Dominique, Defense Against the Dark Arts
and the Double Date
"No!" The woman screamed as the robed man shot a flash of green light out of her wand and her husband crumpled to the ground.
"Now it's your turn!" The Dark One, Voldemort glided across the ground to her and raised his wand. "Avada Kedavra!" He shouted, and the woman was dead before she hit the floor. He turned his attention to their son, a young man in his twenties, lying fear stricken in bed. He raised his wand, but the young man sprung out of bed and drew his wand.
"Kanuk!" He shouted.
Voldemort blocked and countered. "Avada Kedavra!"
"Reflectario Incantatem!" The young man shouted, and the killing curse bounced off of the invisible shield surrounding him.
"Cali tan slin! Memwar, un imveno alisenism lis/urei!" Voldemort shouted, in the tongue of the necromancer, and four corpses with axes
rose out of the ground and sliced the shield. "Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort roared, and within seconds, the man was dead, and the corpses disappeared.
Harry Potter bolted up in bed, chilled at what he had just seen. Voldemort had used necromancy, and who were those people in him dream? He glanced at the magic clock at his bedside. It read "Five minutes until Mr. Harry Potter has to get up."
Harry got out of bed, got a fresh set of robes, and stepped into the bathroom, he stripped and got into the shower, not really that anxious for a new day.
Down the hall, Xiaou woke up and got out of bed, taking care to wake Hermione up. "Hey Herm, you want to take a shower first or should I?"
she asked.
"I will!" Hermione answered, and the previously groggy Hermione, was now alert, and grabbing robes and shoes. She raced in to the bathroom like it was the last one on Earth.
"Whatever." Xiaou said, and took a seat. The took her wand out and said, "Transmittos Kadma." She brought the wand up and said "Harry Potter, please."
"`Lo?" Said a fresh sounding Harry.
"Hey Harry, what's up?" Xiaou said into her wand.
"Not much just got out of the shower and I'm getting dressed, right now. How about you and Hermione meet Ron and me in the common room in half an hour so we can go to breakfast together?" Harry said.
"Sounds good to me, bye!" Xiaou said, and with that she twisted the top of her wand and put it back in her bag.
"All right, Xiaou, your turn." Hermione said as she walked out of the bathroom, ready to go.
"Oh, ok, Herm. I told Harry that we'd meet him in the common room in about 25 minutes, so I'd better hurry." Xiaou said. She got in the shower and started to wash off. Fifteen minutes later, she was done.
Hey Herm?" Xiaou shouted, doing her hair in their dormitory.
"Yeah, Xiaou?" Hermione replied, looking up from her book on elemental magic and black necromancy.
"What time is it?" She said, completing her bun and walking out of the bathroom.
"7:10, we should meet Harry and Ron in the Common Room and get down to breakfast." Hermione said, and with that put the book she had been reading in her bag.
"Oh, ok." Xiaou said, and walked out the boor, bag slung over her shoulder, and Hermione following.
"You look great, as always, ladies." Harry said as the girls came walking down the stairs from their dormitory.
"Thanks Harry!" Xiaou said. "Well, we'd better get going down to breakfast." she said and they all strode out of their tower.
They walked to breakfast rather silently, with the exception of Hermione remarking that they had Defense today. (They had never had it before, so it was kind off a big thing) The group walked into the main hall and took their usual seats at the Gryffindor table. (They still had classes with the gryffindors and sat at their table)
"Hello all." piped an energetic Neville.
"Hey Neville." They all remarked.
"Hello, students." Professor Dumbledore said, in the beginning to his morning announcements. "Only one announcement this morning, a change for the DRIC meeting time, it is going to be at 7:00 at night, in my office. Form a line and I will let you in precisely at seven, ok?
Alright, Dig In!" he finished.
"God I am hungry today!" Harry said, digging into his blueberry pancakes, not even bothering to butter them, even though he had put syrup on them.
"So, Harry, when did you get the motor put in your jaw?" Ron said, with a look of amazement on his face.
Harry gave Ron the look and said "I just woke up an appitite sleeping."
"Oh, right, stupid me." Ron said.
"We have defense first today, I wonder what the teacher is like?" Hermione said.
"Well, she seems nice." Ron said.
"Yeah."
"So, Xiaou and I were wondering if you two wanted to make the double date tonight after the DRIC meeting?" Harry asked Ron and Hermione.
"That sounds great!" Hermione and Ron said in unison.
"It's time to get off to Defense." Harry said, and with that Harry, Ron, Hermione and Xiaou headed off to class.
****************************
Professor Lycine paced the room, waiting for her first class to arrive. She glanced at the schedule "Seventh Year Gryffindors." she read aloud. She proceeded to put a packet on each desk.
*******************************
"Well, here goes nothin." Ron said, as he strolled into the classroom, his friends behind him.
