Dumbledore stood up; ready to do his announcements, but my eyes were on the man next to him. He had dark brown hair and seemed youngish, especially next to Dumbledore.
He seemed perfectly at ease in his seat, talking to Professor Slughorn.
I listened as Dumbledore went through saying welcome to all the new students, and welcome back to everyone else. Also as he reminded everyone on the rules. Particularly us. I heard it every year, didn’t stop me.
“... And the forest, I’ll remind everyone, is forbidden.” I swear Dumbledore looked at James and me with a smile, his blue eyes sparkling.
I looked at James, a mischievous smile creeping up onto my face.
“Now, unfortunately, Professor Fisher has retired from his role as Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher.” Dumbledore carried on, and I looked back up. There was a murmur round the hall; Professor Fisher was generally pretty well liked.
“But sad as that is, we have an excellent replacement. I would like to welcome Professor Fournier to Hogwarts.” The man beside Dumbledore stood up, and was applauded.
“What do you think?” James asked as Dumbledore went on about some other stuff.
“Who knows?” I said, shrugging. “We’ll have to find out, won’t we? But he doesn’t really... Well, look like a DADA teacher.” I said. Remus was speculative, thinking about it, and Peter was eagerly hanging onto every word we said.
Remus smiled tiredly. “What does he look like, Sirius?” He asked, relatively amused by this.
“I don’t know.” I shrugged. “Just not a DADA teacher.”
“We gathered that much, Sirius.” James smirked.
“Goodnight everyone, and get well rested for classes tomorrow.” Dumbledore said.
Remus smiled. “I’ll see you guys in Gryffindor dorm. Prefect.” He said, walking away to lead the ickle first years.
