On with the story!

          The next morning started bright and early in the Great Hall over a delicious breakfast. Selene didn't normally eat breakfast as the mere sight of the food made her ill, but she could not resist the vast array of scrumptious foods that lay before her. She could hardly decide what to eat first but decided that she should eat light, as she was nervous about her upcoming first lesson. I hope I can handle this. I don't want to make a fool of myself the first day out, she pondered as she chewed on a piece of lightly toasted bread. She looked out over the crowd of students, some eager to start the new year, and others with looks of trepidation across their young faces. She knew that her first lesson of the day was at eleven o'clock with Gryffindor and Slytherin 5th years. And she had a few ideas as to what she could teach the first lesson but all of them seemed boring or stupid.

"Don't worry so much about what to teach them", Dumbledore said, causing Selene to practically jump out of her skin. He smiled at her and put a reassuring hand on her shoulder, "You will do fine, I believe the students cannot wait to attend your class. Teach from the heart and be yourself, that way nothing can go wrong."

"Thank you, Dumbledore. But tell that to my stomach, its in knots. I always get this way before anything important but everything ends up alright in the end", Selene smiled at Dumbledore. As she went back to her food, Professor McGonagall sat down next to her. "Good morning, Selene. Ready for your classes?" she asked with a small smile. "Good morning, Minerva. About as ready as I'll ever be", Selene replied with a weak smile.

"Your first lesson involves 5th year Slytherins does it not? Watch out for Draco Malfoy, he is quite the handful, if you know what I mean. If he gives you any trouble whatsoever, don't hesitate to give him detention and report him to Severus. And you can quote me on that", Minerva finished with a nod. Selene laughed, "Thank you for the heads up. I will definitely watch out for him."

As Selene finished her breakfast and took one last drink of her pumpkin juice, she heard a distance ring of a bell. She got up from her seat and bidding her colleague's good day, she went of the broom closet to fetch the brooms for class. She carried the bag of brooms to the field where class would take place and on her way, she almost literally ran into a young Gryffindor.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Can't see a thing with this blasted bag in the way. Wait you look very familiar. Are you James Potter's son, Harry? Great Merlin alive! They weren't kidding when they said you looked just like him. I knew your father here at Hogwarts, as we were in the same house and on the Quidditch team together. Well, don't let me hold you up. You have a class to get to. What year are you, by the way?" she asked with a smile. "5th year, Ms. Hawkins," Harry replied as he started to walk backwards across the grass, "I have your class later today and I can't wait!!"  With a smile and a wave, she continued on her way. Maybe this day is going to be better than I thought.

The morning went by quickly and before Selene knew it, she saw a group of students heading her way across the grass. And right away she recognized Draco. He looks just like his father did. Same over-gelled hair and haughty attitude. Great, a Lucius Malfoy Mini-Me. And he has a motley crew, even better, she was referring to the two young boys that flanked Draco, those of which she did not know their names. Probably Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum, Selene thought as she exercised a lot of self-control not to laugh out loud. The students gathered around her and looked up at her in a way that could only be described as awe.

"Good morning everyone and welcome to you first flying lesson of your 5th year. You may all call me Ms. Hawkins and if no one has any questions, we shall begin our lesson." Silence. "Well then, everyone grab a broom from the bag over there and once you have one please follow me to the Quidditch pitch." A mad scrabble ensued as everyone rushed to be the first to get his or her broom. In the process, Draco shoved a shorter Gryffindor out of his way so that he could get the best broom. "Mr. Malfoy! What do you think your doing?! All of the brooms are the same, so that was very unnecessary. Now apologize at once", Selene said tersely as she walked over to the fallen Gryffindor. When she got no reply from Draco, she repeated her words, "Mr. Malfoy. I will not ask you again. Apologize at once or I shall report you to Professor Snape." A quiet apology came from Draco, but Selene could tell he did not mean it.

When the students had finished gathering their broomsticks, they began to follow Selene out onto the field. As she turned and faced them, she began "Today I will teach you some helpful advanced flying methods. Now I have set up an obstacle course that you can see above your heads." The students looked up and saw a series of barriers organized in order of difficulty, ranging from easy on the right to harder on the left. " Now each of you will fly through the obstacle course and I will be monitoring your progress. At the end of the course you will be given a level and from that I will determine what things I will be teaching you this year. Now I know everyone out here is not an expert but I am more than willing to help you all become better flyers. My hope is by the end of this year, you will all have improved tremendously. With that said, let's begin." Selene finished as she took out a piece of parchment from her pocket.

"Ron Weasly?" just then a tall, flame haired boy made his way to the front of the pack, "Your up."  And on she went down the list, taking out her quill and writing notes after each student. These students are really very good. Just one boy seems to have some trouble, a Neville Longbottom. I must talk to him after class, Selene made a mental note and read the last name on the list. "Draco Malfoy, your turn". " I'll be done with this course before you can say Quidditch.", he smirked as he took to the air. He started the course just fine but somewhere near the end he lost it and crashed in to one of the barriers, Draco and the broom falling hard to the ground. Selene ran over and attempted to help him, but he pushed her away and stood up, very red in the face. "What was that you were sayin', Malfoy? Looks like you aren't all that good.", Ron said with a large smile across his face. But the laughter and the smiles of the students soon ended, as Draco ran headlong at Ron, tackling him to the ground, fists flying. "Boys, break it! Come on now, I said break it up!', Selene yelled as she ran toward them. She pulled the boys apart; each had blood dripping from their noses. "I can't believe this. Mr. Malfoy, you have detention and Mr. Weasly, 50 points from Gryffindor." Just then the bell rang, signaling the end of class. "Alright, everyone return your brooms to the bag and I will see you all tomorrow.", and turning to Draco and Ron, "As for you two, follow me."

          The walk down the steps to the Dungeon was dark and cold, not to mention a little creepy. I can't believe he works down here. They had just left Professor McGonagall's, leaving Ron to his demise. As she and Draco continued down the dark hall to Snape's office, she couldn't help but think about how her first class had went. Not like how I had planned it to go, but life has a funny way of screwing up our plans.  Upon reaching his door, Selene gave it a sound knock. "ENTER!", Snape yelled from the other side. Great, sounds like he's in a bad mood, as she opened the door and ushered Draco inside. Once both were inside, she shut the door.

"What is it Ms. Hawkins?", Snape barked at her.

"Professor, Mr. Malfoy here was quite out of hand today. His fist offense was he shoved a student out of the way in line and then refused to apologize for his actions. I was forced to ask him twice before he did so. His second offense was tackling a Gryffindor student. Draco hit a barrier during his run of the obstacle course, and took a fall. A boy made a remark and Draco tackled him, punching him numerous times. I have reprimanded the other boy and he has been sent to Professor McGonagall for further discipline.", Selene finished sternly.

"Well, well. Mr. Malfoy. It seems that you took no time in endearing yourself to the new teacher.", Severus said curtly as he stood and walked toward Draco. "Is Ms. Hawkins telling me the truth?" when Draco did not lift his head to answer, Severus repeated himself, "Is she telling me the truth?" Finally Draco raised his head, "Yes, Professor. Its true." Severus paced in front of Draco, "25 points from Slytherin for your disrespect of authority and detention with Hagrid in the forest tonight for your insolence. Now go.", he spat as he turned his back on us. As we made our way to the door, he added, "and Ms. Hawkins, shut the door after Mr. Malfoy. I want a word with you."

Oooo, what's he going to say to her?! You'll have to wait to find out. Hehe J
