A/N: Sorry this took so long!! I'm not over my writers block! Also, I was working out the married couples and how old their kids would be, and what their kids names would be, so all those loser with no lives who simply look for stories to criticize wouldn't have anything to bitch about. But not all my math is correct. There are three children, Matthew, Allison, and Suzette (not giving away their parents yet!), who are first years (Age 11), and due to their mother would actually have had them when they were only 16, but I wanted these certain people to have children, so who gives a freak? Well, I know my loyal fans don't, but those losers I mentioned previously do. Sorry for rambling on so long! Go ahead and read!

Chapter Seven -
Fortunately, They Aren't Dunderheads
***************************************************
The following Monday, Harry's first class was first years. Gryffindors and Ravenclaws. ' Thankfully, not Gryffindors and Slytherin. ' he thought happily, ' And hopefully they're not a bunch of dunderheads, as Snape would say. ' Harry was sitting behind his desk when they filed in. When they were all seated, Harry took a deep breath, and stood up to address the class.
" Good morning everyone. " Harry began, " I'm Professor Potter, obviously. " ' God, Professor Potter? ' he thought, ' That sounds so weird. ' The class was silent, waiting for him to continue.
" Anyway, I suppose we'll start with making sure that you're all here. " Harry decided, picking up his list of students. He smiled as he saw many familiar names. ' I hope I see them soon. ' Harry thought, ' Well, I've already seen Neville. Neglected to mention he was married and had a kid though. Who's his wife? ' Harry noted to ask him about this later.
" Benton, Tyler? " he questioned, looking around.
" Here. " answered a small boy with mousy brown hair. Harry placed a check by his name and continued.
(A/N: Sorry to interrupt, but I will be going through the ENTIRE class! 16 people! 8 from each house, 4 boys and 4 girls per house. Hope you don't get to bored.)
" Denison, Lucille? "
" Present. " responded a thin girl with strawberry blonde curls,
" And I'd prefer Lucy. " Harry nodded and made note of this. He smiled at the next name.
" Finnigan, Matthew? "
" Matt. " a brunette of medium-height informed him. Harry knew this to be the only child of Seamus and Lavender Finnigan (after being informed of the names of all their old school friends children the night after the arrival feast). He went on.
" Harrison, Nicole? "
" Yeah. " called a tall black girl with long ebony hair. She was dressed all in black. Harry raised an eyebrow, but said nothing.
" Jordan, Eileen? "
" Here. " Harry looked over at the athletic looking blonde with tan skin. She looked remarkably like her mother, but with her fathers eyes. ' Always knew Lee and Katie would get together. ' he thought to himself.
" Keller, Christian? "
" Over here. " replied a muscular brunette boy. Harry also smiled at the next name. Harry hadn't seen Neville's kid yet, but he had a good idea which girl it was from her looks.
" Longbottom, Suzette? "
" Present. " a small girl with black hair whispered almost inaudibly. It was the girl Harry had guessed. She had familiar facial features, but they weren't Neville's. ' His wife must have gone to Hogwart's too. ' he reasoned.
" Nelson, Natalie? "
" Here. " a girl from the back row said. She had brown hair down to her waist and looked very bored.
" Parker, David? "
" What? " yawned a tall black-haired boy. His hair was gelled into spikes and he looked as if he had just awoken from a nap.
" We're taking roll, Mr. Parker. " Harry smiled slightly, " You may go back to sleep for now, but I'd advise asking Miss Harrison to nudge you when class has begun. " He glanced at the girl in black next to him, and back to David, who looked slightly surprised not to have house points taken away.
" Simon, Kimberly? "
" Here. " answered a voice from the front row. Harry looked up and saw a girl with shoulder-length blonde hair smiling.
" Thomas, Allison? "
" Mhmm. " murmured a dark-skinned girl with bun of black hair atop her head. Harry also knew that this was the child of Dean and Parvati Thomas. Harry looked back at the list in front of him and saw four Weasleys were also in his class.
" Weasley, Melody? "
" Yes, I'm over here. " said a blonde with light green eyes. A slight grin appeared on Harry's lips as he recognized the silvery-blonde hair. This was Bill and Fleur's daughter.
" Weasley, Nathan? "
" I'm present, sir. " replied a brunette with dark blue eyes adorned with horn-rimmed glasses. Harry almost laughed out loud. ' Only Percy's kid could be that formal. ' he thought. Nathan was obviously Percy and Penelope's youngest, they had a third year daughter in Ravenclaw.
" Weasley, Robert? "
" What's up? " responded a red-head with green eyes from his left side. Eileen snickered. Harry raised an eyebrow. Nathan raised his hand.
" Yes Nathan? " asked Harry.
" He is not Robert. " Nathan informed him.
" Nathan, can't you ever just shut your mouth? " another red-head, almost identical to the one who claimed to be Robert.
