Chapter 3
Into the Room of Requirements Once Again
"We first need to find out when the first meeting should be," said Ginny, after Luna and Neville arrived at the Room of Requirements.
"I've been thinking about what you said about starting meetings right away and I agree with you," said Neville.
"I think it would be best too," said Luna.
"Then we'll start in two days then," said Ginny, writing it down, "Next we need to plan what we're going to do?"
Ginny, Neville and Luna decided to do every spell and practice them. They made a list of spells they know and to practice, from simple spells like accio and tickling charms to Patronuses and the Impediment Curse. Neville, Ginny, and Luna were looking through the books to make sure they got all the spells they need.
"I think we got all the spells," said Ginny, after 40 minutes of writing down spell, curse, and charm they could think of and looking through many books to see if they could find anything in them, "we also have to get ready for our next class."
"I'm still on break so I might stay in here a little bit," said Neville.
"You sure Neville?" asked Ginny.
"Yeah, I'll be fine…" he said, Ginny put everything away and looked uncertain at Neville, but left with Luna to go to Muggle Studies.
Neville watched them leave then walked around the room. He didn't notice earlier, but there was a wall with nothing on it but a big mirror. The sides of the mirror were taken up with pictures, on particular one was of the original Order of the Phoenix. He looked at it and saw his parents.
I will make you proud mum and dad.
He looked at the picture for a couple more moments then left the room himself to go to Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Ginny and Luna
They walked out of the Room of Requirements and found the Muggle Studies Room quickly. They walked in and took the seats in the back. Michael, Anthony, and Terry took a desk in front of them while everyone else filed into the room.
"Welcome to Muggle studies," sneered Alecto, "but I'm not going to teach you about Muggles, oh no, I'm going to teach you what kind of trash they and Mudbloods ar-"
"They aren't trash!" shouted Ginny angrily.
"Yes they are, they steal magic from great witches and wizards," said Alecto.
"No they don't!" Ginny jumped out of her seat and slammed her fists onto the table, "Some of the smartest witches and wizards were muggleborns!"
"Like who?"
"Hermione Granger - "
"How do you know she didn't steal that magic," said Alecto.
"Because Hermione Granger wouldn't do that," said Michael, who got to his feet too.
"Justin Finch-Fletchley was a true Hufflepuff," said a Hufflepuff girl who stood up as well, "He was great!"
There were mummers of agreement.
"ENOUGH!" shouted Alecto, silencing everyone, Ginny, Michael, and the unknown Hufflepuff were still their feet. "I want to see you three at 6 o'clock, you've got detention."
Michael, Ginny, and the girl slowly sat back down and sat quietly during the rest of the lesson. Alecto left for a couple minutes in the middle of class, she set all the Slytherins in charge while she was gone. Everyone stayed quiet until she got back, and she went on about how much better wizards are to muggles and muggleborns.
"This is horrible," said Luna to Ginny after class, "a foot long essay on how muggles and muggleborns are trash and how much better wizards are."
"She's doing this so we have to suffer," said Ginny as she pulled out her fake coin.
First D.A meeting, and I have an idea.
She typed down the day after tomorrow's date and walked to the Great Hall for an early dinner.
Neville
Neville walked into his Defense Against the Dark Arts class and sat down in the back. Ernie, Susan Bones, Seamus, Hannah and the Patil twins joined in not to soon after. Seamus and Ernie joined Neville while Hannah, Padma, Susan, and Parvati sat at the desk in the next row beside them. Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyal, Blaise, Pansy, and some other Slytherins came in and sat in the front. Amycus was standing behind his desk while everyone filed in.
"I'm your new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor," he said shortly, "I'm going to teach you the real Dark Arts."
"What about Defense?" asked Neville loudly, "that's what this class is called."
"I don't care about Defense," he said, "I'm going to teach you the Dark Arts, like the Unforgivable Curses."
"But they're illegal," said Parvati.
"I told you, I don't give a damn,"
Seamus, Ernie, and Neville glanced at each other.
"I'm now going to show you the curses and how to work them." Amycus said, as he pulled out a rat from a cage and sat it down on the desk. He started describing the curse. It was the worst thing Neville had ever heard. Even after having Muggle Studies. Amycus stopped talking and raised his wand, but right before he said the spell, there was a knock on the door. Amycus lowered his wand and walked toward the door, said something to someone and walked back to the front of the room with his sister waiting for him in the doorway.
"I'll be back in a moment," he said quickly, "Malfoy and Blaise, you're in charge."
He walked out of the room with his sister. Malfoy and Blaise watched everyone in the room, particularly Neville, the Patils, Hannah, Susan, Ernie, and Seamus. No one talked or moved. A couple minutes later, Amycus came back into the room with a smirk on his face.
"According to my sister," he started, "there are some misbehaving students in her Muggle Studies class." His smirked widened, "and she wants us to punish them. I want everyone to be in this room at 6 o'clock. And if you're not here, I'll know and I'll punish you tomorrow."
