" This year Hogwarts has decided to add co-curriculum activates to out timetable

Chapter 5

Professor Snape stared at Laura than at the hat, he passed it to Dumbledore who was sitting on his right.

" Laura, we have come to a decision. You will try out both houses and decide which one you want to go yourself. I will change the timetable so that Slytherin and Gryffindor share all their classes together. So that you can see." Said Dumbledore.

" Your trunk is in the Slytherin dormitory at the moment," said Professor Snape, " I will bring you there."

Laura just nodded, staring at Snape wondering whether he ever washed his hair.

The next morning

 " This year Hogwarts has decided to add co-curriculum activates to out timetable." Announced Professor Dumbledore, smiling looking around the great hall. " The reason is that we want you to learn more than the usual. Oh yes. Quidditch is a CCA. But you can join more than one CCA. There will be chess and medical arts for the mean time. There will be more coming up soon. Oh yes, duelling is part of you timetable. I feel that everybody needs to know how to duel."

The whole hall was buzzing over the annoucment of the CCAs. Ron straight away announced that he wanted to join chess. Hermione was deciding between the two and as Harry was in quidditch so the choosing of CCAs did not matter so much to him.  It did not bother Draco either but Laura like Hermione could not decide.

Laura ran over to the Gryffindor table dragging a very grumpy Draco along. " Hermione!" she said excitedly," which CCA are you going to chose?"

Hermione excitedly replied back. While Harry and Ron starred at each other and mouthed girls exasperatedly, Draco just starred on with a look of pure disgust.

Duelling Class  (Debra's P.O.V.)

" All right class. As you all know who I am, all please call me Debra." Said Debra to the whole class. She noted that all the Gryffindors sat at one end of the class and all the Slytherins sat at the other end.

All the slytherins sniggered rudely. Debra stared at them. 'Now that's the most annoying house.' She thought to herself.

" All right class, you are here to learn to duel, have any of you been in a duel before?"  I asked looking around the class. Everybody seemed to be starring at a boy with glasses and messy hair. Oh, that was Harry Potter. Nobody seems to be raising their hands." Well? Anybody? Harry?" I asked. All the Slytherins seem to snigger simultaneously at the sound of Harry's name. Ah well, life can't be perfect for everyone. A few people raised their hands. I noted that a lot of Slytherins had raised their hands and of course Harry Potter and a couple of Gryffindors. " Can I have two volunteers to demonstrate to the class how to duel?" I asked, hoping for some response but as usual there was none. I ran my hand down the register and randomly picked out two pairs. I could not resist picking Harry Potter. I also chose a pair of twins, Draco and Laura, I cannot tell them apart. Wonderful. Just wonderful. And also another person called Neville.

Heavens forbid, Neville to duel. He just can't. Laura easily won by doing the full body bind curse. I don't think the Gryffindors were very pleased, because she started putting an itching spell on him after that.

Draco and Harry? Goodness. They both can duel. Very well. Who does not know? Harry of course can duel. I mean after fighting the Dark Lord for so long can definitely duel. As for Draco, we all know he is Lucius Malfoy's son. He is definitely is underhand. Draco won by taking Harry's glasses away, and so Harry zapped the spell in the wrong direction. Injuring, unfortunately me. Sigh. Hermione luckily knew the counter spell. Thank goodness, or I'll have jelly legs for a long time.

And so, I got Draco and Laura to duel. There is only one way to describe it hilarious. Draco was serious and Laura was laughing non-stop all the while. Thank goodness she stopped laughing in time to duel. If not the consequences will be too ugly to see. Draco first shot a jelly legs curse, which Laura jumped away, returning it with a stunning curse. Which Draco expertly blocked. And on and on it when. The spells used were more and more dangerous and were way beyond their level. Unfortunately for them, one or both of their hexes exploded up the whole room, injuring nearly the whole class. 

Professor Mc Gonagall who though the class nearby came rushing in. She nearly threw a blue fit when she saw my whole class. I could do nothing but grin sheepishly back at her. Sheesh, she always was a strict teacher, I felt like a student once again. With the help from the class that she was teaching, she managed to bring the whole class to the hospital wing.

