Yea, I got more reviews thank you all so much.
Voldemort: You're in a good mood.
Hikari: And you're not, like always. :)
Voldemort: You're such an oddball.
Hikari: Why thank you, I take that as a compliment. Anyway the disclaimer is in Chapter 1 and Chapter 2, now on with Chapter 4 where we meet a new DADA teacher and a ministry official. Oh yea, for the record there is one or two spoilers for the fifth book if you never read it, but most people probably have, but just in case.
Voldemort: Is it that toad woman?
Hikari: I'm not telling you'll have to wait and see.
Voldemort: (mutters) Bloody woman, bloody light side
Hikari: Ah, don't be that way. :(
A/N: I am reposting this chapter because of the language I had to fix, because it might've insulted a few people, so I'm fixing that problem right now.
----Chapter 4----
-----A New Teacher and a Ministry Official-----
"We will be arriving at Hogwarts shortly, please change into your Hogwarts robes, and leave your luggage on board as it will be taken up separately." The voice of the conductor said over the speaker.
"Better wake your friend up Harry," Hermione said. Harry nodded and shook Adrien's shoulder but he simply muttered in his sleep and continued to sleep.
"Man, he sleeps like the dead," Harry said and Kuro growled in agreement before sliding down Harry's arm to Adrien's shoulder and roaring loudly in Adrien's ear causing Adrien to jolt awake and toss Kuro off. Luckily before Kuro hit the compartment's door it opened and a certain blond Slytherin caught him.
"Malfoy!" exclaimed and Harry stepped forward to take Kuro back.Draco looked at Kuro and Kuro stared straight back at him before growling in a type of purr causing Harry and Draco to raise an eyebrow at the small snake like dragon. (Voldemort- What's with the eyebrow raising? Hikari- Be quiet!)
"Is he yours Potter?"Draco asked.
"Yes, can I have him back?" Harry asked confused as to why Draco was not insulting him. Draco petted Kuro's head before holding him out for Harry to take. Harry let Kuro slide into his hands and he looked at Draco confused.
"What's his name?"
"Kurohiryuu, why do you want to know?"
"He's very rare, just so you know, take good care of him, his species is very hard to raise at times hence why they're so rare."
Draco left the three students, dragon, and Adrien staring after him as he left. Harry looked down at Kuro who slithered back up to his favorite spot around Harry's neck.
"He seems like a decent fellow, what's his name?" Adrien asked.
"Decent, that's Draco Malfoy, ice cold Slytherin Prince and Harry's rival!" Ron exclaimed. "He's an enemy to every Gryffindor, especially us!"
"Uh huh, if he is your enemy then why did he act like a decent fellow just now and give Kuro back to Harry, I've met many enemies in my lifetime and I know that they do not act like how young Malfoy acted just now and shouldn't all of you be getting ready as the conductor said we will be arriving soon."
Ron glared at Adrien who ignored him and took Kuro from Harry so he could change. The train arrived 15 minutes later and Adrien followed Harry off the train with Ron and Hermione and the group headed for the carriages. Harry looked to the front and shook his head to make sure he wasn't seeing things, for there were strange creatures pulling the carriages.
"What's wrong Harry?" Adrien asked and looked to where Harry was looking at smiled. "Ah, so you see the thestrals too huh, don't worry they won't hurt you, in fact I think your relative raises a few, but come now we must hurry and get to the school."
Harry followed Adrien into the carriage with Kuro wrapped loosely around his neck. When they arrived at the castle they headed in and Adrien seemed to not stop looking around and Harry was wondering if he could break his neck if he kept looking around the way he did. Once inside the Great Hall, the group looked up at the staff table and saw a young woman standing up who looked like she was barely even 19 or like she had just graduated from Hogwarts. She had orangish colored hair with blue eyes that were outlined by black eyeliner and eyeshadow, she wore black lipstick, a black t-shirt with the words "Normal is vastly overrated" on it in blood red, black baggy pants with chains hanging down from them, black boot, black fingerless gloves, and a black robe with dragons sewn into it. She was standing next to Snape when she looked at Harry's group and a smile crossed her face and she quickly ran over to the group.
