Harry finished his breakfast feeling great as they had DADA first. He hoped Sirius would do ok. As everyone began to enter he emerged from behind the corner calling out expelliarmus and taking Draco's wand from him. Everyone screamed momentarily but soon stopped as they realised Draco was fine. "Ok so welcome everyone. That there just proved that Constant Vigilance is always required. What do I mean by constant vigilance? I mean being constantly aware and prepared for what could be around the corner as you never do know. This is DADA class and so you will be learning spells which can help you when or where ever necessary. The first charm I will be teaching you is called Protego. This charm will send up a coloured barrier in front of you that will protect you from most oncoming spells should it be strong enough. You will know when it's been successful as you will feel the wall going up a bit like a ward in front of you. Now wands out, books down and lets practice. In my class we will spend our double class and one single class doing practical work and then the remaining three single classes will be on theory. Come on!" he said as everyone placed their books on the tables before they were all moved to one side.
Everyone prepared to cast the spell. He showed them the right wrist movements for the spell explaining that lazy or wrong wrist movements could cause serious damage to the caster. Everyone practiced and expected Harry and Draco were the first ones to get it. Hermione got it her second try along with Neville, Luna and Susan Bones. "Ok very good everyone. I need a volunteer. Right ok Draco join me up here son and I'll fire a spell at you and you block me alright! The spell will only be a light stinging jinx so should your shield fail you you'll only be mildly hurt. I should also point out that the more power you will into the spell and the more confidence you have the stronger the shield will be. Ready on the count of three. One, Two, Three Stupify!" he called out as Draco called out Protego and everyone saw his almost white coloured shield go up and defend him easily. "Let's try one more time and good job Mr Black!" he said proudly. This time he set the stunner on full power without Draco. This would truly test his ability in defending himself. As expected Draco was well able to defend himself.
Sirius started clapping madly. "Well done Draco! Well done Draco! Ravenclaw take twenty points for Mr Black's astounding work. Ok let's try someone else shall we. Perhaps a Gryffindor after all I was a Gryffindor myself in my days here. Let me see the register. Ok Ronan Weasley please!" he called out to which Ron growled. "It's Ronald Weasley oh honestly how hard is it to keep the damn name on the register correct!" he snapped shocking serious. "Perhaps some humility might be prudent in your case now line up and we'll see how well you've been listening to me this lesson!" he snapped at Ron who jumped. "One, two, three Stupify!" he called out as Ron screamed Protego however his shield was so shoddy that it simply sent the curse to another student instead of blocking it totally.
"Ok Ron this is what happens when you don't focus. Take five points from Gryffindor for injuring a fellow classmate and five points to Gryffindor for teaching us a valuable lesson in paying attention. It is these kinds of accidents that get people killed. If my spell had not been a simple stinging jinx miss Patil here would be in a lot more trouble. Consider yourself lucky nothing more happened. I will escort her to the hospital wing and while I am gone everyone is to try and aid Weasley with his spell. Some actual help can after all go a long way. Ron remember I was an Auror and without excepting help from my team I would not be where I am today. Sometimes the best thing for us is to shut up, realise we're wrong, accept the help and then improve!" he said sternly as he waved his wand at the desk making a book stand up before escorting Padma from the classroom and up to the hospital wing. Ron was astounded as no one had ever been so clear or straight with him before and he realised for the first time that if things went bad for you someone else could get hurt. He found the experience rather frightening and almost wet himself at the thought that he could have killed her.
"Stop wetting yourself Ron and just accept the help. I mean everyone knows that although you weren't focused it was an accident. Come on and I'll show you how to do it!" said Susan seriously. With a little determination and help he was able to protect against oncoming spells. Sirius and Padma arrived back after she'd had a pain relieving potion and was alright once again. Ron apologised to her and she accepted moving on. "Ok Susan Bones for your sheer determination and willingness to help someone else take twenty points for Hufflepuff. You'll learn in my class that good endeavours earn you loads of points and doing the wrong thing can loose you loads of points. My point in this lesson so far was to prove that not listening can have disastrous consequences and that we need to aid one another. Now for this next half of the lesson things are going to get very dark indeed but they need to in order to help you conquer your fears and so on. Who can tell me what a Dementor is?" he asked and Harry's hand shot up.
