(Thank you for all of the reviews! Okay, first of all, Zalana is not a Mary-Sue, but thank you for telling me that she comes across as one. Her faults are going to be in this chapter, so feel free to tell me if she is still in Mary Sue status! Second, I know my grammar and spelling are a little off, I am working on it. Third, of course this is unrealistic, it is a fantasy for a reason! Just for fun. I know that the plot is somewhere in my mind, but I have find it myself. I think that it may have to be based on the fact that there is a dragon as a teacher! Keep the reviews coming and I will keep writing for you!)

Ron ran as fast as he could down to the dungeon for that morning's classes of Dracology. He was late and he knew it, and late wasn't a word when dealing with a female dragon that seemed to be slightly… well, off.

Ron walked slowly into the dungeon and sat down between Harry and Hermione for the second day of classes. Draco and his two goons sat across the aisle from them, seemingly ready to bolt out of the classroom.

 "Ron, you are late!" Hermione said as Ron sat down.

"I slept in, okay?" Ron hissed softly.

"Shh! Guys, listen!" Harry hushed his friends. The two looked over at Draco, Crabbe and Goyle. They were lost in conversations.

"There is something fishy about that teacher!" Draco was saying. "She hasn't eaten or drank anything at any of the meals!"

"What do you mean Draco?" Harry spat.

"What I mean Potter is that I think she is a vampire. She hasn't eaten a bite in front of any of the students, she never even has something to drink in class!"

Harry and Ron exchanged glances, Hermione thought back to the start of the school year feast, and Draco was right, she hadn't eaten anything during that feast or during any other time; in front of students.

"Draco, a teacher of Dracology… a vampire? Come on, give me a break, I mean… Why would  a vampire teach Dracology?" Ron gave a worried look to Hermione.

"Think about it Weasley! She teaches in the dungeon! She never has eaten ANYTHING! She is too pale, and have you seen those eyes?" Draco shuddered.

"Speaking about Professor ShadowLight, where is she? Class started ten minutes ago…" Hermione whispered to Ron and Harry.

"Maybe she is just running late." Harry said.

As if on cue, the professor of Dracology came running in. Her long hair was pulled back in a ponytail and her eyes gleamed with the light from the candles.

"Sorry I am tardy." She said softly, walking to the front of the room. "Please…" She sat down and opened up her briefcase and looked around the room. "Uh… what assignment did I give you for today?" She asked.

Hermione's hand shot up.

"Yes Ms. Granger…" The dragon lady smiled.

"A paragraph about dracology and all that we know about it!" Hermione said happily.

"Thank you Ms. Granger." Class, please turn in your assignments then…" ShadowLight shot a glance at Hermione as if to say thank you.

The class turned in their assignments, and Zalana stood in front of the class to read them, "Uh, good… good…" She said softly and smiled, putting them in her briefcase, hopping that nobody had seen her look of panic.

"Open your books to Page 3 please." She said, and the rustling of paper was heard as students obeyed her commands. "Today we are going to learn about the intelligence of dragons; the different species and how they can interact with their environments." She opened her book and looked at the class. "We are going to read this together." She glanced downward at the pages of Dragonic scroll that was her book, the student's books were English with some Dragonic in it. "Ms. Granger, will you read the first page?"

Hermione sat up straighter and nodded to the teacher, and she began to read, "The idea that dragons are stupid eating machines and contain no intelligence at all is an old myth that is difficult to reverse in the words of the humans. Dragons are considered dangerous and mean, but the opposite is true, for most dragons." Hermione continued reading.

"And the species of dragons are?" ShadowLight said after Hermione finished reading the page of writings.

"Welsh Green?" A Slytherin girl in the front row said.

"Good, and?"

 "Norwegian Ridgeback?" Ron said.

"Good Ronald." Said the Professor, Ron blushed.

Harry swallowed hard and raised his hand, "Antipodean Opaleye!"


The teacher stared at him for a few extra seconds before turning to the board to write down every species of dragon that they had said. Harry suddenly realized that he was sweating.

"Mr. Potter, what do you know about an Antipodean Opaleye?" She hissed a little.

"I know that they are a very smart breed of dragon and are capable of a lot more then people give them credit. I know that that particular breed comes from New Zealand and eats only sheep and goats, never humans as other breeds of dragons tend to do."

The professor nodded and smiled, "Very good Mr. Potter. Mr. Malfoy do you know anything else about this particular breed of dragon?"

Draco looked up, "Pardon Ma'am?"

"It would help if you paid some attention to the class Mr. Malfoy. I asked you about the breed of dragon that is known as an Antipodean Opaleye." Her solid pink orbs gazed at Draco.

"They are a rare breed of dragons that aren't seen often." Draco stammered softly as the teacher glared at him.

"Mr. Malfoy, I want a three page report on Antipodean Opaleyes next Tuesday, not a day later, do you understand me?" She walked over towards Draco. She stopped and turned around, "That goes for all of you! Pick a species of dragon and write me a three page report by Tuesday. If everyone turns it in, I will have a special treat for you, if I can arrange it with the HeadMaster." The class looked at each other with a look of fear and confusion.

Harry looked at Ron and Hermione and thought for a minute, "Guys! You don't think she is going to do what I think she is going to do, do you?"

Hermione glanced at Ron then at Harry, "She can't, she would be captured by the Ministry of Magic Control of Magical creatures before she could even explain herself!" 

Ron looked at the look that Draco had, he looked as if he is going to pass out. "I do hope that she doesn't do anything drastic. I mean, Draco is a Malfoy and his father may come to pay our teacher a visit if she keeps 'heckling' him."

Hermione snorted, "Ron, she isn't heckling him, she is teaching the way she knows how. Keep in mind what she is and that will help explain things. She isn't picking on him on purpose."

"Have a good afternoon class, and I will see you later!" She sat at her desk.

Everyone in the classroom stood up to leave. Ron, Harry and Hermione stood, waiting for the rest of the class to disappear through the dungeon door.

"Harry, Ron and Hermione, can you come here for a moment?" The soft voice came from their professor, and it sounded as if she were devastated.

"Professor?" Hermione ran up towards the desk.

"I have a favor to ask of you three." She said softly, her pink orbs looking at them.

"Anything at all Professor, anything." Harry said.

"Could you three help me grade papers?" Zalana frowned.

"Sure Professor, but why?" Ron looked at her.

The teacher put her head down on the desk and let out a deep breath. "Because… I can't read English… just write a few things and read some print, most of the students wrote in cursive, handwriting, and I can't read it."

Ron, Harry and Hermione exchanged glances.

A/N: There, how is that for a good chapter? She has her problems nonetheless! (Is she still coming across as a Mary-Sue? I can add something more.
