Hello! Here is the next chapter it mainly focuses on the classes and not the H.A. meetings, but I thought I should throw this chapter in anyway. I think my last chapter was really sad so this chapter is going to be a lot more happy and cheerful. Please read and review! Thanks! –SR7

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

"Harry… Harry. Harry wake up!" Draco yelled as he was shaking Harry awake.

"Mph- do you mind?" Harry asked him sleepily.

"No, I don't, now Hermione is waiting for us in the common room. You decided to sleep in so we have to hurry if we are going to make breakfast and our defense class on time." Draco said while slinging is bag over his shoulder and starting for the door. "We'll give you five minutes."

Harry groaned, but got up anyway. That night Harry had dreamed or rather had a nightmare about the mysterious dark leader that Dobby had described, and it didn't help his nightmare with Snape's warning going through his head. Harry groggily got dressed and stuffed his bag with his homework then headed down to the common room.

Hermione and Draco were on the couch looking at the Latin book Hermione and Ellie found. When they heard Harry, Hermione quickly stuffed the book in her bag and both her and Draco jumped up from the couch. "Did you sleep well last night?" Hermione wondered as the trio left the common room towards the dinner hall.

Harry shuffled his feet. "No, I had a nightmare about that man Dobby described to me. For some reason I keep dreaming like I'm Dobby walking up to the man then seeing only white eyes and a red gash on the mans face then he blasts something at me then I wake up."

"You need to tell Dumbledore about these nightmares, he can help you plus it could be useful information for him. Please at least consider seeing him?" Hermione begged him after seeing his disturbing look.

"Why should I tell Dumbledore? This doesn't concern him, but if these nightmares keep happening then I'll consider seeing him." Harry added after seeing Hermione's glare and stern look she was giving him.

Hermione's face lifted but she didn't say anything. She just turned her head back and preceded the rest of the trip in silence. The trio got their usual seats towards the end of the Apache table where Cody, Seth, David, and Darrick were sitting. Cody lifted his head up from his food when the trio sat across from them. "Hey guys!" he greeted. "Are you three dreading today like everyone fifth year and up is dreading?" Cody asked with a sarcastic smile plastered on his face, which quickly turned into a frown.

"Why what's today?" Hermione asked dawning a confused look on her face.

Seth snorted some of his pumpkin juice back into his cup. "Has Dumbledore seriously not told you guys about Fridays?" he asked trying to contain his giggles.

The trio exchanged looks with each other then shook their heads at the boys across from them. "Would someone tell us what Friday's are already?" Draco asked annoyed.

The Duraflame friends all looked at each other then David sighed. "Since these blocknuts won't dare to say anything about it I'll tell you." David gave one last glare at his friends then turned to the trio. "A couple years ago (Mollock) Heffner and his wife, Felicity Heffner started a new class that teaches young witches and wizards how to take care of a home, family, and to do that and have a job, hence the name home economics. For the whole year this year we will all have a partner who will be our wife and/or husband. We will have to take care of a baby, take care of our "house", and pretend to have a job. Then at the end of the year Mollock and Felicity will grade us on how well we took care of our baby, how well our house looks, and what are job is and what it pays."

"Do we get to choose who we're married to?" Draco wondered.

David squinted one eye then shook his head. "Kinda, we are going to have to take a blood test today to see who we are most compatible with. So basically we're with whomever best matches us. Oh! And we have to be with someone from our year, not with one of the sixth or seventh years." David exclaimed remembering that small detail.

Cody nodded at the explanation in embarrassment. "Yup and that makes it totally awkward when you get older and your ready to get married, because basically you already know who your best match is, but you try to ignore it. Four years ago a dude named Joe Kin got married right out of Duraflame to his love of his life Marissa Blue, but they weren't paired together during this activity. Marissa was paired with this other dude named Mark Casey and two years after she was married to Joe she just all of a sudden got this desire to be with Mark. So she left Joe to be with him, and they got married and are still married. But she broke Joe's heart and three months after she left him, he died, but nobody knows why. Creepy right?" Cody told the group creeping everybody out.

Draco had the worst look of anybody. "So does this mean we have to marry whoever we're paired up with in this? I don't want to die!" he whined.

Darrick rolled his eyes. "Don't worry you don't have to marry whoever you get paired up with. Joe probably died because of a physical body issue Cody is just making that story up."

