7-Year D.A.D.A. Syllabus (Professor!Harry AU)
I’m a sucker for details, so I made up a syllabus for all seven years of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts (as I headcanon Harry would teach it) for the fic I’m writing. Figure that, since I already made it, I might as well put it out there. Feel free to use it — or parts of it — for fanworks of your own.
Two things!
For each year, I list topics to be covered and group some learning objectives or specifications/suggestions under each topic — but they’re not in order. Professor!Harry wouldn’t cover solely one topic at a time, but most likely group topics together and teach the necessary spells as the class went through activities. 
I also made two lists of spells under each Year — one which lists the spells students would learn while in DADA class, and another which lists the spells that students might use in DADA class but which would be learned in either Transfiguration or Charms.
More essay-length notes included at the very end of the Read More, since this is already getting too long.
[Syllabus begins]
Year 1: What kinds of danger are there in the wizarding world? And how do you know something is dangerous?
“...Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can’t see where it keeps its brain! Why didn’t you show the diary to me, or your mother? A suspicious object like that, it was clearly full of Dark Magic--”

The screwt was inches from him when it froze — he had managed to hit it on its fleshy, shell-less underside. Panting, Harry pushed himself away from it and ran, hard, in the opposite direction — the Impediment Curse was not permanent; the screwt would be regaining the use of its legs at any moment.

Notes
When making this, I tried to keep in mind
What Harry, based on his life experiences, might believe students need to learn
How difficult spells are to learn, canonically
What the Ministry expects Harry to teach them (and what will therefore be in their OWLs and NEWTs)
The purpose of the DADA class in general, and
How the rest of the classes in Hogwarts have been impacted by the yearly change in DADA professor
What do students need to learn?
The closest we can come to answering that first question is Harry’s experiences teaching Dumbledore’s Army. Unfortunately, we don’t see much of these lessons. What we do see tends to be combat-oriented — Harry tells the DA about a spell and then gives advice on their casting as they practice on each other. It’s all practical, no theory at all except for the books on the shelves in the Room of Requirement, and nothing on magical creatures (though this might be because he felt Lupin had already done a good job on that front).
Harry’s lessons to the DA were cut short, besides, just as they had reached the Patronus Charm — so we don’t know for sure what Harry would have gone on to teach them. I like to think that, if he was the professor, the answer would have just been — everything.
Everything he knows. Everything he’s used to defend himself.
He knows first hand that it’s not just about knowing the spells, that there’s a lot more to surviving than being a good duelist — he even says so outright when discussing the DA with Ron and Hermione. And I think that, as he continued to teach, his lessons would begin to reflect that.
The first thing that comes to mind — besides spells and combat — is physical activity. Learn how to dodge, get used to running, hone your reflexes, etc. DADA would be the PE of Hogwarts with Harry as professor. The second things that came to mind were wards and healing — things that are, admittedly, used far more creatively and often in fanfiction than in canon smh. Still, the canon use of them is there, and Harry relied on that knowledge during his camping trip from hell, so.
What’s on the OWLs and NEWTs?
Apart from just the things Harry would want to teach as part of DADA, there’s also whatever the Board of Governors expect him to teach — what will be on the OWLs and NEWTs.
Sometimes (most times? depending on your interpretation of Harry) this coincides with what Harry would teach anyway. However, I explain in this post why I think the Ministry would want to emphasize defense against magical creatures. I also imagine they would want the Legality section above taught at some point, though we know Harry found it horrifically boring in the fifth book.
The Review!!!! section in Year 5 is comprised mostly of whatever I deemed the minimum a student should know to not immediately die by the time they step out of Hogwarts + whatever the Ministry might want all students to know + the bare bones of defensive spells that one might use against a wizard.
All students take a DADA OWL because it is a required class for the first five years. At this point, students who are not interested in the subject and/or do not need a DADA OWL for their intended career will drop the subject. I tried to reflect this on the syllabus by making NEWT years more specialized — on the assumption that careers that require a DADA NEWT will also require specialization within the field.
