Harry's Second Chance

An Angry Mum, and a new Professor

James and Lily Potter hurried off to see Harry. As Madam Pumfrey quickly fallowed them she explained everything to them.
Three corridors and two flights of stairs later they finally made it to the hospital wing.
They hurried in and ran to their sons bed, only to find him asleep again, but this time Ginny tucked away in his arms, also in a deep sleep.
She smiled and covered them up, as she went to put Harry's hand under the blanket her eyes caught white looking scratches.
You could see the fire burning in her eyes and she ran her fingers gently over her sons scared hand.
A horrified shriek came almost instantly.
Causing everybody in the room to jump, including those asleep.
James rushed over to her.
"Lily, love what is it?" He asked, concern lacing his voice.
She turned and all but shoved Harry's hand in his face.
He gasped in shock and anger too filled his eyes.
"Harry!" He exclaimed.
Harry now fully awake, pulled his hand away quickly. Looking nervously at his parents.
"Why did you do that?" Lily asked, forcing herself to remain calm.
"I I can explain! I didn't, well technically I did, but it wasn't 'me'." He said.
"Then who?" His parents asked in unison.
"Professor Umbridge." He whispered.
"Who?" Lily growled.
"Professor Umbridge." He said a little louder.
"The t-teacher?" She gasped.
He nodded.
"I assume Ginny has the same thing?" James asked, finally reading what was so clearly carved into his sons hand. Harry just nodded.
"Ginny let me see your hand dear." Molly said, her voice shaky from anger.
Ginny reluctantly raised her hand for her mother to see.
The fire burning in their eyes the two mothers stormed off, wands in hand.
"This isn't going to be pretty." Harry murmured. James looked at his son, anger still evident in his features.
"You should have told us sooner Harry!" He scolded. "Both of you!"
"I know." Was all he said.
They sat waiting on Molly and Lily, they waited for half an hour until they heard a loud explosion. James took off out the door.
Harry hastily trying to fallow.
"Harry no! You're still hurt." Ginny said trying to pull him back onto the bed.
"I have to Gin." He said grabbing his wand. She sighed.
"Well I'm coming too then." He nodded.
He hobbled out of the hospital wing Ginny right behind him.
They came upon a the scene of their mothers and Umbridge in a duel. Ginny let out a sharp breath seeing they spells flying and the screaming.
"You foul woman! How could you harm a child?!" Lily screamed sending another hex, one Ginny knew all too well, the bat bogey hex.
The two children couldn't help but smile a little as they watched their mothers attack the foul old toad, but they soon had to break it up. Harry disarmed his mother as Ginny disarmed her's. James disarmed Umbridge and magically bound her hands.
Lily rounded on Harry, furiously she yelled. "Harry James Potter you give me my wand back this instance!"
Harry looked at his father for help, "Mum it's okay. Um. Dad told me to!" He panicked.
Lily glared and held her hand out. Reluctantly Harry placed her wand gently in her hand.

An hour later they were all seated in Professor Dumbledore's office.
The Minister of Magic came and to keep the word of a Ministry worker, was harming the children of the wizarding world, out of the Daily Prophet.
"Tell me now Dumbledore! How am I going to allow you to fire your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher when you have gotten a replacement?" The Minister of Magic, aka, Cornelius Fudge, demanded.
Dumbledore all but smiled at him. His icy blue eyes peering at him through his half moon spectacles.
"Oh have no fear Cornelius, for I have a replacement." Dumbledore chuckled.
Fudge looked flabbergasted. "Well who is it Albus?" At this Dumbledore looked around the room and his eyes stopped at Harry's family.
"Well I'd say Mr. Potter would make a fine Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher don't you Cornelius?"
James looked taken aback.
"Albus are you sure about that?"
He asked.
"Of course. James you will start Monday. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. You are all dismissed."
As everyone filed out of the office James stayed behind.
"Um. Sir. What about Lily and the twins?" He asked hesitantly.
Albus Dumbledore smiled, for he had seen this question coming.
"Of course they could stay here. I could have your chambers added with a couple more rooms and a living area. Fit for you family. If you wish." James mouth was slight ajar, shock all over his face. "Y- you'd do that for me?" He asked amazed.
"Of could Professor, now I suggest you head back to your family. I'm sure Harry has plenty of questions for you." James nodded and said thank you for Dumbledore's generosity and went off to his family.

And this is how Hogwarts lost the second worst Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, but gained the second best Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
