Hermione POV

I don't know what Harry was doing. Like why on earth would he threaten Percy like that. He had blood oozing out if his neck for Merlin's sake. Blood!

As soon as we were out of ear shot from the demigods we bombarded him with questions. "What the bloody hell was that Harry?" Ron asked. I stopped in first of him and crossed my arms. "Really, you owe us an explanation."

He looked uneasy. "I don't." He said pushing past me and continuing on walking. "I don't owe an explanation to no one."

I looked away from his back and gazed at Ron. Wait, gazed? I mean glanced at Ron. He shrugged and walked in the same direction as Harry went. I shook my head, R- boys!

I was about to start walking away too when someone grabbed my arm form behind me. I spun around to look at the intimidating grey eyes that belonged to the 'daughter of Athena'.

"What's wrong?" I asked confused.

She let go of my arm. "I was going to ask you the same thing." She said earnestly. "Do you have any idea why Harry would attack Percy."

I shook my head. "He stormed off when I asked, saying it was none of my business."

She backed off a little. I could see it in her eyes, she was calculating something and she was thinking hard. The grey of her eyes was like, rotating like pieces of a machine.

"Doesn't Percy know?" I asked.

She shook her head. "No. He's been keeping stuff from me lately. I think it's related." Then she pondered on it for a moment. "If you find anything tell me."

"Back at you." I said. She nodded before going back in the direction she came. Feeling like I was done I picked myself up and headed towards the common room.

~.~.~.~

I was so joyed that so many people wanted to join in on the defence group Harry was going to teach. Me and Ron were of course. The four Americans too, though Harry seemed a little weary as Percy signed the enchanted piece of paper. All through the meeting Harry had been hesitant and would glance at Percy. I knew it had something to do with what happened previously, but I let it pass. Annabeth had seen the same exchange and after the meeting was over we had talked over it.

Two weeks had passed and we still didn't know what had happened, or what ticked Harry off like that. But we were still searching. I liked Annabeth that way, she was like me. Smart and thirsty for knowledge. She hated not knowing and it drew her to be even better at noticing the little things.

Today, Friday was the first ever meeting and I seriously couldn't wait. Dobby had helped Harry into finding the place where it would be attended, the Room of Requirement. The name tells it all. At four after all the classes had ended we would meet there. Well, little groups would get in little at a time.

The Americans were first to get in. They gaped at the room, it had everything, from cushions in the floors to bookshelves on the walls. Annabeth immediately ran to the books and started scanning through them.

"Ey Sparky." Percy called out to Thalia who turned to him. "Wanna spar?" To mean his point he got into a defending stance.

Thalia pondered about it for a moment. What surprised me was that she didn't even answer before attacking her cousin at inhuman speed and landing a punch in his defence.

Nico who was still near the door groaned. "Not again." And he slumped into the nearest chair to watch the spectacle.

More people entered as the two continued to spar. It scared me that they were punching each other and kicking really hard. As the last person filed in, everyone had made a circle to watch the two demigods spar. It was fascinating, and since we never fought like that, it was something new as well.

After what seemed like hours but was probably ten minutes Thalia tackled Percy. It was a blur of motions, which ended up with Percy on top of her. Now let me explain. His knees were pinning her arms down, his body weight was making sure she couldn't move her mid-rift and his elbow was at her throat. His head near hers.

"And you lose." He said. "Yet again."

"Get off of me." She gasped. Was he too heavy on her?

Percy gave her a quizzical look. "You're fat." She said looking at how he was pinning her down.

He pouted at her comment as Nico have a maniacal laugh that sent chills down my back.

Percy was too distracted to notice Thalia rearranging her legs. Once he realised it was too late. Thalia kicked him hard and he was sent flying back and collapsed onto the wall. He groaned and groggily stood up. He patted his back. "Dude, I've lost my iron skin. Please restrain yourself from smashing me onto the wall so often."

She grinned at him. Then she stopped dead and looked at the circle of wizards surrounding her. "Oh." She said. "Didn't realise everyone got here."

~.~.~.~

We regained order. The meeting started.