How difficult is this class?
Harry would be a demanding teacher. I know a lot of people headcanon him as the fun teacher — and I do think a lot of his lessons would be fun, and he would try to make them fun — but I can easily imagine him getting annoyed when people don’t take his class seriously. The DA was voluntary, and everyone there wanted to learn and practice defensive spells; a lot of children in a time of peace would not see it that way. Many would drag their feet at the physical activity and complain about the hard work, the hard spells, and when are we ever going to use this anyway?
So I do think that, even when he isn’t actively trying to push his students, Harry’s DADA class would be hard. He sees himself as an average wizard — even though his teachers called him bright, even though people tell him he’s exceptionally good at defense — he thinks he’s nothing special, and he knows that if he can do it, you can too! So yes, he’d have high expectations and his class would be especially difficult if you’re not that into it.
Which is why some of the spells above are listed one year (or more!) earlier than the DADA class in canon presented them. Not that many, honestly. (The starkest difference is Homenum Revelio, which I listed as a Year 1 spell, but we only see Hermione use it canon in Deathly Hallows. But hey — canon spell difficulty isn’t mentioned; it could very easily be the case that Hermione simply hadn’t known the spell until then, or hadn’t thought to use it.)
We just don’t know very much about what makes a spell difficult. A recurring spell throughout this syllabus is the Patronus Charm — it’s listed under Spells to Learn in Year 3 and then continues being listed all the way through Year 7. That’s because it’s supposed to be an especially difficult spell (”beyond NEWT level”)... and Harry mastered it in his third year. So of course — if you’re following my interpretation of Harry — he would start teaching it in Year 3.
He might make allowances, given that apart from him, we only know of a few people who managed to cast it before their fifth year (Luna, Ginny, while in Dumbledore’s Army) and not while suffering the effects of a dementor, at that. So next to every reiteration of the Patronus Charm in the syllabus, I included what I think would be Harry’s minimum expectation of success.
DADA vs. Hogwarts
Why is the Knockback Jinx canonically taught in Charms class? This is complete speculation, but Flitwick (and maybe McGonagall) probably had to pick up the slack after a few years of the DADA professor position being cursed.
As the years went by and as Hogwarts expended all the competent teachers and scared away the rest, OWLs and NEWTs continued demanding the same results. Student performance on these tests must have steadily dropped, and I think spells that would have usually been covered by the DADA professor gradually shifted unto Charms class.
That might explain why Harry learned some offensive magic in Charms class instead of DADA — but the only reason I’m mentioning this right now is because I included a lot of charms in the Spells to Learn list that I’m quite sure were canonically covered in Charms class, but which I wanted Harry to cover earlier that Flitwick did. Oh well.
Concluding thoughts
This took way longer than I thought it would. Just... the sheer amount of time spent referencing the wiki, the Lexicon, the books... I checked the wiki’s specific references, too.
...But, hey, I had fun thinking about Harry Potter.

Tumblr media
You were a broke student going to a prestigious college. Of course that school had the best professors. At least that’s what you had heard. But you weren’t prepared for one of your professors to be so hot. Compared to your other teachers he was one of the youngest at the ripe age of forty when you were in your senior year.
Everything about him just screamed sex appeal. You weren’t one to judge someone solely on appearances but damn, he was fine. He had a sexy British accent and dark black hair and the way he rolled his sleeves up showcased his arms in just the right way. It didn’t help your concentration when he wore those tight black khakis that squeezed against his ass.
To help pay for your college tuition you became a teachers’ assistant. You did a lot of work for Professor Laufeyson and soon something began to bud. At first it was just friendly banter but then it developed into more. By the end of the school year you and your professor had a secret relationship. It was easier to keep it a secret because you were a teachers’ assistant. You could go to his classroom after hours and no one would bat an eyelash.
