Chapter 3: Day Two of Lessons
"What happened to Professor Sel?" That's all I heard when I walked into the Great Hall Tuesday…not that I really was surprised I mean she was covered in multi-colored paint splotches.
"So you guys seriously didn't get caught?" Anthony asked…again.
"Nope, James is disappointed that only Sel got hit, he really wanted to get Professor Bell, I don't care though, I had fun!" I replied.
"Ben's waving to you," Hugo pointed out.
"I'll go see what he wants, be right back" I told them walking over to the Ravenclaw table.
"Hey Lily, I was wondering if you were doing anything tonight, maybe we could hang out and study in the library?" Ben said.
"Um, I think that would be fine," I replied.
"What about Saturday?" He asked.
"I have Quidditch Try-Outs but afterwards sure," I told him. "So, I'll see you tonight."
"Bye, meet me in the library at seven," He called after me.
"What did Ben want?" Anthony asked when I returned.
"Not much," I replied taking some toast.
"Does Albus or James know that you two are going out?"
"Not that I know of, why?"
"Just wondering, what do you think their reaction will be when they find out?"
"What is this Interrogate Lily Day or something?" I asked. "And to answer your question I have absolutely no idea and I don't particularly want to think about it."
"We have Defense against the Dark Arts first thing today!"
"We can see if Professor Bell really is as bad as James said," I said
"We also have History of Magic right after lunch and Transfiguration last," Anthony informed us.
"All the new teachers in on day how…fun."

Defense against the Dark Arts
"Hello everyone, I'm Professor Bell, I will be teaching Defense against the Dark Arts this year, and hopefully the next couple as well. I will also be refereeing Quidditch. I was in Gryffindor while I was at Hogwarts. Majority of what I know about Defense was taught to me by Harry Potter himself, because when I was in my 6th year he formed defense club which provided to be extremely useful." She doesn't seem to bad, a little full of herself but not bad, she went to school with dad and was in the DA (A/N she knows everything that happened when Harry was at school) so she couldn't be that bad. "This year I will teaching shield charms as well as other forms of defense and minor jinxes and hexes, any questions?" Professor Bell continued, "Yes, Mr.?"
"Shepard, You said that you went to school with Harry Potter, were you friends or what?"
"We weren't close friends, I was a year older than him to begin with, we were on our house Quidditch team together, so we knew each other but we weren't close."

"Why did you form a defense club?" Ashlee, ewwww I HATE that girl, asked.
"Well we had a very bad Defense against the Dark Arts teacher that year and we wanted to learn because …Voldemort had just came back and even though most of the wizarding world didn't believe it, we knew he was back and that we needed to do something to prepare our selves" Professor Bell replied. (A/N several people – mostly those who were alive during the 1st/2nd wars, are still afraid of saying Voldemort's name)
'Bring'
"Alright you're dismissed have a good day," she called after us.
"I didn't think she was bad," I told them once we were in the hallway, "a little full of herself though."
"I agree," Anthony replied.

Lunch
"Do you have to shove everything into your mouth at once?" I asked Fred.
"Es, ims, cupetey nezary," Fred told me. (Yes, it's completely necessary.)
"Chew with your mouth closed!"
"Lils it's a lost cause…give up, how was Care of Magical Creatures?" Anthony asked. (I just came from Care of Magical Creatures (tame) and they just came from break)
"Fine, no homework," I replied.
TTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLP
"Do you guys think she'll be a bad teacher?" Hugo asked while we were walking to History of Magic.
"I don't know, I mean she's only been out of Hogwarts for a year," I told them.
"I thought they don't want people that young teaching," Anthony said.
"I'm assuming that they noticed how most people aren't tending to do that well with Binns teaching and either no else wanted to or no one else was qualified to teach History of Magic." I told them. "Probably both," I added as an afterthought.
"Took 'em long enough!" Hugo exclaimed as we walked into History of Magic.
Most of the rest of the class already was seated and chatting noisily while they got ink, parchment, and a quill ready for another lecture. Because of this, there were only two open tables; one all the way in the back and one in the front row. I decided on the one in front, because it was the first History of Magic lesson with Professor Sel and I didn't know how the lesson would go, had it been Binns I definitely would've taken the back.
"Come on Lils, the front row," Hugo whined.
"Oh get over it," I snapped sarcastically.
"Yea Hugo, get over it, gosh!" Anthony teased.
"Sure, of course you're going to side with Lily," Hugo replied. In return Anthony hit him and I'm not positive but I could've sworn he was blushing. Why though?
'Bring'
"Where is she?" I heard one of the Hufflepuffs sitting behind me whisper, I think her name's Ally or something like that but I don't know.
"Hello, sorry I'm late," Professor Sel called out, "No need for notes today, we're just going to find out what you know and get to know each other. I'll start. I am Professor Sel; some of you may know me because I was in my 6th year here when you were in your first. I was in Ravenclaw; no one else in here is though, because this is the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff class." She rambled on and on…, "Oh, right, History, so what have you covered so far. You, in the front row, Miss…"
"Potter, Lily"
"Ah, Miss Potter, lucky me, I'm very sorry neither of you brothers continued with the subject. I knew you cousin of course, Dominique we were best friends! Your other cousin…Molly that's her name, she was in my year too…I'm sorry I'm rambling, what have you covered so far?"
TTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLP
"Alright, I'll come up with a quiz to see what you know to take on Friday."
'Bring'
"Wait, don't go I…" she said, but we all just walked out.
"She is insane!" I screamed, "She just goes on and on and on and on. And on…!"
"Tell me about it, she's like a super prep!" Anthony commented.
"I know right, she could totally be Ashlee's new BFF" I replied.
"Defiantly, she's way more like Ashlee than Becca or Megan are," Hugo said.
"Why do we have to have potions two days in a row?" Anthony complained.
"It's only potions," I replied.
"Oh, just because you're Little Miss Perfect," Hugo teased.
"Oh yes I am, How dare your head be higher than mine!" I joked.
"Um…I'm sorry?"
"No, no, no, you did it all wrong!" Anthony shouted mockingly, "you have to say 'I'm so sorry your most highness, I can't believe I could ever do something so stupid. How can I ever repay you, I'll do anything!' then you bow down or something maybe even offer to crawl to class."
"I like that one," I laughed.
"Hugo, she's telling you to start crawling," Anthony teased.
"Why don't you?" Hugo shot back.
"One: I'm shorter than Lily, Two: were basically at potions, and Three: I'm not that much of a loser," He said in a duh sort of voice.
"You two are so weird" I put in.