"Hello, class!" Professor Lycine said. "You are early today!"
"Well, we got done with breakfast early today and so, we thought, why not come on up. Is that ok?" Harry said.
"Of course." Professor Lycine said. "It looks like the rest of your friends are coming, too, Mr.?" she noted.
"Potter, Harry Potter." Harry replied.
"Hello, Mr. Potter." she said to him only. "Now, class, my name is Professor Lycine, and I will be your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Seeing as Voldemort has been increasing the strength of his attacks, and an insider in his organization reported that he may be planning an launching an attack on Hogwarts sometime soon, we will be focusing on dark curses and how to block them. There will also be a series of training simulations throughout the year where "death eaters" will storm the school and you seventh years will have a set amount of time to banish them from the school." she explained.
"But, professor, I thought that as long as Dumbledore was here, Voldemort would not try to touch us or the school." Parvati asked.
"Ah, that is the common belief, yes, however, many people think that the Dark Lords forces now out number all of the occupants of Hogwarts by a great amount. So, Voldemort would not be scared to attack the school." she said.
"Oh, alright." Parvati said.
"We will also be practicing healing techniques and battlefield training, in case this war gets anymore serious." she noted. "Now, class, I want you to take the packets on your desk back to your dormitories and discuss and read them for Friday in your common rooms, alright?" She asked.
"Alright, Professor Lycine." the class, generally murmured.
"Now, we have time to learn about one healing spell." she said. "Could everyone please turn to p. 69 in "Dark Arts and their Counterparts? Today we will be learning "Relinquo Badisho". This spell will heal all cuts and top the effects of most spells. I want you to raise your wand, swing it in an overhand motion, then swish it across, while saying the incantation, okay?" she said.
"Alright, Professor Lycine." the class said.
By the end of class, most of the class had mastered the spell. Hermione knew it so well that she conjured a knife and slashed a very deep cut, and then healed it.
"Alright class, time to pack up. I will see you in four days, on Friday, alright? Good. Goodbye!" she said, as the class walked out of the door.
****************************************
The rest of the day past by pretty uneventfully. Soon the four students found themselves at dinner, not eating much at all, because they knew that they would go on the date.
"Xiaou, Hermione, meet me and Ron in the common room at 9:00 tonight, we are going to go on the date, okay?" Harry said.
"Alright, Harry." Hermione said. Xiaou nodded her agreement.
Harry glanced at his watch, it read 6:50. "Hey guys, we should start heading down to Dumbledore's office. It's ten to." Harry said.
"Oh my gosh, I completely lost track of time! Your right Harry, we should!" Hermione said
So with that, they all raced off to Dumbledore's office.
*************************************************
As it turned out, Ron, Harry, Hermione, Xiaou, Ginny, Draco (?),
Padma Patil, Neville, Lavender and a new kid, Kyle Conner were the only ones to show up.
"Why are you here, Draco?" Harry asked, slightly puzzled.
"My father committed a murder over the summer, so from now on, I want to train to be a auror and work for the ministry." he said. As if something in his bloodstream kicked in, he noted, "Not that it's any business of yours Potter!" he snarled.
"Just asking, Draco..." he said.
At that moment, the gargoyle that guarded Professor Dumbledore's office moved to reveal Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Dominique. "Hello, students. May I introduce you to Dominique, a representative for the DRIC." Dumbledore said.
"Hello, Dominique!" the students said.
"We are ready for you now." Dumbledore said, and led them into his office.
"Now, how many of you know what the DRIC is?" Dumbledore asked, as soon as they had all gotten into his office.
"The DRIC is an elite organization of aurors, of which the most trained and promising students are let in." Hermione said, as if reciting from a textbook.
"Yeah." There was a general murmur of agreement through out Dumbledore's office.
"Good. Now I am going to hand it over to Dominique here, who will explain how potential members of the DRIC are chosen." Professor Dumbledore said, a suspicious glint in his eye.
"Thank you, Professor Dumbledore. Now, you will be given a short exam, which will have a written and practical portion." Dominique said, as he passed out a written exam. "I have cast a spell on the chairs you are sitting in so that you can not hear the person next to you or see them. This will prevent cheating. When you are done with the written part, please flip the paper over until the others are done. When all are done, we will summon all of you to do the practical part, ok?" Dominique finished. "Now, go!" he said.
Harry looked down at the exam and read "Question 1: If a dark wizard casts Avada Kedvra, what is the only spell that will block it?"
Next to the question, there was a blank space, in which Harry wrote, "Reflectario Incantatem." He filled in the rest of the questions and sat in his seat.
"Alright, we can see that all of you are done, so stand up and wait near Fawkes' cage, ok?" Dumbledore said.
"Ok." the group said.
