Y/n pov

You made it to your first DADA lesson. You sit beside Draco, behind you is Hermione and the row over beside Hermione is Harry and Ron.

You see Umbridge enter and she is wearing a shade of ungodly pink, you watch her movements carefully. She makes you run through the whole good morning class; she was already on your radar.

"Wands away quills out." Umbridge said.

Umbridge took out her rather short wand and tapped the blackboard with it and words began appearing.

DEFENSE AGAINST THE DARK ARTS
A return to basic principals.

"Well now, your teaching of this subject has been rather disrupted and fragmented, hasn't it?" Umbridge said with a kind smile. "The constant changing of teachers, many of whom that have not followed any ministry approved curriculum, has resulted in your learning being far below the standard we expect to see in your OWL year. You will be pleased to know, however, that these problems are now to be rectified." You didn't like where this was going. "We will be following a carefully structured, ministry approved course of defensive magic this year. Copy down the following please."

1. Understanding the principals of underlying defensive magic
2. Learning to recognise situations in which defensive magic can legally be used
3. Placing the use of defensive magic in a context for practical magic.

After everyone and finished writing it was finished Umbridge asked the class, "Does everyone have a copy of defensive magical theory by Wilbert Slinkhard?" A dull murmur went around the class. "I think we'll try that again. When I ask you a question, I should like you to reply 'yes, professor Umbridge' or 'no professor Umbridge'." She said. Your eyes didn't move from her. You hate the ministry. Dirty liars... Traitors like Lucius...Like Kathy. "Now, does everyone have a copy of defensive magical theory by Wilbert Slinkhard?"

A series of yes's rang through the class.

"Good. Now open up, turn to page five and read chapter one. There will be no need to talk." Umbridge said making you want to skip the year.

You did as you were told and as you began reading, you noticed it just barley scratched the surface, having skimmed your sister's books, you knew what we had to learn, and this was not it. The ministry was going to let everyone in this room die at the hands of Voldemort because of their teachings.
Within minutes Hermione hand shoots into the air.

"yes miss...?"

"Granger. Hermione granger." Hermione told her.

"Did you not understand something in the text miss granger?" Umbridge asked.

"Well no. It's just there's nothing here about using defensive spells." Hermione points out.

"Using defensive spells?" Umbridge almost laughed. "Well dear I can't think of any reason you'd need to be using defensive spells in my classroom." You stared at her your temper rising.

"Were not going to be using magic?" Ron asked.

"Students will raise their hands when they wish to speak in my class. Mr-?" Umbridge asked.

"Weasley." Ron said thrusting his hand in the air.

"It's the will of the ministry to teach you in a secure, risk-free way." She reassured even through you were just annoyed.

"What use is that-" Harry said loudly. "If we're going to be attacked it won't be risk free!"

"Hand! Mr. Potter." Harry put his fist in the air but Umbridge ignored him. So you put your hand up.
