The class waited patiently for Defense Against the Dark Arts to begin, many of the boys had brought roses. Sighing, Hermione went to sit at the back with Desiree (for the boys had already taken the front seats), and got out her book. At that moment, the door opened and Professor Delacour came in. She saw the boys' roses, and rolled her eyes [rolleyes]. "Good Morning, class. I am your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Delacour. Many of you already know me from last year, but let's not get into that. So, for our first lesson, we will all turn to page 44, and read aloud the chapter on Voodoo." There was a ruffle of the girls turning the pages in the book, but the boys, who were obviously not listening, still had their books lying face up.
"Oh, my..."said Desiree, shaking her head (which made her over-large hat wobble, and nearly fall off.) They spent the rest of Defense Against the Dark Arts copying notes off of the board. Then they went back to the Great Hall for lunch.
"That was some lesson wasn't it?" said Ron dreamily, bumping into some third years with out even noticing while he was staring into space. Hermione rolled her eyes at him, and they were just about to giggle when Malfoy came over. "Having fun ladies?" he sneered at the boys. Desiree didn't know him that well, but she didn't seem to like him much. "Actually, yes we were, but then you came over," she retorted. Malfoy turned pink, and motioned to Crabbe and Goyle that it was time to go. Laughing, they finished lunch and headed down to the Dungeons for double period Potions with the Slytherins. Potions went unusually well, they took notes on love potions, and prepared their own, but Snape forbid them to leave with the potions(so they couldn't use them). He assigned an essay about Love Potions to be turned in the next week. After Potions, they had supper, and headed back to the Common Room. Instead of starting on Potions, like Hermione did, Desiree watched Harry and Ron play Exploding Snap with Fred and George.
"No offense Desiree, but do you ever take your hat off?" Ron asked after losing badly to Fred. Desiree blushed and said,"Well, yeah, but I just like wearing hats."
"Oh, okay," siad Ron, and he went back to the game while Desiree breathed a small sigh of relief. After at least an hour of Exploding Snap, they all went to bed.
