Our first lesson of the year, defense against the dark arts seemed like a way to kick off the year, "that's what the pink professor is teaching" Daphne told me, "Ohh.. god it's gonna be so boring" I groaned as we approached the classroom,
We seated ourselves in the middle close to Terry and Anthony, but not too far from Harry Potter either.
I rested my head in my hand as I saw Parvati Patil animate a flying origami bird into the ceiling, Which Seamus Finnigan whacked with his knuckle and a raucous applause came from the group of gryffindor lads.
Soon after, Crabbe had launched a paper ball at it with a wrist rocket to which perfectly targeted it and I laughed along with my fellow slytherins, anything Gryffindors do, Slytherins can do better.
suddenly the fluttering bird was engulfed in flames and descended upon Parvati desk as she looked down in dissapointment, I turned to see the pink witch with a sickly grin,
"Good morning children" she said in a high pitched voice.
I looked at Daphne with doubt then turned my head forward to see Anthony glimpsing at me again, I flushed a little and rested my head in my hand again, I began to day dream about when he tucked my hair behind my ear, and how his hair smells like a really weird but alluring combination of golden syrup and tobacco, mostly because he smokes and how attractive it makes him look.. I think my heart would flutter out of my chest if he asked me on a date.

"Students will raise their hand if they wish to speak in my class" said the pink witch in a stern, sharp tone,
I snapped out of my daydream and up straight, eager to know what is going on, "it's going to kick oooffff" Daphne quietly sang into my ear, "I bet it's Potter, class with him is always entertaining" I giggled
"It is the view of the ministry that a theoretical knowledge would be sufficient to get you through your examinations, which after all is what school is all about" the pink witch replied, returning to her high pitched tone, "what?" I whispered to Daphne, "we're not using magic?" She asked me, but I shrugged.
Suddenly Harry piped up, "but how's theory supposed to prepare us for what's out there?"
The pink witch stood her ground, "there is nothing out there dear! WHO do you imagine would want to attack children like yourself?" She retorted,
But in typical Harry fashion, he began to argue, "oh I dunno, maybe.. Lord Voldemort!" He dished out,
"Oooooof" I sighed to Daphne,
But the room remained silent, the pink professors face dropped,
"let me make this quite plain, you have been told that a certain dark wizard is at large once again.. this is a lie!" She replied to Harry, now standing Infront of his desk,
"It's not a lie, I saw him, I fought him!" Harry protested,
"DETENTION! Mr. potter!" Exclaimed the pink professor as she marched to the front of the class again,
"It's kicked off" I giggled to Daphne as Potter and the pink professor continued back and forth, until she screamed,
"ENOUGH!"
I looked at Daphne with wide eyes,
"See me later, Mr. Potter, my office" The pink professor giggled disturbingly.
