Blast to the Past

Chapter Four: Classes

By Kitty Malfoy (KM)

KM: Hey Everyone! Guess what?! I've got a new story for all of you! It is entirely H.P. based. Just a note: I used the name and description of the main character on Sailor Moon. Don't hurt me, but she is not used as a SM char in this story. I just like the name, and I think the description fits the name perfectly. NO NASTY REVIEWS ABOUT THIS!!

P.S. Peter Pettigrew is not in here because I don't want him in mah story. He'll stink it all up with his foul stench! Icky-Icky-ICKY!!! He's so…so…so…DIRTY!

Please read on…….

Serenity yawned as dusty sunlight streamed through her window and woke her. Rubbing her eyes she sat up and stretched her arms over her head; hearing that satisfying POP! She lowered her arms and pushed back her warm comforters - after taking off all the protection charms she had put on it the night before.

She slipped out of bed and padded over to her closet, glancing at the clock as she went. She browsed through her mass of clothes before finally settling on a white peasant blouse with flowing sleeves and faded light blue jeans with a silver-chain belt.

Walking over quietly, she shook Lily awake.

"Lily, it's 8:00……"

Nothing.

"You're gonna miss breakfast…"

Nothing.

"You'll miss potions, and get detention!"

Lily just groaned and rolled over.

"Lily! I just blew up the school and James and I are going to elope!"

"WHAT?!" her shriek woke the boys who fell out of bed.

"Just kidding, Lil. I just needed you to wake up."

Serenity laughed and sat down at her vanity while Lily grumbled something about 'giving her a bloody fright'. Rummaging through her bags at the side of the vanity she pulled out her make-up bag and her favorite flavor lip-gloss : Green Apple. With two deft twists of her wand her hair was styled into two buns on the top of her head and covered in silver glitter.

Soon everyone else was ready, and Serenity grabbed a dark blue robe and pulled it on without bothering to button it up, and they headed down to the Great Hall.



Serenity felt a wave of happiness race over her. It had been so long since she had been allowed to be a kid - and she was going to enjoy it.

Upon entering the Hall she stared up at the teachers' table where she was to sit. Every one of them was wearing either black, dark blue, or dark green robes.

.::How boring!::. Serenity exclaimed showing Lily a mental image of the teachers; their robes pressed and totally buttoned up; not a single bent of crooked hat; and all wearing dark, drab colors.

.::So…..what're you gonna do about it?!::.

.::THIS!::.

With a wave of her wand her robes turned bright orange with a pattern of yellow flame along the bottom. A bright yellow hat appeared and sat crookedly in between her buns; which were now hot pink.

Many heads turned as the new teacher walked briskly up to the teachers' table; her open robes fanning out behind her, and she could hear her friends laughing behind her. Taking her seat on Dumbledore's left hand she could tell that that the old man was trying hard not to chuckle, but McGonagall was gaping at her open mouthed.

Cheers and applause started from her friends at the Gryffindor table and spread out to include all the houses. Serenity stood and acknowledged the crowd. With a wave of her wand glowing neon signs in each houses' colors appeared above their tables bearing the House name. A giant clear tube rimmed the edge of the ceiling and a glowing orange light whizzed around the room, again and again. Taking a bow she sat back down - a bright splash of color amongst the dull.

Needless to say, almost everyone was looking forward to her class - she only enhanced this by announcing at the end of breakfast that they wouldn't need their Charms' books all week.

Serenity looked down at her teaching schedule. It read as follows:

It was Wednesday.

She finished the last of her French toast, grabbed a piece of bacon and headed out of the hall. The moment her trailing foot stepped across the doorway the neon signs and whizzing lights disappeared in a puff of smoke.

*&^*&^*&^*&^*&^*&^*&^*&^*&^*

Serenity munched quietly on her strip of bacon as she hurried up to her room. Upon reaching it she removed the mattresses and tidied up the rest of her room.

Minutes later her friends were lounged around her room in various states of relaxation.

"I can't believe we don't have you until tomorrow…" Remus said quietly.

"I STILL can't believe you're a TEACHER!" Sirius gushed.

"WE KNOW ALREADY!"

"Yeah well I'd love to stay and chat, but I have to get ready for my Second Year class. Lily, you can move your stuff into my room before potions."

Serenity grabbed her wand and a small bag and headed out the door. "Oh, and the password for my room is 'Silver Moons'."

"Don't forget your robes…" Remus called after her.

Serenity came rushing back into the room. Grabbing her robe, that she had flung on her bed earlier, she gave Remus a peck on the cheek.

