For the whole day, this very moment is what excites Carina Black the most this week. It is their first class with Professor Lupin A.K.A. her Uncle Moony. It is his first Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson.
The students sat down, took out their books, quills, and parchment, and were talking when he finally entered the room. Remus smiled and placed his tatty old briefcase on the teacher’s desk.
"Good afternoon," he said. "Would you please put all your books back in your bags. Today’s will be a practical lesson. You will only need your wands."
A few curious looks were exchanged as the class put away their books. They had never had a practical Defense Against the Dark Arts before, unless you counted the memorable class last year when their old teacher had brought a cage full of pixies to class and set them loose.
"Right then," said Professor Lupin, when everyone was ready. "If you’d follow me."
Puzzled but interested, the class got to their feet and followed the professor out of the classroom. Carina went ahead of everyone to walk beside Remus, "Great start, already a practical lesson?"
"Oh, this lesson will surely be helpful and meaningful, that's why," Remus smiled at his goddaughter. "You haven't visited me since we arrived," he added nudging her and showing a little sad face.
"Oh apologies, the days went ahead of me and I lost track honestly. I'd say, we have some tea later? I have been meaning to ask you something too, Moony," Carina said.
"Sure, star," he replied as he led them along the deserted corridor and around a corner, where the first thing they saw was Peeves the Poltergeist, who was floating upside down in midair and stuffing the nearest keyhole with chewing gums
"Loony, loopy Lupin," Peeves sang. "Loony, loopy Lupin, loony, loopy Lupin!" As rude and unmanageable as he always was, Peeves usually showed some respect towards the teachers.
"I’d take that gum out of the keyhole if I were you, Peeves," Remus said pleasantly, showing a small smile.
"Mr. Filch won’t be able to get in to his brooms," he added. However, Peeves paid no attention to Professor Lupin’s words.
He gave a small sigh and took out his wand.
"This is a useful little spell," he told the class as he looked over his shoulder. "Watch closely," he added.
He raised his wand and said, "Waddiwasi!" and pointed it at Peeves. With the force of a bullet, the chewing gum shot out of the keyhole and straight down Peeves’s left nostril. He whirled upright and zoomed away, cursing.
"Cool, sir!" said Dean Thomas in amazement. "Thank you, Dean," said Professor Lupin, putting his wand away again.
"Tss, show off," said Carina. She rolled her eyes and smirked at her uncle Moony.
"Shut up, Black," she heard Harry Potter said from behind her.
She is genuinely shocked as to why Potter said that out of the blue. Her mouth is very slightly agape, and her eyes widened. "What is your problem?"
"You're being rude, that's why," Weasley answered, looking furious.
"Don't worry, I'm quite used to my god daughter's mean remarks," Remus told the group with a small smile, emphasizing the word "goddaughter".
