Lives UntoldChapter 2
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Hermione rolled over and sleepily glanced at her clock on her night table
'Oh no! I'm late', Hermione thought to herself, as she scrambled out of bed. The Feast last night had lasted later than normal and had been great fun.
There had been several surprises last night, including the announcement of the Prefects. Dumbledore had decided to not inform the new Prefects ahead of time, as he wanted it to be a surprise.
For Gryffindor, Hermione had been delighted to learn that Ron, Harry, and herself had been named Prefects. It wasn't that much of a shocker that she had been called since she had worked for it since she came to Hogwarts, but Ron and Harry had been surprised to say the least.
Also, the new DADA professor had been introduced. She was a woman, as Sirius had said, and was about 35 years old named Ms. Manchura. She didn't look to threatening, but Hermione had leaned that looks could be deceiving.
There was also another new professor whose class she taught was to remain secret until this morning. She was young and looked intimidated about her surroundings. She was introduced as Ms. Starr and Hermione wondered if she would be in her mystery class.
Hermione yawned and stretched and got ready to face the day. She showered and changed, and quickly greeted her dorm mates, Lavender Brown and Pavati Patil, who were just getting up, before she ran downstairs where she met Harry and Ron and they proceeded to collect their schedules before making their way to the Great Hall.
"Lets see," Hermione said contemplatively, "we have Potions with the Slytherins. Yuck," she made a face and continued, "DADA, History of Magic, Transfiguration, Arithmancy for me, Divination for you two, and Muggle Arts and Entertainment?!" she shrieked. "What is this? I did not sign up for that class!"
Harry and Ron were also examining their schedules and found they both had Arts and Entertainment also.
Harry scratched his head, "Wait. We signed up for Care of Magical Creatures, didn't we?"
Ron nodded the affirmative as he glopped marmalade on his piece of toast.
"I guess since Hagrid isn't here, they gave us a new class." Harry said reasonably.
Hermione looked thoughtful for a moment. "Ok, but why Muggle Arts and Entertainment? Hogwarts already offers Muggle Studies. Why didn't they just let us choose our own course? And who's going to teach it? And-"
Hermione was stopped mid-sentence by Ron, who put his hand over her mouth.
"Slow down Hermione," he said, laughing. "Look," her said taking his hand from her mouth and pointing at Dumbledore who had risen to speak to the students, "maybe Dumbledore will answer your questions."
They found out that Ron was not far off base once Dumbledore began speaking.
"Good morning students. I can imagine that out fifth years have several questions regarding their schedules this year. Let me be very brief- we have decided to incorporate a new course here at Hogwarts into our curriculum. Muggle Arts and Entertainment will be a mandatory class for fifth years. For out sixth and seventh years, you have either lucked out or lost out, dependingon how you look at it," Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eye.
"So," he continued, "As many of you have probably realized, this class will take the place of Care of Magical Creatures. For those 4th year and under, you will simply take a different course, of your choice. And yes, the teacher for this class is Ms. Starr who is very qualified for this job," he nodded to Ms. Starr who smiled back at him, and the students.
"And now, I leave you back to your breakfasts.," Dumbledore said as he sat back down.
"Wow," Ron said as he bit into his toast, "I wonder what we'll do in that class."
Hermione looked just as intrigued. Just what on earth could they do in that new class?
That's all for now! Please read and review! :)
