Chapter
3
The
first day
Everyone chattered cheerfully inside the class room as
they waited for their Professor to arrive. The Gryffindors had begun their year
in Charms. Flitwick had been as jovial as ever, his tiny high pitched voice
almost singing as he had welcomed back his students for their 6th
year at Hogwarts.
They were now in Defence against the Dark Arts class
room. Harry was excited to watch how Tonks’s first day would go. Hopefully, she
wouldn’t cause too much havoc.
A door in front of the room, behind the teacher’s desk
suddenly opened, causing every one of the Gryffindors to scuttle around the
room as they chose their seats. Seamus had seemingly sat besides Ron on purpose
so he could properly annoy the taller youth, which left Harry to sit with Dean,
since Hermione - always the charitable one - sat besides Neville.
Professor Tonks, then slowly walked out of her office,
passing her desk and stopping in front of it as she took a deep breath, smiling
brightly at everyone. She wore the same outfit as before, only she hadn’t a
cloak on her shoulders, which was probably more convenient in a battle.
Seamus’s eyes seemed to bulge slightly at the sight of her, which caused Harry
to grin and Hermione, he noticed, to scowl.
“Hullo, everyone!”
Tonks nearly squealed happily. “As Dumbledore all told you last night, I’ll be
your new DADA teacher this year. I’d prefer if you all called me Tonks, but
since it’s a school rule-” the now, blue, shoulder length, straight haired
young woman glared briefly, “- well you obviously have to call me Professor.”
A few chuckled, as for Harry,
he just smiled pleasantly at her.
“I’ve just left Hogwarts about 7 years ago, so I know
it must feel a little strange for you all to be taught by someone who’s barely
older than you are, but I promise you, it won’t be that bad!” she walked to the
left of her desk, only to accidentally tug at the pile parchments that lay on
it, causing them to flutter to the floor.
Frowning down miserably as all the pieces of paper
that were now scattered messily on the ground, she whispered a very much audible
“Booger!” and began picking them up. Seamus, surprisingly, stood up to help
her gather the parchments.
“Oh! Thanks!” she said, eyeing him strangely, before
letting him do the job alone and standing up to face the class again. Seamus
pouted at her behind her back and glared at Ron who was silently chuckling at
him.
“Well… where should I begin with?” she put a finger up
to her chin, in thought. “I don’t want you taking me lightly because I’m
young,” she warned, narrowing her eyes menacingly at them “… if you dare
disrupt my classes unnecessarily, I might just not have a choice but to hex
you…” there was a maniacal gleam in her eyes for a brief moment as she smirked
evilly at her students, causing everyone’s eyes to widen fearfully.
“Um… that was a joke…” she muttered, smiling
sheepishly, yet everyone’s reaction stayed the same frightened way. Harry shook
his head in disbelief.
Tonks blinked nervously. “Uh… right… any questions?”
Pavarti Patil’s hand shot up in the hair instantly.
“Yes?” the Professor pointed at her.
“Is that a spell you did, for you hair, I mean…?” Pavarti asked hesitatingly.
“Oh… well… no yoo you all know what a Metamorphmagus,
is?” she looked back and forth at the class, smiling at Hermione’s lifted arm.
“Yes, Hermione?”
Hermione smiled brightly at her. Seamus then sat back at his seat ignoring
everyone’s amused stares.
“A Metamorphmagus is a person, whom, from birth, is
capable of changing their appearances at will.” Hermione explained.
“Exactly… that’s why you’ll notice that I change my
hair color very often…” everyone gaped at her in amazement. “Since, I’m one
myself, it sort of gave me an idea for our first subject to study;
Shapeshifting. Now, we won’t learn how to do so ourselves,
of course, because this is a subject is a matter of Transfigurations, but we’ll
study how to defend ourselves against such creatures.”
“Like, Boggarts?” a Gryffindor in the back of the
class asked.
“Yes, but since you’ve already learned about those
with Remus, we’ll learn about more dangerous ones.” There was that
maniacal gleam again as she spoke of dangers. She took out her wand out. Everyone
reflexively took there books out but then Tonks began shaking her head in
dismissal.
“Oh, no, we won’t need those in the Dark Forest!” she
said enthusiastically. The 6th years then all took a sudden appalled
look.
“Merlin, stop looking so worried… you have me!” she
rushed towards the back of the class room, banging her feet on the foot of the
last desk she passed, swearing loudly this time as she pulled her leg to her
chest, bouncing around, her face grimacing in pain.
