Chapter 4:
Harry seemed to be in a different place during his Care of Magical Creatures lesson. It was about... well he couldn't remember. His mind kept wandering off to Dominique and Malfoy across the lawn. Malfoy still had his arm around her shoulder and Dominique seemed to have her hand in his robe pocket. A few yards away from them was Pansy Parkinson. And the look she was giving Dominique was absolutely livid. Crabbe and Goyle were nearby as usual. They seemed to have been working out over the holidays because their robes seemed to be uncomfortably tight. As they were pulling at the robes and there were quite a few rips on the arms.
After the lesson, Hermione was rambling on about who was going to be the new DADA teacher as that was their next lesson.
"The new teacher wasn't at the feast the other night so I am beginning to wonder whether they got Umbridge again."
"Oh god forbid!" cried out Ron with disgust. "I hope they got someone who is not a werewolf, a poser, an imposter, a guy with a face on the back of his bloody head, or a halfbreed-phobic hothead!"
"I hear they got a banshee," put in Seamus Finnigan.
"Oh that's riddiculus Seamus, banshee's never leave Ireland, and they hate humans," disagreed Hermione.
"And I hear they have got a veela," said Dean Thomas.
Ron snickered. They had seen Dean at the Quidditch World Cup a few years ago, and he has been crushing on veela ever since.
"I guess he didn't see what they turn into when they are mad," whispered Ron to Harry. For the first time that day, Harry smiled.
DADA.....
Everyone took their seats once they entered the class room. But when they looked up at the desk, no one was there. The office door was opened a crack and a boy from Ravenclaw who Harry didn't know went up to look. He peeked in and looked back at the class and shrugged. Then the room started to fill with a fog like substance.
"Everyone! Cover your mouth!" shouted Hermione while putting the sleeve of her robe to her mouth. Everyone else followed suit. Harry looked quizically at Hermione, who had her wand out. She muttered some words and a bubble grew around her head. Harry saw the students nearest to her do the same.
"Bubble Head Charm," whispered a voice behind him. He whirled around to face Dominique, who already had a bubble on her head.
"Ok. Um, Bubblecraymortus!"
Imiediately a bubble grew around his head. He started to breath normally and he went over to Hermione.
"What is this stuff?" "Garroting Gas, very poisonous when given in large amounts. And the stuff Fred and Gearoge were going to use last year was just an unstable mist."
Suddenly they heard clapping behind them. They looked up to see women with bright red hair.
"Tonks!" yelled the three friends.
"Wotcher Harry, Hermione, Ron," greeted Tonks with a smile. She turned to the class.
"All right everyone, good job. I am your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Proffesor Tonks." She waved her wand and the gas disapeared. "Now, the Bubble Head Charm, very useful when coming across a poisonous gas. But you all need to work on your reflexes. And 20 points to Gryffindor, for reminding everyone about the charm and demonstrating it."
A cheer broke out and they all instantly liked their new teacher. All except for the Slytherins. They seemed to loathe their new teacher. Harry guessed it was because they hadnt thought of the charm first. And that the teacher favored the Gryffindors more than them.
"Now, I know some of you, but I don't know most of you, so let me introduce myself, I am Proffesor Tonks, I am an Auror part of the time but Dumbledore wanted me to come this year, and for a few more years. Even with the rumors that the job is jinxed. Now, as some of you know, I am a Metamorphagus, can anyone tell me what that is?"
Parvati raised her hand.
"Yes Parvati?"
"A Metamorphagus is a person who can change their appearance with will, so they are very good at disguises."
"Your in Gryffindor, correct?"
"Yes Proffesor."
"5 points to Gryffindor for Miss Patil's excellent explanation."
The Slytherins sulked even more, Malfoy just laughed.
"How can you think those Mud-Blood lovers are smart?"
"Malfoy right?"
"Yes."
"Ah yes, Moody told me about the AMAZING BOUNCING FERRET, I even know the spell..."
Malfoy blushed a deep tomato red, and the rest of the class laughed. Tonks pulled out her wand a faked a wave, Malfoy gave a girlish shriek and hid behind Crabbe, the class laughed harder. No one laughed as much as Tonks, Hermione, Ron, and Harry.
Lunch...
"That was such a cool lesson don't you think Harry?"
Harry didn't answer, he was still enjoying the moment when Malfoy shrieked like a 5 year old girl.
"Harry?"
"Huh? What?"
Harry turned to who was speaking and it was Dominique.
"Yeah?"
"Can I talk to you? Privately," she added eyeing Ron, who was getting up to follow.
"Sure. I'll be back in a minute guys."
Harry followed Dominique outside of the Great Hall to an empty classroom.
"What do you want?" asked Harry as he closed the door behind them.
"I want to talk about, you know, um, last night."
"Whats there to talk about, you're mad at me, and that's that."
"No, Harry, I didn't mean to be so rude about it, its just that, well, I hate to remember it and Harry, truth is, I was kind of glad I told you, you're the only person who is like me in this entire school, and I kinda like you."
"But-But, I thought you liked Malfoy!"
"I did, or at least, I thought I did, I am still going to see him, just to get a little bit of his dignity back."
"But why?"
"No one should be treated like that, even Malfoy."
"I guess so..."
"Lets get back to the Great Hall, I'm starving."
Dominiques stomach gave a low angry growl. The two of them laughed as they entered the Great Hall.