Transfiguration
"I can't believe you mad us take the front seats for a new teacher again, what if this one is a total nutcase too?" Hugo teased.
"Um…Hugo, this is your mum you're talking about," I informed him.
"Oh, right…but still," Hugo replied. Anthony and I couldn't help but crack up.
"Alright, everyone shut up!" Hermione…I mean Professor Weasley shouted.
"God, Hugo you're mum can yell!" Anthony whispered.
"I'm Professor Weasley, your new transfiguration teacher and the Gryffindors' new head of house."
"Aren't you Harry Potter's best Friend?" that same Hufflepuff (? Ally?) asked.
"Yes I am Miss…" Hermione…I mean Professor Weas…oh what ever I'm never going to remember to call her Professor Weasley so what's the point?
"Smith, Ally." Ha, I was right, "Is it true that you were on the run with him instead of going to your 7th year?"
"Yes, I was, you wouldn't happen to be Zacharias Smith's daughter, would you?"
"Yea, I am," Ally replied.
"Alright enough chitchat, lets start transfiguration. I was thinking of trying something a little advanced; now I know that you don't usually try to materialize anything out of thin air until 6th year, but I would like to start. Obviously this isn't in your books so I made packets for everyone to look off of, I'll give you a few minuets to look over these then I would like you to try something simple like a toothpick."
This was fairly easy, well I've never tried anything harder than a toothpick, but that was really easy. I managed to make a tooth pick appear on my 3rd try (earning 5 points for Gryffindor) now I'm trying to do it nonverbally and Hermione's going around helping people.
"Lily, you've done fairly well with toothpicks, why don't you try something harder instead of just twirling your wand?" Hermione asked and then a toothpick appeared out of thin air and dropped on the top of my pile of toothpicks, "Lily, did you just do that?"
"Yeah, I've been trying to do it nonverbally for like ten minuets," I replied.
"Good job! 15 points to Gryffindor," she exclaimed, "Hugo you're saying the incantation wrong, it's…"
'Bring'
"Oh well, Homework is to practice the spell," Hermione called out.
"Darn, mum's a good teacher," Hugo said.
"That's a bad thing, how?" I questioned.
"Because now he can't make fun of her for being a bad teacher," Anthony replied.
"Of course."
"You wanna help us with that spell tonight?" Hugo asked.
"Um…I was going to go to the library with Ben tonight, I can help you now though."
"Ben, are you serious? What's he your boyfriend?" Tommy shouted.
"Yeah, what's it to you?" I shot back.
"Nothing, I just thought you had better taste than that."
"Ugh, come this way," I said pulling Anthony and Hugo through a secret passage, "He is so annoying!"
"Yep."
"So do you guys want help or not?" I asked as we came out on the 7th floor.
"Yeah, but I don't want to practice in the common room right now," Anthony replied.
"Me either, Fred will make fun of us for being bad at it."
"You guys are idiots, it's called the room of requirement, duh," I replied.
"I love this place!'
TTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLP
"Bye, I'll see you guys later," I called hurrying put of the great hall at 6:50 (I lost track of the time).
"Hey, Lily, wait up," called none other than Ben.
"Hey," I replied.
"So, let's go, I guess," Ben said.
"Yeah, so…are you trying out for your house team?" I asked.
"No, are you kidding me, I stink at Quidditch. Obviously you're trying out though," Ben replied.
"Obviously?"
"Yeah, you said so this morning, plus you're amazing, that 77 second catch in you're first year!"
"Well, yeah…"
TTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLP
"Bye, I'll see you on Saturday," Ben said pecking me on the cheek when we got to the passage that I went through to get to the Gryffindor Common Room.
"And in the halls! Bye," I called
