Dark Arts Taught in Hogwarts!

By: Rita Skeeter

Unbeknownst to the general public new headmaster, Tom Riddle, has hired a teacher to teach the students the Dark Arts. But fear not. The students are still required to take the course known as DADA, or Defense Against the Dark Arts.

After we found this information out I sent a letter to Harry Snape-Malfoy and asked him about it and his thoughts about it.

He said the following:

"First off, yes I know about the new Dark Arts class. As a matter of fact I'm currently in the class. I think the headmaster had the right idea by having us learn them. Now I can already hear people gasping and saying, 'oh he's dark.' I'm not, but if that's what they want to think they can.

Anyway back onto the topic. I say it's a good idea because if, and when, we get attacked by someone who's using them normally we would have died. But now that we're going to know them, and how to defend against them, we'll have a better chance to protect others and ourselves."

What he says is true. To be able to handle any situation you must fully understand what it is you will be dealing with.

There was one other major question that I asked Mr. Snape-Malfoy, and that was about his thoughts and feelings about the war now that new details have come to light.

This was his answer:

"Well after I found out about Dumbledore's manipulations I decided that I needed to see what Voldemort really wants to do for the Wizarding world. Now, again, I know that some people are going to read that and say, 'he's dark.' Like I said before they can think what they want to think.

What he wants is to keep Muggleborn children out of Hogwarts and our world. I know that when people read that they're going to say that Muggleborns have a right to learn, but how many muggleborns actually stay in the wizarding world after graduation? One out of every one hundred muggleborn stays here.

I'm sure you're all thinking 'so what's so bad about that? It's caused no problems.' Well both Voldemort and I agree that it hasn't happened <i>lately</i>.

During many times muggleborns didn't hide their magic and it caused witch hunts. The following are just some statistics I found on how many were killed, when they were killed, and where they were when they died.

�@

-17,000 witches and wizards were killed in Scotland from 1563 until 1603.

-70,000 witches and wizards were killed in England after 1573.

-40,000 were executed between 1600 and 1680 in Great Britain.

-30,000 were burned by the inquisition.

-And finally in the states just over thirty were killed during 1692 and 1693.

�@

The last one doesn't seem as bad as the others, but it is more personal because there were local wizards, that may have even attended Hogwarts, that were killed during those trials.

Many of the accused never admitted to being a witch or wizard, but they were still killed because of those accusations. The ways that they met their deaths were disgusting. Most were hung from a tree until their necks broke, or they died of strangulation. But some were tied to a stake and burned alive, some were bound and heavy boulders were piled on top of them until it crushed their chest, some were beheaded, and some were lucky enough to just die in prison.

The worst part is that back in those days purebloods had no problem with venturing out into the muggle world to see what they might have discovered or invented. Many of the Witches and Wizards that were killed, were purebloods.

I'm not saying we should do this to get retribution for any long dead relatives that may have died during those times. I'm saying this because I don't want to risk the chance of it happening again. And since there are barely any muggleborns that stay in this world as it is why risk it? If they aren't going to stay, we should stop the problem before we have a war to fight with muggles because one muggleborn decided to show off their powers.

It's up to you to decide. We know where Voldemort stands, and now everyone knows where I stand. Now all that's left if for you all to decide if you care more about your family and friends then about giving someone else a chance to learn our craft when they could ultimately betray us and get us all killed."

That is all that Mr. Snape-Malfoy has told us, but this reporter has one thing to say: I'm not going to risk anyone I care about because of them. I will willingly sign anything to make sure that the ones that I care about will always be safe and protected.

Folding his paper in half, Harry leaned into Draco and looked up to the head table to watch his mates reaction.

"Nicely done Harry." Draco said grinning at him.

Shrugging his shoulders, Harry said, "It was easy to do when it's going to help me protect my family. Speaking of family how goes it with your other half?" Harry asked looking up at the table where James and Sirius were sitting.

