A/N;Sorry its taken long, but expect a chapter a week at the most, also special thanks to my beta reader Ryan Potts P. hD, for helping with Grammer and also for those who review. Also I don't own Harry Potter or its characters.
The after day, after Alex made the prophecy, she was making a lessen plan for the DA she had plan to create for this reality, when she was interrupted by Hermione. "Alex, what are you doing?" Hermione asked, looking over a stack of parchments in front of Alex. "Oh nothing much, just listing simple spells, to study." Alex said, as she continued writing. "Well it is almost dinner; we should head to the great hall now to avoid the rush." Hermione suggested, and Alex quickly banished her parchments to her trunk, before heading out with Hermione.
In the great hall, Alex and Hermione was the first to enter, but a voice stopped Alex. "Alex, can we talk for a second?" Dumbledore pleasantly asked, and took Alex out into the hallway. "Are your lesson plans ready for your Defense club?" Dumbledore asked. "I should be done before tomorrow morning, do you want to see it?" Alex asked, as she waved her hand, and a parchment appeared. "This is a copy, of what I have at the moment." Alex said, handing the parchment over. "Hmm, yes the spells are acceptable, are you sure you can teach them?" Dumbledore asked. "Sir, I should have no problem." Alex said, sounding like she meant it. "Then I will announce your club right after dinner." Dumbledore informed her, before heading into the great hall, with Alex following.
Once seated on the Gryffindor table, Ron who had arrived late got seated by Alex and Hermione. "Hey Alex, what were you talking to professor Dumbledore about?" Ron asked, as he looked ready to grab the food, once it appeared. "Just something we have been planning since last night." Alex said, as she noticed, the parchment she gave to Dumbledore being passed about the head table. "Does it have to do, to what you were doing in the common room?" Hermione asked. "Actually yes, but you two will learn soon enough." Alex said, just as the food appeared.
Just as dinner was over, Dumbledore stood up, as he tapped his cup for attention. "Now that everyone has had their fill, I have an announcement." Dumbledore stopped as everyone looked to him. "We are facing a terrible time, and I feel that we need as much practice in defense as we can possibly get." Dumbledore started as he looked about. "Because of that, I created a Defense Club is to be held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, right after Dinner. This club is for Fourth years and up, so anyone who is interested, please stay once dinner is over." Once Dumbledore said that, he sat down, as talks about the club circulated, about the hall.
In a little while, the first through third years, reputedly left the great hall, while leaving the rest of the student sitting on the sides, of the room waiting for instructions.
Once the students were ready, Dumbledore, whom was standing in the center of the great hall, once again spoke up. "For this club, there will be three professors supervising, they will be professors Black, Lupin, and Snape." After Dumbledore said their names, they stepped up." Even though they will be here, the entire club will be run by Miss Alexandra Potter, since she has an insanely vast knowledge of spells, she would be perfect for teaching you all." Just as Dumbledore said that, he was interrupted. "Professor Dumbledore, I would like to test Miss Potter on her Dueling skills." Snape said unemotionally. "Professor Snape, I don't think-" Dumbledore started, but was once again interrupted. "Sir, I accept your challenge." Alex said stepping up to Snape. "But first let's make a little wager to make this interesting. Hmm?" Alex asked. "And what shall the stakes be?" Snape ask. "If I lose, I will both drop from teaching the club, and have detention for you for the rest of the school year." Alex said, as Snape grinned ferally. "And what will happen if I lose, which won't happen?" Snape said still grinning madly. "You must promise, you won't be biased against any of the houses or students, and be nicer to me." Alex delivered her ultimatum, and as she said this the grin on Snape's face disappeared for a second. "I accept, since I know, you will lose." Snape said, as he held out his hand, and both shook on it. "Now we have gotten that settled, please Duelists, get to your positions." Dumbledore said, as Alex and Snape, got on the dueling platform.
Once on the platform, Alex and Snape shook hands, and walked back ten paces. "Expelliarmus!" Snape yelled, before Alex could turn around, she was thrown backwards, but rolled to a standing position. "Wrong move! Rictusempra!" Alex yelled. "Protego!" Snape yelled, and Alex's spell was reflected back, but luckily Alex dodged it. "Tarantallegra!" Alex yelled, and Snape side step it. "Stupefy!" Snape yelled. "Protego!" Alex called out; sending the spell back, but Snape sidestepped it.
Once Snape dodge the spell, both Alex and Snape stared at each other. "Not bad for a Potter," Snape said unkindly. "Just getting started professor. Shall we take it up a notch?" Alex asked, and then pointed her wand at herself. "Miraggi!" Alex yelled, and for second her body glowed, then nothing. "Oops, I still need more practice?" Alex said, looking at herself. "Impedimenta!" Snape yelled, but to his surprise, the spell went through Alex. "Stupefy!" Called out a voice from behind Snape, but he quickly rolled to the side, just barely dodging the spell. "Stupefy!" Snape called out, as he spun. "Protego!" Alex yelled, sending the spell back, but Snape dodge it.
Both Snape and Alex again were facing each other. "So the young witch knows some advanced spells, Pietrificato!" Snape called out, pointing his wand at Alex's wand hand, and before Alex could do anything, her arm was turned to stone. "Oh darn, I guess you got me." Alex said, since her right arm was useless. "Will you give up now, or face more unpleasantries." Snape said, pointing his wand at Alex. "Then I have no choice but to-" Alex started, then quickly raising her left hand. "Trasformi in un corvo!" Alex called out, and a beam of red light shot out of her hand, and hit Snape, then his body glowed, and then shrunk, turning into a black raven. "I guess I won huh?" Alex said, as she picked up Snape's wand, that was lying on the floor. "CAW, CAW!" The bird called out angrily. "Spoil sport, Rimuova incantesimo!" Alex called out, and Snape was back to normal. "POTTER!" Snape said angrily. "Now professor, we had a deal, you promise to be nice to me, and all of the other houses, if I won." Alex said grinning, at the same time, both threw back Snape's wand, and wandlessly remove the advance petrified spell on her arm. "Don't worry, Miss Alexandra Potter, I will stick to our deal!" Snape said dryly, and then stepped off the dueling platform as all the houses, except for Slytherin, cheered Alex on.
After a few minutes, Dumbledore stepped up. "Thank you all for attending today, this will be it for today." Once Dumbledore said that, there were groans from the students, since they wanted to see more. "Also to let you know, the Defense Club will be starting, after the holidays, now good night." Dumbledore said, and the students poured out of the great hall, talking excitedly about the Defense Club.
Out in the hallways, Hermione and Ron waited for Alex, and once they spotted her. "Alex, why didn't you tell us?" Ron asked. "I wanted to surprise you guys." Alex said simply, as they walked to their common room. "Alex, are we going to learn everything you know?" Hermione asked, looking hopeful. "Actually, only about 1/4th of everything, since many of the spells I know, need a tremendous amount of power behind them." Alex warned. "Well I don't care, as long, as it gives us an edge against Death Eaters." Ron said looking hopeful at Alex. "Yes, Ron all of the spells I will be teaching, will make anyone good enough to stand against almost all Death Eaters or Hit Wizards." Alex informed them, to the relief of Ron.
Up to the Christmas Holidays, the Duel Alex had with Snape, was the talk of the school, and everyone was looking forward to Defense Club. With the student support, Alex knew, she will succeed as well as Harry did, in the other reality.
