(Pause) Granddaughter of Voldemort

Chapter 10. DADA

Alice POV

I woke up after a night of nightmares (McGonagall put a charm so nobody could hear), ate breakfast, and now I am going to DADA. Or Defense Against the Dark Arts. With Professor di Angelo, or my uncle. I walk to the class with Neville and Luna because we all have this class right now. We walk in and sit at the front of the class because everyone took the other seats.

After a couple of minutes of waiting, Pro. di Angelo walks in the class.

"Good Morning class!", he was answered with a bunch of 'Hello' 'Good Mornings. But he kept on talking, "So I heard that you are well taught with Magic, am I correct?" We all nodded. "Well then this year, while I will be teaching. You will be learning how to fight with weapons that are not your wands." Everyone groaned. Except for me. I never used a wand before.

"But Professor. Why?" a very nosy Hermione Granger asked. Pro. di Angelo walked around the classroom.

"Let's say that you will be facing an opponent that you can't fight with a wand. And that opponent takes your wand away? What do you do?". 

I almost thought he said, 'Who do you call?" and I would answer 'GHOSTBUSTERS!'. But he didn't.

"We learn how to fight with swords!" a kid from the back yelled. The teacher rolled his eyes. 

"That is exactly what I meant. Now, who can explain to me what the Dark Arts are?". I looked around the classroom. Harry had a smirk on his face and raised his hand up.

"Yes Mr. Poop- uh I mean Potter?". I had to stifle a laugh. Because it was me and Ginny who drilled it into my uncles head about Harry Pooper. 

Anyway, this is what Harry said:
"The Dark Arts are Voldemort and Death Eaters. But they are all gone because I killed Voldemort last year." Harry boasted. Pro. di Angelo looked pretty surprised. Because Harry got it wrong, and here's the proof.

"Mr. Potter, I expected more from you! You are wrong!" Harry looked startled. I raised my hand, "Now let's see if Miss Jackson will help Mr. Potter with the answer!".

"The Dark Arts are things that want to hurt you, or others and use Dark Magic. For example, Voldemort and Death Eaters are supposedly Dark Arts.". This time is was Hermione's turn to have a shocked face.

"Correct Miss Jackson. That is why, this year you will be learning how to fight with weapons, like swords, daggers and bow with arrows.". A lot of nods were seen and some where heard, but I don't know how. "Who would like to go first against me?" he asked.

Harry stood up, probably wanting to get revenge for what my uncle said. "Mr. Potter? Would you like a match?" he nods in agreement. "Well then please take a weapon." The teacher says, pointing at the line of weapons on the wall. Harry takes the biggest, longest sword there is. While my uncle twists his ring and his Stygian Iron sword shows.

Harry POV

I decided to fight the teacher in a sword fight to get revenge for saying I was wrong. I took the biggest and longest sword knowing that I would win this fight, I mean, no one can beat me in a physical fight! I took the sword (which I could barely lift) and pointed it at the teacher. He just twisted his ring and a sword? A SWORD?? Showed up?? Weird stuff he has (hehehe... Yoda). We battled for (I wanted to say hours) 5 seconds then he disarmed me.

"You should be ashamed, Mr. Potter! Saying that you defeated Voldemort but couldn't beat me! A teacher! I will now show you what a real battle is like. Miss Jackson step up!". I couldn't believe it! He said I was bad and now that scum Death Eater is going to show what a 'real battle is'. Uh, she's probably going to lose in the first 2 seconds.

VN stands up and walks up to the front of the class. She then takes out a pen from her pocket. "Pff. What are you going to do with a pen?" I asked/smirked. She just glared at me and uncapped the pen, which then grew into a sword!? These people are weird.

"It isn't just any pen Pooper." She retorted. And the battle began.

I watched as they (the teacher and student) circled each other. After a couple moments, Pro. di Angelo took the first move. He slashed at VN. But she blocked the attack. Then she took the moment and slashed back. The teacher side-stepped. The battle was amazing. I forgot all my hatred towards Alice as I saw how she used her sword and how she blocked Pro. di Angelo's moves. The teacher was also pretty good. It was almost like dancing. But then Alice disarmed Pro. di Angelo and the battle was over. Everyone clapped, and I was astonished. She beat a teacher!? Then I saw a person come through the door which I haven't noticed earlier.

When he walked out, I noticed it was the new doctor called Will. All of the girls sighed dreamily. "Tut tut Alice, you should stop playing with the teacher and kick his *ss in 5 seconds! What took you so long?". What did he mean that she could beat the teacher in 5 seconds? And was he timing her? Suddenly all of my hatred for Alice came back.

"I just wanted to have some fuuuun Will! No one let's me have fun these days!" she wined like a child??? I do not understand this lesson anymore. I noticed that everyone else had a look of surprise as well.

"Well class, I'm sure you noticed we have a guest here. He will help with picking weapons. Now all of you saw the battle. By the end of the year you should know how to have a fight similar to this one. Now step right up and get your chosen weapon!"

When I walk up to get my weapon, I expected to get a big sword, kind of what VN had. (I started calling her Voldemort's Grandniece again), but I got a dagger. I sigh.

"Pair up and do a bit o disarming!" The teacher says. "If any of you get hurt go to the doctor!" and we start. I pair up with Ron while VN pairs up with Neville. She disarms him after a few seconds. It took Ron a couple minutes to disarm me, and I am pretty sad because of that.

The lesson is over.
