Rated : T for now
"Good evening students," Albus Dumbledore said. "Before we let our minds be befuddled by this delicious feast, I have a few announcements to make. First of all, give a warm welcome to your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Professer Remus Lupin."
Most of the students stared in shock as Lupin stood up. General unenthusiastic cheers and some scattered clapping were heard throughout the hall.
"You're letting a werewolf teach us," Malfoy sneered. "Shouldn't he be in a cage?" Crabbe and Goyle snickered. Harry turned and glared at him in contempt. Malfoy smirked right back.
"And another announcement that I'm sure will shock and delight most of you. There will be no quidditch season this year. Instead, it will be once again replaced by the triwizard tournament. Which has been completely revised and changed due to the tragedy that occurred last time that the tournament was held." Around the hall, most of the students were staring at the Headmaster in shock. Dumbledore took no notice all but concluded his speech with "Dig in everybody."
Gradually the usual chatter broke out among the students as they finished processing what the Headmaster had said.
Harry stared down at his plate as if unable to comprehend why there was food sitting in front of him. "Well at least I won't have to enter," he muttered before picking up his fork.
Ron was watching him with curiosity. He tried to speak but alas his mouth was full to the exploding point. "Wassa ma'er 'Arry?" he slurred
While Harry was trying to decipher this, Hermione snapped at Ron. "What do you think Ron? The last time that the tournament was around Harry ended up watching Cedric Diggory die!" (A/N gasp)
"No you guys that 's not it," he said. A little too late, perhaps, as his two best friends started bickering. They completely ignored him. He gave up and continued eating.
Harry left the Great Hall early. (Ron and Hermione were still arguing) He wandered towards the general direction of the Gryffindor common room. A cackle came from above him.Harry looked up to see none other than Peeves
"Oh wee Potter thinks he's great
Having others lick his plate
But Peevsie knows better
And thinks he should be wetter""Go to hell Peeves," Harry yelled drawing his wand. The Poltergeist divebombed at him and dropped roughly half a dozen water balloons on his head and zoomed off before Harry could curse him.
"Potter!" a voice snapped from behind him. Harry slowly turned around with a feeling of dread in the pit of his stomach. Sure enough, Snape was standing behind him. "Twenty points from Gryffindor and Detention next Saturday at 8:30 am sharp!" Harry stormed up the stairs towards the Gryffindor common room.
"Password?" the Fat Lady demanded
"I don't have it yet", he muttered
"No password no access", she said.
Just then, a throng of students made their way up the stairs led by Ron and Hermione. "Unicorn Tail!"Hermione shouted before the fat lady could say anything.
Harry followed them in and made his way straight up to his bedroom. He changed and climbed into bed. He was asleep long before any of the other Gryffindors came up the stairs.
The next morning Harry got up and stumbled down into the Great Hall. He felt like he hadn't gotten a wink of sleep. Hermione handed him and Ron their timetables.
"Double potions with Snape and the Slytherins first thing? The world is cruel," Ron sighed
"But after lunch we have Care of Magical Creatures" Harry pointed out " I can't wait to see Hagrid"
"Welcome back " Snape said "As you all know, this year is NEWTS year. This means that I don't have to see any of your untalented faces next year. Today we will be making a complicated potion called the Draught of Peace. Instructions are on the board."
For the next two hours Harry worked hopelessly on his potion. In the end, it turned out blue instead of turquoise but at least he didn't blow up his cauldron. As soon as it was time to change classes, Harry hurried out of the dungeons to avoid getting caught by Snape and having yet more points taken away from Gryffindor.
"Welcome back everyone," Hagrid said "As you know this is Newts year so we will be studying even more fun animals." As if on cue most of the students gulped. "Well anyway today we will be studyin' Kapytras which is a brand new breed of magical creatures."
He tapped the boxes next to him. Immediately, something started to rock the box back and forth violently. Hagrid lifted the lid to pull out something that looked like a teddy bear.
"Awe," Pansy Parkinson said. No one else said anything for they were sure that there was more to this creature than met the eye.
"What does it do?" Hermione asked.
"Why it shoots lasers from its eyes!" Hagrid said with a chuckle "What else would it do?"
dum dum duummmmmmmmm!
