Harry Potter and What Happened After - Sahits

For the next hour Marc talked about the different use of Patronuses and eventually handed out a quiz on
the origins of the Patronus charm. "Normally I wouldn't bother with this part of the lesson, but since it
usually takes nearly a month to get the whole class to produce corporeal Patronuses we have the time."
After the quiz there was only a few minuets left before lunch. "This afternoon we'll be starting our
defensive unit. We'll be using dueling and other methods to practice various defensive charms and even
some attack and counter charms. If you don't already, have the first volume of Practical Defensive
Magic and Its Use against the Dark Arts read, we'll be using a lot of the defensive charms in there. Any
questions?" Marc looked around, and after he was sure that nobody had any questions he nodded.
Almost as if his nod was a cue, the bell rang and everybody started shuffling around.
As they got up Ron turned to Harry and said, "Harry, exactly how much of Practical Defensive Magic
and Its Use against the Dark Arts did you teach us in 5th and 6th year? When I looked through it I saw
that there was a lot of stuff you had taught us."
"I used all of the stuff that wouldn't injure people more than them having a few bumps and bruises,"
said Harry, "but there's a whole bunch of stuff in there that I wouldn't have used on Malfoy."
Ron looked stunned and disgusted at the same time. "Oh," was all he seemed to be able to say.
"Ron, how much of those books have you read?" asked Hermione as they arrived at the great hall.
Ron got an embarrassed look on his face, "I'm almost done with the first one," he said, "and I've
skimmed through most of the others."
Hermione smiled, "ok," she said as they sat down.
Harry, Ginny and Ron all looked amazed at Hermione reaction; usually she would have been all over
Ron for not reading the books, and saying that he needed better study habits. Then she would have
pulled him off to the library to get in as much reading as possible.
"Who are you and what have you done with my Hermione," asked Ron as he reached over and felt
Hermione's forehead.
When Hermione saw there looks she burst out laughing, "It's really me, I promise, I've just figured out
that Ron doesn't have perfect study habits."
"Prove it," said Ron.
"You prove that your self dear," she said as she pulled a plate of meatloaf towards her.
"No, prove that you're Hermione Granger," said Ron.
"Oh, well let's see. When we went to pick my parents up in Australia, you introduced us to them, before
I restored their memories, as a newly engaged couple looking for an apartment."
Ron nodded, "it's Hermione," he said simply as he too pulled a plate towards him.
Harry and Ginny just looked at each other, wondering at their friend's odd behavior. But eventually
they too pulled plates towards themselves and started eating also.
After lunch the four friends headed back to class. As they got there they found the Professors Aquos at
the door, there foreheads together and large smiles on there faces. The two of them moved apart slowly
as Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione started approaching.
"I'll see you after class," said Marc as Molly started walking away. She just smiled and nodded. The
friends didn't hear or see anymore of the conversation because they had walked into the class room.
An hour later the lesson was almost over and Hermione had just asked about homework, earning
