Professor Di Angelo

Chapter 2- Back to school

Ron's Pov

Mum shouted from the downstairs landing.

"Hurry up, Ron!" In that shrill voice of hers, it was so bloody annoying. Don't get me wrong, I loved my mum and all, but sometimes it just got too much with that shouting.

"I'm coming." I shouted back from outside my room before apparating into the living room. Harry, Hermione and my family were all gathered here. I wonder what could be so important, that all of us had to gather in a congested area.

I stood by the huge fire place, observing the old furniture, the grandfather clock showed that every Weasley was home, well except from Bill and Charlie and Percy.

Since it was early morning, the owl post was coming very soon, about now. Erol flew through the window, almost, she hit the closed window next to it, sliding down like a dead bird. Then she popped up again, flying through the correct window, the one above the kitchen sink. She had Hogwarts letters. She was supposed to bare one, just for Ginny, not four.

I opened and read mine as soon as it was handed to me.

With the familiar Hogwarts emblem on the top, it read:

Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry.

Head master Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore.
(Order of Merlin, First Class, Supreme Mugglewump of the International Confederation of Wizards, Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot and Grand Sorcerer)

Dear Mr Weasley,

We are pleased to imform you that you have been invited to join Hogwarts for one more year.

As last years studies was interrupted because of a certain Dark Lord, you are to repeat a year.

We have decided you will not need any books, you may have a pet and you may have a broomstick. What will be provided is all you need although, you will need to provide yourself with your own ink and quill, preferably, enough for the whole school year.

We hope to see you on September 1st.

Yours sincerely,

Professor McGonnagal

Head of Gryffindor house
Deputy headteacher
 

Apparently, according to my Hogwarts letter, we had to go back to redo our last year. You know, because of the Battle of Hogwarts, which I fought in and helped win.

Anyways, where was I. Dumbledore had just gotten here also, if he was here it must be quite important. I stood up slightly straighter.

"Dumbledore, what a surprise, what brings you here, what do you need?" Mum questioned kindly.

Dumbledore never needed anything and here he was, about to ask for help. I was absolutely flabbergasted, completely bloody gobsmacked.

"Yes Molly, it has indeed come to the time where I need a favour."

"What is it?" My mum asked patiently.

"My old, or should I say young friend is in need of a place to stay."

Dumbledore's piercing blue eyes scanned the room and landed on the corner next to the grandfather clock. There was a prominent, dark, mysterious shadow lurking there.

"Nico, I know your there, you can't scare me." Dumbledore laughed. Never in all the years I had spent at Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore laugh.

An unknown voice spoke. "Aww, come on Al, you ruin all my fun and I am so going to get you, you told me they had no kids."

Now I'm not gay, but if I was I would say that the guy who hopped out of the shadow was very handsome. I felt self conscious about my long, bowl cut, ginger hair and the pimples that littered my face. This guy's skin was flawless and his hair was cut to suit his face, with some sticking up and some falling on his face, past his eyes.

"Yes, so this is where you will be staying?" Dumbledore paused and looked at my mum who nodded in confirmation. "Farewell Weasley family, Harry and Hermione." He said smiling at everybody individually.

He was halfway through the door when he turned slightly and said to the random bloke "Don't forget about the favour you owe me, and don't forget to write to me. Farewell again."

Dumbledore bid us goodbye.

Hermione' Pov

Even though the guy was suspicious looking, he was amazingly good looking. He had god like features. He was very scary and intimidating though. He wasn't too old for me, he looked 18 and I was 17, perfect!

After Professor Dumbledore left, he has shown no emotion, it was like he was a stone cold rock, it was creepy.

Mrs Weasley showed Nico to his room, Fred and George's old room. Even though they were trouble makers, I still missed them.

Nico, I learned his name from when Dumbledore said it, never talked to anybody. It didn't matter to him because almost everybody ignored or avoided him.

--Time Skip--

I was just brushing my teeth before heading to bed. I shared a room with Ginny. Everybody was just doing their bedtime routine.

Nico had gone to sleep straight after dinner, claiming he was tired. I heard a lot of shuffling the floor below me. The walls were thin. The house looked like it was put together like a topsy turvy cake.

You could literally hear everything, so if any naughty business was going on, you would definitely know.

I headed to the irregular noises the floor below me, I obviously put my toothbrush in the cup on the sink, before I left the bathroom.

It seemed like I was not the only person to hear these noises. It was all coming from Nico's room. Harry and Ron and the Weasley parents and daughter were already here crowding around the left bed.

Nico was sleeping at an uncomfortable angle, his head was hanging off the bed and one of his legs underneath the weight of his body.

The shadows around the room were drawn towards him, making a grey/black swirling mass shape into a crown on his head. A sceptre was in his hand, also make from the shadows.

We had all decided to keep our wands pointed at him and watch him overnight. We all ran when he was waking up. We could tell because the shadows left and resumed their places and he was rolling over and mumbling.

When we got to Hogwarts, I really was itching to research about his guy.
