Hello again! Thanks for any reviews and I still own nothing...*sobs*


The door to the Room of Requirement opened again. Lily stepped in, followed by Hugo, Roxanne and the other first years. The ghosts were waiting for them.

"Whoa." She breathed. They had gathered everyone that they trusted to join the DA II. This consisted of the Gryffindor first years, the Weasley-Potter clan, Lorcan Scamander, Scorpius Malfoy (He was friends with Albus and Rose), Jet's brother Jasper and a random assortment of other first years.

Lily stood at the front of the group.

"Okay." She drew a shaky breath. "I know that you're all wondering why we are here. That will be explained in due course. For now, I will tell you what we know." The group of people looked a little worried about this. "Basically, Voldemort had another Horcrux and may be coming back."

This, of course, caused uproar amongst the group. Lily tried to regain control, but they were all talking to their friends and everything. Hugo came to stand next to her. He glared at Roxanne, who nudged the people she was next to, telling them to shut up. The message was passed around. A hand shot up. It was Lucy.

"Yes, Lucy?"

"What is the Horcrux? As in, what object is it?"

"I'm glad you asked that." Lily cracked a smile. "It's a cat."

Albus looked up, confused. "How did a cat live that long? It's been twenty-one years since the battle..."

Lily bit her lip. "Actually, it's been alive since our dad was one."

"WHAT?" James shoved his way forwards. "Okay Lily, you've lost it. How the hell can a cat live for thirty-odd years?" Albus and Rose were nodding in agreement. Chatter ascended again, only this time, before Hugo could glare, everyone shut up, looking at the patch of air behind Lily and Hugo.

"She's telling the truth." Said Fred firmly. "So you should probably shut up."

"Uncle Fred?" A voice squeaked from the back of the room. Everyone swivelled to see Fred II staring at him, jaw dropped. Fred I looked equally stunned.

"You look like George." Was the first thing that came out of his mouth. Fred II opened his mouth to reply, but Colin cut in.

"Guys? We need to get on. We need to teach the first years how to disarm and stun within three weeks."

"Why?"

Colin looked at them, deadly serious. "We only have until May. After that, all hope of slowing him down is lost."


There were random yells of "Expelliarmus!" or "Stupefy!" The first years had a little more trouble, since they could barely do "Wingardium Leviosa!"

Albus and Rose were stunning each other, taking it in turns to fall on the cushions laid out.

James, Fred II and Louis were all disarming each other...and Scorpius behind his back, until they got a magical clip round the ear from Molly. She and her sister were attempting to disarm each other.

The first years had a good attempt. Finally, just as they were about to give up, Logan managed to make Aaron's wand fly across the room. Seconds later, Olivia had banished Roxanne's to behind the wardrobe. Timothy and Jet were paired up, as were the twins. That left Lily and Hugo.

"STUPEFY!" She yelled. He attempted to dodge it, but the spell caught Hugo's arm. He fell backwards onto cushions, paralyzed. Lily went over to him, then realised she didn't know the counter-curse.

"Um, Olivia?" The girl looked over, just in time to get hit in the chest by a stray spell from Jet. Roxanne, her partner rolled her eyes.

"Nice going Jet." She walked over to Olivia. "Ennervate." Olivia sat up, looking bewildered. Lily looked down at Hugo. She pointed her wand at him and repeated the word. He coughed and looked up.

"What took so long?"

"I didn't know the counter-curse..." She admitted.

"What is it?" He asked.

"Ennervate. Why?"

A couple of seconds later, she was frozen on the ground.

"That is why." He laughed. "Ennervate." Lily rose and attacked with as many jinx's as she could. He only just fended them off.

There was a sudden bang from the other side of the room. They both spun round as James and Fred emerged sheepishly from a cloud of fog.

"Sorry. Accident. Carry on." James waved his hand dismissively.

Everyone else rolled their eyes and shot spells at each other once again.


Finally, as the final couple of people left, Fred turned to Lavender and Colin.

"Well? They seem promising." Lavender nodded, but Colin looked troubled.

"They do, but don't you think they seem a little...too promising?"

The other two looked at him.

"Are you feeling alright?" Lavender asked kindly. Colin fidgeted slightly. His image flickered, like it always did when he was nervous.

"I'm fine. It's just...I don't know. One or two of them seemed a little...I don't know, it was like I could sense something different about them..."

Fred frowned. "Now that you mention it, I thought I saw a glimpse of a darker aura..." Lavender shook her head, confused.

"So, Colin sensed something different about their emotions and Fred saw a dark aura. What does that mean?"

"I don't know." Fred turned to look out of the window. "But they need to be prepared."
