The next the students were in their D.A.D.A classroom with Lockhart. The room had a big horizontal stage in the middle and all of the desks were moved

"Gather round! Gather round!" Called Lockhart. "Can everyone see me? Can you all hear me? Excellent. In light of the dark events of recent weeks, Professor Dumbledore has granted me permission to start this little Dueling Club, to train you all up in case you ever need to defend yourselves as I myself have done on countless occasions -- for full details, see my published works" he smiled. "Let me introduce my assistant Professor Snape. He has sportingly agreed to help me with a short demonstration. Now I don't want any of you youngsters to worry. You'll still have your Potions Master when I'm through with him, never fear!

"What's the fun in that?" Ron looked confused causing Y/n to chuckle

"As you can see, we are holding our wands in the accepted combative position. On the count of three, we will cast our first spells. Neither of us will be aiming to kill, of course" Lockhart instructed

"Unfortunately" Y/n muttered

"One... two... three!"

"Expelliarmus" Snape casted causing Lockhart to get knocked back and fall to the floor

"Do you think he's alright?" Asked Hermione

"Who cares?" The boys laughed

"Well, there you have it. That was a Disarming Charm. As you see, I've lost my wand" Lockhart says standing up. Hermione hands him his wand and he takes it smiling. "Ah, thank you, Miss Granger. Yes, an excellent idea to show them that, Professor Snape, but if you don't mind my saying so, it was very obvious what you were about to do. If I had wanted to stop you it would have been only too easy..." he laughs

"Perhaps it would be prudent to first teach the students to block unfriendly spells, Professor" Snape suggests unamused

"An excellent suggestion, Professor Snape. Let's have a volunteer pair. Potter, Weasley, how about you?" He points to Ron

"Weasley's wand causes devastation with the simplest spells. We'll be sending Potter to the hospital wing in a matchbox. Might I suggest someone from my own house. Malfoy, perhaps" Snape calls Draco to the stage were he meets Harry across

"Scared, Potter?" He smirks

"You wish" he retorts

"Wands at the ready! When I count to three, cast your charms to disarm your opponent; only to disarm. We don't want any accidents. One, two-" Lockhart is cut off by Harry casting the first spell

"Rictusempra"

"I said disarm spells only!"

Draco is knocked down but is lifted up by Snape and pushed back into the fight

"Serpentsortia" he casts causing a long black snake to come out of his wand

The snake begins to move its head and stops when it reaches Y/n. The snake and Y/n lock eyes as if almost in a trance like state. Y/n moves his head and so does the snake. It begins to move forward until Harry speaks in a weird language. Snape takes this opportunity to blast the snake and  everyone turns to Harry

"Just what are you playing at?" A boy asks

The club meet had ended and the four were in the Gryffindor common house. Much to Percy's dismay, he allowed Y/n to visit from time to time

"You're a Parselmouth? Why didn't you tell us!?" Ron exclaims

"I'm a what?" Harry raises a brow

"You can talk to snakes" Hermione explains

"I know. I mean, I accidentally set a python on my cousin Dudley at the zoo once. But so what? I bet loads of people here can do it"
