The Extra Lesson
_________________
That night at supper a note was delivered to all students in 5th year and above. Dallas red;
A new Class will be put in place for all students in 5th year and above after the last lesson of the day at three. The class is taught jointly by Professor Vyusher, Professor Mcgonagall, Professor Snape, Hagrid and Professor Dumbledore. It is a mixture of Defence Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration/Animagi, and Care of Magical Creatures. You are expected to be prompt to each lesson.
"What is this about?" whistled Dallas _________________ Chanti looked up from her own letter.
"What did you say?" she asked.
"I said what is this all about?" he repeated and brandished the letter in the air.
"I dunno," she said, looking down the tables. Ron Weasley was making a scene as usual at the Gryffindor table. _________________
As soon as they finished eating, Dallas and Chanti got up from the table. Chanti waved at Ankie as they passed, Harry sat next to her, and beside him sat Ron and Hermione. Further down the table sat Weasley twins, Lee Jordan and even further down sat Selenay, sitting by herself. Dallas met her eyes and he waved at her. Chanti looked down the table to see who he had waved at, but just then someone shoved her forward.
"Move it," said Pansy Parkison. "This isn't the mall."
"The what?" Chanti asked, trying to keep her composure.
"Get out of my way, will you!" Pansy seethed.
Dallas was fed up with Slytherin, as Chanti moved out of the way, Dallas stepped in front of her, blocking the whole line of Slytherins once more.
"Uhh!" Pansy spated, and thrust her way past him.
"No manners," Dallas chuckled, "this isn't a wrestling arena."
She scowled at him, and muttered something that sounded like "worthless' and he had a wild urge to trip her as she stomped off.
"Ooo, tough guy," said a sly voice. Draco Malfoy drew near them, Crabbe and Goyle swayed with spurting grunts. "Draco. Bugger off." a voice snapped.
People turned in surprise. There stood Selenay her eyes flashing angrily. "I thought you were had some semblance of manners but obviously not. Grow up and stop acting like spoilt brats. Or maybe that's just a trait all Slytherins share in common."
Gracefully she moved through the crowd and was gone before Draco could think of a reply. Draco and his crony's embarrassed and humiliated slunk off towards the dungeons.
Dallas raised an eyebrow and said " She doesn't waste words does she?'
Chanti nodded slowly and a grin lit up her face.
"That showed them." she replied. _________________
Draco entered the potions classroom with his two 'friends' looking for his cousin. She sat alone at the back near Potter, Granger and Weasly. His lip curled back in distaste at the sight of them. He nodded for Crabbe and Goyle to take the desk next to Selenay's and he slipped into the seat next to her.
"What's up Cuz?" he drawled lazily. "What would you care?" she snapped.
A hurt look flickered quickly across his face. People looked around quickly and then looked back towards the front ears straining to hear Malfoy's reply.
"Believe it or not I do care." he said lowering his voice looking into her eyes with an intense look on his face.
She matched him stare for stare. He blushed and looked down. "Is that so?" she drawled
Under the desk he covered her hand with his. She started in surprise and looked at him. _________________
"I'm serious," he said, putting his free hand through his greased hair. He risked a glance at Potter, who was talking with Granger and Weasel.
"Why don't you trust me?" he asked her.
"I have my reasons," she answered, and looked away.
Draco smiled, "I know what you're up too," he whispered in her ear. She continued to stare at the wall at the front of the classroom.
"What are you on about?" she laughed. Draco gripped her hand, and she looked back into his cold gaze. He winked at her, and then got up to join Crabbe and Goyle's table. "We'll chat again soon," he told her assuredly. The colours of her irises spazzed, but she stayed nonchalant. _________________ "What is this new class all about?" Dallas asked a startled Professor McGonagall in the corridor. She had a several large books in her arms, and she appeared to be in a rush.
"Did you read the letter?" she asked him quickly.
"Uh, yea, of course, but I was wondering . . ."
"I'm not able to discuss that at the moment, Mr., ah . . "
"Mathias"
"Yes, Mr. Mathias, I am a bit preoccupied." _________________
He found Chanti outside of the Hufflepuff common room. She punched him on the shoulder.
"You're first game is tomorrow, right?"
"Yep. We're playing Slytherin," he replied, his mind nowhere near quidditch.
"When did you start knowing Selenay?" she asked.
"Oh, I saw her around," Chanti could tell by the way he wasn't looking at her that he wasn't going to reveal much about it willingly.
"Whatever," she said, grinning. "That was nice of her to stick up for us like that. Usually Gryffindors are so . . . I dunno, caught up in themselves?"
"What are you talking about?" Dallas questioned her. "Did you get into a fight with Kacie or something?"
"Well, not a fight, not really," she said, but her hands slapped together in her irritated, nervous shudder.
"What happened?" he pryed her. "Tell me."
"I'll talk to you about it later," she said, peering down the corridor. Dallas looked too, and saw Ankie walking with Harry toward a winding staircase to their left. _________________
The door opened to the Great Hall.
"You're late Shadow," growled Professor Snape in Selenay's ear.
"Whatever." she replied.
