Harry woke up and strolled down to the kitchen, where he made himself a cup of tea, and sat chatting with dobby and the three new house-elves that dobby had recruited, whilst they made breakfast for the small army.

Once everyone was at breakfast, harry informed them of the plans for the day. "Firstly breakfast will be at seven every morning but I expect you to be up at half past five so you can fit in a one hour training session, you will then shower and have breakfast. Today me, Hermione, Luna and Ginny will be recruiting whilst Tonks and Moody do a rigorous training session"

Harry sat down and started eating whilst discussing with Ginny the plans.

"First we will send a message to the DA requesting that they meet in the three broomsticks at four o'clock; Once we have sent the message we will speak to the goblins, centaurs and mer-people. That will take up most of the day. Before we meet the DA we will go to the post office and send a letter to Fleur and the Veelas requesting a meeting, then through dobby we can meet the house elves" Ginny said

"It sounds okay to me, good work Ginny" Harry replied giving her and the rest of the girls a kiss.

"Accio DA coin" Hermione called raising her wand, the coin flew into her hand and harry set the time, date and location for the meeting. The girls then called the phoenixes and handed them a load of notes which would also inform the members of the meeting if they didn't still have their coins.

Harry, Hermione, Ginny and Luna all stepped through the fireplace saying "Diagon Alley" where they were spat into the leaky cauldron. They briskly walked into gringotts where harry immediately strode up to the head tellers station " I Lord Potter-Black-Merlin-Le Fay-Gryffindor-Hufflepuff-Ravenclaw-Slytherin request a meeting with Director Ragnok head of the Goblin empire"

The Goblin looked extremely surprised but nodded and marched into Ragnoks office, almost immediately he came back out and said "Director Ragnok will see you"

"Harry, how nice to see you again,what can I do for you?"

"As you are aware the war against voldemort is beginning to affect people more and more now that everyone knows he is back, What you probably don't know is that I am the only one that can defeat him. I am asking you as the leader of the Goblins to ally with me, in return for an improvement in your rights, if you would prefer you can contact me once you have spoken to others"

"Harry, you are a very strange wizard, not just because you have recognised that we are a strong ally in both war, and we are powerful in means that we can limit the financial support that the opposition have access to, but because you show other species a great amount of respect which rarely occurs, it would be my honour to side with a wizard with some power, wealth and uttermost respect, I will have an army of 800 ready for you in ten minutes when you need them, please take this galleon necklace, when you are in need of man-power or assistance then this will alert the troops as to your destination."

"Thank you very much Ragnok, I must ask that you and all of your followers sign this contract, it only says you will not betray me and it is only a precaution"

"Very well Mr Potter"

Harry then left gringotts and met up with the girls who were coming out of a shop. "Great idea making an extra few contracts Hermione" They all port-keyed into Hogwarts grounds and Harry and Hermione made their way into the forbidden forest, whilst Ginny and Luna set off to raid the potions supply of anything that could possibly be dangerous.

Straight away Harry and Hermione were approached by a large herd of centaurs, Roars of disapproval were made when they recognised them as the ones who had bought the toad-lady into their territory. The head of the herd however demanded silence and asked why they had entered their land.

"I Lord Potter-Black-Merlin-Le Fay-Gryffindor-Hufflepuff-Ravenclaw-Slytherin, request a meeting with regards to the upcoming war. Upon hearing the last six names the entire forest seemed to silence, finally the head said "Call me Bane"

"Thank you Bane, please call me Harry"

"Very well, now what do you wish to discuss?" Bane asked with a swish of his tail.

"The war is steadily getting worse and I believe there will be a battle here at Hogwarts, I am here to request your alliance, with the phoenix warriors, so far we have humans and goblins and we are going to contact the veelas, mer-people and house-elves. If you do not join us we do ask that you remain neutral; voldemort's offers may sound inviting but he hates non humans more than Umbridge.

