Chapter 6-The Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher Again
When they woke up the next morning, they all headed down to the Great Hall for breakfast. They were anxious to find out who the new Defence Against the Dark Arts was, and many different rumours had spread around. Pavarti Patil said it Gilderoy Lockhart was going to teach again, but in second-year, after he used Ron's wand to perform a Memory Charm on him, he completely forgot who he was, and was never seen in the wizarding world again. Lavender Brown said Professor Lupin was coming back. Harry had really no clue who was going to be their teacher, but he had hoped it wasn't someone who looked at his scar all the time. Harry really didn't want to talk about the new Defence teacher, so he decided to talk to Joey instead.
"I really hope they have some exciting things for the fifth-years, you know?" he asked.
"Yeah, I know. I heard you guys had the Yule Ball last year. You got stuck with little Pavarti, didn't you? Oh, I can't wait to go to Hogsmeade; I heard it's really exciting." Joey really had alot to talk about, and it seemed that she had forgiven Harry for the little incident yesterday.
"Yeah, that was really fun. McGonagall says she's had a special event planned, something that hasn't been held for over 25 years."
"Oh really? Well, I gotta look out for that one then." When they had done breakfast, they went up to get their things for the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, then headed off. It seemed, everywhere they went, Joey was surrounded by the whole of Gryffindor house, and Ron and Hermione didn't help. They always talked off in their little own conversations, leaving Harry stuck between the crowd of idols. By the time they reached the classroom, the slowed slid away, one by one, until it left the two of them alone, Ron and Hermione following behind them. The only people that remained were the Gryffindor fifth-years, who also had Defense with them (Duh!). When they entered the classroom, they found not a new teacher that they hadn't known, but Mad-Eye Moody.
"Welcome, our fifth-years. And Harry Potter. Well, sit down now, we don't want to waste time." The students got settled and let Professor Moody keep talking. "Today, as our first class, we will introduce you to-beginner auror spells. You'll need these, if you're settling on a career as an auror, which, hopefully, will be some of you. Now, I'll have you take notes down. Remember, you'll need to get yourself prepared for the O.W.L's at the end of the year." Professor Moody spent half an hour talking about basic auror spells and charms, which made half of the class fall asleep. He also told them about the basic dark spells, spells that most evil wizards, like Voldemort (Ron flinched at the name) would use. "Now, for homework, reading the first chapter about reflective spells-spells that will most likey reflect the black magic back. Next lesson, we will be talking about defending yourselves with very basic charms!" The bell rang, and the students got out.
"I can't wait for Care of Magical Creatures! I hope Hagrid's got some new-" Hermione elbowed Ron in the stomach, which made him flinch. "Don't get your hopes up high, Ron, he'll probably bring out some foul creature that explodes by itself."
"He did bring those Nifflers last year. They were fun, Hermione, too bad you missed it." reminded Harry. It was pretty normal for Hermione and Ron to be fighting and arguing all the time, most of them had gotten used to it.
At the field, Hagrid seemed to be waiting for them, with a few boxes or so of "things" inside of them. Most of the students hoped they weren't Blast-Ended Skrewts. In fact, they were surprised to see somewhat of a change.
"'Ello, 'ello, come 'round, come 'round 'ere. Now, today's lesson will be 'n...Goosecows!" Hagrid pointed to the Goosecows over by the crates. The Goosecows didn't look like Gooses or Cows at all. In fact, they were almost like Unicorns, in a different way.
"Mainly used fer transpertain', these 'ittle ones 're. Goosecows 're rare, you'll never be able to find 'em in yer common woods, no. They're breeded at a special place in London, 'n the're sorta similer to Unicorns, the Coosecows are. Durin' the next few classes, yer gonna have to take a Goosecow, and teach it some tricks. It ain't easy, I'll be tellin' yer that. So I'm allowin' yer to have a partner for this 'ere project. By two weeks, yer mus' be able ta show me five tricks, simple 'n consistent. The Goosecow also has ta fly from a certain spot to another. But a warnin' to yer all: be gentle wit' the Goosecows; they don't enjoy yellin's at.This lesson will only be a plannin' stage, enjoy!" After Hagrid's long explanation, Joey and Harry immediately went for each other. Ron was with Hermione, they didn't argue much, and poor Dean had to go with Seamus.
"Okay, why don't we teach it...oh, I've got it! We should throw something at it, then it would jump and do a backflip or something like that." Harry said. He couldn't think, because Draco and his lackies were teasing him.
"Oh my, look at Potter and his girlfriend! Are you doing all the thinking, Potter? Or is your girlfriend too stupid to even think?" Draco began to laugh horribly.
"Shut up Malfoy. Or else..." Harry said.
"Ooo, shut up? Are you sticking up for your girlfriend?" Draco said in a little girl's voice.
"She's not my girlfriend!"
"Now, now there, boys, let's all get back ter work, there we go." Hagrid had to calm Harry down a little bit, and then allowed him to start working again.
"You didn't have to stick up for me, you know." Joey was pretty annoyed at the fact, that, Harry was acting a bit over-protective. Harry went silent.
For the next hour or so, they worked on what tricks that were going to teach their Goosecows. After that, they stuck a badge that each said their names, and Hagrid dismissed them. That was the last of Joey he ever saw that day, after having to put up with Dean yaking to her all through Potions. Snape took away ten points for that.