"Yes Harry go on please!" he instructed. "Dementors are vile and foul shapeless black and visceral creatures who turn the environment extremely cold and suck all of the happiness or happy memories out of the environment or person they are with" he answered correctly. "Take twenty points to Emberwolf Mr Potter for that correct answer. They are the most vile of creatures and can only be destroyed one way. The spell I will teach you is a higher level spell but as we have so many people of talent in this years group I feel we should try it out and see how it goes. If not we can always try again later. The wrist movements are the same as the other spell only this time you say Expecto Patronum. This time however instead of just the right wrist movements and correct pronunciation you need to think of the happiest memory you have and allow it to fill you up totally. When you find it and say the spell white substances should appear in your wand. When the Patronus is performed by someone with as much experience as me it can form a corporeal shape such as an animal. We all have these forms within us but for some people they can take ages to appear. Don't worry if they don't appear as animals at first as this is totally normal. I'll show you mine now Expecto Patronum!" he called out as a big dog shot from his wand wagging it's tail and running around the room happily.
Everyone was ecstatically clapping at this. Harry looked at Hermione both of them nodding they said it at the same time. Prongs shot from Harry's wand charging at Sirius almost knocking him over in joy. The class had stopped to watch it in awe. Hermione's form which had changed from an otter to a doe was now chasing prongs around happily. Susan Bones got it on the first try as well a dragon emerging form her wand. Draco's was also a dragon making him see Susan in a different light altogether. Both Neville and Luna had male and female hippogriff. Hannah Abbot was able to produce a horse and finally the p
Patil twins had variations of centaur which was a rare sight indeed.
"Each house is to take twenty points for a wonderful effort from a strong bunch of students. Well done everyone and Ron well done for accepting help and being a reasonable young man. Take five points from yourself for learning a valuable lesson. What an advanced bunch we have here. Out next practical lesson will be fun indeed. I need two feet of parchment on the Dementor and Patronus charm due in on Friday please. Class dismissed!" he said as Ernie McMillan's hand shot up. "But sir today is Friday!" he moaned. "Yes and I mean next Friday you numbskull!" he responded laughing loudly. He had quickly learned that having a fool like Quirrel teaching them had made them doubt themselves so much that they had no confidence in their abilities. He had purposefully decided on the Patronus Charm for the second half of their double class to test them but had not expected such great and amazing results. I mean with a lot of encouragement and confidence building from him and each other he could see that they could probably learn anything. This class would be Auror level by the time he had finished with them at the end of their school years and he was excited by this. He would do it in a fun and praising way while also preparing them for any future battles they may need it for. There was so much promise in this class he genuinely was excited beyond belief for them.
Heading down to the potions classroom where he knew Snape was with no class yet he entered the room. "Severus might I have a word?" he asked as the potions master looked up in surprise. "Yes of course Sirius. What is it?" he asked him seriously. "Do you know by any chance what the Prewett Lord's have been instructed to do by their late uncles who left them a hefty inheritance?" he asked Severus who looked confused. "I'm afraid I don't Sirius!" he said. "Well they've been asked to use the money to create products for the entire Zonko's line which their late uncles purchased for them. They have asked for my assistance which given what it involves I will of course provide. However I was thinking we could pool our knowledge to create something like a magical version of the muggle first aid kits. I mean I know it's a joke shop but they could create things to keep people safe as in having a safety first section to their shop and they agree it would be a good idea. They don't however know how to go about making one of these and I thought you might be interested in helping me come up with ways to aid people. I have explained to them that we want a forty percent cut of the sales and they have agreed. What do you think?" he asked Severus who in awe of the whole situation.
"I think it's long time overdue that someone thought of something this epic. I mean this could save thousand of people from running to St Mungos every time they have a cut or scab. This is great. And you know what we could even include inside each one a small brochure on how to make potions such as sleepless dream draft, pain relieving potion, anti nausea potion and skelegrow potion. We can also include in the brochure how to administer it and everything so that only those with the most severe injuries end up in St Mungos. We are very clever indeed and could be very rich from your discovery as they know nothing here about it existing in a different capacity in the muggle world. I'm on board of course" he said excitedly. Sirius was delighted and they arranged to meet with both boys to explain their idea in the evening. Sirius' life had just gotten so much more interesting.