Umbridge's name caused a huge roar of anger across the herd, once it had quietened down then Harry apologised "I am sorry for mentioning the toad, but I spent all of yesterday punishing her in every possible way"

Bane turned to face the herd "You have heard Lord Potter-Black-Merlin-Le Fay-Gryffindor-Hufflepuff-Ravenclaw-Slytherin's request of aide in the upcoming war, and we will as a herd vote, all in favour of assisting him in return for better rights and larger territory raise your fists"

Every fist rose, and Bane turned towards them and said "we will help you my lord."

"Please may I ask that you and your followers, sign this contract that states you will not betray me"

"We will, my lord"

Harry and Hermione bowed to Bane as he did the same and they briskly walked out of the dark, and forbidden forest.

As they reached the shore of the lake, Ginny and Luna staggered out of the castle levitating thousands of vials whilst carrying large boxes, upon seeing Harry they banished them towards him and he enlarged his trunk and put it all in.

Hermione then transfigured Harry's clothes into a pair of swimming shorts and the girls transfigured their clothes into the skimpiest bikinis possible, they then cast a strong bubble head charm on themselves and swam into to the depths of the lake. Once at the bottom they carefully approached the mermen guards who pointed their spears in their faces.

Harry cast a translation spell at himself and spoke in mermish "We are here, requesting to meet with your ruler, with regards to the war"

"One moment please" was the reply, shock was on his face from hearing the boy speak mermish, he swam through an archway, spoke some words which Harry could not make out and then swam back. "She will see you"

Harry and Hermione swam side by side with ginny and Tonks just in front.

"your mightiness" Ginny began "we are here to speak to you about the future of Hogwarts and the war, we request you assistance in any way in which you can provide it"

The woman looked at her and said "it is nice to meet you Ginevra Weasley, daughter of Molly prewitt and Arthur Weasley. I am the great seeing Aquarius and as the ruler of the lake me and all of my followers will assist you in the war, we can fight from the waters edge both through physical attacks and through our control of the water element, I must go now but please feel free to contact me via this lump of aquonite, it holds a very advanced translation and communication charm on it." Harry and the girls stared in shock as she swam off before they swam to the surface removed the translation, and bubble head charms and apple drying and warming charms as they re transfigured their clothes.

They then rushed to the post office where they sent a fast owl to Fleura requesting a meeting with the veelas. They then walked into the three broom sticks where they moved fifty chairs into a corner and bought fifty butter beers for the members to drink when they arrived.

As Harry was purchasing a second round of drinks for his self and the girls the DA members started walking in. Ten minutes later Harry stood in front of them all and addressed them "The DA will be continuing this year and we hope you all wish to participate still, we will be taking a more active role in the war. Everyone at wishes to continue we need you to sign a contract saying you will not betray me or the group. We have changed the name to the Phoenix warriors as we have found out some rather disturbing information about dumbledore, who refuses to cooperate, we are continuing the group with the permission of the minister and we hope to have an army of over two thousand by the final battle, please sign the contract or leave"

Once everyone had signed the contract Harry continued "once we are at Hogwarts in two days we will be expanding the membership, but before that I would like everyone to be at the station at 9 o'clock which will give us two hours to secure the train, and provide good security, thank you"

The majority of the members left with a few staying for more drinks or to speak to harry about something.

Harry then left to go to Hogwarts, whilst the girls flooed back to headquarters. Once in Hogwarts Harry went down to the kitchens and has Dobby had promised all of the house elves were waiting for him.

What Harry did next he hated but he knew it was a necessary step to take "I Lord Potter-Black-Merlin-Le Fay-Gryffindor-Hufflepuff-Ravenclaw-Slytherin as an heir of the four founders hereby take control over all the house elves of Hogwarts" the elves gasped as their stained pillow cases instead turned into a smart military style uniform. Harry then ordered "I order you to continue working as you have been but any orders Dumbledore attempts to give you must be checked with me, I give you full permission to use any form of magic and, or weaponry to defend Hogwarts" Harry even gasped as he saw every house elf suddenly get taller (3 feet) and have more human looking features. The house elves cheered and Harry left with a huge grin on his face.