Over the summer your romance really hit it off. By your senior year you two were still going strong. So strong in fact you would tease him during class. It was blistering hot one day, which gave you an excuse to wear a loose top and a skirt. When you leaned over your desk the top was just low enough that your cleavage would be on display.
When he was doing a lecture and caught sight of your chest his breath would catch and he would falter, then go straight back to teaching. After class though when you came back to drop off papers you knew what was going to happen.
You knocked on the door to his office and he called for you to come in. You stepped into the room which was only lit by the lamp next to him. The lamp shade casted his mahogany desk in an orange glow. His walls were lined with the same material of bookshelves, which were filled with a variety of books.
He was grading assignments but when he saw you he set his pen down and sat back in his chair. He took off his reading glasses and set them down on top of the paper he was previously looking at. He crossed one of his legs over the other and intertwined his fingers in his lap. His polished black shoes were bobbing up and down and tapping on the floor.
He gave you a sultry smile before he started talking. “You’re very naughty. I saw what you were doing earlier. Were you trying to tease me darling?”
“Maybe.”
He ‘tsked,’ “I think you’ll need to be punished. Don’t you agree?”
“I suppose I do.” You were looking forward to the so-called punishment. It wasn’t actually a punishment at all. He would bend you over his desk and fuck you until you couldn’t walk anymore. In your book that was a treat.
“Sassy little thing aren’t you? Well, you know how this goes,” he said. He picked up his stack of papers and put them in his seat which he had stood from. He set the books in a stack next to his desk and put the lamp on top of it. From the new position of the light it was harder to see than before. The light was still on the ceiling and the sides of the desk, but it wasn’t as bright as earlier.
You indeed knew how this went. You walked to his desk and bent over, plump ass sticking out just for him. He walked around his desk and placed a hand against your ass. He let out a low chuckle.
“No underwear darling? I hope you haven’t let other people see your tight little pussy.”
“I haven’t. It’s only for you,” you said.
“That’s what I like to hear.”
He rubbed and pinched your butt cheeks before he even went near your vagina. He slotted his hand between your legs and pushed your feet so they would be further apart. He ran his thumb along your folds before he put it inside you. You started moaning as he moved his thumb around inside you.
“Let me hear you kitten,” he purred.
You moaned more as he increased the intensity of his movements. He took his thumb out and added two other fingers. He curled and scissored and pumped them in and out, doing everything he knew would make you cum. You were gripping the edge of his desk and he was fingering you so intensely in a few minutes of his cooing and your moaning you were about to reach your orgasm.
“I’m- I’m about to cum.”
“Not yet kitten. You’ve been naughty.” He pulled his fingers completely out of you, making a whine come out of your lips.
“Being needy will only make your punishment worse. Do you want me to stop?” he asked.
He had built you up until you were seconds away from coming and then stopped. Of course you didn’t want him to stop. You wanted him to put his fingers or dick in your vagina or else you would finish yourself off.
“No. Please- Please fuck me. I’ll stop being naughty,” you begged.
“You like it when I fuck you?”
“Yes- Yes. Please-” you were cut off by something being pressed against your slit. He had unzipped his pants and lined himself up whilst you were talking.
You pushed the rest of his length in by the time he was fully in you were close to your orgasm again. He immediately started thrusting, fulfilling your need for him. He wasn’t going to go easy on you at all. He was already going fast when he started and he had to hold onto your shoulders for support. His balls were slapping against you at every thrust, filling the room with grunts, moans, and the sound of slapping.
Loki himself wasn’t the type to last rounds and if he really wanted he could cum quickly. He intended to cum right after you did so when you screamed out he knew it was time. Your cum spilled out and covered his dick, creating less friction.
Just moments later his seed squirted into you. After a few more slower thrusts he pulled out, cum dripping with his and your cum combined. You turned around slowly, trying not to aggravate your sensitive pussy. There in front of you was Loki, who hadn’t pulled his pants back up and had his dick just hanging out.