"Oh my gosh Adrien, I can't believe you're here!" She exclaimed and embraced Adrien who embraced her back.
"Of course I'm here, you got the letter didn't you," Adrien said.
"Yes, but I couldn't believe it at first, oh who are your friends?"
The young woman turned to look at the group and Hermione seemed to glare at her because Ron was drooling all over himself.
"Need a bucket dude?" The young woman said.
"Dude?" The three Gryffindors said.
"Yea, oh right I'm in England, totally forgot, I'm the new DADA teacher, I'm from the United States, not here, hence why it may sound like a talk with a different accent than you guys and why I continually use the slang from the States. So aren't you gonna introduce me Adrien?"
"Oh right, guys this is my closest and best friend, besides Harry of course. This is Rosalind Jamillian, everyone calls her Rose for short though." Adrien said.
"Got that right, but I'm guessing from your robes that you're going to be my new students, so I guess you'll be calling me Professor Jamillian or Professor J."Jamillian said with a smile. "You guys can call me Rose in private though if you want."
"Aren't you a little uh..." Hermione began.
"Young, gothic punk looking, and too Americanish(not a word Iknow)to be a teacher, maybe but I like it that way, makes teaching a lot more fun and learning a lot more fun if you have someone who is pretty close to knowing how younger teens act."
"Anyway, these young people are Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and Harry Potter." Adrien said.
"Really, I think Bumblebee mentioned something about you three, can't remember what though, oh well, it'll come to me, right Hessian,"Jamillian said and a large python head emerged from the inside of her robes and set it's head on top of Jamillian's and hissed at her.
"You have a snake!" exclaimed Ron.
"Yea, they're pretty popular in the states, along with tarantulas, I think... I'm not sure"
"You're very strange..." Hermione said.
"Why thank you, I love being strange, keeps people on their toes."
"Um Professor J?" Harry said. Rose turned to him and smiled at him.
"Yes, Harry is something wrong?" Rose asked.
"Well, I was just wondering why you haven't treated me differently, I mean every time a new teacher comes they seem to single me out and treat me differently."
"Well, it's because I'd imagine that a young man who has faced Voldemort would be relieved to not have someone treat him differently, maybe I was wrong, although I rarely am."
"No, I like it, I just never expected it thank you very much, I like being treated like a normal wizard."
"Normal is vastly overrated Harry, hence the reason I'm so strange, there's no problem in the world with being different, it's how we are, I mean if we were all the same, we'd all look like grey blobs, which reminds me of a show in America, it was very interesting, I liked it when the fairies blew up into confetti.."
"Rose you're rambling," Adrien said.
"Am I, oh terribly sorry, I tend to do that at times."
"At times?" Hermione questioned. Rose nodded and looked at Kuro around Harry's neck.
"Oh my gosh what a beautiful serpagon or dragant! What's his name?" Rose asked and petted Kuro's head.
"Kurohiryuu, he was a gift," Harry said. "If you don't mind me asking what's a serpagon?"
"It's what species Kuro is, serpagons are dragons that have the appearance of serpents except their wings.Well, it was nice meeting you three, especially you Harry, you've grown up a lot, but Adrien and I must head to the staff table and get our seats before they're stolen, I'll see you guys in class."
Rose and Adrien headed up to the staff table leaving the three Gryffindors, and dragon, to take their seats. Harry watched as Rose and Adrien sat down besides Snape and began talking with him. Harry looked closer at Snape and saw that he seemed to have changed a little bit over the summer.
"Hey Ron, Hermione, does Snape seem different to you?" Harry asked turning to his friends. The two looked up at the staff table before looking at Harry with questioning looks.
"No, why, he looks like the same greasy git from last year." Ron said.
"No, he looks different, there is something different about him and don't call him that."
"I think you're losing it Harry, maybe you should go see Madame Pomfrey." Hermione said.
"No, I'm fine, I don't need to see Madame Pomfrey, looks here comes Dumbledore."
Harry shook his head in frustration as Dumbledore walked in and took his usual seat at the staff table looking down at Rose and Adrien and Harry thought he could see hate from Dumbledore's eyes directed at the two. Harry looked back over at Snape and their eyes connected before Snape looked away as McGonagall walked in with the first years. After the sorting Dumbledore stood up to make his usual announcements.
