Sorry about the wait guys, when I have an idea for another fic fresh in my mind I have to write it out immediately or I end up forgetting the best part. Sometimes I'll update the fics faster than others, but that doesn't happen too often.

Anyway this is all about the first day in Snape's new class, and a little dwell into Molly Weasley's part on what she thinks of Millie and Snape raising Harry, and what she thinks about Harry living with them.

I don't own Harry Potter.

Enjoy!

"So which way is DADA?" they'd been wondering around the dungeons for several minutes before they finally realized where Snape had moved his classroom. Instead of having it in the old classroom the man decided to keep it towards the dungeons, some things never change.

"It's just down here, Snape wanted to make sure the classroom was fit enough for class." Pansy led them down another corridor and there stood the usual bat sign on the classroom door; this was it.

"Reckon he'll put us in assigned seats?" Harry looked at Hermione.

"Likely so, wouldn't mind." Ron was falling behind as usual; he probably thought the old classroom was still where he was supposed to go even if the letter said there had been a room change. Then again he only read the books part knowing what he needed for the classes.

A whole line was outside the class in minutes; thankfully Harry and Hermione were towards the front. Harry knew his uncle would act as if nothing had happened over the summer, but he understood since revealing their relation wasn't a good idea right now especially with death eaters all around. Harry spotted Ron coming down and stopped at the end of the line, panting as if he'd ran all over the Quidditch pitch; he had to smirk, but let that smirk fade when he heard the door click.

"Students file inside quietly, look for your assigned seats." His voice echoed over the classroom. Harry walked around and saw that he would be sitting next to Hermione and Blaise for this term. Draco sat in front of him with Crabbe and Goyle on either side of him. Harry spotted Ron sitting next to Lavender Brown, who was giving him a weird look.

'This should be good.' Harry's smirk returned.

"Now then, to begin this year's class you are all going to start off by taking a pop quiz based on material you learned last year. This will determine how I will teach you this term depending on what you remember." He started handing out small packets of paper. "You have an hour to do this quiz, when you are finished bring it to me and wait until everyone else is done. You are not allowed to talk or ask for help, and if I catch you cheating I will have you in detention faster than you can say Quidditch." Harry took his packet and read over a few of the questions.

What is the Gemino curse?

What is the Flagante curse?

If the two curses named above are combined together what are the dangers, be descriptive?

What counter curse is used against the flagante?

Name the three unforgivable curses and their counters.

The first few questions were easy, but as Harry read over the rest they were more difficult and required longer answers. He knew these though, Hermione had given him some tips over the summer to study.

'No problem.' He'd gotten an O in DADA on his OWLs, so this was alright for him. Thankfully he taught the DA when old Dolores 'Toadface' Umbridge wouldn't. Harry finished his test quickly, but he couldn't answer all of them because some questions where more Hermione's territory.

He looked over seeing Ron struggle with his test, probably because he cheated off Hermione whenever they sat side by side. Thankfully things were going better, if Ron failed he might gain a few brains from his mistakes. Harry took his test to the front and while his uncle looked over it he swore he saw a tiny smile on those thin lips.

"Well Potter it seems your 'O' was deserved after all, though it would've been more deserving if you answered ALL of the questions, sit down."

"Yes sir." Harry sat back down and then Hermione got up turning in her test. Snape nodded at her and she sat back down next to Harry, giving a smile of triumph and motioned to Ron's table where he was still struggling.

Soon enough everyone else turned in their tests, but poor Ron was still having trouble and time was almost up. Harry saw Romilda Vane and her two friends looking at him weirdly, but paid it no mind as Draco passed him a note under the desk.

Weasley's test isn't even halfway filled, he's done for.

Was Ron really that dumb? Or did he forget about how tough Snape is? Probably a combination of both, since Hermione upfront refused to let him copy her homework anymore or even tutor him since he nearly fell asleep during each session; Harry read over the rest of the message and showed it to Hermione.

This weekend is Quidditch tryouts and I know you're the captain, but afterwards would you and Granger like to join Pansy, Blaise and I in the Room of Requirement for a little get together? You can bring Longbottom if you want, or even Lovegood to even out the numbers.

Harry looked at Hermione who nodded and quickly wrote on the note passing it back to Draco. Draco gave him thumbs up and then Snape stood up from his chair with all but Ron's test.

"Mr. Weasley are you quite done yet, time is up?" Ron looked up and hesitantly handed him the paper. "Mr. Weasley if I remember correctly you received a passing grade for DADA, yet you give me a half blank paper. Why is that?" he glared at Ron and the redhead shivered.

"I…I forgot some things sir…"

"You forgot, didn't you study over the summer like everyone else? Or did you simply copy Granger's work last year?" Ron looked down. "Hmm, I'll expect better work in the future Mr. Weasley and if I were you I would read your book instead of copying another's work." He placed the papers back on his desk.

'Got you again Ron.' Harry smirked again.

"Now, judging from the rest of these tests I will expect good grades from each of you. For most of the term we will do bookwork during the weeks but on the last days we will test your skills with the wands. You will learn about certain spells and curses this term and at the end of the week we will see how you work with them and their counters if they have one. The same goes for any dark creatures you will learn about this term, understood?" everyone nodded. "For the remainder of class I want each of you to look in your books and choose a dark creature, one which you will write an essay about and I will give you a list of all I expect in that essay next class."

Harry flipped open his book and looked through the contents before something caught his eye, Inferi. The name just stuck into his head, and he circled the name to make sure he wouldn't forget. He checked his wristwatch and noticed that class only had five minutes left, and then he had a free period.

