~Silver's POV~

Harry had walked in and sat down. He was glad to be some where that felt like home again. He looked up and noticed that not only was the seat for the DADA teacher vacant but so was Professor Snape's seat.

"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts. This year we will be introducing two new teachers. One for Defense Against the Dark Arts and one will be standing in for Potions. I repeat Snape will not be here this year." The room went wild as Dumbledore slightly smirked. He knew that this might not be the best thing but it should be interesting. The door to the great hall swung open as the first meal of the new year had started.

"Sorry Dumbledore. That squid missed us a bit more then we thought." I said as I wrung out my long silver hair.

"So Silver I thought the agreement was that if I won I would get to do Defense Against the Dark Arts."

"Well that's okay with me cause I love Potions…speaking of which where is Snape?" I asked as I sat down in his usual chair. Dumbledore smiled at us as we started loading our plates with food.

The meal ended quickly and all the students went to their dorms. I looked up at Kitty and we walked to the doors before the two famous rivals could reach it. Their friends had already left and Kitty and I were not going to let them collide without supervision.

"Well let's see…Silver what do you say to giving these to proper lessons in manners."

"Now, now Kitty you know we don't do that until they really start getting on our nerves. This is just suppose to be their warning."

"Well they had their warning… See you at breakfast tomorrow Sil."

"Night Kit." We went our separate ways to our own rooms and fell asleep.

The next morning I woke up to an invisible bell. Damn, that meant that I only had five minuets to get to my first lesson. I slid my legs off the side of my bed and snapped my fingers. I was put into short black mini-skirt and a tight short blue top. I yawned widely as I stood up and started my way down to the class room.

I walked in two minuets after the second bell had rang and yawned widely. I looked around the room, great, Slytherins and Gryffindor's for my first lesson. This was going to be interesting.

"How can you wake up this early and think coherently? Anyways our first lesson is a burning potion, can any one tell me what it does?" Hermionie's hand shot straight up but was followed hesitantly by Harry's.

"Well Mr. Potter I was told that you were going to be a big problem for me. Fine what does it do?" He was silent for a moment before replying.

"If you apply it to skin it will give you a severe burn depending on how much you use and if it's applied to metal it will burn a hole straight through it."

"Good, five point's to Gryffindor, as we've been speaking you will notice that the ingredients have been placed on you're table's. Open your book's to page 173 and you may begin."

The lesson went off without a hitch except near the end of the period there was a loud sizzling noise from the back of the room. Neville had a look of pure horror on his face and looked to me while bracing himself. I looked at his potion and got a slight smirk (very much like Snape). He looked like he was ready to cry but he didn't and just waited to get snapped at.

"Don't worry about it Mr. Longbottom it's okay see you just added two drops of Orc's blood instead of one. If you just re-add everything before it you can have it done correctly by the end of class." The tension in the room fell apart as I made my way back to the front of the room.

"Miss?" Harry had barely said any ting but I made my way to him anyway.

"What do you need Mr. Potter?"

"Can I speak to you after class?" I nodded and sat at my desk. Soon after, I told everyone to put their potion's in their bottle and bring it to the front desk.

I stepped in between Draco and Harry as Draco 'tripped' and nearly spilt his entire potion on Harry. It didn't make it that far as it was completely emptied on me. Burn's slowly started appearing on my skin but quickly disappeared as I glared at Malfoy.

"The bell has already rang Mr. Malfoy, don't you think it's time to get to lunch?" He didn't say anything but looked flabbergasted that I just stood up for a Gryffindor. He quickly left the room.

"Thanks Professor."

"No problem but don't call me that, call me Silver. So let's get walking to the Great hall and you can talk to me on our way." He grabbed his book bag and started to walk with me.

"I saw what you did, I mean when you used your magic, you didn't have a wand. Do you think you could teach me to do that if Dumbledore said it was okay? Before you answer I was also wondering if you could teach me Occolumy?"

"If Dumbledore is okay with it then I'm fine with it but why do you want me to do it?"

"Well normally I'm really bad at potions but I did okay today. I just think I could learn pretty fast if you were teaching me."

"You ask Dumbledore then we'll talk." We walked into the Great hall and took our seats as the meal began.

Some one tell me how to spell occolumy, I can't find my book.
