~Euphoria~

Ron and Hermione found Harry in the Room of Requirements after a quick stop in the common room.

"What are you doing," asked Ron. Harry had conjured up a boxing room and was in the process of punching one of the heavy bags. Harry jumped to the sound of his friends.

"Trying to calm down in a way that won't cause injury to myself," responded Harry." It's been easier to control my anger since the part of Voldemort that was inside me was removed. But still…Why didn't I think of that. Voldemort. Of course he's still alive. I just got rid of him." Harry turned away from the bunching bag and plopped down onto a couch that the room created for him. "I don't want to deal with this."

"Harry we won't have to. You know Voldemort won't attack the school. The battle was the first time in history anyone had ever tried to attack the school. Just don't think about him ok. We can't interfere. You know how time travel works," Hermione said sitting down on the couch next to Harry.

"I know your right, but Voldemort was finally out of my life and now he's here back in my life," Harry complained.

"You'll get through this, you always do," said Ron, "But we should maybe think about going back before everyone thinks your mental."

"Good morning sunshines!" was the sound which Harry woke to the next morning. To his surprise it was the voice of Sirius who was a known late riser. He rolled out of bed not wanting to get up. He had gone to bed early but it had taken many hours until he fell asleep. Thoughts of Voldemort had filled his mind.

The boys left the dorm room and made their way down to breakfast. The girls had already gone down to eat. Harry sat down next to Ginny. He was tired but happy. When they had returned to the common room it was a bit awkward. Apparently had given an explanation for his odd behavior, which was he and Voldemort had some history and it would be best not to mention it to Harry. Everything didn't go back to normal immediately but when Ron suggested a game of Exploding Snaps the awkwardness diapered.

"What made you wake up so early," asked Hermione as Sirius stuffed his face with ham.

"Defense class today! I love defense, only class I pay attention in," Sirius smiled. "And I wanted some food." Remus rolled his eyes.

Harry smiled, it was nice seeing Sirius care free and happy. He never got to truly experience this side of Sirius when he was alive. He was excited about having Defense today. If the rumors were true Auror trainees would be taking turns teaching the students. The Auror's had decided that doing this would help their trainees practice simple old defensive skills. There were also rumors that the famous Moody might stop by a few classes. Harry was hoping this was true. It would be nice to see the man before earned the name Harry knows him for, "Mad-eye Moody."

The group left early from lunch but they still were not the first to arrive to class. Everyone found a seat with Harry sitting next to Remus. It took sometime but finally class was starting.

"Welcome, to your last year of Defense Against the Dark Arts, which also means you will have your N.E.W.T examinations this year. I will assume that you have already heard a speech about N.E.W.T.s and so I will not bother with that and instead go straight into the lesson," said the man who was standing in front of the class. He had one hand in his pocket and the other he was gesturing with. He was rather young and fit with a dark complexion. Harry couldn't place it but he seemed oddly familiar. Then again everyone here looked slightly familiar.

"My name is Professor Swal and I will be your main teacher this year. I have been sidelined by the Aurors because my wand hand has become dysfunctional." He pulled his right hand out of his pockets and removed the glove that covered it and revealed a crystallized hand. A collection of gasps traveled around the room. Professor Swal smiled he had gotten the reaction he had hoped for.

"Defense is the most important class you will take this year," he continued walking in between the desks. "I hope you are all aware that we are at war with an incredibly dangerous man and his followers. It is vital that you learn how to defend yourself this year because next year you will not have these nice walls to protect you.

"Dumbledore has decided that there will be an optional Defense class on Monday s for those who wish to improve on their skills. I highly encourage you to attend these classes. We will start with the basics. I would like to see how far a long each one of you are and it is always surprising to see how poorly people do with the simplest of spells. Now can anyone tell me what the simplest spell to disarm is?" Naturally Hermione's hand was up in a flash but so were Ron and Neville's. "Enthusiastic are we. Well how about the nice young lady, please tell me your name also."

"Hermione Granger, and that would be the Expeliarmus charm. It is simple yet powerful and can easily disarm your opponent."

"Excellent, excellent 5 points to Gryffindor. Now is there anyone here who would like to demonstrate this skill as I cannot cast a spell, yet?" asked the professor.

"Harry does!" exclaimed Ron excitedly turning his head and smiled at him.

Harry glared back, "No he does not."

