I walked to my Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and saw an open seat next to Hermione, so I took it.

There was a professor I recognized up front, he'd been to my house before. His name was Lupin.

I sat down and locked eyes with him, and he smiled. "A Priest? In my class? Must be a lucky day."

I smiled, "I believe you have Ethan as well, Sir."

"Your brother was always an exceptional offense, I wonder how you'll do in this course."

I nodded, "Me too, Sir."

When everyone was seated he introduced himself, "Hello, my name is Professor Lupin, and this is Defense Against the Dark Arts, a class dedicated to arming you to handle yourself. Now, I know you've taken this class twice before, but this year is different. I will be immersing you the experience, you will truly be fighting demons, per say."

He looked around the class and smiled, "I see a Priest, a Malfoy, a Weasley, and a Potter, all in one class. This should be interesting." I chuckled.

"Now, let us begin with some pop quiz questions, test your knowledge and such sort, any volunteers?"

Hermione and I both raised our hands, but he picked her. "What is the name of a violent, greek creature with the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a dragon?"

"A chimera, Sir."

"Correct! Very good Miss Granger, Miss Priest, would you like a question?"

"Yes, Professor."

"Where are Oni creatures native too?"

I had to think for a moment, "Oh, Japan."

"That's correct!"

He went about this for a while longer, before dismissing us.

"Y/N Priest? Do you mind waiting a moment?"

I looked to Hermione, "I'll meet up with you later."

After the class cleared out, he looked at me.

"You know, I went to school with your mother and father. You are just like your father, Ravenclaw, smart, and cunning as hell."

"I never knew him, Sir."

"I know, and I know what happened to him. So I know what your mom has taught you."

"Is this... did McGonagall talk to you?"

"No, but it's obvious you'd know transfiguration. Your family is funny with your white animals though, so it's easy to spot you. No, though, I'm referring to her magic itself. Her spells. I'm curious about them."

"Her spells can be highly experimental, you know, so we don't use them much."

He leaned on his table, "Do you remember when you were about ten years old, I came over to your house and your mother and I went out to the woods and didn't come back for a day or two?"

"Vaguely, Sir. I remember you."

"She tried preforming a spell that night, to help a friend of mine. It's a transfiguration spell of sorts. It's to help a werewolf transform into a animagus. Did she teach it to you?" She had, roughly.

"I know the basics of a spell like that from her arsenal, but I'm not confident I could preform it without practice." He nodded.

"If you can pull this spell off, I will be indebted to you, personally."

I nodded, "It's a two person spell, I'll have to discuss with Ethan, I can do so tonight. But, who is the werewolf? I promise I'm not discriminating against them, I just need to know for the spell."
