�Harry where have you been, you just ran out of the house and Dumbledore would only tell us that you wouldn�t be returning. Then the ministry said you were pregnant. We didn�t know what to think.�
�The ministry was correct, I was pregnant and I was given four choices. I could get an abortion, I could get married,� when he said this he glared at Longbottom, �or I could give my child up for adoption or I could leave the wizarding world. So I left.�
�Oh,� Ron said, uncomfortably, as Harry continued to glare at Neville.
When he didn�t stop glaring after a moment, Ron changed the subject.
�Hermione�s going to be so happy that your back,�
�She�s at Hogwarts?� Harry asked, forgetting about Neville for the moment and sounding much more cheerful.
�Yeah, she usually teaches Arithmacy, but Binns finally decided to retire so while Dumbledore is trying to find a replacement she�s teaching 1st, 5th and 7th year�s history. In her free time, Why is beyond me but then she�s Hermione, I don�t think I�ll ever understand her.�
Harry snorted at his old friends comment.
�You know I think she�s teaching some of the first years about you, why don�t you go up to her classroom and freak her out, while I finish my class?� Ron suggested quietly so the classes around them didn�t hear.
�Yeah I think I�ll do that,� he turned to Lizzy, �you finish your class, I have to go tell the headmaster that I�m hear, but I�ll go say hi to Hermione first, but I�ll meet you at dinner, hopefully if I haven�t been kicked out of the school grounds.�
Lizzy argued a bit but then agreed to finish the class and meet him later.
Harry left the group, ignoring Neville, and entered the school, making sure that noo teachers were around. He then made his way towards the old history class where sure enough Hermione was being bombarded with questions about �The-Boy-Who-Lived�.
Harry entered the room while her back was turned and moved to the side of the room where there was a bookcase to hide behind. A few of the first years saw him and went to comment to the teacher but he put a finger to his lips and the child closed her mouth again turning back to Hermione.
��was only afterwards that we found out that he was innocent, though if you ask me he could have been I bit less violent with Professor Weasley. The main problem came when we left the shrieking shack and Professor Lupin turned into a werewolf. Of course Harry was really stupid and followed Sirius even though there was a werewolf on the grounds. But��
�Hey I resent that,� Harry said stepping out of the shadows, �you followed me even though there was a werewolf on the grounds.�
Hermione stared at him for a moment, slowly blinking as if she didn�t believe that he was there.
�Miss Bicton is there a man standing over there?� she asked one of the girls in the front row.
�Yes Professor.�
No sooner had the girl said it, Hermione launched herself at Harry and burst out crying while hugging him.
�Harry where have you been, we tried to find you but you just disappeared, and you didn�t say goodbye or anything and� oh I missed you so much.� Hermione mumbled to Harry�s shoulder, as he hugged her close.
�Hey, don�t cry, I�m back now and you�ll look bad in front of your students.� Harry said, feeling uncomfortable with all the attention they were getting.
Hermione stepped back, and the next thing he knew, there was a resounding smack, his face snapped to the side and a sharp pain appeared in his cheek, something he was use to by know but not from his friends.
�Ow, what was that for?� he asked holding his face where her hand had hit him.
�Don�t you dare, ever leave again, you didn�t say goodbye you never wrote. You just left.� She snapped at him.
�Yeah well it wasn�t my fault and it doesn�t give you the right to slap me.�
Some pf the students sniggered at his comment, mostly the guys, while the girls had looks that told him they though he deserved to be slapped.
�Oh this is great you can help with my class.� Hermione said excitedly, as if Christmas had come early.
�Oh no, defiantly not,� Harry said, starting to back out of the room, but Hermione grabbed his arm and pulled him to the front of the room.
�Come on, who better to teach about Harry Potter then, Harry Potter.�
�He�s Harry Potter?� One of the students asked.
Harry glared at Hermione, but answered the question anyway, �Yes I�m Harry Potter.�
�You can�t be Harry Potter,� the boy replied.
�Oh really,� Harry said amused by the boy who seemed so certain of himself, �and why can�t I be Harry Potter.�
�Well look at you. You look like something the cat dragged in.�
�Mr Trout!� Hermione snapped.
�No it�s ok Hermione, I do look like something the cat dragged in, as you so nicely put it. But then,� Harry said as he approached the boy, �I think that if you lived in the London underground for 12 years or more, then you would look like something the cat dragged in.� He put his hands on the top of the boys desk and leaned in close to his face, looking every inch there powerful wizard he had been despite the his dirty, tattered cloths and the grime that covered him from his journey there. �Don�t you?�
Timothy Trout nodded timidly and Harry moved back to the front of the room.
�Ok so lets say you are Harry Potter,� another student said, �so why don�t you prove it, do one of the �amazing� spells that your so famous for.�
Harry turned to the new student, �I would except the ministry confiscated my wand, which makes that rather hard, and the only magic I have don�t in the last 12 years is an animagus transformation.�
�Why was your wand confiscated?� Sarah Bicton asked.
�Well that�s an interesting question, with has a long story behind it. But basically the students at Hogwarts weren�t told something that they should have been told, and as a result I became pregnant,� some of the Muggleborn students stated that that was impossible.
�That�s what I thought, but it was true and I have a beautiful daughter to prove it, but the reason my wand was taken is that birth out of wed-lock is considered one of the worst things that someone could do in the wizarding world so when my boyfriend refused to marry me, I was kicked out of the wizarding world.�
�But what about all the things you did for the magically world, they must have counted for something?� Casey Runnells, a Ravenclaw student asked.
�I would have thought so, but apparently not.�
�What�s your daughters name, shouldn�t she be at Hogwarts this year?� another student asked.
�Oh you�ll know by tonight, you�ll be able to tell by the loud shouting match that Dumbledore and I will be having not too far into the future, which reminds me, I have to go.�Hermione nodded and looked at her watch, �Oh goodness me the bell went 20 minutes ago, its dinnertime.�
The students all jumped up and moved towards the door quickly before homework could be given out.
Hermione tried to call them back, but they were gone.
�Oh well.� She went over to her desk and gathered up her notes. Harry helped and glanced at some of the notes he retrieved.
�You wrote notes about me?� he asked incredulously.