"Now, the practical test is indeed pretty simple. I will take you down into my storehouse, which is being held by death eaters and dementors. You must rid the storehouse of them in twenty minutes or less. Are we all clear?" Dumbledore said.
"Yes Professor." Xiaou said, and the others nodded their agreement.
Harry could feel the adrenaline rushing through his blood as he entered the storehouse. He looked around and saw Xiaou. "Hey Xiaou, did you bring your broadswords?" He said.
"Only one of them." she said, drawing it and showing it to Harry, who nodded.
"Listen, the rest of us will protect Xiaou, while she will move in for the kill with her broadsword, ok?" Harry said.
"Alright, Harry." Hermione said, the others said nothing and just gulped.
They neared the end of the stairs and saw the death eaters and the dementors. Harry and Xiaou crouched low and entered the storehouse. Harry looked around and saw a Death Eater facing away from him. "Silencio!" Harry whispered, followed by "Kanuk!" Instantly the death
eater was on the ground, unconscious.
"Hey you stop!" A death eater walked over towards them, alerting his teammates.
"Go, now!" Harry said. Instantly Xiaou was alive, slashing and blocking what curses she could, the others picking up for her. Also instantly, Padma and Neville were stupefied, lying on the ground.
Within the first minutes of the battle, twenty of the thirty death eaters and five of the ten dementors were dead.
"Expecto Patronum!" Harry shouted, and the giant stag erupted out of his wand and killed all of the remaining five dementors.
A death eater approached Harry with a sneer on his face, and raised his wand. Harry jumped aside, but the wizard followed. But instantly, Ron jumped in and screamed "Avada Kedavra!" The death eater fell to the ground, dead.
All of the students approached the remaining death eaters and used curses to hang them from the ceiling. "Good job, students!" Dumbledore said, walking down the stairs to his storehouse. "While you were down here, we graded your tests. I am very pleased to say that all of everyone with the exception of Padma and Neville made it into the DRIC. Would the rest of you wait here. You two, please return to your dormitories, alright?" he said.
As soon as Padma and Neville left, Dumbledore began again. "The rest of you, congradulations. You have made it in. As a measure of security, you will be moved to a different house with Harry, Ron, Hermione and Xiaou. You will have some classes with your original house, and some with your new house. As well, for official purposes, you will be counted in your original houses. I will give more details tomorrow. Now, please head back to your house. You will find your stuff in your new dorms. Goodnight."
***********************************
Harry and Ron were in their dorms, getting ready for their double date. They were both doing their hair (Harry was at least trying!) when Draco walked in. He dropped a note on the bathroom counter and walked out. Harry pocketed it and looked at his watch. It read "8:55!" Harry read aloud. "Well, time to go, Ron." he said, and they walked out, taking care to tell their roommates that they would be back about eleven o'clock. Harry also grabbed the Invisibility Cloak, shrunk it and put it in his pocket.
"Hey Xiaou!" Harry said and took her by the arm. Ron did the same, and they walked out of the common room.
"So, girls. Harry and I were thinking that maybe we would go to the Hogsmeade House of Food (A gourmet restaurant.) and then finish it of with a few butterbeers at the Three Broomsticks." Ron asked the girls.
"Sure!" Hermione said.
"Yeah! Sounds great!" Xiaou said.
So, with that, they took the secret passage to Hogsmeade, and started towards the Hogsmeade House of Food.
**************************************
"How many, sir?" the maitre d` asked Harry.
"Four, please." Harry replied, and he led them to a table, where their waitress asked about drinks.
"Mulled Mead" Ron said
"Same." said Hermione
"I'll have firewhisky." Harry said
"I will have the special wine." Xiaou said.
"Are you ready to order?: the waitress asked.
"No, not yet." Harry said.
"I'll be back with the drinks." the waitress said.
"I think I'm gonna have Grilled Salmon." Harry said.
"I am going to have the Roasted Duck." said Hermione.
"I'll have the same as Harry." Xiaou said.
"I am going to have the Admirals Platter." Ron said.
"Alright, then, we're ready to order." Harry said. When the waitress came with their drinks, they gave the order to the waitress.
They chatted until dinner came, when they chowed down. After they were all done eating, Harry asked for the check, paid, and they all left the restaurant.
"Three Broomsticks time!" Harry said, and they walked into the bar.
they found a table and Harry got four butterbeers and came back to the table with them.
"So, Harry, what are you planning to do when you get out of Hogwarts?" Xiaou asked.
"Well, I'm going to be an auror for the DRIC and you know every thing that goes along with it." Harry said.
Of course, it turned out that all of them were going to do the same thing. They chatted until 10:45.
"Hey guys, it's 10:45, maybe we should start heading back to Hogwarts." So, they walked back, chatting, and the last thing Harry remembered before he got into bed was the kiss that he and Xiaou shared.
