CHAPTER 2: Class Rules
Welsh started her day off rather well, the 1st year students were easy enough to settle down. By the time she had her 5th years in class Welsh was feeling a bit more relaxed. Looking around she smiled slightly.
"Good afternoon class."
"Afternoon." voices answered her.
"As you already know I am professor Welsh, this is 5th year Defense Against the Dark Arts. We are going to start your 1st day off somewhat bizarre."
Welsh stopped to look around.
"Alright lets start with the rules.
1. I am not your other teachers, I expect you to have manners in my class. There will be no cut ups or picking on other students in here. Doing so will result in 5 points taken from your house.
2. Points, I give as well as take points. A few things that can help you get points taken away are, snickering, cut ups, picking on others, and being tardy. You'll learn how to get them back.
3. You are here to learn not play. This class is for your own good, paying attention will probably save your life one day.
And 4. I DO NOT play favorites, and I care not whom your father, mother, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, or cousin is or are.
Now I am going to hand out these papers this is not a quiz its it simply a bunch of questions that I want answered honestly. This way I know what you remember and where we can start our coursework. Like I said today will be different. Today and Today only you may ask me any question you like. This gives you a chance to get to know me and vice/versa. If you manage to finish your papers before class is over, you can either hand them in or return them to me tomorrow. Now ANY QUESTIONS?"
As usual Hermione Granger had her hand raised.
"Ms. Granger?"
"Yes Professor Welsh, we were told that you went to Hogwarts. Is this true?"
"Yes and No. I spent part of my 7 years in the States and part here at Hogwarts. Yes Mr. Malfoy."
"What house were you in?"
"Ah I knew that would pop up. I wasn't in any house the sorting hat could not make up its mind."
"That makes no sense." Ron Weasley said aloud.
"Be that may but that's the way it was."
"Do you use a wand?" Neville asked.
"No I do not. I can use a wand but don't need to."
"Do you play Quidditch?" Harry asked.
"Laughing she answered. Yes I can and have played but not on a house team. Ahh our time is up today, remember students to fill out the questionnaire and return them to me tomorrow. If your done then place them on my desk. Have a good day."
Thus ended her 1st day as a teacher.
