This chapter i am very fond of and i hope that you will be as well. Please dont hesitate to leave a review c: Enjoy.
The next morning was one that took Harry a while to comprehend. He had woken up to find his room empty. His father, godfather and somewhat uncle gone. Immediately he got up and ran from the room, but found them not even in their small home behind the portrait. Worry immediately took over; being Harry he forced himself to calm down, and took out his map.
Before he got the chance to even look at the map it was out of his hands, and out of sight. Harry was shocked then realized that the people he was looking for were still in the room just not visible. A smirk played at Harry's lips as he realized there was no danger. Harry didn't like to be messed with, nor pranked for that matter. Whatever his family was doing they were going to get it far worse.
Knowing that they were somewhere in the room, Harry took out his mirror and called for Severus. They had decided to make mirrors for Remus, Severus, Regulus and Lily because it was getting harder and harder to see each other.
"Harry? Are you okay?" Said the Severus in the mirror. Harry just grinned even more.
"Yes, I am, Severus have you seen my dear father, godfather, or uncle?" Harry asked in a mocking voice. He was sure they could hear him.
"No I haven't; why?" Severus asked cautiously.
"They seem to be missing, oh well I hope they aren't planning something, because I don't like surprises and I hope they didn't forget that I am from the future and that I know a lot more worse and advance spells then them." Harry finished with a sigh, trying his best not to laugh. From the mirror now Severus was smirking as well.
"My, my… we are in trouble." Severus whispered.
"What?" Harry asked now snapping his head to the mirror. Severus just smiled an evil smile that did not fit his teenage features then he began to fade out of the mirror as the call ended.
"Severus Snape!" Harry yelled. The mirror showed no one. He called more and more but the mirror stayed black. What was going on? He was now worried if Snape of all people was involved in one of his father's prank, that meant it was big.
"Okay guys come out, I know you're there." Harry said now backing up towards the wall. Back pressed up against the wall to avoid any surprise attacks, he scanned the room trying to find any sign of movement.
"Point me Remus Lupin." Harry said pointing his wand at the air. The wand spun and then it landed on the couch; a couch that apparently looked vacant. Harry smirked and then conjured up pink paint and threw it on the couch. The pink paint shaped into a pink Remus who was looking very angry.
"What was that for?" Remus yelled, standing up and shaking off the pink paint in a canine way. Harry could now hear snickering to his right but pretended not to as he moved closer to Remus.
"Why were you invisible?" Harry asked. Remus stopped his glaring and thought for a few seconds then said.
"Can't a werewolf be invisible without question?" Remus asked with a huff, sitting back down.
"Oh sure, said werewolf is now going to be sitting and very pink tomorrow on the full moon." Harry mocked then dodged a tickling hex thrown his way. The snickering from the right started again then Harry moved closer to it all the while still talking to Remus.
"Where is dad?" Harry asked.
"James? James who?" Remus said quickly. From underneath the invisibility cloak James Potter face palmed. Remus Lupin was not good under pressure.
"Moony I didn't say James, but alright where is Sirius?" Harry tried again. This time it was a few seconds before Remus answered.
"He went to go shag a girl." Remus said with a smirk, apparently pleased with his answer.
"Really? Who?" Harry challenged, raising an eyebrow in question.
"McGonagall," Remus blurted loudly, saying the first person's name that popped into his head. Harry could not stand it and fell on the floor laughing. Sirius, from under the invisibility cloak, slapped James to keep him quiet as his cheeks flushed. James was choking down his laughter, while Remus was looking anywhere but at the laughing boy on the floor.
"Padfoot likes Minnie?" Harry asked as soon as he could breathe again.
"Yes?" Remus said, however it sounded like a question.
"NO!" Sirius screamed, throwing off the invisibility cloak to reveal James and himself in the middle of the room. "I do not like McGonagall like that! I would not shag her!" Sirius said his face a shade of red that would put the Weasley hair to shame.
James and Harry seemed to not care what Sirius was saying and kept on laughing, making the dog animagus very angry.
"Stop laughing!" James and Harry finally stopped laughing giving Harry enough time to remember what was going on before the whole shagging incident.
"What are you guys up to?" Harry asked as he sat himself on the couch next to a now clean pink free Remus.
"Nothing." The Marauder's said as one.
Harry stared at them. "Are you sure about that?" He asked making them feel nervous at the look he was sending their way.
"Yes?" Sirius said in a tone that made Harry know he was lying.
