A/N: Hello, me again! ^_^ I like this chapter, it's pretty funny. (I really hate those Carrows) but a little spoiler that next chapter, something is going to happen that is going to make Draco pretty upset. Any guesses? Well, enjoy! Please R&R! Love and lightning bolts, again! (Sorry if me overusing this annoys people, I thought I was pretty clever coming up with it)

I stood, shivering in the cold night air. Any sane person might ask why I was outside, at two in the morning, in the middle of November. I was on my first big DA mission.

Our first few small missions had gone well. We had tested out skills by breaking into the Carrow's offices. It was simple really. All we had to do was a simple freezing charm on the burglary system, unlock the door, and we were in. I'm not sure why the Carrows had such simple defense on their offices; perhaps they thought the fear they inspired in students would suffice.

As planned, we let all their spiders go. It was quite hilarious to see Carrow's face when he was planning to show us a curse to make eyes fall out, and there were no spiders to do it on. He was angry, but who could he blame? Next, we had stolen both of their knives as planned. This one really made them made; they cared for their knives more than they did for any student. We had also done more things like steal their plan books, let go any new spiders they got, and mix up things on their desk. This had caused them to triple security in their offices, but it was no real challenge for us. We still got past them with ease.

Longbottom and Weasley, who had been skeptical about me at first, were beginning to have a grudging respect for me. I admit, I felt the same way about them. They were much cleverer than I had previously thought. It was like we were almost friends. Almost. They still weren't one hundred percent positive about me, but I wasn't going to let them down.

Right now, I was crossing the grounds. I had previously been in the owlery, getting the items we had needed that we had stored there, deeming it the safest place. I had a black bag over my back as I silently crossed the grounds, then made my way back into a secret door in the castle we had discovered. I climbed a staircase stealthily, and before I knew it I had reached the door to one of the Carrow's offices. I knocked, two knocks, a pause, then two more, and I saw Ginny's freckled face peering at me through a crack in the door. She ushered me in quickly, happy to see that I had the bag.

I glanced around at the damage that had been inflicted so far. Papers were strewn all about the floor. The desk was overturned, the contents of it, including ink, quills, spellotape, and snacks, were scattered everywhere. Pictures on the walls were broken on the floor.

I couldn't help but grin at what they had silently accomplished. I took out the bag and tossed everyone a can of magical, non removable, spray paint. Everyone set to work right away. When we had finished, the walls were covered in messages written in bright colors. Dumbledore's Army, Still Recruiting! I Love Harry Potter! You Suck!!

We were all silently shaking with laughter when we left the room, making sure to lock it once we were gone, moving on to the other Carrow's office.

The next morning, I woke feeling tired but excited. I couldn't wait to see the looks on the Carrows' faces when they saw their offices.

When I entered the Great Hall, I could see I wasn't going to be disappointed. Alecto Carrow was talking to Snape at the staff table, her round face growing redder and redder, her finger jabbing him in the chest. The doors opened with a bang as Amycus came striding up, glaring at the kids eating, who quickly looked away. He saw Snape already with Alecto and came and joined her. Soon, they were shouting. Snape's obsidian eyes were glistening with anger as he urged them to quiet down. Soon, they had left the hall, for Snape's office, I suppose. I could just barely keep back my smile as I ate my breakfast, then headed off for class.

I was in such a good mood that not even Defense ruined it, although Carrow was pretty nasty, lashing out at students and deducting heavy points. We actually did do something. We got them back for everything they've been doing to the students. I barely even paid attention, happy thoughts like these racing through my mind.

By the end of the day, the news of the ransacked offices had somehow reached the whole school. Students everywhere were grinning and whispering in tight knit groups, no doubt recounting the tales to their friends. It made me glad that I had let Luna talk me into joining. It was definitely worth it.

After dinner, I went up to the common room, quickly finished my homework, then went up to my dormitory. I wanted to do something special for Luna, and as I wracked my brains I came up with the perfect idea.

At midnight, I made my way toward the suit of armor, happy that I was the first one there, as I had planned to be. When Luna came up, light and graceful on her feet as always, I felt that familiar sensation of my heart stopping. She came up and threw her arms around me, pulling me into a hug. When she release me I pulled my surprised out from behind my back.

I had made her a bouquet of roses, and had used some magic to make them sparkly silver. Her eyes went wide as she saw them. "Oh, Draco, you shouldn't have," she said, taking them. "Of course I should have," I said, leaning down to kiss her. I took her hand, leading her toward the room. I didn't really feel like patrolling tonight.
