Chapter 40
The seventh years would have advanced Transfiguration with Sirius Black on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:10-4:20. Harry now had free periods Mondays and Wednesdays, he had yet to be told what he would do during these times, surprisingly he had graded all the exams and papers from his D.A.D.A. classes over Christmas, he gave them to Remus to hand back on Wednesday. Wednesday in Defense Against the Dark Arts shocked many Grryffindors and Slytherins, the way Harry and Lupin greeted each other as old friends it seemed, but he also greeted Hermione as an old friend also, or as much as you could in a class full as students. "Moony, how are you, happy to be back?" Harry greeted Lupin. "Of coarse I am, I'm wonderful, your in class, I'm Professor Lupin." "Sorry Moony," Harry answered. "Trying to be like Padfoot and Prongs?"Lupin asked. Hermione laughed at this. "What?" Harry said looking at her. "Nothing, just look at the shocked looks on the faces of the class. "What, Hermione, we did spend a week with him last summer?" "I know, they just all look to be in shock." "Your right, they are funny," with that he to laughed at the class, and they sat, waiting for class to start. The seventh years had to wait until Thursday for their first lesson with Sirius Black. He had to prepare, for what would probably be a fascinating class. Most had no idea what to expect being taught by Sirius Black. Many were anticipating the unknown lesson and ex-convict professor with dread. Everyone now had D.A.D.A. twice a week, rather then once when Harry was teaching. That had been announced on Tuesday. It's now Thursday Advanced Transfiguration with Sirius Black, the infamous supposed traitor. "Hello everyone, welcome to advanced transfiguration aka. Animagus training." There were many gasps, animagi-wow. But what had really shocked them was when Harry, Hermione, and Ron had came in and were greeted with a huge hug by Sirius, and a nice to see you again, Lavender. He then called roll, he only called off the names, his parchment read: Name-House-Animal Abbot, Hannah-Hufflepuff-?
Boot, Terry-Ravenclaw-? Brocklehurst, Mandy-Ravenclaw-? Brown, Lavender-Gryffindor-? Finnegan, Seamus-Gryffindor-? Finch-Fletchy, Justin-Hufflepuff-? Granger, Hermione-Gryffindor-? Longbottom, Neville-Gryffindor-? Malfoy, Draco-Slytherin-? Parkinson, Pansy-Slytherin-? Patil, Padma-Ravenclaw-? Patil, Parvati-Gryffindor-? Potter, Harry-Gryffindor-? Thomas, Dean-Gryffindor-? Weasley, Ronald-Gryffindor-? Zabini, Blaise-Gryffindor-?
Sirius had some guesses of what a few of them might be, like Harry, maybe he'd be a Stag, and he'd heard Malfoy made a terrific Ferret.
"We'll start with any questions you might like to ask me,":Sirius said. "How do you know Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Lavender?" asked Seamus. "Harry's my godson, Hermione, Ron and Lavender visited last summer," Sirius answered. "How did you escape Azkaban?" Dean asked. "What class is this?" Sirius asked him. "Anamagus?" Dean answered, and Sirius changed into a giant black dog and back again, "Whoa, awesome," Neville exclaimed. "Anymore questions?" Sirius asked. "Sirius are you still unregistered?" Hermione asked. "I'm registered, the marauders secret has been blown." Sirius answered. "The Marauders?" Hannah asked. "Myself, Professor Lupin, James, and Pettigrew." "Who's James?" Justin asked. "My dad," Harry answered. "Yes, James Potter," Sirius said. "What happened to Pettigrew?" Mandy asked. "Didn't you murder him?" Terry asked. "NO, Sirius did not murder him, he was a rat for 12 years, he was an anamagus, he gave my parents to Voldemort," Harry roared angry someone accused Sirius of betraying his parents. "Pettigrew was my rat for twelve years," Ron said. "What?" everyone but Harry, Hermione, and Sirius said. "Scabbers, Pettigrew lived as a rat for twelve years with my family, then when everyone thought Sirius was after Harry Third year, he was revealed as Pettigrew, escaped, and brought you-know-who back, in fourth year." "Yeah Pettigrew was a deatheater," Draco Malfoy said. "How would you know?" Padma Patil asked. "Because I know who just about every deatheater was." "How?" Pama asked. "My father was Voldemort's right-hand man." Draco continued. "That was obvious," Ron said. "What are you talking about Ron?" Draco asked. "Whoa, that's the first time you've ever called me by my first name." Ron said. "I hated my father, and was overjoyed when Harry killed him." Draco answered. Everyone stared at Harry, except for Sirius and Hermione, who knew exactly what had happened. "I didn't kill him, I killed Voldemort, which caused a chain reaction, resulting in the destruction of the deatheaters." Harry said. "Professor, how were you cleared?" Draco asked. "Harry," Sirius answered. "How did you get Fudge to agree, Harry?" Malfoy asked. "Fudge said I could have anything after I defeated Voldemort last summer, I said I wanted Sirius and Buckbeak cleared." Harry answered. This discussion, question answer session lasted for the first hour and a half of class. "Ok, now we will take some notes, and I will test a few of you for your animagus form. They toke notes for an hour, then Sirius said, "That's enough for now, I will test a few of you now, and continue with the rest next week, today if you learn of your animal, your assignment is to research your animal. He then called "Justin." Justin went up and toke the potion, it projected a Finch, Sirius scribbled the animal down. "Next, Ron." Ron's form is a fox. "Lavender" Lavender is a rabbit. "Pansy" Pansy is a pug. "Draco" Draco is a Ferret.
The bell rang, we'll see what the rest of you are, next week.
So far Sirius Parchment reads: Abbot, Hannah-Hufflepuff-? Boot, Terry-Ravenclaw-? Brocklehurst, Mandy-Ravenclaw-? Brown, Lavender-Gryffindor-Rabbit Finnegan, Seamus-Gryffindor-? Finch-Fletchy, Justin-Hufflepuff-Finch Granger, Hermione-Gryffindor-? Longbottom, Neville-Gryffindor-? Malfoy, Draco-Slytherin-Ferret Parkinson, Pansy-Slytherin-Pug Patil, Padma-Ravenclaw-? Patil, Parvati-Gryffindor-? Potter, Harry-Gryffindor-? Thomas, Dean-Gryffindor-? Weasley, Ronald-Gryffindor-Fox Zabini, Blaise-Slytherin-?
If anyone has any ideas for everyone else's animal form please let me know, I was thinking of having Harry be more then one animal, maybe a stag and something else, I'm not sure, I'll see how you(the reviewers) respond. I was informed of a mistake in the last chapter, Remus was a teacher 4 years prior not 5, thanks to the one who pointed this out. Review please -ears91
