Chapter 4: Coming together
With both of his two friends distracted by homework on the very first weekend of the term Harry was clad he was better at academics than Ron and not taking as many classes as Hermione.
With both of his two best friends out of action Harry had time to himself. He had decided to enjoy the last few days of warmth as best he could. Sitting out at the end of the pier in his wetsuit shorts Harry looked behind him and shook his head. There were a few groups of girls who had decided that they were going to sit under the trees beside the lake and watch him while giggling away to their friends.
Honestly I wish they'd all just fuck off. Harry sighed. Last year was better, at least then nobody had any bloody expectations.
Standing up he jumped into the water while producing a bubblehead charm, nonverbal are definitely good spell work. Swimming down into the depths of the black lake Harry lit his wand tip so he could clearly see the odd creatures and plants that he passed. Some of the plants he recognized from Neville telling him all about them and their properties during fourth year. Neville had really loved his plants. Grindelows watched him tediously as he swam past making sure he didn't get to close or they would attack him.
Seeing a faint glow further down Harry followed the light till he found its source. The brightly glowing plants that covered the floor were in so many colours Harry had never even seem some of them before. Swimming up to one Harry gently stroked the plant and it dimmed slightly before lighting back up brighter than ever. When Harry next saw Neville he would have to tell him all about the plants he had found. Swimming around watching them, it was as if they communicated though light with its dazzling display.
It was late in the afternoon when Harry finally made his way back to the Gryffindor common room. Hermione and Ron were playing a game of chess. It seemed that they were done with all of their homework. Ron was the first to see Harry.
'Mate, where have you been? Anyway never mind that. When I finish off this game with Hermione we're go down to the pitch and play some quiditch. I need to work on my goal scoring.' Ron grinned up at him from the table.
It really irked him that Ron thought he could just give Harry commands like that. Against what he and Dumbledore seemed to think he wasn't a bloody Labrador. Getting ready to tell Ron to shove it Harry was Hermione looking at the board like she wanted to smash it to smithereens.
'Please do he was annoying the crap out of me till I agreed to play with him.' Hermione said as she turning to him using that begging whinny tone that Harry always seemed to fold under. Harry nodded begrudgingly before walking up the stairs and changing into warmer clothes and grabbing his goggles and gloves. His Thunder Clap was nicely polished from the last time he had used it to teach the little ones some quiditch.
Sunday night at 6:30 Harry had put the word out was the time first meeting of all residing DA members. Most of the members left were Gryffindors but Harry knew that when they started getting new members it would even out a bit.
The room of requirement had supplied him with enough bean bags for everyone to comfortably sit on the floor in a circle. Harry waited till everyone was present and had finished their greetings to start.
'Welcome back everyone, I'm glad to see you all alive and somewhat healthy. I understand that the same cannot be said for all of your family.' Harry let the words hang in the air for a second as he inclined his head to Susan in apology. Her older sister had died when Deatheaters thought they had gotten her auntie.
'As you and finally the rest of the wizarding world know Voldemort is back. And he has already built a sizable army. He is still gathering members of cause and people are following him. The ministry has shown its flaws and its weakness, Voldemort has shown strength and fear. Just to be clear now the DA is not an army it is a group of students learning to fight and defend themselves. When the battle comes if you chose to fight you may this is not an obligation. You must understand that above ales freedom is your right. If you wish it I can't stop you from joining Voldemort but to be honest you would have to be crazy and Luna is just unique in that nice friendly sort of way.' Harry smiled at his daydreaming friend and a few people chuckled.
'Watch out Potter training with you means I know your arts of war.' Luna smiled and Harry grinned.
'Good you can watch my flaws as I watch yours as we battle at the jaws.' Harry said and this time she smiled.
'Fate is fair for those who dare but it is to remember that with the tides a call will rise.' She said
'And as they say all is fair in love, war and high school. I did not know you read poetry. Never a dull moment with you is there Luna?' Harry smiled
'As you said I'm unique.' She grinned before spacing out again. Everyone was looking at him with a strange look on their face.
