Chapter 2
Norbert the Norwegian Ridgeback
Harry gobbled his food down and as soon as the feast finished and rushed to meet Sirius and Lupin. Professor McGonagall went to stop him, but then thought better of it.
'Sirius, L-Lupin,' he gasped out of breath,
'I don't know what to say,' he stuttered.
He stared into Sirius' eyes and gave him a tight hug. He stepped back and greeted Lupin. Sirius looked shocked he didn't know what to do, and his face broke into a huge smile, he looked almost relieved. They talked for a bit longer then Harry was ushered away by Professor McGonagall.
' Come on,' she whispered,' you'll have plenty of time for that.'
He thought she was being serious but he looked up and she gave him a friendly (and rare) smile. Up in his dormitory Ron greeted him,
' How is he, where's he been, do you think he'll be a good teacher, how will he cope?' he ranted
'Ron, Ron,' laughed Harry, 'He's fine, c'mon lets go to bed.'
So they went up to their beds. Harry collapsed onto his warm and cosy bed and almost fell asleep, but before he did he had one more thought but decided, just for now he'd keep it to himself.
Next morning Harry was up and out of Gryffindor very early. He arrived in the Great Hall to find only a handful of first years excitedly talking about what their first lessons were to be.
'Up early aren't we Harry?' Harry turned in his chair,
' Dumbledore, professor, sir,'
Harry muddled out his words,
' Brain not with it yet?' Dumbledore laughed. Harry noticed the first years whispering and pointing at them both. He caught a bit of their conversation,
' That's 'arry Potter that is, and im he's mad 'e is,' Harry looked at Dumbledore who was smiling away,
'The cost of fame ah Harry?' Dumbledore winked and walked to the front of the table. Harry called after him,' Professor,'
'Yes Harry,'
'Th-thanks for hiring Black and Lupin,'
'No problem, in fact, he came to me,'
Professor Dumbledore turned and continued to the front of the table. Harry stayed there until Ron and Hermione came down.
' Been looking for you,' exclaimed Hermione,' you must have been down here early.' They ate breakfast and waited for their timetables to be handed out. Harry quickly scanned his:
Transfiguration first, followed by-yes! Defence against the Dark Arts and then in the afternoon double Care of Magical Creatures, an excellent day all round.
He finished his breakfast very happily then rushed to get his stuff for Transfiguration. Professor McGonagall had prepared a lesson on Animagus; Harry listened very carefully and tried to learn as much as possible. Professor McGonagall turned into a cat as she had done in their third year. The class clapped and she went about telling them of famous Animagus mess-ups, like when Sarana the Scary who could turn into a sheep, accidentally turned into one during an annual Sheepdog contest and was promptly attacked by about 50 confused and bewildered Collie dogs. When she was coming around to answer question Harry decided to ask her a few.
' Professor,' he asked,
' Umm,'
'I was wondering, did you choose to become a cat or did it sort of happen?'
'Well you sort if turn into a creature that reflects your personality,' she answered.
' How long did it take you to become an Animagi?'
'Ooh, about a year and a half-but,' she added,' that was when I was being trained by a professional.'
Harry nodded,' thanks,'
He added and she moved off went to answer a Ravenclaw's question. After lesson Harry was so deep in thought that he had to be reminded by Hermione and Ron that he had Sirius next,
' C'mon,' Hermione called. Harry quickly shook his head and hurried after them. He arrived at the class and then remembered he didn't know which house they were with: he checked around-the Hufflepuffs.' Excellent,' he whispered and sat down between Ron and Hermione. Sirius entered followed by Lupin. He cleared his throat and addressed the class.
'O.k., quick register and we'll begin.'
He read out the names and checked the class reports.
' So you've done a lot of unusual curses and tackled Boggarts, Red Caps, Hinkypunks, Kappas and- he smiled at Lupin, Werewolves. O.k. so I think we'll do a lesson on,'
He thought for a while,
'Dragons,' he smiled.
