Chapter nine

Dumbledore's Army reawakened

"Harry James Potter!"

That's how Harry started the day.

"I cannot believe you'd do such an irresponsible thing! You only just got back together with my daughter!" Molly Weasley shouted.

"Mum, we didn't do anything!" Ginny retorted.

"Busted." Fawkes smirked.

"Shut up."

I don't care! Why did you feel the need to snuggle up with Harry less then a day after you get back together?"

"Because I love him and he loves me!"

Silence.

"Oh, well that fixes everything." Mrs. Weasley said sarcastically.

"Mrs. Weasley-"He was interrupted by Hermione.

"Harry, Ron, Ginny, we need to-oh" She surveyed Harry in his boxers and Ginny in a sweatshirt.

"What's going on?" of course she already knew.

"Harry and Ginny were found in bed together."

"I see." She raised an eyebrow to Harry. He groaned. He knew that look; she was going to have fun with this.

"So what, exactly were they doing?"

"That I would like to know." Ron growled.

"We were just sleeping, I swear." Harry explained for the seventh time.

"Well that's enough for me." Ron said, getting up from his bed. "Harry's would never lie under his word."

"But-"

"Mrs. Weasley, if you don't mind, I need to talk to Ron, Harry and Ginny." Hermione interjected.

"Fine." Then Molly left.

"What did you want to tell us?" Harry asked curiously. She was pale and shaking. "Hermione, are you ok?"

"No." she reached for the book of Ravenclaw and flipped through it. "Here it is." She mumbled.

"What happened?" Ron asked.

"Last night I had a sort of vision. "She nodded at Harry. "Just like Harry used to have. Lord Voldemort found a way to be immortal."

Silence.

Crickets chirping.

Tumbleweed flies by.

"You're joking, right?" Harry asked, doubtful.

"No. He drunk something, said a spell, and went into a pool of blood. He emerged and his eyes glowed red. I had a thought that it was in this book, look."

They took it from her and read,

Immortality:

Though this should not be used in any way the process takes two months, as the potion part needs to be brewed in the light of two full moon periods. Note: the bellow will give the drinker immortality for a price. The drinker will be cursed with his or hers most vulnerable weakness.

It then listed the ingredients and instructions.

"It looks like he needs to do one more thing. He needs a soul." Harry said, skimming the text.

"What?" Ron and Hermione asked.

"He needs a soul that will give up itself and merge with Voldemort."

"So he'll be part Ghost?"

"Looks like it." Harry replied, "That means he needs to get to a place where he can get a soul." He looked at them.

"The Department of Mysteries." They all said.

"Um, there's more." Hermione said tentatively.

"What?"

"I think he might ask Grindewald, A.K.A Adolf Hitler."

"You mean that muggle crackpot who was focused on exterminating millions? That was Grindelwald?" Ron asked.

"Well, yeah." Harry said.

"We need to get there."

"It's only noon, they'll probably come at night."

"We'll need more people though." Hermione said thoughtfully.

"The D.A." Harry murmured.

"Harry, no!"

"That's what we trained them for. Whether you like it or not, we need them."

"Fine." Where are we going to meet them?" She asked.

"Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes." He fished out his fake galleon and set the date, time (Twelve-thirty), and place (WWW).

"Let's go." He said, grabbing his wand.

Neville Longbottom was sitting in the garden tending to his own private herb garden. He suddenly felt heat emanating from his pocket where he kept the D.A. fake galleon.

"No." he murmured. He took it out and read the inscribing. "Today, thirty minutes at Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes."

He jumped up, ran into the house, and grabbed his wand.

"Gran, I'm going out." He apparated into Diagon Alley and made his way to the twin's shop.

Meanwhile, Dean was in the middle of snogging Parvati when it happened. He reached into his back pocket and broke off from her and read the numbers.

"Shit! We need to go!"

Seamus Finnegan was in the middle of taking a shower when something flew into the bathroom and hit him on the head. He picked it up and saw it was the Dumbledore's Army galleon. Upon reading it his eyes bulged.

"Aw, bloody hell."

He got out of the shower and ran to his room.

Katie Bell and Lee Jordan were having a peaceful Date when their galleons flew toward them.

"Not possible." She whispered.

"Apparently not." Lee commented. The looked at their coins.

"Let's go."

Dobby was cleaning the kitchen when Kreacher hobbled over.

"My master summons you."

Dobby nodded and was gone with a snap of his fingers.

Harry stood in the center of the shop as people filled in.

"That's the last one, Harry." George shouted over the noise.

"Your attention." The room fell silent.

"I have called you here today because I need you. Before I begin, I must warn you; anyone who is not willing to endanger your homes, family, and your families should go."

Several people left.

"Any of those who will not follow my orders and pledge their lives to the protection of the school and wizarding world should leave."

Only one person left. Of the twenty three members, only eighteen remained.

"Good." He said. "What you are about to hear will not leave this room." They all nodded. "Voldemort has figured out how to become immortal."

The room exploded with chaos.

"Quiet!" the room once again fell silent. "Thank you. He will complete his task tonight unless we stop him. The twins have supplied us with some modified quidditch armor. Meet back here at nine."

Ah I leave you with a cliff of sorts again. I hope you people enjoyed it. Please read and review!