"Am not!" Cody shouted defending his word. "That is a true story. My older brother Chris is friends with Marissa, I've met her and Mark and Marissa told us about Joe and his unusual death. Even Chris told us his side of the story since he was mutual friends with Joe." Cody stated folding his arms together.

Darrick rolled his eyes again. "Whatever."

Harry let out a low whistle. "So it is all the fifth, sixth, and seventh years. In the whole school?" he asked trying to get off the Joe and Marissa topic.

Seth nodded. "Yep, except each year gets their own mentors. I think this year fifth year's get Professor Kelly, Professor Phoebe, Professor Pore, and Professor Goldby. The sixth years get Professor Sprout, Professor Grubbly-Plank, Professor Dunn, and Professor Hawk. And the Seventh Years get Madam Heffner, Professor McGonagall, Headmaster Heffner, and Professor Snape." Seth said counting off the names with his fingers.

David nodded. "Fifth years get all the young professors." He said smirking.

Darrick turned to David. "Your sick!"

"Am not!"

"Are to!"

"Am not!"

"Are to..." this argument went on.

While David and Darrick were arguing and Cody, Seth, and Draco were encouraging it Hermione leaned in towards Harry.

"Did you hear what Seth said?" she asked in a whisper.

"Um, 'Mione your going to have to be more specific so I know what your talking about."

"Seth said professor Grubbly-Plank. She's Hagrid's substitute, that means Hagrid isn't here." Harry nodded.

"I know. I was going to ask Dumbledore about it, but when I tried to walk up to him last time, he ignored me and walked off. It was weird." Hermione furrowed her eyebrows together and returned to her normal sitting position deep in thought.

Harry stared at her for a second but then heard Draco trying to talk to him. "Mate… did you hear me? I said we have to head to DADA now."

"Oh, right sorry. Uh, lets go then." Harry and Draco said good-bye to the group then walked off to the defense classroom.

Harry and Draco walked into the DADA classroom to find Professor Pore and Professor Goldby setting up big brick blocks around to classroom, when Goldby saw them he smiled. "Ahh, Potter, Malfoy I'm glad you're here early. Would you help us finish setting up the room for today's lesson?"

"Yeah, sure. What do you want us to do?" Harry wondered throwing his bag against the wall out of the way.

"Can you a Mr. Malfoy levitate that brick box up in the middle of the classroom then set a freezing charm on it so it will stay, then can you assist me and Professor Pore on the reducto spell today? I assume both of you know it." Harry and Draco nodded, Goldby beamed at them. "Great! The box is over there. Good luck."

Harry and Draco walked over to the box and took out their wands. "Do you think it is as heavy as it looks?" Draco asked knocking on the brick's surface.

"I don't know I guess we'll have to try it to find out." Harry said pushing Draco to the other side of the box so there would be more support. "Alright on the count of three 1…2…3. Wingardium Leviosa!" Harry and Draco shouted at the same time. The box slowly floated up till it was twelve feet in the air. Harry and Draco were struggling trying to keep the spell from breaking, they eventually had to get on their knees and hold onto their wands with both hands. "Draco! Do the spell now!" Harry hissed tasting the sweat he was producing.

Draco hesitantly took off his part of the spell, which made the box drop a foot in the air and a very exhausted Harry scream in pain. Draco quickly casted the freezing charm, "Immobulus!" The box froze in the air, and Harry collapsed to the ground panting heavily.

"You alright mate?" Draco asked helping Harry up.

"Erm, yeah, I am. Thanks." Harry let out wiping the sweat off his forehead. Draco did the same and collapsed in a chair that conveniently appeared behind him.

"Potter! Malfoy! Are you two alright?" Goldby asked panicked at seeing his students like they were. "I'm sorry, I would have helped you guys but Pore wanted me to help him move some books into his office. I'm sorry!"

"Its fine Professor." Draco gasped.

"You two don't have to still help me and Pore with today's lesson if you don't want to. You two should sit and rest, you don't want your magic to get to exhausted." Goldby suggested trying to help his two helpless students.

"Thanks Professor, I hope you don't mind me asking but how do you know that our magic might be exhausted?" Harry asked confused, right now he didn't care how sore he felt.

"Before I took the job here I was a Auror for the ministry I helped take down death eaters. Part of an Auror's training is to know medical things to in order to help the sick or injured on your team. Judging by the way you two keep clutching your stomachs I can tell that you two are a little exhausted by how much magic you had to use in order to lift that box. If you use more magic than you usually do on a certain thing it can make you dizzy, sick, or have a stabbing pain. That box you two lifted was 300 pounds worth of brick. That's pretty amazing for two fifth year students. So if you like you can just help me and Pore today or you two can go to the library to study. Which would you like to do?"

