Harry's Classroom Dynamics

"Hello Professor, how are you today?" Harry asked in a polite voice, he was tempted to just insult the man but he knew that he was no longer protected by the rules of the tournament and therefore he was susceptible to point loses and detention, of course he could refuse the detentions but that would invite more trouble and for now at least Harry would have preferred not to have that. He would also be a fool to not consider how useful a good reputation could be for him, sure he had a few rocky starts in second and fourth year but he was pretty sure he could make it work. Besides, doing what he wants without getting into trouble is part of the fun.

"I would be a lot better if I did not have to see your face Potter." Snape sneered at him, Draco snorted but Harry did not react. "Why are you sitting at the Slytherin table?"

"Because I wanted to talk with my friends." Harry said as he gestured to Daphne and Tracy.

"Listen Potter you arrogant brat, I..."

"What is happening here?" A girlish voice asked as Madam Umbridge walked up to them.

"Hello Professor," Harry said to her before Snape or Malfoy could say anything. "the Professor and Mr Malfoy were simply asking me about why I was sitting at the Slytherin table, I was merely explaining how I wanted to sit with my friends and how there are no rules against sitting at other tables."

"Mr Potter is correct about the rules," Umbridge said to Snape. "and I do believe I heard you insulting Mr Potter, that is hardly professional, is it Professor Snape?" She asked. Snape looked like he was resisting the urge to glare at her. Instead he settled for storming off, Harry did not know what the man was thinking but it made him look like a five year old throwing a tantrum. "Good day Mr Potter." Umbridge said to Harry before walking off.

Harry felt a shiver go down his body and suddenly felt dirty as an urge to wash himself briefly came over him but he pushed it aside. Yes the woman may have done something nice for him and pissed off Snape, both things that he liked, she was just creepy and Harry could tell that there was something she wanted from him.

"You think you're so special Potter?!" Malfoy snarled at Harry, furious that once more things had gone the way that Harry wanted.

"Malfoy are you always this big of an idiot or do you just wish to show off when I am around?" Harry said as he rolled his eyes. "It is amusing to listen to you try and fit your whole vocabulary into one sentence but you should really stop, you are just embarrassing yourself. I do not engage in battle with the unarmed which is why I will not fight you in a battle of wits, I'd recommend trying your luck at something easier, like those two trolls behind you. They're about a level above your speed but I am sure that you could reach their mental capabilities with enough dedication and practise."

"Screw you Potter!"

"I have no doubt that you wish to Malfoy but once more, I am straight." Harry shrugged. "I am sorry if that disappoints you, I assume that disappointment is something your family is used to though, after all what else would your parent call you?" Harry smirked at Malfoy. Malfoy growled and moved to remove his wand only to pause when he saw Harry's wand pointed at his crotch. "No, go on Malfoy. you were about to act like a man for the first time in your life, shame that it you continue to do so it will be the last time in your life." Harry said as he gave Malfoy a challenging look, Malfoy gave Harry a look of pure hatred before he stormed off with Crabbe and Goyle following after him. Harry rolled his eyes again and returned to his breakfast.

"Well Potter..." Daphne said after a few moments. "at least you keep things entertaining." she commented.

"I try my best." Harry grinned.

Soon it was time for the first defence class of the year, when Harry entered he sat at the back just in front of the desk that Daphne and Tracy shared,

In the defense classroom the students were all waiting for the defense teacher to arrive, some were playing and others were chatting. Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley were 'subtly' glaring at Harry who was currently looking back and talking to the two Slytherin girls.

"She probably won't be that bad." Daphne said optimistically when they began discussing what the lesson would be like.

"Please," Harry snorted. "Quirrell was an incompetent stuttering idiot who only taught theory for the most part," Harry said as he decided not to mention that the man had Voldemort sticking out the back of his head. "Lockhart was an incompetent dumbass who only wanted book sales, Moody turned out to not be Moody and in fact a death eater disguised as him. Our only competent defence teacher so far was Professor Lupin and as far as the ministry is concerned he is a just a 'dark creature'. Maybe we will be surprised but I highly doubt it would be in a good way."

At that precise moment Dolores Umbridge entered the room from the teacher's entrance, she started off by burning a paper bird that was flying around the classroom, effectively killing the happy mood at a speed that could only be beat by a group of dementors.

"Good morning class." She said in a sickly sweet voice as she gave them a wide and disturbing smile. "No, no that won't do." She said when the class gave a half-hearted reply. "A little louder please, 'good morning class'."

"Good morning Madam Umbridge." The class said reluctantly. Not Harry though, part of growing up and attending muggle schools meant that he had to take part in the school plays. And unlike Dudley, Harry had quickly realised he could not sing so always just stood at the back and mouthed the words, which turned out to be good practise for now.

"I told you so." Harry whispered to Daphne and Tracy as Umbridge walked to the front of the class, the former gave him a small nod as she was already able to tell that the lesson was not going to be as good as she would have liked. Umbridge's ridiculously cheery attitude was already ruining it.
