(1991 September 1st) Camille's POV

Not a lot has happened in the last ten years. My name was cleared and I could go back to my old life. But I choose not to. Hermione needed me and I wanted to start a new life. Free of my past of Sirius. So I've continued living as Melody Hope Prewett. But the Order knows my true identity encase Voldemort ever raises again.

I've kept tabs on Harry and Neville over the years. Augusta has been taking good care of Neville as Alice and Frank are still no in the right state of mind to do so. I gave Neville a frog for his eleventh birthday and he named it Trevor. Needless to say though I was unpleased with how Harry was being raised. But Dumbledore won't let me take him away from his muggle relatives. So now a squib called Mrs Figg keeps an eye on him.

I'm a part time Charms professor at Hogwarts teaching first to third years. While Professor Flitwick teaches those in fourth year and up. I am also a part time healer at Saint Mungo's. But also help out at Hogwarts when needed. Speaking of Hogwarts, Snape is Potions master and head of Slytherin.

Anyway lets get back to the present. Today is the first of September and a new year at Hogwarts is about to begin. With Harry and Hermione starting their first years there. I took Hermione and her parents to platform 9 3/4s that morning. Now I sit in the great hall at the teachers table, between Professors Flitwick and McGonagall. Waiting for the first years to be sorted. Honestly it still feels weird sitting at the teachers table.

"Do you think Harry will be in Gryffindor?" Flitwick asks me.

"I'd be surprised if he wasn't" I tell him smiling. Just then McGonagall appears leading the first years up the hall. She has the first years wait in front of the stairs and Hermione waves at me. I give her a smile then look at Harry and my breathing hitches. He looks just like James with his messy black hair and he still has Lily's amazing green eyes.

I break out of my thoughts as McGonagall calls the first student. "Abbot, Hannah" A pink-faced girl with blonde pigtails stumbled out of line. She reminded me of Alice from our first year. She was placed into Hufflepuff. The nest person Susan Bones was also placed into Hufflepuff while Terry Boot was placed into Ravenclaw.

I lost track until it was Hermione's turn and clapped loudly when she was placed into Gryffindor. Next person I paid attention to was Neville, who was also placed into Gryffindor. I then watched the hat barely touch the head of Draco Malfoy before he shouted Slytherin.

Anyway it is finally time for Harry to be sorted. As Harry stepped forward, whispers suddenly broke out like little hissing fires all over the hall. I rolled my eyes mentally at that. Honestly, do they have to make such a big deal out of it. Imagine if they knew who I really was. I watched Harry whisper something before the sorting hat shouts "Gryffindor!" I nearly squeal aloud at how happy and proud I felt.

The sorting continues and I just clap politely now for the first years. "Weasley, Ronald" McGonagall calls. Honestly, how many children did they have? He too was placed in Gryffindor like his five brothers before him. Charlie just graduated last year and it Romanian studying dragons. I helped him a lot to get there and if I remember correctly he said he had five brothers and one sister. So we still have one Weasley left to arrive.

I also talk to the twins a lot, I even showed them how to use the Marauders map. That they stole from Filch in their first year. They're great pranksters and are very creative. Anyway the sorting finished with a Blaise Zabini being placed into Slytherin. Dumbledore stands up to say a few words.

"Welcometo a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!" he states. "Thank you" he says sitting down as the feast appears. I grab my food and start to eat slowly enjoying the food.

"So what will you be teaching the first years first?" McGonagall asks me.

"Levitation" I say smiling. "It was the very first spell I ever did and I want it to be Harry's" I tell her.

"That's lovely, but remember you can't give any students special treatment" she reminds me.

"I know" I assure her. I then see Snape talking to the new DADA teacher Quirrell. Honestly the guy gives me the creeps and is always giving me weird looks. He doesn't know my true name, but I feel like he does. Which scares me for some reason. But I decide to keep quiet and investigate myself later on.
