Everyone slowly filed out of the dungeon and quickly headed up the stairs. Louise was of course the first one out of the classroom as she had nothing to pack up. It wasn't long before Harry and Ron were at her side congratulating her.

"I can't believe you just did that" Ron said in awe.

"Yeah, I mean I've fought with Snape but I've never refused to do work!" Harry said.

"Well he had it coming…he's a horrible teacher!" Louise said.

"Well the Slytherins didn't find it funny but all the other houses did we'll probably have a party" Ron said.

"Really? I mean it isn't that big of a deal" Louise said.

"You don't know how long we have all hated him for, but no one ever really does anything about it" Harry explained.

Before long Hermione, Olivia and Meaghan were also standing beside them, Olivia and Meaghan were happy but Hermione had a disapproving look on her face.

"I can't believe you did that" Hermione said amazedly.

"Come on, don't make a big deal over it" Louise said.

"You can't act that way in front of teachers, it's disrespectful" Hermione said.

"Even Snape?" Louise asked.

"Especially Snape he is just looking for one little reason to take points from Gryffindor" Hermione said.

"Well that's his fault I mean why become a teacher if you hate kids so much?" Louise asked.

"He doesn't hate the Slytherins" Meaghan pointed out.

"Well that's different that's his house, he has to support them" Louise said.

"Well I don't care, I'm just glad I got to see that at all" Meaghan said happily.

"Yeah, if it wasn't for us all taking NEWT classes for potions we never would have seen that!" Olivia said.

"Yeah, that's another thing, I don't get why all four houses are in classes together this year" Harry said bewilderedly.

"Well its because not enough students were continuing with NEWT's for all of their classes so they just made a few groups of the people that were and it ended up with a few students from each of the four houses in every group" Hermione explained.

Ron had a puzzled look on his face and it took him a while to express his thoughts.

"Did that make sense to anyone else?" Ron asked.

"Well yeah kind of" Harry said and the others agreed.

"Oh, ok then" Ron said and he dropped the subject as they headed for their next class, Defense against the Dark Arts.

They arrived to class before their teacher so they just sat and talked for a while. It wasn't long though before he arrived. Everyone filed into the classroom and took their seats. One of the biggest topics of discussion this year was the D.A.D.A teacher. Professor Marino was still teaching this class, the only teacher in quite a few years to actually survive over one year. He had took everyone in the class a lot over the past year and a half, they had researched a bit more about werewolves, and other animals for the meantime Professor Marino thought it would be a good idea to learn a few more blocking, and defense spells considering the wizarding world was becoming more and more dangerous each day.

"Ok class, today we have a long lesson to get through, first I would like you all to copy out the things I have written up here on the board about the unforgivable curses and once you have we will discuss them a bit more before learning some spells and techniques that may make it possible for you to escape if someone ever tries to use one on you, you may begin now" the professor said, and immediately the whole class took out their books and quills and began copying everything he had written up on the board.

It took a while for everyone to finish writing down everything, there was a lot to learn about these curses, but once everyone had finished Professor Marino asked people from the class to express their views on the different types of dark curses know to the wizarding world, Hermione of course was one of the first to put her hand up whilst bobbing up and down on her seat.

"Ah yes of course, Hermione" The professor said as he acknowledged her eagerness to tell everyone what she thought.

"Well I personally think that whoever invented these curses are complete idiots, why would anyone make a curse that people would one day use against innocent people" Hermione said.

"Well, I agree with your views but you must remember that the people who made this curses were dark wizards and witches, they obviously did not care how many innocent people would be tortured with them just as long as they had the power to inflict fear in our world" He said.

"I know that but, It's like with Muggles and nuclear bombs, first they make them so the can protect their homes, but all they do is make them bigger and stronger so in the end they would wipe out civilization, who would be stupid enough to invent something that could even kill themselves?" Hermione asked.

"I do not know, I guess it is one of the great mysteries of out time" The professor said and then moved on to different members of the class.

After D.A.D.A they had lunch then they didn't have another class till late in the afternoon. Hermione had left Harry and the others once she realized that she had not been spending much time with Draco. Draco was in a different class group to Hermione but she had already memorized his timetable and she knew he was just about to finish one of his classes so she decided to surprise him. She went up to one of the towers and waited patiently for his class to finish. She hid behind a wall, she was going to jump out and surprise him when she heard his voice.

"So what are you doing now?" He asked someone.

"I don't know, I think I'm going to go down to the lake" A girl replied and Hermione recognized the voice at once it was Sacha.

"Well, we don't have another class for a few hours so that sounds like a good idea" Draco said.

Hermione closed her eyes, was he going to do what she thought he was going to do…was he going to go down to the lake with Sacha? Hermione slowly turned around and ran back down the stairs as fast as she could.

"So do you want to come with me?" Sacha asked hopefully.

"I can't, I haven't seen Hermione for a while so I think I'll go and see her" Draco said.

"Oh ok then, have fun" A disappointed Sacha said before speeding up and disappearing down the stairs.