'Tell anyone I read poetry and I'll kill you all. Now before we move on anyone who wishes to leave shall. The door is that way and please don't tell anyone of the meeting. Or the poetry.' Harry said pointing to the door. Nobody moved.
'OK today let's see if everyone can still do a Patronus.' Harry said jumping up and clapping his hands together making all the bags disappear from under people.
Over the next week Harry thought about a new way to contact the other members and also a new name for the group. Harry thought something with the word justice in it would be quiet nice. Every day after classes Harry could see Gryffindors going down to the pitch and practicing their quiditch. Harry couldn't figure out why quiditch was so popular till Hermione clued him in.
'Harry it's not quiditch that's popular it's you. All the girls want to date you and all the guys want to be you. You're like a superhero and a natural born leader. Everyone looks up to you.' Hermione had laughed on their way down to breakfast. Harry grinned.
'Hermione the only reason people look up to me is because I'm tall.' That had of cause earned him a slap.
The pitch was filled with wannabe quiditch players on Saturday morning at 8 o'clock. Harry had been sure to book the pitch first think to make sure that there wasn't going to be any field issues. Walking out onto the field Harry put his wand to his throat Sonorus.
'Good morning everyone, as you can tell we have a lot to get through today. Everyone who is not a Gryffindor or who does not have a broom please leave the pitch before I remove you from it.' a small group of people left. 'Ok the rest of you please form into four groups from left to right keepers, chasers, beaters and seekers. Remember that I want to have a full reserve team. You can also try out for more than one spot.'
The chasers were the first to tryout. He started with the basics then as he continued to loss people made them harder till he was left with six people. Katie Bell, Ginny Weasley, Demilza Robinson as team A chasers and Dean Tomas, Seamus Finnegan and Jane Peterson as team B's.
The beaters were easier with a set of twins and two individual's leagues ahead of everyone else. Max & Maison Walters were A team and Scarlet Johansson & Leonard Rundle were B team.
When it came to keepers Ron had some tough completion and Harry narrowed it down to three. Cormack Maclagan, Ron, and a surprise to him a small third year girl Megan Tomas. Megan was the best and got A team but he had to put Cormack and Ron through a few times before he picked Ron for team B. Maclagan had not taken it well.
'You're not picking fairly you pick ya mates and girls.' Cormack had yelled at him.
'You're not on the team because you're a prick and think your better than everyone else. I'm not making my decision just based on talent. Quiditch is a team sport and if a team doesn't work well together then it doesn't matter how good each individual is. Dean and Seamus can both be hot heads they would be too busy tearing you a new one every practice to actually train. Now get off the pitch before you get carried out of here by healers.' Harry said back with an utter sterile calm that gave everyone chills.
The only position left to fill was that of the reserve seeker. It was the easiest to fill. With Ginny already on A team there was only one kid that stood out, third year William Davies. He had a lot of raw talent and potential. Harry was just going to have to get him a better broom than the school one he was ridding.
Gryffindor common room was a party by 4 o'clock and Harry found himself enjoying it immensely. They decided that since Harry had said that quiditch was about fun that they should have a party to celebrate it. Dobby and Winky had brought food up to them from the kitchens and under the carefully worded instructions from Harry creature bought them some butterbeer and fire whisky.
Katie bell was sitting with him on the sofa and they were laughing about the good old days when Wood was captain and before he got thrown off the team. Lavender was flirting with Ron while he was busy death glaring Dean who was hand in hand with Ginny and they chatted quietly in the corner. Ron could be seriously over protective at times.
'So what's happening tomorrow Harry.' Katie asked quietly scooting closer to him on the couch. She was talking about the DA and didn't really want to be overheard even though the music was playing pretty load. Harry moved closer to so that they could whisper together.
'I'm going to teach you guys a new shield spell and an escape spell I found.' Harry whispered and she nodded. 'Hopefully in a while we'll be able to practice duelling. Oh and I want to run some new names by you guys for the group. I was thinking something with the word justice in it.' that made Katie smile.
