Chapter 6

Detention and a Surprise

"Why would yeh even think about doin' that?" asked a very angry Hagrid, the next day at 7:30. Luna, Ginny, and Neville just arrived, and Hagrid was yelling at them about what they had done.

"It doesn't belong to him, Hagrid," Ginny tried explaining, once again, "it belongs to Harry."

"Even if yeh had gotten away with it, how would yeh of gotten it ter Harry?" asked Hagrid. No one said anything. Hagrid sighed. "Ginny, can I talk to yeh alone outside?" Ginny stood up, and walked outside before Hagrid, who shut the door after him.

"Listen," he said, calmly, "Harry really cares about yeh. He wouldn't want yeh ter do stunts like this."

"I know he wouldn't," said Ginny, "but sometimes you have to take fate into your own hands."

"But this isn't the way,"

"Then what should I have done, eh?" said Ginny, a little bit loudly.

"Waited fer the right time to act," said Hagrid.

"That could have taken until the last battle if there was one. And you don't have to listen to them say all those things about Harry and muggleborns. Hermione is my best friend so I have to hear about how '

They are animals,' I mean it's not easy to just sit there. I kept calm today so I wouldn't get punished again."

"Speakin' of getting punished, why were you the only one to get punished the first time?"

"Because I was the first to speak so and I got a huge punishment."

"At least you're ok,"

"Yeah, let's start detention."

Ginny and Hagrid joined Luna and Neville. Hagrid lead the way through the forest, Ginny right behind him, and Luna and Neville walking side by side. Ginny always had a feeling that they were more than friends, but she never wanted to say anything. They walked very far into the forest without stopping until they heard hooves.

"How many times do we have to tell you to stay out of the forest, Hagrid!" shouted the centaur Ronan.

"I'm on detention duty tonight, Ronan," said Hagrid.

"I don't care," said Ronan, who raised his bow and arrow. Ginny walked out from behind Hagrid.

"Don't shoot please," Ginny said, exasperated.

"You have no reason to be here, human," said another centaur, Magorian, who also had a bow and arrow rose.

"I know you don't like witches and wizards, but we're not the ones who angered you," Ginny said, trying to reason with them.

"You think we care," shouted yet another centaur, named Bane, "you try to study about the future; you try to look at us like we're pets."

"Please, we respect you, we don't look at you like pets," Ginny said.

"SILENCE!" shouted Ronan at Ginny, "we don't have time to listen to your nonsense." Ronan turned to Hagrid, "you have five minutes to get out of here."

Ginny took two steps closer to the many centaurs that surrounded them. She took a deep breath.

"Please, think about what I have to say," she started, Ronan and Magorian and many other centaurs' bows and arrows fell, "We want to help you. You don't have to thank us or you may not want us to help you at all, but we want to get rid of the people who forced you to have so little part of the forest just as much as you do. They've killed the people we loved, broken up families, and even tortured families and made them go insane." She glanced at Neville. "They've made families go into hiding and are the reason why we are in a wizard war. We aren't asking for your help, we just need to plan against them to win this war and help everyone we love. Please let us do what we need to do so we can help you."

For a while, there was a pause among the centaurs. Bane, Ronan, and Magorian watched Ginny the whole time she spoke. Then Bane broke the silence.

"We'll let you pass, just this once," he said, "But don't you ever come into the forest again, any of you."

All the centaurs left them. Ginny let a huge breath escape her. Luna, Neville, and Hagrid walked up to her.

"That was really brave," said Neville.

"Your family and Harry all would have been proud," said Hagrid.

They walked deeper into the forest to where Grawp was. They talked to him and taught him more English for a while. Then they left the forest. They walked into the Entrance Hall and went up to their dormitories for a goodnights sleep. The next morning was a Saturday. Ginny sent the days date on the D.A coins to everyone for a meeting. They went up right after breakfast.

"How was detention," "What happened," "What did you have to do"? These were some of the questions Ginny, Neville, and Luna were asked when everyone arrived for the meeting.

"Quiet," shouted Ginny. Everyone obeyed, "We'll answer the questions after the meeting, right now we have something to discuss."

"What is it?" asked Avery.

"I came up with this idea last night during detention," Ginny began, "I was think that we should do something for the Death Eaters to know we are around."

"We can't put our names," said Parvati.

"Of course not," said Ginny.

"What did you have in mind?" asked Avery.

"You remember five year ago when the chamber of secrets was opened?" she asked, everyone nodded, "and the messages in the corridors?" everyone nodded again, "I was thinking we should do something like that, messages on the walls."

"What will the messages say?" asked Padma.

"Things like 'Dumbledore's Army, Still Recruiting,' or 'Dumbledore's Army is back' messages like that."

"That's a great idea," said Neville.

"What if we are caught," asked Ernie.