"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts, we have found a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, everyone please welcome Professor Rosalind Jamillian and her assistant Adrien Dragulia of the Tempish Clan." Dumbledore said and Rose and Adrien stood up and bowed to everyone.
"Nice to meet you all, I look forward to torturing... I mean teaching you all," Rose said with a smirk before sitting back down and a few students had worried looks cross their faces.
"Uh anyway, because the Ministry was the one who chose Professor Jamillian and they along with myself have doubts on whether or not she will be a good teacher because of her age..."
"Hey! I resent that Bumblebee! So what if I'm only 19, I know exactly how these students will act, although they may be a little more behaved than some Americans I know." Rose said from her seat.
"Anyway, because of her age and our doubts the ministry has asked someone to come and keep an eye on her classes, meet Dolores Umbridge, she will sit in on Professor Jamillian's classes to see how well she can handle all of you."
Dumbledore gestured to a toad looking woman sitting next to him who was looking out at the students. Some people whose parents worked in the ministry whispered amongst themselves when they saw her.
"You invited toad woman!" Rose exclaimed and the whole hall broke out in laughter including the Slytherins and most of the teachers. Harry heard Kuro let out a few growls that sounded like he was chuckling and Harry looked up at the staff table to see who was laughing and saw Snape trying to hide a small smile.
'He looks really good when he smiles, he should smile more often, wait! What the heck, am I thinking, why am I even thinking about Snape in the first place?' Harry thought before mentally shaking his head and looking back up at Dumbledore as the laughter silenced. Dumbledore and Umbridge looked angrily at Rose who simply smiled back at them innocently, but the innocence was slightly put off due to the fact that her snake Hessian was still resting his head on top of hers. Dumbledore finished the announcements without so much as a peep from Rose and the feast began.
After the feast Harry, Ron, Hermione and the others made their way to the Gryffindor Tower, all the while Harry's mind was in a frenzy trying to figure out why he had begun to notice strange things about Snape. As his mind was trying to figure out why, some little voice in his head was making side comments about Snape like how good he looked in a certain light. He shook his head mentally before heading up to the room he shared with Ron, Dean, Neville, and Seamus.
"Hey Harry, how was your summer, who was the guy you were with?" Dean asked.
"Huh, oh that was Adrien, um Professor Jamillian assistant, he was my temporary guardian over the summer," Harry said as he was jolted from his thoughts.
"Really, what's he like?" Seamus asked as the boys got ready for bed.
"Interesting, but I do think he is hiding something and I have my suspicions but after yesterday I'm not sure."
"I keep telling you don't trust him Harry." Ron said then his thoughts seemed to be directed to someone else. "Did you guys see Professor Jamillian, dang she is hot!"
"Heck yes, and she isn't that much older than us." Seamus said. Harry barely paid any attention as the others minus Neville discussed their new professor. The five gryffindors soon went to bed though, but Harry couldn't sleep he kept thinking about everything that had happened so far, he had three new guardians, learned advanced magic from a demon and priestess along with being trained to use weapons and his senses were heightened, he found out he had another relative, and he had a pet dragon or serpagon as Rose had called it. Harry sat up in his bed and looked at the others and was relieved when he saw they were all asleep, Ron was muttering something about cakes other desserts. Harry shook his head in amusement before reaching in his trunk and pulling out his invisibility cloak.
/Where are you going Harry/ A male voice hissed in parseltongue. Harry's eyes widened and he quickly looked around the room.
/Who's there/ Harry asked back in parseltongue.
/Oh come now Harry, surely you aren't that dense./
Harry looked and saw Kuro staring at him from his bedside table.
/Kurohiryuu/ Harry asked questionably.
/The only, I knew you were smart./ Kuro responded his dragon face looking like it was smiling.
