Chapter 11-Reform Of D.A.

Disclaimer: Do Not Owe HP!

me: Well, I'm really into this story now.

Harry: We know you are.

Ron: Stop the chitchat and get onto the story, will yea?

me: Jeez Ron. Fine, here it is...

Harry shifted nervously as he entered Dumbledore's chambers after the visit from Hogsmead as it was getting dark and he knew that he'll be in trouble if he was caught by one of the teachers. But he had no other choice but to go and visit Dumbledore as he was about to leave early tomorrow for a meeting that takes far from Hogwarts.

"Harry, what a pleasant surprise," Dumbledore said as he saw Harry enter his chambers. "I was going to come tomorrow sir, but I heard you were going out off town," he said as Albus nodded, "yes. A meeting with the Ministry of Magic. Is there something you wanted to tell me?" He asked as Harry nodded.

"Well, I was just speaking with Ron and Hermione, they wanted to reform the D.A. again since this is our last year here and our new professor in Defense Against The Dark Arts is really teaching us the basics but not the advanced," Harry said. "You do realize if that I agree to this, you need a teacher with you all times?"

"But sir, there is nobody here except me who knows Defense Against The Dark Arts better then anyone," Harry replied as Albus smiled. "Severus Snape," he said as Harry blinked, "but I thought he was only good at potions?" He asked as Albus shook his head. "He wanted to teach that class but I said no. He wanted to prove to your father that he was good at something," Albus said.

"But sir, Professor Snape is going to ruin it for us. We just want it to be fun and taught by ourselves," Harry said slowly, "in due time Harry, Severus will not ruin it for you," Albus said with a grin. Harry ignored the grin that was plastered on Dumbledore's face, "Harry, Severus also needs help with the Patronus charm, does he not?"

Harry didn't say anything as Albus nodded, "he could teach everyone some tricks as you help him with the Patronus after everyone leaves. I'm sure he wants to do it alone with you since he is afraid of his reputation," he said. "When should I tell him?" Harry asked as Albus smiled, "I'll tell him tonight. You better go before someone see's that your out late again," Albus said as Harry nodded and left quickly to go back to the Gryffindor common room.

He saw that Hermione and Ron were wide awake still as he entered the common room as well as Neville and Seamus. "Well?" Seamus asked anxiously as Harry smiled and everyone cheered, "but there is one small detail," he said nervously as everyone stopped and looked at him.

"There's no 'but's' Harry! We got permission!" Ron said excitedly, "I know. But Professor Snape is going to be monitoring us," Harry said as everyone looked at one another. "What? He can't do that!" Neville said frightened, "Professor Snape is one of the best teachers who can do Defense Against The Dark Arts," Harry began.

"But Harry, are you sure that's wise? I mean, the others might disapprove of Professor Snape. Is he really that good?" Hermione asked as Harry shrugged, "I trust Professor Dumbledore. He doesn't make mistakes."

The next day, the group of friends were waiting outside the entrance of Hogsmead as they were all going to meet there and then go into the hiding ground where they first went for the D.A. meeting two-years about. "This is insane!" Luna said even though she was good at potions, she still hated Professor Snape.

"Although I agree with Harry, Luna. We need a better teacher. No offense Harry," Nyoko said as she was the newest part of the group after hearing it from her sister, Cho. "But with Snape around, I'm sure he'll teach us better moves then we know from before," Ginny said as Nyoko nodded, "Harry, you have to teach me the moves that you learned when my sister was here. I don't know them."

"Alright Nyoko. When I have the time," Harry said quietly as Nyoko nodded. "I still don't trust Snape," Michael said slowly as Harry shook his head, "you just don't see the other side of him," he said as Michael stared at him and before he could say anything, Severus strolled in as he looked at the group.

"Albus told me the situation just last night. Follow me to your hideout," Severus said as he eyed Harry one moment before he turned and led the group to the hideout. "I'm not so sure about this," Ernie murmured as he walked behind the others, they followed Snape into the hideout before Harry begun to speak.

"Alright. Raise your hands here whoever is new here," Harry said as he looked around and at least five people were new including Nyoko. Harry nodded, "what are you thinking Harry?" Hermione asked. "I think I'll work with the five people on the basics that we taught them years ago and Professor Snape can work with all of you," Harry suggested as he looked at Severus.

"That's fine with me," Severus said slowly as everyone looked at one another, Harry gathered the five people around him. "Now for us all we are going to learn for today is Expelliarmus," Harry said as everyone around him groaned, "but that is just a basic skill! Why do we need it?" A boy asked.

"It saved my life when I was battling you-know-who," Harry said as everyone looked at one another, "alright. Partner up," he said as he looked at everyone and Nyoko didn't have a partner so Harry decided to be her partner instead. "Wands out," Harry said, "on the count of three. One...two...three..."

Part of the room was filled with Expelliarmus as part of the group either knocked each other's wands out or didn't. Harry on the other hand, was looking at Severus side of the room. He blinked in amazement, Severus was letting everyone do Stupefy or Ennervate. That was a high level even though some of the kids weren't even in their seventh years yet.

"Expelliarmus!" Nyoko said as Harry's wand came out from his hand and onto the ground as Nyoko smiled, "Nyoko, why don't you do it with these two boys here? I have to speak with Professor Snape," Harry said as Nyoko nodded in understanding as she begun to practice with the other two while Harry was sort of furious for Snape teaching the younger kids those spells.
