Chapter 5: Class helpers

I walked away from Care of Magical Creatures and up to my classroom. I pushed all the desks to the side and placed the mats down. Then I began doing push ups to wait for them. I heard the Slytherins come in but I ignored them and kept going. A couple minutes later the Gryffindors came in.

"Alright class, last time we didn't end up doing much. This time we will be choosing our weapons. Don't worry,it might take a couple classes to find the right one. Make sure it is balanced in your hand and not too heavy." I said.

Everyone walked over to the racks of weapons. Most of the gryffindors chose swords but Neville had a bow, Hermione had a dagger and a couple other kids chose spears. A lot of the Slytherins chose daggers but some people, like Draco, chose a sword, a couple people chose spears and no one chose bow and arrow.

"Right so Ms. Chase and I are going to spar to give you an example of how to fight dagger to sword." Annabeth took out her dagger and walked up to me. I took out my pen. I heard a muggleborn gryffindor snort, "What are you gonna do with that write on her?" He mocked. I uncapped it and it turned into Riptide. I heard them mumble something under their breath and I turned back to Annabeth.

We started circling. She lunged forward and faked right but at the last second tried to stab my left side. I side stepped and slashed at her side. She blocked and kicked my shin.

I backed up a couple feet and we circled again. I ran at her and jumped. I flipped over her head and landed behind her. I put my sword point against her back. "Never gonna beat me Annabeth." I taunted.

I wasn't watching her feet and she shot her leg out behind her, kicking me in the knee. I fell backwards and she spun so she was behind me, pointing her sword to where my Achilles heel used to be. "You were saying?" She asked. "I believe I've won. You yield?" She asked.

Just like I had, she forgot to pay attention to my feet. I threw my foot back, knocking her over and I got up. She got up just as fast and we continued to fight.

Ten minutes later I was standing behind her with my sword on the side of her neck. "I believe I win," I smirked. "Fine, I yield. But one of these days I'm going to win." "Whatever you say" I said.

We turned back to face the class and saw that the only ones not completely jaw dropped were Draco, Hermione, and the others that came with us. "Professor, can we fight now?" Thalia asked, knowing I hate titles. "Yes. Those with the bow and arrows will go with Frank Zhang. Those with daggers will be with Annabeth Chase, those with swords will be with me, and those with spears will be with Miss Thalia Grace." I said, using her last name.

The seven and Nico all ooooooo'd. Thalia looked like she was about to blow. "We're training later." Is all she said as she walked towards the kids with spears. Draco walked up to me as everyone went to their groups. "Dude what did you just do?" He asked. "I pretty much signed a death warrant." I answered. "Got that right Kelp head!" Thalia yelled from her group. I sighed and turned to my group.

I taught them how to hold the sword right and what position their feet should be in, the simple stuff. My class was last for the day so we went back to the common room to hangout. We decided to train tomorrow so we just hung out and talked.

During dinner Leo caught some of our food on fire as an incognito way of sacrificing for the gods. The wizards all freaked out but we put it out pretty quick. After dinner we went back to the common room and Hermione, Draco, and Luna joined us. The night went by pretty quick and those three went back to their common rooms and the rest of us went to our rooms.