Harry and Draco looked at each other then back at Goldby. "Professor, I don't think our magic is that damaged. We would like to stay and help out."

Goldby looked impressed. "Well I must say that's pretty impressive that you're not to tired to do this. You two are strong troopers."

"Thanks Professor." Harry and Draco simultaneously said together.

Goldby nodded and left the two boys where they were to talk for a few minutes till class officially started. When the people started entering the room, Harry and Draco sat on Pore's desk waiting for Pore to give them their signal.

"Good morning class." Pore grumbled.

The class mumbled their reply back then Pore started the lesson. "Alright, who can tell me what spell blasts inanimate objects away?" A girl with black hair that was put up in a ponytail and with Pueblo blue robes on raised her hand. "Yes, Grace?"

"Sir, isn't the spell the reducto curse?" she asked in a soft voice that had the tone of a know-it all like Hermione in it.

"Right Grace. The 'reducto' curse blasts inanimate objects away, but do not use it on people. I warn you." Pore said glaring death stares at the students. "Anyway, today Mr. Potter and Mr. Malfoy will be assisting me with the spell. Mr. Potter you first." He said motioning Harry to come over by him. Harry did and took out his wand. "Alright, Mr. Potter please take out that brick box in the far corner of the room." Pore said pointing.

Harry looked to see a brick box floating in the air by the coat racks, but it wasn't nearly as big as the box he and Draco levitated. Harry took his position and pointed his wand at the box. "Reducto!" as soon as the curse left his wand it gathered into a big ball of light and shot itself at the box taking it out leaving only a few of its dust particles behind.

Pore stood there dumbfounded at Harry's power. He finally squeaked out. "Good job Mr. Potter. And that class is the 'reducto' curse. I will have Mr. Potter and Mr. Malfoy walking around the room in case anyone needs help. Please only use the spell on the many, many brick boxes set up all over the room, but leave the biggest box currently floating above you alone. That will be used later for the seventh years. Start!"

The students all found a box to practice on. Some of them blasted a little chunk out on one of their many tries but many of them ended up hitting the ceiling or a window. Harry and Draco had their work cut out for them just trying to block spells from hitting other students let alone actually assisting someone with a spell. Towards the end Grace had asked for some help so Harry came up to her keeping his eyes on alert for a misfire.

"Harry, can you help me? I usually do great in every subject, but I'm not that great in this class. How do you put so much power in your spells?" she asked expectantly.

Harry looked at the girl. "You know, you kind of remind me of my friend Hermione she-."

"Oooh I know Hermione!" Grace squealed. "We have charms together. She is a very bright witch, and pretty to."

Harry chuckled. "Yeah, that's right. Well she can do any subject, but she struggles on DADA, she's not bad but she's not her usual perfect self either."

Grace nodded. "I guess I'm exactly like her then."

Harry shrugged. "I don't know about that. Well anyway lets see your spell work." Harry helped Grace with her wand movements and the force of her voice, and so she was the only one to successfully blast a whole box away.

Pore sighed. "Well class, have a good weekend I'll see you all later." The class all filed out of the classroom onto their next class leaving an annoyed professor behind to clean up his classroom.

"Harry do you know where the home ec class is?" Draco asked as they made their way down the corridor towards the staircase. Harry thought for a second.

"You know, I don't think anybody told us. Do you think anybody here would know?" Draco shrugged and looked around just like Harry. Harry caught sight of a black ponytail walking down a different staircase at the other end of the hall. "Grace! Hey wait up!" Harry yelled running towards her with Draco trailing behind him.

Grace turned around to see who was calling her. "Hey Harry, Draco. What's up?"

"Are you headed to the home ec class?" Draco asked looking into her big brown eyes.

"Yeah, I am. Actually everybody that was just in DADA should be to, but their taking their break a little early." She said shrugging rubbing her tan skin.

"Would you show us where the classroom is?" Harry asked her.

Grace smiled at the duo. "Of course come this way!"

Grace led them down the rest of the stair then down an elevator (Grace and Harry had to explain the elevator to Draco) the elevator took them down below the school until there was a long hallway. Grace told them that the room is located under the ocean floor hidden from muggle machines. But you can still see the water surrounding all the rooms like you really were under the water. She took them to a room that had a 5 labeled on the door. Inside was a humungous room circular room with many doors along the circumference of the wall. A couple students were sitting on the couches and/or beanbag chairs already, but Harry didn't know any of them.

