Chapter 2

Fred had spent most of the day planning new joke shop products with George. They were just starting to improve their earlier idea of Snafloo powder. If one used Snafloo powder instead of floo powder, for the floo network, they would find themselves in the same spot, growing fur, and coughing up hair balls. They had tested it on George, but they couldn't find a way to stop him from hacking up hairballs. After a few tries at an anecdote, they had gotten to the point where George was only hacking fur ever 2 or so hours. Fred glanced at his watch, and noticed it said 2:59 pm.

"George it's time to go, mate! Harry wants us to meet him out by the shack in a minute!" Fred gasped cleaning up their mess and running for the door.

It looked as if George was about to say something, but instead he hacked up a hairball. He shrugged to himself, and ran down the stairs after Fred. It was raining outside when the twins reached the shack. No one else was there yet.

"Imagine the nerve! Being late to one's own meeting'!" Fred laughed aloud. He

quickly became silent, when he noticed the light was on inside the shed. He carefully opened the door, and found Harry and the gang already inside.

"It's about time you guys got here!" Hermione sniffed.

"I know you're obsessed with us Hermy, but honestly you've got to give us some breathing room, doll face!" George said slyly.

"I mean honestly, Ron might get suspicious if we keep meeting up like this!", Fred smirked, and then, as if just realizing Ron was sitting next to Hermione he added, "Oh Ron, fancy seeing you here!".

Ron turned deep red, but kept his mouth shut. He had 17 years of experience knowing which battles to leave well enough alone. One just didn't mess with Fred and George. Instead he turned to Harry and whispered into his ear. Harry nodded, and faced the twins once again.

"We've called you here today, to make an announcement." Harry said," We've decided to take matters into our own hands. The only thing we…" Harry was interrupted by a bang at thee door. When he opened it he found several faces he recognized. Lee Jordan, Oliver Wood, Alicia Spinnet, Cho Chang, Neville Longbottom, Dean Thomas, Seamus Finnigan, as well as various other Hogwarts students and alumni walked into the shed followed by Harry.

"It's abut time you guys got here, even though some people are missing. Thought you weren't coming!" Harry reprimanded the new addition of people.

"If we had wanted to hear more nagging, we would have stayed at home with our mothers!" Wood shouted out.

"Fine then!" Harry retorted moodily, "Let's get down to business. The reason I called you all here today is very simple. With Dumbledore dead, and the ministry in shambles, I think it's up to us to do something about Voldemort and his death eaters!"

"But what can we do about it? We're just kids!" Cho Chang asked shyly.

"I'm willing to do a-a-anything in my power t make sure V-V-Voldemort doesn't break up anymore families." Neville said determinedly.

"I'm with Neville on this one; we have to do something, because no one else will!" Ginny agreed.

Everyone had something to say, and with over 20-smething people stuffed into the small shack, the noise and anger escalated. Each person had a different opinion. Fred could tell that this meeting was going nowhere unless someone spoke up.

"Everyone, everyone please listen to me.", Fred tried to say calmly, but to no avail. "SHUT THE BLOODY HELL UP!" Fred screamed. Instantly the room went quiet. Everyone looked in fear up at Fred. "Now listen to what Harry has to say. PLEASE! Thank you." All eyes turned to Harry.

"Thank you, Fred." Harry nodded at him, "2 years ago, we started something. It began at first to make up for the incompetence of a certain Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, professor Umbridge. I have decided to resume where we left off I have decided to resume…".

The shed door slammed open, bringing the wind and rain into the shed. Few, including Neville, even screamed. Everyone turned to face the now open door and see who, or what had caused it. In walked a very tall, very attractive, very wet black girl. "Sorry I told Wood I would be, I'm sure he relayed the message." she smiled looking at Oliver. He averted her eyes sheepishly, "I knew I forgot something…." Oliver muttered.

"Angie!" Fred gasped under his breath. He hadn't seen her for awhile. Damn, she looked good. He watched her as she walked passed him, without so much as even a glimpse, and sit next to Oliver. Fred thought he was over Angelina. But seeing her again stirred up some feelings he didn't realize he still had.

"The DA, Dumbledore's Army!" Harry finally finished his sentence. But Angelina's big entrance had overshadowed his surprise, and no one seemed to really hear him.

"The DA?" Dean repeated facing Harry again. Everyone else joined Dean in looking at Harry again. They all had the same look, like they couldn't believe what he had just said.

"Well I don't know about you guys," Luna spoke up for the first time, "But if we could defeat Voldemort once, I think we could do it again."

It was Luna's turn to be stared at by everyone. And for the first time, Harry was glad that Luna was actually making sense. The only person not looking at Luna was Fred, and he was looking at Angelina.
