Halloween seem to be the one of the most festive of times at Hogwarts it was always as highly decorated as days like Christmas or the end of the year feast. But more importantly Hogwarts always seem to be some big event like say the first student taught (though Professor Snape had to supervise) dueling club meeting planned on such a day. Hermione was seen bouncing with delight as she told her fellow DA members that they would be continuing their lessons. While Henry (who was always with her at the time) would just pale more and more as they go down the list students. Until finally the day they've been waiting/ dreading had arrived.

Hermione, Harry, and Neville were the first three to arrive and they were increasingly surprised to find that they're large hall had been completely made over. Gone were the excise space and dark detectors and in they're place were massive trenches, broken pillars and two flags standing on each side of the room. In the center of the room in between two rather deep trenches and surrounded by his fellow Slytherins including one Severus Snape was Henry, they're new teacher who just seem to have a somewhat dark aura surrounding him as he watched the other members of the DA enter the room. When Henry was sure every one was there he gave his house a small court nod before they fell into ranks among the others. They already knew what would happen if any of them did anything to disrupt Henry speech, he had already told them with great detail.

Henry stared at each of them before he reached behind his back and pulled out a small handgun. "This ladies and gentle is called a Desert Eagle. I have personally loaded it with rounds of my own design that will do more than just blow a 1ft hole right through each of you. Now I know that at least a few of you came here thinking

'hey my friends are going so its got to be fun' well I going to tell you this right now if this club is in the least bit fun then I'm not doing my job right. Because I'm not here so you can have fun, I'm here to make sure that all of you are as affective as this gun here and if your not then I'm just going to keeping pushing until your better than this weapon. I've already been told about the whole big dividing gap you people have on your magic. And quite frankly I don't get a flying fuck if something's light or dark if it's going to keep you alive your going to learn it no question ask no arguments no passing go and collecting your precious two hundred dollars. Because in here I'm no longer your fellow student I'm you Kaiser, your King, your Emperor, your Daddy, your Uncle, and the only person you will be taking orders from inside this room unless I tell you to. So I advise anybody that's planning to waste my time to leave right now because once you join this club quitting is not an option I am more than willing to drag each and every one of you here without a second thought".

No one left, no one made a sound, a smile slowly began grow on Henry's face well that is until the idiot know as Michael Corner decided to say what everyone else in the DA was thinking.

"And what makes you think we'd be willing to take lesson from a Slytherin an American one at that?"

"You mean besides my good looks and charming personality (Everyone laughed at the joke not realizing he was being completely serious), I maybe just be the stronger person in this room right and that includes Professor Snape as I constantly –"

"I told you before I had to sneeze and it threw off my aim"

"You weren't even casting a spell when you sneezed! Anyways before I was so rudely interrupted, I know war just about better than anyone. I've defended monarchies, I helped take over entire countries.I have seen more death in one month than most of you will ever see in your perfect little lives and yes I'm sorry to admit that most of them were friends, close dear friends that I'll most likely never replace or will even want to. But if you ever think that you can do better then be my guest cause as you all know I didn't even want any of you being here it was just suppose to be me, Draco, Pansy, and Hermione. But the snake inside of the lioness decided to show itself and blackmail me into this".

At this point the dark aura around Henry had completely disappeared and was instead replaced by the ominous glowing green eyes of a killer. "Alright let's get this over with, each week we will be having too sessions and no I don't care about quidditch practice so if any of you miss a session I advise you to go ask one of you friends to help you review because I sure as hell won't. DA you take red flag and Slytherins you take blue, your objective is to steal your opponent flag and get it to your camp. Welcome to the white rose alliance everyone, the four layer of hell awaits".

The class went fairly smoothly way better than Henry had hoped apparently his speech had knocked some sense into his fellow club members and the fact that his father had told everyone that even the smallest amount of complaining would earn them a week's detention of Henry's choosing may have helped him a little (ok a lot). At the end of the meeting Henry watched as all the other students left the room leaving just him and Hermione, who seem to be eyeing him in a way that he had only seen the first time they had met: curiosity, sadness, and something he wasn't quite sure of.

"Why didn't you tell me?" she asked before pulling him into a hug.

"Because I thought you would get mad at me for bringing it" Henry said trying his best to play dumb.

"I was talking about your friends and you know it!" she snapped. Obviously Henry's withholding information from her was starting to get to Hermione.

"Because I stood there as a child and watched as my friends died and now I am a man and I realize that they are in me" Henry answered in a sage like manner.

"Where did you steal that from?" she laughed.

"I am insulted that you would even insinuate such a thing" he said in mock disgust that turned into laugh. "License plate" was his only answer.

"God your incorrigible" she said with a laugh.
