Chapter 4-

Harry woke early again the next day. Back to the normal routine he thought. He groggily got out of bed, slipped on his glasses and got into his uniform. He then hurriedly headed down to the Great Hall. He was finished by the time Ron and Hermione came down and Professor McGonagall had handed out the schedules.

"Yes" exclaimed Harry "Double Defense Against the Dark Arts first thing and no potions until later this afternoon"

"I wonder if Dumbledore will find a teacher for it soon" pondered Hermione.

"Who knows" said Ron yawning.

"Bloody Hell!! Is that the time? Class starts in 3 minutes a Defense Against the dark arts is on the other side of the castle" said Hermione checking her watch(she had bought it in Diagon Alley).

Gathering their books the trio ran to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

"Ahh, there you three are. Have a seat you're just on time." said Dumbledore his eyes twinkling.

"Now today I thought it would be nice to work on Expecto Patronum. Can anyone tell me what a patronos is?" he asked.

Instantly Hermione's hand was in the air.

"Miss Granger"

"It is a defensive spell used to ward off Dementors. It usually takes the form of an animal and is produced by happy thoughts." She stated.

"Excellent definition Miss Granger 5 points to Gryffindor." he said smiling, "Now sit for a moment and think of the happiest thought you have"

After a moment Dumbledore spoke again "Now continue to think of your happy thought, lift your wand and chant Expecto Patronum."

By the end of class only 3 students were given homework.

-Rest of chapter will be up soon.
