Chapter 5 First Day of School
Ron said as throwing a pillow at Harry, "Harry, come on, mate, wake up!"
Harry said grumpily as throwing the pillow back at Ron, "Ron! What did you that for?"
Ron said, "To get you up. Its 9:00 right now. We should go down to the Great Hall for breakfast. Hermione is down already; she's probably in the DADA class room by now."
Harry said, "Sorry, I'm a little grumpy this morning. I'm starved."
They went down stairs to Great Hall for breakfast. Harry and Ron grabbed some toast and headed to DADA classroom where Professor Lupin and Athena were sitting in chairs at the front of the room. Hermione was in a desk in the front row.
Harry said, "Hi Prof. Lupin."
Ron said, "Hi."
Remus said, "Hello Harry and Ron. The next class, please try to be on time. Now take your seats."
Harry and Ron took their seats next to Hermione.
Remus said, "Welcome to 6th year DADA class; I'm Prof. Lupin and this is my sister and assistant for the DADA, Prof. Raven. As you all know by now that I'm a werewolf. This year, you will learn how defend against dark creatures and wizards. Who can tell me what a dark creature or wizard? Neville, do you know? "
Neville said, "Werewolves, but some werewolves are good."
Remus said, "Ten points to Gryffindor. Ron."
Ron said, "A Ghoul like the one in my attic."
Remus said, "Ten points to Gryffindor. Harry."
Harry said, "A vampire."
Remus said, "Ten points to Gryffindor. Hermione."
Hermione said, "Voldemort."
Remus said, "Ten points to Gryffindor. Mandy."
Mandy said, "A Poltergeist." Remus said, "5 points to Gryffindor. Today, you are going to learn how to defend against ghouls. Ron, why don't you tell the class, what a ghoul is?"
Ron said, "A ghoul is a monster. They are gaunt, yellowish eyes, tiny razor sharp teeth, long clawed hands, and walk on two short legs. They attack humans not animals. They don't like the sun. To get rid of a ghoul, you can decapitate it, expose it to acid or burn it. They can be noisy."
Remus said, "20 points to Gryffindor. Over there is a dummy of a ghoul. The beheading spell is Decaptatio carnificare. It is the most effective way to destroy a ghoul. Another spell is to destroy a ghoul is acidus. The third spell is cremare. Neville you go first."
Neville said, "Decaptatio carnificare!" A brown light shot out of his wand and into the ghoul's neck beheading it.
Remus said, "Excellent job, Neville. 20 points to Gryffindor!"
Ron said, "Decaptatio carnificare!" The ghoul was beheaded again.
Everyone else went, and then it was Harry's turn. He walked up to the fake ghoul.
Harry said, "Decaptatio carnificare!" The ghoul's head bounced off to the floor.
Remus said, "10 points to Gryffindor. Good job, everyone."
Hermione, Mandy, Ron, Neville, and Harry went to the Great Hall for lunch.
Ron said as taking a bite of his chicken, "Uh I can't wait."
Hermione said, "Ron."
Ron said, "Finally I can get rid of the ghoul in my attic."
Harry asked, "Why does your dad let it stay?"
Ron said, "I don't have an idea."
Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Mandy went to Potions which was pretty interesting.
Prof. Snape said, "This is the NEWT'S Potion class. Today you are going learn how to make the Wolfsbane Potion, since we have t-uh one werewolf in the castle. So get brewing!"
Hermione, Harry, Mandy, and Ron made their potions almost perfect. They only got five points taken. After dinner, Harry went to meet Mark at the hourglasses.
Harry said, "Hello Mark, ready?"
Mark said, "Hi Harry. Yes, I'm ready."
Harry and Mark went up to the Room of Requirement. Harry and Mark sat down on the floor.
Harry said, "The charm is called the Patronous Charm. It wards off Dementors. Every wizard's is unique. The spell is Expecto Patronum! You must think of happy thoughts."
Mark said, "E-x-p-e-c-t-o P-a-t-r-o-n-o-u-s!" Nothing happened.
Harry said, "Mark, try saying whole words not broken down words. Think happy thoughts"
Mark said, "Expecto Patronum!" A small spark came out of his wand.
Harry said, "I think this is enough for today. Let's get some sleep."
Mark asked, "Can I come with you to the Shrieking Shack during the full moon, please?"
Harry said, "No, it's too dangerous! Night, Mark. I see you don't have your crutches."
Mark said, "I got a magical leg brace for my left leg, so I can walk without aid. Night!"
Harry and Mark went to their dorm rooms. Harry fell asleep.
Ron said as throwing a pillow at Harry, "Harry, come on, mate, wake up!"
Harry said grumpily as throwing the pillow back at Ron, "Ron! What did you that for?"