The Gryffindors’ eyes widened in horror; being with
the young woman as their only source of protection was exactly what
everyone feared by the looks in their eyes.
************
Harry rushed inside the Great Hall, a large grin plastered
on his lips. Their first DADA class had been an eventful one indeed. They had
gone into the Dark
Forest,
even though quite a few people in their class had been reluctant to do so after
witnessing their teacher’s clumsiness, but they had soon discovered that such
gaucheness became totally inexistent in their teacher’s traits once she was on
the battle field.
The creature they had encountered scattered through
out the tall crooked trees, were called “Thrinxes”. They were shape-shifters,
as Tonks had told them to expect, but had only the ability to transform into
plants. The creatures transformed into various types of small flowers or
foliages and waited to strike while you were not looking. As defence against
it, a simple fire jinx did the trick, since the beasts were very vulnerable to
such things.
The adventure had been quite refreshing and Harry had
enjoyed duelling with the creatures very much. No one had suffered any
injuries, unless you counted Neville’s usual fainting. It was to be understood
this time though.
The only way you could recognize the Thrinxes in plant form was by the strange, pink dots
found on its leaves… and when you did cast the jinx to make it reveal itself,
or to be attacked by one when your back was turned… well let’s just say… it was
quite a shock…
To have a plant no higher than your knee turned into a
six feet tall creature that resembled to crossing between a were-wolf, a
gorilla and a bat… not only Neville could have fainted…
The beast had shaggy, dark brown fur all over its
body, scythe like claws on every one of its fingers and its fangs were much the
same, but it stood in a very much gorilla like way and had very ape-like feet
as well. Its eyes were of a piercing yellow color and it had a wolf-like
muzzle. Bat like ears flopped on each
side of it’s eat and it emitted a very high-pitched screeching yell… all in
all… it wasn’t a very pretty sight even though it was easy to vanquish.
Harry flopped down his seat at the Gryffindor Table,
sighing pleasantly.
“Just had a class with Tonks, have you?” Ginny asked
him knowingly. Ron blinked at her.
“How’d you guess?”
“Everyone in my class had that face when they got out
of theirs this morning!” Ginny chirped happily, although her eyes seemed much
less happy and her mood seemed to have decreased a lot for a person whom had
had a class as great as theirs with Tonks had been.
“So… why the gloomy expression
then?” Ron asked her, before Harry could.
“Just had potions…” she said, sighing miserably. Harry
glared at nothing in particular. That explained everything. An hour with
Snape was enough to steal away all your joy, replacing every of your emotions
with a depressing feeling of misery and helplessness.
“I have that new bloke, Zachary in my classes,” she
said.
“So… what about him?”
Harry wondered. The red haired girl looked around nervously, as if assuring
herself that the aforementioned person was no where in sight.
“Harry, he treated Zachary with even more loathing
than he does to you, “ she whispered.
The raven haired boy blinked, bewildered, then looked
towards Ron and Hermione who shared the same expression as his.
“Well that’s… er… interesting…” Hermione stuttered
seemingly in loss for words.
“Interesting?” Ron hissed, appalled. “Interesting?
The bastard could kill Harry with as much as a side-ways glance,
Hermione, imagine how screwed that Zachary bloke is!”
Harry had been drawn to know more about this new
student from the moment he laid eyes upon him, even more so when he had noticed
how curiously a loner he was, but now… well… let’s just say he knew exactly how
the guy must feel…
“We should probably hurry up and finish eating, guys…
we have Potions next…” Hermione said.
Harry’s stomach then squirmed awfully as a nasty
feeling sunk in, leaving an almost nauseating sensation in his insides. Never
the less, he picked up his fork and began eating his food, sulking dejectedly.
Someone then sat in the empty seat besides him. Harry
looked up curiously, only to find that it was Zachary Ramsden, alone… again…
Ginny suddenly got up to sit on his other side. “Hey… Ramsden, is it?” she said politely. He looked up at her in
the same, uninterested way he had looked up at Harry the night before.
“Zack,” he instantly snapped, much too roughly for
Harry’s liking. Ginny just blinked, smiling, obviously wanting to ignore the
other boy’s rudeness.
“I hope Snape wasn’t too harsh with you after you
stayed behind?”
“He was fine… nothing I couldn’t handle…” he muttered
back without even looking up at Ginny this time.
