A TALE OF TWO PROFESSORS

CHAPTER 4

BY CELTIC GUARDIAN PRINCESS

CGP: Hey, Ryoko, sorry I made you call him and old geezer. Well, the first classes of both Ryoko and Kassie, just for the Hell of it.

Lupin: You never told them what Kita looks like.

CGP: I'll tell them when I plan to add her in. I might not. I KNEW YOU COULDN'T PRONOUNCE THAT CURSE! HAH! I KNOW ALL!

Lupin: On with the fic.

Disclaimer: No. Don't own.

            Ryoko entered the classroom just as the last person was sitting down. "Welcome to Defense Against the Dark Arts. I am Professor Ryoko A. Dracula. You will call me either Professor Ryoko or Professor Dracula." She paused and looked at them all. "Our first lesson will be curses and their counters. Then creatures, then Dark devices. Any questions?"

            A girl in the front row raised her hand. "What kind of creatures will we be studying?"

            " Vampires, werewolves, banshees. All the Dark creatures." Ryoko explained. "Now, we'll just get to know each other. Everyone get out their wands and get ready to do some magic."

            The students got them out and watched her. Ryoko walked to the end of the first row. The boy there looked terrified to go first.

            "Now, tell us your name and favorite class." Ryoko instructed.

            "My name is Kyle and I like Transfiguration." He said nervously.

            Ryoko nodded. "Next."

            "Kahla, Potions." The girls stated.

            "I have a house elf named Kahla. She's one of my best friends. Well, keep going."

            "Salinea, Care of Magical Creatures."

            "Sarah, Divination."

            "Nathan, Defense Against the Dark Arts."

            Ryoko smiled. "I think I have a friend," she said.

            The whole class did this, and then Ryoko walked back to the front of the room. "Now, we'll just do a quick review. Now, what are the differences between a wolf and werewolf?" she asked.

            A girl with bushy brown hair raised her hand. "The wolf has a shorter snout and their ears are more pointier. The werewolf has bigger paws, thinner tails, and are larger than a wolf. There are many more but if I said them all, we would be here until dinner." She said.

            "What's your name again?" Ryoko asked.

            "Kassandra Weasly. Why?" the girl questioned.

            Ryoko looked at her. "I know someone who looks like you. Is your mother by chance Hermione Granger?"

            The girl looked surprised. "Yes, and let me guess. You know someone named Kassandra?"

            Ryoko nodded. "Actually I do. She's the new Charms teacher. Well, that's all for today. Be ready to learn some curses tomorrow. Class dismissed."

            The class got up to leave when Ryoko said, "Will someone please come here for me? I need a favor."

            Kassandra walked to her desk. "What is it Professor?"

            "You have Charms next, right? Take this to Professor Lupin. She might be late, but give it to her."

            Kassandra nodded, then left.

            "Welcome to Charms! I am Kassandra Elizabeth Lupin. Known to you as Professor Lupin. Today will be a fun lesson. We'll practice changing features such as hair color, length, eyes color, facial features, and others. I need a volunteer. You, in the middle." Kassie said. 

            The boy stood up and came to the front.

            "Well, what do you want changed?" Kassie asked

            "My hair and eyes. Hair to blonde and eyes to green."

            Kassie nodded. "Okay, everybody watch! Hair of blonde, eyes of green, turn this into one hot teen!"

            And right before their eyes, his hair turned blonde, and his eyes turned green. A few girls gasped. One giggled.

            "Well class, I want you to think of what you want changed, and write them down. When you've done that, raise you hand and I'll come to help you with the spell. Get busy. And you may talk to your friends quietly as you do so." Kassie said.

            The class started to whisper as friends asked friends what they should change. As they did that, Kassie sat on her desk and put blood red streaks through her hair and changed her eye color to bright purple. Some of the boys looked up at her as they finished.

            "Whoa, awesome chic at 12 o'clock." One said. His bud nodded his agreement.

            Kassie walked over to them. "Are you two done?" she asked. They nodded dumbly. "Okay, this is the spell…" And she proceeded to inform them.

            When the bell rang, people walked out of the class looking at least a little different then they had coming in. Every one was laughing and smiling.

            Kassie sat down, ready to give up. Almost all of the guys had tried more than 5 looks to get her to notice them, and she kept running back and forth between them. The next class came in, and she sighed. This was going to be a long day…

            Later at lunch, Ryoko had to laugh when Kassie walked into the Great Hall. Her hair was to her ears and blue, one eye was black, the other was red, and her face was sprinkled with freckles across her nose.

            "Rough class?" she asked.

            Kassie glared. "First years are not easy. They did this to me, and 7th year boys were flirting with me. Maybe I should have taught them silencing spells. Had a nice quiet class. How was yours?"

            "Let's see…I had a girl barf in class 2, a few Slytherin boys flirting with me, and Filch was yelling at me for saying I was going to bring a werewolf into class." Ryoko said.

            Kassie turned her head sharply to look at her. "So you want me to come into class when I change?"

            Ryoko nodded slowly. "Yeah, but if you don't want to, I could always ask Remus…"

            "No! I'll do it! When?" Kassie said quickly.

            Ryoko smiled. It worked again. Kassie hated her father doing anything she could do. She always did what she could, and then asked her father. "Next week, anytime. All you have to do is change in my class in the morning, then have someone else teach for you. Simple, right?"

            Kassie nodded. "Yeah. Well, gotta go and get ready for my next class. Later."

            Ryoko nodded and watched her go. "Sometimes I wonder where she keeps her energy before it finally kicks in." she said to herself, then got up and went on to set up her next class.

CGP: Tada! Chapter 4! I am happy! I may have #5 up tomorrow. Never know. Well, R&R!

Lupin: Please do. I need help. So does she.