She watched in amusement as Professor Snapes face started to go red and quickly moved away from him before the fireworks really started. She joined her housemates slipping in between Dallas and Harry Potter.
Dallas elbowed her, grinned and whispered, "So you made it."
"Of course I did," she said raising her eyebrow at him, "I wanted to see what hare brained idea Professor Vyusher has come up with this time."
"You know Professor Vyusher?!?" exclaimed Chant, leaning over Dallas.
"Doesn't everybody?" Selenay asked in amusement.
Chanti flushed saying "You know what I mean!"
"Do I?" came the reply.
Chanti glared and opened her mouth to make a cutting reply but Dallas gave her a warning glance, and said to her "What she means is did you know Professor Vyusher before you came to Hogwarts?"
"I know what she meant. And yes I did know her before. She taught at my old school." Selenay said.
"And she's the reason I came here." she murmured to herself.
"Pardon?" said Dallas.
"Er...nothing!" she smiled. _________________
"Good afternoon gadies and lentlemen" said a cheerful Professor Vyusher.
A nervous titter filled the Great Hall.
"I bet you folks all wonder what you're doing here." Professor Vyusher said.
"Well as you know the note stated that this is a combination of many of the different major classes you already study at the present moment. Well this class is called Magical Geogrpahical Studies."
Groans filled the air. "Yes, yes I know you might think this will be extremely boring but it is necessary considering the new revelations. 'Lord' Voldemort has allied himself with some of the World's most deadly, evil Magicians and creatures alive." Professor Vyusher snapped, her usually cheerful demeanour was gone. An intense look filled her face.
Selenay listened to the terrified gasps, and said, "So the rumours are true Professor? Australia's deadliest troublemakers have moved over here?"
Faces turned to her, the quiet intense transfer student. "Yes, Selenay they have and since you know them so well how about you come and take the class."
Selenay blanched." Are you serious?' she cried.
"Totally. Come here." Professor demanded. They both glared at each other neither one giving an inch.
"Fine." snapped Selenay, with a toss of her head she slowly walked to the front.
Once up there she turned nervously towards the teachers and said "What do you want the animals or the humans?"
"The animals." Professor Vyusher said quickly, trying to read Selenay's emotions.
From underneath her robes slenay pulled out a star like creation and threw it into the air. It spread out into a big screen behind her.
"Well my compatriots these are the the foulest, most evil creations alive who are now working for your pitiful Voldemort." She smirked.
"Lord Voldemort is nothing to be taken lightly." Snape spat out.
"Who's taking the class, you or me." Selenay demanded glaring at him. Dallas sucked in his breath at Selenay's cheek.
"Anyway, what I was saying before I was rudely interupted," Selenay said glaring at Snape.
A picture started to form on the screen. "This is a Stormwing. It loves to feed on dead bodies. They can usually be seen in Muggle Wars feeding on the dead bodies. Muggles think they're hallucinating when they see them. They smell something terrible and are extremely deadly. They have their own brand of magic and cannot do our magic. This is what makes them dangerous for the knowledge of what their powers is like is limited." Selenay said pointing to the picture. On it was a bird made of metal. Its face was that of a human with fangs. "Australians have treaties with All clans except the rebel Scarwing clan."
" I will talk to you about some of Australia's allies as well. The 11 guardians will come later. But first I will talk to you about killer centaurs, killer unicorns, tauros, Spidrens. All live with in Australia's climate. " Selenay said into the entralled silence.
Dallas looked at her in amazement. I don't think anyones seen Selenay like this. She's so passionate! She obviously knows what she is talking about. _________________
Chanti looked over her shoulder and saw Draco, Crabbe, Goyle, and the rest of the Slytherin collective slumming in the back corner of the hall.
"This is bloody boring," she said to Dallas.
"Shhh," he whispered at her, putting his index finger over her mouth.
She rolled her eyes, and looked back up at Selenay, who was now talking about the numerous unsuccessful attacks wizards have made on Stormwing clans. Professor Snape looked livid.
"And now to the..."
"Thankyou very much for sharing your extensive knowledge on all the dangerous animals who have allied with Lord Voldemort now we better let people ask questions." interrupted Professor Vyusher. She quickly pushed Selenay away. A look of utter confusion flickered across Selenay's face, which was replaced with her usual implacable mask. _________________
Selenay watched the hordes pour out the door slowly following in their wake.
"Are you coming to Quidditch Practice?" Dallas asked Chanti.
"Yeah, Ok." she smiled.
"Good. I'll meet you there I just have to run off and get my broom." came the reply as Dallas ran off to the common room.
Chanti walked towards the door.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the little Hufflepuff seeker's girlfriend," a sneering voice said. Slytherins moved in on her from all sides. Chantis eyes widened and she paced back a few paces.
"As punishment to your boyfriend for his rude behaviour to Pansy were going to show him not to mess with us Slytherins." Draco snarled. "You got lucky when Selenay interrupted but not this time."
"Lay one hand on her and I'll put my fist through your face" a voice growled. A hand caught hold of Chantis wrist and hauled her through the crowd. "I mean it Draco. I'm not messing around."
An angry Selenay hauled Chanti through the great hall doors. She promptly let go of Chanti's wrist and stormed out the entrance doors.
