Authors Note: So, I'm surprised as to how fast I've been writing.

HBP countdown: 122

The D.A. seemed to help everyone's ability in defensive magic. They had started small, Expelliarmus, Stupefy, Reducto, etc. and had then moved on to Patronus's.

Amber knew she had been able to produce a Patronus since she was 12, coming up to her 13th birthday. After all, when your brother is a supposed convict, you've got to learn these things. Harry didn't know this and was surprised that when he had them try on their own, Amber was the first to come up with one.

Harry then had Amber help their peers as he walked around the room watching everyone else attempt the charm. Amber looked around the room, looking for someone to help. She and Cho's friend, Marietta, were planning on working on Stunning today as well but Marietta was know where to be found.

"Expecto Patronum!" The first patronus (other than Amber's) finally came out of the tip of Ginny's wand. A horse danced around the room as people watched with an amazed look. Harry smiled at Ginny. There was a certain look on his face that Amber usually saw when he looked at her but brushed it off as nothing.

Soon after Ginny, many others began to see their Patronus and how it reflected them as a person. Amber saw Hermione's Patronus, a silver shining otter, gamboling around her. Smiling to herself, she knew it was for her clear love for Ron, although Hermione would hex her before she could say "Ron" if she heard her say that.

Neville had still been working on Expelliarmus as he could perform it at their last meeting. He was trying to disarm the fake Death Eater that the Room of Requirement had provided for them.

"Here, Neville, I'll help," Amber said smiling as she walked over to him.

"Thanks," He replied.

"Okay, so what you need to do it to tighten your wrist a little more. I think that's why you're flourishing your wand to much."

Tightening his wrist, Neville tried the spell again, this time on Amber. "Expelliarmus!" And Amber's wand flew out of her hand.

"Wonderful, Neville, wonderful!" Amber went over and hugged him as everyone else began to gather around smiling and patting him on the back.

Suddenly, there was a loud explosion at the entrance of the room and everyone stopped. Harry moved to the entrance as well as a younger student, Nigel. Looking through the hole that was now created, Harry saw Umbridge, wand at the ready, and pulled Nigel back. Umbridge had blown open the wall and some Slytherin students (including Draco) were standing with smirks on their faces. Crabbe and Goyle pulled Marietta and Cho from behind the wall so that they were now scene. It then became obvious that they were the ones who snitched on their fellow peers of the D.A.

I know, it was short. sorry. a longer one will be up soon.
