GRACE WAS QUITE EXCITED for the Care of Magical Creature lessons as they were taken by Hagrid, but was also worried as Hagrid's definition of 'harmless animals' was totally something else. In the end the same thing happened for which she was worried about. Draco Malfoy messed things up. He insulted the Hippogriff which resulted in him getting an arm injury from the animal. Grace wasn't worried about him, on the other hand she was worried about Hagrid. Malfoy would defiantly make sure this gets to his father and Hagrid was going to get into trouble.
When Malfoy appeared back in the Potions class, he was acting like some brave hero who just suffered very much. Brave hero? More like a whimpering coward. Grace was very much tempted to give him a real injury as the lesson went on.
Grace had taken Arithmancy too, which she shared with Hermione. After the Arithmancy there was only once class left, Defence against the dark arts which was taken by professor Lupin.
Professor Lupin wasn't there when they arrived at his first Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson. They all sat down, took out their books, quills, and parchment, and were talking when he finally entered the room. Lupin smiled vaguely and placed his tatty old briefcase on the teacher's desk. He was as shabby as ever but looked healthier than he had on the train, as though he had had a few square meals.
"Good afternoon," he said. "Would you please put all your books back in your bags. Today's will be a practical lesson. You will need only your wands."
A few curious looks were exchanged as the class put away their books. They had never had a practical Defense Against the Dark Arts class before, unless you counted the memorable class last year when their old teacher had brought a cageful of pixies to class and set them loose.
"Right then," said Professor Lupin, when everyone was ready. "If you'd follow me."
Puzzled but interested, the class got to its feet and followed Professor Lupin out of the classroom. He led them along the deserted corridor and around a corner, where the first thing they saw was Peeves the Poltergeist, who was floating upside down in midair and stuffing the nearest keyhole with chewing gum.
Peeves didn't look up until Professor Lupin was two feet away; then he wiggled his curly-toed feet and broke into song.
Rude and unmanageable as he almost always was, Peeves usually showed some respect toward the teachers. Everyone looked quickly at Professor Lupin to see how he would take this; to their surprise, he was still smiling.