'I think they'll agree to that.' With their closeness Katie only had to turn her head to place her lips to his. Harry cupped her chin and deepened the kiss without thinking. When they pulled apart Katie smiled at him before he pressed his lips to hers again.
'Get a room' yelled Seamus and Harry just lifted his arm and pulled the finger.
The news that Harry and Katie were dating spread like wild fire and the next day at lunch when Harry caught up with her she told him that she had already been approached by half the girls in school to either tell her to back off or to pester her with questions.
'Calm down everyone, take a seat.' Everyone listened and sat on the beanbags that again appeared in a circle on the floor. 'As you all know the dark arts are a purely destructive force. Powerful and unforgiving as they are they come to the user at a high price. To defend against the dark arts you need to use powerful protective magic. Can anyone tell me the shield charm to use?' Harry asked.
Hermione was of cause the one to answer. 'Easy Protego'
Harry smiled. 'No Hermione when that's a general shield the one that is most affective against dark magic is Protego Horribilis. It's the first spell we'll be learning today.' Harry took out his wand. 'Protego Horribilis' a visible shield of bright blue light formed in a massive shield a few feet ahead of him. It was thick ad full and you could feel power radiate off of it.
'This shield is harder to produce than protego which I hope you can still all do. Let's have at it then.' Harry walked around everyone fixing there verbal or wand movement. Eventually everyone got it and they all grinned around at each other. No one's shield was as strong or as big as Harry's but they would all do the job.
'Exhalent guys that was really great now the next thing is the Partis Iemporus charm. What this does is creates a temporary gap through protective magical barriers. This can be used to disapperate out of a anti-disapperation ward that death eaters like to use. Because we're in Hogwarts and because I highly doubt that Dumbledore would be so foolish we cannot see the effects of the spell but it is a most important one to know.'
By the time they were done curfew was only minutes away and Harry had them all sit down. 'I've been thinking about the name. DA, Dumbledore's Army and I thought we should have a new one. The name we chose was one chosen to create fear in the ministry. So how about now we create one for hope?' Harry asked and murmurs spread around the circle. 'I thought something with the word justice or soul in it.' Harry offered.
'You mean like Justice Souls?' Colin asked and Harry shook his head.
'Na doesn't sound right.' Harry said and a silence lapsed as everyone thought.
'What about the Souls Society?' Hermione asked. A few people snorted and Harry shook his head.
'What about Justice Society like the old Marvel Superhero's?' Seamus asked and Harry pondered it.'
'No don't steal the name make it original. What about the Soul Soldier? I mean like you said nobody has to fight in the war but it is a cool name. Way better than Deatheaters.' Ginny proposed. Everyone started whispering excitedly and then looked up at Harry expectantly. Of cause it had to be Ginny who came up with the name again.
'I like it.' Harry said receiving smiles from around the room.
'I don't know, it's a bit poncy isn't it? Harry call us something with power. Like the Evil Eradicators or the League of Power.' Ron said puffing out his chest.
'Why don't you just start your own group and call it the nobodies with big ego's.' Ginny sneered at her brother and Harry couldn't help but laugh.
'Or the League of Extraordinary Twits.' Harry added through his laughter. He knew it was cruel but he didn't really care. Nobody was bothering to hide their laughter and he wasn't about to either.
'Oh I'm got it, the Society of Insufferable Wanker.' Lavender added.
'Oh fuck the lot of you I'm out of here.' Ron yelled over their laughter before storming out. When they had all calmed down Harry grinned at them.
'Good, next week same place same time and hopefully I'll have a new way to contact each other by then. I'll see you later Soul Soldiers.' Everyone left then, Harry taking Katie by the hand as they walked back to Gryffindor tower.

'Mr. Potter can you please stay behind after class.' Professor McGonagall asked partway through transfiguration as they all sat there taking notes on animated transformation.
'Yes Professor.' Harry replied and tried not to think about what he was going to possibly be in trouble for now.
Like he was told too Harry packed up his things but stayed in his seat when the bell was getting ready to go. Hermione shot him a look that plainly asked what the hell did you do this time and Harry just shrugged. Everyone filed out and Harry waited patiently.
