Disclosure: Yes I am J.k. and yes that is sarcasm.
A/n: Wow, This is fun. Only …um…. so many more chapters to go. Who needs an exact number anyway?
'Well, tomorrow is going to be a big day so I'd better go to bed.' Harry thought as he made his way down from the teachers' table.
Chapter Forth…umm..YahHarry glanced up from his desk as his students came into the classroom seconds before the class begun. Among the teenagers were his future parents along with their friends. Smiling, Harry stood and took role. He paused whenever he reached a name he recognized. He was slightly surprised when he called the future Alice Longbottom. Although she was slightly younger, there was no mistaking her round, forgetful face and happy smile. What surprised him even more was the fact that she was sitting right next to his mum, both whispering to the other excitedly. There was no mistaking that they were best friends. Why hadn't anyone told him that his and Neville's mums had been friends at school? But he didn't have time to wonder about this. His class was starring at him, waiting for him to start the lesson. Well, the Gryffindors were at least. The Slytherins seemed like they were more excited for the class to end. Not a big surprise there, seeing as the Slytherins could never like the same things the Gryffindors liked. Shaking himself out of his thoughts, Harry addressed his the teens.
"Hello and welcome to your first DADA class of the year. I'm Professor Porter and I will be teaching you lot for the year. For any of you who are curious, I'm only teaching for one year because of…family matters." Harry said, looking at the group of seventh years in front of him. It was then that he noticed that James and Sirius had suddenly disappeared. Trying not to smile, Harry continued with his lesson.
"Since this is your first day back, we will focus on what you have learned in the past. Now I believe that you all take charms, correct?" The class, slightly taken aback at the sudden change of topic, only nodded their heads. "Excellent. Now one thing you must not forget is that you do not only learn how to defend yourselves here, but in other classes as well. Take charms for example. A spell I have found very useful in the past is the accio charm. Would any one like to see me demonstrate it?" Harry glanced around at the class. While most of the students looked at him seemingly bored or confused at what this had to do with defense, he noticed that Remus Lupin looked slightly nervous. Harry smiled at the class and pulled out his wand.
"Accio invisibility cloak" Out of nowhere, a cloak came flying towards Harry, revealing that the two boys had been attempting to sneak behind Harry, most likely planning to put a sticky charm on his chair. They froze, shocked that Harry had known what they intended to do.
"Hello Mr. Potter, Mr. Black. So nice of you to join us." The class broke into laughter. "Now, if you be so kind as to take your seat, we can continue with the lesson."
James and Sirius didn't seem to acknowledge the fact that Harry had said anything since they were to busy staring at him with their mouths opened. Finally Sirius broke the silence.
"How'd you know to do that!" he cried out, causing the class to start laughing again.
"If you go sit down you'll find out." Harry said, once again, fighting the urge to smile.
"Okay then!" James said excitedly. He grabbed Sirius and ran to his seat. Once the two had sat back down and the class had settled down, Harry continued on with the lesson.
"Now, who can tell me what you have done so far?" He asked, looking at the class. A red-head in the front raised her hand. "Yes, Miss. Evans?"
"We have gone over basic hexes and defense spells along with dangerous creatures." Harry raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"You've only covered that much?" Lily blushed slightly.
"Well we've had trouble keeping a professor for longer then a year lately. And each new professor we've had has had a mind set on how and what they wanted to teach, so they hadn't bothered to ask what we've already learned." She said in one breath, reminding him slightly of how Hermione was in school.
"Well, we'll just have to change that, now won't we? Your first assignment will be a report on what you have covered so far and what you know about it. I don't care how long it is, as long as I understand what you all know. I recommend that none of you choose to be lazy and act as if you don't understand any of it, because that would tell me that you need special tutoring, and none of you will like my kind of tutoring." He paused for a moment while the class exchanged nervous or impressed looks, with the exception of the Slytherins who looked rather unimpressed. "Now off with you lot." Harry said, happy that the first class was over.
A/n: well that's it for now. The next chapter is going to be fun. Please R&R!
