After potions, with nothing eventful, we headed to Defense Against the Dark Arts. The teacher was a fairly young man named Mr.Lilac (So manly right?) He had a young face and just a few grey hairs that might be from stress.
Mr.Lilac was obviously not a fan of the Potter's at first sight. He made a humph sound and a face while calling out their names. Then when he called out my name he froze. I mean he literally was not moving and had a scary grin on his face.
Everyone turned to look at me. I just stared at him furrowing my eye brows. This dude is weird.
He started moving and calling names out when I moved my hand and put it on my desk.....that was odd.
Once he finished the role call he started talking about DADA, and I'm pretty sure he wasn't the best at it, "Defense Against the Dark Arts. We must learn this subject to prepare you for....well, I'm sure you know the things that happened in the past." He chuckled lightly while everyone stared, wide eyed. How dare he just throw such a war out there as though it was nothing. A lot of great people can't see today for what it is because of it! I felt tears prickling my eyes a bit at the thought of this. That jerk.
"Nether the less, I feel as though this subject may not even been needed any more....considering the way everything turned out. But yet it is mandatory from McGonagal that you do." He sighed. "So, pull out your books. Chop chop, quickly now. Read the first 2 chapters. We will go over them after everyone has finished." Most everyone slowly got out their books, still staring at him. The war is still a very touchy subject to most everyone, even people who weren't part of fighting it, or knowing the people personally who were lost.
I quickly looked down and started reading the same old boring stuff I already knew. I just briefly skimmed through it, and realized, like before I had known this stuff since I was young.
Bored, I decided to close the book and let my eyes wander....
"Ms. Malfoy, have you finished the chapters?" Mr.Lilac asked
"Yes sir." I said, not really wanting to call him sir....he is a jerk and we all know it now, and has a pretty big head, but apparently he has been teaching here for 3 or 4 years. How? I have no idea.
"Could you please tell me what they were based on."
I sighed," Sure thing..."He glared at me."Sir."
"The first chapter shows emphasis on the commonly known things, safety in the class room like no pointing wands at one another, no running around, all that jazz."
"The second emphasizes on common spells used as defense while in combat, such as Expelliarmus, which is for disarming and Protego, a shielding charm. Though I suspect we won't be learning those for quit a while." I said shrugging, " which is why it doesn't tell you how to cast it, just the names."
"Good, good." He said, grinning at me again, the creep.
He then sent us into groups to look about the book, just like we did last class.
Well, I don't like this class very much. Some teachers are so....weird. So so so so so weird.
We "searched" the books most of class, though most where talking about how strange the teacher was, even us.
"Okay class, time is almost over, I just wanted you to know that Mr.Harry Potter" He frowned at his name, "Will be coming now and then to join our classes, and teach us some things, as an auror, the school staff thought it would be brilliant to bring him to show you the ropes." He smiled at the end.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our class left talking about how weird Mr.Lilac was and about Harry Potter teaching at Hogwarts.
Rose and James were telling me they had no idea that he would be coming.
"My dad didn't tell us he was coming. I wander why not. A surprise I suppose." James commented
"Yeah, uncle Harry never even mentioned anything suspicious about it. Hmmm..."
"Well, it's exciting right! I mean I wish my dad could come help out. Though, a lot of people wouldn't take it that well." I chuckled lightly. " What?" I asked the two kids staring at me puzzled. "I love my dad, he is actually very nice, it's not his fault my grand parents did that....hmmm... It's been a while since I've seen them...."
I went into thought about why I haven't seen my grand parents, not that I necessarily wanted to, I love them and all, but they are very boring and they always have quiet arguments with my parents.
~~~~~~~~~~
We went down Charms-Transfiguration, which I later found out people like to just call CT, good enough for me.
On our way down I turned around to talk to Rose before I was pushed back so hard I fall to the ground...ouch.
I looked up to see what force had made me get a bruise on my bum.....it was my brother.
"Oh, sorry Vivian!" He exclaimed and helped me up.
"It's....it's fine...Scorpius." I said, startled. I didn't plan on talking to him quit yet...but you gotta do what you gotta do I suppose....
"So...Gryffindor." He commented looking at my tie.
"Yeah.......Slytherin." I said nodding towards his. And then we broke into a fit of laughter at our stupidity. Right then and there. Some people turned to look at us, and Rose and Albus just stood there, Rose looked confused but Albus was smiling.
"Hey, can I barrow -"
"my owl, sure." He said smiling at me.
"Guess I don't need to borrow your brother's owl." I told Albus.
"Okay." Was all he replied
"Wait, Scorp, you have CT with us right?"
"Yup." He said popping the P.
With that we headed off.
Thank God my brother doesn't hate me for being in Gryffindor, that was a scary thought...I guess maybe some people do understand why I am in Gryffindor, now it's my turn to know who I am.
