I Don't Need a Tutor

After Dumbledore's death, registration sunk to all time lows at Hogwarts. Many of the younger children had been pulled out, along with majority of the Slytherin house. A handful of seventh and sixth years remained, and Millicent Bulstrode had been shot up to head prefect for her house. The children that were here at Hogwarts either had no where else to go or were there for safe keeping. Millicent fell into the former of the two groups. The skeleton crew of teachers who had little to contribute to the actual fighting remained behind to tend to the children.

Which was why all of the remaining seventh years were crowded into the Great Hall trying to calm children who ranged in age from seventeen to two. Millicent, Neville, and a handful of others were in charge of keeping everyone on task and in line. Traditional classes, replaced by lessons in survival. Practical and protective spells took precedence over Ancient Runes and Care of Magical Creatures.

It wasn't something they would ever be graded on. Both senior students had no problem with that at all.