The lesson went on. Amycus controlled the rat, by making him run around the room. He gave a detailed description about the Crutiatus Curse and tortured the rat. He finally killed the rat.
"You have to mean it," he said, "you have to want to control, cause pain, or kill your victim."
Neville, Ernie, Seamus, Hannah, Parvati, Padma, and Susan tried their best not to speak out. Amycus set them an assignment.
"I want you to write a foot long essay on the Unforgivable Curses, due Friday."
Everyone rushed out of the room after class.
Neville felt his D.A coin burn. He looked both ways down the corridor; only Ernie, Hannah, the Patils, Seamus, and Susan were there. Ernie, Hannah, and Seamus were looking at their coins too.
"Are you reforming Dumbledore's Army?" asked Parvati.
"Yes," said Neville.
"Can we join again?" asked Padma.
"Do you still have your coins?" asked Neville. They both nodded.
"Then you can," Neville said.
"Can I too?" asked Susan, "I still have my coin."
"Of course," said Neville. The 7 D.A members went their separate ways.
Neville went down to dinner. He meets Ginny there.
"I can't stay long," said Neville.
"Me neither," said Ginny. Neville remembered something.
"Did someone in your Muggle Studies class get a detention today?"
"Yes, Michael, some Hufflepuff girl, and me did."
Neville's eyes widened and he was turning pale.
"Why? What's wrong?" asked Ginny.
"I have to watch your punishment," he said.
"What?" asked Ginny, as her eyes widened.
Neville explained what happened during his class. How Alecto told Amycus that some students in her class misbehaved and need punished and how they were told to be there.
"He said if we don't go we're going to be punished tomorrow," he finished.
Ginny sat there.
"I'm really sorry Neville," she began, "I didn't know she would tell her brother and he would make you guys watch. I just couldn't stand her trashing Muggleborns."
Neville saw that it was almost 6.
"We better go," he said. Ginny and him stood up and walked toward the doors. Michael and the unknown Hufflepuff were walking towards them.
"I heard what was going on," said Michael.
"I did too," said the girl.
"Me too," said Ginny.
"By the way," said the girl turning to Ginny, Michael, and Neville, "my name is Avery."
"I'm Ginny," said Ginny, taking in the features of Avery. She had shoulder-length brown hair and hazel eyes. They shook hands.
"I'm Neville," said Neville, shaking hands with Avery.
"Michael Corner," said Michael, shaking hands with her too.
They made their way up to Defense Against the Dark Arts room. Alecto and Amycus had moved everything so that there was a big open space. The Carrows stood against the wall; the Slytherins were already there when the group arrived. Everyone else came in very slowly. Everyone formed a circle around Ginny, Michael, and Avery.
"You are here to find out what happens to people who misbehave this year," said Amycus.
"Starting with the red-head Gryffindor girl," hissed Alecto.
"Any volunteers to punish them," snarled Amycus. Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle, Blaise, and Pansy all raised their hands.
"Go ahead Zambini," said Amycus, as he whispered something to him. Blaise walked forward in front of Ginny.
"Crucio," he said before Ginny had time to react. She screamed and writhed in pain. Neville, the Patils, Hannah, Ernie, Seamus, Susan, Michael, and Avery watched in horror as the leader of the D.A was tortured. Blaise only did it once. She was on her hands and knees, Blaise bent down to her height.
"You're lucky I'm letting you off. I could torture you more."
Ginny didn't say anything, she was breathing heavily. Blaise stood up to full height and kicked her in the stomach. She rolled on the ground, clutching her stomach. Malfoy pulled her up by her robes and punched her in the face. After a moment of beatings, he dropped her. She was too weak to stand up.
"Because your fighter here took a huge beating," said Alecto, "I'm letting you two off. But don't speak out of turn anymore." She, Amycus, and the other Slytherins laughed as Seamus helped Ginny to her feet and Neville grabbed her and Seamus's things.
"That was horrible," cried Parvati, as all the Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws went to their Common Rooms and the Gryffindors walked up the steps to the Common Room.
"Yeah, but wait till the first meeting," said Ginny, "They'll be sorry."
"Hungarian Horntail," murmured Neville when they reached the fat lady.
"Correct," she said and let them into the Common Room. Everyone went quiet when they saw the small group of Gryffindors help a beat up girl. They set Ginny down on a couch to rest.
"That must hurt," said Seamus as he heard her wince.
"I'll be alright," she said, "I just need some rest."
Parvati helped Ginny up to the girls' dormitory. Seamus looked at Neville.
"She's a true fighter," he said.
"She is, isn't she?" Neville said back.
"I just wish I was there to hear what she did to earn her a beating like that," Seamus and Neville walked up the stairs to their dormitory, where Neville fell into a restless sleep.