"When you pick your creature bring me a slip of parchment with your name and creature on it and then you may leave but no one can have the same creature, if you do then I will send you back and you will remain here until you pick another." Harry took out a small roll and wrote his creature down. He walked up to the front desk with Hermione and Draco behind him, handed in his scroll, and grabbed his bag to wait on his friends outside.

"Well that was fun." Hermione walked out with him. "What did you pick?"

"Inferi, you?"

"Acromantula, figured it would be fun." Draco, Pansy, Blaise, Crabbe and Goyle all came out. "Hey guys, what'd you all pick?"

"Thestral." Pansy.

"Ukranian Ironbelly Dragon." Blaise whispered, dragons weren't necessarily dark creatures but there were dark facts about them.

"I tried for Acromantula, but it was taken so I chose a Boggart." Draco.

"I chose a Chinese Fireball Dragon, one of my favorites." Goyle.

"I ended up choosing a Chimaera, don't know why it just stuck out." They all walked down the corridor but just before they reached the end someone ran down behind them and up to Harry, Romilda Vane.

"Hey Harry, where're you going?"

"Um, I was going to go outside for a bit, free period."

"Oh well I was wondering if you wanted to go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend? I heard Honeydukes is having a candy sale."

"Sorry but no, I have plans." She seemed skeptical.

"What plans?" she looked at Hermione.

"Quidditch tryouts, and then afterwards I'm hanging out with some friends. Sorry." A disappointed look crossed her face but she sighed in defeat.

"Oh well, maybe some other time." She glared at Draco and his group. "Bye Harry." She winked and ran up to meet her friends.

"You know that girl's crazy for you Potter?" Blaise snickered. "Her and those friends she walks around with are like a little fan club."

"Not interested, I already have one crazy girl after me I don't need anymore." Hermione laughed. "So what's this little gathering about this weekend?"

"It's just something we do each weekend; we either study or just sit and chat for a while. It's a way to get away from teachers and others who bug us." Draco slung his bag over his shoulder.

"You sure it's a good idea for everyone to see us like this? People will talk…"

"Stop worrying Crabbe Potter and I care less about what anyone thinks anymore. Besides we made a truce, he was judged and I was jealous and stupid that's what started everything."

"Oh right." They continued walking on towards the outside gardens, but unknown to all of them not one but two certain redheads were watching them.

At the Burrow:

Molly Weasley was absolutely furious, but she had a good way of hiding it from her husband and children. She was angry about what happened at the Order meeting, that woman and Snape making her look bad in front of everyone including her own children.

The nerve of that woman, how dare she insult her like that! How could she just belittle her in front of everyone, she didn't even give her reason to do so. Sure she questioned Severus being a good guardian to Harry but who wouldn't? From what she remembered Severus and Harry didn't get along at all and after this Millie woman shows up they start acting like a family?

That ungrateful bitch, Molly had been a mother to Harry far more than Lily or Millie could have ever been! Sure Lily was dead, but Molly raised seven children far more than she would've had! Millie had no right to do that to her, she just couldn't be a good guardian for Harry.

"Molly are you alright?" Arthur was off for the day, and Molly was in the kitchen scrubbing dishes.

"I'm fine Arthur."

"You're scrubbing awfully hard…"

"I said I'm fine Arthur!" she snapped, but she shouldn't have because Arthur had his 'You're lying' look on. "I'm sorry."

"Are you still angry about what happened at Grimmauld?" she didn't answer. "Molly you know you brought that on yourself, you had no right to judge Severus' wife least of all the Malfoys."

"Don't tell me you agree with Albus? They're death eaters Arthur!"

"But Dumbledore trusts them as spies, and I trust Dumbledore's judgment as does everyone else. They're under watch anyway by him and Camille, I think we can trust them."

"I don't like her Arthur, she's not maternal material."

"And how do you know that? You only met her once."

"You heard what she said, she's letting house elves raise her daughter instead of her! She shouldn't just give her daughter up to some creatures when she can find a suitable sitter."

"Molly she said the elves will watch her when she has classes, then she or Severus takes care of Brianna if not Harry or Hermione if they're busy."

"I don't' like it, something's different about Harry he barely paid Ron or Ginny any attention at the meeting."

"He was under a lot of pressure, he's just getting used to being in a loving home."

"He could've been in our home." Arthur sighed.

"You know why he can't, I love him like a son as well but he's got his blood family looking after him. Especially from what those muggles did to him Millie and Severus are good for him."

"I don't think so." He sighed again.

"Think what you want, but as long as Harry's happy you should be happy for him." Arthur grabbed his wand and went out to feed the animals, leaving Molly in her own thoughts.

'That woman, I know she's not good for Harry. He didn't acknowledge my daughter, he's going to marry her.' No doubt Millie was as dark as her husband, so he couldn't be in a safe home especially with the Malfoys.

She was going to put an end to this somehow, but first she had to make sure Ron and Ginny were doing their jobs correctly. One thing kept blowing Molly back though, those glares Millie had given her at the meeting as if she were looking into her very soul.

Did she know something?

I really hope this was worth your wait.

Did you like the class part? Molly's anger sparks?

Next chapter skips ahead to the end of the week, Ginny shows up, Romilda shows up, a little surprise for Hermione, a part with Millie included with Severus and Brianna, maybe even something on Voldemort. I'll try and make it a long one, so please be patient with me.

R&R

Later!
