AN: I'm back. I m sorry it took so long. Anyway you know the drill... I do not own Harry Potter even though I wish I did. Without further ado...
May 4th -109 days
Harry hadn't really appreciated the Hogwarts rumour mill until today. Harry hadn't even taught his first lesson at Hogwarts and the Daily Prophet had already informed the magical community that he was teaching for a week.
"Daddy look my picture is in the news Prophet." Teddy said pointing to a picture of him talking to his Grandma Minnie.
"You look very handsome teddy bear. You have to eat all your eggs. If you want to spend the day with Grandma Minnie you have to have enough energy." Ginny said looking disapprovingly at the eggs still left on Teddy's plate.
"Aww do I have to?" Teddy whined. Ginny just gave Teddy one of her looks and Teddy was soon eating all of his eggs without complaint.
"Listen to this Gin. Hum, it seems that the ever strict Professor McGonagall has a soft spot for one Teddy Remus Lupin, Harry Potter's godson. Everyone in the last half a century can remember the no nonsense rule that Professor McGonagall taught with. It seems that Teddy Remus Lupin is able to do the impossible and made the strict Professor McGonagall a softy. "This little boy runs into the Great Hall yelling Grandma Minnie and instead of yelling at the boy like most people thought would happen she opens her arms so he can jump into them. She also called him her Teddy Bear. That boy is going to be so lucky once he gets to Hogwarts: he'll get away with everything." Said an inside source." Harry finished reading the interesting part of the story to Teddy and Ginny.
"Well at least it wasn't all about you." Ginny said with a smirk.
"Ha ha very funny Gin. Besides that was only a little part; there are another 4 whole pages on just me and if I am a good teacher. Apparently a quidditch player is not a suitable teacher for the kids of today or at least that is what Rita is saying." Harry said getting side tracked.
"Anyway do you think that Teddy will be able to get away with anything? Minnie is pretty lenient when it comes to Teddy." Harry said.
"Every Head has their favourite student." Ginny said with a shrug. "People are just going to have to accept it."
"Professor Dumbledore didn't have any favourites." Harry said trying to make a point. Ginny just looked at him like he had two heads.
"You are joking right? Dumbledore not having a favourite...haha... ya right." Ginny said surprised that they were even having this conversation.
"Really I didn't notice any favouritism." Harry said shocked that he didn't see it.
"Really you didn't?" Ginny asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Nope and I had tea with him at least once a week." Harry informed Ginny with a nod. Ginny couldn't help it: she burst out laughing.
"Harry you were Professor Dumbledore's favourite." Ginny choked out once she was almost done laughing.
"What? Really?" Harry asked shocked.
"Mommy I'm done can I go wif Grandma Minnie now?" Teddy asked interrupting Ginny's reply.
"Yes you may but I want you to behave ok." Ginny said sternly.
"Grandma Minnie can we go play now?" Teddy asked as he pulled on the Professor's robe.
"Yes we may, come on I have a great day planed for us." Professor McGonagall said excitedly as she picked him up.
"Now Minnie don't let him have too much sugar and make sure he has a nap just before lunch or else he will be cranky all day. And behave yourself," Harry said sternly to Professor McGonagall.
"I am not a child Harry," at Harry's raised eyebrow she nodded.
"I will behave." She said and without another word both she and Teddy left the Great Hall.
"What was that about?" Ginny whispered as if Professor McGonagall could still hear her being talked about.
"Well the whole strict Professor thing is a lie." Ginny did not looked convinced.
"No I swear. During the summer holidays when Teddy was 2, I had a game oversees and I wasn't able to bring Teddy with me and Hermione was away on business already. Anyway Minnie offered and I thought why not. I mean I was under the impression that she would be able to handle Teddy and not let him get into too much trouble. Anyway I came back two days later and what do I find? I find Teddy and Minnie sound asleep on the ground with a bunch of candy wrappers all around them." Harry said exasperated.
"What wrong with that I think it is cute." Ginny said thinking Harry had lost it.
"Oh it would have been cute if it weren't for the fact that they were sleeping in the middle of a rainbow coloured Great Hall with about fifty random animals all over the Great Hall. He could have gotten trampled. It looked like the two of them just passed out on the floor." Harry vented to Ginny still not completely over the incident.
"Harry I think you are overreacting here. I mean Professor McGonagall would never let Teddy get hurt. I am sure she had everything under control." Ginny said trying not to laugh at the image of Professor McGonagall sleeping in the middle of a Great Hall with her lions running all around.
"I am not overreacting. Just you wait. I am going to have to leave my class so I can get the both of them off the roof." Harry said getting himself worked up.
"Whatever you say love; now you better hurry up if you don't want to be late for your first class." Ginny said.
"Are you coming?" Harry asked Ginny as he was getting up.
"No I said you have a class to teach I can take my time." Ginny said with a playfully.
"Not fair. I will see you soon, okay?" Harry asked giving her a quick peck.
"Yeah yeah yeah see you later Professor." Ginny said stressing the Professor. Harry just gave her a mock glare before he left the Great Hall. As soon as Harry had left the Great Hall Ginny turned to her favourite Professor the one and only Professor Flitwick.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Can you believe it THE Harry Potter is going to be our teacher."
"EHHHHH" Squealed a group of girls from all different houses and years.
"Order Order!" yelled the leader of the group. She was a 6th year with had blue eyes and brown hair the fell into loose bouncy curls. It took a moment for the group to regain order.
"Thank you now the emergency session of the Harry Potter Fan Club has started. The first order of business is the fact that THE Harry Potter is going staying in the castle for the next week." Exclaimed Blair; causing the members of the fan club to quiet down in order to hear her plan.
