The next day another educational degree was passed saying that no club or team are allowed unless Umbridge said it was ok. Angelina was working on getting permission for the Gryffindor team while Harry was searching for a room for the group to work in. it was rather late at night, Harry and Ginny were curled up on the sofa, Ron and Hermione was working on an essay Ron still haven't done. Suddenly Sirius's face appeared in the fire place.
"Sirius!" Harry exclaimed sliding onto the floor "what are you doing here?"
"Don't worry Harry, this was the safest way I could contact you. How are you four?" Sirius asked looking at Ron, Hermione and Ginny.
"We're fine" Ginny said flatly "now why are you contacting us?"
Sirius rolled his eyes "Harry shall I assume you received Fleur's letter?"
Harry nodded and pulled out a piece of parchment "I shall have a word with you in the common room past midnight" he read out loud
Sirius nodded "lucky for you I got here first otherwise, you'd get one mighty headache, now I don't think this defence group is a bad idea"
"How did you know?" Ron asked
Harry looked angry "I'm being spied on?" he hissed. Before Sirius could answer, he was pushed aside and Fleur was now glaring at Harry.
"'Arry James Potter, you are in danger of course you were being cared for" she snapped
"Fleur I need privacy" Harry whispered
"'Arry you 'ave one weekend off and you start a illegal defence group" Fleur pointed out
"It wasn't illegal at the time"
"Bill has told me about ze hogshead, it has a horrible reputation"
"You're English has improved" Harry noted "have you been spending time with Bill?"
Fleur blushed "none of your business leetle brother. Sirius says continue zis club and Viktor, Tonks, Remus and I agree, however I don't want you to go back to ze hogshead"
Harry sighed "who was following me?" he asked
Before Fleur could answer she was pushed aside and Remus's head appeared.
"Don't worry Harry we weren't watching you and Ginny making out…. Much." Remus said grinning "Mundungus was in the pub keeping an eye on you there while me and Tonks were following round the village."
"Were you and Tonks having fun" Ginny said teasingly
Remus blushed slightly "I cannot say. Be careful you four by the sounds of things you have made some followers but there are still people willing to betray you to Umbitch"
"Umbitch?" Hermione said raising an eyebrow
"Me and the cow have severe issues, she hates all magical creatures" Remus said "she's also the reason why I cannot hold a job down, lucky she believes werewolves can't have children otherwise she would ban us reproducing"
"And you can't bare the idea of not reaching that stage with Tonks" Ginny said smirking
"I believe it's time to go" Remus said loudly and then he disappeared.
A week has passed and Harry had found a place for the defence group to work in. the room of requirement. Everyone sat down together on cushions looking around in amazement.
"Right then" Harry said "welcome….err…. I'm not sure how to start this"
Hermione raised her hand "why not start by coming up with a name, something that no one will notice when we talk outside of this room"
The group murmured in agreement
"I suggest the anti-Umbridge brigade" Ernie said
"Down with Umbitch?" Colin asked
"Against the ministry acts?" Padma suggested
"How about the Defence Association?" Cho asked
"The DA" Hermione mused
"We use the DA but instead of the defence association, how about Dumbledore's Army? After all that's what Fudge fears" Ginny suggested.
"All for Dumbledore's Army say aye" Hermione said
"Aye" everyone said
"against Dumbledore's Army say nay" No one said nay, Hermione smiled and wrote it down on the top of the parchment that the group signed "Dumbledore's Army it is" she said
Harry smiled "right then I think we should start with the disarming spell"
Zachrise snorted "we've learnt that in second year what use is it against you know who and his death eaters."
"It saved my life" Harry whispered "last summer I used it against Voldemort and it saved my life"
"To bad it didn't save Cedric's" Zachrise muttered
"But it might save yours" Harry pointed out, "pair up and begin"
There were shouts of "Expelliarmus" in the room, Harry watched as Neville managed to disarm Terry even though he was aiming for Luna.
Three hours later and they all left before curfew. Harry kept an eye on everyone by looking at the map. Ron, Hermione and Neville left, Neville was looking dazed while Ron and Hermione were arguing over something…again. Ginny wrapped her arms round Harry's waist and rested her head on his shoulder.
"You're a good teacher" Ginny murmured "but I don't like the fact Cho Chang was trying to get your eye"
"Jealous Miss Weasley?" Harry asked
"Do I have a reason to be Mr Potter?"
Harry turned round and caught Ginny in his arms "no reason at all" he whispered against her lips before kissing her.
