"Sit down everyone." Professor Harry said. The Marauders took their seats
along with the rest of the class and waited for Harry to continue. "As you
know, I'm Harry. It's just Harry, no Professor, just plain Harry."
The class nodded. James heard Snape sneering from the back of the classroom somewhere.
"Are you really sixteen?"
"Yes. Mr. Snape, I certainly am." Harry said. "Today, since you have all been here long enough to know each other, we're going to get straight into Defense. We'll be learning how to properly duel." James caught another glimpse of the milky whiteness underneath Harry's cloak and shuddered. "Does everyone know the main rules of a duel?" Harry asked the class.
There were a few nods, James among them, but not many.
"OK. Can I have two volunteers to show the rest of the class."
James and the rest of the Marauders put their hands up.
"OK. Mr. Snape and Mr. Potter. Would you please come to the front?" Harry asked. James groaned, why Snape?
He got up the front never the less and waited for Snape to skulk up there with him. The two faced each other. "OK, now bow." Harry commanded. The two did so, barely tilting their heads. "Not much respect for each other I see." Harry commented dryly, causing both James and Snape's scowl to deepen.
James felt anger burn in his cheeks. It looked as though Snape had something up his sleeve, but he didn't know what.
"Alright, now I just want you to both cast disarming charms, we don't want any accidents. Well, I certainly don't, you'd probably curse me." James noted the way Harry laughed a little nervously around the students.
"Expelliarmus!" James yelled, at the same time Snape yelled, "Furnunculus!"
"Mr. Snape." Harry said sharply as James dodged out of the way of the curse, also dodging Snape's wand, which had also come flying at him. "20 pointes from Slytherin. I hope you realize you're the first person I've had to take points off." He said sternly. Snape glowered at him and James smirked. Maybe Harry wasn't that bad after all. He definitely wasn't Voldemort. "Thank you James, sorry about that. Will the two of you take your seats?"
James and Snape both sat down. Harry continued.
"That was done quite well by James, 10 points to Gryffindor. Would you all please get into pairs, I'd like to assess your talent in this class, oh, and try and pair up with someone that has about your own abilities please."
James paired himself up with Sirius, Remus went with Lily and Peter went with Tamara Bones.
"He's a pretty cool teacher eh?" Sirius said when they had all gotten into pairs and Harry was just about to start talking.
"Yeah, a little weird though." James agreed. He straightened up as Harry walked by them from the back of the room where he had been talking quietly with Snape. Harry had an air of power about him that James had only ever felt around Dumbledore, in fact, Harry's seemed even stronger then Dumbledore, and it made James a little nervous. Harry being so young and all.
"Alright. I'll have you one pair at a time please."
~*~
Harry was enjoying this class, he was quite surprised when his father had dodged Snape's curse so easily, but then again. he did play Quidditch. He had also enjoyed taking points off Snape, oh how wonderful it would be to tease him about it when he got back to his time.
James and Sirius were a really good pair, James only just beat Sirius in their duel though, he's used the element of surprise, otherwise Harry would have been willing to bet that the duel would go on for hours.
Lily and Remus were extremely well paired as well, in fact, they had to call it a tie. Peter and Tamara were quite an odd couple. apparently Tamara (Susan's mum) was dating Peter. rather odd couple indeed.
Harry was shaken out of his thoughts when the bell rang and people started to pack up.
"OK, there'll be no homework tonight." Harry said. "Class dismissed."
Harry was pleased to see the class talking animatedly as they all walked out. atleast he was good at something! He shook his head. He would not think about it!
"Um Profess-Harry." Harry was startled out of his thoughts by a voice. He shook his head again and looked up to find himself face to face with Sirius, Remus and James. Peter must have left with Tamara.
Harry felt his anger well at the thought. Sirius had told him that Peter was the one to kill Susan's mum. He could feel a little power start to regenerate off him and he braced his shoulders and called it all back into his body.
"Yes James?"
