A Travel Through Time: First Lesson
**************************************************************************** *
Harry sighed. He seemed to be doing a lot of that lately.
He looked at his lesson schedule. Seventh year Gryffindors and Slytherins first.
He groaned. James was in it. That could make a whole lot of things more complicated. He could just pray that James did NOT tell the other Marauders about Mr. Harry Potter.
'Hmm. I have to teach them about defending themselves from Voldie.' He quickly scanned the whole lesson plan made for him (since it was his first lesson) and snickered. You could have called it a Survival Class then Defense Against Dark Arts.
Harry stood up and walked out of his room for breakfast.
He looked around the hall, where everyone had gone silent for Harry's arrival.
Not caring, Harry made his way to the staff table and took his seat next to a wide-eyed Professor Flitwick.
Dumbledore cleared his throat and stood up. "A new Defense Against Dark Arts professor has joined us, and will start teaching today. His name is Harry Granger. Please warmly welcome him to our school."
There was a polite scatter of applauds. Harry just shrugged, stood up and bowed a little before quickly returning to his seat and began eating.
Everyone looked very skeptical.
"Well? Why isn't everyone eating?" Harry asked aloud, and the usual buzz throughout the hall returned as they all began eating.
James stared at the new strange Professor hard.
'I am a living that doesn't belong here, and my name is not to be remembered.'
What did it mean? He didn't belong here? Why was he here then? James had a lot of questions whirling through his mind.
"Yo Prongsie, come back to Earth!"
James whipped around and glared at Sirius, annoyed. "What? And it's ProngS, not ProngSIE!" he retorted indignantly.
Sirius snickered. "Yeah, sure, Prongsalina."
James simply glared.
Remus cleared his throat. "We've been wondering, you know, why you stormed in and said the this 'Harry Potter' Obliviated us. Did someone really?"
Sirius's ears perked up. "You were? By a Potter? James, you had an evil relative? Who's Harry? I never knew-"
"That's enough, Sirius." Remus said, looking amused.
James humphed and crossed his arms. "That. was a misunderstanding. Wasn't in my right mind then."
"Yeah, Prongsiekins, like you have a mind."
"It's ProngS! And you must be talking about yourself. You never had a mind."
"Will you guys just shut up and eat?" Peter broke in with a mouthful of potatoes.
Remus took out his schedule. "Look! We have Defense first thing. We get to meet Professor Granger!"
Sirius clapped his hands with glee. "Yay! We get to prank him! We'll make sure he knows quite well about the Marauders."
James shook his head. "I don't think it's a very good idea."
Sirius pouted. "When have you become such a party pooper, James?"
"I mean, he just appears out of nowhere, and he calls You-Know-Who -Voldie- ! Who knows what he's capable of?"
Remus went pale. "-Voldie-? He has a pet name for You-Know-Who?"
James shrugged. "Seems like it."
Sirius shook his head. "So? We'll just prank him. He can't be any different from the others."
James groaned. He didn't like this one bit. No, not at all.
*****************DADA Class! **********************
The class was chattering brightly as they waited for their new mysterious professor, Professor Granger.
James muttered, "Sirius, let's just forget this-"
Sirius shook his head vigorously. "No way! We will prank him, we will we will!"
Peter snickered. "Old Padfoot always seems to want to prank new teachers."
"Yeah, and drive them out of school." Remus replied, now engrossed in a book.
"Oh, come on you guys-"
Sirius stopped in mid-sentence when Professor Granger entered. James stared intently at him.
"Hello everyone, I will be your new Defense teacher Professor Granger."
Harry looked around the class. "Please put away your books. We'll just discuss a few things today, since it is my- our- first lesson."
There were rustling sounds as everyone put away their books.
"Now. Can anyone tell me about Wandless Magic?"
Harry mentally snickered. Very different from his lesson plans, but it should work. Survival would have to be put away until Voldie made his first move. (A/n: You'll know soon)
Lily Evans hand shot up.