“Why don’t you make it up to me and clean this up?” He motioned to his cock and you eased yourself onto your knees. You licked and sucked on his dick until all the juices were cleaned off. When you were finished you stood back up and Loki pressed a kiss to your lips.
“Thank you kitten. Do you want to stay for a drink?”
You stayed for a few more hours and had a drink with your professor until you had to go back to your apartment for the night.

Harry Potter mitchsen au headcanons?
sorry for the wait!! 
for the intents and purposes of this au theyre in the same year
slytherin aubrey and hufflepuff beca i stand by these sortings with my life
they start out as rivals because they both join dueling club 
beca is a muggleborn and kind of got dragged into joining by emily (also hufflepuff, pureblood and teaches beca about the wizarding world) 
beca picks up spells pretty fast, but doesn’t have the most control over them yet
beca ends up getting paired up with aubrey to practice and beca thinks aubrey is real cocky and doesnt like her at first 
aubrey is also the top in her potions class and beca is uhhh real bad at it and aubrey offers to help her
beca thinks shes being condescending so she’s like no thanks :)
aubrey was genuinely trying to help but after beca brushes her off she’s like fine if you wanna be that way ill be that way too
theyre always in a silent competition even if theyre not dueling with each other theyre glaring at each other from across the room  
one day beca accidentally hexes aubrey while theyre practicing because beca was busy glaring at her instead of focusing
aubrey starts throwing up slugs 
beca’s like “oh god oh god what did i do” 
prof snape is like “10 points from hufflepuff now take her to nurse pompfrey” 
beca takes aubrey there and she’s real awkward 
“so weird huh. didnt know i could make someone throw up slugs”
aubrey tries to talk between slugs 
“yeah *slug* its a *slug* schoolyard bully spell *slug*” 
“yeah. so....uh are you doing ok” 
“im GREAT beca” 
“ok right sorry” 
after that they kind of become friends? or closer to frenemies and they’ll practice dueling together and have snarky trash talking 
“nice try, beca. were you trying to stupefy the wall?” 
“Oh you should talk. You couldn’t disarm me if expelliarmus was your middle name”

hello again hp anon here! I don't know if I'm asking too much because this is harry potter related again (you can go ahead and ignore/delete this if it is). If not, I got another writing prompt for you guys if y'all are interested: hp!au yule ball headcanons with akaashi, kuroo, matsukawa, oikawa, and terushima. thank you~ :)
Why did I say two requests before I could orderdinner? I want my Chinese, plus delivery takes an hour, which I was planning onwriting in. Ugh.
Anyway, I think you can tell I’m in the hp moodright now. Hmmm…I’m not going to specify houses, since I don’t think it’s too important. Fun fact: this took me two pages in word to write. 
~~Admin Keiji
—————————————–
Akaashi:
I think wecan easily say Akaashi Keiji is the prettiest person ever
He asked you to the ballwhen you two are studying in the library. You were pouring over Arithmancynotes and he bluntly says, “Want to go to the Yule Ball with me?” You obviouslysaid yes because, well, Akaashi Keiji.
He dresses in a simpledressing gowns, looking much like a tux. He’s turning heads as he walks by(both female and male), but when he meets up with you, he claims you are the best-looking thing he’s everseen.
If it were up to him, he’dstay at the side the whole night not dancing, but he recognizes that you’d liketo dance and compromises to make you happy—you’d avoid dancing in the centerand stay to the outside edges.
He’s the kind of personwho will gladly hold your heels for you while you run to the restroom so youdon’t have to hobble there. Honestly, the most courteous boy in the entireroom.
Kisses you during thelast slow dance. However, he asks first so not to make you uncomfortable, whichcauses you to be uncomfortable.
Overall: 11/10 Would goto the ball again.
