Disclaimer: Don't own nothing. Except for the stuff I bought on my vaca.
A/N: Ugg! I went on vaca (vacation) thinking I was going to get a little free time from writing, and what happens?? I remember I forgot to introduce the DADA teacher, so I start writing. I end up writing a little more than 8 pages! .
I would start rambling on about my vaca, but that would be boring. Therefore, here's the storie!
Chapter Six: Defense Against the Dark Arts
Hermione, Harry, Ron, Yusuke and Kurama were sitting at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall, eating breakfast. Kurama saw Hiei walk in with Malfoy and his two sidekicks, walking over to the Slytherin table and sitting down. Yusuke noticed that Botan and Kuwabara had made some friends during their stay in Hufflepuff.
Hermione suddenly sat up straight, and began looking up and down the Head Table. "Oh my gosh! I can't believe I forgot!"
"'Fer got what, 'ermione?" Ron asked, eating some muffin.
"The new teacher! I forgot to check who the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher was!" Still scanning the table she added, "But there's no new teacher."
Harry swallowed some pumpkin juice. "Yeah, and Professor Dumbledore didn't say who the new teacher was last night, either."
A calm voice coming from Harry's left spoke to them. "The new teacher will not be eating down here. She prefers silence." Harry looked over (so did Ron and Hermione) to see Suichi talking to them.
"She? How do you know the teacher is a girl?" Ron asked.
"We're um. past student's of hers. We know her well." Yusuke answered, chewing on some toast.
"Oh, okay. Well, we'll be meeting her soon, our first class is Defense Against the Dark Arts." Hermione said, looking at her class schedule and standing up. Harry, Ron, Yusuke, Kurama and a couple other students followed her up the changing staircases to the Defense Against the Dark Arts room.
"Almost there." Said Harry a couple of minutes later. They rounded the last corner before the DADA room, only to see Harry and Ron's worst nightmare. Malfoy, Goyle, Crabbe and Hiei were standing in front of the door with a couple of other Slytherins. "Great." Harry whispered.
Just then, the door opened. Yusuke seemed unfazed, and just walked towards the entrance. Kurama and Hiei followed him. Just before the got two feet into the classroom, they all stopped and took off their shoes. Then they walked in all the way, leaving the rest of the students to stand there, confused.
"Come in, as you would." Said a harsh voice from somewhere in the room. Harry looked to Ron, who shrugged and stepped forward. Harry, Hermione and the rest of the Gryffindors followed. Malfoy led the Slytherins in after them.
"Wow she looks old." said Ron, looking at the short old woman in front of them. Hermione glared at him angrily, and sat down in the back of the room. Harry and Ron sat down beside her. Hermione pointed to the front row, where Yusuke, Kurama and Hiei sat together.
"What's that all about?" she asked, but received no answer because the teacher stepped forward and began to speak.
"I am Genkai, you new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. I will be."
"Oi, Baba!" came a voice from the front row, cutting off Professor Genkai. (A/N: Professor Genkai, that sounds weird. Nevertheless, you knew it would be her, right?) She looked over to Yusuke, who had spoken.
"What is it, Dimwit?" a couple of students laughed, mostly Slytherins. However, Yusuke seemed not to care.
"Can I take a nap? I'm tired." Yusuke asked. Many students began to whisper, but Professor Genkai seemed to take this question to be normal.
"Hai, you may nap. But you have to spend an hour over the spike with me later. Now go lay down on the side of the classroom." She then turned around, preparing something on her desk.
Yusuke got up and walked to were Genkai had said, saying, "Sure what ever Old Lady. Ya know, I've gotten a lot stronger than when we were in the Dark." Pro. Genkai turned around so fast the students felt a breeze. She stared hard at the back of Yusuke's head, and Yusuke bent over seemingly in pain. (A/N: jsyn, this all happened in a matter of seconds.) Yusuke rubbed the back of his head, but kept walking. "I mean, since the DT." As Yusuke passed Hiei, he heard,
"Careful what you say, Detective." Yusuke glanced at Hiei to see him chuckle softly. Yusuke ignored him, walking to the small stack of rugs and pillows against the wall. He laid down amongst them and was asleep in seconds.
"What was that all about?" asked Ron of Harry and Hermione. Both shrugged, and turned towards the front of the room.
"But it must really stink to have detection on the first day of school. And with something about a spike, too." Harry added, as Professor Genkai walked down the isles handing out workbooks. She handed three to Harry, who mumbles a 'Thanks Professor," and handed the two other books to Hermione and Ron.
Genkai walked towards Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle with three workbooks in hand. She set them down in front of Malfoy, and then began to levitate some more books to give out. Just then, Malfoy said, "Thanks.. Grandma." Genkai didn't look back, but continued to bring the books to her.
"Hey, he should get house points taken away for that!" said Hermione, glaring at Malfoy. Malfoy on the other hand was laughing with a couple other Slytherins who had heard what he had said. Professor Genkai finished handing out books, and stepped in front of the class once again.
