For this chapter I mostly used some of the lines from the movie. I decided to watch it and remembered that I needed it to write this chapter so here it is. Oh and I also realized that the chapters are kind of short so I'm gonna try to write more.

Chapter 9

"So we all know why we're here. We need a proper teacher. Someone who's had experience fighting against the dark arts." Hermione explained.

The meeting had started and I was surprised by the turnout. People actually showed up!

"Why?" some boy with blonde hair asked.

"Why? Because You Know Who's back idiot!" Ron argued.

"Because they say." The annoying blonde boy replied.

"No because Dumbledore says." Hermione jumped in.

"Dumbledore says because they say. The point is where's the proof?"

"Yeah. The Potters could tell us more about how Cedric Diggory died." Another boy I didn't know with brown hair said. Who the hell were these people?

"The thing is we could tell you more about how he died but we don't because it's none of your fucking business." I said trying not to yell.

"We're not going to talk about Cedric so if that's why you're here you can leave now. Come one guys lets go" Harry said. He was annoyed too. I was all ready to leave and then...

"Is it true that you can produce a patronus charm?" I heard a dreamy voice ask that I immediately knew was Luna.

"Yes." Hermione answered the question for us. "I've seen it."

"Blimey. I didn't know you could do that." Dean stated. He was a nice guy.

"They also slayed a Basilisk in second year with the sword in Dumbledore's office." Neville contributed.

"In third year they fought off about 100 dementors at once." said Ron. All these people were supporting us. I felt loved.

"And last year they really did fight off you know who in the flesh." Hermione added.

"Look, it all sounds great when you say it like that but the truth is most of that was just luck. We really didn't know what we were doing half the time and almost always had help." Harry explained to them which I believed was true.

"He's just being modest."

"No Hermione I'm not. Facing this stuff in real life is not like school. You can't just make a mistake and try again tomorrow. Out there when you're seconds away from being murdered or watching a friend being killed in front of you, you all don't know what that's like."

"That's right Harry. We don't know what it's like. That's why we need your help."

"So he's really back?" A kid named Nigel asked. Harry and I just nodded. After a minute of silence George and Fred got up to sign the paper Hermione made to be a member. After Fred signed he smiled at me and gave me a hug. Then everyone else started lining up to sign which I surely didn't expect. I looked over at harry to see that he was surprised too. Hermione had a smug smile on her face that read I told you so. Soon after we left to go back to the castle. We were trying to decide where the meetings would be.

"What about the Shrieking shack?" Ginny suggested.

"No. We need a private place. Somewhere that Umbridge won't find us." I told her

"What if she does find out?"

"Who cares?"

I just stared at Hermione completely bewildered at the words that just came out of her smart mouth.

"What did you say?"

"I mean it's kind of exciting right. We're breaking the rules!"

"Who are you and what have you done with Hermione?" Ron and Harry asked. We all laughed.

"Well one good thing happened today."

"Oh really? What could that be?"

"Cho Chang couldn't take her eyes off of you Harry."

I looked behind me to see Ginny's reaction. Yup she was pissed. Her crush on my brother would probably never go away. But I thought it was cute. They'll get together one day.

….….

After dinner I studied in the Gryffindor common room. The slytherin common room would have brought down my mood and would be distracting. I also did not want to see Pug face Parkinson because I was not in the mood to hear her bitch about random crap. Things had gone well today. The meeting was a success (although some people had been rather annoying). I felt at peace which was hard because of Umbridge's retarded ass and Pansy trying to sabotage my relationship with Draco. Then there were the nightmares of Voldemort and Cedric. A teenage girl shouldn't have to deal with all of this. My thoughts were interrupted when Fred sat down beside me.

"Hey Ally."

"Hey. What's up?"

"You did really good today. I knew that was hard for you and you probably felt like cussing that boy out with all of his dumb opinions. But everything turned out well don't you think?"

I laughed "Yeah it did. And thanks for being the first person to sign up. It means a lot to me."

"No problem. I will always be there for you no matter what. You know that right?"

I looked him in the eyes and saw how serious he was. "Yes I know that."

"Good. So tell me what happened this morning. Why were you in my common room?"

"Your common room? Last time I checked it was open to the public. But anyways I told you I couldn't sleep."

"Being a slytherin does that to you. I bet it's all creepy and dark down there. Have you ever thought about switching to Gryffindor? That way you could see me a lot more often." He smiled while saying this.

"Yes Fred. Because I live to see you so much because you're so brilliant, awesome, and handsome!" I exclaimed sarcastically.

"Aww you think I'm handsome?"

"Bugger off. Go find your partner in crime and do what you normally do. Just stop bothering me."

"Oh please. You know you love my company. But just to make you unhappy, I'll go to my dorm." He got up and gave me a kiss on the cheek. "Don't miss me too much."

"Goodnight Fred."I said. He laughed and went upstairs. I packed up my books and headed to my own room to go to sleep. Talking to Fred had made me even happier than I already was. I hoped that this happiness would stay but good things never stay for long.
