He grinned and walked into the house with his small group of friends. "Thanks, mum. I think we'll make do with what we have available to us in town for food," he agreed with a laugh. Though glancing over, he could see by Hermione's facial reaction, she'd rather stay and pick his mum's brain. Honestly, that was part of the reason they were here. Okay, other than simply wanting to see his Mum.
Harry waited until everyone was seating around the table with the teapot and mugs. "It's not going as well as any of us would hope," he answered after a minute. "We have a new Professor, Professor Umbridge who was hired by the Ministry for Defense. She's limiting what everyone can and can't do. And, the worst part is, she's not actually teaching us anything. They don't believe that we need practical knowledge."
"And, even I'm having problems with this method," Hermione piped up with a groan. "Especially for our O.W.L's in the Spring. We think the Ministry is meddling and only teaching us what they think is necessary."
Neville and Blaise nodded.
Harry grimaced, knowing that Hermione had brought up the possibility of him teaching some kind of practical defense class. "As for your other questions, you'll be happy to know that Gryffindor is in the lead for the house cup and Binn has not learned a new teaching style since he died," Harry said with a little quirk of his mouth. The semester had been rough so far knowing what he did about Voldemort's return and the lack of cooperation from the Ministry.
And if you want to play any of his friends, please feel free to! Not sure why I chose so many. Hah!
