Chapter Fifteen

The Professor Potters

On the way down to the Great Hall the next morning Harry was pulled into an empty classroom. "Harry, I would like to have an interesting start to the year with my fifth years. I was wondering if you would consent to having a duel as the class enters today."

"I would love to, Aunt Tabitha, but I have to see my schedule is and if I have a free period first." Harry said trying to hide his excitement as he turned to leave the room. After leaving Harry had a different spring in his step.

"What has you skipping into the Hall this morning?" Ginny asked at the same time that Hermione asked, "Who pulled you into the classroom?"

"Ginny I am skipping because of my Aunt has given me the prefect first day of school present. Oh look, here comes Hagrid with our schedules." Harry went quit as his new head of house handed him his schedule. Harry had a double free period this morning and that just made him grin wider than before because he would be able to see both of his cousin's DADA class this morning and maybe if he was lucky to be able to see Annabelle's first flying lesson. Wood was still obsessed and started the lessons earlier than Madam Hooch ever would.

Harry left breakfast ten minutes early in order to get to the DADA classroom before the fifth years. He skidded outside the room with five minutes to spare, "So, Auntie how are we going to do this Duel? Are we going to tell them it is a demonstration or are we just going to start after they are seated?"

Tabitha smirked that was worthy of Slytherin and said, "Oh no, no, no, no. We will begin the class dueling or rather they will come in to the duel. Maybe even one of the students will attempt to stop the duel." Right as she had finished the bell signaling the start of the lesson rang. "Well," Tabitha said, "Let's begin and see how long it takes for one of the kids to open the door. Remember verbal only till they open the door then we will alternate between. Oh and darling do your worst; Try to win"

So Harry started right off after his Aunt showed her wand. "Stupefy!" Harry shouted. Tabitha dodged and shouted "Incarcerous!" Harry sidestepped and shot his own Incarcerous which he followed up with an "Expelliarmus!"

Tabitha was able to keep a hold of her wand but was unable to completely dodge the incoming ropes from Harry's spell and so her right ankle was caught. She heard Harry shout, "Stupefy!" and the door to her classroom banged open right as she righted herself.

Dennis and Rose were walking down the hall towards their first class, DADA, when they heard a familiar voice yell, "Stupfey!" Dennis motioned for his fellow classmates to quiet down so he could hear what was going on better. After figuring out the first was Harry Dennis didn't think about the fact that the sounds of a duel was coming from the DADA room he just thought that Harry was under attack till slammed open the door and saw their Professor staring up at the Savior; who had just shot a stunner at his own aunt. Dennis acted on instinct and shouted, "Pretgo!" a shield so powerful was erected that Harry's stunner bounced right off and Harry had to avoid being hit with his own stunner. Once the stunner hit the wall Dennis screamed, "Harry, what is wrong with you? Not only is Professor Potter our teacher but she is also our aunt!"

Harry mealy smiled proudly. Dennis showed real prowess during the DA two years ago and he was proud to see his teaching didn't go to waste. After seeing how Dennis was glaring at him, Harry started to speak, "Dennis first off this was a test and a demonstration for you guys. Now that being said, I congratulate you on the absolutely amazing shield charm. You actually rebounded my stunner." Harry would have gone on but Tabitha placed a hand on his shoulder.

"That's enough Harry. Yes I wanted to see how the war affected you. Mr. Creevey I saw that you acted on instinct, who taught you that?"

Dennis was still blushing from Harry's praise but he raised his head to look at his professor, "Harry, ma'am. He taught us to be in tune to our surroundings back in the DA. I will admit that I freaked out a little and just reacted; I didn't think, I just said the first spell that came to my head."

"That is what my point was two years ago." Harry exclaimed. Tabitha hit him upside his head and hissed, "Get out and come back later for the first years."

Harry left the classroom to laughter of the fifth year loins. He chuckled himself at his aunt's temper and looked out the window and saw Oliver doing a demonstration. 'Might as well take a walk in the grounds.' He thought to himself. It took tem minutes to reach Oliver and the first years. "Hey Oliver need some help?" Harry called once he was in hearing distance.

"No thank you. I believe I can handle the strong willed first year Loins."

"Hey!" Oliver's class yelled.

"You are first years, through." Harry said in a voice that was more adapt to speaking to a five year old than an eleven or twelve year old. The next thing he knew there was a broom coming straight at his head.

I realize that I am late with my update but my muse is not helpful. I just wanted to warn

my readers that you will be getting alerts

for this story as I am re-uploading the chapters with corrections so that they read a little

better. Give me a little while and I will

have this replaced with a brand new chapter.

I am sorry about this I hate these too but I felt it must be done as my Best Friend and

resident muse/guru has informed me that I am quite a few months past my deadline that I

had promised you, my lovely readers.
