"What?" said Harry. "What is it?" "Look yourself!" Ron's ears went pink. He
swallowed many times and blinked. Harry looked impatiently in the
classroom, and was as surprised as Ron was. Cause the new DADA professor
was.
"Fleur Delacour?" said Hermione in a flat tone. "Hii!" said Fleur and
walked to them. She was looking just as stunning as last year. "Uh."
managed Ron to say. "Hi," said Hermione. "Why are you here?" Fleur smiled a
magnificent smile. "I m'improoving my engleezh. When ze Defenze 'gainzt ze
dark artz vaz available I zerched for ze job at onze. Dumblydorre said I
coould have eet. I learned a lot from lazt year at the tri-wizard
toor'nament." Ron swallowed one more time and blushed. "That's nice," he
said in an odd voice. Fleur smiled at him again. "Why don't you go and zeet
down?" she said. They sat down at the front, and other Gryffindor's came
in, and they were all surprised. When everyone had come in, Fleur started.
"I zink," she said, "I zink we will have some dueleeng. I pick up.you." She
pointed at Ingy. "Come here, Vieeld. Now, zhee iz tryeeng to duel wiz mee.
Ok?" Ingy nodded. "Wee weell start now." Ingy got her wand up super fast,
and said in her usual, cold, voice before Fleur could do anything;
"Expelliarmus!" Fleur's wand shot out of her hand, and in Ingy's hand.
Fleur was thrown into the wall. She din't look hurt; she looked very
pleased. "Très bien, Mademoiselle! Ten points to Gryfeendor!" Ingy smiled
and looked at the floor. "May I have my wand back, pleese?" she asked and
smiled. Ingy reached Fleur her wand. "Anyone elze like zo try?" she said.
When they were walking to Herbology, they were talking excited about the last lesson. Both Harry and Ron had also tried to defeat Fleur. Harry had managed it, but Ron hadn't. Although Harry got some jelly legs, but he managed to take her. He had also been to the Tri-Wizard tournament. Ingy, Ron, Harry and Hermione thought that dueling was great. "Hi!" said Ernie MacMillan to them when they got there. Hermione waved, and they walked to him. His friend, Hanna Abott was also there. "How's it going?" said Ron. "Not bad, not bad," said Ernie. "This year we're taking OWLs, I'll tell you that is something I don't look forward to!" Hermione looked down on the ground. "Me neither," said Ron. "That must be horrible." Ernie's eye caught Hermione's prefect badge. "Congrats, Hermione! A prefect, eh?" Hermione blushed and smiled proudly, "yep, a prefect." She looked on the ground again. Ernie looked at Ingy. "Who are you?" he said. "Are you some of the exchange students? I belive we have your brother in Hufflepuff. Hawk, is that his name?" Ingy nodded, and looked away. Just like the first time she met me, thought Harry. Ingy wasn't very friendly as usual. Ernie walked away. Harry and Ron took a table together, and Ingy joined Hermione. Then professor Sprout came in, holding some large cages with some men-eating plants in it. "Hello class," she said. "This is Man Eating Mountain-Bluebell. They are very dangerous. Everyone, put on your dragon-hide gloves. You'll be working in pairs. Does anyone know why this plant is in the 'Man Eating' category?" Hermione's and Ingy's hand shot up. "Yes?" said professor Sprout to Hermione. "Man Eating Moutain-Bluebell or Mountain-Monster are very dangerous. It's sharp teeth and big mouth makes it able of eating people." "Correct," said Professor Sprout. "Ten points to Gryffindor. Do you know what happens to a man after he's been eating by this plant?" Ingy's and Hermione's hands shot up again. "Vieeld," said Professor Sprout. "After the Man Eating Mountain-Bluebell has eaten a man, the man turns into a bright green acid which is in the flowers 'body'. This acid is used in potions, and it's healing." "Good. Ten points to Gryffindor," said professor Sprout. "I've been feeding these Mountain-Monsters with rats and pigs. They're very fat now. I want you to cut them, and take the acid in bottles. Now, I'll get you one plant per pair. Okay?" The class muttered "okay," and Harry sighed. "Why is everything in Herbology so dangerous?" he said. "Don't ask me," replied Ron. Ingy and Hermione had already started working. They didn't seem to have any problems with 'killing' the plant. The acid poured down in the bottles. "Excellent!" said professor Sprout to them and ignored Harry's and Ron's major problems with their plant. Finally they managed to put a knife in it, but the acid didn't hit the bottle, but the table, and burnt a big hole in it.
"That was haard!" moaned Ron at lunch, after that acid plant. Hermione rolled her eyes to Ingy, and Ingy smiled. "Double Divination next!" said Harry sadly. "Too bad for you, then," said Hermione. "I'm having Arithmancy first, and then ancient runes. Ingy as well." "Are you taking ancient runes?" asked Ron in disapproval. "Yep," said Ingy. "What's wrong with that?" Then she took up a book written with runes and showed it to Hermione. "This book is written on the rune alphabeth Futhark," she said. "I hope these lessons also are with Futhark." "They are," said Hermione. "Can I see the book?" Ingy handed the book to her. "Cool." she said. "Can I borrow it?" Ingy nodded. "It's very good to have if you're taking OWLs in this subject. I am. In all the subject. Help." Hermione smiled. "I have to get good grades, since I'm a prefect." Harry heard pride I her voice when she said the word 'Prefect'. "Well, then," said Ron, "we'll have to get to the Divination class now. See you later!" Hermione and Ingy waved, and continued talking about Ingy's Futhark book.
Trelawney was already there when Harry and Ron got up. Lavender and Parvati was also there, their eyes shining in admiration. "My dears," she said, "I think, we will have some repetation. Take your crystall balls, please." They took up their crystall balls. "Now," said the professor floating, "you know what to do. Just gaze in the ball, and you'll See things beyond your eye! There's nothing the inner eye can't see." She was starting to babble again. Harry started to gaze in the crystal ball. To his horror, Professor Trelawney came and 'helped' him. "Oh," she said, and her eyes went even bigger when she saw in the ball, "beware of a person you know. I See dead people," she said. "Death is going to be over Hogwarts this year. Watch out, my dear." Harry didn't believe this, so he continued to gaze in the ball, with no luck.
