Chapter 4-Old Classes, New Teachers

The fabulous Mew of Fire wrote "When I"

Disclaimer- I don't own Harry Potter

Everyone was very excited to meet the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, so on the day of the 7th years first class, everyone got there early. They entered the class and sat down. Professer Kura stood up to address the class.

"Hello students. I used to work at Heroxia until Death Eaters attacked it. I knew this post was open so I applied and got the job. I'm Professer Kura. Please take out your books"

She paused before continuing on.

"This year you will be learning how to defend yourself from any dark magic. With the He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named returned and attacking everywhere, you need to learn how to protect yourself from anything that might come your way. Now, who can tell me what the most common defense spells are?"

Hermione's hand shot in the air along with Dira's.

"Yes Dira?"

"Expelliramus"

"Very good. Who can tell me another one?"

Hermione's hand was once again in the air.

"Yes er…"

"Hermione Granger. Another spell is kiyoedious."

"Very good. Can you tell me what it does?"

"It will cause a powerful shield to block you. If it is used in the pure form, which is extremely difficult, it will form in the shape of an owl and will swallow the spell. They spent the rest of the class learning about defense spells.

Two class later, the students found themselves in a similar situation, this time for transfiguration. They found Professor Libram to be a nice person. They also found that he was a very powerful wizard who had been a friend of Dumbledors'.

Advanced Transfiguration was very difficult, they soon found out. They spent the entire class trying to turn a drinking glass into a ring. This was particularly challenging as they had never done transfiguration from such a large object to a small object as well as changing the material of the object.

In the end, only Hermione and Dira had managed to make rings. A few students had managed to change the drinking glass into metal, and Chara had somehow managed to melt her glass into a hard lump of gold colored glass.

"Oh, by the way guys, I talked to Professor McGonnagal and she said it would be alright for us to use an empty classroom to practice" Raelyn informed the group as they headed down to dinner;

"Practice what?" asked Hermione as she came up behind them.

"We're in a band," explained Ava, "Rae sings, and Dira sing with her as well as keyboard. Chara, Kai, and I play guitar and Zane plays the drums"

"We call ourselves Metallic Zenith" Dira added.

"Zenith for short" Raelyn said.

"Oh, cool"

"We're practicing tonight. Wanna come?" Ava asked

"Sure"

That evening, the gang along with Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny went to an empty classroom

"This song is called 'When I'" explained Raelyn before she started to sing.

I always seem to be

The one seen as

That girl

If never seen love

Never thought it real

But I now know that

It's a big deal

(chorus)

When I fall in love

It'll be true

I know that for a fact

When I see you

You make me smile

You make me sing

You make me do everything

I just want you to know

I love you

Oh, oh, oh

I always stood by

And watched your back

Never approached you

And felt off the track

But I can always feel you

Looking right at me

Like we're the only ones

This world matters to

Chorus

When I look in your eyes

I feel safe

When I'm in your arms

I know that I won't break

I know I can always see that smile

Resting brightly on your face

You make me feel

Like I have a place

Chorus

That's right

Just you and me

Its destiny

You make me who I am

Whenever I'm down, oh

I know you'll be there, yeah

Chorus

Yeah, it's true

And no matter if you didn't think its true

Oh, yeah, it's true

I love you

After the song was over, everyone clapped.

"You guys are really good, you should sing for the dance" said Ron.

"I didn't know there was a dance" Raelyn said.

"The 7th years get a few dances every year. Underclassmen can't go unless they get invited" Ginny said with a scowl.

"Oh, don't worry. I'm sure we'll get someone to invite you" Hermione said with a look I Harry's direction, "I'm head girl, so I'm sure I can arrange it. After all, I plan the dance along with the head boy."

I would REALLY appreciate reviews. I have a lot of hits, but not a lot of reviews, so people who arn't reviewing, please tell me what you don't like! It would be much appreciated.

thanks
