A Father A New Life Start Book 3

6. Lessons with a Toad

Today was their first Defence Against the Dark Arts for the Slytherin and Gryffindor fifth years and Harry wasn't liking it at all, for some strange reason she creeped him out big time and what did this black mist around her mean? he had no clue to be honest so he sat down next to Draco bumping knees as they normally did Otiz was under the table and Blaise sat next to Harry.

"I wonder where Her Pinkness is, I heard Fred and George had her last lesson and they didn't like her said someth..." Theo didn't get to finish his sentence as they spotted said Pinkness at the front of the classroom, he just looked down saying nothing.

"Welcome to Defence Against the Dark Arts fifth years I am your Professor for the year and hopefully longer that is" and she smiled to all of them but continued on with that she was saying.

"Well now, your teaching in this subject has been rather disrupted and fragmented, hasn't it? with the constant changing of teachers, many of whom do not seem to have followed any Ministry-approved curriculum; such a shame that is the Ministry wants all of it's student's to flourish; has unfortunately resulted in your being far below the standard we would expect to see in your O.W.L. year. You will be pleased to know, however, that these problems are now being rectified. We will be following a carefully structured, theory-centred, Ministry-approved course of defensive magic this year. Copy down the following, please. 

O.W.L Ordinary Wizarding Level's are a fundamental part of learning and testing, these tests will test you from what you have learnt from the moment you stepped through these doors when you were nothing but eleven year olds, so you must do your best to make sure you pass and with this new Ministry approved curriculum I know you will" she smiled sweetly, Otiz yawned he found her boring.

"But what about the practical work?" said Hermione to her.

"You shall raise your hands when wanting to speak in my classroom, that is proper manners, Potter!"

"That wasn't me, Professor" said Harry as he raised his hand to speak which she allowed as he had done what she wanted.

"We aren't going to learn anything here? what about spells?, theory work won't help us!" said Hermione again almost snapping at Umbridge.

"Potter that is enough!" said Umbridge to Hermione getting right into her face.

"I'm not that freak or that fag, my name is Hermione Jean Granger and I demand you tell us why were aren't doing any practical work! all the other past Professors have always taught us both and you want us to learn just the stupid theory behind it all that's just stupid if you ask me!" said Hermione jumping up by then end of it she was almost screaming.

Umbridge stepped back and fake coughed to get her emotions under control.

"Why for what ever would you need to practice your spell work?" she asked only to have Hermione to retort.

"To defeat Voldemort!"

"The man has been dead for the passed fourteen years".

"No Potter saw him, tell her Harry what you saw last year you told me!"

Harry raised his hand carefully and waited for Umbridge to let him speak.

"Oh for Merlin's sake Harry Potter just tell her! you saw Voldemort last year or was it two years ago when he became the fake Headmaster of this school! tell her! tell her you faggot! you freak!"

Harry jumped up "I'm not a freak and I'm gay Granger so shut up!"

"Detention Miss Granger and Mr. Potter tonight at 7pm after dinner, if you two are finished with infantile argument perhaps we can get on with this lesson".

Harry sat down and almost cried he hated being called and faggot and a freak his hand was still up and as he was about to drop it down Umbridge finally called on him.

"Potter what it is that you wanted anyway?" 

"I wanted to just tell you Professor my name is Hadrian Snape, I am Professor Snape's son I was adopted back in second year, I am no longer Potter".

"I see, well sorry for the mix up on your name I will call you by that name from now on, now return to reading of Defensive Magical Theory by Wilbert Slinkhand and then summarise the chapters in your own words".

Everyone opened their books to start to read as well as getting parchment out to make notes on what they were reading, Harry dropped his quill over the desk and Otiz not thinking went to pick it up.

"Get that beast out of here! I will not have animals in my class we are not in Care of Magical Creatures, no out with it!" screamed Umbridge to them all, this made Harry press his hands to his ears he still wasn't able to deal with loud noises or shouting.

Daphne put her hand up and Umbridge glared at her "what?"

"Um Otiz there is Hadrian's familiar they can't be separated it would hurt their bond and Otiz could be driven mad if you do, the same with Coco the occamy with Draco" explained Daphne to her.

"Snape detention for the next week, 7pm do you hear me! now back to reading I won't have another toe or useless discussion about teachers or stupid animals that shouldn't belong here" and she grabbed Otiz by his scruff and pulled him to the door only for him to transform.

"Let. Go. Of. Me. Toad!" his green eyes glowed at her his voice calm and still like ice daggers which made her drop him he landed with a small thud and he rose slowly.

The room got colder as he did.

"Touch me again and I will should you and everyone else around here just how dangerous a Kitsune and a Bakeneko can be and me being both I hear I'm doubly dangerous!" he hissed his hair flying around his tail was bristled and there was steam coming from his mouth, teeth and nails long and dangerous.

"Otiz stop!" said Harry almost in tears at what his familiar looked like he didn't like it one bit.

"DETENTION SNAPE FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS GET THIS THING OUT OF HERE NOW!" screamed Umbridge as the bell went to signal the end of class and for dinner.

Everyone packed up their things and left Hermione laughing at what was done, they were going to get that fleabag out of the school for sure now.

Harry is almost in tears as he entered the Great Hall, his hand in a human Otiz hand which made Severus and Tom head to him.

"What in Merlin happened Otiz?!" asked Tom.

"Blame the beaver and the toad" and he sat down not saying anymore to them as he started to plate up two plates with food.

"She dragged him, called me Potter and gave me detention for the week and it's Granger's fault, Voldemort is dead right papa?" he looked up at Tom when he said the last part.

"He is son he died fourteen years ago you killed him when you were only fifteen months thanks to a spell and runes your mother created" and he ruffled his hair, "now get some dinner in you ok we will speak later".
