Chapter 7
Reviving the Army
GPOV
The next class past to slowly for my liking, but Dark Arts seemed to drag on forever. This time I made sure to get there early so I didn't have to sit with him again. I sat with Neville and talked idly with the boy I had grown to be friends with.
He was a year older than me, but he was one of my better friends at this school. I could feel Draco's eyes boring holes into my back, 2 rows behind me. He was sitting with Pansy Parkinson. A Slytherin girl in the same year. Some people found her attractive, but personally I thought she was pug-faced and pudgy.
Gryffindor especially hated this class because one of the Carrows taught it. Most of the time the Carrows would find any reason to give one of us detention. They weren't a traditional detention. From what I heard they took turns using the Cruciatus curse on the students, and sometimes made them perform it on their friends.
The Slytherins rarely ever got detention, mostly because half of them, or their family served Lord Voldemort.
The class dragged as we were taught how to properly preform the Cruciatus Curse, the Imperius Curse, and the Killing Curse. I was an awful class, and I decided that I would try my hardest to skip it, but then I would no doubt get a detention.
When The class finally ended I packed up slowly hoping that the person I was trying to avoid would be long gone by the time I finished. To my luck when I left the classroom, the blonde boy was nowhere to be seen.
I went quickly to the Great Hall for lunch, avoiding other students as I shuffled by. I sat with Dean Thomas, Seamus Finnigan, and Neville. Deam and Seamus were also a year older than me, and had been placed into Gryffindor along with Harry and Ron in their first year here at Hogwarts.
I ate more this time than I did at breakfast for I was quite hungry, and I needed to put on a show that I was okay. Partly because my friends were starting to get worried, and also because I could see Draco watching me with questioning eyes. Why was he all of a sudden so interested in my well being? He never showed any compassion before. Not for anyone, especially not for the likes of 'a blood traitor Weasley like me' , thats what he said to me last year. Why was this year so different?
I didn't much like the new Draco Malfoy, he was to nosey, and really quite annoying.
I stopped thinking about the blonde headed boy only a table away and let my mind drift back to the conversation I was having with the boys that did sincerly care, not the one that was pretending to. Damn, why does he keep poping up in my head?
They were talking in a hushed tone about restarting Dumbldores Army. It had slowly crumbled after the old hag from the Ministry, Dolores Umbridge had found the Room of Requirments.
"How would we manage with 4 Death eaters patrolling the school?" Seamus said in a whisper.
"4? Theres only 3." Neville questioned.
"Do you reckon that Malfoy joined the ranks with all the power You-Know-Who is gaining?" Dean added.
There the blonde boy was again, poping up everywhere.
"I wouldn't doubt it, but theres only one way to tell, would anyone be able to get a look at his wrist?" Seamus was pushing this.
"I bet I could. He's been paying more than enough attention today me all day today, and I have no idea why, no reason I couldn't milk it for our benefit." I added finally, wanting to help.
"It wont be easy, if he is a Death Eater I can bet he wont be wanting it advertise all over everything." Dean joined in again looking around to make sure no one was listening.
"We need to get Luna back in on this to."
"We can only trust a few people. You don't know what could possible be going on in some families with everything all out of wack. Gryffindors for sure, Hufflepuff, well You-Know-Who would most likely never associate with a Hufflepuff, and few Ravenclaws, I think we keep it with the same people Harry had before, the people we know we can trust. The people Harry could trust." I flinched abit as Dean mentioned Harry's name, it still brought shot of pain when I heard it, though it had been weeks since he last hit me.
"Whisper, whisper, whisper. What are these Gryffindors ploting."
We looked up quickly and into the eyes of the Carrow's.
"I think that will a be detention for all 4 of you, we will see you tonight at 8:30 after dinner."
We watched the Carrows retreating backs, and turned to face eachother.
"Oh, no." Neville said shaking his head.
"I heard they are going to use the Cruciatus curse on all the students in detention." Seamus said, his voice cracking alittle.
"We can't let them break us. As long as were strong and loyal, they wont break us." I said finishing my food, and letting my eyes wander around the now emptier Great Hall.
"We better get going, class will be starting soon." Neville said getting up and stepping over the bench.
We all followed suit, and walked out of the Great Hall together, little fear, for what we decided to accomplish would hopefully help save us all when it came down to the end.

I watched the Weasley girl all lunch hour talking with those 3 idiot friends of Potters'. What could they really be talking about in such a hushed tone.
If it was some big secret I was sure Snape or the Carrows would find out about it soon enough, and the would get into loads of trouble.
The boy beside Ginny said something and looked around the room quickly.
So it was some big secret then.
More whispering and I saw the Carrows get ot of their chairs at the head table. I wanted to throw something at the foolish Gryffindors to warn them, but it was to late.
"Whisper, whisper, whisper." Exclaimed Alecto. "What are these Gryffindors plotting."
Blaise and Pansy's attention now moved to the table one over as did Crabbe and Goyle's. We watched closely as the 4 turned and looked around, finding Alecto and Amycus standing over them, glaring viciously.
"I think that will be a detention for all 4 of you, we will see you tonight at 8:30 after dinner." added Amycus sneering.
When they walked away, my attention turned to my friends, who I had been ignoring most lunch hour.
"There in for it now." Blaise exclaimed. "Detention is supposed to be horrible this year."
"Mind you we'll all be pretty safe." Pansy said in her high pitched nasily voice.
Crabbe and Goyle snickered. They had never been much for coming up with anything clever.
"They asked me to help them with detentions at the beggining of the year." I added looking plainly at my plate of food that was left.
"Did you accept?" Blaise asked. "It would be such an honour I think."
"No, there my classmates, I couldn't do it. Then everyone would no I'm a Death Eater. I'm trying to keep abit of a low profile."
My friends looked at me shocked and I heard the benches behind us creak as the 4 Gryffindors now awaiting a detention later left the Great Hall.
"But I do know that they are gonna be in alot of pain tonight." I sneered trying to keep up my ficade. On the inside I was worried for the little red head that would be facing the Cruciatus curse later tonight. I cringed at the thought of her writhing on the floor in pain. I knew the pain well, and many Hogwarts students would soon come to know it as well.
Okay hoped you liked it been a couple days, but I've been fighting through a writers block. Everytime I would come and sit down open the document and I would completely blank. Tonight abunch just kind of clicked and I got a longish chapter done. Anyway Review pleeaaassseee?