"Miss Evans?" Harry asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Wandless Magic is a type of Magic you do without using a wand. But, only a limited number of people can do Wandless Magic normally, as if using a wand. Normal people also can do wandless magic, but they would need to practice a lot and would only be able to do simple charms, such a 'Lumos' or a simple stunning spell. So far, only Merlin and Dumbledore were able to use Wandless Magic properly." Lily, satisfied, sat back down.
Harry smiled. "Very good. 5 points for Gryffindor. Yes, Merlin and Dumbledore are able to do Wandless Magic. But there is one other who can do Wandless Magic like Merlin and Dumbledore. And that person," Harry snapped his fingers and there was a single bread roll placed on everyone' desk. "Can anyone figure it out?"
Everyone was gawking as they stared at the bread roll on their desk.
"Go ahead, eat it, it won't kill you. Consider it a present from me." Harry replied smoothly.
James was staring at Harry. No wonder Harry had Obliviated Sirius empty- handed! He was a danger, no doubt. Even if they had taken away his wand, he could curse anyone.
"Now here is the activity we shall be doing today. I want everyone to practice your Wandless Magic. Perhaps at the end of our lesson we may do a wandless magic duel. Well, partner up and begin practicing!" Harry barked at them.
Everyone quickly began pairing up. Harry smiled. Teaching wasn't so bad.
"Better practice stunning spells or disarming charms. Something simple, okay? You can start off by Lumos or something. Or at least try getting out some sparks. Got me?" Harry called through the crowd.
Soon there were sparks coming out of people's hand, but that was all.
By the end of the lesson, only five people managed stunning spells. They were Lily, Remus, James, Sirius and Snape.
Harry's eyes glinted. "Ok, class, we have five people that will be able to perform in our Wandless Magic Duel. Our first duel shall be Mr. Black verse Mr. Lupin. Will you guys please come up?"
Sirius was skipping towards the front as Remus nervously walked up.
"May I have your wands please?" Sirius and Remus both handed Harry their wands.
"Now, this is the same as a regular wizard duel, except you will not use your wands. Since you guys are not natural at wandless magic, there may be times when nothing will happen, or only sparks will come out. Since you can't block the spells (unless you figured out how) you will have to move around and dodge spells fast. It will be an important part. Now, enough of my blabbering. Start!"
Remus and Sirius bowed to each other and raised their hands. (A/n: nearly wrote wands)
"Stupefy!" "Stupefy!"
A light appeared from Sirius' hand and headed towards Remus, whereas Remus hadn't managed anything. Remus dodged it just in time.
"Concentrate, Mr. Lupin, concentrate! Don't let your fears take over your power. Let the magic flow out of your hands."
Remus, now having more courage then before, yelled "Stupefy!"
Sirius narrowly avoided it as well. Soon, spells were flying, but the duel ended when they were shooting spells at each other, and Remus couldn't get a spell out. Sirius won.
"Well done, Mr. Black. You too, Mr. Lupin. You both did a wonderful job. Next, Mr. Evans and Mr. Snape shall duel. Please come up and give me your wands."
They both handed him their wands and got ready.
"Start!"
Spells were flying. This was a lot flashier and complicated then Remus and Sirius'.
Snape was smiling smugly. It was clear he had the upper hand. It would be easy, defeating the mudblood.
Thinking about it was a mistake.
At the moment Snape let himself get distracted from his thoughts, the stunning spell didn't work, and Lily's hit right at him.
"Very well, Miss Evan's." Harry praised and handed her her wand as she smiled smugly, while Harry revived Snape, who went back to his seat muttering, "I was beaten by a -mudblood-."
Harry smiled to the class. "Now, we have Mr. Black, Mr. Potter, and Miss Evans."
"Now, who should fight with who first? Any ideas?" Harry asked to the class.