"Instead of only having Harry Potter for a day we get him for a week. In other words we are not going to waste this opportunity." Blair said and then waited for everyone to prise her for her amazing idea.
A timid first year boy asked the one question that everyone other than Blair was wondering. "Um... well you see... um... what are we going to do?"
Blair was so excited that she seemed to have forgotten to tell everyone else the plan. The only sign of embarrassment was the light blush that covered her cheeks. "Right well you see we are going to break up one Harry Potter's engagement."
And then I marry him but they don't need to know that Blair thought to herself.
"Here is what we are going to do..." Before Blair could explain her plan the door opened and in rushed a 6th year Gryffindor. It took her a moment to realize that the washroom already filled to capacity.
"Oh... so I'll just be going." The girl said as she back tracked as quickly as she could out the washroom.
"Whose job was it to lock and silence the door?" Blair hissed.
"What if that was Ginny Weasley? Or McGonagall?" Blair said upset.
Blair's best friend Amy just rolled her eyes. "Blair, Susan is in the hospital wing for the next two weeks after a potions accident." Amy had to put up with Blair obsession with Harry Potter for the last 6 years.
"Oh right." Blair said embarrassed.
"Yes well I think we need a new person to do that. So who is good at silencing and locking spells?" She asked quickly.
It was finally decided that a 5th year Slytherin named Rich was going to be in charge of the spells.
"Ok so the plan is-" Before Blair could continue the bell rang meaning everyone in the washroom was late.
"Meeting adjourned." Blair yelled then there was a mad rush to the doors.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Once the bell rang Harry Potter looked at his class.
"Is this everyone Donald?" Harry questioned a Hufflepuff in the back of the classroom.
"No this is just half the class sir." The boy with black hair and brown eyes replied.
"Well I don't want to start the lesson without them so... hmm. Well I wasn't going to do this but do any of you have any questions that don't involve DADA?" Harry asked the small class.
It seemed everyone had a question and all of them shouted them out at the same time. "Raise your hands please." Harry yelled over the chaos.
"Yes you," Harry said pointing to a girl sitting in the front. "Was that your son?"
"Yes his name is Teddy." Harry answered but instead of hands going down it seemed that more people raised their hands.
"Is he your real son?" Someone in the back yelled.
"Well his real parents died in the Final Battle but he now lives with me and I see him as my son." Harry answered.
It was quiet for a moment before the first girl who asked a question spoke up. "Can I babysit him?" Soon the whole class was laughing and once Harry said she could if Ginny agreed they question and answer part of the class continued.
15 minutes into the class the rest of the class made their way into the room. "Ah it seems you have finally graced us with your presents." Harry said to the group of kids slowly walking into the class.
When about 10 different people tried to explain Harry just held his hand up and they instantly fell silent.
"Instead of listening to what I am sure would have been a well thought out excuse I am just going to take away one point for everyone who just came in." Harry said to the surprise of the class. Normally if you were late it was a minimum of five points each.
"So Michelle would you like to tell them what they missed." Harry said with a smirk.
"Sure. Professor Potter, who prefers being called Harry," She said quickly when it looked like Harry was about to interrupt.
"He is 21 and only plays quidditch because otherwise he wouldn't have anything to do all day. He has a godson, Teddy, whom he thinks of as his son and he lives with him because his parents died in the Final Battle." She stopped for a moment trying to think if she forgot anything.
"Oh… and the next time they need a babysitter I'm allowed to babysit."
"Only if Gin says it is okay." Harry said with a smile.
"Now since you have decided to join us we can start the lesson. First off I am not your Professor so just call me Harry. Unless Minnie is around then I'm Professor Potter." Harry added as an afterthought.
"So for the lesson I need to know what the last thing Professor Read taught you was."
One of the girls who came in late raised her hand. "Yes Miss…"
"O'Connor. Professor Read had us finish everything for the year so we can spend the rest of the month preparing for our OWLS." Miss O'Connor informed Harry.
"Hum... how about we do review then. I want everyone to write what they want to review on a small bit of parchment and put it in this bowl." Harry said as he conjured a glass bowl on the front desk.
"Remember there are no limits and no stupid questions. I will give you all 10 minutes." Harry said as he sat down at his desk.
"Is everyone done?" Harry asked the class 10 minutes later. When everyone nodded Harry continued.
"Perfect. So what I plan on doing is I will pick a question out of the bowl and we will work on that question. If a question is repeated we will only go over it again only if more than 4 people need more help with that concept." Harry said as he picked a question from the glass jar.
"The first question is... drum roll please." Harry said to the amusement of the muggle borns where as all the pure bloods thought he was weird.
Harry waited a minute before the muggle borns in the class started the drum roll. "Thank you. Can we practise stunning?" Harry read from the paper.
Harry quickly looked around the class before he nodded to himself. "Ok this can work," Harry mumbled to himself.
"First I want the class to split into pairs. What we are going to do is kill two birds with one stone. We can practise both stunners and shields. One person stuns the other tries to block it. I want everyone up and behind me so I can make the classroom more fitting to our needs." Harry waited a moment before everyone picked their stuff up and went to stand behind him.
"Perfect." And with a wave of his hand all the desks moved to one side of the classroom and a bunch of beanbags appeared.
"I only want 10 pairs at a time that way we do not have any stray curses hitting everyone. Oh and before I forget the beanbags are for the people getting stunned not the people stunning." Harry said amused.
Before Harry could elaborate the class started running to the beanbags so they could practise first.
"No fighting one of you will have to wait. Don't worry we will change every half hour." Harry called out.
This is going to be a long day Harry thought with a shake of his head.
