Chapter 4: First Day of Class
Once again, Professor Plum woke up at around 5:30 and took out her rollers(curlers), brushed her teeth, made her bed, got dressed, did her makeup, grabbed her daily planner with all of her lessons and notes and headed off toward her classroom to drop some stuff off. But when she got thereā¦
Many many a boys were waiting outside her classroom.
"Ehemm. May I ask as to why you are here so early?" questioned Plum.
"Well" answered a boy with brown hair, glasses, and looked to be in his 5th year, " we were all just coming to try and get extra lessons with you because we needed some help on our Defense Against the Dark Arts skills."
"And may I ask who you are?"
"Of course. I am Harry Potter 5th year Gryffindor. Pleased to meet you Professor Plum." Harry shook her hand and almost tried to kiss it but she pulled away.
" Pleasure. Well, I must say that the only way any" she said pointing to the boys, "of you are going to get extra lessons with me is if I say so and I also don't do early morning lessons. Now, if you will excuse me I need to drop these off and head for breakfast, and I expect that you should all do the same." Plum walked through her door and closed it behind her. What she saw in front of her was not the same room she had seen the day before. Now, none of the walls were blank, each one now had pictures of famous wizards or defense books, and all of the 5 windows had curtains which hung in purple and green. Her favorite colors. " Now this looks more like my room. Thank heavens." Said Plum who walked to the front of the classroom and up the stairs into a separate classroom which she did not want as her room for she thought it too small. She dropped off her lessons and notes, quills and ink bottles along with other things for the lesson and headed once again toward the Great Hall for breakfast.
She enjoyed a great amount of food which she was sure she would regret later on in the day but she always had a way of hiding things. (I don't think it's relevant telling you how cause it doesn't really matter) Breakfast ended and Professor Plum headed toward her first class of the year. She stopped right outside of the door and took a big breath and opened the door to see 60 pairs of eyes staring at her. Professor Plum glided up to the front of the room keeping her eyes looking straight ahead. She got up to the front of the room and turned around, very slowly.
"Good morning kids."
"Good morning Professor Plum." The whole room said this with extra umph (ya know lol).
"Ok, well before we start the lesson, I thought I would try something new. Ok. Everyone stand up behind your benches." Then there was sudden commotion and many benches scraping along the wooden floor.
"Ok. Now, as you can see, I am a very fit women and I like everyone to be healthy and in some what of a shape. Now, follow my lead. Bend to the left stretch one two three. Bend to the right, stretch one two three. Now forward, 1 2 3, backward 1 2 3. Mr. Malfoy, may I ask what you are doing? That is not what we are doing and I command you to do as I am." Professor Plum starred at him and then went back to what she was doing. The rest of the class however were all looking at Draco. He was fumbling with something, something that looked very squishy, but no one could tell what so they went back to the annoying stretching. After stretching for about 10 minutes she decided to start the lesson.
"Well I must say. Most of you did better then I expected but there is still room for improvement, but right now please take your seats and turn to page 1 in your How To Deal With Dark Magic books. Then read chapter one and then we can get started." The class took out their books and started reading, even though you could tell that no one wanted too. It took almost the whole class period for everyone to finish reading because the chapter was 46 pages (mind you they had already lost some class time from stretching). So, she decided she would be nice and let the class start on their homework, which was a 16 inch essay on why it is good to know how to deal with some dark magic, which no body really knew why they were writing it. Plus they were to find a fact on an interesting type of dark magic and say why they found it interesting. After that class was over, Professor Plum headed down to the headmasters office, just for a few moments before her next class started.
"Screaming scrunchies." Plum told the gargoyle statue and it opened. She walked up the spiral staircase and knocked on the door 4 times.(note: remember this!)
"Come in." Answered Dumbledore who at that moment had just come out from his library with more books to the dark arts, which he had planned to give Plum if he saw her that day.
"Aw, Preul. ( that is her first name, kind weird I know) I just got some books for you but that's not why you are here, so how may I help? No trouble in your first class I presume?" Dumbledore questioned while gazing deeply into Preul's entrancing green eyes.
"Oh, no problem at all. It was quite different I must say though. But any matter, that is not why I came here. That boy, Harry Potter. He is in my first class but I am wondering why. He has great skill and I believe that he should be in a much higher class. Maybe even 7th year." Preul tried to see what Dumbledore was thinking, but had no luck.
"Yes. Many people, including myself, all ask that same question but he may be able to produce a patronus, but he is still a young man and cannot handle every bit of dark magic thrown at him. Plus, I don't want him in a higher level class because of, well no matter. Is that all?"
"Yes, I suppose." Preul said starring dreamily into Dumbledore's eyes who quickly blinked. "Good day Albus." Preul walked through the door and down the spiral staircase back towards her classroom. Dumbledore however stayed transfixed where he was wondering if there could ever manage love again.
Ok, sorry it took me a while to update but I was babysitting a lot and stuff. I'm also not gonna update unless I can get at least 4 reviews per chapter so please review!
