Harry huffed, since he mostly wanted to continue the conversation with Snape--he was annoyed at how the man brushed him off all the time. He wasn't sure what this message from Lupin was about, since he had taken a Sleeping Draught the night before and wouldn't be woken up until it wore off unless in extenuating circumstances. He thought to ask Luna, but she was conversing with Minerva, and he didn't really have a wish for Snape to snark at him some more, so he didn't ask him. Instead, he just wondered, rubbing his arm a bit because it had begun to throb gently.
He wanted to watch Snape again because the man mystified him, but as the man seemed to be actually reading now, he figured he'd just let him be and finished his breakfast. Then, he got up, smiled at everyone, said "see you later, guys" and headed to his classroom.
Once there, Harry made sure he had all the syllabuses in order for the first years. He'd never gotten any in DADA as a student, but he felt that it would eliminate some problems, like in Snape's class when he gave pop quizzes on material that nobody knew had to be read in the first place. Harry had one for each level and he had made enough copies for everyone. He'd thought about how to differentiate it from normal parchment but then it had hit him--he'd just charm it lime green! That'd definitely do it. He'd tell the students how beneficial it would be for them to have an outline of what he was planning to teach, and he'd just tell them if they had to change anything.
Today, he had just decided to do an introduction and have a quiz for everyone--except first years--to see what they already knew and would make their syllabuses when he tweaked his lesson plans to teach everything they needed to know. For the first years, he'd just give a speech and show them expelliarmus. He didn't really expect them to be able to do it, as it wasn't the easiest spell, but he wanted to show them an example and also see if he had any extremely powerful wizards or witches in the class.
Today, he had the seventh year NEWT class, fourth year Slytherins and Ravenclaws, second year Gryffindors and Ravenclaws, first year Gryffindors and Slytherins, fifth year Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs, and third year Slytherins and Hufflepuffs. He wasn't particularly looking forward to the classes with Gryffindors and Slytherins together, but he'd make it work.
