Sticky notes and empty pens

Chapter 14.

Keith's Pov.

After transfiguration we continued the day by going to our next class, which in this case is defence against the dark arts.

For once I'm actually excited. I'm finally going to be doing something I'm good at. Also, Shiro teaches this class so that's good too.

"Alright everybody! Take your seats, pull out your books, quills and wands! If you're in the correct class you should be having defence against the dark arts today." Shiro started out once he walked into the classroom, his red robes tracing behind him at the speed he walked into the room with.

He waved his wand bringing some of the panels located in front of the windows to a close, the bright sun being blocked now so it wouldn't be as disruptive. Every student slowly took their seats as they continued their conversations, eventually taking out their stuff and placing it on their desks.

My seat was next to Pidge, the both of us had already set up our stuff and got comfortable in our seats before Shiro had even walked in.

"So today we're going to be talking about a disarming spell called," he turned around to the board, lifting the chalk without actually touching it before making it write down the word,"Expelliarmus."

"So I know most of you have already heard of this spell, some of you are even already able to perform it. But this spell is extremely important to concur for a young witch or wizard like yourselves." He explained to us. I could see some people writing down some notes as he continued talking.

"What this spell does is that it forces your opponents wand or whatever they're holding, out of his or her hands, effectively incapacitating them. If you are standing close enough to your target this spell can also sometimes be used to send the target flying, from time to time even causing them to become unconscious."

"Cool." A few whispers were heard around the room.

I lightly shrugged at the comment unconsciously, yeah I guess it is cool but I think it's more important if the spell is actually capable of protecting you.

"Okay so right here I have a wooden dummy." Shiro said as he walked over to it, placing a hand on its shoulder before he continued talking. "As you can see it's holding its wand like your opponent would and what I hope to teach you today, obviously, is how to successfully perform this spell, knocking the wand from its hands." More excited whispers filled the room.

My hand found it's way under my chin before I leaned down onto it. My right hand stroking Blythe's back as he laid on my table silently, probably sleeping. Shiro continued showing everyone how to perform the spell as I continued to drift off slightly.

The reason I'm not paying attention is because I already know how to perform this spell, so I'm not interested in hearing all of this again. I've known how to perform this spell for as long as I can remember since its probably the first spell I was ever taught by my dad.

My eyes faltered down to the table, my jaws clenching ever so slightly. Shiro's voice faded out as the voices in my head overpowered it.

"Why'd you stop?" A grumble escaped Blythe's snout at the stop of my fingers running along his spine.

This shook me from my thoughts,"Sorry, just thinking." I chuckled out silently before continuing.

"Keith, is my class not interesting enough for you?" Shiro spoke up, a light grin displayed across his face.

"Oh no, that's not it. But as you should know I already know half of the stuff you teach here, because you've taught me yourself." I said.

A light huff escaped Shiro's lips as he smiled.
