***Later that day in DADA****

Harry, Ron, and Hermione were sitting in the DADA classroom waiting for the new teacher to arrive.

"I can't believe you said that to Professor Snape. Harry what were you thinking?" Hermione asked.

"I don't know what got into me. I guess I was just getting frustrated with him always saying things about my parents."

"You know you should really pay more attention to how he acts and what he says." Hermione said. She saw and heard perfectly everything that professor Snape said and did. She just didn't know if she should tell him or not. Harry didn't have the chance to reply because a woman with long red hair who appeared to be in her mid thirties walked into the room.

"Hello everyone, I am Professor Naves your new teacher. Maybe I'll last longer then your previous ones, Hmmm?" she seemed vaguely familiar but Harry couldn't put his finger on it.

"Today we will learn about how to ward off vampires. Can anyone tell me what is most commonly used to ward off vampires? Ah yes you miss and could you tell me your name please?"

"Hermione Granger, Professor Garlic is most commonly used to ward off vampires. They are allergic to it and if they are around it for long periods of time they will either faint or die depending on how long they are around it," Said Hermione with her usual 'I know EVERYTHING' tone.

"Yes, thank you that is correct ten points to Gryffindor. Now can anyone besides Miss Granger tell me how to ward one off if their isn't any garlic around?" no one rose their hand. "All right turn to page fifteen in your textbook and we shall read about it."

"Alright class I expect each one of you to write a four paragraph page on how to tell if someone is a vampire and how to ward them off due next week. Class dismissed."

After they left the room Harry and Ron went back to the common room while Hermione went straight to the library to start her essay.

"I honestly don't see why she has to do her homework the day it's assigned," Said Ron who was a major procrastinator.

"Maybe it's so she's not always rushing through it like we are. Maybe we should start on our essays," Said Harry matter-of-factly.

Ron picked up a picture of Harry's mom and said "Harry you know what? The resemblance between Professor Naves and your mum is remarkable."

"Wow, I didn't notice it before." said Harry as him and Ron headed down to the great hall for dinner.
