�Thud�� �Thud��
�What�s that sound?� Whispers were heard all over the Defense Against The Dark
Arts classroom.
�Bet it�s from Filch�s room on the third floor! Wonder what�s happened to him!�
Seamus said quietly�
�If the noises are really from Filch�s room, let�s wish it�s a bad omen for him�
some more troubles!��said Ron Weasley in Glee.
�QUIET EVERYONE!� came Professor Umbridge�s voice at the teacher�s desk.
�Everyone, ignore the noise and go back to your copy of Defensive magical Theory
by Wilbert Slinkhard!� But, by the end of the class, the noise grew louder and
louder, and everyone started talking among themselves again. Suddenly, Filch
came running in the classroom, looking very desperate and looked as if he had
grown fifty older.
�Look Filch, you should never interrupt me when I�m in a �� Professor Umbridge�s
sentence trailed off when Filch interrupted her rudely.
�Please, Professor, there�s an unknown kind of species in my room, and it
appears to be destroying my desk and papers! Disastrous!� Upon hearing this,
Professor Umbridge ran to the third floor with Filch, seizing her wand from her
handbag is she ran past. Not long after, as screams from Professor Umbridge and
shouts from Filch were heard, the third floor was crowded with students, all
wishing that the �unknown� would frighten Professor Umbridge.
�Give way here students� come on� move!� came Professor McGonagall�s
high-pitched voice after then minutes. Professor Dumbledore followed behind. He
waved his wand, and immediately, all the mess made was gone. Professor Umbridge
was still holding out her wand, pointing it directly at the �unknown� creature
on the floor.
�Oh!� came Hermione�s voice. �That�s a kitsu, Professor Umbridge! Look at it!
Its so cute!� The little kitsu waved its three tails and Professor Umbridge and
started walking towards Harry. �I think we may need some help here, Poppy, would
you mind bringing Filch and Umbridge to the Hospital Wing. That�s very kind of
you, Poppy� came Professor Dumbledore�s voice.
Ron feeling a little left out, suddenly shouted, � Look what�s that! It�s
another Kitsu! Bet we haven�t learnt it in class before!�
�Oh! Ron you�re wrong, that�s a clawfur. Look, it only has a single tail!
Professor Lupin taught us before. The clawfur has extremely sharp claws and
their eyes seems to hypnotize their prey. They are very agile and�� she was
interrupted by Ron rather rudely, � I remember now, I�m not so forgetful.�
After Professor Flitwick and Hagrid carried a way the two zetapets, Professor
McGonagall shouted above the noise, �You may all return to your classes now!�
While walking, Fred Weasley whispered silently to George, and a mischievous
thought was made. Harry was a little furious about Umbridge giving him detention
earlier on, so, deciding to take revenge, he moved close to the twins, and
whispered, � I�ve a Fuzzer in under my bed, I�ve kept it for months, it if you
need it�� Harry�s voice trailed off, when �Thanks!� Fred said quickly to Harry,
noticing that Malfoy was eavesdropping.
[At the Gryffindor Dormitory] �Fuzzers are cute creatures, but when threatened,
they can use their powerful teeth. It�s the most suitable pet for Professor
Umbridge� By the way we know Umbridge that toad, she�ll be sure to point her
wand at him, and�� there came an annoying look from Hermione, and four
mischievous looks from the twins, Harry and Ron�

Muggle Schools
By Deltad
Children in the muggle world attend school much like young wizards and witches, but that's where the similarity ends. Personally I think the idea of attending a Muggle school almost horrifying. Don't get me wrong, I'm not prejudiced against Muggles, it's just that I don't know what I would do without my Quidditch and wand. Muggle children attend a class called "gym" where they exercise and study sports like football, rugby and something called basketball. Basketball involves bouncing a ball across the floor and throwing it into a hoop (and there is only one hoop) attached to the wall. Back and forth, seems quite boring to me. They take notes with pens and pencils, and can't use a wand to fetch notes, class supplies, etc. I think their Science class, where they mix chemicals, would be slightly similar to our Potions class. But they perform experiments like dissecting frogs, looking at items through microscopes, and mixing chemicals to produce clouds or weird colors. Whereas in Potions, we can age ourselves, make ourselves invisible, learn healing potions, and even learn to make ourselves look like someone else. Much more practical lessons in my opinion. Why would I want to learn about what the inside of a frog looks like? Muggle children have the choice of attending private or public schools. In public schools, muggle children just go for the day and come home in the evening to their families. Sometimes I get homesick at Hogwarts and envy the muggle children who can go home each night,(but that's the only thing I envy.) In private schools, muggle children stay for the term. Unfortunately for them, these schools are very boring in appearance. Big square buildings, with no personality and certainly no ghosts floating through the corridors. There are no hidden doors or moving staircases. Personally I love Hogwarts and would never want to attend a Muggle school. Compared to Hogwarts, Muggle schools seem routine, boring and almost militant. At Hogwarts, you just never know what could be around the next corner.
