Chapter 10 crossing the line in the Sand

Monday night Jack was sitting down, reading his book when the worst teacher in Hogwarts, Umbridge, walked into the common room. She hung up a poster on the notice board, and called out in a loud voice. "Attention students, I have posted a new decree from the Minister of Magic," she called. "It will both keep you safe and help you learn better."

With that, she walked out of the common room. Hermione who was reading next to Jack got up and walked over to the poster. When she came back Harry and Ron had just walked into the common room. "It says that all sports, clubs, and study groups are suspended unless approved by Umbridge."

"Do you think she knows about what happened in the Hog's Head?" asked Ron quietly.

Jack just rolled his eyes. "No, she doesn't know and if she did know she'd be taking our wands right now."

Hermione nodded. "At any rate, if anyone had decided to tell about the group, the spell I placed on the parchment would let us know."

Before Ron or Harry could reply, Jack stood up. "If Umbridge wants a war, we might as well make it a good war." Jack said with an evil smile coving his face.

"What do you mean?" asked Ron.

"She started the war because she was afraid that Dumbledore and the students would form an army," said Jack. "It's time for that army to form." All his friends nodded in agreement. In his mind Jack thought one thing. "My old team and I have saved the human race so many times, I can't even count them all, and if she thinks that she can beat me and my new team, she's quite wrong."

It didn't take long for the first meeting of the defense group, and Harry luckily had found a suitable room from a house elf named Dobby. It was a room called the Room of Requirement, and it was filled with books about defending people from spells. Personally, Jack liked his P-90 and Zat gun. At that first meeting they got about 45 people split from almost all the houses, no one from Slytherin were present. They decided to call themselves, "Dumbledore's Army," and Harry was declared the leader. Over all, things went well for their first training session. Jack just smiled to himself and thought, "Umbridge, you should be afraid very, very afraid."

So Sorry for the very, very short chapter but I wanted to have the DA form and please do not tell me that this chapter is short, I already know that. The next chapter will be longer and the second sword will be found. Since this Chapter is so short I plan to update in a day or two. Now a clip from the next chapter called Into the Pit.

"Well, I have my own ways of getting the door to open." Jack reached into his vest and pulled out some of C4.
