7. D.A Again
"I think that's a great idea Grace but you have to ask Professor McGonagall." Said Hermione "Ya I will since we don't have school today either. So I can ask her quick." "Ya and if she says yes we can put out posters for sign-ups." "Ya" "Ok don't get your hopes up." Said Ron. "I know Ron but still it would be fun." "I get it Hermione but still." "Well I'm going to ask Professor so wish me luck." "We will" Harry, Ron and Hermione said together. Then Grace left out through the door. "Hope Professor lets us." "Ron she will I know she will." "Let's go to breakfast ok will learn later." As they went to breakfast they saw Malfoy talking to Grace who seemed in a rush. When she saw us she turned and said "She said yes!" and then went back to Malfoy. As breakfast was waiting to appear Grace , Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Hermione were telling all the Gryffindors who were in D.A. before that it was starting again. "It's starting again yes!" said Neville. "We also have a new teacher." Harry said. "It's Grace ." Everyone congratulated her and Harry was happy to see her that way. "When's the next meeting though?" she asked. "How about tomorrow after school. We'll tell the rest of the people in Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff and the news should spread." Hermione suggested. "That's a good plan Hermione suggesting how fast the heir of Slytherin rumor Harry had fashioned." "The what?" Grace asked. "Later." Said Harry. "You have a lot of laters in your life Harry." said Grace the next day classes dragged on and on. After class everyone rushed to the come and go room for D.A. "Ok everyone." Harry said. "Since this is the first class we had in three years I think we should start with a duel. Grace ?" "Sure I'll go easy on you." "Oooo." All the girls said. "Go get her Harry she's your sister you can hurt her." Said Ron. So they stepped up bowed and when Harry yelled start no one moved. "Stupefy!" yelled Harry. "Finite Incantartien!" Grace yelled. Then all of a sudden Grace said. "Expelliamus!" Stupefy!...Featara!" Harry was knocked to his feet. Grace came over him and said. "Not so little anymore am I?" "Nope." "Grace that was bloody brilliant how you did it so fast I mean it was all of a sudden." Said Ron out of breath. "Thanks Ron that was just me warming up. Today I think we should learn passed spells you could not do or just review. Do you agree Harry?" "That's a good start. I think you broke my back." Everyone laughed while Grace helped Harry up. "I think since there are so many of us that we should have groups then switch each meeting. How about we switch girls with me and boys with Grace ." So everyone went to their groups. "I think at the end we take the best performing person in our group and let them battle." "Good idea Grace ." "Harry?" "Ya" "Try not to flirt with the girls ok." "Wow." And they went to their groups. "Ok guys." Whispered Grace "We know Hermione will be picked so I will watch her while she practices and you will work hard. I took the duel with me and Harry to get the girls thinks they're better so they get brash. I think it worked so practice hard and look at my duel for an example. Now," she said in a louder voice. "We are going to be in different groups for spells. Neville what spell do you want to work on in your group." "Stupefy." "Ok anyone who wants to do that spell goes by Neville and start. Ron what spell?" "Review right?" "Ya." "Ok I think we should do sectumsempra on the dummy even though we can't use it here." "Ok his group. Anyone else can do any spell they want." On Harry's side he was saying "Ok everyone can do the spell they want. I will observe and help." As class went on Grace 's group switch spells and so did Harry's then it was time for the duel. "Harry who do you pick?" "Hermione" "I pick Ron." "You know I can't beat her." "Yes I know you can't beat her you but I'm confident you can. Just do what we practiced right after you bow wait five seconds if she gives you a spell finite Incantartien it then start without hesitating." "Ok I'm ready." "Go get 'em Ron." The boys yelled. "Come on Hermione." The girls yelled. "Bow." Said Harry. "Start." "Expelliamus." Yelled Hermione. "Finite Incantartien….Expelliamus…. Stupefy!"said Ron. Hermione fell to the floor and Ron came close to her and helped her up. "Ron... you, you." Said Hermione stuttering. "Good job Ron I told you, you could do it!" said Grace . "Grace come here." "Yes Harry?" She walked over to him "How'd you do it?" "Do what?" "NO one beats Hermione at dueling how did Ron manage?" "I told him what to do in a battle if it were real he took it smoothly and managed on his own." "Wow." "And look I did something good for him when I helped him all the boys are now worshiping him." "You did good Grace ." "Naturally." "Grace come here." Yelled Neville. "Coming!" "Your one good teacher you know that." "Harry I've had lots of battles with Voldemort in my life I'm experienced." "Grace !" "Ok" as she went over Harry gave her a smile than walked over to Hermione. "Did she jinx him or something?" "Nope just told him good advice. Didn't cheat or do anything wrong." "Wow that's amazing no one beats Hermione." Said Cho Chang. "Well someone has." Said Harry.