"He got a good sized portion out of Pansy yesterday, but I think she finally learned to keep her hands off of me." Draco said sneering at the girl cowering at the end of the table with her head hanging down.

"Did Madam Pomfrey not heal her?" Harry asked noticing the white bandages wrapped up her neck and arms.

"Nope. Sirius told Pomfrey that while he isn't a creature I am and he's allowed to use the same retributions as a dominant creature getting even with someone trying to steal the submissive." Draco explained grinning. "And since this is more than the second time that she's tried to plaster herself to me..."

"I know what you mean." Harry said piling some scrambled eggs onto a piece of buttered toast. "So how do you think Hermione is going to react when she finally gets down here?"

"She's going to bitch and scream about having the right to be here. But your article is going to draw a lot of support for us because every pureblood, and half-blood family in this world lost at least one family member during the witch trials." Draco said.

"How many did we lose?" Harry asked.

"The Malfoy's lost three family members during them. The Snape's lost one, the Potter's lost one and an unborn baby, so two, and the Black's lost two. So all together our family lost eight family members during those times." Draco said thinking back on the lessons he had been taught on Wizarding families by his father.

"It's really not hard to believe why purebloods don't care for muggles then. I mean they misused their powers and caused thousands of witches and wizards to die. But why are purebloods and other half bloods still mixing with muggles and muggleborns then?"

"Most people have forgotten about the hunts really. Not even purebloods teach that far back into their history...not most anyway." Draco explained. "I mean think back to the time of Merlin. At those times they freely lived and mingled with muggles. Soon after muggles grew jealous of the power that witches and wizards had and tried to find a way to steal it. Merlin and other strong wizards created the barriers between our worlds, and every now and then something threatens our safety."

"True." Harry mumbled around the last bite of his food. "I'm gonna head down to class. Are you coming or are you still eating?" Harry asked Draco.

Quickly downing the rest of his drink, Draco stood up and gathered his books and said, "I'm coming with you. I don't trust some of the muggleborns not to try and attack you."

Glancing around the room, Harry finally caught sight of the glares that some of the muggleborns were throwing his way. Shrugging his shoulders, Harry gave them a little wink and wave then headed out of the great hall.

Chuckling as he moved to his side, Draco asked, "Are you trying to get them to attack you?"

"It would make them look a lot worse if they attacked a pregnant person." Harry said. "Besides we don't need to worry about them attacking me since they aren't brave enough to try and attack me."

"That's true, and it seems like we're going to have a companion." Draco said when a familiar black dog came barreling around the corner towards them.

Sliding to a stop in front of the two, Sirius moved forwards and rubbed his body against Draco's legs like a big cat.

"Stop that." Draco said giving Sirius a little shove.

Starting to walk down the hall, Draco gave a soft grunt when Sirius pushed up against his leg letting his weight lean against him as they walked.

Looking down at Sirius, Draco tried to scowl at him but grinned when Sirius looked up innocently.

"That innocent look doesn't work on me." Draco said walking into the potions classroom behind Harry. Dropping into his seat, Draco glanced around the room making note of how few Gryffindor's had shown up.

"Looks like some of the Gryffindor's aren't going to show up."

"They'll be here. After Weasley was suspended they started showing up on time." Harry said as he flipped his book open to one of the pages listed on the board.

"But would they still show up today after that article?" Draco asked.

"Yeah especially after that article. Like I said, they want to make themselves look good so they might have a chance to stay in this world." Harry said.

Almost as soon as Harry finished his sentence, the Gryffindor's walked into the room as a group. Some of them looked angry, some looked sad, and some, like Hermione, had red, swollen eyes from crying.

"And here I was thinking she'd come running in here screaming at me." Harry said nudging Draco.

"Then she must realize that there is no way that she, or any other muggleborn, will be able to stay here" Draco said rubbing his leg against Sirius' side.

Giving a low growl, Sirius lowered his head onto his front paws and bared his teeth at all of the Gryffindor's that walked by.

After everyone was settled into their seats, Severus flung the door to his office open and stormed into the room.