'Poppy told me that you are going to be taking some lessons on healing from her this year. In your Friday Study period I believe?' McGonagall asked and Harry nodded.
'Good, I wrote a list of items you should order to help you. You should also see Professor Slughorn about additional Potions lessons. Your grades are adequate in the class I know but it will be important. You have taken many potions over the years for your Quiditch mishaps so you can understand that.' She said and Harry nodded again taking the list she handed to him.
'Albus is a great wizard but he has lived a long life and sometimes forgets that time is relevant to the rest of us. If you need anything you can always come to any member of the teaching staff. Even Snape would help you.' She said and Harry nodded again. 'Now off to lunch with you'
'Thank you Professor.'
'Harry!' Susan called from her group of friends huddled to the side of the corridor. 'Can I have a word?' Harry nodded looking at her curiously. Splitting off from her giggling friends Susan followed him down the corridor.
'So what's up?' Harry asked.
'I have a letter for you from my aunt. You know about what happened to her and my sister.' Harry nodded 'Well I think she wants your help to make sure he doesn't completely take over the ministry. I don't know exactly what but I'm guessing. Here.' She handed him an envelope and Harry slide it straight into his cloak pocket.
'Thank you Susan and I'm sorry you lost your sister, I know you already lost your parents last time.' Harry said and gave her arm a gentle squeeze when she pulled in a shaky breath.
'She was an Aurora, level 1 only just finished the schooling. You know maybe you should talk to my aunt about their Aurora training. Not to make your ego bigger but early in the summer when I was telling her about the DA she said that you were teaching us stuff not tort till the final year. Though she did say it was extremely patchy.' Harry smirked and nudged her.
'I'll take it as a complement and just make you jump through hoops next lesson.' Harry smirked and Susan snorted.
'Oh you may be all high and mighty now but I knew you last year Potter.' Susan said wagging her finger at him. Entering the great hall they went their separate ways.
Harry was sitting in the library going through the books on defensive wards on Thursday morning while waiting for Ron. They were suppose to meet up at the library and go find new spells to train with for the JL. He had noticed that Ron was kind of avoiding them the past few days but he guessed it was because Harry was with Katie and Hermione was constantly studying.
Lavender Brown came and dropped into a seat next to him. 'What's up paranoia boy. You keep looking up at the door and the constant motion in my side vision is distracting me from my homework.'
'Sorry Lavender, I'm not paranoid I'm just waiting for Ron he's late.' Harry said.
'Well I haven't seen him. He's properly feeding his face right now.' She smirked. 'You know he's going to end up a fat lonely git.' Obviously Ron had dropped off her radar rather hard.
'He'll grow up Lavender he's still just a boy.' Harry said without really thinking and lavender gave him the same look she had when he help her in Herbology.
'You're supposes to be just a boy too Harry.' She said softly. 'Parvati and I used to joke about how you were born an adult but it doesn't seem like something we can joke about anymore.' Harry gave her a one armed hug and she blushed.
'You now that means a lot. Everyone always thinks of me as a child and it always get us into more trouble. It's nice to know someone thinks the opposite.' He smiled.
'You're welcome, and don't stress about Ron. I think he's taking it a little hard that you're not always around to hold his hand.' Lavender giggled and Harry nudged her.
'So what are you working on?' Harry asked lavender. With a smile she went and retrieved her books.
'Harry I thought Ron was supposes to be helping you with that?' Hermione said as she swung her heavy book bag on the table next to him. 'Hey Lavender' she added as an after though and Lavender gave her a slight nod.
'He never showed up. He missed quiditch practice on Tuesday night too. I think there's something up with him.' Harry said looking up at his other best friend to find Antony Goldstein next to her. 'Hey Antony, nice to see ya.' Harry said extending his hand.
'Harry mate want to go down to the pitch.' Said a grinning Ron walking into the library at that exact moment.
'Now you show up. Ron we only have five minutes till DADA's you were suppose to meet me here over an hour ago.' Harry said dropping his hand and looking at his friend. 'You're lucky Lavender was here to keep me company or I might have just left.'
