Chapter 10: DADA

My first day was going as well as I could hope, I was getting quite a few stares in the hallway and classes, most staring at my scar on my cheek. I had a sense of pride when we were in transfiguration with Minnie gave Malfoy a detention for being careless as he couldn't practice his spells because his wand had 'mysteriously' gone missing. I had laughed out right and Malfoy had given me a glare, I knew that I had better watch my back. I would have to thank Fred later for breaking his wand...unfortunately, I believe Crabbe, Goyle and Malfoy had all gotten away before Filch could catch them. That was a bummer! Potions was another story altogether...Snape hated me with a passion. It was quite obvious that he knew exactly who I was... thankfully, I didn't receive a detention from him on my very first lesson. That was Harry who had received the detention... he had gone off completely at Snape. I could tell something was wrong with my god-cousin. He was so tense and fidgety. I knew that Hermonie and Ron could see it to. Thankfully, in my break Hermonie had filled me in on what happened last year at the triwizard tournament. I tried to act surprised but I knew all the details about that night. When Voldermort had come to see me when he returned he had given me a complete run through of the events, even pushing me into the memory. It was completely terrifying seeing my god-cousin in that amount of pain. I had also made a new friend, Luna Lovegood, many called her loony but I just believe that she has a different outlook on the world compared to others. She was in Ginny's year however, she was in Ravenclaw.

My first day was going pretty well, I would say compared to Fred's. He had received a detention from Snape when he had potions as Harry had told him that Snape was out to get me. I whacked Fred over the head when George told me that he had purposely blown up his potion when Snape was next to him. I didn't talk to Harry and Fred for the rest of lunch because I was that annoyed.

Unfortunately, my first day wasn't meant to end well. Since I had Defence against the Dark Arts last with the Slytherin's. I don't understand why they put the Gryffindor and Slytherin's together in so many classes...did they want us to kill each other.

I walk into DADA and groan as I see the toad sitting up at the teachers table. She was sitting on what looked like a throne, I stifle a groan as I see her eyes sort out my own. She glares at me obviously annoyed and I return the glare with one of my own and she smiles sickly sweet.

I go to put my books down on the table beside Hermonie as Ron and Harry had already bagsed the one behind us in the last row.

"Hem-Hem." I look up, not trying to hide my annoyance.

"Miss Anderson." She draws out the Anderson obviously believing that it wasn't my last name.

"Yes?" I ask standing up, so that I looked down at her, even I was considered short and I was still taller than her.

"Yes Professor!" She corrects angrily, and her eyes flash dangerously.

"What?" I ask rudely.

Hermonie groans from behind me and I hear Harry and Ron's scrap of chairs as they stand.

"Detention Miss Anderson, my office tonight at 7 o'clock. You should really learn to be polite to teachers or it will get you into trouble." She says sweetly. I knew that she had wanted to give me a detention as soon as she walked up.

"Is there anything else you would like to say to me, Misss?" I drawl, unaffected by the detention.

"Your seat is up the front." She says sweetly, turning around and pointing at the chair beside the one and only Draco Malfoy.

I stiffen and swear mentally, "Yes Miss. Of course Miss. Anything you say Miss." I sneer sarcastically, grabbing my books off the table, giving Hermonie, Ron and Harry a shrug, saying 'what can you do', I push past Professor Toad and saunter towards Malfoy. I slam my books down on the table, making him jump. I smile slyly and say, "Is the wee little ferret scared? Oh Boo Hoo!"

He growls at me and stands up in his chair and I thank Ron mentally for telling me about Mad-Eye's ways of punishing students, "I'm not that one who should be scared." He threatens.

I whip my wand out of my pocket and point it at Malfoy, "Actually, Ferret." I snarl menacingly, "I think you should be as you see, I have a wand and you, unfortunately, don't."

"Expelliarmus." I hear a sweet voice shout.

I turn around, towards Professor Toad, and shout, "Protego." My shield erupts in front of me and slams the toad into the opposite wall.

"Shit." I murmur, as I see Professor Toad slide down the wall.

She looks at me murderously, now everyone knows how Kane Toads are deadly well this Kane toad looked absolutely murderous.

"Miss Anderson, assaulting now just a teacher but also a student, I believe you should come to my office straight away for your detention." I grimace, as she stands shakily up, announcing my fate where I would be killed...kidding, if she tried I'd get her back.

"Miss, it's not my fault that you couldn't catch me off guard, maybe I should teach this class from now on." I hear many intakes of breath and the Toad strides towards me, pointing her wand at my chest, she shouts, "Class dismissed." Many hastily ran out of the class room, their books forgotten but I see Harry, Ron, Hermonie and Neville still standing there not moving.

"Get out." Professor Toad seethes angrily.

"Go!" I murmur, looking at Harry. I could tell that he didn't want to. That he wouldn't leave my side. I look at Hermonie and Ron pleadingly, Ron grabs Harry and yanks him forcefully through the door whilst Hermonie grabbed Neville and pulled him through the door. I sigh gratefully as the large oak doors close with a bang.

I quickly raise my wand and utter the locking incantation in my head and I sigh again as the lock clicks into place. I turn back to Umbridge, my hand tightly holding my wand.

She looks at me calculating, "Tut-Tut. What have we got here?" She says shaking her head, holding her hand out in a give me gesture.

I growl angered, she didn't really think that I would give her my wand.

"Miss Anderson." She says angrily, "If you do not give me your wand. You will be expelled."

"Excuse me interrupting Professor Umbridge." I turn towards the door, where Dumbledore stood with Minnie beside him. Minnie was fuming and she was looking straight at me, I grimace knowing that I was about to get a talking to.

"Professor Dumbledore, what are you doing here?" Umbridge asks bristly visibly. I smirk evilly at her and her eyes narrow into slits.

"I was just wandering along the halls when I saw many students running towards their common's. I merely came to investigate." Dumbledore says simply, I knew that someone must have gone to Minnie and she would of gone to Dumbledore. I roll my eyes at him at his obvious lie, his gaze turn to me and I grimace seeing the barely suppressed anger behind his gaze.

"Well, Miss Anderson was just about to take her detention." The Toad says snidely her arm finding a tight grip on my arm. I shiver remembering the many times that I had been touched like this, like I was owned by them. My anger was boiling through my veins and I growl quietly.

"Actually, Professor. I am needing to see Billy at once on an urgent matter." Dumbledore says walking forward, "She will meet you at your office at 7 o'clock tonight after dinner to complete her detention."

I feel the grip on my arm start to bruise and I growl loudly, my inner dog coming out.

"Professor Dumbledore, you understand that you are walking on a thin line with the ministry at this moment." Umbridge threatens.

I resist the urge to shake my head, is she that stupid that she would threaten one of the greatest wizards of his time, the only one Voldermort was afraid of.

"Professor Umbridge, as I am still Headmaster of Hogwarts, I have the authority to dismiss detention's and..." Dumbledore looks angrily at Professor Umbridge, "Torture."

The Toad's arm slackens around my arm and I step quickly away from her clutching my wand.

"Thankyou Professor, Billy will see you later tonight for her detention and I will see you at dinner. I hope you have a good evening." Professor Dumbledore says, turning around and beckoning me to walk with him as I walk through the doors I hear Umbridge's quiet threat, "You better watch out, Anderson."

I stiffen and I see Minnie stiffen beside me, I walk slowly beside Dumbledore whose fists were clenched tightly and I could feel the tension rolling off him. As Dumbledore leads me to his office, I knew I was about to get a rant.
