Several day has passed since their meeting. Hermione had talked to a few girls from their house and they happily agreed to help. They were happy to protect their school as well as their own gender.
Hermione still had to talk to Luna. She was waiting outside of the great hall for Luna to leave. Finally Luna walked out. Hermione quickly rushed over to her.
"Hello Hermione." Luna mused. "How are you doing?"
"I'm doing fine Luna." Hermione replied.
"Oh good, so how is the new club working out?"
Hermione looked at Luna is surprise. Luna really doesn't miss a thing did she? "Well Luna we're doing great. That is what I wanted to ask you about. You see Voldemort is planning on breaking through our wards using the blood of the pure or aka Virgins and Ginny, a few of the Slytherins and I are putting a group together to counter Voldemort's plans. I was wondering if you would like to join us?"
"Oh how lovely." Luna hummed. "I would love to join your little group Hermione. It's not every day there is a group that is willing to counter Voldemort."
Hermione beamed. "That's excellent. But I need your vow of silence. Repeat after me. I… say your name… promise to keep the silence and the secrecy of the G.H and will protect each other and the school."
Luna held up her hand. "I Luna Lovegood promise to keep the silence and the secrecy of the G.H and will protect each other and the school." Magic swirled around her. "So Hermione what is the G.H.?"
"Guardians of Hogwarts."
"Hmm what a lovely name." Luna hummed.
"Luna now that you're in the group would you mind asking other girls in your house to join. If they do then have them make the vow I just had you take."
"Oh sure Hermione. Now if you will excuse me I really must get back to my common room I have some charms that I need to work on." Luna skipped away.
Hermione smiled and shook her head. Luna will always be a mystery to her. She turned and headed back to the Gryffindor common room.
"Ah Miss Granger there you are." Hermione turned around and saw the head of her house.
Hermione looked at her confused. "Professor?"
"I was hoping to have a private word with you." Professor McGonagall politely said. But by the tone of her voice Hermione could tell it wasn't a social talk.
She slightly began to panic. Her heart was pounding so quickly that she though it would burst out of her chest. She nervously swallowed. "Yes Professor what is it?" she said trying to sound calm.
Professor McGonagall studied her prized Gryffindor. The poor girl was shaking. "Don't worry Miss Granger you're not in any trouble."
Hermione let out a sigh of relief and she slowly relaxed.
Professor McGonagall gestured for her to follow her. "Walk with me Miss Granger." Hermione followed the head of her house. "Miss Granger I was hoping to ask you a favor."
"what sort of favor professor?"
"I talked to Professor Dumbledore about it and we were planning to have a winter ball this year and Professor Dumbledore and I were wondering if you would like to plan it. I know you are constantly busy with studying and homework but if you could find the time…"
Hermione smiled. This was perfect, this is exactly what she needed. "I would be happy to do it Professor. It's an honor."
Professor clapped her hands together. "Wonderful. Well you may do what you wish for the dance but make sure you make sure with either me or Professor Dumbledore."
Hermione nods. "Of course professor. I was wondering since I have such a busy schedule if I could create a group to help me out a bit."
Professor McGonagall nods. "Of course Miss Granger, whatever you need if it is in reason, we shall get for you."
Hermione smiles, what luck! "Ok since I'm going to make a group is there a room that we could possibly use."
"Of course I shall have one set up for you. I will inform you once it is ready."
"Thank you professor. You have no idea what this means to me."
Professor McGonagall smiles. "I can see it means a great deal to you Miss Granger." Professor McGonagall places her hand on Hermione's shoulder. "It's late you should be returning to your dormitories."
Hermione nods. "Of course Professor." She turns around and runs towards the Gryffindor tower. "Thanks again." She called back.
She couldn't wait to get back to the dormitories to tell Ginny the good news. "Griffin wing" she excitedly said to the fat lady. The portrait swung open and Hermione rushed in. She saw Ginny seating on a couch in the common room, alone. "Ginny! Ginny!"
Ginny jumped up and whirled around in shock. "Oh my god Hermione you scared me half to death. What is it?"
"Professor McGonagall just asked me to plan the winter ball. We can use it to our advantage." Hermione excitedly said.
"Wait What? How?" Ginny said, stunned at the excited Hermione.
Hermione quickly cast a silencing spell around the two. "We could use this for our meetings."
Ginny held her hand up for a pause. "Whoa slow down girl. Start from the beginning."
"Ok so Professor McGonagall approached me and asked me if I would like to work out the plans for the school's first actual winter ball and I agreed. I asked if I could get a group together to help me and she agree. She even agreed to loan us a room to work."
Ginny squealed in delight. "Oh my gods this is the very thing we have been looking for. We have to tell the others. But we can't right now it's late. Oh were idiot we should have made a way of communication. So we don't have to see each other to talk."
Hermione laughed at how excited her friend was. "Already dealt with that. I was thinking of something like the galleons for the DA but for us I was thinking something more on the girl side." She reached into her bag and pulled out a circular pocket makeup mirror. "I was thinking we could use something like this and use the protean charm, give one to each girl. No one would be suspicious if a girl pulled one of these out."
Ginny took the mirror. "Fair point." Ginny turned the mirror over in her hand. "I like the design." It was the symbol of Gryffindor made out of little gems.
Hermione shrugs. "eh I was thinking that each girl could make their own designs that way it would be far less suspicious."
"So… do you want me to help you with them? you did teach me the protean charm last year remember." Ginny explained.
"Oh yeah I would love it if you helped. But not just yet." Hermione nodded her head back at Harry and Ron who just entered the common room.
Ginny quickly shoved the mirror into her pocket.
Harry smiled at them. "Hey Gin, Hey Mione Professor McGonagall just told us the good news. I can't believe she picked you to plan a dance. Doesn't she know how busy you always are?"
"She does that's why I can get a group together to help me."
"How about we help you Mione?" Harry asked.
"No thank you if I got you two to help the dance would totally have a quidditch theme. So absolutely not."
Ron and Harry laughed. "Fine suit yourself."
Hermione planted her hands on her hips. "This dance will be the best one yet it will even be better than the yule ball."
Harry and Ron groaned at the mention of the ball for the tri wizard tournament.
"Yes Mione please do make it better than the yule ball that way I can get that bloody memory out of my head." Ron smiled. "Gah that ball was horrible you and Krum." Ron shivered.
"Ron!" Ginny gasped at her brother's comment.
Hermione's hands were clenched into tight balls. "Damn you Ronald Weasley you always have to turn something good into something bad." She stormed over to Ron and punched him in the gut, hard. He doubled over in pain. "I'm going to bed." She growled and stormed off to the girl dormitories.
Harry helped his best friend over to the couch. He shook his head. "You're never going to learn are you Ron?"
Ron frowned. "Was it something I said?" he managed to groan.
Harry chuckled. "You better watch yourself Ron. As you said in our first year. Hermione is a bit scary sometimes, brilliant, but scary."
Ron groaned. "remind me to never get on her bad side again."
Ginny slapped him in the arm and he gave her an annoyed look. "It severs your right Ron. You two already had that argument with her and Krum. But it's in the past." Ginny got up and headed over to the stairs to the girls dormitories. She turned back and looked at her brother with an angry glare. "Ron I hope you will apologize tomorrow." Her gaze turned to Harry and it softened. "Good night Harry."
"Good night Ginny." Harry called back and he helped his best mate up. He looked back to see Ginny heading up the stairs. She looks like a goddess when she is angry. Harry smiled and he helped Ron up to his bed.
When Ginny got up to the dormitories she found Hermione asleep. She quickly took a shower and changed into a nightgown. She couldn't wait until tomorrow.
