exact"

"Harry! You'd be great at that. Especially after the DA last year. With you in the post, the students would be sure to learn everything they needed, and a few other things of course." Hermione said in basically one breath.

" Yea, I think I'll continue with DADA, Charms, Transfiguration, Potions, and.. hm.. Care of Magical Creatures." Harry said as he thought on it.

" I'm going to take those as well, along with Arithmancy. I might also come back and teach, though I'd teach Arithmancy instead. It's more of my element at times."

A few days later Hermione and Harry went to Diagon Alley with Albus and Minerva. They didn't run into Ron while they were there, but they went into the twin's shop where Harry loaded up on anything and everything he could. Just so his guardian and head of house didn't see, he asked Hermione to keep them occupied as he bought a few things and handled a huge mail order that would be delievered to him. The reason for the mail order was simple, so Albus didn't know what all Harry was buying. He was going to cause a bit of mischef this year, and he knew if he was caught, things wouldn't be easy for him.

Sadly though after they finished getting all their school supplies, Hermione had to return home. She'd be catching the train to school, while Harry decided he'd just remain in the school. Ron hadn't sent any word to Harry, so he didn't want to have any chances of there being a scene on the train or anything like that.

A few days before school started, Albus recived word of an emergency meeting that he had to rush off to. After leaving a note for Harry that said he'd be back as soon as possible, he flooed off.


a/n : Okay i know Harry's results are like.. so far off its not funny. Well.. oops, sorry i just wanted the poor boy to be happy about something.. now the beating of Dumbledore's is possible, cause we know Harry is über good at DADA, Transfigurations well, he didnt beat Minerva, but i wanted him to be happy. As for Snapes, it's possible.. cause well Snapes a bat and without him, Harry seems to do much better.

My reviewers, I love you all. Seriously.

Wulfric.


Tobias: There, another chapter of yours done and being sent up.

Wulfric : Yea, but this time I'm not starting on a new chapter right away.

Tobias : And why would that be?

Wulfric : I need to get out my pitchforks, and I have a feeling my best one needs sharpened.

Tobias : PITCHFORKS!

Wulfric : Yea, incase I need to lead a revolt later. Duh.

(sharpening of pitchforks can be heard.)

Tobias : Oh yea, I forgot how addicted to that one story you are..

Wulfric: Shut up.