"Fine don't tell me. But you have been warned; if I so much as get a surprise of anything or I get pranked not only will you have to hide from me but also from hundreds of pixies that I will hex to follow you everywhere." James, Sirius, and Remus gulped but nodded all the while. Harry nodded as well, there was nothing he could do the only thing he can do is wait and hope he could stop whatever his father, godfather, and pseudo-uncle threw at him.
"Should we head to class?" Remus asked, setting his fork down and watching it magically vanish from his spot on the table. Harry looked up from his own finished plate as Sirius and James subsided their conversation.
"Class?" Harry asked in a surprised tone.
"Yea, today we have our first Defense Against The Dark Arts class, ever since Flames ran off, Dumbledore has been working on finding a replacement and apparently he found one yesterday and informed the school that DADA will start today. We have it first period today, and then we have a free period." Remus finished, chancing a glance at James, the werewolf looked at his best friend and blinked three times, in return James blinked twice.
This action going noticed by Harry, he immediately was on alert. Apparently phase one of the unknown plan was done. Sirius, having finished his third plate got up in a swift and grace motion and made his way to the door. At the door he turned around to face his still seated friends.
"Well? Aren't you coming?" Sirius asked.
After having gone to pick up Lily, then a quick visit to the owlery, found the Marauder's, Harry, Lily and the other seventh year Gryffindor's, and Slytherin's in the DADA classroom. The new Professor was not there yet, so the seventh years sat whispering among themselves.
"Who do you reckon it is?" Sirius asked no one in particular. Lily was the first to answer from her seat next to James.
"I don't know, but I hope it's someone good, someone who knows what they are doing. What do you think Harry?" Lily added turning to face her son who was sitting in between Remus and Sirius.
"I don't know, and really don't care as long as they are not death eaters or crazy Professor's then I'm good." The others nodded in agreement, and then fell silent as they waited for their new teacher.
Their wait did not last long. Five minutes later the Professor strolled in with her wand out. She headed to the front of the room and began to write on the black board.
Harry did not get a chance to see the new Professor's face because she had walked in and passed his table so fast. If he would have blinked he would have missed her.
The room fell silent as the new Professor finished writing on the board and turned to face the class.
"My name is Ryan Hunter and I will be your teacher for the remainder of the year." Said the new professor. She was short, with long black and red hair. She had big beautiful hazel eyes and a smile fit for an angel. She looked young, yet at the same time she looked as if she had been through a lot. There was a scar right under her left eye, one that looked like a monster had scratched at her face.
"Before we begin does anybody have a question for me?" Professor Hunter asked with a warm and inviting smile still upon her. Several students raised their hands.
"You there in the back Mr.-"
"Malfoy. Lucius Malfoy, Professor. Please don't mind me asking but how old are you?" Several students put their hands done, having about to ask the same question.
"I just turned 18 last month. Any other questions?" At the new information even more curious students raised their hands.
"Yes Mr.-" Professor Hunter said point toward Sirius.
"Black." Sirius informed her.
"Yes Mr. Black?" The professor asked, nodding for him to continue.
"How are you teaching us if you are not even that much older than us."
"I may not be older but trust me when I say I am more advanced than all of you. I grew up in a place I was not wanted, went to a place where I was not accepted. I studied myself into exhaustion and practiced from dawn until dust. Why? Because I made it my personal mission to know everything I can to be able to protect myself and others. Voldemort is out there killing witches and wizards for being who they are! I for one will not just sit here and let that happen. Professor Dumbledore is an old friend of mine. I've known him since I was little; he helped me out when my mother and father were murdered, when my brother was slaughtered right before my eyes. I am teaching here as a favor to him and as a gain to myself. I will be able to teach each and every one of you how to defend yourself and how to stand tall at the end of a battle." Professor Hunter finished her speech, and smiled at the looks her class was giving her. No one had their hand up anymore; most of their questions had been answered in the speech. Professor Hunter was about to open her mouth to begin the lesson when Lily raised her hand.
"Evans." Lily said when she saw the Professor look at her.
"Yes Ms. Evans?"
"Why were you not wanted or accepted?" Lily asked. The warm smile Professor Hunter had had only seconds ago vanished. She looked deep in thought then slowly she answered.
"Professor Dumbledore told me it was my choice if I wanted to share that with my students, and I will. Now some might not like it, others might not care, but I want you to keep in mind I am still your Professor and you will respect me just as I respect you." Professor Hunter said sternly, and then continued.
