Author's note:

Hi guys! I had so much fun writing the previous chapter that I decided to write another straight away… But I realized that I might go a little OOC in the story, because I want it to be original and have some elements the reader wouldn't expect. But you will see yourself… Enjoy this super early update and see you again in a few weeks!

CHAPTER 3 - FIRST LESSON

Light was sitting in the DADA classroom and together with the others waited for the legendary auror to arrive. They should have had the subject for 3 hours but the teacher was already 10 minutes late. Everyone was watching the door to his cabinet and waited when it's going to open. But nothing was going on. Light started losing his interest and his thoughts drifted to memories of the previous night.

He was not sleeping much. Most of the night he spent in the attic waiting if the wizard would appear again. But it didn't happen. Light was seriously thinking about reporting the incident, but he was also afraid that he could get a dark spot to his completely blank reports. And he damn needed the reports to stay without stains.

But I should report it… if he was a dark sorcerer, he might be connected to Lawliet's investigation. Yes… I will report it. When the classes are over today, I will report it to the headmaster.

At that moment, the door to the classroom flew open and all the students turned around in shock. At the door stood a dark haired, weirdly looking man in black wizarding coat. His big tired eyes were sparkling in amusement and he smirked when he saw their shocked faces:

"All right… let's move out. We are going to the tournament arena. This damn classroom smells like no one was cleaning it for 1000 years." He told them and stepped away from the door to make space for them.

No one moved. They were all staring, not sure what to do. The man came from outside the classroom, not from the cabinet, as they were expecting, so they were not exactly sure if this is really their teacher. Not to mention that no one expected him to be so young.

After the moment of silence the man stepped in again: "Interesting… I had first years before you and they were much faster in understanding what to do…"

The classroom started getting noisy as some students started getting off their seats and headed to the door where the strange man was standing. They looked scared and still unsure what to do. As the first of them got the door the man rolled his eyes: "Yes, I am L Lawliet, now would you please, move out?"

With that everyone stood up in a hurry and followed their new teacher off the classroom.

Light felt like someone kicked his breath out of his lungs. The moment the man appeared at the door, Light instinctively took his wand, ready for attack. But when he announced himself as L Lawliet a few moments later, Light felt heat coming to his face.

Shit… he thought. I almost attacked him yesterday… He might report me to the headmaster!

With that thought he ran down the stairs and was quickly pacing through Hogwarts properties together with his classmates.

No Light, just calm down. Remember what he said! He doesn't want anybody to know he was there, so he has no reason to do it! Besides… I was acting like a proper student wasn't I?

Kyiomi was finally able to catch up with Light: "That's horrible! He didn't even introduce himself formally! Who does he think he is? Just to walk in and bark orders like that?"

Light agreed with her but he was not ready to say it out loud. Not after he was defending him yesterday on the train. He needed to stay on his side no matter what, to have a chance to win his affection. But was it still an option, after yesterday?

Oh damn it!

"Maybe it's not really him but some pawn of his. Lawliet can't be this young, or can he?"

Kyiomi shrugged: "I don't know! No one ever saw his face. My mother was always trying to get some pictures for the Daily Prophet but she never succeeded. He was always overly secretive with his identity."

Light felt a little relief: "See… it can't really be him then. Why would he reveal his face now? And at the school?"

Kyiomi nodded: "You are probably right Light…"

As they continued walking Light was trying to remember everything he knew about L Lawliet. He knew he started working for Auror's office around 7 years ago but he was helping externally before. So Light assumed he was an older wizard.

But he could also be helping when he was still a student… Shit that makes sense… This man is somewhere in his mid twenties. He was probably helping with cases while he was at school and entered the office when he finished. Shit, shit, shiiiit!

"Kyiomi I was wrong, Its really him." Light said just when they entered the arena.

"How do you know?" she asked but Light had no time to answer. They were already standing, lined in the half-circle of the arena and the only person with the students was this dark haired weirdo. So it had to be Lawliet. The one and only.

