Chapter 4: DA, Now Recruiting.
I awoke in a comfortable bed. Where was i? Last thing I remember is having detention; detention! Oh my god where's Charles! I sat up quickly attempting to get up.
"Whoa slow down Ginny." Neville said, pushing me back into my bed.
"Neville! I need to-"
"Charles is fine" He cut me off.
"Though he might need some extensive amount of therapy and some wrackspurts have gotten into his brain, he will be fine" Luna said. Luna? I didn't even realize she was here. Luna was sitting in a chair close to the wall reading a Quibbler upside down. Charles lay in a bed near mine, he looked so peaceful.
"I don't remember him getting hurt." I said trying my best to remember.
"Oh that's because he didn't" Neville said touching his head nervously. "He um well we had to give him a sleeping draught. He was going crazy, hyperactive that little one is. He was hysterical!" Neville said a bit quickly. I couldn't help but laugh, Neville looked so nervous then again he did just drug a kid.
"Ah there you are, it's good to see you awake. How do you feel?" Madam Pomfrey asked interrupting us. She checked my head. I moved my body and immediately I felt pain.
"I'm so sore" I replied.
"Oh that's normal for Cruciatus patients. Just take these for a few days, and you will be right back to normal. Now you should get dressed and get going before the Carrows find you here" Madam Pomfrey said in a low voice. She handed me a few vials of this red potion. At least she wasn't forcing me to stay overnight. She left the room to give me a chance to change.
"Umm Neville, could you turn around?" I asked. He turned red and complied.
"Ginny did they really use Crucio on you?" Neville asked with a low voice.
"Yes," was all I could say. I didn't want to lie to my two closest friends. I could feel both of their eyes staring at me. I finished putting on my clothing and took a seat on the bed.
"That's ridiculous! Using that on students!" Neville said angrily, still facing the wall. It looked like he was yelling at the wall.
"Umm Neville you could turn around now," I laughed. He blushed again and complied.
"It just makes me feel…like a kid, all helpless"
"Don't say that…and I think there's one thing we can do." I said "I think we should start to rally the troops, because if it's a war they want, then it is a war they'll get." Luna and Neville both brightened up.
"Are you saying what I think you're saying?" Neville asked. Luna looked in a daze, probably deep in thought.
"yes…I think the DA should be restored." I said confidently.
~HP~
"Okay so Luna, we need a way to communicate." I said. Neville, Luna and I were in the library. Of course we were getting odd looks from Madam Pince, seeing as how it was only the first Saturday of the school year and we were in the library.
"Don't we already have the coins?" Neville asked pulling his coin out of his pocket.
"Yes, but we need a better method, maybe upgraded coins. I want it so that us three have coins that could send and receive the messages, while the rest of the DA would have coins that only receive."
"Hmm I can look into that" Luna said. Neville raised his eyebrows.
"Remember how Hermione put a curse on the list that would give away anyone who betrays us?" Neville asked, "I think we should replicate that, but make it almost like an oath that the signer won't tell unless recruiting or until the war is over."
"But what curse did she use?" I asked, nodding at his idea.
"It's actually quite simple," Luna answered with her distant look.
"Okay." Neville said slowly. "Are you sure?" Neville asked. Luna just shrugged and took our coins from us.
"So Luna you look into those, Neville and I will worry about getting word out. I'll start creating lessons." I said excitedly. This was definitely going to be an eventful year.
~HP~
Sunday came and went, and soon it was Monday. Great, muggle studies time, I sighed. Professor Carrow kept saying extremely offensive things about muggles, but I couldn't let her get to me. The DA will be our revenge, so yelling during class was out of the question. I have all year to be given detention, at least let it be worth something more than I disagreed with her words. I stuck with these thoughts the whole class and soon it was over. After muggle studies i had potions and the day was over.
"Thank goodness," I said to Luna. We were walking out of the great hall after having dinner.
"There you two are!" Neville said out of breath.
"Where were you at dinner?" I asked just realizing that i wasn't with him during dinner.
"I found a good place for us to have DA meetings" he said a bit loud.
"SHh!" Luna and I yelled.
"Come on!" he said pulling my hand.
"Neville where are you taking us?" I asked, "Wait isn't this where the room of requirement is?" He nodded, "No Neville, remember 2 years ago?" i said shaking my head.
"Yes but we didn't know how to use it yet, I have been working on this since Saturday. Come on!" He said as a door appeared. We walked into a room that was even better than the first one, "You see the room is very specific. It will give you whatever you wish for, so we can make it so that It is hard to find. We can keep the Carrow's and Snape out!" Neville said excited. "Don't you see? It's perfect!"
"This is brilliant!" I said, finally understanding the information Neville gave us. Luna smiled at us, her usual distant look now gone.
"I think that we should start gathering the old members," Luna said before placing three new coins on a table that randomly appeared in front of her.
~HP~
Later that day…
"You ready for this?" Neville asked me. I nodded at him before walking to the opposite wall. I have been ready to do this. I took out my paint and slowly started writing.
~HP~
"Ginny look at this!" Demelza said the next day, grabbing my hand. There was a rather large crowd hovering in front of a wall. They were talking excitedly about some strange writing on the walls. As we neared the wall I could see bold letters clearly written.
Neville's handwriting isn't too bad, I thought.
"There are two messages," A young boy wearing Hufflepuff colors stated happily.
"I hear the DA is this gang that Harry Potter himself started!" Another said to his friend. I couldn't help but smile at that. I wonder what Hermione must think knowing that she started it and nearly forced Harry to join. Just thinking of that made me want to lay in my bed, no! stop it, You are about to start a rebellion there cannot be any of these thoughts. Neville appeared nearby and smirked at me. Luna was next to him looking lost. Now time for part two I told myself. I put my hand into my pocket and held onto my DA coin.
The message "DA Now Recruiting, you know where at midnight" instantly sent to all the old DA members carrying a coin.
A/N: So there it is. I promise next chapter will start with the DA's first meeting. SO much more to come. All ideas are welcome.
