A sign up sheet was put up in all the common rooms for all the combat classes. So far there were quite a few names on the lists. When the final day of sign ups was over, Linnet and pack looked over the lists.
"There are about 25 people on the list for Linnet's class" Garron stated.
"There are 32 people for Iain's class" Rowan added.
"And 15 people for Garron's archery" Linnet said.
"Also, there are 10 people on the list for Vera" Dorik said.
"That's good; I don't want that many people. It would be difficult to keep track of what they are doing" Vera commented.
"Has Harry Potter signed up for any classes" Linnet asked.
"Only one, agility with Iain and me" Dorik answered.
"Good, that is an important class for him to take" Rowan said.
The rest nodded in agreement. They continued to talk about the days and times for their classes. A little later on, they starting discussing what kind of creatures Mika and Niall would teach the kids about.
"We are definitely going to do vampires and werewolves. I was also thinking about the Barghest and Trolls for the first few classes." Mika said.
Everyone thought that it was a good lesson plan. Linnet and Rowan excused themselves and left. Their sword class was every Wednesday and Saturday night at 7:00pm.
"Hey, try not to wear them down too much" Niall teased.
The two wolves laughed as they walked towards the designated classroom. When they entered the classroom, they were greeted by the 25 students they were going to teach. The group consisted of 7 Gryffindors, 7 Slytherins, 6 Ravenclaws, and 5 Hufflepuffs.
"I see we have a pretty even class" Linnet said looking around.
"Today we will talk about the principles about sword fighting and will begin basic skills next Wednesday" Rowan explained.
Rowan and Linnet took turns lecturing about stances, backswings, and other such things of that nature. They continued to lecture and answer questions until their hour and a half was over. At 8:30 the students were dismissed to go back to their dormitories. The next morning was uneventful; the owls came with the post while their owners ate breakfast. At 2 o'clock that afternoon, Vera made her way down to the dungeons where her class was being held. The class consisted of 5 Hufflepuffs, 3 Ravenclaws, and 2 Gryffindors.
"Hello everyone" Vera greeted.
"Hello professor" the kids replied.
"I am glad that you select few have taken an interest in this class. Now, I would like you all to move to the front of the room so you can all clearly see what you have to do" she stated.
"Professor, why do we have to have class in the dungeons, it's creepy down here" a girl from Hufflepuff asked.
"The herbs and other ingredients need to remain in a cool environment" Vera replied.
She began to explain that the paste that they were making today. It was a simple concoction that would heal rashes and small scratches.
"The first thing you need to do is finely grate some ginger root. After that you need to add 1 mint leaf followed by 1 jasmine flower and a spoon full of wild bee pollen. You grind all of these ingredients together until sticky. Lastly you add enough boiling water to turn into a paste. Let it cool for a moment and when it is finished it should be a very pale green." Vera explained.
The students copied all the instructions they were giving and made their way to the front desk to get their ingredients. When everyone had finished the assignment, Vera walked around to check them all.
"That is very good for your first time at this. Now, does anyone have a scratch or rash so you can all see how this works" Vera asked.
"I do" a Ravenclaw boy said.
Everyone gathered around his desk to watch. Vera applied the goo and said it would take 5 minutes to work. When the allotted time passed, Vera wiped the goo away to reveal that the scratch was completely healed. Everyone clapped and Vera released them from class to enjoy the rest of their Sunday afternoon. The rest of the afternoon was free of all extra classes so people were either inside studying or goofing around outside by the lake. Vera met up with Niall outside and began to wander around looking for the rest of their pack. Suddenly though, Vera stopped dead in her tracks and stared straight ahead. When Niall asked what was wrong her was greeted by the sight of Vera's normally emerald green eyes being a completely milky white color. A moment after it happened, Vera snapped back to normal and informed Niall of what was going on.
"We must find Linnet, I have had a premonition about an attack on a very populated area by Him" Vera explained.
"Well, what are we waiting for, we must hurry" Niall shouted as he started to run.
Vera soon caught up with Niall and they race around the property looking for Linnet. They found her along with Rowan, Mika and Professor McGonagall. Screeching to a halt on the smooth tile, Vera proceeded to inform them about what happened.
"Are you sure that this will happen" McGonagall asked.
"Of course, my premonitions have never been wrong for as long as I have had them" Vera snapped.
"I must inform the Headmaster of this. Do you know when the attack will take place" McGonagall said.
"In two days at the big shopping center in London. It will occur sometime between 10am and 2pm" Vera explained.
McGonagall nodded and rushed of to the Headmaster's office. Linnet looked at her fellow lycans and silently approved on how well they acted and how priceless they were. When the new was received by Dumbledore he immediately contacted the ministry and some of the members of the Order. After everything was taken care of, Dumbledore made his way out of the office to find Linnet. Ginny Weasly was running down the corridor when she was stopped by Dumbledore.
"Hello, Ms. Weasly. Do you happen to know where I might find Professor Linnet" he asked.
"Um, I think I saw her go outside a few minutes a go. You should try looking by the lake Professor" Ginny thought for a moment.
"Thank Ms. Weasly, you may go now. Enjoy your day" the old man smiled.
Ginny smile back and tore off down the corridor again. Dumbledore laughed and shook his head at the youngest and only girl of the Weasly clan. Ginny was right as rain when she said that Dumbledore could find them by the lake.
"I hate to interrupt, but I would like to thank you for telling me about the vision. How often do the premonitions occur" he said.
"Vera says that they only happen when something really big is about to happen. She only gets premonitions about truly bad things" linnet explained.
"Well thank you again for your help" Dumbledore said before turning to go.