*(A/N btw I got most of the dialogue from the book peeps) "Well," said Harry, slightly nervously. "This is the place we've found for practices, and you've - er -obviously found it okay -"

"It's fantastic!" said Annabeth, and several people murmured their agreement.

"It's bizarre," said Fred, frowning around at it. "We once hid from Filch in here, remember, George? But it was just a broom cupboard then. . ."

"Hey, Harry, what's this stuff?" asked Dean from the rear of the room, indicating the Sneakoscopes and the Foe-Glass.

"Dark Detectors," said Harry, stepping between the cushions to reach them. "Basically they all show when Dark wizards or enemies are around, but you don't want to rely on them too much, they can be fooled. . ."

He gazed for a moment into the cracked Foe-Glass; shadowy figures were moving around inside it, though none was recognisable. He turned his back on it.

"Well, I've been thinking about the sort of stuff we ought to do first and - er -" He noticed a raised hand. "What, Hermione?"

"I think we ought to elect a leader," I said.

"Harry's leader," said Percy at once, looking at me as though I was mad, and Harry looked at Percy slightly confused.

"Yes, but I think we ought to vote on it properly," I said, unperturbed. "It makes it formal and it gives him authority. So - everyone who thinks Harry ought to be our leader?"

Everybody put up their hands, even Zacharias Smith, though he did it very halfheartedly.

"Er - right, thanks," said Harry, I could see him blushing. "And - what, Hermione?"

"I also think we ought to have a name," I said brightly, my hand still in the air. "It would promote a feeling of team spirit and unity, don't you think?"

"Can we be the Anti-Umbridge League?" said Angelina hopefully.

"Or the Ministry of Magic Are Morons Group?" suggested Fred.

"I was thinking," I said, frowning at Fred, "more of a name that didn't tell everyone what we were up to, so we can refer to it safely outside meetings."

"The Defense Association?" said Annabeth. "The D.A. for short, so nobody knows what we're talking about?"

"Yeah, the D.A.'s good," said Ginny. "Only let's make it stand for Dumbledore's Army because that's the Ministry's worst fear, isn't it?" There was a good deal of appreciative murmuring and laughter at this.

"All in favor of the D.A.?" I said a little bossily, kneeling up on my cushion to count. "That's a majority - motion passed!"

I pinned the piece of paper with all of their names on it on the wall and wrote DUMBLEDORE'S ARMY across the top in large letters.

"Right," said Harry, when I had sat down again, "shall we get practicing then? I was thinking, the first thing we should do is Expelliarmus, you know, the Disarming Charm. I know it's pretty basic but I've found it really useful-"

"Oh please," said Zacharias Smith, rolling his eyes and folding his arms. "I don't think Expelliarmus is exactly going to help us against You-Know-Who, do you?"

"I've used it against him," said Harry quietly. "It saved my life last June."

Smith opened his mouth stupidly. The rest of the room was very quiet.

"But if you think it's beneath you, you can leave," Harry said. Smith did not move. Nor did anybody else, except someone.

"Please leave." Percy whispered. Since it was silent everyone heard and all head snapped to him. He widened his eyes in alarms do then just shrugged it off.

"Okay," Harry said. "I reckon we should all divide into pairs and practice."

It felt odd to hear him issue orders, but even odder to see everyone stand up and split in pairs. I went with Ron. Thalia with Nico and obviously Annabeth with Percy.

Harry saw that Neville was partnerless and paired up with him. * (A/N this is where it ends were I took the dialogue from the book. . .)

All in all, it was a mess. Not for me, no, but for everyone else excluding Ron and Harry. Especially the four Americans. Thalia once got really pissed that she was about to snap her wand in two. She was restrained by her blonde friend not to. The pairs changed after that, Percy went with Nico as Annabeth remained with Thalia to keep her calm. The two boys were going killer-mode on each other, meanwhile the two girls were going more calmly.

I'll say the Americans looked glad to be out of the room. Form what I could see Thalia didn't even change clothes before dropping dead on her bunk. Annabeth changed a little before going to the boys' dormitory to. . .

After that I was too tired to comprehend anything so I drifted off to sleep and enjoyed it.

A/N so Yey. Another chapter is on. Yuppie.
