******Chapter 7: The Wonderful Oz******

"Did you guys see what Peeves did? He makes me so mad! He got all of my books wet and my quills all broken!" Hermione complained at Potions class to Harry, Ron, and Dawn.

"She over reacts too much." Ron muttered to Dawn.

"Oh well." Hermione sighed and tapped her books and quills, having them dry and repair instantly.

"That was hard." Dawn said sarcastically.

"Yea, takes a lot out of me when I do it." Ron said.

"Good morning class!" Anya greeted, coming into the classroom. Everyone silenced, seeing Snape come in after her.

"Now today we're going to learn how to do a potion on cursing others. Dumbledore's orders for protection. But you are not to use this on any of the other students, understood?" Anya announced.

"Yes, but he didn't say other professors." Snape said to himself.

"Ooh, Dawn. Did you see Oz yet?" Anya asked Dawn.

"Yea! I'm so glad he's here!" Dawn exclaimed.

"Ooh ooh ooh! He brought presents!"

"Really?? I have him for like, 6th hour!"

"Oh my gosh, tell him I said hi! What is he teaching?"

"Ehm." Snape interrupted.

"Shut-up a minute. So what does he teach?" Anya asked.

"Advanced spells." Dawn replied.

"Cool! And I hear another teacher is in it too!"

"Yea, Professor Lupin."

"If you ladies are done gossiping, I'd like to start class now." Snape said.

"OK, fine. Now, Harry, do you mind passing out these thing-a-ma-bobs here?" Anya asked. Harry got up and started passing around medium sized cauldrons. When he got to Draco, he purposely dropped it on the floor.

"Oops." Harry said, going on.

******Care of Magical Creatures******

"Mornin' Harry! Ron! Dawn! Hermione!" Hagrid greeted as the four students came walking up to his class.

"Did you guys hear there's going to be a new class?" Dawn asked them.

"No..." They said. "Why would there be?"

"It's called Advanced Spells. It's replacing Muggle Studies." Dawn explained.

"Muggle Studies??" Hermione yelled.

"Why do you care? You are a muggle." Ron implied.

"Who's the Professor going to be?" Harry asked.

"My friend Oz!! He's so nice!" Dawn said. "Oh yea, and this other professor, Professor Lupin."

"Lupin?!" The other three yelled.

"What?" Dawn asked.

"Lupin is only THE best professor Hogwarts could ever have!" Harry yelled.

"What about Lupin?" Hagrid asked, hearing their glees of joys.

"Professor Lupin is coming back! Teaching Advanced Spells!" Ron yelled.

"Really? That's great! I'm glad he's back." Hagrid smiled, going back to what he was doing.

"I can't believe Lupin is back!" Hermione beamed, alike Harry and Ron.

"He must be SOME professor." Dawn said.

"Did I hear that Professor Loopy is coming back?" Malfoy asked. "Oh my god, like, party!" He sarcastically put his hands in the air.

"Go to hell, Malfoy." Ron rolled his eyes.

"No, seriously, I'm so happy he's back, I'm going to kick myself!" Malfoy pretended to accidently kick Harry hard in the back. "Oops, wrong way." Malfoy sneered. "Dawn, beautiful, please sit with me?" Dawn looked over at Harry, Ron, and Hermione anxiously. Ron and Hermione looked at each other anxiously, then looking at Harry, seeing his flaming eyes glare on Malfoy.

"I hate you." Harry muttered coldly and deathly to Malfoy. Tara saw the conflict right away, running over quickly.

"Here, I'll decide for you. Dawn and Hermione, sit over there. Harry, Ron and Malfoy, sit over there, get along." Tara said directing them to their seats. They obeyed.

"Good going, Potter." Malfoy muttered. Shoving his sholder into Harry's. Harry pushed back. Malfoy swung a punch at Harry's nose. Harry returned it. They started physically fighting again, catching Dawn's eye.

"Oh no," She shook her head and ran over to them, pushing between them both, stopping the fight. Harry and Malfoy stopped immediately, avoiding from hitting Dawn.

"Stop it!" She yelled, turning to them both. "I want this to stop now!" Tara and Hagrid were about to jump in, but when they saw that Dawn was handling it pretty well, they didn't bother. Everyone was watching.

"I've got an idea. Maybe Malfoy... should go to hell." Seamus suggested sarcastically.

"Or maybe Harry should." Crabbe growled. Dawn did a double kick at Seamus and Crabbe, making them fall down.

"I don't care who goes to hell or not right now. All I care about is Harry and Draco. You two better stop this." Dawn threatened. Harry and Malfoy glared at each other, eyes full of hatred. Dawn just shook her head.

"Fine, I'll go then." Dawn said, grabbing her pack and walking away. Tara nor Hagrid stopped her; except Hermione. She ran up to Dawn, walking with her.

"It's your fault!" Harry and Malfoy yelled at each other, pointing fingers accusingly.

"Dawn, I know how they get a little testy sometimes. And I can understand how you must feel, but listen." Hermione started.

"What?" Dawn asked, still angry.

"Can I hang out with you the remaining of the day?" Hermione and Dawn smiled.

"OK." Dawn answered, happier that her best friend would be with her.

"Well you two blew it." Hagrid muttered to Harry and Malfoy, then starting class, again.

******Defense Against the Dark Arts******

"Hey, have you seen Dawn at all?" Harry asked Ron.

"Not since Care of Magical Creatures. You seen Hermione at all?" Ron replied.

"Nope." Harry said, sitting down. He saw right away Xander, moping around on his desk, Spike doing the same.

"You bored?" Xander asked Spike.

"Yep." Spike said.

"Wanna do somethin'?"

"Yep."

"Wanna bother Filch?"

"It's a plan."