'Come on everyone pack you're things up we're going outside.'
Looking excited and scared the class packed up and followed Black out and down to the grounds. When the reached the main entrance he turned to speak,
' O.k. no need to be afraid just stick by me and you'll be fine.'
He opened the grand doors and just out of sight a huge blast of fire erupted over the top of the Forbidden Forest. The class gasped for many of them would be only the second time they'd ever encountered a dragon and the first time they weren't going near it, just watching it in the Triwizard Tournament.
Sirius led the way and round the corner of the trees was a gigantic and very impressive black dragon, roaring and blasting jets of flames into the sky.
' A Norwegian Ridgeback,' he said proudly, 'by the name of Norbert.'
Harry looked to the ground and noticed Charlie, Ron's older brother and an expert in dragons. Sirius explained,
'Dragons, like snakes, are generally thought of as dark omens and used by dark wizards,' he went on,' this one though is pretty tame and will actually let people stroke and pat it.'
Tame? Thought Harry as the dragon set fire to a bunch of trees, he wasn't too sure if he agreed but decided to keep quiet.
'Now,' carried on Sirius,' dragons are extremely hard to battle as their armour is incredibly hard and repels most hexes but there is a way.' He explained,' as you could probably imagined dragons are weak to water so a simple Tsunami Charm should do the trick, now watch carefully'.
He raised his wand and took a deep breath.
'Tideallus Prolurun!!!!' he bellowed at the top of his voice.
A thin blue line emitted from the end of his wand and wafted into the air. It slowly travelled through the air straight at Norbert. As it got closer it increased speed until it was rushing, fast at the creature's cavernous mouth of teeth. Soon it was foaming mass of bubbles and spray, splashing away. It reached his mouth and twisted and turned like a snake and charged down the dragon's neck. The dragon roared loudly for a while thrashing around in the air then stopped. He stared at Black, belched, and collapsed to the floor.
'Don't worry,' called Sirius, 'he'll be fine in a while.' Little did Harry know how useful this information would be.
After lunch Harry, Ron and Hermione made their way to Care of Magical Creatures. Harry turned a corner on his way to the main entrance and bumped straight into..... Professor Snape. Harry groaned as the books Snape had been holding flew through the air and crashed into a suit of armour.
'Potter!' he hissed,' I see you're blind and stupid!!' he roared. 'Pick these up now!'
Harry knelt down going red in the face and began to pick up the musty, old books.
'And you can tell that filthy murderer you call a Godfather I'm watching him.' Harry cracked no one insulted his Godfather.
'What the hell do you know, you just can't get over that school prank-and,' he added, 'you can't talk, you're a Death Eater!!!!'
Snape's face went paler than ever and he spat,' detention for every day this week I'd expel you if it wasn't for Voldemort's minions running riot.' He stomped off down the corridor and disappeared out of view.
'I shouldn't have done that,' Harry moaned,' you shouldn't have,' agreed Hermione, 'It's a good job no one was around
, C'mon we've got to go' Harry was miserable as he came to the door and pushed it open the sun was bright over the mountains and cast a gold glow over the grounds but Harry didn't notice. Professor Grubbly-Plank was talking about Sadretorors huge creatures that lived in the forests and had the power to rip down trees with one huge clawed hand. Although she didn't have an adult, she had a baby Sadretoror that was about three foot tall. It was covered in thick brown-grey fur and its paws already had claws almost a foot long. Its face was squat and flat it had a squashed pug nose and small beady eyes. Harry paid little attention to the entire lesson and barely realised the lesson had ended. He trudged inside and started up the stairs to Gryffindor common room when a voice called behind him.
'Harry,' he turned,' you're detention dates,'
It was Professor McGonagall. He nodded and took them from her. Tonight, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday he was to clean spotless every classroom Snape could find, and it took place every night at midnight he groaned, maybe not an excellent day after all.