"Let's see what you can do. Harry, was it?" said the professor, "You can disarm your dear old friend who so kindly volunteered you." Harry sighed and got up. The Swal motioned for the boys to come to the front of the class room.

"I really hate you Ron." Harry said as he took his position in front of the class.

"Why we all know you can do this spell," was Ron's response. Harry just glared.

"On the count of three you will try to disarm your friend," Ron readied himself while Harry continued to glare. "One, two, three." At the sound of three Harry whipped out his wand and disarmed Ron, he grabbed it tossed it back to Ron in a matter of seconds. He was walking back to his seat before anyone had registered what had happened.

"Impressive Mr?"

"Granger…but call me Harry to confusing with two Grangers in the room." Replied Harry and the professor nodded.

"I must say you have amazing agility. 5 more points to Gryffindor. I was wondering though if you could slow it down for the rest of the class could see it?" asked the professor. Harry sighed but went back up to the front of the room.

"Expeliarmus," cried Harry again but much slower then before. Again the jest of light left his wand and hit Ron's which flew out of Ron's hand and into Harry's.

"Excilent, did everyone see how Harry moved his wrist to perform a perfect disarming spell? I would like everyone now to brake off into groups and let's see how well you do," the professor said clapping his hands to emphasize his point. However, the student's didn't seem to like this idea.

"Come on professor we can all do that spell. We learned it in first year," complained Sirius.

"Well then the faster we can move on to more complex spells, but first you must prove to me that you can do these simple skills. The more you complain the longer we will spend time on disarming. Now get to it." There was still some grumbling and people dragged their feet to get ready. Professor Swal clapped his hands again and the desks disappeared. Ginny decided that she would be Harry's partner and they took turns disarming each other.

"Kind of funny the first thing he teaches us is the spell you first taught the DA," Ginny smiled as she tossed Harry's wand back to him.

"I guess. I think this guy might be a good teacher. It is our last year it's important to go over the basics make sure we know things," said Harry.

"Well I'm glad there is someone here who appreciates my teaching methods. You two seem to be having no problems with this spell though. Most of your fellow students are having difficulties disarming people. I figured I was taking a gamble teaching a simple spell for my first lesson but I see it has paid off. How did you become so good at Expeliarmus?" Swal said as he came up to the two practicing.

"Harry taught me," smiled Ginny.

"Really, then he must be a good teacher," smiled Professor Swal, "Well if you excuse me I have to do my job and teach those two how to properly cast the spell."

Ginny and Harry continued disarming each other for a few more minutes until Professor Swal asked them to stop.

"Excilant, now that most of you can easily disarm your opponent we are going to block them. What is a simple spell that blocks unfriendly spells?" asked the professor. James and Sirius had their hands up in no time. "This must be Mr. Potter and Mr. Black I have been told much about you two."

"All bad I hope!" Sirius exclaimed happily, "Portego would be the spell to block unfriendly spells."

"Exaxtly, the Gryffindors are on a role come on Huffelpuff. 5 more points to Gryffindor. Mr. Potter and Mr. Clack would you like to show the class how to do this?" The two nodded and turned to each other.

Sirius shot an Expeliarmus spell at James. The little red light bounced off the shield that James made.

"Perfect articulation of the spell Sirius. Samething as before pair up and try to block your partners disarming spell."

Harry turned to Ginny and smilled. She immediately cast a disarming spell which Harry blocked with ease and sent a disarming spell immediately after giving Ginny no time to defend herself. Ginny glared at Harry as he tossed back her wand, he chuckled. Once the wand was back in her hand she sent another disarming spell which Harry doges and casts Expeliarmus at Ginny as he moves away, again easily disarming Ginny.

"Harry! Give me a chance," Ginny whinned but Harry just grinned.

"Let me think…No!" he said . Ginny turning red snarled at him.

"Expeliarmus," cried Ginny not expecting it to dirsarm Harry which it didn't. Harry blocked it and began to cast Expeliarmus. As soon as the words began to form on Harry's lipps she yelled, "Portego!"

Harry was flung back into Ron who was bust casting Expeliarmus spells at Hermione.

"What the…" Ron yelled as he was pushed into the floor.

"Sorry Ron," said Ginny as Harry got off Ron and brushed down his pants.

"What's going on here we are not attacking each other but defending ourselves!" exclaimed Proffesor Swal looking back and forth between Harry and Ginny.

