Catrina's POV.


It was Saturday, and today was the first sword fighting and archery class. I was kind of excited for it. Which was surprising to me because I didn't get excited for very many things. It was going to be held in the Great Hall, there was a lot more people coming then I had originally anticipated. I had to wait in the Great Hall before everyone else, I was teaching archery for the first hour then swords fighting for the last hour. So, I was in the Great Hall right now, setting everything up. Dumbledore had gotten everything I needed, like all the bows and arrows for everyone, the small bows to begin with then the medium sized bow's for a bit later, then finally the kind of bow I have, the experts bow, heavy and well design to it, for better grip of the body of the bow as well as the bowstring. So, it was large and kind of hard to handle, unless you were strong enough, and knew what you were doing and had practice before using it. That it the point of learning. When I first learned how to use a bow I used a very small one. Ares told me I had to start from the beginning then when my strengths grew then the size of the bow will grow. The bow I have is a magic bow, when I was ready it would grow on it's own, like my skills and strengths did. Same with these Bows, Dumbledore enchanted them to do that. I checked my watch, it was noon. Students started walking in and taking seats . After around 3 minutes everyone was here, and everyone was talking.

"Silence!" I yelled, everyone went silent, there attention being brought to me.

"If you truly wish to learn archery then stay, if all you want to do is talk and have no intentions in actually learning archery, then leave." I said. After being silent for a few seconds, allowing people to leave if they wanted, I saw that no one had left.

"Good, now everyone grab a bow and and five arrows, there are a few rules you must follow if you want to be here. One, don't under any circumstances, shot an arrow at anyone. two, if you fool around I will kick you out, and three, try your hardest. I give you each three strikes and if all three strikes are gone you are out.." I said, I heard whispering, I turned around and Malfoy stood there, laughing with his friends by the wall. I grabbed my bow and grabbed an arrow, I aimed at the wall about two inches away from him and shot. It scared him. Everyone was shocked.

"Malfoy, strike one. Two more strikes and you're out." I said, he looked at me like I was crazy.

"You could have hit me!" He said, He grabbed his bow and tried to shot an arrow at me but failed horribly.

"Missed me, now that's strike two, Malfoy." I said. Some people laughed.

"Now back to people who are clearly here to learn archery, it takes lots of practice and time to learn. One major thing you need to know is how to hold a bow..." I explained everything, how to hold a bow, with an arrow. they did some shoots at targets, I had to help some people but others were doing quite good. It was now one o'clock.

"Everyone put your bows away and grab a sword." I said, everyone did as told. For the sword fighting I taught everyone defense first, how to defend themselves in a sword fight, I was going to start actual fighting next week. It was fun to teach people what I have learned and perfected. Dumbledore was watching and he seemed interested in what was going on. I had more classes to teach tomorrow. I was teaching two different large groups because so much people ended up coming. 

...

I was back in mine and Hermione's dorm room right now. I was about to send and Iris message to Artemis and the hunters, when Hermione walked in.

"Hey Catrina, what are you doing?" She asked, I had a golden drachma in my hand and she was looking right at it. I smirked and met her eyes.

"I was just about to Iris message Artemis and the hunters." I said, her face lit up, but it faded quickly.