/How, you're a dragon./
/Serpagon, Harry, a serpant and a dragon enabling anyone that is a Parselmouth to talk to me, I may only be a few days old but I'm not stupid it's common knowledge for every serpagon when they're born./
/Ok...well, I'm headed out for a little bit, I can't sleep, do you want to come with me/
/Well of course, I have really got to find you a book on serpagons./
/How you're a serpagon not a person, I don't think Madame Pince will be very happy with a serpagon looking through the books and trying to check one out./
/Good point, well you'll have to come with me then, oh and for the record I know all of these things because it is what Adrien did during the night while you slept last night, man, can that guy talk./
Harry smiled and placed his hand on the nightstand so Kuro could slither up his arm, he made a mental note though that he would have to teach Kuro how to fly. After Kuro took his usual spot around Harry's neck, Harry quickly closed his bed curtains and threw on his invisibility cloak and made his way out of the tower. As he walked through the halls to try and put himself to sleep he found himself at the door that led to the Defense Against the Dark Arts room. He saw that there was a light shining from inside it so he quietly opened the door and snuck in unnoticed because it the light came not only from the room but from the office in the back. The office door burst open and out walkedJamillian and Adrien both of them were laughing about something.
"I can't believe how rude you were at the feast, I've never seen you be that rude before," Adrien said as he stood near a window.
"I like to be rude, it's my American thing,"Jamillian said with a shrug and took the necklace Adrien was wearing and placed it near the windows and said a spell.
"It was funny when you called Umbridge a toad."
"She is Adrien, I don't see how anyone can think otherwise, what am I gonna do about her being in my classes though, how am I supposed to do what the plan requires with a ministry official watching me like a hawk."
"You'll figure something out, you always do, all you pretty much have to do is put your three heads together and think."
"Thanks a lot, anyway, I can't wait till tomorrow, I get the fifth year Gryffindors and Slytherins first period, that should be fun."
"I think you worried a few students when you said torture and then said teach right after."
"Oh I hope so, 'cause I can be justlike a torturer, it's so much fun, Erica really loves it, Lil is against it though, something about being good and light or something like that."
"What about your stepfather, was he happy to see you?"
"He didn't even know it was me, poor guy, he probably thinks I'm dead, I'd probably give him a heart attack if I told him who I was. God, I missed being here, I loved getting into trouble here, oh just think of the possibilities of causing trouble especially with all the tricks I've learned, it's going to be so much fun, I can't wait till tomorrow!"
"Well calm down you crazy witch, take things one step at a time and don't lose your focus, got it?"
"Yes sir, my commanding vampire, no worries, everything will be fine, as long as nothing goes wrong during my first day."
"I don't think anything will go wrong, just calm down before tomorrow now come on you need to get some rest before tomorrow, besides knowing you as I do, you're going to cause some type of trouble tomorrow at breakfast."
Rose looked at Adrien with a face that said "Moi?" in a innocent way before the two laughed and walked out of the classroom, but not before Harry left and headed back up to the tower. Luckily the Fat Lady was asleep and didn't notice when she opened for no one but one invisible student. Harry took off the invisibility cloak and sat in one of the arm chairs by the fire going over everything he had heard in his head.
/Harry?./ Kuro questioned from around Harry's neck.
/Kuro, it can't be, I trust him.../ Harry said.
/It can't be what?./
/Adrien, could he be working for Voldemort?./
/Heck no, Harry think about it, if Adrien was working for Voldemort he would've already turned you over./
/But what about Rose, could it be possible for her to be working for Voldemort?./
/I'm not sure, but I know Adrien isn't, he's too ridiculous./
/Very funny and it seems thatI was right, Adrien is a vampire, although he seems like a weird one,well, I'll just keep an eye on Rose then, but she seems to weird to even be in league with Voldemort./
/And if you remember she did say his name./
/True, but what plan is she talking about?./
/I don't know, we'll just have to keep an eye on her won't we./
/Yeah, for now, let's get to bed and see what Rose or professor Jamillian has in store for us in the morning./
/I agree with that wholeheartedly (spelling?)./
Harry laughed at Kuro as he headed up the boy dormitories. He quickly checked that the others were asleep, changed into his pajamas, climbed into bed, and smiled at Kuro who had wrapped his small body around one of the posts and let out a wide mouth dragon yawn before falling asleep around the post and Harry soon slipped into dream filled sleep right after, his dreams focusing around Snape with that annoying little voice in Harry's head making side comments once more.