The red haired girl seemed to be losing faith in her
abilities as well, as she looked at the trio helplessly. They could only shrug
back in response.
“Er- so your family were the ones teaching you magic
at home, before you came he-”
The shoulder length haired boy looked up aggressively,
glaring viciously at the Weasley girl. “Look, if you’re here to ask me about my
family, just sod off,” he snapped harshly at Ginny before looking down
at his food again, which he began picking in a bored manner.
Ginny looked slightly hurt before she stood up and
strode back to her previous seat. Ron stood up angrily. “Hey, mate, now you
don’t just start being rude to people when they’re trying to be ni-”
Zack stood up from the table abruptly, glancing at Ginny
briefly… almost… apologetically… before walking out of the Great Hall, leaving
a fuming Ron Weasley to grumble to himself. H cou could only frown at the boy’s
retreating back, confused.
“Come on, Ron… let’s go to the Dungeons… we don’t want
to be late for Potions, do we?” Hermione said, trying to calm the red-head
down, but she looked just as upset with the Ramsden boy’s frosty attitude.
Ron nodded and the three friends set off to the
Dungeons, but not before they had picked their textbooks from the Common Room.
They were few of the first to arrive in Potions
classroom and fortunately for them, Snape was not present, and so they picked
their seats. They had decided to sit in front of the class since Snape would
certainly replace them in the first row anyways, if not to partner them with a
student they most hated.
Several other students arrived none too long after and
soon the entire class had arrived.
Snape cocked his head to the side slightly. “Pity…” he
hissed, walking back to the front of the class, giving
the emerald eyed boy a last mocking smirk over his shoulder. “Sit,
Potter!” he commanded, seeing the student still standing up tense with anger as
he faced his class once more.
The raven haired Gryffindor complied reluctantly,
sending him glares of pure disgust. The Potions Master ignored them coolly.
“As you brats certainly know, this year we shall be
preparing for your upcoming N.E.W.T.S. which will only take place in seventh
year. As such, any insubordination from your part will not be tolerated…
although, I cannot begin to comprehend why some of you were foolish enough to
continue this class considering your serious lack of intellect…” he sneered
disdainfully sneers at each one of the Gryffindor, his eyes lingering longer on
the Boy Who Lived, who had now lowered his head to avoid Snape’s hateful eyes.
Harry feared of losing his cool completely and giving
into his urge of punching the man silly if he did not escape his scrutiny.
Luckily, the rest of the class went on silently as
everyone conducted their assigned potion of the day, aside from Seamus’s daily
explosions (how did that bloke even manage to produce explosions without
even having a wand?) and Snape’s usual degrading reproaches shot at
Gryffindors- Neville and him even more so, of course.
Minus 20 points for Gryffindors- which was really bad
because they’d only gotten 10 points since the beginning of that morning- and
one detention for Seamus, later, the torture finally ended and class was
dismissed.
Harry and his two best-friends walked out of the
Dungeons just as a group of Slytherins passed them. Harry’s fists clenched
tightly once more as Malfoy barked at Harry, imitating a dog. If Professor
Flitwick hadn’t been walking near them, Harry would have gladly rammed one of
his clenched fists into the cocky blond’s stomach.
“I bet you that twit wouldn’t be so smug if his father
were still in Azkaban!” Ron grumbled, glaring at the Slytherin’s retreating
back.
“Well I suppose he’ll drop that subject soon
enough, won’t he? Because if he mocks you directly, Harry, people will find out
he knows about Sirius and that would mean he’d have to admit he has something
to do with You-Know-Who-”
“I don’t care.” Harry snapped abruptly, cutting
Hermione rudely.
The bushy haired girl gaped at him for a few second
before looking away awkwardly. The trio walked back towards Gryffindor Tower in an uneasy
silence and it remained on ever as Harry walked up to the boys’ dormitory to
get his Transfigurations text book, their next class being that one.
“Harry…” Ron said just as they were heading back down
to the Common Room.
Harry stopped, glancing over his shoulder, raising an
eyebrow at his friend questioningly.
“If you ever want to talk about… you know… Siri-”
“No.” Harry snapped, turning around coldly and
walking down the stairs to join Hermione.
“Are you alright?” she asked him, frowning at him in a
concerned manner.
“Fine.”
Harry snarled, walking out of the Common Room.
Ron and Hermione shared a worried glance before
followed their raven haired friend.
