Chapter 14
"Reunite to Reconcile"
Hermione
I couldn't think of a better way to take down Ben after what I had just heard. I wheeled around and headed for Gryffindor tower. Once there, I pushed my way through a crowd of people and up to the girls dorm stairs, unlocked the door, and went to my trunk. After unlocking that as well, I searched through it ragingly.
"come on, come on, where is it, COME ON!" I said aloud to myself. "HA! Got it!"
As soon as got the coin out of the trunk, it was no turning back...not that I would. It lit itself, and charmed to get attention of the owner, it changed it's date to that days date. I hope this works.' I thought, to myself in my head this time.
After completing that task, I went ahead to the room of requirement and did my three paces. As soon as I opened the door, the familiarity of it all hit me. I was back...we were back.
ten minutes later
I was sitting on one of the pillows waiting to see if my plan was working, and suddenly there was an opening of the door. Loads of people filed in. All the members: Neville, Dean and lavender, Parvati Padma, Luna Lovegood, Katie Bell, Alicia Spinnet, Angelina Johnson, Colin and Dennis, Ernie, Justin, Hannah, Anthony, Michael, Terry, Ginny, Lee all came in...the members of the D.A. were back together at last, to reunite and reconcile what was going to happen when the UAU showed themselves. It was all up to them.
"Alright listen up everybody. We're here, for a purpose. I hoped you all still carried around the coins, and luckily, most of you did. The purpose we have for being here, is because Harry is in trouble. The whole school of Hogwarts is in trouble, and we" she paused to sweep the room with her eyes. "We are the solution."
Ernie shot up his hand. "Solution to what?"
Harry
I was sitting at the very top of the astronomy tower and I was just thinking about everything that happened. 'Why is my life aways fucked up. Why isn't there ever a time with nothing happening, and I can just relax and enjoy it? No, no, that isn't the life meant for "the boy who fucking lived" this sucks.
The sun was getting to a point where it was setting. It looked beautiful. As soon as my thoughts turned to what tomorrow would bring I instantly thought of the play. fuck I hadn't really been paying that much attention. I knew all my lines pretty well, because that's what repition does to you...but it was the thought of having to be right next to Draco and loveing him again on stage in front of the whole school. For me...I don't know if it would be acting...but it hurt what Draco had done.
These were the times when I wished my mum or dad were here, or sirius or even Lupin. But they wouldn't come. None of them, what with most of them being dead. I looked down at the ground far below me and I thought of the time when I saw a movie at the Dursleys, and I remembered it because that was a rare thing. The kid had a friend, who had betrayed him, and his father was there to comfort him.
'You know son. These are the times when people's true personalities show. The times when they're true self is illuminated. You just have to accept that he did you wrong, and try to get past it. It won't be easy, but that's what makes us apart of who we are...learning to get past the struggles. Sometimes, you need the bad, to get to the good, and now, is the bad but up ahead I'm positive there will be some good.'
I clung onto that speech for a while, because it meant that though my times at the Dursleys was bad, there would always be some good, somewhere, later. But now, I didn't see how there would be any good to come out of this situation. So, I just sat there in the cold wind, staring down at the ground far below me.
Draco
How could Harry think I would use someone to get to him? Does he really think me that low? I could have been killed defending him in there, and I would of done it a hundred times over, but somehow he just didn't believe it.
I've been looking everywhere for him, and I even took into consideration that he has his invisibility cloak still with him. But I'd need a miracle to locate that boy, because when he wanted to not be found, he wouldn't be. I needed so desperatly to explain things to him though, to reassure him, to reassure myself. It was all so frustrating. But I was in love, and this is sometimes what love was, so I took a deep breath, cupped my hands to my mouth and called out.
Hermione
I had just gotten done explaining to Ernie exactly what we were going to be doing, and he raised his hand yet again.
"Yes Ernie?"
"So let me get this straight. That new Ben kid, and his school are really part of some organization called the United Army of Umbridge, and are here to take over the school?"
"Yes."
"Which they will initiate after the play is over tomorrow...with a room full of talented wizards witches and teachers?" He asked incredulously.
"I know it may be hard to believe, but I was there, I heard it all with my own ears straight from Ben himself." I replied confidently.
"Right. Well then." Ernie said. "Sorry to be rude or anything but I've got a ton of Transfiguration homework to do. Bye."
I watched, confunded as Ernie turned to leave, and then dissapeared around the corner. There was a moment of silence and then Almost half the members left, either agreeing they had homework, or just leaving without explanation.
"Anyone else?" I asked with a voice of fury. I watched as no one else left, and they all shook they're heads, that they'd be staying. "Alright then. Here's the plan. I'm going to go to Dumbledore tonight, after this meeting is over, and I'll tell him of the situation. That way, he'll have the teachers on gaurd too, but don't forget, he knows about the D.A., and he'll probably want to test out our skill. It'll be the perfect opportunity to show him what we've got. Mind you this is dangerous and not a game, but we can use our knowledge and skill to our advantage. We have the element of suprise as well. So it seems we have the upper hand. Anyway, tomorrow, just before the play is over you'll all converge to the back, near the exits and entrances so that no one may enter or leave. Then a smaller contingency of our people will move to the middle of the room in a circle formation, that way we can keep our eyes in all directions. Wands at the ready we pick out Ben, and whoever else from Durmstrang, and prepare, for anything that may happen. You all know what you're training is, we can do this guys. I have faith in ALL of you." I said looking around, and emphasized that last point after looking at Neville.
Cheers came from all of the people, and I went to go to talk to Dumbledore.
Harry
It got too cold up there, and finally, I unfolded myself from my sitting position and climbed back through the window I used to get to the roof. As I was walking out of the room, and into the hallway, I heard footsteps pounding on the ground toward my direction.
"HARRY!"
I looked around, and as soon as I saw who it was I started bounding in the other direction.
"Impedimenta!" Draco yelled, and Harry was slowed down.
He caught up to me and panted. "What do you want, Draco? I've nothing to say to you."
"But I have something to say to you. How could you believe that guy over me? I didn't get Pansy to do shit. I didn't even know you had an unheard voice. Harry, I love you."
The words finally registered in my head after I heard them. He loved me. But it was too late, all those lines before it, were just cliches.
"Draco, don't play with me. I've had enough for one day."
"Harry, you have to believe me, I never did any of that stuff Ben said I did. Jesus Harry, he hurt you, physically and emotionally, but just because he did, doesn't mean I will."
"Incarcerous!" I yelled, and Draco was tied up in ropes in a matter of seconds. "Don't talk about matter you know nothing of." I replied coldly before ending with an "Mobilicorpus" that sent his body crashing a few times against the wall.
I left after that and went to my dorm rooms, to think about this stupid fucked up day.
Draco
I didn't even try to get out of the incarcerous spell Harry had cast. I knew I could, but it didn't matter now. He didn't believe me. I even told him how much I loved him and yet, here I am, tied up and bruised. I wished then, that Harry would have finished me off. Killed me with the Avada Kedavra curse. That way, I wouldn't be in the emotional pain I'm in now.
I made a silent vow to myself, to try to win Harry back again, because I couldn't lose something like that. Not after experiencing true love, and joy for the first time. With that I waited until someone would show up with enough concern to get me out of the ropes.
A/N: Well, folks, I'm back, and I know this chapter should be longer because I've been gone for more than a week, but I am really really tired. Church camp was ok for the most part, and I survived. So here's the chapter hope you enjoyed it, and thanks for the reviews, they really help keep me motivated to write
hint hint so keep it up and thank you! Love you all.
