Harry's pov..

After feast last night we went to our bunks to sleep.
Today was Monday, so we have our classes.

We were going to the great Hall, for breakfast and to recited our time tables.

"it's so good to be home"
"yeah it really is good to back mate."
"I just wish nothing happens this year. It's our 3rd year. We have new subjects."

"seriously Hermione, we don't even have our schedules yet, and you're already talking about how much we have to study."

"let's go to breakfast Guys."

We sat on our table. And started eating our breakfast. When the mail started arriving.

We saw a magnificent phoenix heading towards the teachers table. Everyone was gawking at the Phoenix.

"hey Zoë, how are you girl."
The bird ruffled her feathers.
"a bit tired, go on, go to my quarters. And rest."
The bird bowed a bit, then flew away.

The rest of the breakfast was quiet.
I was interested in the new professor.

"what do you think he is like"
"seems fine to me. But after last two years, who knows."

Our schedules are pretty hectic.
But we had three new classes today. 2 new subjects.
It was already 7:50

"guys we should run, or McGonagall is going to turn us into maps or cloaks."

When we completed our first class.
We ran to dada.
We met the teacher outside our class.

" sorry class but we are not using this class today. We are going to use another room, so please follow me."
While going down, we met peeves sticking gum in the portrait holes.

"peeves, our caretaker will not be able to get on his stool so high. So I request you not to put the gym there."

" loony lupy lupin....loony lupy lupin....loony lupy lupin"
The class was shocked to see professor lupin smiling, he turned to us and whispered.
"watch closely, this is a very useful spell.
'walladsai' "

We saw peeves being pushed by a powerful force.

"cool sir"
"thank you dean"

We soon reached the class.
Let's say After the class, we knew our favourite professor.

"it was the best dada class ever."
"talking about"
"old lupin's"
"class."
"we had him"
"1st thing in"
"morning"
"now that's a"
" fun class " the twins said together.

"well we should run now or we'll be late for defense."

When we reached our class. The was no teacher inside.
As soon as the class filed. The professor walked in.

"morning kids. Now I don't know anything about your experience defending yourself.
This class is all about survival.
Has anyone ever done something adventurous, a bit dangerous perhaps."

"......."

"well, that's sad. Has no one done anything daring, except 3 students in this class.
Do you know proper way to a duel."

"we learned a bit about dueling last year, but nothing much."

"hmmm that's not good, I've gotten the same response in all of my classes. I hope you all join us on the quiditch field today at 4:30.
I've asked headmaster here to show you all a proper duel."

"Sir are we going to about dueling in this class."

"no child, that's not all.
I hope you have seen your schedule's. We have classes 4 time a week, out of which 2 are 40 minutes class. Where you'll fight and practise spells.
The other is much more physical.
A class which i assure you, all are gonna hate. It will be hard. But the results will be great.
I've got to get you ready for the real world."

As soon as he finished the bell rang, but no one could move.

"remember kids, I'm your friend. You know that a killer is on loose. That is one of the main reason, why we are having this class. Order being last year's event. You can go now enjoy your day."

With that we soon left for lunch.
The rest of the day was uneventful.

Soon we were going for our last class care of magical creatures. We saw professor Dumbledore, jackson and Hagrid talking. When we reached them, Dumbledore bid us goodbye. But professor jackson stayed.

"alright class, Professor here have me permission to show you a few of his er friends."

The class looked curiously at the new professors.
Suddenly we could hear a very soft music. It was so beautiful.
Me, Ron and Hermione knew that music. It was a phoenix. We searched the sky and saw two different creatures.

As soon as they landed, one other came out of the forest. The class screamed. But the creatures went straight to professor jackson and bowed to him. He signed. Then just shook his head.

"no need to fear, they are vicious but only to those who are enemy or danger to the world. They are very smart.
Can anyone tell me what they are called?"

"it's a Pegasai, Phoenix and a Wolf. But Pegasus were just thought as myths."

"and where did the myths came from, they do have some ounce of truth in them. However it's for some other day.
These are my friends.
This wolf is named Kai.
This phoenix is called Zoë.
And this is Blackjack, my first familiar."

"now class for the next 2 weeks, we will be learning about these beauty's.
For today you can try to post or stroke them. But don't anger then."

The three went in a line infront of professor jackson.
We slowly came and touched them.

Though before anyone could touch the Pegasus, he looked back at professor.
"no blackjack, we had a deal. I'll get poker here."
It looked like the Pegasus was whining.
"blackjack"

Soon he turned and looked at the person infront of him. Which was a nervous Neville.
Blackjack stood straight, then gave a nod as if saying it's okay I won't kill you.

When Neville refused to move, the animal neighed. Then went towards him. Neville gently stroked his features, then calmed down.
The Pegasus moved to its original position.

Least to say, the class was interesting.
