The End of the Beginning (Draco Malfoy x Fem Reader)

Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Classroom

DEFENSE AGAINST THE DARK ARTS

RR: Sit down Malfoy.

Orion sits in a seat next to Riddle, obviously confused.

RR: What? Why do you look so concerned?

OM: The teacher. He's—

RR: A ghost. Yeah, he is.

OM: Wow.

RR: Don't be so surprised. They're everywhere around here.

"Alright, kids. I'm your professor. Name is on the board. If you can't read it, sorry for ya."

OM: He's funny.

RR: Shut up. He's just like every other teacher.

Orion looks around and sees Figo, Freddie, and Albus. He also sees James who waves at him.

OM: So, Riddle, we're in this class with first year Slytherins but second-year Gryffindors?

RR: Yup. I think so. Maybe other grades too.

A girl in the back of the class raises her hand.

"Yes?"

"Uh, Professor Weasley, why are you so young?"

"Glad you asked. I was killed when I was nineteen. Very traumatic but anyway...any other questions?"

The same girl raises her hand but the professor asks her a question first.

"What's your name?"

"Jallena. Jallena Jordan."

"Well, Jallena, you're a curious one. What's your question?"

JJ: What should we call you? I mean, I know Professor Weasley is written on the board but I already have Care of Magical Creatures with Professor Weasley."

"Then call me Professor Fred. PFW."

JJ: Thank you, sir.

"No problem. Now I want you all to introduce yourselves to the class. Unless...you'd like me to read off names instead?"

There are many disagreeing comments from the class.

"Okay. Stand up and say your name, year, and House. Go."

He points to a girl in the front row.

"Uh, hi. I'm Tasmin Finnigan-Thomas. I'm a second-year Gryffindor."

"I'm James Potter. Second-year Gryffindor."

"Albus Potter, first-year Slytherin."

"Freddie Weasley also first-year Slytherin."

"Same year, same house, Figo Weasley."

"Jallena Jordan, second-year Gryffindor."

"Riddle, first-year Slytherin."

The Professor eyes Riddle, "Any last name mate?"

"Last name is Riddle."

"Alright then, first name?"

"Rudiger."

"Alright, you?"

The Professor points to Orion.

"Orion Malfoy, Slytherin first year."

"I'm Denu Longbottom—Lovegood, first-year Gryffindor."

"That's everyone. No second-year Slytherins and only one first-year Gryffindor. Welcome to Defense Against the Dark Arts. I'm Professor Fred as I said before and I am very happy to be teaching this class. The Dark Arts are something I have been studying for a long time. I was killed by dark forces and since then it has been my mission to teach others how to defend themselves."
