"Hey Percy, who's that Professor?" Harry said looking at a young and handsome man who was sitting at the far right of him at the teachers table, black hair loosely placed in a ribbon tie which barley reached his shoulders and wore black elegant clothing with silver trimmings. His grey eyes looking at the Headmaster with amused boredom as he moved his wand with silent spells, changing Dumbledore's hat to an even more absurd one then the last.

Although by the other Professors amused reaction and the Headmaster not paying to much attention to his changing appearance, as well with the older students paying no mind other then glimpses every so often, this appeared to be normal.

"Oh, that's Professor Black. He teaches Potions with Professor Snape and is the substitute professor when a professor can't make their class." Percy said not even looking up from his quite enjoyable food.

"But I'd be careful around him, not that his dangerous, just that his a real wild card." Fred or George said with a laugh; Harry still was not sure which was which.

"That's right, when Snape became a teacher, Black was brought in by Dumbledore to work here as well. It's common knowledge that he was dragged by his collar, you can even ask the paintings," George or Fred said, although Harry was not sure how asking a painting would help.

"But don't get us wrong, his actually a really good teacher- great with children-helps us out a lot." The twins said in unison.

Harry was not sure what to think of this Professor. At first glance in appearance, he looked to be of high class elegance, but with his antics, there was just no telling.

"Is he from the Black family?" Ron asked taking more notice of the Professor and, by the looks of it, other first year students in multiple houses were starting to realize to.

"Yup, the last one out here." Fred or George said.

"Although don't mention his brother to him," George or Fred said.

"It's a touchy subject," they said in unison again which apparently was quiet normal for them.

"What does his family have to do with anything?" Hermione said giving Ron a puzzled look.

"The Black family is full of nutters; whole family full of dark wizards, he's probably the last one out and about, all the other living ones are in Azkaban. Caught red handed working directly for the dark lord himself. They didn't even deny it." Ron said stuffing his face in chicken.

Harry looked back at Professor Black who now took notice of Harry's constant stare and gave a small amused smile which made Harry look away quickly.

"I'm sure that he isn't like his family, the other Professors don't seem to think badly of him at all," Hermione stayed with a small blush to her cheeks as many other girls had as well.

"He's is quite a knowledgeable man and is unbiased too; you'll be having him for your first year, all the way to fourth year, then afterwards you'll be having Professor Snape for the rest of your time at Hogwarts and alchemy, if you qualify and if there are enough students," Percy said making notice of a man that was sitting two sits away from Professor Black which reminded Harry of looking like an over grown bat that was talking to Professor Quirrell.

"And Professor Snape; is he a good teacher too?," Harry said looking briefly at Snape then back at Percy.

"Well, he knows his potions, but his room is quite dark and he much prefers the Slytherins and hates Gryffindor with a passion. But as long as you listen well to Blacks lessons, you'll be fine."

It wasn't long after that they went to there dormitories which left Harry in thought.

"How are my classes going to be?"

Extra
•This is basically a story of if Regulus Black survived but went into hiding with only Kreacher knowing where

•Dumbledore went off in a hunt in France to find him after finding out he was alive (don't ask me how he found out)

•Dumbledore asked him (forced him) to become a teacher at Hogwarts after having got Snape about a couple months earlier (Dumbledore blackmailed Regulus to comply after saying it would be quite troublesome if his brother found him)

•Dumbledore also know Regulus is a good boy and that he knows something about the Dark Lord and figured that if he at least won't say anything to him, at least he can kept an eye on him

•And after all these years of teaching, he's become good company to the school