The man took off his cloak and stayed only in white shirt and blue jeans. Few students gasped at that. Seeing a teacher in clothes like at Hogwarts was quite shocking. Lawliet noticed and shrugged: "These robes bite like crazy… feel free to take them off if you have something decent underneath."

There was a high squeak and everyone turned to Misa Amane who was already getting off her robe. Her classmates were watching in horror, as she started unbuttoning her shirt, to stay only in white tank top and her Gryffindor skirt.

Lawliet didn't comment on that and took off his shoes.

Students were looking at him and then to Amane, visibly confused from the events.

Lawliet was standing there, slightly slouched, waiting to have their attention. When there was silence again he started speaking: "Sorry about the delay but I had to prepare the arena after the first years. They were making a mess." he announced and a few students laughed.

"I am L Lawliet… I guess I should probably give you my curriculum or something like that but I dont have one so… you'll just have to believe me… let's start the class. I want to see what each and one of you is capable of. So you will come here, introduce yourself and then try to disarm me…. Any questions?"

The students were silent. Lawliet finally took time to take a good look at the group of seventh years. They all looked like someone stuffed a spike to their asses. Standing in a perfect half circle and all in their houses robes. Except for the blonde girl.

L's eyes stopped at the tall young man with auburn hair and amber eyes. He quickly realized it was the one from the previous night and he couldn't help but smirk a little.

A perfectly looking omega. What a boring cliché.

When Lawliet's eyes met Light's, the boy felt shivers down his spine. Lawliet's sight was so piercing that Light stopped breathing for a moment. He was happy that the teacher broke eye contact after a moment, because Light felt heat coming to his face.

What the hell? He was asking himself. He was not used to feeling like that in front of anyone.

"Who wants to go first?" Lawliet asked.

There was death silence again before Light felt a movement on his right side and Kyiomi took a step forward.

Sounds of cheering and cat calls came from their classmates, but Light knew better than that. She was not doing it because she was brave or good at the subject, but because Lawliet was pissing her off.

"Come closer… your name?" he asked.

"Kyiomi Takada, professor…" she hissed his rank at him and he only tilted his head, not showing any emotions.

"Daughter of Akane Takada? Head editor of Daily Prophet?" he asked.

"Yes professor…"

"Hmm... do you happen to have a camera with you?" he asked and brought a thumb to his lips.

Kyiomi was taken off guard by the question: "I.. I don't professor… why?"

He only shrugged: "Your mother is trying to get a picture of my face for years, you might make it easier for her."

Kyiomi inhaled sharply and took out her wand. Without much thinking she sent a spell to disarm her professor. In the moment she voiced the word Expelliarmus, the bright green wave of light came from her wand and approached Lawliet. But before it could strike him, a shield of bright blue light appeared in front of him and the spell hit the shield.

All the students were watching him with open mouths. He was not even holding a wand. He only held his right hand stretched in front of his body and it looked like the shield was coming from the hand itself. But as the shield went down, some of them noticed the wand made of light floating in the air, like he was holding it with his other hand. But that hand was actually in the pocket of his jeans. As the shield was down completely, the wand disappeared.

How the hell did he do that? Light asked himself and all the other students were whispering about it too.

"That was not bad... " Lawliet started: "But you put a little too much strength into the spell. If you would continue like that you would get tired quickly and the opponent would get advantage over you. You have to think a little more before you act."

The students started whispering again but Mikami decided not to let his opinion for himself: "With all the respect, professor, you provoked her. You wanted her to act harshly."

Lawliet looked at him with an amused face: "Did I? And why would I do that?"

Mikami held his head high: "To make her feel uncomfortable and show your opinion on her family."

Lawliet laughed arrogantly: "I don't have much time creating opinions on Wizarding families young man but I admit your theory is easy to believe. Any other opinions?"

There was silence again.

Light bit his lower lip, telling himself not to say anything but he couldn't help it: "You wanted to know if she will be able to keep her mind clear in the moment she is provoked."

"Exactly!" Lawliet announced and looked at Light again.

"But that's not fair. You had to know Kyiomi will not keep her cool!" Mikami opposed and didn't like the new teacher a bit.