"We'll just show the class about defending themselves against annoying creatures." Xander got up, looking around the class. "Hey, where's Dawn?"

"Don't know."

"Damn. Now it's not fun anymore." Xander sat back down, again giving his unamused look. Spike the same. Later, when class started, somebody besides Dawn was missing. But nobody seemed to notice.

******Around the Corridors******

"Hagrid told McGonagal that we'd be gone since of what happened. So no sweat around here." Dawn said.

"Yea. I'm sorry about those two. Both can be brats a lot of the time." Hermione replied.

"But I still like both. I don't know who I like more." Dawn sighed.

"Pick the better man." A deep, dark, yet familiar voice said from behind them. The two girls whirled around, seeing Malfoy lurking behind them.

"That's like a habbit with you." Hermione said. Dawn turned away. Malfoy walked right up to Dawn, face to face, except that Dawn wasn't looking at him.

"Mind, Granger?" Malfoy asked. Hermione walked away, but not out of sight. "Look, I'm sorry that Potter and I got into a fight again. I can't help but to hate him. But I love you, so I'll respect you."

"Are you so sure about that?" Dawn looked into his deep, black, wicked eyes, realizing he looked cuter than ever before.

"I love you." He repeated, grabbing her arms. "Indeed more than Potter."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Otherwise he'd be here instead of me right now."

"Maybe he's busy."

"Maybe he doesn't care. Remember what I told you, beautiful? That I can do more for you. I'll be there for you. I can comfort you. You're safe with me, Dawn. Safer than with a Gryffindor." He gently pushed her against the wall, still holding her arms. Hermione couldn't take it, she ran up to Malfoy and shoved him away, taking Dawn back down the corridors. "Think about it, Dawn!"

"Yes, do think about it." Hermione whispered harshly. "He has nothing to give you. Harry is a whole lot nicer and better than... HIM."

"I'm not so sure Hermione." Dawn was having other thoughts.

"What just because he's nice to your face? Because he calls you beautiful? Because you and him are in Slytherin? Because he's cute and strong? All minor, Dawn."

"In what way?"

"Are you actually falling for him??"

"I don't know!" Dawn shouted, running ahead, losing Hermione.

"Dawn!"

******A Little Later******

Dawn slowed down, walking again. She heard talking in the distance, from a classroom. She walked towards the sound, and it lead to a classroom. The old Muggle Studies classroom, that is. She peeked inside, and there was a young, male brunette talking to the class and a middle-aged man with torn clothing instructing. She took one small step in, when the professors looked at her.

"Dawn! Come in!" Oz greeted. Dawn came in, waving, looking around the large number of students.

"Is this Advance Spells?" Dawn asked.

"Why, yes it is." The other professor said. "Good morning, Dawn." He smiled brightly. She returned the smile, walking up to Oz.

"Um, I kinda got into this little mess in Care of Magical Creatures, mind if I stay a while?" She asked.

"No prob." Oz smiled, returning to the class.

"Hello, I'm Professor Lupin." The other professor whispered to Dawn, shaking her hand.

"So you're Professor Lupin! All of my friends talk about you nonstop! They're very excited on seeing you again." Dawn exclaimed.

"Have you met a boy named Harry Potter yet?"

"Yea! He's my best friend! And he kind of has this crush on me."

"Ah, Harry found a love?"

"And... so did Draco Malfoy."

"Draco?? Really? I'd figure he would."

"Why is that?"

"Because you're so pretty."

"I hear that a lot from him."

"So what happened?" Dawn told what was up with her long stay at Hogwarts. She stayed for the rest of the day at Advanced Spells, actually. Oz, Lupin, and Dawn had a fun time together. Until one hour, with Gryffindor.

"This next class is with Gryffindor." Oz said to Dawn and Lupin.

"Gryffindor?" Dawn asked weakly.

"Yep. Only Gryffindor though." Lupin repeated.

"Oh great." Dawn slumped in her chair.

"Don't worry so much Dawn, it'll be fine." Oz smiled at her. Dawn returned a weak smile. The students started piling in, including Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Hermione glared at Dawn as she came in. Harry ran up to Lupin.

"Professor Lupin!" He greeted, not noticing Dawn yet.

"Hello Harry. Nice to see you again. You too, Ron and Hermione." Lupin greeted as well.

"Hey, Professor Lupin!" Ron said.

"So tell me what you've been up to this past year." Lupin asked. Harry told him everything from Voldemort up to Dumbledore, leaving out the fact that he likes Dawn."Well it seems you still have a lot on your mind."

"What?" Harry asked.

"I hear... never mind."

"What??"

"Are you sure you want to know?"

"Yes!"

"Somebody told me you like somebody."

"Who?"

"Ask her yourself. But this new class is fun. And when she came in all confused, it was great having her help Oz and me."

"A she?"

"Go figure. OK, class, settle down!" Lupin said, walking away from Harry. Then Harry saw Dawn sitting down at Oz's desk. He ran over to her.

"Where were you??" Harry asked anxiously.

"Here. It's none of your business!" Dawn said.

"Calm down, Harry, let's go sit down." Ron said, pulling at his arms. Harry wouldn't budge, he just stared at Dawn.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked her.

"Nothing." Dawn got up and started walking out of the class room. "Thanks for letting me stay, Oz, Professor Lupin. I'm going to go now." She slammed the door behind her.

"Look what you did now." Ron muttered.

"I suggest you either stay away from her," Lupin started, "Or calm her down." He winked at Harry. Harry caught on and ran out of the door, following Dawn.

******McGonagal's Classroom******

Dawn came in, going up to a professor.

"Buffy, can I hang out here a while?" She asked Buffy.

"Sure, but don't get in the way, I'm teaching with Professor McGonagal right now." Buffy replied, turning back to the class.
