Alright, the votes are in and you will learn the winner in this chapter! Thank you to all voters, you helped me a lot! Just more regular reviews would make me happy though, and they might make me write better. And think... I don't have a plan for this story, it goes as I think of it. Anyway, here's chapter 13!

"Oh come on Harry, you can tell me!" Ginny whined.
"No, now let's get some sleep. One of us has to teach tomorrow." Ginny pouted at him, but Harry just kissed her and walked back to their room holding hands.
Chapter 13 – Teaching and Fighting
The next morning Harry woke early, wanting to get to his class early and make sure he was ready. He saw his schedule on the table and glanced at today's classes. 'Oh boy, first period of the day I have sixth year Gryffindor and Slytherin! This will make the day much better.' Harry thought, grinning at how many points he could take from Malfoy.
"Wh- what time is it?" Ginny yawned from the bed.
"About five. I'll be out in a minute so you can go back to sleep." Harry called over his shoulder, walking into the bathroom. A few minutes later he came back out to find a small plate of food for him. 'That's nice of Dobby.' Harry thought. He picked up the plate and walked to his classroom, hearing snoring from his friends rooms.
Harry reached his classroom and checked who he was teaching and when. He then looked at his planned classes and put the papers in order. Harry then went around the room just making sure he had everything in place.
About two hours later Harry was disturbed from reading the sixth year DADA book by Zach bouncing into the room.
"Hey Harry! I thought you might need some help today, so I decided to come." Zach said in a happy voice.
"Thanks, I think I might need someone. I plan on really showing all the students what they will learn this year, including swordsmanship. I'll need someone to spar with." Harry informed.
"Alright, lemme go get my axe, then I'll be right back." And just as he bounced in, Zach bounced out.
'He sure is in a good mood today, any ideas?' Harry asked Chazor.
'You think Hermione did something to make him happy?' Chazor inquired. Harry thought for a second before answering.
'I don't think so, not the way your thinking. Hermione would probably need to be married before she would do that. Maybe Zach's just in a good mood. Now get your head out of the gutter, I thought you dragons were beyond that.' Harry laughed at the slight embarrassment he felt from Chazor.
'We are,' Chazor defended, 'we just like to tease you about how you were like that for the first year you had us.' Chazor lied. Harry just chuckled before returning to his book. Unfortunately this book was meant to be unread as Zach once again burst into the room.
"Got it! Now how much longer until classes start?" He asked excitedly.
"Just a few minutes. I think the Gryffindors are already coming." Harry said, hearing excited voices approaching the room. Zach moved to stand behind Harry just as, as Harry expected, the Gryffindors entered the room. They were chatting excitedly, ready to see what they would learn with Harry as their professor. Harry spotted Ron and was surprised to see Ron's sword strapped to his belt. 'I guess Albus allowed him to carry it' Harry thought.
The Gryffindors all sat and waited for the class to start. Of course they weren't quite so he couldn't hear the Slytherin's approaching. The first snake to enter the room was Draco, who seemed to not care who was teaching. As the other Slytherin's crept into the room, they all gave Harry a scared glance. As soon as they were all seated, Harry began his lesson.
"Hello everyone, I'm sure you know me, so let's just get right to learning. This year you will be learning almost every basic form of defense I can teach you. Mainly I will be teaching you new spells. Some of these spells Professor Dumbledore may not approve of. But as we are in a war, I think we can bend these rules. Another thing that I will be teaching you is how to fight with a sword. Most families consider these weapons pointless, but as you may have seen at the beginning of the term, a sword can be very useful in battle." At this Harry drew his blade, the black part of the blade gleaming in the soft light coming through the windows. "This is my sword and it has already served me well in one battle. You will all be granted a sword to practice with, but do not abuse this privilege." Harry made sure the Slytherins knew that before continuing.
"Today, I will give you a demonstration of the first things we will learn." And for the next twenty minutes Harry showed the class new spells he had learned over the summer. They 'oohed' and 'ahhed' at some of the effects. Only two people seemed bored during this. Ron, who had learned all of this already, and Malfoy. The spoiled brat was yawning and looking like he was about to fall asleep. Harry was sure he had caught Malfoy mimicking him at least twice. When Harry finished with the spells, he had decided to 'wake the boy up'.
"Now is the time I will show you some swordsmanship. Zach and I will show you the very basics, then show you what you should be able to do by the end of the year. Zach, if you would." Harry waved his hand and all the tables and chairs were gently pushed to the walls. Well, gently for most students. Harry and Zach stood a few feet apart and bowed before drawing their weapons. 'Now remember Zach, go slow. They need to see what were doing' Harry told him.
'Right, let's start then' Zach moved towards Harry at a walk speed. Harry nodded slightly and they slowly approached each other. They swung their weapons weakly, but still fast enough to make the lesson go quick enough. They continued their slow duel before speeding up. To Harry and Zach their speeds were a little slow, but to the students the two were moving with inhuman speed. They watched in awe as their Professors swung and blocked over and over in different patterns. Ron was paying attention now, trying to pick up something he could use to make his fighting better. Unfortunately the class ended before Harry and Zach could get to a normal speed. The students stared in awe once more before exiting the room. Harry just smiled and waved, but was frozen in surprise with what he saw when Ron left. Waiting outside the room was the well known Luna Lovegood. Harry watched Ron walk up and give the pretty girl a hug. They both smiled before walking out of sight hand in hand.
'I'll have to look into that.' Harry thought. He was not expecting Ron to have a girlfriend, much less Luna Lovegood. He quickly recovered when his first year Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students arrived. He continued his teachings a similar way as his first class, just different spells for the levels of students.
Later that night after dinner, Harry was sitting on his bed, lost in thought. 'When did Ron ask Luna out? How long have they been going out? Why didn't Ron tell me?' Harry was suddenly disturbed from his thoughts as Ginny burst into the room.
"Ron and – and Luna" She tried to say, but was out of breath from the shock and running so fast. She calmed down before finishing. "My brother and Luna Lovegood are going out!" She shouted.
"Yes, didn't you see them leaving the Great Hall?" Harry asked, chuckling at Ginny as she sat down next to him, still panting.
"No, I just saw them 'strolling' the grounds." She said.
"By strolling you mean-"
"Sucking each others faces off!" She finished for him. Then she began giggling which confused Harry.
"And then Ortinbras, landed beside me and saw what was going on. She somehow managed to sneak up next to them and then blew flames on them. They both screamed after jumping apart." Ginny was now laughing madly.
"Well, maybe they won't make out in such obvious places next time." Harry said chuckling.
"Like here?" Ginny asked, suddenly asked with a gleam in here eyes. Harry smiled at her.
"Yes, just like here." And with that Ginny jumped at him.
So there's chapter 13. Kinda boring, not much goin on, really short. Next chapter I PROMISE more action. My other story is coming along nicely and might be up in a day or two. It's a pain in the ass to get it started, but so far I think it's pretty good. Anyway, please review! Feed the author! puppy dog eyes
