"Welcome! Welcome to another year at Hogwarts! I have a few things to say, before we become befuddled by our excellent feast. I myself am particularly looking forward to the flaming kiwi cups, which, while somewhat treacherous for those of us with facial hair"Dumbledore says as he stands up at the front of the Hall and  McGonagall clears her throat"Mm. Yes. First, I'm pleased to welcome Professor R.J. Lupin, who has kindly consented to fill the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Good luck to you, Professor"Dumbledore says and we all clap and I send him a smile

"Of course! That's why he knew to give you the chocolate, Harry"Mione tells him as we here someone psst and we turn and Draco is looking at us

"Is it true you fainted? I mean you actually fainted"Draco asks amused

"Shove off"Ron tells him as he turns around

"How did he find out"Harry asks

"Just forget it"I tell Harry

"As some of you may know, Professor Kettleburn, our Care of Magical Creatures teacher for many years, has decided to retire in order to spend more time with his remaining limbs. Fortunately, I'm delighted to announce that his place will be filled by none other than our own Rubeus Hagrid!"Dumbledpre says and we applause  as Hagrid turns ruby red, rises, and nearly topples the staff table, sending water goblets weaving."Finally, on a more disquieting note, Hogwarts at the request of the Ministry of Magic  will, until further notice, play host to the Dementors of Azkaban.The Dementors will be stationed at the entrances to the grounds. While they are under strict orders not to enter the castle itself, you will on occasion see them as you go about your daily activities. Under no circumstances are you to approach them. It is not in the nature of a Dementor to be forgiving"Dumbledore continues

Me,Harry, Ron and Hermione arrive at the seventh floor landing and approach the fat lady  in the portrait. "Fortuna Major" Harry says

"No,No,No. wait."she tells Harry and she begins to sing very high pitched making us cover our ears "Amazing just with my voice"She says as she cracks it

"Fortuna Major" I say to her

"Oh alright, go in"She says and we walk in and Dean walks straight through a ghost as he walks up the stairs.