"Thanks, Remy. McGonagall would've had a litter of Hungarian Horntails if I was only wearing 'Muggle' clothing."

!@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*()!

Thursday:

Serenity looked up from her magazine as the first group of her 8 o'clock class poured in. It was a bunch of Slytherins followed closely by her friends from Gryffindor.

She waved them into the room and then went back to reading her witch magazine, and eating her peanut-butter toast. Her robes - now a shocking lime green with hot pink sparkles - were draped haphazardly over the back of her chair and matched her outfit perfectly. She was wearing a sparkling magenta, 3/4's length shirt that could only sparkle at every turn because of a Charm. The bright green streaks that were clearly visible in her high ponytail matched perfectly with her jeans that were decorated along the seams with green glitter.

More students piled in, and Serenity finished her breakfast, and popped several mints in her mouth. Soon everyone was inside, and she addressed them without standing, "Now as I'm sure you've all noticed there are no desks in this room. As part of your first lesson you'll be required to conjure yourself a cushion to sit on. This charm will help you build character, blah, blah, BLAH!" Serenity peered closer at a piece of paper on her desk. "Who writes this crap?"

There were a few snickers throughout the room. Serenity crumbled the piece of paper into a ball and shot it - basketball style - into the recycling bin. "Much better. Besides all that mumbo-jumbo, what greater skill is there than learner how to conjure pillows?!" All of the Gryffindors were chuckling, but the Slytherins glared at her. "Well, I'm sure SOME of you would rather be learning the Dark Arts, but while in MY classroom you will humor me, or I will turn you into a fluffy-PINK-teddy bear!" The astonished looks on the Slytherins' faces caused the Gryffindors to laugh even harder.

"Moving right along…Oh yes. You can use this charm for sleeping, slumber parties, pillow fights, barricades, and, yes, even self-defense! Now the words are 'Rulificus Siftien.' If you need help don't hesitate to give me a holler. Trust me - I remember 5th year…" She added sympathetically.

They spent, roughly, half an hour creating dozens of pillows in rainbows of colors, though some of them were rather disfigured.

"Good job - you guys were much faster than the other years. Now we still have an hour left......let's go for a walk."

Serenity picked up her wand, and levitated everyone's things behind her. Everyone stared at her as if she had grown three heads. One particularly bold and surly looking Slytherin looked suspiciously at her and growled. "None of the teacher's take us on walks - what are we REALLY doing?"

Serenity thought for a moment, matching a name to the surly face. "Well, Severus…I could tell you, but…that would ruin the surprise!" She said, grinning mischievously. Pulling herself up to her full height - which was about four inches taller than Snape - she assumed a pompous, snide voice that bore a striking resemblance to McGonagall's.

"Now move along! I am the professor here, do not question my authority." With a wink she slid out the doorway and down the hall. Everyone stared after in confusion, until Sirius took off running to catch up with her, and the other students followed suit - the Slytherins only because SHE had their bags.



!@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*()!

They stopped their walk on a huge hill out by the lake.

Ok - this lesson is about Seeking Charms. Probably one of THE MOST boring lessons EVER! But - now that I'm teaching it, we all know that'll change, don't we?"

She conjured some pillows for herself, and then flopped down on her stomach; the students following her example. "As you know many things in the magical world are hidden to the untrained eye. In fact! Your parents probably used this Charm to hid the cookies from you, when you were little."

Some of the student chuckled.

"To learn the Seeking Charm, I'm going to 'hide' these, all over this hill, and you must use the Seeking Charm to find them." Reaching into her bag she pulled out a large box of chocolate frogs.

[Disaparrys!]

The candies promptly disappeared. With a wave of her wand a slight whizzing was heard as she sent the candy frogs to different places along the field.

"Now wave your wands in the shape of a triangle and then stick your wand in the middle of that triangle and say 'Mira Seek'. If there are any things in the view of the triangle that are under the Hidden Charm, they will appear."

Their eyes went wide in amazement, and Sirius and James were licking their lips in anticipation.

"Well what are you waiting for?"

The students scrambled to their feet, and ran out over the hill picking different spots to start practicing. Serenity looked nervously at the students who were waving their wands madly about, and added, " And please do not direct the Charm at any person…..bad case that was in Africa ….."

The main problem was that most students weren't completing their triangles. They weren't connecting their first line with their last. This was easily fixed by using a small 'lumos' spell that left a glittering trail behind your wand so you could see your triangle.

The bell rang out clearly over the grounds, and the students wandered back into the castle chattering excitedly about their unique class/teacher and munching on chocolate frogs.

!@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*()!

R&R PLEASE!!