"We were wondering, since you're our age and all, if you would like to eat lunch with us. you know, instead of with all the oldies?" James asked.
"Your Potions teacher isn't that old." Harry pointed out.
"Yes, but she's still a teacher." Sirius said exasperatedly.
"And I'm not?" Harry asked, a little amused. Sirius blushed.
"Well. of course you are. but that isn't the point. You seem better than the other teachers." He said hastily.
"Oh really? I thought I was Voldemort?" Harry smirked underneath his hood.
"I wouldn't listen to them." Remus said seriously. Harry smiled, Remus and Sirius were quite like they were in his time. Well, ofcourse they were more subdued and that.
"I'm not, don't worry." Harry said smiling. "But I think it would probably be best for me to stay at the teachers table. What do you plan on doing after school? I want to know what people do around here." Harry lied, he just wanted to know what his FATHER did.
He noticed the three shift nervously. He could hear their thoughts.
Oh dear. He's on to us. Was what Sirius thought.
I think I might be able to trust him enough. Was Remus thought.
Oh yes, sure, we'll just tell you that we are planning to go running in the forrest in our illegal animagus forms. Was James main concern. Harry quickly blocked their thoughts and looked at them sharply.
"You must not go into the forest." He said before he was able to stop himself. "You should know that it's too dangerous, Animagus or no." Harry trailed off, feeling rather sheepish.
"H-how did you know?" Remus asked bewildered.
"I. I uh. That's not important." Harry stuttered, working hard to keep their thoughts out of his head. "But please, promise me you wont go in there?" He pleaded.
The three kids nodded, but Harry could tell they didn't mean it, especially when Sirius rather loud thought came through. Like anything is ganna stop us! Followed by a small chuckle through his thoughts.
"Sirius." Harry said in all seriousness. "You think to loud."
He had a plan. A gobsmacked Sirius walked out, followed by James and Remus.
Harry quickly went back into his office through the door that was connected to the classroom. He got changed into his Auror robes again, just incase. He had heard one last though from James. We'll go to Hogsmeade instead.
So Harry grabbed his cloak and silently went down to dinner. He'd decided against showing anyone what he looked like. yet. He figured it was too soon! And what if one of the Death Eaters from the future had a spy?.
After dinner Harry noticed the glances the Marauders were shooting each other and was pretty sure that they were ready to go.
"Professor." He said to Dumbledore. "Do you mind if I go to Hogsmeade, I just want to have a look around." Harry trailed off looking at Dumbledore.
"Nothings wrong is it?"
"No. I just want to see if I can get any leads on where the DE's are." Harry said D.E. because then the other teachers wouldn't get suspicious.
"Do you need someone to go with you?"
"Do you really think I can't look after myself?" Harry smirked under his hood.
"Of course you can. And you don't need to ask, though I do recommend you tell someone where you are, after all, teachers can do what they want after school." Dumbledore smiled at Harry who quickly snuck out the doors. The Marauders hadn't noticed him.
Deciding that maybe he should change into an innocent, unsuspicious animal, Harry chose a fly. OK. So a fly wasn't exactly attractive, but it would do well enough for what he wanted to do. He had an idea that maybe scaring the Marauders because they were out of bed would be a good enough reason for them to stay in the castle.
Before he left though, he cast a quick spell to make sure he would know whenever Lily was hurt, or in trouble.
Harry changed quickly as he heard the Great Hall door's silently open, and an invisible shape came out of them. Harry couldn't tell who it was, though he already knew, but he could see the transparent water looking air that surrounded the person. being powerful wasn't so bad after all.
It was surprising how fast Harry could fly when he was a fly. He was able to keep up with them, though he got shooed once or twice.
Once in Hogsmeade the Marauders went first to The Three Broomsticks. Harry was rather curious as to why they wouldn't get in trouble with Madame Rosemerta when she came over to take their orders.
"Hello boys. You know your not supposed to be out this late." She smiled at them. "But don't worry, I wont tell. What would you like?"