"That would be Ginny's shield charm when she's angry or frustrated," responded Harry. Proffesor Swal looked stunned.

"That, that is extremely impressive Ms…Ms…"

"Uh…Wise," Ginny said having to think of the stupid last name Ron had given them.

"Ms. Wise you must be a very powerful witch. Carry on class some people have yet to succed blocking each other, and lets try not to throw our partners across the room," said Proffesor Swal as he walked away from Harry and Ginny.

When class ended everyone was assigned to write down all the defensive spells they know and weather they can perform them or not. This was to be turned in for their next lesson.

It was now lunch time and everyone moved down to the Great Hall.

"I still say that was the useless lesson," complained Sirius when they sat down for lunch. "When am I going to use Expeliarmus?"

"You would be surprised by how useful that spell can be," responded Harry before looking down at his plate.

"More effective than stunning you opponents?" asked Sirius.

"Maybe," was Harry's short response.

"We'll probably start stunning next class perios so just drop it," Lily told Sirius, "Class will go faster once our teacher knows what skills we have."

"Fine," he turned his head and struck up a conversation with Ginny.

"So, Harry," asked James, "How did you learn to be so quick with you wand?"

"Lots and lots of practice," Harry responded. "How did you end up as Head Boy? From what I hear you have a reputation to uphold?"

"I'm not sure how. We all thought it was going to be Mooney. Mooney thinks that Dumbledore made me Head Boy in hopes that the pranking would go down," responded James.

"Like that will ever happen," scoffed Lily, "You boys are so immature. You will never grow up."

"Now that's uncalled for. I'm plenty mature. I just think that we should enjoy life and pranking people is a great way to do it," James said defending himself.

"As long as people aren't getting hurt pranks are a great thing. It's good to keep people laughing. Especially during grave times like this," came the voice of the most famous Headmasters of all time.

"Professor Dumbledore, sir," came James's shocked voice.

"Mr. Potter, Ms. Evans," Dumbledore nodded his head towards the two. "Mr. Granger, I was wondering if I could have a word with you and your friends once you are done with class today, after dinner would be excellent."

"Of course, Professor Dumbledore," said Harry.

"Good I will see you then. Now I think it would be best for you all to go to class," with that the old man walked off.

"Oh, yes, time to go to potions," said Lily grabbing her things. This prompted everyone else around them to stand up also to make their way to their next class. The group of Gryffindors made their way down towards the dungeons where potion class is held.

"A word of warning don't impress Slughorn or else you'll be pulled into his stupid club," said Sirius.

"The Slug Club is not that bad," Lily says. "It can be very beneficial to those of us who don't already have a place in the Wizarding world. He has great connections."

"Oh, before I forget. Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Luna, and Neville, Dumbledore wants to see us after dinner today," Harry informed the rest of the group.

"Why does he want to see you guys?" asks Alice.

"Probably to finalize our move to this school," responded Hermione. The group walked into the potions room to find the Slytherins already set up.

"Great another year with Slytherin's in our potions class. Will they ever learn that we do not mix well? Especially with Snape and Potter's rivalry," complained Lily. The group paired off. To Lily's great displeasure she got stuck with James because Alice decided she was going to sit with Neville. Luna and Ginny decided to sit together and Ron and Hermione paired off. That left Sirius, Lupin, Harry, and Peter and with Harry's luck he ended up with Peter.

"I am so happy to see all of you smiling faces on your first day of your last year in positions class," the familiar voice of Slughorn came, "I would like for everyone to turn to your partner first though I am sure you know him or her this is the person you will be working with for the rest of the year. So make friends and then we'll get started."

"Hi, I'm Peter. We've haven't really got a chance to talk because I suck at school and can't stay in the NEWT level classes," Peter says holding out his hand towards Harry. Harry hesitated for a bit but figured the best way to stay friends with his father was not to reject the Rats hand.

"Harry," was all he could bare to say until he turned around to look at the professor and wait for the class to officially start.

"Today we are going to start much like we started last year but hopefully these potions might be a bit harder to recognize. If you get it correct you may have a sip. There is a little hint to all of you, these potions are not dangerous," continued Slughorn. "Well here goes nothing." With that Slughorn removed the cover of the potion.

Harry was euphoric, he had correctly named one of the potions after recognizing it as the one he had brewed for Slughorn the day Hermione and Ron had taken their apparition test. Class had just ended and he could not remove the grin off of his face.

