First Class
#
Adriana was pacing in front of the sixth year Slytherins and Gryffindors, they were all talking except for Harry who was sitting cross-legged on the floor next to his friends with his eyes closed, Hermione and Ron talking about what they did over the summer. Adriana was still pacing she didn't look upset or annoyed, she was just striding across the front of the room loosely holding the battle-axe in her hand. Finally she stopped in the middle of the room, looked at her class then at the dummy at the back of the room. She drew back her arm slightly and threw the axe straight into the dummy's head. Everyone stopped and looked at her when they heard the noise, Harry just opened his eyes and smiled mysteriously.
'You're all gonna die,' Adriana told them, 'Voldemort's back and no matter how hard you wish it weren't true, he's still gonna be back. And you're all gonna die, 'cause that's the nice sticky reward for being human, for living. The hardest thing in this world is to live in it. And all of you muggle-borns who watch Buffy The Vampire Slayer will know exactly what I'm going on about.' Adriana walked to the back of the room and retrieved her axe. 'Goody. A rapt audience.' She walked back to the front of the room and put the axe down then sat down on her desk. 'Now where was I, oh yeah, Death. The reason you're all here is because you're gonna be in a war. That's right all of you before you even ask Mr Malfoy. You're all going to be fighting in this war, doesn't matter what side you're on, you're gonna end up fighting. And I'm here to prepare you. The 'Powers' are shifting, they're muttering nervously, telling us to align with the good or with the evil. It's telling us to choose. And right now I'm asking you to choose. Do you wanna be prepared for this fight or do you wanna die in it? If you do, sit down on the mats, if you don't. Get out.' Adriana waited patiently as her class stared blankly at her, including Harry, but he was still the first to move and was surprisingly followed by Draco Malfoy to be the first two from their houses to sit on the mats. Once everyone had decided that they were staying and sat on the mats, Adriana decided to start.
'Now today you won't be learning anything, all you will get is a demonstration, I will be sparring with one of you.' Everyone looked ate ach other nervously chattering excitedly and wondering who it was going to be. Adriana was pacing again in front of the front row, finally she stopped in front of Harry. 'Harry? Wanna dance?'
