Chapter 6: The First Meeting

Hermione spent all next Breakfast telling the D.A members when the first meeting was on, which would be later on at 8.00. Harry looked down at his plate and felt sick. He couldn't get the Army out of his head. There was no possible way that they could withstand this Army, let alone defeat it.

"Unless... I could get to Voldemort first, and then maybe his Army will become useless." Harry thought to himself.

"Hi babe," Hermione whispered. Harry looked up with a smile on his face. She sat down and kissed him on the cheek. He turned red as he always did, and gave her a hug. Ron was looking jealous.

"What's up Ron?" Harry asked.

"Well, it's just everyone has a girlfriend apart from me," Ron mumbled," I have my eye on someone, she's really nice, but I'm not her type."

"I know who it is," Harry said in a sing song voice," It's Hermione!" Hermione lightly punched him on the arm and thought about it.

"I know, it's Lavender!" Hermione cried. Ron turned the brightest shade of red anyone could get. Luckily for Ron, the bell went so Hermione had to depart for Muggle Studies while Harry and Ron had Divination.

RON'S P.O.V

"Come on, let's get the back seats," I heard Harry mutter. I nodded in agreement and followed him slowly. As I spotted Lavender my heart skipped a beat. I so badly wanted her, but I knew I didn't have a hope in hell. She was so preety and cool. And I'm just a tall, red haired idiot.

NORMAL

"Earth to Ron," Harry whispered. I looked across at him.

"What?" I whispered back.

"I can't help but notice that you keep staring at Lavender," Harry said,"If you like her that much, ask her out."

"I can't Harry," Ron said,"You know me, I get too shy to do stuff like that."

"I will then," Harry said,"Lavender-" Harry had stopped arubtly when Ron pounced forward and tried to shut Harry up.

"Yes Harry?" Lavander asked.

"Ummm... don't worry, just gonna ask if you had a spare quill, but I found mine," Harry said.

"Oh..Ok then," She said, then turned to Parvati. They burst out giggling.

"I hate it when girls do that," Ron muttered. Harry nodded.

"Boys, I hope you are doing your work," Trelawney shouted.

"We are Professor," Harry shouted back.

"Good good," She said and turned back to her Crystal Ball thing.

"This is gonna be a long day," Ron sighed.

When the trio left for the D.A meeting they were already half asleep. They got to the Room Of Requirement, and started to get ready. Harry could tell how improtant this was by the way the Room had arranged itself. Instead of the casual look that it had last time, it looked more serious this year. A knock on the door signalled the first people. Ginny, Luna, and the Weasley twins came in. Each said hi, and took a seat. Twenty minutes, all the members were present.

"Well um... thank you for coming, I am going to teach you to defend yourselves. Firstly, we're gonna practice the Pantronus Charm," Harry said.

He walked over to a chest and oppened it. A hooded figure rose from the box. Harry knew that it wasn't real, but it still scared him. looking up at a picture of Lord Voldemort would scare him.

Lavender screamed, Ron was immediately there to comfort her. Harry and Hermione exchanged grins.

"Lavender, calm down. It's just a Boggart, Lord Voldemort isn't here.You go first, think of a happy thourght and say, 'Expecto Pantronum'.

"Ok. EXPECTO PANTRONUM!" Lavender shouted. The Boggart tripped over his cloak. After each person had a go, it was time for them to leave.

"I hope you have still got the Galleons," Harry said. There was a murmer of agreement.

"Good, I'll contact you for the next date," Harry continued. Everyone was filing out.

"Oi, Pantronus Potter!" A cruel voice sneered.

"Malfoy, how is your Dad, out of Azkaban?" Harry said, and continued on.

"I'LL GET YOU!" Malfoy shouted.

"Not before I get you!" Harry shouted back. They walked off laughing.

"Metamorphisis," Hermione whispered as they reached the portrait.

"Night," Harry said as he kissed Hermione. They climbed the stairs and got into bed.

"All in all, it's been a pretty good day," Harry whispered.

"Yup," Ron agreed.

"Oh is it really?" A voice said from the darkness.
