It was like what? 1:00 am or something when Hedwig flew into the room, holding a letter. "Thanks girl." Harry lightly took it from Hedwig's beak. "Ron." He whispered. There was no response from the red-head who was sound asleep "Ron. Wake up. Ron!" He then proceeded to through a pillow at him.

Ron, who was quite annoyed, sat up. "What the bloody hell was that for?"

"I got a letter."

"Yeah so?"

Harry motioned for him to come over. "Just get over here."

"Oh..." Ron lowered his voice. "It's from Sirius, right? What does it say?"

They opened the letter.

Dear Harry,

Sorry for the late reply. I did some research on Professor Walker, oddly, I couldn't find anything. It's like he doesn't exist. Then I realized he could be using a fake name but I looked into that too and still nothing came up. I would be careful though, I wouldn't say it's rare to be able to do magic without a wand but I would still watch out for anything.

I would also be careful around the ministry's little spy. You don't need the ministry to give you any more trouble.

I'm worried about you. Overall, I am fine. I suggest we don't send each other letters by Hedwig anymore, too noticeable. I wish you good luck, I might be able to meet you soon, don't worry, I'll figure something out.

Sirius

"Well, that just makes everything even more suspicious about that guy." Ron said. "I mean, I guess he was cool... but now, I can barely stand that class."

Harry rolled his eyes. "Yeah well, Umbridge has the authority to take away a teacher's job so I can't blame him for teaching what the ministry 'approves'."

"Yeah, well. I hope she leaves soon. I can't stand that lady! She's in like almost all our classes and she ruins all of them! I didn't think Potions could get any worse but seriously?" Ron continued his rant "Somethings got to be done."

"Allow me Madame." Allen pulled out Umbridge's chair for her. "Thank Professor walker. You know, I had my doubts about you at first."

Allen took his seat right next to her's. The was breakfast, one of Allen's three favorite meals a day. "Oh really?"

"Yes, I couldn't believe some one at your age could teach but you have proved me wrong." Had she just complimented him? "Tell me, what school did you attend?"

Allen smiled. "I attended Rosa Crux Academy for the Magically Gifted(I don't own the name, but I've seen it around Fan-fiction so I thought I should use it. I like the sound of it.) but after a year or so, I was taught by my master."

"Oh, well that must have been an interesting life."

"You have no idea..." Allen turned a little pale. He tried to change the subject, "What shade of pink is that dress? It really suites you."

"Look at him, kissing up to Umbridge like that... disgusting." Malfoy sneered. "I swear there's something about him that I just hate so much. He's probably here for something more then just teaching."

Pansy was tired of the subject, she didn't understand Malfoy's issue with Walker, she kinda liked him, but instead of commenting she tried to move the conversation along. "Hey, look at that. It seems there is a new student at the Hufflepuff table. Is that blue hair? The way she's dressed is that of a little kid." Pansy pointed over to Road who had on her usual outfit. But, her robes were cut so they were the length or her skirt and the sleeves were shorter as well.

"I wonder if she's a pure blood?"

"Well, I heard some of the other kid's talking that her name was Road! I mean what kind of a name is that?"

Malfoy wasn't really interested in what Pansy was saying but there was something off about that new girl that also annoyed him.

The Gryffindors had DADA with Slytherin this period. "Alright class, seeing how well you all have been doing so well, we are going to learn a few defense charms. And yes, you will need your wands." Walker smiled "They are pretty basic stuff so I'm guessing you all will have no problem with them." The brought delight to many of the students faces.

Hermione raised her hand, "Yes, Miss Granger?"

"I thought we had to do everything by the book?"

Allen got out his wand. "Yes, it's easier that way but people learn differently so it's always fun to try new things."

Allen stood in the center of the room, he demonstrated a few spells. Overall, the class went pretty well. No one was bored and at least they had something to do aside from rereading the same textbook. They knew though that a class like this wont happen often, as they remembered that Umbridge was still present at the school. But, no one noticed the smirk on Malfoy's face as he left the classroom when the period ended.

"Harry, I need to see you for a sec." Allen stopped Harry(and friends) from leaving. "Actually, your friends could come too. I have some things I would like to discuss. Can you meet me back here after the next class?" The trio nodded. "Great! See you then."

"I wonder what he wants to talk to us about?" Hermione asked, they all had a free study period so they headed down to the DADA room.

