Harry, Hermione and Ron walked out of their herbology class groaning ''why does everything have to be so hard'' harry said ''I hate these stupid owls''.
''I know what you mean about it being hard but you need an education so suck it up and get moving'' Hermione said and started to steer them towards the DADA classroom ''so do you think the new teacher will be ok'' Ron questioned to which harry just shrugged, ''I don't know I mean he does look pretty young but I'm sure it will be fine'' Hermione replied and pulled up short when she saw the slytherins heading their way instead of going into the classroom.
Malfoy was at the head of the group grinning like a mad man ''so potter, telling anymore lies lately'' he sneered and harry gritted his teeth then opened his mouth to answer but Hermione cut him off ''unlike you Malfoy harry doesn't lie about things like this'' she stated matter of factly, Malfoy just glared at her and turned back to harry ''so I see you brought back your little pet mud blood be careful she doesn't have flea's'' he said and his lackeys started laughing while Hermione stated to turn red with what looked like anger and trying to suppress her tears.
''you can't speak to her like that you sniveling, slimy little git you better take that back right now'' Ron roared ''you know I don't think I will it kind of suits her'' he replied then started laughing again
Ron by this point looked downright murderous and moved forward as if to punch Malfoy but was stopped by a quiet yet powerful voice ''what is going on here'', Ron whipped his head around only just now noticing the spectators and turned his attention to the teacher in front of him.
Merlin pov:
Merlin was sat on the desk reading a book when he heard the door open, he looked up from the book to see many people entering his classroom must be the fifth years he thought then hopped off his desk to take the front of the class.
Merlin watched as they began to fill their seats hmmm he thought no harry, Ron or Hermione, must be running late he thought then smiled at the people around him ''hi erm my names Mr. emrys but-'' merlin began but was cut off from a sound out in the hall.
Merlin stepped outside followed by nearly the whole class and came face to face with a furious Ron, impassive harry, red faced Hermione and 3 grinning slytherins he took in the situation quickly seeing that one of them had started something that was beginning to escalate most likely the slytherins he thought but was snapped out of his musings by an angry voice ''you can't speak to her like that you sniveling, slimy little git you better take that back right now'' Ron shouted looking as if he was about to deck someone but all he received in reply was a sly smile from a platinum blonde haired boy (who he now recognized as Draco Malfoy) and quick retort of ''you know I don't think I will it kind of suits her'' this was followed by a bout of laughter from the slytherins, now merlin hadn't heard what had been said to Hermione but by the looks on all 3 of their faces it hadn't been good.
Merlin saw Ron step forward fists clenched looking for a fight and decided to intervene before things could escalate further ''what is going on here'' he questioned in a voice that was quiet and calm but showed a powerful side, he watched as Ron whipped his head around anger forgotten, mouth gaping like a fish seemingly unable to give an answer and shook his head ''actually you know what, instead why don't all of you stay with me after class for a little chat'' he fixed them all with a steely glare and even Malfoy looked unnerved ''now get into the classroom right now'' he said his voice deadly calm.
He sighed as he entered the classroom he had been off to such a good start, when he heard the scraping of chairs he turned to face the class again his easy good natured smile back on his face ''ok as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted'' he shot a quick look at the 6 students ''my name is Mr. emrys but you can call me mryddin if you like'' he was again cut off from a snort that resonated from around the center of the classroom ''problem Mr. Malfoy'' merlin questioned annoyance coloring his tone he had gotten sick of being interrupted.
''yes actually'' Malfoy said ''I was just wondering how we ended up with a pansy as our teacher who just wants to be our friend'' then he snorted again and merlin who had had enough of interruptions said ''I would have you know Mr. Malfoy I am no pansy as you so eloquently put it I was simply stating a fact and I would like you to remember one vital piece of information I may not look like much but trust me don't test me, and just because you were named after dragons Mr. Malfoy doesn't mean you live up to it'' he replied with power washing over his words and a tense silence in the room ''oh'' he said almost forgetting ''and 20 points from slytherin for disrespect'' then he grinned and the tense atmosphere evaporated almost as quick as it had come ''now'' he began but was almost immediately cut off by the bell signaling the end of the lesson, and he groaned great he thought their first class with me and they haven't learnt a thing he snapped out of his musings when he saw the room had been emptied apart from the 6 kids that had been out in the hall.
He groaned mentally he had forgotten he had told them to stay behind, now he thought what am I going to do about these bunch of teenagers.
