Dark Arts and a Werewolf
Harry sat down in his Potions class in his usual seat between Ron and Hermione. Ron was, he noticed, had been glaring at Snape, most likely in disbelief, for taking points off from Gryffindor on the very first day of term. As soon as Harry sat down though, he was bombarded with questions from a bewildered looking Hermione and a now confused Ron.
"What happened?" both Ron and Hermione whispered together so Snape wouldn't hear. "Malfoy jumped me," Harry explained. "That bloody git," Ron spat, "he's gonna pay." At this Hermione put a hand on his arm as if afraid he would jump on Malfoy. "Ron," she said, "diving on Malfoy in the middle of potions right underneath his head of house's nose wont do any good, if it does anything besides land you in detention and lose at Gryffindor at least a hundred house points. "She's right Ron and you know it whether you like it or not," added Harry. "Fine," said Ron relaxing again and going back to his potion.
An hour later they were heading into Defense Against the Dark Arts. Everyone was especially anxious to go to that class because Professor Lupin returned after Professor Umbridge got chased out of the school by the students and Peeves who was more than happy to oblige to the rest of the school by chasing her with Professor McGonagall's walking stick.(For all those who forgot about that incident. And yes. Remus Lupin has returned in my fic.)
There was a rumor floating around the school that as soon as Umbridge had been chased out of the castle Professor Dumbledore had gone back up to his office and owled Professor Lupin asking him if he was interested in the job. Despite the incident in the trio's third year he accepted. Now Defense Against the Dark Arts was swiftly becoming the most popular and most favored subject at Hogwarts. Despite themselves, even the Slytherins were enjoying Professor Lupin's classes even though they wouldn't be caught dead admitting it.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were the first ones to get to Professor Lupin's classroom that afternoon. Not long after them the rest of the Gryffindors arrived. When the bell rang the trio decided to take seats at the very front of the classroom, side-by-side, so they could have a better view. They only had to wait a few minutes before Professor Lupin walked in. "Good afternoon class," he greeted them all. "Good afternoon Professor Lupin," said the whole class in unison. "Welcome back Professor Lupin," Harry, Ron, and Hermione greeted hi.
All of a sudden the whole class broke into complaints about Umbridge. "She looks like a toad," said Dean Thomas. "She was an old, not to mention ugly, hag!" exclaimed Ron over everybody else. At this statement everyone burst out laughing. Everyone was shocked to see that Hermione was laughing along with them. "Okay everyone. Settle down. We still have an hour and a half left of class," said Professor Lupin. At this everyone quieted down as their professor took roll.
As he went down the list of students they each greeted him differently. Some said something like, "Welcome back Professor Lupin," and others would say something completely different like, "Long time no see Professor," and he in turn greeted them all with an, "it's great to be back."
Defense Against the Dark Arts was over to the dislike of many students. They really didn't want it to end. They grumbled a lot, but eventually made it down to the great hall for Dinner. They had had lunch right after Potions. Dinner that night was magnificent. They had a variety of meats, pies, cakes, and other such things. Ron and Hermione started filling their plates with food. Harry on the other hand was staring at the direction of the Slytherin table. "Harry, what's wrong," asked Hermione who was the first to notice this. "Look at Malfoy," is all Harry said.
They did as Harry said and it took them a split second to notice why Harry had been looking at the Slytherin table. Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle were all sitting on the same side of the table and were huddled together apparently speaking in whispered tones to one another. "I wonder what they're scheming about," said Ron. "Me too," said both Harry and Hermione. "Probably trying to get back at us," said Harry. "Maybe we should follow them out of the Great Hall when they leave and see what they do," said Ron. "Ok," said Harry. "What about you 'Mione?" Hermione rolled her eyes, but agreed rather reluctantly. "Great, then it's settled," said Ron.
Soon after they had finished dinner Malfoy and his two cronies Crabbe and Goyle got up to leave the Great Hall. As soon as they were through the doors Harry, Ron, and Hermione followed them. They saw Malfoy looking around the corridor so they hid behind the statue of Boris the Bewildered. Seconds later Malfoy entered an empty classroom some way off to the trio's left. They waited for the door to close after the three Slytherins. As soon as the door was closed they ran towards it as quietly as they could and pressed their ears against it. "Damn. Malfoy must have put the silencing charm on it," said Ron. "Shush, Ron," said Hermione.
Hermione muttered something the other two couldn't hear, which must have been the counter curse since now they could hear movement and voices inside the room. Unfortunately it seemed to be the end of Malfoy's meeting because they soon could hear footsteps coming towards the door. The trio dived back behind a suit of Armour careful not to make a sound so the Slytherins wouldn't hear them and know they had been spying.
Seconds after they had hidden behind the suit of Armour the doorknob of the classroom opened and out stepped Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle. "Did you hear that?" they heard Malfoy ask the other two Slytherins. Hermione realized that she had been breathing loudly. Ron heard and hurriedly clamped his hand over her mouth. "Um…duh…nope," said Goyle. Draco rolled his eyes at Goyle. He muttered something under his breath that sounded a lot like something about Goyle being so dumb that if he got any dumber he would be going backwards. With that the three Slytherins walked away towards the dungeons and their common room.
After the Slytherins were out of sight and out of earshot they climbed out from behind the suit of Armour. "I wonder what that was all about," said Harry. "I dunno," replied Ron. We should probably get back to the common room before Filch catches us out this late and puts us all in detention," said Ron. "Good thinking mate," said Harry. The trio then headed back to their own common room when they ran into none other than……
"Professor Snape?"
