Chapter 6

The First DA Meeting

"What?"

"The prophecy, I want you to research where the prophecy is."

"But wasn't the prophecy destroyed last year?" She asked.

"You know as well as I know that wasn't the real prophecy. That was just a copy. I want you to find where the real prophecy is.

"How do I do that?" Hermione asked.

"First, I think you need to interview Professor Trelawney."
"Why?"

"Incase she heard the prophecy. She hears things like that more than we do." Dumbledore said. (A/N Dumbledore is just acting like he doesn't know. He thinks that Harry should be the one to tell Hermione not him or she could find out for herself.)

"Alright"

"I want a check-in tomorrow to see if you've found anything out. Then we'll figure out the next step." He said. "You can proceed back to class now."

Hermione left the class, wondering. She wanted to know what Harry would think about her job. She knew if she found out anything about it she would have to tell Harry. She knew that would put a lot of pressure on him.

She walked back to class, there wasn't much time left in Defense Against the Dark Arts class anyway. After that she had no class for an hour then detention.

"Ok, see you guys tomorrow." Professor Dulude said. "Malfoy, I'll be around to pick you up for detention, you to Ms. Granger."

"Hermione, what happened?" Harry asked.

"I got detention with Professor Dulude for a week."

"Why?"

"Because I knocked out Lucious. The minister of magic says he wants something to happen to me."

"That's not a fair, he's a death eater."

"Well, Fudge doesn't believe that." She stated. "After our free period I have to go back with Professor Dulude until 4 o clock."

"The DA meeting is at 6. I don't know what to teach though." said Harry.

"Well, I think we should have to meetings, one for new people and one for the originals. That way everyone will be at the same level. It will be easier for you to teach."

"Alright. I need to figure some new spells to teach them though."

"Well, I don't have any homework, let's go now." Hermione said.

They ran to the room of requirements. Harry was confused; he thought it might have taken Hermione a long time to learn new spells to teach him. He was wondering how she learned new spells, since she said she really wasn't taking extra classes of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

When they got there they had to find the door. They entered and the room was still blank. Harry and Hermione walked around the room 3 times thinking of the normal DA setting. They walked through the other door, entering the old DA hide out.

"So what's the great Hermione going to teach us today?"

"Well, I don't know. I think you need to teach them a spell that blocks. There is this one I know. Repeat after me Trisama Reflecto."

Harry raised his wand and repeated the words Hermione had just said. All of a sudden an invisible shield formed around Harry.

"Ok, now this shield will protect you from any spell or charm. There is nothing strong enough that can break this. Voldemort isn't even strong enough to break this shield. Watch."

Hermione raised the wand and pointed at Harry. She said the words Pertificus Totalus and the spell shot from her wand. It hit the shield and disappeared. There was no damage.

"Now when you don't want to use this shield just say the words Reflecto Oretis." she said.

Harry did as Hermione told. The shield then went away.

"That was cool. How did you figure that one out?"

"Reading" she said quickly. "Now do you want to learn anymore spells today besides that one?"

"Um…No, not today, we've only got ten more minutes before you have to go sit through hours of sit down." Harry said.

They practiced the spell a few more times before they decided Hermione better get to detention before something else happens. Harry walked her to the classroom where her detention was held. He trailed off to the common room hoping to find it empty. Instead he ran into Ron and Ginny. As soon as Ron saw Harry, Ron ran upstairs.

"Hey Ginny" He said sitting down next to her.

"Hey" she said sounding really down.

"What's wrong?" asked Harry.

"My boyfriend broke up with me. Then I have a crush on one of my best friends but he's too blind to see it."

"I know how that feels," Harry said in a low voice.

Not even thinking Ginny leaned in and kissed him. Harry immediately jumped away from her.

"I'm sorry, Ginny; I just don't feel that way about you." He said sincerely.

"But you said…'

"I'm sorry; I didn't mean it like that. I don't have a crush on you. I'm really sorry Ginny."

