Chapter Ten, Dumbledore's Army

"Ew," Ginny squeaked.

"It's not liked I planned this. Fred, yeah not the first person on my list." Hermione explained.

"Can't you just, I don't know, get over him." Ginny asked.

"I've tried... Didn't work too well."

"On the up side. He likes you too."

"No, he... no, he thinks we're just friends. Doesn't he?"

Ginny shook her head. "George said he's mad about you. He can't get him to shut up."

"Really?" Hermione perked up.

"Really,"

...

"She bit you?" George asked. "Like physically bit you?"

"Yeah," Fred showed him.

"Dear god, where did she learn her self defense?"

"I don't know but her parents are dentists."

"I mean all you were trying to do was ask her to the dance, right?"

"Yeah, lets just say that didn't turn out well."

...

Once all the people on the sign up sheet had arrived in the room of requirements Harry began his lesson.

"Now the spell we will be learning today is a simple disarming spell. All of you know it as Expelliarmus." Harry pulled out his wand. "Hermione, will you."

Hermione stood oppiste Harry and took her wand out. "Expelliarums," Harry whipped his arm at her.

Hermione flew back about two feet and landed on her back.

"Harry!" Hermione brushed the dust off of her.

"Sorry, looks like the teacher might need some work too." Harry looked embarresed.

"It's fine, you're just nevous." She patted him on the back. "Now this is what is actaully supossed to happen. Expelliarmus."

Fred's wand whipped out of his hand and she caught it with her open hand.

"See," Hermione winked at him and threw his wand back. "Everyone grab a partner."

No one got the spell that day but luckily no one got too hurt either.

"Ok, see you tomorrow, same time. Keep practicing best you can." Harry told them after an hour.

Professor Umbridge was very curious. She knew something was up with the group of students. She had made another rule that you had to sign out when leaving your common room. Weeks went by and she was still watching them intently. Finally she called in every student that she thought was up to something for questioning. It was mostly people from the DA that got questioned. No one spilt their secret and luckily she didn't use her way of torture to get answers.

More and more time went by until one day, she did use torture. Her way of "punishment". they had to write I must not tell lies. as many times as it sunk in, as in sunk into our skin. It hurt terribly.

Draco and his pack of goons were on Umbridge's side. trying to catch them at every second. Fred and George being the genus' they are out some of their famous puking pastles in Filtch's tea to keep them away for a while.
