Chapter 2
"So, did you get it?" Harry asked Ron, when the snores of their room mates filled the dark dormitory.
"Yeah, you?" Ron whispered back.
"Uh huh, d'you think they'll like it?" Harry asked worriedly.
"I dunno mate, let's hope so."
"Night." Harry said, rolling over in bed.
"Night." Ron yawned.
The next morning Ron woke up, saw Harry was not going to regain consciousness any time soon, and made is way down to the common room, where Hermione and Ginny were waiting.
"Where's Harry? He needs to meet the Dursleys in McGonagall's office in quarter of an hour." Hermione asked.
"Good morning to you to. He's sleeping." Ron replied placing a kiss on Hermione's cheek.
"I'll wake him." Ginny said exasperatedly.
When Ginny reached the dormitory she wandered over to Harry's bed and placed a soft kiss on his cheek, Harry murmured,
"Ginny, wassa matter." through his semi-conscious state and she bent closer to him and yelled into his ear,
"WAKE UP YOU LAZY BUTT!" this had the desired effect as Harry tried to jump out of bed, got caught up in his bed sheets and toppled onto the floor at Ginny's feet.
"Blimey Ginny, you had to wake him like that?" Dean Thomas asked from the far bed, as groans issued from the other two beds, which were occupied by Neville Longbottom and Seamus Finnigan.
Ginny ignored them and turned to Harry.
"Get dressed and come downstairs." she commanded.
"'K" Harry yawned as he ran a hand through the messy black hair.
Twenty minutes later Harry tumbled through McGonagall's office door.
"Sorry I'm late Professor, I overslept." he muttered as he took a seat next to the equally tired looking Dudley.
"It's perfectly alright Potter. We are here to talk about what you shall do today with the Dursleys as we have already settled that they are staying until the last day of term."
"Oh." Harry managed to say as he yawned behind his hand.
"Today there shall be no events for you to attend to so Harry will show you around some more and introduce you to more people as everybody is having the last two days off school and tonight is a Thursday, and Harry runs a club on Thursdays so you shall attend that with him." McGonagall finished. "You may now leave." With that Harry left with the Dursleys.
"Boy, where are we going?" Vernon growled.
"To breakfast." Harry said dully without looking back. They all travelled to breakfast and once that had finished they headed to the Gryffindor common room.
"Hey Ron?" Harry shouted to his friend.
"Yeah mate."
"Dudley here is chess champion in his old school, why don't you have a game?" Vernon nodding in agreement, he would agree to anything his son might win in and he couldn't wait to show up some wizards.
"All right." Ron grinned, and started showing Dudley the rules of wizarding chess as Harry looked around for Ginny.
Finally he found her sitting by the window as her friends chattered about something which she didn't have the remotest interest in. Harry walked over to the gaggle of girls who began giggling uncontrollably. Harry ignored them and tapped Ginny on the shoulder who jumped out of her revelry and smiled at him.
"Hi." she said.
"Hi. Gin, will you come with me for a second, I need some help." Harry asked as the giggles of the other girls became louder.
"Yeah, sure." As she followed him out the corridor.
"Do you have any of The Weasley Wizard Wheezes personalized stink bomb collection?"
"Yes, why?"
"I have a plan." Harry grinned mischievously.
The rest of the day passed with nothing of particular interest happening, the Dursleys huddled in a dark corner while Harry laughed along with his friends.
"Oi, Dursleys!" The Dursleys looked up from the dark corner which they had vacated all day. Vernon looked at him angrily, Petunia looked fearful and Dudley just gazed past Harry, a dribble of drool collecting at the corner of his mouth. "Come with me, it's time for my club." the Dursleys grunted as they stood up to follow Harry. "Hey Gin, coming to help set up DA." Harry asked Ginny who was listening to Ron and Hermione's conversation with a look of thorough boredom on her freckled face. She jumped up immediately.
"Yes!" she cried in relief. "I just need to grab my wand from my trunk." with this Ginny ran upstairs to her dormitory. Dudley's eyes followed her in confusion, he had been watching her carefully for the past hour and she had used her wand twice without going to her dormitory once.
After a few seconds Ginny ran back downstairs, tripped and fell straight into Dudley. Dudley grunted at the sudden collision of the seventeen year old girl, but quickly helped her regain her balance, Harry gave him one of those looks that said, you got lucky.
The group of five walked in silence through numerous amounts of hallways, Dudley couldn't help but be amazed at how anybody could memorise their way through the castle. But all of a sudden Harry and Ginny came to an abrupt stop before a stretch of wall, Harry paced thrice before it and a door materialised in front of the five people. Petunia screamed, Vernon swore loudly and Dudley just continued to stare at Ginny, not noticing the door.
Once the Dursleys got over the shock of seeing the Room Of Requirement, the DA meeting began. Pupils cast spells and Harry wandered around correcting them.
Just as the lesson was drawing to a close there was a loud explosion it happened at the foot of Dudley's chair and there was a horrible stench of rotten eggs, Dudley tried to jump up and move away but the stench followed him. Dudley stared in horror but all the young witches and wizards knew what were happening and found Dudley's reaction hilarious, Dudley had yet again been pranked using products from the one and only Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.
That night both Ron and Harry fell into fitful slumbers, anticipating the important day ahead.
