Chapter Two: D.A. Returns.

"Hermione, you don't know something for once!" Ron said shocked just a little.

"That's something you don't hear a lot.." Harry added, and looked at Seamus again. "So who's the DADA teacher, Seamus?"

"Professor Lupin is back!" Seamus said happily.

"What!" Harry said jumping out of his seat a little excited.

"Bloody hell!" Ron said.

"Well, at least it's a GOOD DADA teacher we can trust!" Hermion said sternly.

"Yeah!" Harry said with a bit of anger in his voice.

"Lupin's back, at least it's another member of the Order of- of" Ron realized Seamus was still standing near them. "Of that…thing…"

Seamus lifted a brow and looked at Hermione. "I guess I'll see you in class Hermione…Night Ron, Harry.." he waved to them quickly and went to the boys dormitory room, to bed.

"Good Night Seamus" She replied before he left.

After a long moment of silence, and of them just doing homework Harry finally broke it. "I don't think December is soon enough…"

Ron stopped what he was writing, and looked at Hermione first before then turning to look at Harry.

"Well…" She said apparently thinking on how to reply, "Maybe this is a good time to prepare yourself before we go…"

"Honestly Harry, you don't want to just go in a hurry and unprepared! You could easily end up killed by you-know-who!" Ron added.

"I don't care! At least I'd be TRYING! I am not going to just sit around here waiting for another attack to happen! I can't afford to lose anyone else that I care about! Everyone's gone Ron! At least you two have your family! I have no one anymore! Dumbledore was my last closest thing to a family member! And he's GONE!" He sort of yelled angrily.

Ron sat in silence not knowing what to say to reply without making Harry more upset.

"Well, you won't be sitting around here if you train. It's more important to prepare yourself for something like this. Not mope around complaining that it's not soon enough. You need to prepare yourself, Harry. WE, need to prepare ourselves if Ron and I are going along." Hermione said making her point.

"Waiting too long won't stop Voldemort from replacing, or adding to his Horcrux's collection!" He said sighing and looking at the table. "I think we should ask help from a teacher, or something…but then again they'd say no and keep a closer eye on me and make sure I never got out!"

"Of course! You can't just go walking up to a teacher and say 'Hey! I'm going to kill you-know-who! Would you care to join me and maybe end up dead!'" Ron replied.

"Really, Ron!" Hermione said disapprovingly.

Ron ignored her remark and continued. "I mean they'd be keeping such a close eye on you, if you even went into the bathroom Moaning Mertle would probably yell at you and make up some obscene story about you trying to escape!"

"That's because she favors Draco now" Harry muttered.

"Well, that's just how Moaning Mertle is!" Hermione said in an annoyed voice.

"Maybe I could get DA together again, and work on more things….what if Dementors or something get in this school again! They would be the only students to help Hogwarts if the Teachers are in danger, and can't help!" Harry finally said.

"That is actually a pretty good Idea, Neville and Luna would love that!" Ron said looking at Hermione to see what she thought.

"I think it's time to get those coins out again…" Added Harry.

"Right now! It's nearly midnight!" Ron glanced at the clock.

"Who cares! We need to prepare ourselves, just like you and Hermione said! I'm not waiting any longer!"

Ron looked at Hermione again to see how she'd reason with Harry.

"Maybe we should do this in the morning. Get some rest Harry." She finally said.

"If we did it in the morning we'd be caught for sure Hermione! There's no way we could do it during the day! It has to be during the night!" Ron sighed with an expression on his face like he was puzzled.

"I was thinking Ron!" She snapped, "Even if that's the case we still couldn't do it! We have classes during the day! We'll have to do it during the afternoon, or at dinner…OR night. When less people are in the halls."

"I think that's what Ron was basically saying before, Hermione…no need to get on his case…" Harry said quietly.

"Thank you!" Ron said relieved someone agreed with him, and he rubbed his eyes. "Look, I think it is too late to talk about this, we've been doing homework all night! We should just call it a night and discuss it in the girls bathroom or something…" Ron said gathering his things.

"You've been doing homework all night!" Hermione mumbled.

"What if Mertle hears us?" Harry asked.

"Forget about Mertle, Harry." Hermione replied.

"But she could tell, Peeves, who could tell Filch…who would Definitely tell Professor McGonagall!" Harry said, looking at her before adding, "Why not the Room of Requirements?"

"Peeves would seem less likely to do what Mertle wanted anyway." Hermione merely shrugged when saying this.

Ron shrugged and stood up picking up his things. "Whatever suits us best…but I'm going to bed, thanks for the help Hermione you helped out loads! G'night guys!"

"Night Ron." Hermione and Harry both said.

Harry sighed, and began getting his things together. "I think Ron's right we should talk more in the morning, during our break period. We'll go to the Room of Requirements…Stands up

"Fine.." Hermione replied, "Good night." Hermione stayed seated determined to finish homework first before bed.

Morning…

Ron walked into the Common Room, and slumped down on the couch waiting for Hermione and Harry. Hermione walked into the Common Room with books in her arms. "Mornin' Hermione!" Ron yawned.

"Good Morning, Ron." She replied, looking at one of the papers inside one of her many books. "I hear the old Muggle Studies Teacher retired last year….We'll have a new one." She finally said.

"That's just lovely! I liked the one we had! Why do they always change teachers! Especially at a time like this…I mean you'd think people would be leaving instead of staying and coming….because Dumbledore was the power fullest wizard alive next to you-know-who. Now, Dumbleore's gone, and Hogwarts isn't as safe as it usually is…

"Well Professor Gobsworth left because the students, mainly the Slytherins gave him a hard time. He went into early retirement." She replied.

"Of course…" Ron said sighing boredly. "Always leave it up to Slytherins to do somethin' like that!"

Hermione nodded, and Harry came down. "Okay I informed the DA members, well whoever have their coins still…That a meeting will be held tonight at around 11 or 10." Harry sighed and sat down in a chair.

Hermione didn't know what to say, so remained silent. Ron looked at Hermione, then Harry. "Well I'll see you two in DADA class…but I'm going to breakfast I'm hungry!" Ron said getting up and leaving the Common Room.

Hermione sighed. "I'm going to the Library…"

"I'll be in the Room of Requirements trying to get the old DA room up.." Harry replied pulling out his Dad's invisibility cloak. "I need to stop growing!" He said when he put the cloak over him he had to bend over so he was completely covered by the cloak.

Hermione left the Common Room, and Harry went to the Room of Requirements.
