Dan, Tom, Rupert, and Emma walked warily into Defense Against the Dark Arts, afraid they would see terrible things. Their mentors laughed at them, and said, "Don't worry. This Snape is easier to get along with!"
Keira waited until everyone was settled down. "All right everyone. As we have guests today, we are going to have some fun and activities today. Boggarts, pixies, and then some general spell-casting, to show them what all of this is about."
The class passed quickly, especially with the marauding pixies, which Professor Snape controlled better than Lockhart ever had. Hermione Stunned five, Harry and Ron caught three with their bare hands, and even Dan caught one under the trash can. They then all settled down again. Dan raised a hand. "Umm, in the book that JK Rowling wrote…Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry successfully fights the Imperius curse. I was wondering if everyone in class could try."
Keira thought for a moment. I don't suppose why not…all right. Harry, show them how it's done."
She pointed her wand at him. "Imperio!" she said. Harry suddenly got an intense look on his face. "Dance like a monkey, Harry….Dance like a monkey…" Keira murmured. Nothing. "I won't make a fool of myself, Professor!" said Harry, finally. "Excellent Harry. Fifteen points to Gryffindor! Next!" Dan raised his hand.
"Very well. Stand up, Dan." She raised her wand again…. "Imperio!" she cried. Dan immediately jumped onto his desk and did a tap dance. Keira then endeed the spell and looked at Dan. "That was pitiful. However, you've never done this before, so it's all right."
The rest of the class passed similarly. At the end, everyone looked at their schedule. Harry grumbled. "Potions with Greasy Snape. I hate that class." Hermione poked him and gestured toward Keira. "Don't say that," she muttered. "It's not his fault!"
Muttering to each other, the kids and their mentora walked down the halls to the dungeons. As they arrived, Snape looked up. "You're late," he growled. "Five points from Gryffindor."
A/N:
Yes, I know. Another short chapter. It's the only way I can update!
I really need a beta reader. If you wish to…volunteer, please email or instant message me.
The Nut: Thank You
Severus' Potions Mistress: Good Idea. Need to write me a chapter to have that happen, but will most definitely incorporate that. Wouldn't it be hysterical?