"We won't be, we'll use the Disillusionment Charm, I know how to do it," said Ginny.

"What if we don't want to do it?" asked Hannah.

"You don't have to do it," Ginny said, "this is if you want to, but you can't tell anyone that we did it."

There was a short pause.

"If you want to go, please sign the paper that is going around," Ginny said, pulling out a piece of parchment. "I won't be mad if you don't go, you can still come to meetings and I'll still teach you. I'm not forcing you to go."

The paper went around to everyone in the room, and, to Ginny's surprise, everyone signed it.

"Ok, now meet in the entrance hall at one o'clock in the morning and put on dark clothes, got it?" Ginny asked. Everyone nodded. "Good. Let's practice spells. The one for today is Stupefy. It's very important tonight because we may need to us it to fight off Slytherins." They practiced the spell until they got it completely perfect, which took a little bit of time. They then did the disarming spell, which didn't take long. After the meeting, Ginny stayed in the 7th floor corridor.

"What are you doing?" asked Neville.

"Going to get paint for tonight," Ginny said. She then walked in front of the entrance to the room of requirements three times. After the third time, the door appeared and they opened it up. It was a small room this time, and was bare except for 8 cans. Ginny and Neville walked over to them and opened them. They were filled to the brim with red paint. Ginny and Neville closed them and took two cans each and ran up to Gryffindor tower and hid them in a cupboard, and locked it. They rushed back down to the room of requirements, grabbed the last 4 cans and hid them in the cupboard as well, and then locked it. They then went to their dormitories and changed into dark clothes, then took seats on the couch in the common room and relaxed. Parvati and Seamus met up with them around 12 wearing dark clothes as well, and then at 12:45, they each grabbed two cans each and snuck out of the common room. Luckily, the Fat Lady knew of their plans and didn't say anything when they left. They went down every corridor without any problems. When they finally got to the entrance hall, they set down the paint and met Avery, Luna, Hannah, Ernie, Susan, Michael, Anthony, Terry, and Padma.

"We'll make the signs here. Now let's get the charms on us," said Ginny. Everyone stepped up one by one to get the Disillusionment Charm. After everyone had the charm placed on them, Ginny did herself, and they started the messages. Terry and Michael wrote "Dumbledore's memory will always be with us"; Avery, Ernie, and Susan wrote "Dumbledore's Army is back"; Anthony and Padma wrote "There is still Harry Potter and Dumbledore supports at Hogwarts"; Seamus, Hannah, and Parvati wrote "Death Eaters can't break Dumbledore's Army's Spirit"; Neville and Luna wrote "Death Eaters can't get Dumbledore's Army"; and Ginny wrote "Dumbledore's Army cannot be stopped" and "Enemies to Dumbledore's Army Beware".

"Good Job everyone," Ginny said, looking around, but she noticed a huge plain wall that didn't have anything on it. She wrote a message, bigger than any other message there. It said:

Dumbledore's Army

Still Recruiting

Ginny stepped back to look at all the messages, she was satisfied.

"After breakfast," Ginny said, quietly, "let's meet in the trees a couple feet away from Hagrid's hut." Everyone nodded.

"Let's go back to our common rooms," said Neville as the charm started wearing off. Everyone ran quietly to their common rooms. Ginny, Neville, Parvati, and Seamus arrived in their common rooms at almost 3 o'clock, and they didn't have any expectations about going to bed. They sent high-fives around the four of them.

"I can't wait until they see it later," said Seamus.

"You aren't the only one," said Neville.

The four of them laughed and stayed up until it was about 8 in the morning. They changed quickly and went downstairs, where many of the students were in the Entrance Hall looking at the messages. Everyone looked scared, Ginny and the other three Gryffindor D.A members pretending to.

"Enjoy it now Dumbledore's Army," shouted Snape, above all the muttering, "You will be caught one day."

Everyone went into the Entrance Hall and ate, the room being much louder than usual. After breakfast, Ginny, Neville, Parvati, and Seamus went outside and ran to the outskirts of the forest where all the other D.A members were.

"That was great," said Ernie, quietly.

"Yeah," Avery agreed. Everyone sent high-fives to everyone else. They laughed quietly then went up to the Room of Requirements, where they asked for 'a room where they can celebrate with food and drinks, and no Death Eater or Voldemort Supporter could find them.' Everyone ate, drank, and, well, celebrated on what they did.

"Everyone did great today," said Ginny, "I saw Alecto Carrow shaking when she saw the messages."

"Malfoy looked as if he would faint," said Anthony.

"Pansy was crying," said Susan.

Everyone laughed and then, later, went to lunch and dinner, then going back up to the Room of Requirements after every meal, asking for the same thing. At about 9 o'clock, everyone said their goodbyes and headed into different directions to go to their common rooms, where everyone fell asleep almost instantly, with smiles on their faces.
