Pep and Hermoine met Ron, Harry and Chris in the common room in the morning. "Lets go down, I want to find my schedule." Said Hermoine.
"Okay, that fine with me, I am hungry anyway" Pep put in.
"You sure can eat a lot." Said Harry
"Well thank you, it comes with having an Aunt that cooks."
They started heading down the staircase when Ginny caught up with them. "Do you have you schedules yet?"
"No we are getting them right now." Said Ron
"There is a new class"
"Yeah, wand less magic" Pep said
"How did you know?" asked Hermoine
"Well my cousin is teaching it, Mr. Wyatt"
"My brother" said Chris who was quenching his teeth.
They arrived in the dining hall and sat down. When they were seated a fairly good looking boy came over to their table.
"So, have a good summer Potter?" asked the boy
"What do you want Malfoy?" asked Harry
"I don't understand. Why the hostility? I was just coming by to meet your new friend. I don't want her to think I am rude. Hello Melinda."
"My name is Pep, if you don't mind"
"Well, well does Potter have a little girlfriend?"
"Oh no Malfoy, I wouldn't dream of dating anyone but you"
Malfoy's cheeks got red and then he stalked off.
"Boy, you really got him." Said Ron "Did you see how red he got?"
Mrs. McGonagall walked towards the old wooden table and began handing out their schedules. Turns out that they have quite a few free periods being in sixth year.
"Do we all have the same classes?" asked Harry
"I don't know this year it's different, since we are in sixth year" stated Hermoine. "If you read farther down, next week we have a meeting with McGonagall to see which classes we will be carrying on with, but for right now we have all the same classes."
"We have double potions with Slytherin first thing, and then we have double DADA." Said Ron
They decided to back up to their rooms to get their stuff. They headed down to the dungeon for their worst class. Snape was not in the room when they entered.
"Ahhh there they are……. The chosen one, mud blood, trader, and newbie's." said a voice that Pep had already begun to recognize.
"And there he is….. An idiot" retorted Pep
Just before the fight could occur Professor Snape walked in. Please take a seat. Everyone scrambled to find an unoccupied chair. Pep sat next to Hermoine and Harry. Chris sat next to Ron.
The lesson went on as it usually did, but this year Snape had Pep and Chris to torture also. By the time it was over Pep had managed to lose Gryffindor 50 points and Harry 30. Pep and Chris stayed behind class to see what homework they had to do to catch up.
"I won't make you do any catch-up work, but you will have to keep up with the rest of the class if you would like to stay in sixth year. For your OWL I will let you take it in one week's time." –Snape
"What should we study?" asked Pep who is used to getting all As in class."
"That, Mrs. Halliwell is for you to look up, the bad part of not having catch up work." – Snape
"Ahhh" said an aggravated Pep. "It is sooo unfair, I want to do the work and he won't let me."
The group was sitting at their lunch table, picking at their food. "Don't worry, you can use my notes."- Hermoine
"Yeah, and she is the smartest person in this school." Ron said as if everybody knew it.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Pep hugged Hermoine forcefully. "I think we should be heading to DADA"
"Yeah, I can't wait to see what your Aunt teaches us, I love that class." Harry said
When they entered the class room they realized that they to have this class with the Slytherins, but saving them dueling time, Phoebe was already in the room.
"Good afternoon class. You can call me Professor Halliwell." At that name she twinged a little bit. "Today we are going to learn how to fight, to fight a battle. You will not need your wands this week. Nor do I think that you will ever need your books. To demonstrate what we will be doing today I need a volunteer," at this most of the class raised their hands. "Who has done this before." Now only Pep and Chris's hands were raised.
"Pep and Chris will you please come up here." They slowly got up from their places and stood by their aunt. "Will you please clear the floor?" at this they knew what she wanted, but they we not eager to do so. "Go on" she encouraged.
Pep and Chris did as they were told to do so and moved the furniture to the side of the room using their powers. At this everyone in the room stood still, not wanting to be the one who took the first breath.
Phoebe realized what she had done, and she regretted it. A boy in the back raised his hand. "Yes" she called on him.
"H...how…how did they do that?" he asked.
"Well, that is a very good question... those are powers of a different kind of defense that we will be learning about later on. They are natural powers." Phoebe could tell that her niece and nephew did not like being in the spotlight. "But as I said, we will be learning about them later."
"Moving on… okay what we are going to be doing for the next week or so is brushing up on your battling skills. We will start be learning some moves. By the end of the week, who knows, we maybe even doing duels. I am going to show you how battles are usually held with a dark force."
Pep and Chris knew that the dark force that she was talking about were demons. She had learned how to fight evil from her ex-husband Cole, who was half demon.
"My assistance will be the evil and I will be the good side, if you will." Pep and Chris had had some experience with dueling, since after all they did have to fight demons almost every single day.
Phoebe took off by levitating in the air a couple feet and out stretched her feet trying to kick pep and Chris, she knew that she wouldn't hurt them because they knew her too well to figure out what she was going to do before hand. Pep grabbed her aunt's foot and twisted it in mid-air causing Phoebe to look face down at the floor. She popped up with her hand and began kicking in all directions. Chris ducked at the kick that was coming his way, but did not get down in time and received a huge blow to the stomach.
The thing that got Chris blood pumping was a challenge. He took this as one. As soon as Phoebes kick left his abdomen he stood up and began to go after his aunt. This was actually turning out to be fun he thought.
About a half hour of this had gone by and still nobody was seriously injured. "I think that is enough for today." Phoebe said catching for breath.
"And that is how I hope, that by the end of next week, you will be fighting. Not at that level though, it will take time. Your homework for tonight is to think of different techniques you can use against your opponent. Class is dismissed."
Once again Pep and Chris stayed behind after class. "Hey Aunt Phoebe, what is our make-up homework?" Asked Pep.
"Well since I'm your teacher, I make up your OWL and since I know that you have probably the best defense methods in class I am only having a couple questions on the test. Dumbledore agreed with me, and he said that I don't even have to administrate your OWL. It depends how well you two do in class. For right now I think you are ok, I'll let you know my final decision later. See you guys later."
Pep and Chris walked along the corridor on their way back to their common room. "Hey Pep, I have a question… how do you feel about Ginny?"
Okay, how was that? I have a few things to say.