Kuroo:
Asks you out byattaching a howler to his cat’s collar. You don’t notice the note—just the cat—untilit goes off in breakfast “_____ YOU’LLGET A HOWLER EVERYDAY UNTIL YOU AGREE TO GO TO THE YULE BALL WITH KUROO!”He gets a detention and a date to the ball.
Despite his overwhelmingenthusiasm about the ball, he doesn’t realize he actually needed dress robes(lord, help this boy) until the day before. He was just planning on wearing hisschool uniform but gets stuck with Bokuto’s extra robe that was too small. Yet,this robe was too big width-wise, but too small length-wise. He looked like amess.
He tried for three hoursto do something with his hair, and failed. When he tells you this with a sadlook, you immediately take out the clips on one side of your head so you match.
At some point in hislife, someone must have told Kuroo he could dance well. At that same moment inhis life, he was lied to. Keep stepping on your feet and swinging you intopeople. But you have so much fun that you simply don’t care.
Tries to convince you tomake-out behind a pillar. It doesn’t take much convincing and your lips areswollen by the end of the night.
Overall: 10/10 Would goto ball again, but avoid dancing, make out more.
Mastsukawa: (i can’t write this boi seriously. He’s just ameme to me)
“Oh shit, waddup, _____,it would meme the world to me, if you would come with dis boi to the Yule Ball.”How could you refuse that?
Wears a pink plaid dressrobe with a striped undershirt and somehow, it’s the most attractive thing you’veever seen a person wear. His reasoning? Maybe he can become a school-wide memeif he wore it, as if he wasn’t one already.
Not only does he shovehis face with food, but he doesn’t care that you also shove your face with food the whole night.
Dances like he’s in amosh-pit during the slow songs; dances like it’s a slow song during more upbeatmusic. Miraculously, you are not embarrassed one bit when you join him. Maybeyou can be a meme, too.
Asks you to be thewindow to his wall, to be the sweat that drips down his balls. (Asks you to behis s/o). After you’re finished laughing, you agree to be the “tionary” to his “dick”
Overall: 420/69 wouldmeme with him again.
Oikawa:
You kind of expect thatthe reason he asked you to the ball over anyone else because you never hung allover him like all the others. Yeah, he’s cute, but not that cute.
He wears one of thenicest dress robes you’ve ever seen, and you admit that he looks good. It’s actually worth all the deathglares you’ve been receiving by hopeful girls wishing he’d had asked her.
He’s a very attentivedate and you get to see his true self, which is really nice. He’s not as suaveas he makes himself out to be, but really a dork who is always whining afterhis Iwa-chan. Something about seeing him in this light is refreshing and youwant to get to know him more.
You actually tell himthat, expecting him just to brush you off as another fangirl, but he blushes abit and suggests maybe you go to Hogsmeade together on the next trip out there.You agree and he blushes even more.
A very nice dancer,indeed. Perfect mixture between rhythm and steps. Leads you well and neversteps on your foot.
Overall: 10/10 Hogsmeadeis too far away
Terushima:
When the residentbad-boy asked you to the ball, you said yes. You felt like he would show a goodtime, and if you got detention, then so what.
Doesn’t wear dressrobes, tells you to get to fancy. He wears ripped jeans and a muscle shirt andyou wear a short “club” dress. You’re only able to get in the ball because hebribed Nishinoya with chocolate to distract the professors.
Crowd surfs once when apunk song is playing. One of the professors notice and almost catches himbefore he slips further into the crowd with you, other students hiding you andpointing the prof in the wrong direction.
Shows you what it’s liketo kiss someone with a tongue ring. It’s interesting, and you tell him you’regoing to need to collect more data points to form an accurate conclusion. Hehappily obliges.
When you finally get caughtand kicked out of the ball, and given a week’s worth of detention, you twoscurry to the kitchen to get a late-night snack, then make your way to the observatoryto talk about the meaning of life.
Overall: 10/10 You’d break all the school rules again.
