I hope you all like this chapter, just some random names will be in this chapter they aren't important may be mentioned again. Sorry if it doesn't make sense.

Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own Harry Potter, it's all JK Rowling's work.

The Great Hall was silent, the sorting of the first years had finished and Professor McGonagall (Headmistress McGonagall which ever you want to use) stood up and made spoke, her voice drifted through the hall like a sonorous charm had been used,

"Welcome, I know we have all had a rough few years but now that Voldemort is gone and Hogwarts has been fixed I believe we can all have a good education and enjoy ourselves. A few notices; The Forbidden Forest is forbidden just like the name and no one is to enter, many of you have probably noticed that we have a lot of older students that is because we have allowed students who never finished their seventh year to come and complete it (Harry's year) and they are now eighth years so if any of you need help and can't find or don't want to tell a member of staff please go to the eighth years as they have a lot more experience and will be able help you, the sixth years who never finished have had to return to school to finish their education and they are now the seventh years (Ginny's year). And finally we have a few new members of staff; We have Draco Malfoy as our new potions professor…" There was a slight pause from the old Scottish woman as she most likely thought about Severus Snape her former student and colleague, "Narcissa Malfoy will be taking over transfiguration and finally Harry Potter will be teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts, I expect everyone" She said throwing a glance at Ron who was sitting at the Gryffindor table who just reddened a bit "to treat one another with respect that goes to the staff as well." She finished before gesturing for everyone to eat and sat down.

After dinner when prefects led the first years to their common rooms and the other students started leaving Harry ran over and gave Hermione and Ron a hug and telling them he'd see them the next day. Harry then grabbed Draco by the arm and pulled him off to the side

"How come you didn't tell me you were teaching?" Harry asked the blond

"I didn't tell you because I was hoping you would be a student and I could surprise you when you realised I was teaching you." Draco said with a bit of a pout which caused Harry to chuckle.

Harry went to his quarters and fell asleep the minute his head hit the pillow.

The next day Harry had his breakfast before going to his classroom to set up his first class which was with third years, Minerva had gone over Harry's lesson plans and had been very impressed, the class quickly made their way in.

"Good morning, as you know I'm Harry Potter, today we won't be doing anything practical I would just like to go over what you know for the first half of the lesson and then we will start the lesson, so anyone want to tell me what they have learnt" Harry said

Many hands went up in the Slytherin and Gryffindor mixed class, 30 minutes passed and Harry knew that they had learnt what was expected however they had all mossed out on their second year because the subject was cancelled due to the death eaters taking over, but Harry would make sure they learnt what they had missed.

"Well the topic for the next few lessons will be on werewolves. I will only spend a few lessons on each topic unless I think longer is necessary seen as we have to fit your second year curriculum into this year. But onto werewolves, can anyone tell me how they are different to normal wolves?" Harry picked a boy from Slytherin house

"Werewolves have shorter snouts and their eyes are like humans, they also have tufted tails. I think the biggest difference is that werewolves target humans and are more aggressive than normal wolves" He said

"Excellent Damien, 5 points for Slytherin." Harry said (he prefers to call students by their first names and the students like being called by their first names too.) shocking the class seen as they all thought he would favour Gryffindor seen as it was his house.

"Would anyone like to share their opinions on werewolves? Be honest please." He said before picking someone form his house

"Nathan," Harry said gesturing him to speak

"I think that while they are deadly and dangerous creatures that they shouldn't be shunned and disrespected, it's not their fault they can't help it and like the new werewolf law as long as they take the Wolfsbane potion they are fine and should be given a job and treated like other wizards."

"5 points to Gryffindor, I like your opinion it's exactly what I think." A few more shared their opinions, they had 5 minutes left and Harry was curious so he asked

"Does anyone here personally know or have known a werewolf?" there was only one yes and that was from Nathan.

"I would like an essay on werewolves, use any books that might help, I'd like a fact file in a way, but written out in detail. It's due in next lesson. You are dismissed."
