I do not own Harry Potter, nor any of the characters from the books or movies. I do not make any money from the writing of this story.
Welcome
Hey all. The Characters that you do recognise are not mine. But those you don’t are mine. Simple as.
Once again the sorting Ceremony was about to begin and once again Headmaster Albus Dumbledore was about to begin the new role call. Students all seated at their tables, whether they were new or old they sat patiently awaiting the speech. The long serving staff were obediently waiting for their employer to proceed in his yearly tradition of introducing their new colleague.
\'Welcome one and all to another year at Hogwarts; I have a few things to say to you all first off the Forbidden Forest is still off bounds to all students. Finally I would like you to all be aware that Professors Tirza Underhill and Professor Remus Lupin have both consented to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts - together, you may begin to eat\"
Harry Potter was currently in his sixth year; he was sat at the Gryffindor table with his two best friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. All three students were chatting animatedly about the new professor and the return of a friend.
\"I bet Snape’s happy, not one person denying him the job of his dreams but two!\" Ron said excitably
\"Yeah! And one of them is Remus, bet the old bat loves that!\" Snorted Harry, Hermione wasn\'t paying to much attention, she was lost in thought, watching the new Professor.
\"He\'ll be hell in lesson though\" Ron added, by this point Hermione had snapped back to reality
\"Who will?\" She asked
\"Snape\" Ron and Harry said in unison
\"Professor Snape, Ron\" Both lads shook their heads when Hermione corrected them. After the feast was finished Hermione lagged behind to watch the fem female Professor. She noticed that Professor Underhill had been seated in-between Professor Snape and Professor Lupin. She also noticed that Professor Snape was giving her the most fearful glare she had ever witnessed him give out. When Hermione finally left the great hall with Harry and Ron they hadn\'t got far before they heard a hoarse voice from behind them.
\'All righ\' Harry, Ron and Hermione, o\' course?\"
\"Hagrid!!!\" All three youngsters pushed past a sea of students to greet their friend
\"I wan\' yer to come see me, things to tell yeh\" Hagrid said in his booming voice, he stood looking proud. Dumbledore then swept by ushering Hagrid away for the staff meeting leaving Harry and company behind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All the staff had been assembled in the staff room; they\'d been seated around a large oak table and were awaiting Dumbledore to join them. After a few moments of waiting, Dumbledore finally entered with Hagrid closely behind.
\'Sorry I\'m late. I was just rounding up stragglers\' Dumbledore gave Hagrid a look causing the latter to blush \'Any way I would like to Welcome Tirza and Remus to the fold\'
Most of the staff smiled and clapped, Tirza and Remus smiled back; soon everyone was getting to know each other. The staff room was alive for the best part of an hour; it became even livelier once Albus had brought out the Fire whiskey and Lemon Drops.
Tirza was quite content in talking to her Co-Defence Professor, Remus. They had begun to get on well, when suddenly Remus\'s smile was wiped off his face. He was looking behind her. To see what had caused Remus\'s sudden downfall in mood Tirza spun round to see a tall man dressed in black.
\'So Professor Underhill, what qualifications do you have in order to teach juveniles?\' The man spoke with an icy tone that was enough to send shivers even down the spine of Frosty the snowman
\'Enough to have got the job\' Tirza smiled
\'Indeed\' The man sneered; Tirza gave him her most patronizing smile. The smile did not go down well \'Let me guess, you won Witch Weekly\'s smile of the year award too?\' the man clearly depended on sarcasm.
\'Twice actually\' Tirza replied with an obvious hint of sarcasm. Remus had been an innocent bystander, who never wanted to get involved. He had listened to them swap sarcastic comments and decided enough was enough.
\'Severus I hate to stop you from attacking new professors with your renowned wit but I would like to take Tirza away. Tirza this is Professor Severus Snape, head of Slytherin and master of Potions, introductions done, lets go\' After his little tirade Remus led Tirza away and out of the staff room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry and Ron had left Hermione in the Gryffindor common room with Ginny Weasley; they had retreated back to their dorm. Both lads were alone, their other roommates hadn’t appeared yet so they were free to talk about what they liked.
\"It\'s great to see Remus back\" Ron said
\"Yeah, I\'m glad he\'s ok, after Sirius, you know?\" Muttered Harry, Ron nodded
\"Ok? Blimey, I\'d be more then Ok knowing I was to work with a girl of Underhill’s calibre!\"
\"I wouldn\'t let Hermione hear you say that Ron\" Harry said trying to stifle a laugh
\'Ronald Weasley! Don\'t be so stupid! She\'s your teacher blah blah\' Ron said in a mock Hermione voice.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the Defence classroom Tirza was sitting on the edge of the desk in which the Professor should sit. She was swinging her legs whilst watching Remus put up charts of different magical creatures. When Remus had finished he turned to look at the black haired Professor.
\'You shouldn\'t wind up Severus you know,” he said seriously, Tirza snorted.
\'Why what’s he going to do? Bite me? Oh pur-lease!\" Remus shook his head
\'He is a very powerful man, it wouldn\'t be wise to get on the wrong side of him\'
\"Right ok, I wont wind him up\" Tirza smiled. Remus summoned up a couple of mugs of tea before they settled down to plan future lessons.
