I don't own any of the characters in the story.

Percy's POV

I woke up to someone yelling,"Rise and shine Percy!" I recognized the voice as Albus Dumbledore's. My first thought was, hey! I didn't have any nightmares! But then I remembered that I gotta teach.

"You missed breakfast, and classes start in ten minutes," Albus said as I opened my eyes. I looked around, just in time to see the door close. Great! Now I'm gonna have to find my classroom on my own! Sigh. I found my suitcase lying on my bed. Hmm, that wasn't there yesterday, was it? Oh well. I took out a green t-shirt and a pair of jeans and put them. I found a bathroom, so I took out my tooth brush and tooth paste and quickly brushed my teeth, something that I forgot to do yesterday. Oops. I stuffed my schedule into one pocket, made sure that Riptide was in the other, and quickly ran to my classroom at the other end of the hall.

Luckily, nobody was there yet, and I still had a good four minutes until class started. I went to sit on my desk, yes on my desk, not the chair, does anyone have a problem with that? No, good. So, as I was saying, I sat on my desk and took out the now crumpled schedule. Let's see, Monday, 8:00-9:00 with the fifth year Gryffindors and Slytherins. I glanced down at my wristwatch shield, yes Tyson made me another one, just as three kids came in.

Hermione's POV

I looked at my schedule. Today I had DADA first period with the new professor. I didn't really know what to think of Professor Jackson. He looks sort of laid back, but the same time, like if he was waiting to get attacked by someone, or something. And yeah, I have to admit that he is kind of good looking, but it was also quite offensive when he laughed at our wands.

"I wonder why that new professor didn't show up for breakfast today," Ron said, interrupting my thoughts.

"Well, let's go before we're gonna be late," I said, picking up my bag.

"Seriously? I wanna know where the one who burns food is, and she says 'Let's go to class.' How are those things even related?" Ron muttered to Harry. I decided to ignore him, mostly because I didn't understand him, and kept walking. The boys soon caught up to me.

"So, what do you guys think we'll be doing this year?" Asked Harry.

"In Defense Against the Dark Arts, or in Hogwarts itself?" I asked him.

"Probably something life threatening again. For both," Ron said. Harry and I nodded in agreement and I pushed open the door. As we walked I to the room, all three of us gasped. All of the desks were pushed up against the walls. There were racks of weapons, three behind the teachers desk, and three more on the sides of the room. Sitting on the large desk in the front of the room was Professor Jackson.

"Good morning!" He said cheerfully when he noticed us.

"Um, hi?" Ron said.

"Why are there weapons here, and, and where the heck are we supposed to sit?" Harry exclaimed before I got the chance to say the exact same thing.

"You'll see what the weapons are here for, and either you could stand, or sit on the floor. Your choice," he replied.

"What's that on your arm?" Ron asked suddenly. For the first time, I noticed something on his arm as well.

"A tattoo," he said like it was nothing.

"Do you think that he may be a Death Eater?" I whispered.

"I don't know. Maybe, but he seems a little young," said Harry. Ron just shrugged and sat down. Harry and I followed his example.

More people started filing into the classroom, and they were all as confused as we were. At 9:00, the professor closed the door and went back to the front of the room.

"Well," he started,"as you all know, I'm Percy. You are all gonna call me Percy,and not anything else. Now, I'm sure that you would all like to know what all of these weapons are doing here, am I correct?" Almost everyone nodded. Even the Slytherins looked interested. "Right, well, for a while, you are all gonna be training with these weapons, and that is how we are going to start off the year. So if you would all be so kind and stand up," at this everyone stood up. I was about to ask why we weren't actually leaning defense against dark arts, but I just really wanted to see what we were going to do .

"Please put your wands in your bags, and your bags in that corner over there," Percy said, pointing to a corner at the back of the room. There were some complains, but pretty soon, everyone did as they were told. Wow, this guy really knew how to make the Slytherins do what he wanted them to do! As we all gathered in the center, Percy casually picked up two daggers from one of the racks.

"Draco, Neville, what would you do..." Percy said slowly yet loud enough for everyone to hear, especially getting Neville's and Malfoy's attention,"If I just randomly did THIS!" With the last word, he threw one of the daggers at Neville, and the other at Malfoy, both aimed at the boys' stomachs. I and several other students gasped and/or screamed. I expected the knives to hit their targets, but that never happened. Neville did a 180 front flip right over the flying dagger and caught the hilt as he landed. On the other side of the room, Draco did so something similar, just that he did a back handspring and the dagger flew straight above him. He too somehow caught the dagger.

We all stared at him awestruck.

"Bloody hell!" Ron Ron screamed, finally breaking the silence.

"That, everybody, is the result of years and years of practice. You all will be learning how to do something similar. That's what all of these weapons are for. Now, please choose a weapon that you would like to practice with and go to that particular weapon rack." Everybody started asking Neville and Draco how they did that, but then the professor took them to the side and we had to go choose our weapons.

"What are you guys gonna try?" Harry asked. Ron looked at all of the different weapons and I shrugged. We watched as other kids chose which weapons they'd like to try out.

"I think I'm gonna try using a sword," Harry said breaking the silence.

"I'm gonna try archery," Ron decided. After a few more seconds of thinking, I decided on starting out small, so I went to the daggers.

"Well don't all just stand there, all of you have to actually pick a weapon!" Percy said. I noticed that Neville and Malfoy were talking to Percy, and more surprisingly to each other like old friends. I settled for a dagger that was just a little shorter then the length from my wrist to my elbow.

Draco's POV (Haha! I bet you didn't see that coming did ya?)

I couldn't believe that Percy was actually my new DADA teacher! I mean, I bet like twenty drachmas that he's my future brother in law, whether he denies it or not, and-But that's not important right now. Of course Percy demonstrated on me and Neville, my best friend, since we already know how to do mostly everything that Percy is gonna teach these wizards. Right, maybe I should explain more about that. You see, about five years ago, at Camp Half-Blood, yes, I'm a demigod, Chiron needed a few volunteers to go on a quest to a school for wizards in Great Britain. So, Hecate gave those demigods that decided to go her blessing. So yeah, there were some other demigods, all children of Hecate, living here in Great Britain who act as our parents. It's sorta sad how Neville and I have to act as enemies, bit at least he has Seamus to hang out with, a son of Hermes. Pretty soon well go back to live in Camp Half-Blood. I just hope that there won't be anymore wars to fight, because even as a child of Athena, strategizing does get kind of tiring after so many battles.

"Now, what are we going to do today?" I heard Percy say.

ΩΩΩΩΩ

I am SOOOOOOO sorry for the long wait! I promise to update quicker next time! So ya! Bya!
