Chapter 1: Kanids and Prefect Duty

During a warm November, afternoon, Professor Littlewood was busy teaching his Care of magical creature's class about the creature's kanid. Most of the class seemed to like Professor Little wood's way of teaching better than Professor Hagrids. Professor Hagrid had been out most of the week, and Professor Littlewood was filling in for him. It was only Harry, Ron, and Hermione that wondered where he was.

Professor Littlewood was a tall and lanky man, about 6'3", with short light brown hair. His robes were new and big on him. Dark blue eyes occupied his small face, with oval tortoiseshell glasses covering them. Many people guessed he was in is early thirties since no one dared ask.

"Now class, kanid are very vicious creatures. They lurk about the forbidden forest and other wooded areas. Female kanids greatly resemble a wolf. They have thick fur and do not have tails. The males look the same except have tails. Kanids only color is white--" Professor Littlewood explained but got cut off

"Excuse me sir, but I disagree. I have seen a female kanid before with a tail." Hermione shouted before raising her hand.

"That is not possible. Only the males have tails. In addition, that is five points from Gryffindor for interrupting me. Now as I was saying--" Littlewood began

"But I saw one Professor. Harry, Ron, and I. It came out of the forbidden forest to fish" Hermione explained

"Well you must have seen something else. That is five more points from Gryffindor, now if you interrupt me again that will be a detention. Now the only color kanids will be is white. Most males will hunt for little rodents such as rats or rabbits to eat, or they will fish. They are very meticulous about what they eat. They rarely eat greens or larger animals." Nevertheless, Littlewood was cut off again.

"Sir, the female kanid I saw was grey. In addition, it was eating a large animal, maybe two times its own size--"Hermione interrupted again

"Ms. Granger, I've had enough of your interruptions, detention tomorrow night at eight pm, in the great hall." Professor Littlewood snapped. "God forbid you get something wrong in your life."

"Yeah I agree," Draco Malfoy smirked. "What is this, your first detention mudblood?"

Hermione shot him a look of pure hatred. Draco just laughed, what was she going to do anyways?

"Mr. Malfoy, I am not in the mood and never will be in the mood for your little comebacks, you've been giving them out all week and I've had just about enough. You will be joining Ms. Granger in detention." Littlewood snapped

Malfoy looked put down, as if no one had ever given him detention for making fun of someone. As soon as Littlewood was about to explain more about kanids, the class was over.

"We will continue this lesson next time if Professor Hagrid is still out. You have learned absolutely nothing. Class dismissed" Professor Littlewood hissed

And as soon as he said that class was out the students were out and hurrying to lunch. However, Hermione was walking up to Professor Littlewood. She had to talk to him.

"Um.Professor?" Hermione started

"Yes, what do you want?" Littlewood asked looking over the rim of his glasses.

"Um.I wanted to talk to you about the kanid I saw." Hermione stated

"I already told you, that wasn't a female kanid, because females do not have tails. And kanids are not grey." Littlewood assured her

"Why couldn't it have been? Aren't there different species of kanid? Most animals have different species." Hermione questioned

Professor Littlewood looked as if he had just trampled over by a dragon. He did not say anything for a minute and looked as if he was thinking.

"Ms. Granger that may be. Some creatures have species that are rare or unknown. As of right now, there is no other type of kanid known. I will have to look into that. However, you will still serve your detention for interruptions. If you had raised your hand or have waited until now, you would not have gotten detention. But I need to go, and you need to go, I'm hungry." Littlewood laughed

"Okay Professor" Hermione said

Hermione smiled, she had maybe proved a teacher wrong. But she could feel her stomach growling and hurried to lunch.

Draco walked the corridors, doing his prefect duties. It was just after curfew, and he and the rest of the prefects were out to catch any wandering students that were out of bed. He had seen no one. Many people seemed to follow more rules since he had become prefect, probably because of his reputation. He did not see hardly any other prefects out, only Granger. He looked at her funny and she spotted him.

"What have I done now?' Hermione asked herself aloud.

"Nothing," Draco answered for her

"What?" Hermione wondered

"You didn't do anything wrong, so I said 'nothing'" Draco smiled

"What is with you? And why are you smiling at me" Hermione questioned him

"Nothing, absolutely nothing. I don't know why I am smiling." Draco said softly

"Whatever you say, whatever you say." Hermione said then rolled her eyes.

"Well I must be going now. No ones out of bed and I'm tired anyway." Draco yawned "See you tomorrow"

Hermione thought Malfoy was acting weird. He had not said anything mean to her since Littlewood's class. She really did not like him nice to her, it was very suspicious. But she thought nothing of it the rest of the night and got dressed for bed.