"Well what are you all waiting for? The numbers on the board aren't there to just look pretty! Open your books and do one of the three potions! Oh and this assignment is an individual assignment. Consider this a test...worth half of your grade." Severus drawled.

"You aren't allowed to give us tests worth more that much without at least a days notice!" Hermione screeched as her mood instantly changed to anger.

"Actually, Miss. Granger, I can. This test is to make sure that you deserve to be in my class. If you do belong then you have nothing to worry about. Now get started because the clock is ticking." Severus replied with a smirk.

After that the Gryffindor's all ran to the supply closet to gather their supplies, while the Slytherins and Harry had already started while Hermione was complaining.

Adding a drop of snake venom to his simmering base, Harry turned and shared a grin with Draco.

"Looks like she's done sobbing about her woes." Harry said loudly so everyone could hear.

While the Slytherins chuckled, and Hermione let out an angry screech...again, Severus said, "While that may be true those discussions can wait until you've finished brewing your potions."

Grinning at his father, Harry shrugged his shoulders then turned back to his potion.

Half an hour later almost all of the snakes, Harry included, had finished their potions and bottled them up. The rest were finishing theirs up and were getting ready to bottle them.

Making his way over to the Slytherin tables, Severus started to check over and collect the potions.

"Well it looks like you all picked one of the two potions you'd be able to complete in the time alloted." Severus said.

"Picked one of the two that can be finished?" Hermione asked.

"If you looked at the bottom of all three pages you would have seen how long it takes for the potion to brew." Severus said rolling his eyes.

"But, but, but you can't do that!" Hermione yelled after glancing at the bottom of the page her book was opened to.

"Did you do the wrong potion Hermione?" Harry asked in a disappointed tone as he shook his head from side to side.

"Shut up Harry!" She hissed slamming her book shut. "I wouldn't be surprised if you pass him just because he's your son."

"Ms. Granger you've just earned yourself a weeks worth of detention with me. And since you're doing the wrong potion you can pack up your things and leave my classroom." Severs snarled at her. "Oh and since you've started this class it will come up as a failed class on your final score."

With eyes filling with tears, Hermione scrambled to gather her books then ran from the classroom.

"Pathetic." Severus muttered while he walked over to the Gryffindor's side of the room. "Lets see how many of you were too inept to read before you started your assignment."

By the time he was finished there were only about four Gryffindor's left in their seats. "Hm looks like you get the displeasure of staying in my class...as long as you did the assignment correctly." Severus said.

Moving back over to his desk, Severus set down the vials he had collected then quickly collected the rest that he couldn't pick up the first time.

"Those of you that are done with the assignment may leave and either go to your next class or where ever you belong."

Gathering up his books, Harry nodded towards his father then made his way out of the room with Draco beside him.

"About that article Harry. Isn't it going to make it look like the Dark Lord hasn't had anything to do with this progress with banishing muggleborns?" Draco asked.

"No I mentioned him in the article, and don't forget that I mentioned that we both thought it. If I didn't mention him at all, then I'd say yeah it would make him seem weak but I mentioned him. Although it would probably be better if they heard from him themselves." Harry said before he looked around in confusion. "Um where's Sirius?"

"He fell asleep in the classroom." Draco said shrugging his shoulders. "What about Tiger? Where's your pet?"

"He won't leave my rooms for some reason. He just curls up on the couch and sleeps. I think he might be marking his territory."

"He's peeing on everything?" Draco asked curling his lip.

"No, he's just rubbing up against everything and he sleeps on one thing for about a week before he goes and sleeps on something else." Harry said.

Nodding, Draco opened his mouth to say something but was stopped by the sound of claws clicking on the floor as they came closer.

Giving an annoyed growl, Sirius roughly bumped against Draco's leg and gave him his puppy dog eyes.

"What? It's your own fault that you fell asleep." Draco said giving him an innocent smile.

