The next day people they trusted went to Hog's Head, including Matt.
"Alright, we all know that Umbridge is an awful Professor. So we need a good teacher, and we know who it could be." Hermione said.
"Yeah, it can be Matt. He is the boy-who-lived." someone said.
After hearing that Harry made a fist in both hands and clenched his teeth.
"No! The best one in Defense Against the Dark Arts is me! You all know that!" he yelled.
Everyone just stared at him surprised.
"CAN MATT MAKE A PATRONUS? DID MATT SAVE THE SORCERERS STONE? DID MATT KILL THE BASILISK? DID MATT USE THE SWORD OF GRYFFINDOR? DID MATT FIGHT OFF OVER A HUNDRED DEMENTORS AT ONCE THIRD YEAR? DID MATT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE TRIWIZARD CUP, FIGHT VOLDEMORT AND FIND OUT YOU HAVE THE SAME CORE? NO! I DON'T CARE IF HE IS THE BOY-WHO-LIVED! I'M THE ONE THAT'S DONE IT ALL!" Harry yelled.
Everyone was silent.
"You can make a patronus?" Dean asked.
"Yeah, I can. Same one as my dad actually. And let me tell ya, it's not easy!"
"Harry calm down." said Ron.
After hearing that everyone, even Matt signed the paper.
A week later he was telling them about the stunning spell and was about to have Hermione aim for him.
"Stupefy!" she said.
But Harry hit it and it went back at her.
As the time went on they were doing pretty good. The day before Christmas vacation Harry and Matt were going to duel each other.
"Ready?" Harry said.
Everyone was curious about who would win. Most of them had a feeling Harry was going to win.
"Ready." Matt said.
"Stupefy!" Matt yelled.
"Rictusempra!" Harry yelled back.
Sure enough Matt was on his back. While they fought people were surprised at how much better at Defense Against the Dark Arts Harry is then anyone.
"Expelliamus!"
After that Harry won.
"That's what you need to fight, strength, practice and focus." he said.
When they were done they split up and went to their common rooms.
