Harry received his schedule the next day. The line wasn't too bad.
He had Care of Magical Creatures, then Charms, and end the day with Defense
Against the Dark Arts. His class schedule was shorter since he no longer
had to take Divination or History of Magic. Harry hoped that Defense
Against the Dark Arts would be an interesting class.
Harry headed downstairs to Care of Magical Creatures. Outside the hut, Hagrid was waiting with Fang, his dog, and his crossbow. Harry had a feeling that they were going into the Forbidden Forest for their first lesson of the year.
"Hey there Harry. It's good to see ya. I didn' get ta talk to ya much this summer. Oh well, we're ready now. Ah, I see that the rest of the class has shown up. All right you chaps, today we're going into the forest to see something very special. As you all know, You-Know-Who has returned. I want to show you all a few creatures that he used in the past."
They walked into the forest. They didn't go far before they found a large spider. Harry knew that this spider wasn't going to work for Voldemort. This was Aragog, a friend of Hagrid's. "Alright everyone, keep close. This is an acromantula. You-Know-Who would train these to terrorize Muggle villages. Does anyone know why acromantulas are classified as dangerous?"
Hermione's hand shot in the air. "Acromantulas are classified as dangerous because they are very large and very smart. They have the capability to speak, and it doesn't take long for them to learn commands."
Harry heard whispering in the back. Draco had his wand out, and was whispering something. A few sparks shot at Aragog. Suddenly, Aragog was running after students. Harry brandished his wand, and muttered, "Impedimenta". Draco was suddenly stunned. Meanwhile, the D.A. members were shooting the same spell at Aragog. The spider stopped moving. Draco was reviving. Harry pointed his wand at Draco and yelled "Expelliarmus". Draco's wand flew to Harry's empty hand.
The class had run out of the woods, and Harry pointed Draco towards the castle. However, he had forgotten one little detail. "Detention, Potter, for harming a school prefect and disarming him." Then, he gave a laugh, and headed towards his next class, flanked by Crabbe and Goyle.
Charms went much better. Harry's class was learning Charms that would show up in his N.E.W.T.S. Harry ate lunch, then headed back to the common room, where he, Ron, and Hermione had an hour before Defense Against the Dark Arts.
