Defense Against the Dark art and more...

The class filed out of the room. Lily stayed behind, Ami, Brian, and Kelly following her example. The other students passed them with excited whispers about what they would learn and what they just saw. Lily rolled her eyes as Drea Malfoy passed the four flipping her long blonde hair into their faces. Ami caught some in her mouth and started coughing.

After all of their fellow students left, Lily approached her aunt.

"Why did you have to do that?" Lily asked Hermione straight out. "Already make me the laughing stock of our class!"

"Calm down, Lily-Belle," Hermione smiled at her. "I would never make you the laughing stock of the school, well not on purpose anyway."

"Sure, yeah, right," Lily said in a sarcastic tone.

"You guys might want to get a move on to your next class. Remus will be disapointed if your late," Hermione said dismissing the four still standing in her class room. She turned to type on her computer that ran on magic.

The four walked out of the class room. "Come on guys," Lily said taking a sharp turn to the right.

"Lily, where are we going? The Defense class is to the left," Brian asked in confusion with her direction mistake.

"You guys can go that way," Lily said waving them off.

The other three turned around and ran for the class room. Running up and down stairways, running into older students, falling through trick stairs. It took them about five minutes to reach the room, just as the bell rang. They walked in, to find Lily sitting at a desk in the front of the room cahtting away with the teacher. She turned and waved at them.

"How did you do that?" Kelly asked in awe. "You went the wrong way."
"No I didnt, I took a short cut," She retorted.

Brian looked at her, "You appartated." She shook her head in reply. "Cheater," Brian mumbled to himself.

"Like I said, I took a short cut," Lily said flipping her red hair out of her face. "Go to the right, down the stairs, and through the fake wall. If you had followed me, you would know that many of the hallways pretend to be walls, or walls pretend to be doors."

"I hate it when you know things I dont," Ami growled. Lily and Brian laughed at her.

Remus walked up the the front of the room, "Alright, class. Settle down and we will get started," he said with his warming smile. "I'll start with that stupid beginning speach like all teachers do with first years." He laughed. "This year you will learn the basics. How to disarm you oponent, simple stunning spells, and so on. I will tea/ch you about certain dark magical creatures, how to disarm them, and how to recognise them." He pointed his wand at the chalk board. "You dont have to copy this down, but know it." Almost everyone took out a piece of parchment and a quill. "The rules of this class room are as follows. I will not tolerate House competition. No showing off, if you do I will have you stand infront of the class to either teach the class, or have you do something only seventh years can do." Lily snickered at this. "Other than that, the Homework is easy, and I expect everyone to suceed in this class. Any Questions?"

Jon Granger stuck his hand up in the air. "Do we need anthing for next class."

Remus smiled at him, "Just your wand. I will tell you if you will ever need your text book the lesson before. That way you wont brake your back before you need to." He looked around for anymore hands in the air before continuing with the lesson plan. "Alright, today we are going to talk about ourselves. Get to know eachother, and things like that. So be ready to tell us your name, and something you like to do in your spare time. Lets start with this side of the room." He walked over to the side Lily and her friends were sitting on.

"I am Remus Lupin, And I like to read."

The order snaked through the room, "I'm Orli Madison, and I like to watch TV."... "I'm Jason Quinn, and I like to play Football (Soccer in USA)." ... "My name is Kelly Wood, and I HATE playing quidditch!" ... "Ami Weasley, and I like to read, also." ... "Lily P-W, and I love messing with peoples minds."... "I'm Brian Dumbledore, and I am a quidditch player." ... "Jon Granger, and I like to listen to music." ... "Kaity Bradshaw, And I am an artist." ... "My name is Kevin Bradshaw, and I like to mess around on the computer." ... "Helen Jansonburg, I like to go camping with my family." ... "Greg Fisher, and I like to play quidditch." ... "Peter Thomas, and I like to hang out with my friends." ... "I'm Daniel Miller, and I like to ride my bike." ... "Hi, My name is Jessica Keller, and I really dont have a favorite thing to do when im bored." ... "Lynda Cing, and I like to run track."... "I'm Susan Jackson, and I like to dance."

As they ended, the bell rang, "Next time think of your favorite color and what you want to be if and when you grow up," Remus said as everyone got up and gathered their stuff to leave.

Next was Lunch...

"Lily, give it up! We are lost!" Ami screamed. "You took a wrong turn! Just apparate us there."

"No, we WILL get there without magic," she said in her stubborn voice. She took another turn, towards sounds of a large group. There they stood in front of the great hall. "Told you I knew where we were. Why did you ever doubt me? We are here before all of the others from our class."

The four walked on into the hall, taking seats in the middle of their assigned table. Plates appeared in front of them, and they started to pile food onto them just as they did that morning. The rest of the Gryffindor first years walked in looking out of breath.

"How did you guys get here so quickly?" Jon asked putting his books down.

"Short cut," Kelly said stuffing a forkfull of mashed potatoes in her mouth. Jon looked at her with discust as he plopped some potatoes on his own plate, covering them with thick turkey gravey.

"So how has your day been?" Brian asked his fellow room mate.

Jon nodded his head while swallowing, "Its ok, a little weird having an Aunt as one of my teachers, but its awesome other than that."

"We know what you mean about the whole family thing," Lily sighed. "Mimi, Remus, and my dad work here, and my mum comes up here with my siblings once in a while. Mostly they come on weekends so we dont disturb class. Its a cournacopia of disturbing concepts." Ami snorted into her pumpkin juice.

"Who's your dad?" Jon asked stupidly.

"The Head," Lily said. She took a bite of the chicken leg floating in mid air in front of her, not noticing what she was doing. "Surly Aunt 'Mione told you."

Jon shook his head. "I havent talked to her since my 10th birthday last year. My dad really doesnt want anything to do with magic and this world. I finally convinced him a few weeks ago to let me come."

"Why is he so reluctant about magic?" Ami asked swallowing a mouthful.

"Jelousy, I think," Jon shrugged. "He is one of the sweetest guys you will ever meet, but just really doesnt want to live with magic. He and Aunt Hermione are best friends, and he loves haning out with Uncle Ron and the girls, but he just doesnt like magic."

"So how did you convice him to let you come?" Kelly asked.

"I told him that it was a great oppurtunity, and that it wasnt my fault he thought his letter was bogus," Jon said smugly. "I know how to manipulate my parents."

"Well have fun trying to manipulate 'Professor Weasley'. Its scary how it ends up being her thats manipulating you. Like in Charms today, she wouldnt let me out of showing the class what I could do," Lily laughed sarcasticly. "It's horrible how much she knows about one person she just met them. Let alone someone she has known for a longer time."

They started talking among the group about their "family." And now that Lily thought about it, they were just like one big family. Lily and Ami were cousins, Brian was basically adopted by the whole Weasley Clan, Jon was their cousin by law, and Kelly would fit in there soon. She now realised that she would enjoy school quite a bit more...
