( I'm sorry for the lack of action in this, and probably the next chapter or so, but I got to try establish the story first.)

"What!" A flabbergasted Ron practically yelled. Harry had told them what he saw last night.

"For Heavens sake Ron keep it down," Hermione hissed at him, before addressing Harry, "Are you sure it was her?"

"Yes Hermione! I'm sure okay!" Harry replied, annoyed.

"I'm sorry Harry, it's just, it is her first day of school and all, plus, you never actually saw her exit Hagrid's hut." She said as they made their way to their first class of the year: Potions.

"I don't know, it's just, unusual, that's all," Harry said.

They soon found themselves outside the dark and dank dungeon/classroom. Waiting outside they were soon joined by a few other Gryffindors, including Neville, and some Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws, but all too soon they saw Malfoy and a few other Sytherins heading their way.

Cursing under their breath, both Harry and Ron sent glares Malfoy's way, ignoring his smirk. They were distracted though, when Snape approached.

"Enter," He said, walking into the classroom, cloak billowing. He walked straight up to the front and turned around, glaring at the Gryffindors, especially Harry and Neville.

" I'm not sure how some of you managed to make it into my class." He said, looking pointedly at everyone except for the Slytherins, "but if I find that someone isn't up to standard, then you'll be gone faster than the time it takes for Mr. Longbottom to blow up his cauldron." This earned a few laughs from the Slytherins. "Now we'll start with the-" He was interrupted when the door flew open, crashing into the wall.

"Geez it's cold down here isn't it" Melanie muttered as she walked down towards Snape. Seeing him opening his mouth she started explaining herself. "Sorry I'm late sir, but Professor Hagrid wanted to see me." She pulled out a 20-inch piece of parchment and handed it to him, "here's a note"

Taking the parchment, Snape looked at it, not surprised to see only a few words written. "Fine, take a seat miss Saunders." Snape said, rather reluctantly, before looking at the whole class, "Now, as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, we'll be starting with the…"

Harry and co. entered the great hall, where they were told the new subject would be held. They noticed that there were hundreds of students already there, consisting of 6th and 7th years. Slowly Dumbledore made his way up to the podium. Instantly the crowd grew silent/

"Welcome. I suppose you're all wondering what this class will be teaching you," Dumbledore started, " but first a bit of background story." This caused many students to groan. " I'm sure that most of you have heard of what happened in Sunnydale, although the ministry believe that it was a show of Voldemort's power, they are wrong." He paused, ignoring the rants and bellows of the students. "It was a completely different power altogether. It was demons that destroyed that town"

Ron and Hermione gasped, as did many other students. "What is it?" Harry asked, confused.

"What do mean what is it, demons are supposed to be extinct," Ron said, fear evident in his voice.

"But aren't demons just mythical creatures, like werewolves and that."

"No Harry, demons are pure evil, mythical creatures are derived from demons, but unlike demons, they posses a soul." Hermione explained, recalling the text from one of the many books she'd read.

Harry nodded in understanding as Dumbledore continued to speak.

"Sources have confirmed that some demons have allied themselves with Voldemort. With the second war looming, a confrontation with the Voldemort and his followers is almost certain, so this class is designed to help you should you ever come face to face with these monsters. Although many of you are confident now, I must warn you that most spells don't work against demons, that's why i have called in some experts to help." He paused, "Don't rule magic out though, over the years before they were 'extinct' many Sorceress created spells that worked against them. I will tutor you on these spells" This seemed to ease the students.

"But I've talked enough, it's time to introduce who will be teaching you the physical aspect of this class…"
