Demigod Teacher
Harry's P.O.V (3 weeks prior)
The room was bustling as the Order of the Phoenix discussed the matters at hand. From what Voldemort was up to, to what the ministry wasn't doing to combat the threat.
Normally we wouldn't be allowed into the meeting however apparently we had been ordered to by someone else to be here for our sakes so we didn't feel like we were being left out of important information.
Professor Dumbledore sat at the head of the table with Sirius and Snape at either side of him. The headmaster then stated "now onto why our young students are here. Severus what's the news on your contact?"
Snape coughed and said "obviously he told me that the children should be allowed into the meeting as someone experienced in wars. I thought it was a smart idea that we listened to us. As for the job he confirmed he would take up the position."
The headmaster took a deep sigh of relief and said" good, did he say when he could arrive? " Sabpe nodded and said camly" he and his wife are making sure their family has a hold of their house before coming across. They expect that they will arrive on the 1st but say they might be a bit late due to the time difference but they will try to be early as possible."
The headmaster smiled and said" good then I can inform the ministry they don't have to fill the position themselves. That's a huge relief".
Sirius then spoke up "how the hell do we know that this contact Snivillus has is even trust worthy?!" Snape stood up and slammed his hands on the table and said "fine you know what you'd tinky old mutt?! I swear on my magic that my contact is one of the most trustworthy and courageous people I have ever known even more than Lily!" the entire room gasped and Sirius sat down. Snape cared about my mum?
The meeting dragged to an end and just as I was about to leave Sirius said "pup can you stay behind for a sec?" nodding I made my way over to the older men and Dumbledore said "Professor Snape's contact will be training you in how to defend your mind this coming year. I hope you don't mind. Shaking my head I said "erm it's fine Professor. I think I should go. I believe that Ron and Hermione are waiting for me."
Sirius shooed me out and I turned to face Hermione whose face was scrunched up deep in thought. Asking out loud "what was it that Snape said that made the entire room go silent"
Ron shuddered and said "he swore on his magic that his friend was trustworthy" Hermione then said "it means if Snape is wrong his magic will be stripped from him by his own magic. He took a huge chance saying it which means he truly trusts this person. Hopefully he's a good teacher whoever he is.
Mrs Weasly appeared at that point and forced us away and told us to go to bed as we were going to have a long day tomorrow of more cleaning...fun.
3 weeks Later (1st September)
We had been sent to the common room soon after the new DADA teacher had arrived, seeing as he arrived during pudding. The room was abuzz as people were discussing the Toad and the new Teacher. A lot of the 6th and seventh year year girls were discussing how hot and handsome he was with his perfectly chiseled face.
Managing to make our way to the red seats in front of the fireplace the the 3 of us sat down and Ron said "Blimey, The ministry really is trying to interfere with the school" Hermione groaned and said "In a big way, who knows which Teacher could get fired because they aren't teaching to Ministry standards".
Suddenly through the crowds appeared Dean Thomas, one of the other boys in my year looking angry as he marched towards me. Standing up I asked "Is there a Problem Dean?" He threw a Newspaper at me and said "You tell me Potter" Looking at the paper I saw it was an article by Rita Skeeter about how I claimed that Voldemort was back.
Sighing at Dean I asked "SO let me guess you don't believe me?" He glared at me "I don't know what to believe but I know that my mum believes that! I was almost not allowed back at school this year!" Muttering spread around the entire classroom as Dean spoke clearly he wasn't the only one in this situation.
Getting up onto the couch I said "Look I know it's only my word to go on that he's back but I promise you he is really back. His real name is Tom Marvolo Riddle so first of all camm him Riddle instead of using his other name." Then what Snape had done to promise our new DADA teacher was trustworthy ran through my mind.
AFter that I had asked Sirius how he did it and I remembered what he had told me "Snape put his magic into his words and it means that Snape would lose his magic if he broke his promise". Feeling the magic within me I spoke out loud and clear "I swear on my magic that Tom Marvolo RIddle also known as Lord Voldemort returned to life on the night of the final Task!" Pulling out my wand I cast Lumos and lit the room up. The room went quiet and Dean said "Right I'm sorry I doubted you mate." Before scampering off to bed.
Suddenly falling onto the couch I groaned as my body started to feel super tired and I asked "Why does my body feel so tired all of a sudden" Hermione in her typical fashion said "You used your magic in force, it's sort of like your sing a bunch of energy at once and such a powerful vow no doubt made your magic strain yourself no matter how powerful you are harry. Ron maybe help Harry up to bed, I will see you boys in the morning."
Ron dragged me up to bed and the moment my face hit the pillow I was out cold. I really was exhausted from making a vow on my magic.
The Next Morning
The three of us stood outside of Professor Jackson's office nervously. We were the first ones there as we had left early from breakfast to get here after out timetables had been handed out. The door was slightly open revealing a small bit of the room but we couldn't see the teacher.
Inside though there was a "Are you three just going to stand around out there or are you going to come in?" Taking a deep breath I pushed the door open to see Professor Jackson placing things onto his desk including a Photo and a Pen.
He looked the three of us up and down "Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasly Mr Potter and Miss Granger can you please sit here please. Mr Weasley, can you sit two rows behind Miss Granger." He pointed out the seats and we nodded. I wonder why he split me and Hermione up from Ron?
As more people came in he pointed them towards their seats and then the bell went and he said "Good Morning class. As I said last night my name is Professor Jackson and welcome to the worst year of your lives."
The entire class groaned and Professor Jackson chuckled saying "As many of you know and did there was a test that you needed to do before term began and sent back. You are so far behind the rest of the magical world when it comes to Defense and it's my job this year to make sure that you are up to standard for your owls. This year you will have at least one DADA class per day, either 3 hours lessons or 2 1 and half hour classes."
There was a coughing from the back of the classroom and we all turned around to see the Pink Toad standing there as she said in her shrill voice "Don't you think doing so much in one class is a bit extreme Mr Jackson?!" Professor Jakson rolled his eyes and said "Your from the Ministry right. Well I'm kind of surprised that you want your youth to be unprepared for the future and not have the right qualifications. Cause I can say this right now. If a single one of these students wanted to get a job outside of the UK? They would be turned down for not knowing enough. In an ever connected world both Magical and Mor...Muggle that is not good."
Wait, what was that he was saying before he said Muggle? It sounded like he slipped up. However I decided to not focus on that for the time being instead choosing to focus on the problem at hand which was seeing the Toad's reaction. Let's say she didn't speak again for the rest for the day after having that thrown back at her.
Professor Jackson shook his head and said "Alright class today you will be casting expelliarmus against each other. In most cases I have tried to pair you up with other houses other than in a couple of cases. You will notice the class is split into two sets of two tables. The person you are next to is who you are paired with"
So I was going to be paired with Hermione? That's cool. He said "Now up and onto your feet", everyone stood up and stepped away from the tables. Professor Jackson placed his hand against a wall and a wave went flying across the room. The tables disappeared into the ground while the walls seemiling produced padded Matts.
Professor Jackson gave a dark smirk and said "Get ready for hell to begin class. This is only just the beginning." as we paired up.
A/N I hope you enjoyed this chapter. If you have a spare moment may I suggest you go and listen to "Rewrite" and "Into the Darkness" by Gio Navas on Youtube. Those two songs were based on the PJO franchise.