"The reason Ms. Evans that I was not accepted nor wanted in my youth is because at the age of six I was bitten and scratched by a werewolf. As you can guess I myself am a werewolf." The class sucked in their breaths. Malfoy's lips curled into a snarl and looked away from the Professor thinking his eyes should not fall on such rubbish. Some of the students leaned back, trying to put as much distance from themselves and the new Werewolf Professor.
James, Sirius, Harry and Lily stared at the new Professor, neither with fear nor disgust, but just with surprise. Only one, Remus Lupin, was pale, shaken and rueful. Remus had heard the pretty Professor announce that she was a Werewolf with pride, something he did not understand why. Remus had never met another Werewolf, nor did he think they would ever be so nice like Professor Hunter was.
The silence dragged on and after a few more seconds Professor Hunter continued.
"Now, I will not have any of that." Professor Hunter said pointing her wand in Malfoy's direction making said person face the front and made the sneer look vanish from his face.
"I am harmless everyday but on the full moons. I have been given a place to be when I transform so no need to worry. I will not tolerate any rude comments because keep in mind Voldemort is a killer and an evil person because he discriminates. Do not be like Voldemort. Now on with our first lesson-"
For the rest of the lesson the seventh years found themselves practicing simple spell so that the new Professor knew were everyone stood on their magical capability. At the end of the lesson Professor Hunter dismissed them and told them she would see them on Thursday.
Harry and his 'family' made their way back to their common room for their free period. Once inside and seated did they begin to discuss their first DADA class as was many other seventh year students were around the castle.
"Well that was interesting." James said.
"Yea, she did know her stuff though. It's a shame she saw her brother's murder in front of her." Harry added with a shiver. He himself had seen gruesome things, but he would never wish that upon anyone.
"Yeah, she's young, but I can tell she will be a great Professor." Lily said from her seat on James lap.
"She is nice, did you guy notice she is nice, yet there seems to be a mean side to her as well." Sirius said joining into the conversation. Lily, James, and Harry nodded in agreement. They then turned to face Remus as it was his turn to say something.
"She is a werewolf." was all Remus was able to whisper. Not knowing what else to say James said "Yeah, she is." with concern in his voice.
"She is a pretty werewolf." Remus said more to himself then the others. At this statement Sirius and James smirked.
"Does Mooney have a crush on our Professor?" Sirius asked with a sly grin.
"Yeah, does Remus want to get a detention with her?" James teased. At what the conversation had turned to Remus snapped out of his own mind.
"Don't be ridiculous! She is our Professor!" Remus roared.
"Yes, our eighteen year old Professor." James said.
"Who is young," Lily added.
"And pretty." Harry said joining in with a smile
"And a werewolf." Sirius finished. Remus just rolled his eyes and said nothing.
"Well I got to go, I have homework to do, see you later everyone." Lily said getting up kissing her boyfriend goodbye and waving at the others she left. Harry stood now as well.
"I'm going to take a nap, I need to catch up on my sleep. Wake me up in a few?" Harry asked. When his father, godfather, and uncle nodded Harry made his way to his room and soon was asleep on his four poster bed.
As soon as they were sure Harry was asleep and a few privacy charms were placed, the Marauders began to discuss their plan.
"So how are things going" James said at once.
"Fine. It is almost ready. Are you sure this is going to make Harry feel better?" Sirius asked in a questioning tone.
James pulled a face of being offended. "Padfoot I am his father, I think I know what he likes" James said defending himself and his plan.
"Funny you used the word think," Remus said jokingly. James punched the werewolf in the arm, and then went back to work. After a long while Sirius sat up straighter.
"Uh Oh." he said in a whispered, one in which James and Remus both heard.
"Uh oh what?" James asked, looking back at Remus, who shrugged.
"We forgot that muggle air thing that makes your voice funny" James and Remus thought for a second about what Sirius said then
"The helium? We didn't forget it, it's right here." James said picking up a clear back, full of helium air.
"No, we forgot that the magic around the castle will make it-" At that moment the bag exploded sending the Marauder's to the floor. What happened next will never be forgotten by anyone anytime soon.
So what did you think about the new pretty young werewolf professor? Where is she going to be for her transformation in the next chapter? Please review and tell me what you think and how you think this story is coming along. Where should i take Professor Hunter from here? Should she be friends with The Marauder's, Lily and Harry or just there professor?
Review please c: Thank you