" Let me guess. " inquired Harry, " You're Robert? " He glanced at the boy who told Nathan to shut up. He frowned slightly and nodded. Harry shook his head and chuckled slightly, " Just like your father's, obviously. " Robert (who Harry knew to be Fred and Angelina's) and the Robert-imposter Harry knew was William (George and Alicia's son), looked slightly surprised. They were also wondering why Harry hadn't taken house points.
" You knew my dad? " Robert asked.
" The famous Weasley twins. " Harry smiled, " I knew them very well actually. Not only were they my fellow Quidditch beaters, but your I happen to know your entire family quite well. I spent many a happy Christmas at the Burrow. " All the Weasley's in the room grinned.
" But we can talk more about that later. " Harry halted the barrage of questions he knew they wanted to ask. They looked slightly disappointed, but recovered quickly.
" Wilkes, Jack? " he called out the last name on his list. As if on cue, a boy with sandy blonde hair burst through the door. He was deathly pale. Harry knew that look. He had seen it on many frightened first years back in his Hogwarts days. The boy went slowly to an empty seat, shaking slightly.
" Snape? " Harry inquired. The boy looked up with wide eyes and nodded.
" How did you know? "
" I saw that look enough in my day to know what it means. " Harry chuckled, " And you are Mr. Wilkes? " The boy nodded again.
" Very well, let's get started. " Harry announced. " I would like you to first get into groups of four. Let me know when you have chosen your group and let me know. " The class bustled around and after a few moments, William and Robert came up to his desk.
" Who's in your group? " Harry asked, picking up a piece of parchment and a quill.
" Eileen, Melody, and us. " Robert told him. Harry wrote this down.
" Very well, go wait with your group until I give further instructions. " They walked off, and Christian came up next.
" Nicole, David, Natalie, and me. " he said, before walking quickly back to his group. Lucy arrived before his desk.
" Tyler, Kimberly, Jack, and me. " He told her to return to her group. Last was Suzette.
" Matt, Nathan, Allison, and me. " she whispered. He smiled at her and she smiled back, before returning to her group. Harry stood up once more.
" I want each group to choose three magical creatures that they would like to study this month. Write them down on a piece of parchment and hand them in. " he told them, " But mind, don't choose anything to dangerous, or I won't be able to bring one in. You can refer to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them if you happen to have one with you. If not, I have a few copies up here. " They set to work. Harry had decided to get the students opinions on what they should study, since they were the ones that had to learn it. He wanted his class to be interesting, like Professor Lupin's class had been. And definitely NOT like Professor Binn's class. It was about 20 minutes before all the parchments were handed in. Harry looked over them.
" Alright, three particular creatures seem to appear the most often, so we're going to vote. " Harry whispered a spell and wrote the names of the three animals upon the air.
" Everyone only vote once please! " Harry reminded them, " Raise your hand if you would like to study Lethifolds. "
Tyler, Christian, Kimberly, and Jack raised their hands. Harry made three tally marks by Lethifold.
" Who would like to study Basilisks? " Harry wasn't pleased with this choice. He knew it was probably because they wanted to hear about the Chamber of Secrets, and Harry never enjoyed telling that story. Despite his wishes, several hands went up.
Nicole, Eileen, Suzette, Melody, Nathan, Robert, and William voted. Harry put seven tally marks next to Basilisks.
" And finally, who wishes to study Mooncalves? "
The hands of Lucy, Matt, Natalie, David, and Allison were raised. Harry sighed. ' Damn Basilisks. ' he thought glumly.
" Very well. We will begin our study on Basilisks on Wednesday. " Harry announced. " And if any of you have any additional information on Basilisks, feel free to bring them in. You're dismissed. "
Harry was pissed. He hated telling that damn Chamber of Secrets story. He knew he'd have to bring in that stupid Basilisk fang. Dumbledore had personally removed all the poison from it and returned it to Harry in his fifth year. ' Stupid fang. Stupid Basilisk. Stupid Tom Riddle. Stupid diary. ' Harry thought miserably.
That bastard Lucius Malfoy and his stupid Voldemort's diary. Bloody Death Eater prat.
*End of Chapter 7*
A/N: Okay! I think I'm over my writers block finally!! Yay! Go me! I have a feeling I might do a few chapters from the kids point of view. I have some romantic inspirations coming to me concerning them. And if you're wondering, Percy and Penelope's eldest daughter is a third year Ravenclaw named Charlotte. And Suzette's mom is Susan Bones. And in case you aren't sure, the first year Gryffindors are: Matt, Eileen, Suzette, Allison, Melody, Nathan, Robert, and William. The first year Ravenclaws are: Tyler, Lucy, Nicole, Christian, Natalie, David, Kimberly, and Jack. Okay, hopefully I will get to the next chapter soon since I'm done with my evil writer's block. And don't forget to vote for the subjects of my next fanfiction! Go to my homepage on my profile!!