"Harry! Draco!" Two voices screamed behind them. Harry and Draco turned around to find Ellie and Hermione standing behind them then engulfing them in a tight hug.

"Hey guys!" Draco said happily slinging an arm over Ellie.

"Hands off Malfoy!" Cody casually said walking into the room. Draco groaned but removed his arm off her.

The friends all got seats in the middle of the room, and soon every fifth year in Duraflame and Hogwarts were in the room waiting impatiently. Then finally the professors walked into the room, but Professor Kelly and Professor Phoebe strutted more than walked in.

"Hello students! Let me explain what we are doing here…" Phoebe said smiling and explaining all the rules and what they would be doing. "…So even though we will only be meeting on Fridays each couple is responsible for their baby, for cleaning their house, and taking care of their "life" during the week and weekends. Lets get started on the blood tests then." Phoebe exclaimed taking out a couple knives and handing them to the other professors. "Please line up and one of us will cut your palm slightly and you will donate some drops of your blood into this goblet."

The students all very hesitantly got up and lined up at one of the four professors. Neville's face turned white when he saw Kelly cut Seamus's palm and force him to deposit his blood into the goblet. Luckily the professors healed everyone's palm right after they were done with them. When it was Harry's turn Phoebe cut a slit across his palm, but Harry didn't even flinch. Phoebe noticed this and looked up at him. "Potter you must be pretty strong since you didn't react to that."

Harry shrugged. "Over the years I've gotten used to it. And last June I was cut across the palm in that very spot so I guess I'm immune to it." Harry nodded after Phoebe healed his hand and he walked back to his seat where Neville was still looking sick. "Are you going to be okay Neville?"

Neville clutched his stomach and nodded. "I think so, I'm just not all to comfortable around blood…or knives."

Harry nodded and patted Neville on the shoulder reassuringly. Finally everyone had finished with their blood test. Then Kelly walked up to the front of the group. "Alright students Professor Pore is going to stir the blood all together and then we will get our results so until then, you can all just mingle amongst each other." She smiled at the group then walked away.

Harry turned back to his friends where Ron was talking. "Okay Professors Kelly and Phoebe are hot, but I'm seriously starting to lose interest."

Draco nodded. "Agreed, my tall red headed weasel friend." Then he and Ron actually gave each other a high five. Hermione looked pleased, as did the rest of the group unbeknownst to Ron and Draco.

They talked about H.A. tactics the rest of the time until Pore and Goldby finally announced the results were in. They started listing off the couples assigned to each other, and then he finally got to naming the names the H.A. cared about the most. "…Draco Malfoy and Ellie Beck." Draco gave a silent cheer and ignored Cody's death glare. "Cody Beck and Grace West." Cody turned his head to the cute little Pueblo who gave him a shy smile. "Ron Weasley and Lavender Brown. Seamus Finnegan and Parvati Patil. Neville Longbottom and Hannah Abbott. Dean Thomas and Susan Bones. Blaise Zabini and Pansy Parkinson. Harry Potter and Hermione Granger…"

Time stopped for Harry as he heard Pore say he and Hermione were going to be a couple for this project, he only came back to earth when Seth slapped his back trying to congratulate him. Hermione gave Harry a small smile then turned back to Pore.

"Alright now that I have told you who your partner is I want you and your partner to go and choose a door and stand by it. Do not enter until I say so though." Pore warned.

Harry bounced up and offered to help Hermione up which she happily obliged to. Harry and Hermione chose to stand next to a brown mahogany door next to Draco and Ellie's door. "Alright when you enter your 'home' I want you to look around and find the nursery then locate a baby doll that will be in the crib and cast the spell bambino your doll should transform into a real baby who you will take care of this year. Name your child then write the baby's name on a piece of parchment and leave it on the counter for us to collect later. Oh, and the baby should resemble to look like both you and your partner." Pore said then smirked.

Goldby rolled his eyes. "Okay enough of this. Everyone please enter your home now."

All the students happily did. Harry and Hermione opened their door to reveal a comfy cottage house living room and kitchen. The walls were log and the floor was a smooth bamboo. A chandelier hung above the small kitchen, which contained a granite top for the counters and steel kitchen appliances. Harry followed Hermione towards another door at the other side of the room, but not before steeling a glance at the big leather couches. Hermione opened the door and inside was a small cute nursery that had white walls, several stuffed animals, pictures of animals that hung on the walls, and a white crib in it.