Giving another grumble, Sirius moved in front of him and jumped up placing his paws on Draco's shoulders. Sticking out his tongue, Sirius licked Draco on the face then hopped back down to the ground. Giving Draco a smile, which could have been interpreted as him baring his teeth, Sirius turned around and sauntered down the hall.

Sputtering, Draco shuddered and wiped the dog spit off of his face then glared down the hall.

Chuckling, Harry patted Draco on the shoulder and said, "I'll see you later I'm going to head down to Remus' room. I haven't seen him for a few days."

"Alright, well I'm going to kill that mate of mine." Draco said darkly. After thinking for a second Draco added, "On second thought maybe I'll just drag him to our rooms and tire him out."

"Ugh. I'd rather not hear about your sex life with my godfather." Harry said making a face. "See you later at lunch." Harry said rushing off as fast as he could down the hall when he noticed the heated look in Draco's eyes.

Walking up a set of stairs, Harry grasped the railing as hard as he could never letting go until he reached the top of the staircase. Moving down the hall, Harry stopped outside of Remus' personal rooms and gently knocked on the empty frame that usually held the painting of a wolf and its mate.

Smiling when the frame slid open, Harry looked up expecting to see Remus but froze when he saw who was standing there.

"What do ya want?" The half naked male asked brushing his long gray hair away from his face.

Opening and closing his mouth, Harry tried to force words out of his mouth but failed.

"Well? What do you want?" The man asked scowling when Harry didn't respond. "Look I'm busy. If you're not going to say anything then scram." With that he forcefully shut the door in Harry's face.

A few seconds later the doorway opened again and this time Remus was standing there with a blush covering his face and only wearing a robe.

"I'm so sorry about that Harry." Remus said stepping out into the hall. "Are you alright?" He asked.

"That was...that was...are you and him together?" Harry asked looking from the door to Remus.

"We are. He's my mate." Remus said turning towards the door with a smile.

"But that was Fenrir Greyback! He's the one who turned you into a werewolf." Harry protested.

"Yes he did. But he told me that mates will turn the other if the other is human so they have a more likely chance to survive if they run into any trouble. He admits that he went about it the wrong way. But, like many creatures, he started to go crazy, I guess you could call it mate hungry, when he couldn't find me."

"How are you with this?" Harry asked rubbing at his stomach.

"I won't lie I'm not fully comfortable with it yet, but we're working through our problems." Remus said looking back towards the room. "I should get back in there. I'll see you soon Harry."

"Yeah. See you later Remus." Harry said to Remus while he slipped back into his room.

Shaking his head, Harry turned and started to walk down the hall still lost in though.

Hearing a screech of his name, Harry tensed and turned to face the red head making her way down the hall towards him.

Throwing her arms around him, Ginny cried out, "Harry poor Ron got suspended!"

Pushing her away, Harry said, "Yeah I know. That's what you get when you skip classes constantly."

"Why are you acting like this Harry? Is it because I trapped you in that room with me before Dumbledore died? I didn't want to do it but you were avoiding me and I wanted to see you." She said as her bottom lip trembled.

"Ginny take your hands off of me before I get my mate down here to take care of you." Harry threatened while stroking his rebelling stomach.

"But I'm your mate Harry! It should be me with a baby inside me." She said as her eyes seemed to gleam with a wicked, crazy look in them.

"Ginny look. There is no way that I'm ever going to touch you like that. Now just leave me alone and maybe my mate won't kill you." Harry said taking a step backwards while mentally calling for Voldemort.

Chuckling, Ginny reached into her robes and pulled out a long, jagged edged dagger.

"Ginny what are you doing?" Harry asked backing away from her.

"If I cut the baby out of you and put it in me then you'll have to marry me. It will be our child." She said dropping her robe to the ground showing off the small shirt that stopped just below her breasts. "I'll be the perfect mommy and you'll be the best daddy in the world."

Giggling all the while, Ginny looked down at her stomach and placed the tip of the dagger at the top of her abdomen and pushed until it breached the skin. Dragging the dagger down, the skin instantly split and blood pooled out of the wound dripping down to the floor.

