Dumbledore's Army was currently gathered in the room of requirement. The only difference from their usual meetings was that instead of mats and practice dummies, there desks and chairs.

"Okay guys." Harry started wheeling over a large chalkboard and accepted a rock Hermione transfigured into a piece of chalk "Today instead of dueling there are some things we have to go over."

The majority of the group groaned in boredom, the remainder having either zoned out or been asleep on the desks. "Come on guys this is important. Now, first we are going to go over how to identify a death eater." Harry said this while turning his back to the others in order to write the first subject of discussion on the board.

"Okay, now who can tell me one way to identify a death eater?" Harry asked as if he himself were actually a professor which made about half of the room roll their eyes while they others either feigned interest or actually tried to answer the question.

"Yes, Cho?"

Cho Chang smiled as she said, "they wear masks."

"Okay good, but what kind of masks?" Harry countered

Nobody knew how to answer this though several of them had seen them before abut couldn't describe it, a lot of others simply didn't know.

"I thought this would be the case so Hermione Ron and I used Dumbledore's pensive to go back to our memories of seeing them and then transfigured plain plastic masks Hermione had her parents send into them.

Hermione bent over and pulled the masks out of her bag and passed them around the room. "If you see someone wearing these masks be very cautious and get back up as soon as possible but do not under any circumstances cause a panic. Okay what is the other most obvious way to identify a death eater?"

Nobody raised their hand this time so Hermione answered. "All death eaters have a dark mark tattoo on their left forearm. This is used both to summon Voldemort" most of the room flinched at the use of his name "and for him to summon them."

The room, which had become silent at the use of the dark lords name, had become very attentive to the lecture. At least it had for about ten minutes, which was more than any of them, had expected. After those ten minutes people started getting bored again and wanted to get this things over with. This had by far been the most boring meeting they had ever been at.

They had covered a couple of more topics when they came to one that intrigued them. "Alright, so what do you do if you send Umbridge a howler?" Harry asked still with his serious expression. He was met with blank stares. "Uh, what?" asked Ernie Macmillion.

Harry wrote the new topic on the board and turned to wait for a response. Her was just met by more stares. Finally Lee Jordan raised his hand with a smirk on his face. Harry nodded at him to talk. "After the howler turns to ash you jump on top of the table and bow for your adoring fans who are now cracking up at the absolutely shocked face of Umbridge."

Harry looked at him with a thoughtful look on his face trying to decide if the older boy would actually do that. In the end he decided that he, along wit several others in the room, would do exactly that.

"No. If you send Umbridge a howler you deny all involvement. She can't prove that I or anyone else was involved in the howler she'll be receiving tomorrow morning at breakfast. Remember that and don't put your name in the Howler and you're good. This is a major point I have to make and I am going to put it in the DA letter too. Oh and make sure to disguise your voice."

With that the meeting ended and everyone left to get on with their lives and write Howlers to Umbridge