She was giving me a lecture like I was a student on letting the Malfoy twins to duel. The injury list was long and many. Draco had a badly burnt arm, so did Laura. Harry had numerous bruises and cuts everywhere. Poor Neville was knocked out. The rest of the class had cuts and bruises and burns. I made a mental note to myself not to let the Malfoy twins duel unless necessary with precautions. If not I will go crazy. Ron and Hermione were quite furious at Draco. Luckily for Laura, they did not blame her.  Madam Promfrey made me stay in the hospital wing with Harry, who was a mess of blue, Draco, Laura and Neville. The rest of the class were told to rest in their dorms after being treated. Well, they were happy, they got to miss lessons.

" Well, Potter nice to see that you are once again in the hospital ward." Said Draco.

" Nice to see Malfoy that you have not lost your scarsity even when burnt." Replied Harry.

" Wonderful." Muttered Laura to herself. " Do the both of you ever stop arguing?"

" No!" replied Harry and Draco.

" Why don't the both of you try to get along?" Laura asked." I'm sure you argue a lot, but you both admire each other. I can see and sense that."

" Laura." Draco said in a warning tone.

" Sorry." Replied Laura sounding not sorry at all.

" Huh? I don't get the both of you." Said Harry, not catching head or tail of the conversation.

" Never mind." Replied Draco and Laura, sighing.

~.~

Their wounds healed fast and were down for dinner at the great hall. The other levels were asking what had happened. The other houses were equally curious and furious that they had to miss duelling lessons.

" All your duelling lessons will be held outside next to the quidditch pitch in future, after what had happened today." Announced Professor Dumbledore.

A few whys where heard across the hall. Dumbledore cleared his throat and said," After what had happened today after the first duelling lesson of the week. Some students managed to tear down the whole duelling classroom."  Draco and Laura were blushing, and the whole of the Gryffindor fifth years seem to be staring at them.

*.*

" I cannot believed this happened!" exclaimed Laura, sitting on the floor of the Slytherin Common room. Draco nodded his head in agreement.

"Yeah. It was so embarrassing." Draco replied. " Wonder what Potter, Weasley and Granger thought of it."

"Oh for goodness sake Draco. Will you please for once be nice to Harry, Ron and Hermione? "

" Yeah right."

" Says who?"

"Says me."

And the argument went on for a while. The result was a very furious Draco and Laura. Crabbe and Gyole knew better and left the common room.

Suddenly an explosion occurred right infont of Draco and Laura's face. The whole slytherin common room could hear it. A very black Laura and Draco appeared from the smoke, eyeing each other wearily.  Laura walked out of the common room, leaving Draco alone.

A very furious Laura walked towards the Gryffindor common room, while doing a quick clean up spell on herself. Upon reaching the potrait, she realised she did not know the password. She hit herself on the forehead and left muttering a stream of curses quite loudly. That a trio of students who were walking pass were surprised.

" Laura!" said Hermione, disaprovingly. " I'm surprised at you."

" Yeah why?" replied Laura.

" Don't curse that loudly. What happens if you were holding your wand!" exclaimed Hermione.

" Yeah what happens if you were holding your wand." Mimicked Ron in jest.

" This would happen." Said Laura holding out her wand, black and blue sparks flying out of it, face as red as Ron's hair.

" So, anyway what are you doing here." Asked Harry amiably.

Laura explained the whole thing. Harry and Ron kept on bursting into fits of laughter. Hermione was lecturing Laura.

" I did better go." Laura said suddenly. " it has became a habit of mine to irritate Draco at this time."

" Laura!" said Hermione disapprovingly.

Harry and Ron said nothing but burst into silent laughter, which earn them strict looks from Hermione.

" Sorry Hermione the perfect." Said Ron in a straight face.

" Bye!" Laura said, walking off.

" You know what?" said Harry staring at Laura who was walking off.

" What." Said Ron." If I knew better, I bet Harry is going to fall in love again."

" Oh no." said Hermione in a mock tone of concern." We won't want that to happen."

" Oh shut up the both of you." Said Harry turning red.

`.`

An explosion greeted Draco. He knew his sister had returned and decided to irritate him. He sighed and turned around. Staring at the exact replica of his face. She just shrugged and sat on his bed.

" Hi Draco." Laura said smiling.

" Mnn" Draco nodded back in a form of response.

" Could you be nice to Harry? Ron? And Draco?"

" What do you think."

" Yes."

" NO."

" Fine. I will announce to the whole school your crush tomorrow."

" Alright."

" Deal?"

" Deal."

" Good night."

All right. I know. I received enough flames. I'm using them to burn my drawings. Any way. I am rewriting most of the chapters. So, if any thing does not match, don't come and find me…