"Life is wonderful isn't it guys. Everyone is alive this is wonderful. Everything is wonderful," Harry said dancing around the group of Gryffindors. He grabbed Ginny around the waist and gave her a quick kiss.

"Ah, man, she's already taken. Oh, well there are more lovely fish in the ocean," Sirius said dropping back to where Luna was walking.

"Yes everything is wonderful," Ginny said when Harry released her lips.

"I'm here with my bestest buds," Harry continued grinning, "Life could not get more wonderful." He claimed as he walked into the dining hall. "Drumsticks! Life has just become ten folds better." He dived into his seat and began to pile food onto his plate.

"I do not want to see Harry drunk," was Hermione's response to Harry's euphoria.

"I find it rather amusing," Ron said sitting across from Harry, "Never seen him so happy."

"I wonder if you crash. You know like when you have a sugar rush and then you crash. Do you think he's going to crash and go into depression? " asked Ginny, everyone shrugged.

"So how are you guys enjoying classes here at Hogwarts," asked Lily, "It must be very different from being homeschooled?" Harry had quickly become very boring to watch. He was at the moment giggling about the fact that his gravy had poured into the shape of a hippogriff. How that had happened no one knew.

"Probably the only difference is the fact that we have classmates and get points for a group of people when we get an answer right," responded Hermione, "Now that I think about it that's a big difference."

"Do you guys like the teachers?" Alice asked the group.

"Swal seems interesting and Slughorn has a very interesting way of teaching. He seems very…well he seems to want to be your friend more than your teacher but that's fine." Hermione said after taking a sip of her pumpkin juice.

With a mouth full of food Ron added, "The food is a whole bunch better here than at home."

They continued to discuss the greatness of Hogwarts as Harry started singing Hogwarts' school song. The group started to hope that Harry's euphoria would disappear soon because it was getting a bit annoying. Before long the time travelers were on their way to see Dumbledore.

"I love Dumbledore. He is such a smart man," Harry said as he bounced down the hall with the rest of them. The group rolled their eyes and stopped in front of the gargoyle.

"Acid pops?" asked Ginny but nothing happened.

"Don't be silly, acid pops, really? Lemon Drops!" Harry cried and sure enough the gargoyle moved. Harry bolted up the stairs with the rest of them following him. When they entered the room they found a very shocked Dumbledore and Harry hugging him. "I'm so happy I get to see you alive again," Harry cried, "There is so much I want to discuss with you."

Hermione gasped, "HARRY!"

"No worries Ms. Granger. My memory will be erased when you leave," Dumbledore seemed to take the news of his death quite lightly. He pushed Harry away from him gingerly and sat down. The rest of the group found themselves a comfortable spot to sit or stand. "This is why I asked you to my office, though I regret to hear that I will die. I would like it if we could keep constant communication between each other so we can a good idea when you will be leaving. This way I coordinate a way to wipe you all from everyone's memory. I also need some of your hair or toenails for the potion so if I could collect that now it would be excellent." Everyone nodded except for Harry who groaned and slid to the floor from where he was standing.

"I think you answer will be crash, Ginny," answered Hermione as they all turned to Harry who had his head in his hands.

"It is best if we just leave him there for now," Dumbledore said passing around a container for bits of hair and toenails from the time travelers. "That is all for now then I suggest you all go back to your common room." They all stood up including Harry.

"You guys go ahead, I want to talk to Dumbledore," said Harry and the rest smiled at him. Harry turned and looked at Dumbledore. "Sorry about that. If it's in any consolation you were buried on Hogwarts grounds."

"Yes, I guess it is but my death is something we should not discuss. What do you wish to talk to me about young Potter," asked Dumbledore.

"Well, you see in my time I was in a way your favorite pupil but I realized after your death you knew so much about me, we only ever discussed me and I do not know anything about you. I was hoping I could get to know you better. Now is my chance, I wish I had taken it in my time but you dying was never a thought that crossed my mind." Dumbledore looked positively shocked.

"I have a favorite student?" was Dumbledore's first response.

"Well, that is what people tell me. You never said it but it was kind of obvious."

"I guess we could talk but not now. It is late and you have to head back to your dormitory."

"Thank you, Professor." Harry said before he ran off to join his friends.

Hope y'all enjoyed =D. I'm really going to try and write more xD but we will have to see. Please review the chapters come faster when you do =D.
