The story of Three: Harry Potter and the Next Generation

Back to school

    The first day of classes flew by quickly, until the last three classes. Herbology, Potions and Defense Against The Dark Arts.
   "Dad is going to kill us." James groaned "And so are uncle Neville and uncle Draco."
    "No they're not." Lily reassured "To tell you the truth, I think your dad was kind of proud."
  "Why would he be proud Lils?" Teddy asked "We could have been kissed!"
  "Because we didn't want to stand by and let them be outnumbered. We wanted to help. The Mark of a true Gryffindore." Lily said
  The boys looked at her like she'd gone mad and walked into Potions. They sat next to Scorpius and Sara and smiled.
  "Heard you fought dementors." Scorpius whispered "Brilliant."
   Suddenly the door burst open and Draco Malfoy stormed into the room, shutting the windows as he went.
   "I am professor Malfoy." He declared
  "Oh great." A Ravenclaw whispered "He's going to favor Malfoy."
"And before you get the thought in your little twelve year old brains." Draco snapped at the comment "There will be no favoritism at all."
   Scorpius smiled and glared at the girl who'd insulted his dad's professionalism. Lily stifled a laugh an prepared her things for class.
   "Now." Draco continued "Who can tell me the purpose of the wolfesbane  potion?"
   Lily and Teddy's hands shot up.
"Mr. Lupin." Draco smiled
  "The wolfesbane potion is a potion you give to a werewolf the week of the full moon so that on the night of the full moon they can simply curl up in a safe area as a harmless wolf and wait for the moon to wane." Teddy explained
   "Well done. Five points to Gryffindore." Draco said, with a nod "Ms. Black. Can you tell me what the purpose of the amorentia potion?"
   "It is a love potion, when you inhale the aroma of the potion you smell the three smells that are most appealing to you." Lily said
   "Very good. Five points to Gryffindore." He smiled "Ms. Davenport."
   The Ravenclaw girl who had made the comment snapped up.
  "Can you tell me what the mandrake potion is commonly used for?" He sneered
  "I-I don't know sir." She stammered
   "Pity. Five point from Ravenclaw.
  "Mr. Potter?" He asked, looking at James' raised hand
   "I'm not sure if this is the most common use but my dad said that in his second year they used the mandrake potion to bring several students out of a petrified state." James recalled
  "Correct on both counts. Five ten points to Gryffindore."
   He smiled at the class and said "This was to get a feel for what you know. Apparently, Professor Slughorn was as efficient last year as he was when I was in school. Class is dismissed."
    The students gathered their things and left the room.
    "Ugh!"James exclaimed "Herbology."
  "Saving death for last." Teddy sighed
  Herbology wasn't as bad as they thought it would be except for a Slytherin continuously threw wolfesbane at Teddy and called him a half-breed,causing James  to lose his temper.
    "LIVECORPUS!"James  yelled
   "Mr. Potter!" Neville yelled slightly amused  "Put him down this instant!"
   "Not until he apologizes to Teddy!" James yelled back hotly
   "I-I'm sorry!" The boy cried
  Lily let him down.
  "Class is dismissed." Neville said trying not to laugh "And Mr. Potter. Detention."
   James groaned and they headed up to Defense Against the dark arts.
    "Hello class." Harry said as the Gryffindores and Slytherins settled into their seats "I am as you know professor Potter."
   A student's hand shot up in the air.
  "Yes ms?" Harry asked
  "Grander and what exactly will we be learning this year?" She asked
  "I was getting to that." Harry chuckled "This year is the first year you will apply magic practically. You will learn the proper way to approach many magical creatures and how to properly cast a patronus."
   James gave a quiet snort and his father shot a glare in his direction.
   "Something to add James?" Harry snapped
   "Yes. Are you going to teach us any defensive spells?" James asked
   Harry glared at his son and James recoiled at the sight of Harry's eyes darkening. Bad choice of words.
   "Class dismissed." Harry growled "James stay. I need a word with you."
  A/N: Uh oh! Little James got a little to big for his britches didn't he? Let's hope Harry's temper has gotten better.