Walking towards Harry, Ginny left a trail of blood behind her. "Come on Harry it's going to be a little painful, but then everything will be as it should be."

Pressing himself further against the wall, Harry cringed at the sight of the blood.

"Look Ginny you need to go to the hospital wing before you die from the blood loss. Then you need to get help for whatever mental problems you have. My mate is going to be here soon and if he sees you holding that blade up towards his child, and his mate he's going to kill you without a second thought." Harry said mentally pleading with Voldemort to hurry.

Almost as soon as he finished the call to his mate, Voldemort came flying around the corner in full creature mode.

Grabbing Ginny with his clawed hand, Voldemort gave her a violent shove away from Harry. When she struck the wall, Voldemort rushed over to Harry and pulled him close wrapping his wings around Harry.

Snarling at the dazed girl, Voldemort looked down and nuzzled into Harry's hair.

"Are you alright love?" Voldemort asked looking down into the darkness from his wings.

"I'm alright she didn't get near me." Harry reassured him stroking his fingers across Voldemort's chest. "What are you going to do with her?" He asked.

"I should kill her for approaching you again, but I feel that it might make things worse for us." Voldemort said pulling out his wand and casting a slight healing charm that slowed the flow of blood.

"So what are you going to do then?" Harry asked carefully pulling away from Voldemort's hold.

"I'm going to levitate her up to the hospital wing, along with that dagger she used, and give her over to the nurse. She will probably send the young Weasley to St. Mungo's to be evaluated to see if she is crazy." Voldemort said mumbling out the levitation charm.

"Should I come with you to tell her what happened?" Harry asked biting at his lip.

"Yes. After that I want you to always travel with someone. I don't know who else is going to feel the need to attack you after your article in the paper this morning. Very well done on that by the way."

"Thanks. I was hoping you would like it." Harry said grinning at him.

"I liked it very much. However I think we may need to replace the minister soon. While he will help us with the problem of the muggleborns if he hears one complaint about banishing them he won't do it."

"Who would you choose for the new minister?" Harry asked.

"Either myself, or Lucius. I am leaning more towards myself because Lucius seems to enjoy teaching the students." Voldemort said as they rounded the corner near the Hospital wing.

"So is it time for your alter ego to make a reappearance?"

"Yes. Especially since the elections for the position of minister is in less than a month." Voldemort said stopping outside the hospital wing to concentrate so he could get rid of his creature features.

"Will that give you enough time to win them over?" Harry asked.

"I believe so. I mean now they're going to want to get rid of muggleborns so that's what I'll promise and make sure that it happens." Voldemort said stepping into the hospital wing.

"Oh dear! Headmaster what happened?" Madam Pomfrey asked rushing over to the floating girl behind him.

"She tried to attack Mr. Snape-Malfoy while he was walking through the halls." He said levitating her over to one of the empty beds.

"What was she doing?" Pomfrey asked removing the blade still clutched in Ginny's hand.

"She attacked me. She wanted to cut my baby out of my stomach and put it in hers so it would be 'our' child, as she called it." Harry said clutching his stomach.

"Oh dear. I'm going to have to send her to St. Mungo's for a psychological evaluation." Pomfrey said rushing around gathering salves. "Would you mind sitting down at my desk and writing out what happened while I deal with her and contact St. Mungo's Mr. Snape-Malfoy?"

"Of course. All I want to do is keep my baby safe." Harry said moving over to the desk she indicated.

"Headmaster, I know you already know this but I'd like for you to contact her family before someone from St. Mungo's comes to take her." Pomfrey said casting a strong healing charm.

"I shall go and use the fireplace in your office." Voldemort said moving into her office shutting the door behind him.

Sighing, Madam Pomfrey cast a body binding charm on Ginny then moved over to Harry's side. "All done with that dear?" She asked.

Nodding, Harry leaned back and continued to rub his stomach.