"I don't get him at all, first he's cool, then he's a suck up, now he's cool again. I don't get it? Does he like messing with us?"

"Who knows?" Harry was about to open the door when he heard... arguing? They all leaned closer to hear it better.

"ALLEN!" Road yelled, she was annoyed, "I told you I don't do homework! But then, a day later you just had to assign an ESSAY for homework!?"

"I already told you, everyone has to do the homework, your no excuse. Plus, I gave your three days to write it!" Allen argued back.

"Yeah but it's so boring." Road handed him a piece of paper. "You write it for me."

'No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Come on! Please!"

"No Road, I will not write it for you. You either do the work yourself or fail the class." Allen was getting even more frustrated. 'How the hell did the other Noah put up with her? Wait, is am I now sympathizing the Noah?' He shook his head. "Do you want me to call Sheril about this and ask him is he could help you with your homework?"

"You wouldn't dare."

Allen reached for the phone and dialed Sheril's number. "Hello, Sheril. This is Allen Walker, your enemy and your daughter's Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher." Road couldn't believe what Allen was doing, wait, since when did Allen get Sheril's number?

"Allen? Your a teacher now? You kids grow up so fast! What do you need?" He sounded surprised but then just went with it. He knew Road enrolled in the same school Allen was apparently at but he didn't expect him to be a teacher. If he was a teacher, it made it harder for him to get close to his precious Road.

"Well, you see Road says she has been having trouble with-" Road grabbed the phone from Allen.

"Nope! Everything is fine daddy! I miss you so much, I love you!" Road said cheerfully. Before She hung up, you could here Sheril's comments about how cute his little girl is and he she said she loved him and all that.

"Seriously? What were you thinking?" Road asked, still in disbelief.

"What? I summed up the situation, you don't do homework because you need help, I was providing a way for you to get help." Allen said casually.

"I hate you." Road turned her back on him and pouted.

"I'm sorry, is this a bad time?" Allen saw Harry peeking into the room.

"Oh, no it's fine. Road was just about to leave and get her essay done along with the second essay I'm giving her to help her learning." Allen said and he handed her another assignment.

"Why I outta..." Road mumbled. "I'll get you for this." And with that she trudged out of the room.

"Sorry about that." Allen apologized. "Please, take a seat."

"So, what did you want to talk to us about?" Hermione was the first to break the silence.

"Well, you already know that classes like today are probably never going to happen again. I understand your reasoning for wanting to do more than just sit around reading a textbook. So, I want to help." Allen stated. He truly did want to, he spent some time researching he-who-must-not-be-named with Lavi, if this guy really is coming back, his destruction will only result in more akuma. Plus, he felt that, as a teacher, it was his job to help his students!

"Wait. You want to help?" Ron asked skeptically. "I mean, it's great and all but why are you doing this?"

"Because I feel like I should do something and you all seem to know what your doing. Plus, your guys are right, there is more out there and you all need to be prepared for whatever happens."

Harry was kind of surprised by this, but... "Was this Dumbledore's idea?"

"Well, we were talking about it once so I guess it was something we both thought of. I was thinking once week, we could gather a small group to 'study'." Allen suggested.

"That could work..." Hermione said. They soon decided that the first few lessons will be small group ones, and of course only people that could be trusted could join, they were going to hod a secret meeting at the Hog's Head Pub to finally put this into action. They all agreed on this but the trio still had their doubts about him, but maybe by doing this they'll learn something more about Professor Walker. Hermione remembered hearing him talk to Umbridge about the school he went to. Rosa Crux... she'll look into that later.

"Ron, Harry, come over here." After the meeting with Walker, they decided to spend the rest of the period in the library doing research.

"Did you find something?" Ron sat in the seat at the table while Harry looked over their shoulders.

"Yes, I heard Professor Walker talking with Umbridge this morning. Turns out, Professor Walker went to Rosa Crux Academy for the Magically Gifted." Hermione said.

"Never heard of it." Harry said, then again, there is so much about the magical community he still doesn't know.

"Yeah well, I've heard the name once or twice but you can't find anything about the school. No location, type of school, when or how it was founded... The situation just keeps getting stranger, and we've said that a lot."

Ron turned to them. "Should we still trust him?"

There a was a long pause. Harry broke the silence, "Well, for now. We know he's a friend of Dumbledore so he can't be that bad. Benefit of the doubt as they say." He couldn't figure Walker out, which bothered him a lot.
