Into the Past

"The people on the same side of the room as you are your debate teammates. Our first debate will be on Friday the topic will be house elves rights." Hermione got this huge grin on her face while the other Gryffindors moaned and the Slytherins looked confused. "I expect each team to have come up with a name and to research there side thoroughly. Failure to take these debates seriously will result in you failing the lesson and being kicked out of class. The right side," Gesturing to the side with Malfoy and little Harry, "Will argue for House Elves' rights, and the left will argue against."

Chapter 14: Not what you expected.

After Evan dismissed the class, he sat on the desk swinging his legs waiting for Harry, Ron, and Hermione to come up and complain. He had been having difficulty all through class to not break out in hysterical laughter. Who know screwing with the space time continuum would be so much fun and inspire one to laugh in the typical 'I'm doing something I shouldn't and really don't care kind of way.'

As soon as the class room was empty the last three students marched up to him just as he predicted. "Why on earth would you want me to debate AGAINST house-elf rights? Do you know how important they are? None of the people you put on the debate team for are going to do anything about it; they don't care!"

Evan looked at her, "You don't think Harry cares?"

She blinked in astonishment, "I… I mean," she trailed off.

"Malfoy is in his father's pocket, he doesn't think of anything except what his father told him. He will do the research because his father insists that he be the best student. You need to think about ALL sides of an issue BEFORE you take action. How are you going to change the world if you can't argue both sides? You can't beat what you don't know Hermione."

But Hermione wasn't going to give up that easily, "So, you think someone has to know something to be against it? So we should all learn the Dark Arts uh?"

He almost chuckled, "Yes, how can you fight something that you don't know about? How can you create an anti-dote when you don't know what the poison is and what it's made of? Just because you learn about something doesn't mean that you have to use it or that you're going to become evil."

All three of them were surprised at that. "How can you say that?" Hermione asked appalled.

"Wingardium Leviosa (sp?) can be just as deadly as Avada Kedavra if you use it to levitate someone off a cliff. Did you know that it was originally created as a painless way to kill animals for food? Or the Cruciatus Curse was created to be similar to a defibulator? To shock someone's system back to life? Theoretically the Imperious Curse can help someone over come irrational fears if used carefully almost like hypnosis. You can't just look at the negatives of something and write the whole thing off."

In fact, he was going to bring that up in their next class and all of his classes. What did he have next? Oh, Revanclaw and Hufflepuff firsties. "Go to your next class, I'm not going to change my mind about the groups or the assignment." He said shooing them out. He noticed Harry giving him odd looks and knew to expect to talk to him later.

He walked up to the chalk board, now how did that go? Oh, yea. He proceeded to write a paragraph on the board and then made a place to vote, Keep or Get Rid Of.

After the firsties arrived he instructed them to read the board and come up and make their vote.

There is an element in the world that cause mudslides, deterioration of both man made and natural structures, caries diseases, and kills thousands of people every year. Do you believe that this element should be removed from the world?*

Nearly every single said to get rid of it, and Harry believed that the two who voted to keep it were just doing it to be different.

"So, you all believe, save for you two, that we should get rid of this element?" At the classes nod he continued, "Okay, but then we will all die."

"What?"

"Why?"

He smiled and turned to face them, "Because the element that does all of that is water, good old H2O. And as you may or may not know we can not live without water, in fact, over 60 percent of a person's body is water."

"Now can anyone tell me why I would ask this?" They shook their heads no and he proceeded to tell them about the debates and the theoretical papers. He had them write their persuasive essays and assigned them their teams. He did the same thing for his third year Gryffindor/Slytherin class.

Evan had never realized how monotonous a teacher's life really was. He was so glad it was lunch. Evan left his robes in the class room and made his way down to the Great Hall in jeans and a t-shirt. The t-shirt advertising:

If you can't fix it with Duck Tape then you haven't used enough!

He sat down at his seat at the head table ignoring the looks he was receiving. Evan was used to them or at least he was when he was Harry Potter Savior of the Wizarding World yada, yada, ya.

"Intersting shirt." Albus commented eyes twinkling.

"I'm glad you like it headmaster; I'll have to wear another one tomorrow." Evan said smiling.

"It is completely inappropriate attire for a professor at one of the most prestigious schools in the Wizarding world."

"You think? Personally I think it's rather flattering." Snape sent Evan a glare making Evan chuckle. He really had forgotten how fun it was to aggravate people. Of course his favorite three would always be Vernon, Dudley, and certainly Snape.

"Maddening, big headed, brat."

"Awe I love you to Snapey-poo." McGonagall even snorted at that one and Evan sent her a wink.

"You… you…"

"Did I actually make you speechless? Wow, that is the most impressive thing I have ever done!"

"One of us will be dead by the end of the week and it won't be me." Snape glowered.

"Your right perhaps we should meet after class to discuss a treaty?" Evan suggested causally hoping that Snape would realize that he wanted to talk to him in private.

Luckily Snape did pick up on it, "Very well come to my office after classes." And they turned back to their meals to finish eating in silence while the other professors wondered what just happened.

a/n: I know this chapter is short, but I'll update again soon, just getting back into the swing of things after being out of town.

Thanks for all the reviews! I'm glad you like it.

*- One of my teachers did something like that in elementary school and it stuck with me. I don't think I worded it just right, but oh well.
