First class
"Couldn't you think of a slightly neater way to eat raw stake?" Sirius asked Bakura, the sight and smell of blood having a dizzying effect on him.
"It's not my fault if you have a weak stomach." Bakura commented after daintily swallowing another chunk of meat, a residue of blood remaining around his mouth, having a very vampiric effect on his appearance.
"I do not have a weak stomach!" Sirius exclaimed, and the Great Hall suddenly grew silent around them. Looking up Sirius realized he had been a little louder then he had meant to be.
"Sure you don't." Bakura replied superiorly, tucking back in the Great Hall filled with muttering again. Sirius noted that several students stared at them on and off during the entire meal. Well an ex-convict and someone who looked as Bakura did would be quite a pair he supposed.
"May I have your attention please?" Dumbledore called as he rose. The hall immediately grew quiet. "We have a few things to note at the beginning of this new term. Firstly you shall have two Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin." At the mention of his name there was a collection of gasps and odd looks –to be expected- but they seemed happy enough at the mention of Remus; he had after all been a good teacher even if he had turned out to be a werewolf. "Also to add to the list on Filch's office door: canary creams, skiving snack boxes, fireworks of any kind, and swamp in a box are not allowed." This was of course taking into consideration the new joke shop that had popped up in Diagon Ally 'Weasley Wizard Wheezes' and their original stock. "Also as always the Forbidden Forest is forbidden. Now that I have fulfilled all that is required of me this evening, we shall retire to our common rooms." Dumbledore finished and after a few words with McGonagall he retired no doubt to his rooms.
"Where is the Pharaoh?" Bakura inquired after the feast, they all having the same route to their rooms. "Wasn't he going to come to Hogwarts?"
"He is here." Remus replied from Sirius' other side. "But along with a few other new students he is dinning separately, we felt the students had enough surprises with having me and Sirius as their new teachers, and you sitting up there eating raw stake." He finished giving Bakura a disapproving look.
"Just don't go around scaring first years." Remus finished. They had just finished breakfast and Bakura had decided to wonder the castle. "Because if you do!"
"You'll do what?" Bakura asked in his ever lazy manner, looking at Remus skeptically.
"It would be better if we just leave that open, shall we." Remus could obviously not think of anything to threaten Bakura with.
"Whatever." Bakura shrugged and turned to leave.
"Sirius we'd better be getting to our class." Remus added turning away from his adversary. "We have the sixth year Slytherin and Gryffindor first." He added referencing from a list in his hand.
"Why does Dumbledore always put those two houses together?" Sirius asked no one in particular, but it had always bothered him.
"Who knows?" Remus shrugged taking a seat behind the desk. "As discussed in our meeting with Dumbledore you shall be the bookwork one and I'll do practical application." Remus added as a bell somewhere rang and students started to filter in. Well so far no one Sirius actually recognized, but looking over his class list he spotted the name Draco Malfoy, he wouldn't have passed that little prat for the world.
A few minutes later another bell went off to signify that you should really be in class now. When a few seconds later there still was no sign of Harry, Hermione, or Ron Sirius looked at Remus questioningly.
Simply shrugging Remus stood to begin class when a yell came from a little ways down the hall.
"Don't you ever touch a hair on his head again! Do I make myself clear?" Came the unmistakable voice of Bakura in a towering rage.
"I'll get it." Sirius muttered to Remus and rose. "You just take roll call. It'll only be a second." Stepping out he looked up and down the hall, not sure what to expect. What he saw was the last thing he had been expecting. Was that Bakura defending one of those bizarre-looking new students?