"Life's not fair young man. Dark sorcerers are not fair. They are not asking if you are feeling well and you are ready to fight them. They are not asking if you have enough training to stand against them. The very opposite…" Lawliet was slowly approaching Mikami and stared at him: "... they will try to provoke you, make you unsure of yourself and they will use everything they know against you." then he broke eye contact with Mikami and turned to the rest of the class: "The sooner you understand this, the better. So I want you all to take a lesson from every mistake you or your classmates make! You will learn much faster with practice and watching others making mistakes."

Light smirked. He liked that. He liked that a lot. No matter how cocky Lawliet obviously was, this was a good method. And Lawliet seemed to know about magic they couldn't even dream off.

"Lesson one: don't let anyone provoke you and don't act harshly!" Lawliet said and then turned to very red Takada: "The spell itself was well mastered, good job miss Takada."

Kyiomi opened and closed her mouth. She was not expecting words of praise and she turned even more red.

"All right… who is next?"

They continued like that for about two hours and most of the students turned out to be average wizards according to L's expertise. To some of the worst ones, L tried to help with the technique, but soon he found out he doesn't have enough time for that… they will simply have to work on that in their free time.

L took a look at the group again. Takada was not bad. He also liked Mikami. Although his family was mostly a pain in the ass, the boy was able to stay calm and cool all the time. L liked that Mikami refused to tell his name at the beginning, because he didn't want to give L an advantage. That was a bold move. L liked that a lot. Most of his classmates followed his model of course. Copy cats.

In the end, there were only two students left: the blonde bubbly girl and the boy from the night before.

"Laddies first" L said and the blonde hurried forward with giggles and small steps.

"I am Misa Amane, professor Lawliet! I am so happy to meet you!"

The class laughed at that and L tilted his head: "Amane?"

She nodded and looked sad for a moment. Then L realized where he knew the name from. Her parents were murdered a few years ago and he got the murderer to Azkaban. Well… he probably didn't. Because he thought they were another victims of Kira and the dark sorcerer he got was only one of his pawns, but he had no way to prove it. But the girl didn't need to know that.

"I am so grateful that you got the murderer of my parents behind bars professor! I'll be in your debt forever!" She said and bowed to him.

L was a little taken aback by that. It made him feel uncomfortable.: "Ehm… well that's my job…" he mumbled and scratched the back of his neck: "Now show me what you can do, miss Amane."

Misa smiled and took out her wand. In a moment she sent Herbivicus charm and the plants started growing from below Lawliet. He lost his balance and started falling to the ground. At that moment, Misa used Expeliarmus to disarm him.

He should have lost his wand but it didn't happen. His blue light shield appeared in front of him like many times before. Even when he was currently lying on the ground, his legs tangled in vegetation and he was laughing out loud.

Everyone was looking at him in shock. He was just lying there and laughing so much that tears appeared in corners of his eyes, while his wand seemed to be doing magic by itself and was sending small charms to untangle her master from green shranks.

"That was a very original conception miss Amane! I wish some of my colleagues had your imagination!" L told her when he was getting on his feet. But his smile died on his face when he felt his weight on his wounded leg and sharp pain shot through his body.

It was only a second but it was enough for Light to notice.

He was wounded… dad said he was wounded… it's his leg! Light realized as he was watching Lawliet trying to stand straight.

"All right, you all can take an example of miss Amane! She used the spell I wasn't expecting and she was closest to disarming me of all of you! The best use of magic so far. Bravo miss Amane." L told her and Misa was shining with excitement. She made a small jump and went back to the line. Her classmates were watching her in disbelief and even Light was impressed. He always thought the girl was just a stupid blonde, but maybe he was wrong.

"And the last one is…?" Lawliet asked and turned his eyes to Light. Light took a deep breath and stepped out the line. He was still not sure which charm to use. He was not even sure if he should tell him his name. He didn't want to tell him his name. Not after Lawliet refused to introduce himself yesterday.

I could aim on his leg… his shield is guarding mostly his upper body… I could use his disadvantage against him… Light thought.

No! I can't! That would be lame… and I would show him I know about it! I can't afford that! He might figure out I have the information from my father… I can't do that… but how the hell do I disarm him?