"I may not be a doctor who masters in male pregnancy but I would still like to take a look at you and the baby." She said placing a hand on Harry's shoulder.

"What are you going to do?" Harry asked moving over to the bed she indicated.

"I'm just going to do a scan on the baby and check for any injuries on you." She said patting him on the shoulder.

"Okay." Harry said hopping up onto the bed. Leaning back, Harry placed his arm behind his head and watched as Pomfrey waved her wand over his stomach.

"What's going on here?" Voldemort asked when he came out of the office.

"I'm just doing a scan on Mr. Snape-Malfoy to make sure the baby is alright."

Growling, Voldemort asked, "Do you think I'm incompetent of looking after my own mate and child?" Freezing after he realized what he said, Voldemort shared a look with Harry.

"I thought you might be his mate." Pomfrey said nodding her head. "Well don't worry I'm not going to go and spread the news to all of the papers. Besides you aren't one of his teachers, you're the headmaster you have no say in the grades that a student is given."

Staring at her, Voldemort peeked into her mind to make sure that she was telling the truth before he nodded and moved over to Harry's side.

"Well how's our baby?" Harry asked looking at the puff of smoke that had rose from his stomach with writing.

Scanning over the smoke, Pomfrey nodded her head and said, "Your baby is fine. I can even tell you the sex of your child if you would like."

Looking at Voldemort Harry nodded and said, "We'd like to know."

"Congratulations gentleman. You're having a baby boy." She said smiling at the two of them then banished the information. "I'll leave you two alone."

"Oh Madam. The Weasley Matriarch is going to be flooing over to travel with her daughter." Voldemort said before she could fully close her door.

"Alright. Thank you for informing me." She said opening the door back up. "Just in case she happens to wake up after my body bind wears off." She said at their looks.

Swinging his feet over the edge of the bed, Harry stood up and said, "God I hate how I attract trouble."

"Don't worry nothing will happen to you or our child. I'll make sure of it and your family will make sure of it." Voldemort said dropping a kiss onto Harry's lips.

When his stomach growled, Harry pulled away with a blush and said, "I guess lunch time is here."

Looking at the clock, Voldemort nodded and said, "It is. Now come you need to eat and then you have class with your father. I believe that we should have dinner with Lucius and discuss the possibilities of starting a campaign."

Walking beside Voldemort, Harry nodded and said, "It would be a good idea. Maybe you should send a letter to Skeeter tonight so she could add it to the paper. Let them know that he's going to have some competition."

Nodding,the two walked in silence since there were students running through the halls to get to their next class, or to lunch.

Separating at the doors for the students to enter, Harry watched as his mate walked down to the teachers entrance then turned and made his way into the great hall and over to the Slytherin's table.

"Hey Harry where have you been?" Draco asked.

"In the hospital wing." Harry said placing food onto his plate while Draco stared at him with wide eyes.

"Why what happened?" He asked.

"The littlest Weasley decided that she was going to cut my baby out and put in her stomach to make it 'our' baby." Harry said calmly starting to eat.

"She what! Well where is she?" Draco asked looking like he was ready to find her and curse her.

"She's in the hospital wing waiting for a transfer to St. Mungo's." Harry said.

"Wait. Your mate didn't kill her?"

"No. Right now it would only cause problems, and we have bigger things to worry about. Besides if they find that she's crazy you know that the doctors at St. Mungo's are going to strip her of her magic so she can't escape or hurt others. A fair punishment if you ask me." Harry said.

"The Weasley family isn't looking so good." Draco said with a grin.

"Nope, and remember they're Muggle supporters." Harry said grinning right back at his brother.

"I have some information to share with you and our parents so when we get out of our last class go right to fathers rooms." Harry said.

"You can't tell me here?" Draco asked with something almost like a whine.

"No. It's not something that should be said where certain ears could hear."

Huffing, Draco said, "Fine I suppose I can wait until after class."

"You're going to have to." Harry said going back to his meal ignoring everyone around him except for his brother.
