Chapter Fifteen:

After the conclusion made of them being the new DADA professors, came up the issue of their sleeping courtiers, so currently the three were heading down the hallway on the fifth floor to there rooms.

They arrived outside the picture of an ugly balding man that grunted 'password'.

"Botts" Ginny spoke up.

The three Professors headed into there common room and sat on the chairs.

"Sorry about the slap Harry it's just well, you deserved it"

Harry touched his face and sarcastically said "sure"

Ginny smiled mischievously at this and Draco laughed right out loud.

"I would not laugh to hear ferret as I remember it was you who lost that duel" Harry said smirking at his friend and former enemy.

"Yeah yeah" Draco said, still smiling at the red hand on Harry's face.

"Well then moving on, why the hell Dumbledore sent you two back, I can handle myself and things perfectly fine by myself"

"Why Harry, I hurt did you not want us here" Ginny said showing a fake act of sadness.

"What no of course not I just don't see why Dumbledore still thinks that I need help from others."

"maybe because you do, honestly potter your never gonna change everything's independent with you" Draco said though the sneer that used to accompany this sort of comment was gone replaced by a tone that made you know that he was merely speaking the truth.

"What ever, well we better get to sleep we have to teach tomorrow you know"

"You did not think that we would forget that quickly did you Harry" Ginny said.

"No, anyways good night"

"Night" the other two said and they headed to their designated bedrooms.

The following morning the three professors walked into the great hall, seeking a good breakfast only to find that all the teachers were jumping about the great hall looking as if they had just been drugged with an extremely powerful cheering charm.

The three looked at each other knowingly 'the marauders' they were proving correctly as they saw the four boys sitting at the Gryffindor table high fiving each other on a job well done.

The three of them walked into the hall and passed straight by the four laughing boys, as they passed them all grinned at the marauders they then went up to the staff table sat down and ate their breakfast not even bothering to help the other teachers, for them themselves found it very amusing.

The marauders sat laughing as their defense teacher, the woman who had slapped James and the man that had gotten into a duel with Harry the previous evening, and were very surprised to find them smiling at them like they approved, well they would see just how much they approved this afternoon when they would be the victims of a marauders revenge.

The day passed and it quickly spread through the school just how great the defense classes were, the three new professors seemed to know more about the subject than all there previous professors put together, and as the day past the seventh years could hardly wait to find out what they would be learning.

Sooner than soon that time arrived, and the marauders had a knew plan devised with the title of two words 'ink balls' this one would surely not backfire on them they hoped.

The class settled in, they were all very alert after their previous lesson they would be, but a surprise attack did not come, as they sat down they saw all three of their professors standing at the front of their class clear and visible.

"good afternoon everyone, the people next to me are your other defense teacher for the year, this idiot," he said pointing at Draco, " is Draco Malfray and that beautiful young lady is Ginny Wesley" Harry said with a grin while both Draco and Ginny rolled their eyes, before greeting the class.

"Hi everybody" Ginny said brightly, while Draco just muttered his hello.

"Speak up Draco pal we will need to be able to hear you in this class" Harry said with a smile still on his face.

Draco glared at his friend though he could not keep it up for long he turned back to the class once more "Hello everybody" he said in a sing song voice, to show his sarcastic ness.

"Much better, now today we will be reviewing what you learnt last year" Harry said.

"Does anybody want to share what it is you learnt?" Ginny said with a grin.

Lily and a number of students raised there hands.

"Lily" Harry said, he could not help but call on his mother, it was not favoritism it was just that she was his mother.

"Well last year we learned about red caps, boggarts, and a few hexes and curses, but nothing to exciting are teacher was rather dull and was not that great at teacher." Lily said.

"What the- for crying out loud is that all you have learned, I learned that in my third year of school this won't do at all" Harry ranted.

"Whoa Harry calm down we don't want anything to blow up now do we?" Draco said, remembering the last time Harry blew a fuse, an owl at breakfast blew to smithereens, you could say clearly that nobody finished their breakfasts after that.

Just then in the act of chaos up front, the marauders had blown their ink balls at the professors, and were waiting in the coming seconds for their professors to be splattered with ink, but again that never came, but this time for an entirely different reason.

The ink sped towards the front of the room and hit an invisible barrier, and bounced off hitting the people in the first row, which just happened to be were Lily Evans was sitting.

"POTTER!" she screeched.

"Whoops" Sirius put in as a furious redhead marched right up to James and repeated the action Ginny had just the night before leaving his already red tinged face a burning brilliant red.

Harry had calmed down, and was now smirking amused at his mother yelling at his father, though it hurt a little bit knowing that they were not together yet, but were so happy and then dead in the future, but he knew that they eventually would come round so he would put up with it till then

"I put that shield up for just such an occasion, and am now glad I did, lily I am truly sorry and boys I believe that this merits a detention see me after class" he said with a smile and a twinkle that at the moment could match Dumbledore's.

The four boys nodded dumbly they had been outsmarted again.
