Chapter 12

Realization & Planning Pt I

Her heart beat as she realized what it was. Her knees felt like jelly and her head spun. So she simply sat down and underlined something. She picked up and old edition of The Daily Prophet and stared it. How could it be possible? Not again. She did not need it once more in her life. Can I ever have a normal year at Hogwarts? But- but I still don't know what. What is it? Hermione was slipping and what she did not realize was she was going to fall down. Which she did.

"Hermione!" Draco whispered and caught her. "Are you okay?"

"I've been better"

"Sit down and have a drink of water" Draco handed her a glass of water. Hermione sipped the water and spoke:

"I know it Draco! The-"

"Hermione! Why didn't you tell me that there is a muggle departmental store nearby?" Ginny squealed dragging some boxes and bags. She stopped and collapsed on the couch only to jump a second later seeing Hermione.

"H- Hermione?" She stuttered. Daphne Ron and Harry came, exactly five seconds after that.

"I suggest you all sit down and ask me no questions" Hermione said noticing Harry opening his mouth, concern etched on his face.

"Okay. Please don't disturb me, I am going to read something and I hope you connect the dots" Hermione said and begun reading "I have cracked it. While I was in the kitchen, it occurred to me that the first number could denote the number of word and the second number after the ':' is the number of alphabet in that word. So I did it and I got the answer. But to confirm my suspicions, I saw the old edition of 'The Daily Prophet'. My suspicions were confirmed."

"What does it mean?" Harry asked.

"Search me" Ron replied. But it was Daphne who answered quietly.

"There had been a breakout of Azkaban. It wasn't seen since You- Sorry! Voldemort's regime. Now that Hermione has said," she paused and looked at Ginny. The redhead nodded and continued where Daphne had left

"The word is Easter. Oh, and I worked it out on a paper now, look there not there yes! This means that," Ginny paused. Harry, Ron and Draco hissed. Hermione continued, ignoring the hiss.

"Something concerning the Death Eaters will happen on Easter"

Silence can be comfortable or uncomfortable. It can be needed, it can be not needed. Needed and uncomfortable described he silence that intruded the jolly company.

Harry stood up and took out a galloen.

"Let's welcome back Dumbledore's Army"

"Yes" Draco nodded. Daphne smiled and scooted to Ron.

"Okay" Hermione said "Here it goes. Harry, pass them the galloen. Members, please say yes when your name is called,

Everybody there?"

Around 30 people replied. Hermione beamed and sat down, letting Harry take the lead.

"Welcome back Dumbledore's Army" said he "We all are here because meeting will now be resumed. The reason is quite simple yet sad. Sadly, I admit that we have to fight Death eaters yet again"

Silence invaded.

"Bloody silence" Hermione swore under her breath. Draco rose an eyebrow and smirked. He leaned down and gently whispered in Hermione ear

"Bad Hermione. I never knew you could swear. Must wash your mouth with soap"

"Ah hem" Harry cleared his throat. Hermione blushed and Draco merely gazed at Harry who was grinning

"As I was saying, we have to fight Death Eaters. I know that you all don't need training any more but I would like to have some more people joining. Any ideas on who would join?"

Draco looked up and opened his mouth to speak.

A.N.: I know this was a very short chapter but I split it up, it was originally big. The next chapter also maybe small. So please bear with me. Important A.N in next chapter. Reviews make my day!

Answer to reviews also in next chapter, to make up the shortness.

Also, something new

Next chapter