'Oh man I'm sorry I got distracted.' Ron said, Harry looked at his friend suspiciously and noticed that his eyes didn't quiet seem right.
'Doing what?' Hermione asked in her usual bossy tone. You'd think that he would be more upset than she was.
'I wasn't talking to you and your little boyfriend.' Ron snapped.
'Don't talk to Hermione like that.' Harry and Antony said at the same time, lavender raised an eye brow at him but he was too busy looking at Antony's sudden blush.
'And besides me and Hermione aren't going out… Yet' Antony said. Hermione looked up at him.
'Do you want to be going out?' Hermione asked with a slight blush.
'If…if you want to be my girlfriend.' Antony asked hesitantly blushing.
'I give my blessing for you to date my sister by choice not blood.' Harry grinned and Hermione smiled at him before turning back to Antony.
'I would love to be your girlfriend.' Hermione they both smiled and Antony was about to take her hand when Ron spoke up.
'Will Vicky approve of you seeing Ant.' Ron snickered. Harry sighed.
'Continue your cute moment I'll take care of him.' Harry smiled getting out of his seat and giving Lavender an apologetic look before dragging Ron from the library. 'Sometimes you're a real dick you know that.' He hissed dragging Ron to Defence against the Dark arts by his ear.
'What took you so long I didn't think you were going to come?' Came a voice just ahead of him in the dark corridor. The smell of the many joints that had been consumed in the room over the years had such an effect that you feel victim to on entry.
'I'm sorry love, you know I want to spend time with you but Potter was being a righteous dick and made me complete all of my fucking homework in front of him in the common room.' Ron said as he reached the girl slumping down the wall next to her.
'Well I guess you'll have to make it up to me.' the witch said moving to straddle his lap. Still with the lit joint in hand she pushed his robes off his shoulders not caring that the ash was ruining his robs.
'I brought you something from a fellow I know. He's a rather skilled criminal in his.' Ron said pulling a vile from his pocket. 'One drop each and we'll be in heaven for five hours straight.'
The girl eyed the potion with interest before opening it to pull the dripper out. 'Open up' she giggled and he did so. With a flick she dropped a few drops down his throat watching his reaction before doing the same.
Ron felt his core react as if someone had lit it on fire. A painfully hard erection fought againt the restriction of his pants as he took deep breaths watching his blonde haired lover to see if she reacted the same way he did.
'Ron I'm not ready for that yet.' She said with a hesitant smile.
'I don't care if you're no ready for sex I'm taking it now!' Ron demanded and shoved her off him pinning her to the ground and so that she faced the floor.
'No Stop! Stop! No Please Stop!' she screamed. Rage built and he hit her hard in the ribs listening to the satisfying crack. Her screams echoed. Pulling his wand he silenced her before body binding her and vanishing her cloths. The glow off her porcelain white skin only made Ron's erection harder. He had never seen a girl naked. In fact he had only just gotten to second base wither yesterday.
'Parkinson, your worth nothing, you could have had fun but now you won't because I'm going to have fun with you as you try to get away.' Magically locking the door and taking her wand off the ground Ron positioned himself and unzipped his pants.
Pushing into her Ron felt her cringe and twitch as something tore around him. Oh well it wasn't as if he cared if she got broken. With a swish of his wand he released the body bind on her and started pumping roughly as she tried to get away the felling of her as he tried to twist out of his grip only pleasuring him more. He laughed and forced her against him again and again.
Please, please oblivate me after this with that last thought pansy Parkinson lost all consciousness.
Ok everyone the story has just taken a Harry/Katie turn but there will be other Harry pairings as it continues. If there is you want to see review this story and tell me, I can't promise I'll write it but I'll take it into consideration.
Also as you can tell this is a very different Ronald Weasley. He will become more evil and disturbing as the story goes but if it's too much and I need to turn it down tell me.
Please review it will take 5 reviews for me to publish the next chapter.
And if anyone knows tips as to how I can improve tell me :)