"Would all the Slytherins repeat after me?" She asked, and the Slytherins prepared to speak, all except for Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle. "Okay, here we go. 'Thank you Mr. Malfoy.' (repeat) 'For making us loose.' (repeat) 'Twenty House Points.' (repeat) Alright that's all." Then she looked straight at Malfoy, who wasn't laughing any more. She glared at him, saying, "You better not try that again, Malfoy." She then turned back to the class in general. "You know I'm new here, so I haven't really started up a plan yet. Just start in the front of these workbooks." Then she turned, and began doing something behind her desk.
"I can see already," said Malfoy, sneering at Genkai, "That this teacher is going to have to learn which Houses are better and which houses are not." He sat back, not even bothering to open the workbook in front of him.
Harry, Ron and Hermione had started on their workbooks already. Ron and Harry were on page three (it's an easy wkbk.) while Hermione was up to page nineteen. "Hey, look at that," said Ron, who was starting to give up on the workbook. Harry followed his gaze to see Suichi and Professor Genkai whispering together. "What'd ya think that's all about?" Ron asked.
"Well, do you have the Extendable Ears with you?" Hermione asked, as Ron began to dig around in his pocket. He pulled out three Ex. Ears, handing one to Hermione and one to Harry.
"Genkai-sensei, would you be so kind as to help me train later today?" Suichi asked. Professor Genkai closed her eyes, placing her hands behind her back. She walked over to the nearest window.
"Meet me in the Forbidden Forest at midnight. And I know you want to bring Hiei, so do that." Suichi had walked over to where Professor Genkai stood, and was also looking out the window. "Don't let anyone see you two enter or leave, understand Kurama?"
"Hai, thank you." Suichi bowed, then returned to his seat and opened up his workbook. Ron, Hermione and Harry gathered up the Ex. Ears, placing them back in Ron's pocket.
"Come on, we've got to work on these workbooks. Until midnight, we can just ignore what he heard." Hermione said, getting her quill ready and staring at the page.
(Later) "Alright, class is over. Leave your workbooks here until next class." Genkai said, standing in front of the class. They all stood, and walked out the door. Harry Ron and Hermione stayed behind to wait for Suichi and Yusuke.
"So you can make it tonight, right Hiei?" Suichi asked, walking towards the three but looking behind him.
"Hn." said Hiei, who then slipped past Yusuke and Suichi, staring straight at Harry. "What do you want?" he asked rudely.
"We just, erm, just wanted to." Hermione said, stumbling on what to say.
Hiei's head faced towards Harry but his eyes on Hermione. "Wanted to what, girl?" Hiei asked again, getting angrier by the second. Yusuke stepped forward, placing a hand on Hiei's shoulder.
"Calm down, Hiei. These are just our new friends." Hiei looked at Hermione to Ron, to Harry. Then he glared at Yusuke, who took his hand off Hiei's shoulder.
"That still doesn't explain why they're still here." Hiei said, looking at Kurama. Kurama in turn stepped to the door and began to put his shoes on.
"They probably wanted to help us get to our next class. Transfiguration, right?" he said, tying his shoelaces. Hermione nodded, still staring at Hiei.
"Fine, if you say so, Kurama." Hiei walked to the door and slipped on his shoes. "I'll see you later, fox." and with that, he left.
"Umm. Thanks." said Harry, walking towards the door. Yusuke was already putting his shoes on.
"It was nothing. As long as Hiei doesn't have his kata. sword with him, he's really not that bad." Said Suichi, chuckling.
"You call that 'not that bad'?" Ron said hands raised in amazement. "And also, how come everyone keeps calling you 'Kurama.' I thought your name was Suichi!" They rounded a corner, and heading up a staircase.
Kurama jumped over a disappearing step, then said, "Well, Suichi is my real name. But I've acquired the nickname Kurama. Another nickname of mine is fox. They're just nicknames, nothing more." They reached the top of the steps, and entered a classroom on their left.
"Alright then, come on Harry, Ron, we've got to get good seats. See you after class, Kurama and Yusuke." Hermione said, walking away from them. Harry and Ron followed her as Yusuke and Kurama walked in the other direction.
"Just a nickname, eh? Yeah right, Kurama! More like the name of one of the most feared demons ever." Yusuke said, plopping down in the back row. Kurama smiled weakly, sitting down next to Yusuke. "These classes are really boring. Man , it's going to be a long day."
A/N: yay! That was the eight pgs. I dunno if its 8 pgs. On the computer though. Oh well. anyways, please review! I noticed I got some more reviews from people, thank you! *hands out gummy worms and Runts* muwahahaha!
Also, to all those other writers, do any of you know how to make the bold and underline (etc.) stay when you load stuff onto FF.net? the bold (etc) always disappears for me. ( Review and tell me if you do! Thankies!
