Chapter 5: DA's First Meeting.
Sitting in the room brought back so many memories. I remember how nervous Harry was, when he first started teaching us. He could barely speak without stuttering. The DA contains some of my best memories just because Harry taught it. Even then, when i was dating Michael i couldn't get him out of my head. All these thoughts swirled in my head. Will my heart ever stop hurting every time I hear his name? Do I even want it to stop hurting? I just wish he were here, even if we weren't together. I wonder what he'd think about us trying to restart the DA. Would he approve? Wait who cares about that? I just miss him. His smile, oh I loved how he smiled that crooked but bright one, especially when we were together. I don't think he truly frowned when we were together, that is until Dumbledore's funeral. His eyes, those emerald orbs full of mystery-.
"Ginny look," Neville said interrupting my thoughts. I'm glad he did, why do I keep doing this to myself? Harry's fighting his war, now it's my turn to fight mine. The door of the room of requirement slowly opened. A person walked into the room, clutching a coin.
"Ah Michael I see you got our message." Luna said breaking the silence.
"Er- yeah," He answered placing his hand on the back of his neck.
"You can take a seat," I said ignoring his odd stare. Soon the door opened again and in walked four new people. All were wearing Gryffindor colors except one.
"I should have known you three would be behind this," Lavender said with a shake of her head.
"Seamus?" I asked as he walked in behind Lavender and Parvati.
"I hope you don't mind, but we figured Seamus should be a part of this even though he was never one of us," Lavender shrugged.
Finally after waiting about 20 minutes everyone we had expected to come was sitting before us. I nudged Neville, who had turned pale.
"Um- well- er it's nice to see all of you again," Neville Stammered. Come on Neville you can do this, I urged.
"Why are we here?" An annoying voice questioned. Of course it was Zacharias Smith. Neville turned red.
"No one asked you to come." A voice called out to him. It sounded like it came from Terry Boot.
"The DA was created 2 years ago as you all know. With the Carrows running the place we need all the help we can get." Neville interrupted with some confidence, "The Carrows are really dangerous and it's only a matter of time before a full battle breaks out. I don't know about you but I plan to take part in it" Neville finished.
"Well what does that have to do with us? We are safe... for the meantime." Smith answered, causing me to snort.
"If you call us safe, than you are more of a git than I thought." I said annoyed, "You're safe if you have no opinion and until they decide that you aren't worth teaching." I finished.
"How would you know?" Smith argued back, "That's the problem with you Gryffindor's, you always jump to conclusions" Immediately Seamus, Lavender and Parvati jumped up, looking ready to kill. Luckily Padma, Michael and Anthony noticed and held them back.
"That's the problem with us. We need to group up and work together. Us Gryffindor's tend to have strong opinions and fight for what we believe in. Can you say the same for yourself?" Neville asked loudly, "Look if you don't want to be here then please leave, but not before signing this letter of confidentiality. We are a family or at least were once one. We brought you here because we figured you all know the DA and loved it the way we did." He said proudly. Smith sunk back into his chair, his face red from embarassment. "Thank you, now Ginny you continue." I smiled at his sudden confidence, but now felt mine depleting. Come on i can do this!
"The Carrows are trying to force us to cooperate. They are training their future death eaters and won't hesitate to hurt any one of us. Even if it means using the Cruciatus on someone during their detention for practice." I said, everyone tensed, "We need to fight back, or at least train to fight back. Harry isn't here to train us, our parents can't help us, we are on our own." I finished.
"Well where is Harry?" Ernie Macmillian asked.
"I don't know, but the Harry I know didn't abandon us. It is important not to believe everything the prophet says. Harry cares too much about all of us and would even give his life for us." That's for sure, I thought, "So any doubts you have with Harry need to get squashed when you enter this room. The Carrows will prey on any doubts we have and will use them against us." I said. "Well the choice is up to you. We are here to teach each other more defense spells and attack spells. Also we want to train with more healing spells because with those brutal detentions, we will need it."
"Wait" Zacharias said only to be glared at by almost everyone, "What makes you qualified to be our leaders?"
