"Come on Tim, we have to hurry. I need to get the classroom set up before the students arrive." The golem made his way across the room and followed Allen out the door. They had left about four hours before classes would start so this gave him enough time to eat, get lost, and make it there just before the students.

"I wonder where the Professor is?" Harry didn't see him with any of the teachers or at the dinning hall.

"He's most likely in the classroom getting ready. It seems you guys like making him seem like a shady character." Hermione didn't look up from her book but he could hear a defensive tone in her voice.

"Your being some defensive Hermione."

"I'm not being defensive Ronald. I'm just stating my opinion."

"Hate to break you to up but we have to get to class. We don't want to be late on the first day." He was glad to get them to hurry along. Harry was curious about what DADA was going to be like, reflecting back on all the other weird teachers they had.

The golden trio along made their way through the crowd to class. Turns out they had a combined class with Slytherin so... this was getting more interesting. When they walked in, Professor Walker was writing something on the board. "Oh, take your seats. Sit where ever you like." Unlike most of the teachers Harry had met, Walker had a bright smile on his face. He began his introduction when everyone had taken their seats.

"Good Morning and welcome to Defense Against the Dark Arts class. I will be your teacher, Allen Walker. My goal is to prepare you for you O.W.L. exams at the end of the year. Since it's the first day, I thought it would be better to start the year by talking and getting to know one ." He paused, "Do you have any questions for me?"

A good portion of the class raised their hands. "Alright, let's start with you."

"Why is your hair white?" Asked the curious Slytherin.

"Well, why is your hair brown?" She paused to think of and answer.

"I guess because it is."

"Then that is your answer."

Some Gryffindor boy went next. "What's with the weird scar on your face."

"Oh, just an old memory. Nothing important." No one questioned further about it.

"Hey, where did you run off to last night? And aren't you too young to be a teacher? My father never mentioned anything about a teacher who is the same age as the class." Malfoy asked, the class turned to Walker who just smiled.

There was a pause before he answered it. "Well, to answer the first question, I decided to leave early and get the classroom set up. I hate to admit it but I'm still getting lost in this place. As for the second question, I may be 15, about the same age as you all, but I'm just advanced in certain areas that allow me to teach." This seemed to shut Draco up.

"Why do you have an Overgrown snitch on your head?" Ron pointed above Allen's head.

"Oh, you mean Timcanpy? He's my golem. My master created him a long time ago and now he's mine." He gave Tim a short glare before returning his attention to the class. "Anything else?"

He pointed to another Slytherin girl. "Um, are you single?" The class fell silent, many of the girls were eagerly waiting for a response.

"Seems kind of personal, don't you think?" Walker looked at the clock, there was still a lot of time left. "I know you have more questions but we'll have another question and answer session another class." He turned around a began writing some page number on the chalkboard. "How about we open our books to chapter one and begin reading up on page-" The door to the classroom burst open and a strange red haired boy with an eye patch came running in.

"Hey Allen! Look I found you!" The boy lunged toward the teacher who spun around, one hand holding his book and his other hand was open handed facing the kid. Harry couldn't make out the words the Professor said but it sent the kid flying toward the wall above the door, stuck up there. The entire class was shocked. Professor Walker had some tricks up his sleeve. He could do magic without a wand! Powerful spells at that! This display even impressed Hermione.

The door opened again, only this time, it was Madame Umbridge. "Oh, Madame Umbridge, for what do I owe the pleasure?" The professor asked as if nothing was wrong.

"I hate to disturb your class a strange visitor has been looking for you."

"Don't worry, he's been taking care of." His eyes signaled her to turn around, she saw the poor kid stuck to the wall. She put her hands over he mouth. "Oh my goodness! What's going on here?"

"Well, he interrupted my class and I way only demonstrating a useful way to protect yourself." He stated, as if everything was completely normal.

"Hey uh, Allen, buddy. Can you let me down, please?"The boy pleaded.

"Sure thing Lavi." Walker snapped his fingers and the boy came crashing down. "Now, in the future, please don't interrupt my classes, ok? Please take your seat at one of the empty desks and I'll speak with you after class."

Lavi grumbled something and took his seat, ignoring the stares he got. 'Allen is acting... weird. And he's treating me like he's superior, I mean, I'm older them him. Wait, when did Allen learn magic anyway? Well, I'll get answers anyway.' Lavi was handed a text book, 'This is some strange school...'

After class ended, and everyone left, Lavi thought it would be safe to approach Allen.

"Oh, hey Lavi. I see your doing alright."

"Yeah, well being thrown into a wall doesn't help. So, this is your mission then, being a teacher to some school? LAME!"

He scanned the room and leaned in closer to Lavi. "There have been reports of akuma attacking the school and the surrounding area. I even ran intro some last night. One even destroyed themselves before giving me any information. So I'm here to investigate."

"I see... Do you think their after innocence or something?"

"I don't know, but if it were that simple, why don't they attack and leave?"

"You have a point."

At that moment, Allen's eye started acting up. "I feel the presence of another Akuma. Lavi, stay here and stall or do something, I have another class in a minute or so. I'll deal with the akuma." He activated Crown Clown and headed out through one of the windows. Lavi quickly shut the windows before the students came in.

They were all staring at him, waiting for a reason why the teacher wasn't there. "Hi, I'm Lavi, friend of Walker. He had to... uh... go out and get some things and he will be right back. So... uh, just talk or something until he gets back."

It was a level three akuma this time, surprisingly, it didn't seem to talkative. He finished the fight quickly and headed back toward the classroom.

What he didn't see was the two all too familiar Noahs hiding at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, watching his every move. One was in a nice suite and the other in a frilly dress with a lollipop in her hand.

"Hey Tyki, looks like this just just got interesting."

"I have to agree with you for once Road, very interesting."

Meanwhile, Harry and his friends were making their way to their third class when the noticed Professor Walker talking with Lavi in the courtyard. The strange visitor handed him some paper and left.

"What are they talking about?"

"I don't know Ron." Whoever this new teacher was, Harry thought he was quite interesting. 'I wonder if Sirius knows anything about him. I could try sending him a letter later...'

"Well I like him. He seems decent enough and I doubt he always goes by the rules." Hermione said. "I bet if he didn't accept the job, the Umbridge women would be teaching the class." And no one wanted that. They could hear the teachers trying to usher the students into the classrooms. "Come on then, let's not be late for... Potions."
