The new defence against the arts teacher
His first class was Defence against the dark arts. He sat down between Hermione and Ron. As the rest of the class came in, Harry noticed that the new teacher was not there yet. The class waited for five minutes before a stubby old man with a baldhead rushed inside. Draco Malfoy was sitting on the desk in the aisle and tripped him over. Scrolls and parchment went everywhere. The teacher fell to the ground before quickly getting up. "Sorry, sorry. I must've been just a little anxious. Welcome everyone. I am Professor Tinemany. I have been not only been appointed by Professor Dumbledore to teach you standard Defence against the dark arts, I have also been told to teach all of you who have been chosen for the championships. So with out further ado, let's begin. Now I have been told you have all got your 'how dementors came to be, along with other animals ' book? Today we will be looking at revising spells to use against a dementor, Now who can show me a Patronus Charm?" He said, in a nervous tone. "I do," Said Hermione, very enthusiastically, "but Harry knows how to even better!" and with that, she tugged Harry's hand up into the. "Well, if it isn't Harry 'good boy' Potter!" Malfoy spat as Harry had his hand put up. "Mister Potter, The harry potter? Well come on out Potter! I have heard great things about your Defence against the arts. My good friend John tested you last year. Said you were absolutely amazing! Well come on! Don't be shy!" Harry walked to the front of the class, looking at his feet, not wanting to be doing this. "Now, as you all know, the Patronus charm is used on dementors," explained Professor Tinemany, "but can be used on other things as well if necessary. Mister Potter will now demonstrate. Go on Mister Potter." Harry raised his wand and shouted 'Expecto patronum' and his trademark silver stag came charging out of his wand tip. It ran around the room before disappearing in a silver mist. "Now class, as you can see, Mister Potter has a stag as his Patronus. Now all people have different Patronus Charms. Allow me to demonstrate." Professor Tinemany said as he raised his wand. "Expecto Patronum" and a large elephant came out of his wand tip. It gave a big bellow and charged out. Professor Tinemany quickly made it disappear. "Now that you know the Patronus charm, I would like you to have some attempts, then if you fail to do it successfully, I will set it as homework and test you on it next lesson. Now I would like all of you to partner up and try them now." Hermione and Ron went together, it was no surprise to Harry. He knew how Ron felt about Hermione. He decided to go with Neville, who had greatly improved since the DA meetings last year. "Almost a perfect outline, Mr Longbottom. Very Well done!" said Mr Tinemany to Neville. Harry noticed that Neville had gone a bit red in the face. It was obvious that he was embarrassed. Harry so far, liked Mr Tinemany, apart from Lupin, of course. Harry left with a positive feeling in himself. For once, this class had gone properly. No one possessed by Voldormort or full of themselves and to Harry's relief, NO PPROFESSOR UMBRIDGE! "I think that lesson was pretty good," Harry said to Hermione and Ron, "He knows how to do a lesson well, unlike Umbridge!" "Don't mention that name to me!" burst out Ron, his face cringing with the sound of her name. "I can agree with you about that!" said Hermione, for once deciding to say something bad about a teacher. Potions with Snape were an average lesson. Snape had decided that the class was more than able to conjure up a polyjuice potion. Harry, Ron and Hermione were all happy about this, due to their past experience in their second year of Hogwarts. Harry was confident as he began his potion, knowing that there was a chance at getting a good grade in Potions this year. Snape hadn't been able to insult him with snide remarks, this due to his potion going so successful. As Harry bottled up his potion, he couldn't help imagining him being given top marks along with Ron and Hermione, and Snape having to say in front of the whole school how good they were. As lunch came, Ginny and Harry met up, quickly talked to each other. They didn't wasn't Ron and Hermione to see and so they quickly disbanded and met up later when Harry and the others were together. "Less conspicuous that way." Ginny explained. She looked so good when she was talking all-secretive. Harry went to find Ron and Hermione. It took him five minutes before he realised where they were. He entered the Great Hall and saw them talking, Hermione giggling as Ron whispered something in her ear. "Yes, Ronald Weasley, I will go with you!" And with that Hermione, hugged him. Harry walked over to them and they pulled apart. "Hi Harry!" said Hermione, still recovering from her giggle attack. "Hey," Replied Harry, "What are two both excited about?" "Nothing. Anyway where were you/" asked Ron "Nowhere." Harry said. "Good, that's settled. Now when is lunch going to be served?" Asked Hermione. As she said this, students and staff poured in to the great hall. There were though, only four tables now, Harry had noticed, and the staff table drastically reduced. As everyone settled down, Dumbledore stood up, "As you can probably see, the other schools are not here. They have their own classes on their transport. They also have enough room for meals and Dormitories. Now, I will let you eat." The gold plates were filled and they began to eat. After lunch was finished and the plates magically cleaned, they proceeded to their afternoon classes. Harry and Ron had History of Magic while Hermione had a free study period. "Still don't know why she needs it, there's nothing to study for!" Ron said as they left for Hagrid's class.