"That's a good question." I answered shocking him. "would anyone else like the responsibility" I asked as everyone stayed quiet. I thought so.
"Didn't you three take part in the battle at the ministry against those death eaters?" Michael asked.
"Well yeah-" I answered only to be cut off.
"And Ginny is pretty good with her spells. She throws a mean reducto curse. Not to mention that amazing bat bogey hex she placed on Zacharias last year" Ernie said. I couldn't help but smile at that memory.
"Fine, but what about Lovegood and Longbottom?" He asked.
"Look they were with me at the ministry and from what I remember Luna is the only one who came out unhurt. Neville and Luna also fought on the Astronomy tower! They have proven themselves already." I defended.
"Wait," Luna said finally speaking, "We shouldn't have to argue about this. Whoever thinks we are unfit raise your hands." Only a few people raised their hands. "What about the rest of you? Would you like us to be your leaders?" A lot of hands went up, making us smile.
"Good, now that that's taken care of. Lets talk about recruitement."
(A/N- sorry for the long scene, but I figured there would be some trouble seeing as how Neville is known for being bad with a wand, Luna is known for being weird, and Ginny Is known as the youngest Weasley.)

"That went well." Luna said as she rolled up the DA list.
"As well as it could I guess." Neville shrugged. My head was wrapped around Harry right now. I wonder what he was doing right now.
"Ginny" Neville called out breaking me from my trance.
"Huh- oh sorry Neville. What is it?" I asked.
"Nothing, just thanks for defending us." He said with a small smile.
"No problem" i stated before walking away from him. I needed to gather my thoughts. Harry seemed to be on my mind all day.

The days went by since the first DA meeting. More postings on the walls were evident, but this time they said different messages that related to each house.
"I have a message for Miss Ginny Weasley. Headmaster Snape would like to see her in his office." A small boy said hesitantly. I was in transfiguration when he interrupted.
"Okay, Miss Weasley you are excused." Professor McGonagall said a bit annoyed. She gave me a look that clearly said "behave yourself". I couldn't help but smile at her, she always did have this grandmother type of aura.
Slowly we walked through the castle until we stopped in front of a statue of a Gargoyle.
"I have Miss Weasley here to see Headmaster Snape," The boy said clearly. Instantly the Gargoyle moved to the side showing off the staircase. "Well, go follow" the boy urged.
The office looked the same as it did during my first year. The only difference was it was much darker than I remember.
"Ah Miss Weasley, sit down." Snape snarled. I wanted to tell him I'd rather stand, but his facial expression worried me. I sat down and looked around the room. Next to his desk a large sword on the wall caught my attention. That's the same sword Harry saved me with in the chamber. Why is it on the wall? I remember Harry, Hermione and Ron talking about this very sword. What is they need it?
"Miss Weasley, are you paying attention?" Snape practically yelled.
"Uh yes" I replied
"You are a bad liar." He accused, "I have heard rumors of a gang of teenagers who plan to rebel against my order. Being a Gryffindor I am sure you have heard of this DA." He said with a smirk. How could he accuse me of being a bad liar? I got away with everything back home.
"Of course I have heard of it. But I am not sure what this has to do with me" I replied causing him to snarl.
"I have good reason to believe it is you who have started it again of course not by yourself."
"I don't know what you are talking about. " I replied instantly with a pretty good convincing voice.
"I could make the truth come out, but instead I will like to send you with a warning to your precious DA. If you are caught, you will regret it. Now leave!" He snarled. That was weird, he obviously knows I am one of the leaders, so why didn't he send me right to detention. Oh well, I can't stay focused on that, I need to focus on the sword. Harry may need it.
~HP~HP~HP~
"Neville, Luna I think I have my first plan of rebellion." I told them, "I'm going to break into Snape's office and I will steal the sword of Gryffindor."
A/N- There you have it. What do you think? Too long? Did it drag on? The next chapter will be up in a few days, as you may guess it will be on the stealing of the sword and the detention. Any ideas for later chapters? Well thanks for reading and for the reviews.
