The sorting ceremony had finished and the pupils were tucking into their
food. Dumbledore was wondering where Madeleine and Michelle were. Harry
was wondering what the two spare chairs were for. Thinking of his forth
year and the triwizard tournament, gave him painful memories. Hermione
seeing the look on his face told him to stop thinking about the past, you
couldn't change it with giving the world other problems. Draco was sitting
at his desk wondering why a certain person would not notice him. Ginny now
realised that she didn't love Harry and that it was a good thing that they
never got together. Ron was humming the tune to chopsticks while
McGonnagal was wondering what was for dessert. Suddenly the doors burst
open at either end of the hall. Madeleine and Michelle were standing in
the middle of each doorway in shocking pink tutus. The school gasped at
this strange sight. Madeleine shouted "go." And they burst into
pirouettes, arabesques and flying leaps all in sync.
They then sat at either side of Dumbledore. Michelle gulped down some pumpkin juice while Madeleine started to pile her plate with food. Madeleine looked up and seeing the shocked faces asked "haven't you seen someone eat before?"
Dumbledore stood up and announced who the two people were. "I would like you to meet Professor Clarke are new DADA teacher."
"Madeleine, if you please. I hate the word professor makes me feel old I'm only 25."
"Well then I'd also like to present Michelle the new potions assistant."
Michelle quickly stood up and bowed.

"Now in today's lesson you're going to fill these out these questionnaires and then we're going to do a practical. I went to Mago principiante which is in Spain. I've lived as a muggle for the last eight years so I might be a bit rusty. I do know how to teach I taught in a muggle school for four years. Michelle and my self can both speak Spanish and French so me talk to each other like that it confuses a lot of people. Now can anyone tell me the main way to travel in the magical world?"
"Flying, Floo powder, port keys and apparation." Answered Hermione
Madeleine hastily scribbled this down. "Will you be teaching us how to apparate?" asked a scared Neville.
"No. we're using floo powder."
The class looked at her blankly. "But I've been using floo powder since I could walk and talk." Said Ron
"Well think of it this way. Your attacker has your wand how are you going to escape it with out it? Fir instance how many people have fallen out of the wrong grate in their lives?"
Practically the whole class did. "Exactly, you need to make sure that you don't get ashes and what not up your nose and in your mouth when saying directions. Would you really like to come from one attacker into a worse situation? Now we're going to use this grate to get to another part of the school. The word is jungle book. Take some floo powder preferably more then you need incase you get lost you'll need dome to get to the right grate. Once you get there you should see me and if you're neat the end the rest of the class." And with that Madeleine followed her instructions.
Madeleine found her self spinning and the fell on top of someone or rather some one.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?" shouted the person
"I was using floo powder, and stop being so arrogant."
"You're meant to be teaching and so am I! You can't just come flying through the god damn sky into my lesson."
Michelle burst into song and started to sing I believe I can fly. Then slowly one by one the Gryffindor 7th years came through the fire place. They looked around in surprise at where they had ended up. "You can't just interrupt my lesson!"
"I can and I did!"
"Get out, all of you!"
The Gryffindors left. As Madeleine went through the door she said "aye, aye cap'in." then burst into song while tsp dancing. "I'm pop eye the sailor man." tap tap. "I live in a caravan" tap tap, Michelle then joined in. "I opened the door fell flat on the floor I'm pop eye the sailor man." Tap tap.