Light was thinking for a few seconds and his classmates started whispering. Even Lawliet seemed to be impatient.

Where is his wand? It always appears in front of him, but it's not there really… it's just a projection. It's not in his front pockets so it has to be….

"Come on, young man. I know I said dont act harshly but by this time you would be dead three times if I was your enemy."

Light decided to take a risk. He quickly sent Expelliarmus charm and when it hit Lawliet's shield he quickly ran forward, jumped to the ground, made a somersault and got behind teachers back. Before Lawliet could react, Light sent another Expelliarmus and the wand quickly flew away from Lawliet's back pocket to Light's hand.

Everyone gasped.

Lawliet was still standing there, on hand in front of his body, but his shield was gone.

Light wanted to smirk at his victory, but instead he yelled in pain because the wand gave him an electric shock. Light let go of the wand and caught his hurt hand. The wand should have fallen to the ground but it flew back to her master instead. Lawliet turned to face Light and caught the flying wand to his hand.

Light was shocked about all the things he saw the wand doing and he was also slightly shocked from the pain in his hand. The wand burned him.

How the hell could the wand do that? Is that another line of defensive magic?

Lawliet shoved the wand back to his back pocket and made a few steps closer: "Are you alright? She doesn't like being apart from me."

Light was looking at him, visibly confused: "The wand doesn't like being away from you? Are you telling me that your wand decided to give me an electric shock by herself?"

Lawliet stepped closer and took Light's hand to his: "She's stubborn." he said and examined Light's wound. When they were standing this close Light felt his intoxicating scent again. He could even feel it through his skin where Lawliet was holding him. It was unbelievably strong but soothing at the same time. Light felt his heart beating in his chest and his breathing quickened.

"She?" Light managed to ask, but he was not sure what they were talking about.

Then Lawliet took out his wand and made a healing spell. The wound started closing.

Light couldn't take his eyes off Lawliet. There was something nice about his face when he was focusing on making a spell. His dark eyes were sparkling and his mouth was moving so sensually when voicing the spell, that Light felt a wave of arousal through his body.

But the moment was gone when Lawliet let go of his hand and stepped away.

When Light breathed in fresh air again, it was like he was coming down from high. Suddenly, he felt stupid and he felt heat coming to his face.

What the hell is going on with me?

Then he heard Lawliet speaking.

"Congratulations young man. You managed to disarm me." He said with a smirk on his lips. "Care to share how you did that with your classmates?"

Light took a deep breath and composed himself: "Your wand was a projection… And it wasn't visible in your front pockets so I figured out it might be in your back pocket."

Lawliet tilted his head: "You figured… but you were not sure?"

"I took a risk." Light told him.

"What would you do if it wasn't there?" Lawliet asked.

Light pushed his lips together: "It was."

Lawliet brought a thumb to his lower lip: "Alright… I'll let you have your little victory this time. But you were thinking about your actions a little too long. You wont get this much time in a field. You have to act immediately. Your deduction was good but it should have been much faster."

"Yes, professor Lawliet." Light said and a voice in his head was whispering that he should have aimed for the leg. He would be fast enough if he did. He only hesitated because he decided not to be a bich.

"But well done. You are definitely a winner of today's tourney Mr….?" Lawliet asked for the name again. Light realized that he never introduced himself and quickly answered: "Yagami Light, professor."

Lawliet tilted his head again: "Yagami? Son of Soichiro Yagami? Chief of Department of Law reinforcements?"

Light straightened his spine in pride: "Yes, professor."

Lawliet only smirked: "Well that explains a lot."

WHAT?! Light thought but Lawliet was already talking to the class.

"Alright, that's all for today. I want you all to think about the mistakes you made, and about the mistakes of others. We will see each other in two days and I expect at least half of you to disarm me by that time. Well except for Mr. Yagami, because I am about to learn from my mistake too. The class is over."

With that, he took his coat and started walking away.

"Oh and…" he turned to them again: "...don't even bother to go to the classroom. We will be meeting here as long as the weather will allow it."