"It's alright. I guess I shouldn't have let my actions get ahead of mine brain. I have to go." Ginny said. She then ran out of the common room to the girls dormitories.

Harry just sat there, alone like normal. He sat there for what seemed to be hours. All of a sudden Harry heard footsteps. They seemed to be coming from the girl's stairs. He thought it was Ginny, but it wasn't.

"O, hey Eliza"

"Hey" she said. "I was wondering what was going on down here, Ginny just ran upstairs looking like she was going to cry."

"Shit… Err… That was me. She kissed me and I told her I didn't like her. She kissed me because I said I had a crush on my best friend. She thought I was talking about her, but I wasn't, I was talking about Hermione."

"O, you got a crush on Hermione."

"Yeah, I do. I've never told anyone before. Please don't tell anyone. Can we just keep this a secret?"

"Sure, you can trust me." Eliza said.

"My head is really full; I'm going to go lie down until supper. See you at the DA meeting." Harry said.

"Alright"

Harry climbed up the stairs, slowly. He was just thinking. Then he remembered, Ron.

'O well, I have to face him sometime' thought Harry.

He finally made it to the top step. He walked in and noticed Ron and Nevile talking. He walked right past them not wanting a confrontation with Ron. Harry walked straight over to his bed and laid down. He wasn't even there for five minutes when Ron came over." So how are you doing with Hermione?" Ron said in a snotty voice.

"Bloody hell Ron, what has gotten into you? You know there is nothing going on with me and Hermione." Harry said.

"Well you were both sleeping in the same room this morning?"

"Screw you Ron," said Harry getting good and angry. "Leave me alone, I'm having a rough day, just get out of here."

Ron wasn't going to budge. Nevile noticed this and decided to drag Ron away from Harry.

"Ron can you come over here for a second"

Ron left Harry, mad. Harry was glad he left, he didn't know how long he could have held his temper, and he definitely did not want to end up hitting Ron.

Harry soon fell asleep. He slept through most of supper. Hermione was getting anxious, knowing it was getting late, and there was a half an hour before the DA meeting. She decided to send Nevile up to wake him. Soon thereafter the three of them headed off to the room of requirements a little early. They all walked around the room, once again, making the DA setting appear.

"I think I'm just going to do a quick review for the people from last year and just learn one new and easy spell for the new people. Its going to be a quick meeting." said Harry. "Do you think Ron will come?"

"I don't know" answered Hermione.

"Well lately he doesn't even want to be in the same room as me." Harry commented.

'Knock, Knock.'

"Come in" Harry said. The door then creaked open slowly.

"Ron, what are you doing here, especially so early?" Hermione said.

"Well last time I checked I have just as much right to be here as you do, I did help you guys set this place up last year."

"Whatever."

"Ron, can I talk to you alone?" Hermione asked.

They moved away from Harry and Nevile.

"What?" said Ron in a rude way.

"You need to cut the shit seriously."

"Yeah, become friends with him again, not in a million years."

"What are you guys fighting over?"

"I'm sure HE told you."

"Yeah, he did and I think you guys are fighting over nothing. I just think you wanted to start a fight.'

With that last line Hermione left. She couldn't believe that her best friends were fighting over nothing. She felt like she was the only one who could stop this fight and make everything right.

In a short period of time the room was full. Harry looked at the time and decided he should start.

"Hello everyone, this is the first DA meeting of the year. Here you guys will learn how to defend yourselves, especially against the Voldemort. So let's get started.

First I want you guys to split up, originals on the right, everyone else on the left.

You guys who were here last year, Today I just want it to be a review for you, well start the new stuff next meeting.

New people I've decided to start you out with a new spell, Expelliarmus." Harry said.

This spell hit Ryan's wand. His wand went flying out of his hand.

"Now everyone, pair up in partners. If you need me I will be walking around the room."

Everyone practiced and practice. When the meeting was almost over Harry decided to make his closing statements and let everyone leave.

"Alright now from here on out we are going to have two meetings. All of the new students will meet on Monday, while everyone from last year meets on Friday. Goodnight."
