A Tale of Two Professors

"What do you mean they are coming to teach here? Both of them?" A severely annoyed Severus Snape yelled at the headmaster.

"Severus please calm done. And yes they are both coming to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts for the next year." Albus Dumbledore replied.

"But why do they both have to come? Why can't only one of them come or find someone else entirely?" Severus said getting increasingly annoyed by the minute.

"I have asked them both to come because they are both fantastic teachers. Also for reasons I may not be able to explain to you now, I will need them close in the near future." Albus replied looking up for the first time since Severus entered his office. Severus didn't know what annoyed him most: the twinkle in the headmaster's eyes that represented knowledge that he would not be privy to or that two of the men he most hated were coming to teach at the school, for the following year.

Sick of Albus' riddles he turned with a swish of his cape and left the office in a foul mood.

Harry walked into the great hall followed by Ron and Hermione and sat down at the Gryffindor table. The great hall was filled with candles handing mid-air and the ceiling enchanted to look like the night sky outside. No matter how long he spent at this school, he could never quite capture the fool beauty of the castle or the magic that ran through it. He loved this school and he could not wish more than to be able to stay here forever.

"Welcome back to another year at Hogwarts. I have a few start of term announcements to make before you all become too engrossed in the feast. I would like to welcome Professors S. Black and R. J. Lupin who will both be filling in the post of Defence Against the Dark Arts. I hope you all join in wishing the new Professors luck for the oncoming year. Mr Filch has been kind enough to give me a list of all the rules and banned items which will be stuck to the entrance hall for the rest of the year. Now that's all done, Let the feast begin."

Harry, Hermione and Ron all looked towards the top table, seeking out the two new teacher who would both be teaching DADA for the rest of the year. Sitting next to a clearly seething Professor Snape sat a man with longish black hair; he had a longish nose and thin lips. He was pale and thin but Harry could see from his close that he was not completely without muscle. The man sitting next to him was taller and had honey blonde hair that covered his eyes when he leaned forward. He was paler than the man to the right but also had a longish nose and thin lips. His clothes: old but still rather smart looking. He was lean but still rather thin. Harry tore his eyes form the two new teachers when they both looked up and met his eyes.

Harry had never known for there to be two teachers teaching the same subject at the same time but he was looking forward to see what it was like. And for some unknown reason he felt as if he knew the two men but he quickly pushed those thoughts form his mind. How could he possible know them, he had never met them in his life.

After the feast Harry, Ron and Hermione all headed up to the Gryffindor tower. Every girl who passed them were all talking about how handsome and hot the new teachers were and how they couldn't wait for their first DADA lesson of the year. Even Hermione who Harry thought was immune to such girly conversations was talking avidly with Parvarti and Lavender about the new teachers. Harry and Ron could only just hear what they were saying and couldn't help but listen.

"Did you see those new professors? They are both so… so handsome." Lavender said with a dreamy look in her eyes.

"Definitely. Even though the tall one who has those scratches on his face looks good. I cannot wait for DADA." Parvarti replied with an equally dreamy look.

"I wonder why there are two of them though. I mean why not only one." Hermione said, she did not have a dreamy look but Harry and Ron could definitely see the redness in her cheeks as she spoke about the new teachers.

"Who cares why there is two of them. Just be glad that there is two and that they are both completely hot." Parvarti replied.

Harry had a strong feeling the girls in the school were going to become extremely annoying over the course of the next year.
