Chapter One: A New Class
"Welcome, students and staff, to another year at Hogwarts!" Dumbledore
carefully got up from his chair, with Professor Snape at his arm helping
him to stand. "Thank you, Severus. Before we get started with the feast,
I have a few announcements."
"Like usual," Ron muttered. Harry shrugged and Hermione hit the redhead in
the arm.
"Quiet Ron. Lord, you're always hungry."
"First of all," Dumbledore continued, "I would like to recognize a few
people who have been awarded great honours this summer. Please stand when
I call your name. Ahem...Sirius Black..."
Sirius, who was sitting at the teachers' table, rose slowly and nodded to
the light applause. Having been recently cleared of all accusations, he
had taken the freshly vacant position of Professor for Defense Against the
Dark Arts.
"...Filius Flitwick..."
The tiny professor stood upon his seat, with a bit of help from McGonagall.
"...Hermione Granger..."
A flush settling over her cheeks, Hermione stood to a roar of applause from
the Gryffindor table.
"...Draco Malfoy..."
The arrogant 7th year stood up and tossed his shoulder length blond hair.
Hermione rolled her eyes at the smirk on his face.
"...and Severus Snape."
Already standing, Snape nodded to the room, a somber look upon his face.
He still had a hand under Dumbledore's elbow. Everyone gazed about the
room, looking from one person to the other.
"As you all most likely know, this summer brought about many changes. Lord
Voldemort -" most everyone shuddered "- is no more, and many Death Eaters
have been brought to justice. Those who are standing have received the
Order of Merlin, 1st Class for their bravery and valor. Now, could Harry
Potter, Ronald Weasley, and Ginny Weasley stand. The rest of you may sit
down."
A slight murmur ran through the room as the exchange took place. Harry
felt like a million eyes were burning through him. Dumbledore smiled
warmly.
"These three brave souls have received an award that has never been given
before. They have received the Aeternus Lux Medallion. Without Harry,
Ronald, and Ginny, this war may have waged for a long time still. We all
thank you."
Harry smiled, inwardly wishing that he hadn't been the one, but also
grateful that it was all over. The applause throughout the room was
deafening, but it slowly died down as Dumbledore raised a hand.
"Alright, alright. You may sit once more. One last announcement, and then
we can get to the good part. This year we are offering a new class to be
taught by Professor Lupin. He has given up Defense Against the Dark Arts
to Professor Black, and agreed to teach in a new area. This class will
only be offered to 6th and 7th year students. If you are interested, stay
on after the feast. And now...we eat!"
As the elderly wizard took his seat, the tables became laden with food and
drink. Talking interspersed with eating immediately ensued.
"I hope the new class is intensive studies to prepare us for life after
Hogwarts," Hermione said as she picked up a roll. "I can't wait to find
out what it is. Are you staying, Ron?"
"Yeah, but the moment I hear intensive studies, I'm going to the tower. I
swear, Hermione, your love of studying is frightfully unnatural."
Hermione pursed her lips and crossed her arms. After a moment, she turned
to Harry. "What about you?"
Harry smiled, "I don't see why not. I wish we had some sort of idea of
what it entails, though. But if Lupin's teaching the class, it can't be
something awful, right?"
"Thank you all for staying." Lupin had cleared away all the tables save
one, which was full of 6th and 7th years. Draco, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and
Ginny were all sitting together near the front of the hall. Malfoy was
reaching around Harry's back to punch Ron, and Hermione was slapping his
hand away.
"Pay attention," she hissed at him. Draco rolled his eyes and looked back
to Lupin.
"The new class is Life Drawing for Witches and Wizards. Of course, this
class will have little to do with magic. You will be employing simple
spells, such as Lumos and Leviosa, but other than that, this class is based
on artistic skill. This having been said, if you feel this isn't the class
for you, you may now leave."
Several students stood and made their way to the door. Ron and Ginny both
stood as well.
"What's wrong," Harry asked.
"Horrible artistic skill runs in the Weasley family," Ginny explained.
"I'd fail miserably."
"Yeah," Ron agreed. "I couldn't draw to save my life."
"See you later," Ginny said as she and her brother left the hall. After
everything had settled down again, Lupin resumed his talk.
"Now that we know who is really interested, we need to have a serious
discussion. As you may or may not know, Life Drawing deals with studies of
the nude human form. In layman's terms, we will be drawing naked models."
Several students snickered and Harry noticed Hermione turn an interesting
shade of pink.
"Mr. Williams, Mr. Sheppard, Ms. Low, and Mr. Griffith, thank you for your
interest, but you may leave. This class leaves no room for immaturity
which is exactly why we only offered it to 6th and 7th years."
The four students reluctantly left. Lupin turned his eyes to Hermione.
"Is everything alright, Ms. Granger?"
"Yes. Fine." She put her hands over her cheeks. "I'm okay."
"Good. Well," he surveyed the remaining students. "I suppose that sixteen
is the perfect number for our class. If you will all write your names down
on this paper -" he waved his wand and some parchment sailed over to the
table "- the class will be added to your scheduals. It will be a joy
having you."
AN: I'm not going to explain the ins and outs of Voldemort's defeat,
because that isn't the purpose of this story. Long story short, The Good
Guys win, Malfoy is now a good guy, and lots of people are happy. Blah
blah. I just wanted to set the scene. .