Arabella Figg, Lily's best friend raised her hand. "I think Black and Potter should duel first. Potter hasn't dueled yet, anyways. And Lily just did a duel."
The professor nodded. "Ok. Then I think we shall start from Mr. Potter and Mr. Black. Winner gets to duel with Miss Evans here."
The class whistled and cheered as Hogwarts two most popular boys stepped up.
Sirius smiled at James smugly. "Now, bow and START!" Harry yelled.
James raised his hand, but Sirius was quicker. A stunning charm swept towards him, but with his Quidditch reflexes, James dodged it just in time.
Now, James, getting the hang of it (a little), raised his hand and yelled, "Petrific Totalus!"
There was a stunned silence as Sirius fell to the floor as stiff as a board.
Harry was smiled fondly at James. His father doing wandless magic wasn't too much of a surprise. After all, Harry could do wandless magic.
He faced the class and clapped his hands. "Well, it seems like we found another wandless magic user in our class. Mr. Potter!"
James gave everyone his charming grin and bowed. There were many cheers and claps as James bowed.
"Um. Professor Granger? I think we should take the curse off Black now." came a murmuring voice.
"Oh! I'm sorry! I didn't notice!"
After Sirius had been restored, Harry faced the class again. "Well, we might as well do the last duel too. Mr. Potter, Miss Evans, get ready!"
James, now full of new found confidence, stepped up and bowed to Lily, who was looking quite scared.
"Start!"
"Stupefy!"
"Expilliarmus!"
"Stupefy!"
"Petrific Totalus!"
"Stupefy!"
"."
Suddenly, the Jelly Legs hit Lily. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Lily crashed down to the ground as she was caught by surprise.
Harry smiled. "It seems like Mr. Potter is the winner. Well done, both of you."
As Lily and James both received their wands back and returned to their seats, Harry turned to the class.
"Now we had our unofficial duel. Does anyone have questions?"
Frank Longbottom's hand shot up. "Why was James able to do the Jelly Leg's without saying anything?"
Harry smiled mysteriously. "A user of wandless magic can conjure spells without saying anything. All they have to do is imagine, or say, the spell in their heart. Everyone has the power to do this, except a normal person has more difficulty in doing this and has to go deep into their hearts to find the power. It is also not as powerful as a proper user."
"Now, enough. Since we had such a good lesson today, I will reward you with- "
"Homework."
There were groans around the class as the word homework was mentioned.
"I want an essay about what we learned today about wandless magic. It would be well if you look up some stuff about it, too. Well, you're dismissed."
The class stood up grumbling about homework.
"Awesome. Just awesome. Wasn't the class so interesting? Professor Granger is definitely a cool teacher." Remus said.
"Yeah. Did you -see- me in action? I am so good." Sirius said, grinning.
Suddenly, he stopped. "AH! We forgot to prank Professor Granger!"
Peter snickered. "Sirius forgot a prank, Sirius forgot a prank,"
Remus shrugged. "I don't think it'll be good idea to prank Professor Granger, Sirius."
Sirius stopped and put his hands on his hips. "And why not?"
"Did you -see- his wandless magic? And he practically has a sixth sense! You think it'll be a good idea to prank -him-? What do you think, James?"
James remained tight-lipped.
"James? Earth to James?"
James glared at Sirius. "I actually agree with Remus. He's not a good person to prank. He's dangerous, and is one hell of a dark wizard."
There was a trade of confusing glances.
"Are you kidding? Professor Granger has got to be the coolest professor in the world!" Remus exclaimed.
James looked around and said in a low voice, "Look, guys. He's dangerous, and I mean dangerous. I -saw- him doing some dark stuff, so we should just leave him alone."
"But-"
There was a scream from the Great Hall. "DEATHEATERS!"
All four became very pale.
"Shit! Come on, guys! We have to go help them!"
They all ran into the Great Hall, to find the worst nightmare of their lives- Deatheaters attacking Hogwarts.

So short. But don't mind me. Just review!
