Chapter 8: Defence

I don't own Harry Potter

The next class was Defence and boy Ron was almost late.

"Hey Hermione, Harry and Ron. How are you guys doing today?" said Lupin.

"Not bad Professor. You?" asked Harry

"Not bad, I am doing very well," said Lupin with a smile.

"So Lupin what are we going to learn today?" asked Hermione

"A spell Ms. Granger, that can get you or someone else out of a room," said Lupin.

"Like Apparating?" asked Hermione

"Sort of except it can teleport non-living things as well as living things," explained Lupin

"Oh how interesting, please go on professor," said Ron interested

"Ok, well this spell can make this book teleport into the book. It is pronounced Teleportus can everyone say that," said Lupin

"Teleportus," said the class.

"Very good now I scattered stuff around the room & now it is your job to put them back where you think it goes," said Lupin

"How much time do we have?" asked Harry

"I think 20 minutes will do," said Lupin. "Ready, set, go!" as they worked on the little test. Neville was trying but couldn't do it but Harry could.

"Professor," called Harry

"Very good Harry, keep practising, you are getting quite good," said Lupin smiling

"This is easy, this is just a simple task," said Hermione doing a good job

"But when they got to Ron, they saw him glowing a bright yellow.

"Ah Ron, I guess you got it right or perhaps even perfect," said Lupin congratulating him as doing an excellent job.

"Yep, and this is the perfect job I'm doing. But I'm not a bragger I'm just a follower & you're the best teacher that this school has," said Ron following the steps correct

"Ron is doing a better job than me. Finally a challenge, I always wanted a challenge from a friend," said Hermione smiling

"Yep & I need to be strong, so that I can be one of the most strongest wizard's in this time," said Ron partly true

"Why Ron? Why do you want to be strong?" asked Hermione.

"We need to be ready for You-know-who, if he attacks," said Ron

"Ahh… Gotcha, yeah we all have to be strong. That is so good, we all have to train better if we want to defeat him," said Harry smiling

"Very good students. 10 point to everyone who did the spell, but 20 points to Ron who had succeeded in performing the spell correct & in a perfect way. Congratulations Ron," said Lupin shaking his hand

"Why thanks Lupin," said Ron blushing

"You've earned it with that strong magic of yours, but you must also be careful of that because you don't want to hurt yourself or someone you care about. You gotta be careful of where you point your wand at. I hope you'll be careful in the near future," said Lupin. "Class dismissed."

"I will professor I will be careful, around my friends," said Ron

"And that one of them is your girlfriend," said Lupin

"How do you know that Hermione and I are dating?" asked Ron blushing

"Duh I was there, now it's time for lunch, I'll see ya tomorrow," said Lupin
