Chapter 3
Padmé did bring up what happened in the first class with Harry again and the classes because the centre of conversation for all who took it and even some who didn't but had heard of it from the students who did.
There were many different things that made the students like the classes; it depended on the students' personality and interests to what it was.
To the girls who spent all their spare time swapping fashion tips it was the elaborate dresses that Padmé and Sabe wore, a different one for everyday.
To the intellectual students that loved to learn new things, it was all the unknown information of another galaxy on the other side of the universe.
To the Rough and tumble boys it was the Battles, Wars and Weapons that they learned about.
But no matter what their values and opinions were the class suited everyone.
Also as an added bonus it had been a relatively normal year so far till 3 weeks after Christmas when Dumbledore addressed the school at dinner.
"Students as you all know Voldemort is back. It has come to the teachers attention that if he was to attack the school a lot of you would panic and a lot of you would be killed for that reason." Dumbledore stopped to let that sink in.
"So to help resolve this problem we are going to start honing your skills in defence. We want to make you all more alert, even in school. So from today the teachers will be trying different techniques to help you. This will also include shooting curses at you in class or the corridors. If you manage to dodge the curse then you will be rewarded with house points.
"We also would like you all to know that if you want some help with a certain curse or charm that may be useful there are some students that you can go to for help. Would DA please stand?"
Harry looked around at his fellow DA members in surprise; he noticed that they all had the same look on their faces. They all looked to him for instructions and he stood up, followed by the rest of the group.
"These students went against Professor Umbridge last year and started a defence league of sorts to make sure they could defend themselves if the school was attack or they themselves were attacked. I am sure that they would all be willing to help you out if help is needed." Dumbledore looked directly at Harry who nodded his consent then sat down again followed by the other students who had stood.
"Now are there any questions?" A couple of students put up their hands and Dumbledore called for each to speak.
"So we could be just walking down a corridor and a teacher will jump out and try to curse us?"
"Yes, but try not to get to paranoid about it, please, it won't necessarily happen to you, it is just to teach you to defend yourselves and friends."
"Wait, so if someone attacks a friend we can defend them?"
"Well we wouldn't expect you to just stand there, you are very welcome to help your friends. Any more questions? No? Well of to your common rooms all of you." Dumbledore sat down again and everyone left.
