12/7/18-12/24/18

Harry was looking at a letter he got from a few DA members. It was the middle of July and he got his OWL grades earlier this morning but hasn't seen them yet.

"OK, let's see what we got." he said opening the envelope.

Transfiguration- Exceeds Expectations

Potions- Exceeds Expectations

History of Magic- Dreadful

Charms- Exceeds Expectations

DADA- Outstanding

Divination- Poor

Care of Magical Creatures- Exceeds Expectations

Herbology- Exceeds Expectations

Astronomy- Acceptable.

"Not bad in my opinion." he said shrugging. He then heard a knock on his door. He looked up and smiled.

"What's up? Did you need something?" he asked.

"No, I was just wondering if I could see your OWLS." said Sirius with Remus nodding.

"Go nuts." he said.

While they looked at his grades they weren't surprised at what he got at DADA.

"That's actually not bad. My best was always history. And I hate it!" he said.

"Who doesn't? I swear Dumbledore needs to get a new Professor." Harry said shaking his head.

"You can say that again." Remus said.

"Hey, maybe you should take care of it Sirius. And Remus get back to DADA. You're my favorite Professor with that." he said.

"Honestly, I was pretty close to saying that." Sirius said. "Binns falls asleep the entire class!"

"Same here." Harry said nodding.

"I wonder who's going to be Defense this year?" Remus said.

Harry shrugged. "I'll tell you this, I'm tempted to get my team back this year."

"So do it, ask Dumbledore if you can get your team back." Remus said. He sighed.

"I've been getting a lot of owls from them asking me to do this year."

"Why don't you get some of your team mates. When they come here we can decide what to do. Sound good?" Sirius said.

He nodded. "Alright. Let's get Ron, Hermione, Neville, Ginny and Luna."

They were under the Fidelius charm now so he tried not to owl that much. They had Dumbledore as their secret keeper.

"Now let's hope Hermione's with Ron."

So he headed over to the flew networks and waited for an answer hopefully.

"Harry?" Ron said.

"Hi, is Hermione with you?" he asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"Because I wanna talk to you, Ginny, Hermione, Neville and Luna about something." "Are you saying our team might be back this year?" he asked excited.

"Maybe. I talked to Sirius about it and told me to talk about it with you guys." he answered.

"Alright see you in a few minutes."

"OK." Then he did the same thing with Luna and Neville.

A few minutes later they were sitting in the living room with a snack.

"OK guys, you all want our team back this year right?"

Everyone nodded and smiled.

"Remus got me some books for an early birthday present."

Since Voldemort was back Dumbledore had said it would be safer for Harry if he took the trace off him. So he went to the Minister and after what happened a few months ago he agreed with him.

Remus and Sirius had been training him a bit over the summer. Dumbledore has been coming over to help also. Except full moons, that's when he takes a break. It's a full moon in a week so he was going easy with it. Sirius was an auror before he was in Azkaban so that helped a lot.

"OK, so Dumbledore talked the minister into taking off my trace because a war is coming." Everyone nodded.

"Remus, Sirius and Dumbledore have been training me a bit all summer to." he said. "And Sirius was an auror before what happened. So he's been teaching me what he can. I got my aperation license last week to."

Everyone was surprised Harry had his license.

"So, do you want me to try and get you like the three of them are doing me at school? We can tell Dumbledore about it. He found out last year, so he probably will let us keep doing it."

Everyone agreed with his idea. A few minutes later they heard something coming from the fireplace. It was Dumbledore coming to check on them.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

"They had been trying to talk Harry into getting their group back this year." Remus said.

"Ahh, I see. So, are we coming back?" he asked smiling.

"If it's alright with you." Harry said.

"Well, it's fine with me. Still going to the Room of Requirements I'm guessing?"

Harry nodded.

"Yup, that's the idea. You still have your coins?"

"I do." Ron said.

"Same here." Hermione said.

"All set here." said Ginny.

"I keep it with me." Luna said smiling.

"I got it in my nightstand." Neville said.

"Alright, looks like we're good to go."

"What are they?" Sirius asked.

"It was Hermione's idea. She made coins that would vibrate and tell them the next meeting. She came up with it from the Dark Mark actually." Harry said while she turned bright red.

"That's a really good idea." Remus said. Sirius nodded.

"Who's teaching DADA this year?" Neville asked.

"Professor Snape. The old potions master, Professor Slughorn-"

"SLUGHORN IS BACK?!" Sirius and Remus asked loudly.

Harry winced for a second from the noise. Then they grind sheepishly saying sorry.

Dumbledore chuckled.

"Yes he's back. If I remember correctly, you're mother Lily was his favorite student. Am I right?"

"Ohhh yeah. He loved her." Sirius and Remus laughed a little.

"I think Snape was his second favorite."

"Alright, let's split up. You can't tell anyone where we are. Got it?" he said glaring at everyone. Sirius, Remus and Dumbledore shivered for a second.

"What?"

"Evans' glare." Sirius said. "She glared at us a lot while we were at school and Dumbledore when we were done."

A few minutes later everyone was heading home and excited to see what Harry's teaching this year. He had them owl the other members for him.