Harry and Hermione walked up to the baby doll that looked so lifeless. "Would you like to cast the spell Hermione?" Harry asked her softly and carefully as she lifted the baby and put it into Harry's arms.

"Yes Harry I really want." Hermione took out her wand and smiled. "Bambino!" Suddenly the baby doll Harry was holding started vibrating and twitching until Harry felt flesh instead of plastic. "Harry! Look it's a girl!" Harry looked down at a cute little baby that had his emerald green eyes and had some of Hermione's brown hair. The little cutie looked up at Harry in wonder and a smile slowly creeped up on her face then she held up her hand trying to reach Harry's glasses.

Harry looked up at Hermione. "She's perfect." He started to feel tears fill up in his eyes. He never had a real family before and now he has Hermione and their cute little baby girl even though they might not be married and the baby was a spell. This was good enough for him.

Hermione took the baby from Harry and started rocking her. "What do you think we should name her?"

Harry thought for a second. "How about Taylor. In Spanish Taylor means beautiful, happiness, and peace." Harry stared at Hermione whose face lit up like a Christmas tree.

"Oh wow Harry, I love it!" she ran up and hugged him making sure she didn't crush the baby while she did it though. As soon as she let go the room turned into a cute room just for Taylor. The walls turned a pale green with splashes of blue, pink, and yellow everywhere (you would think this would look crazy but if you have the right painter do this it turns out really cool) the rug turned a pale blue, and the closet filled itself with Taylor's clothes.

Harry and Hermione couldn't stop smiling. Harry went to write Taylor's name down on a parchment just like Pore said to do while Hermione put clothes on Taylor. When she came out of the nursery Taylor had a cute yellow sundress on with a yellow and white headband that made her look even cuter. Hermione handed Taylor over the Harry who happily took her. Then they exited their "home" to see the others and to introduce Taylor.

"Harry! Check it out! Me and Lavender have a boy and his name is Devon!" Ron yelled excitedly running towards Harry and Hermione. "And who is this?" he wondered catching a sight of Taylor.

"This is Taylor. Me and Harry's baby girl." Hermione cooed tickling Taylor's tummy making her giggle.

"Wow Harry you and Hermione sure do have a cute one there." Ron said pointing at Taylor smiling.

"Yeah we do don't we." Harry replied back watching Hermione walking over to Lavender to meet Devon.

"Harry!" a voiced yelled behind him. Harry turned around to see Draco and Ellie practically skipping out of their house with an adorable baby girl with silky blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. "Harry, check this out. Me and Ellie's baby girl, we named her Bella. Ya like?" Draco asked unable to hide his smiles.

Harry laughed. "Yeah mate she's beautiful." This made Draco and Ellie both gleam. Then Ellie headed towards Hermione and Lavender to talk to them.

Draco looked at Harry. "Aren't you forgetting something? Who is that cutie your holding there?"

Harry smiled and looked down at his little angel. "This is Taylor."

"Cute! Hmmm, Harry, Hermione, and Taylor Potter." Draco mused with a goofy smile on his face, which earned him a thump on the head.

"Shut up Draco, we're not actually married." Harry hissed.

"Yeah, sure whatever you say." Draco said unconvinced.

The group met the rest of the little family's and then all sat back down in the main room again. "I see all of you have perfect looking little baby's, well I want to remind you that they will grow a little over time, then on the last day of this class all the babies are going to magically transform back into a baby doll. I know it seems so harsh, but all of you are way to young to keep a baby, especially since none of you are married. I know it will be sad that day, but I assure you one day each of you will have a little pride and joy of your own to care for. We'll see you all later have a good weekend." Phoebe said getting a lot of boos when she said they couldn't keep the babies.

The fifth years all made their way up to the main hallway, it was a little after lunch but Heffner said that since Friday's they only had two classes, then could have lunch later.

Harry and Hermione took Taylor to the Dinner hall and ate their lunch while they also fed Taylor applesauce. Harry stared at Hermione making baby noises at Taylor, which made the little angel laugh. All Harry could think was this is my pride and joy.

Soooo, did you like it? What did you think of little Taylor, or even little Bella and Devon? More is to come next chapter so I hope to get some reviews telling me how I did. Thanks! –SR7
