I'm Back!! Ello...well here's chapter 4...my longest Chapter yet...

Chapter 4

What more can they do

"I'm fine Parvati," said Ginny during breakfast the next morning.

"Are you sure?" Parvati asked unconvinced.

"Yes," Ginny's beating the night before looked worse today than last night. She had a fat lip and a slightly swollen eye. She had some other cuts and bruises too.

"Looks like the Carrows are happy," said Seamus, looking at the teachers' table. The carrows had smirks on their faces. Seamus and Neville were sitting across from Ginny and Parvati. Luna came over and squeezed between Neville and Seamus.

"Michael told the Ravenclaws what happened last night in your detention," she said to Ginny, "Are you alright?"

"Yeah," Ginny replied, "in a little bit of pain but I'll be fine."

Luna nodded. Snape walked up to them.

"Miss Lovegood," he began, "why are you at the Gryffindor table, you belong over there." He pointed at the Ravenclaw table. Luna stared at him.

"She's here to talk to her friends," Ginny said. Snape turned to her.

"I wouldn't want to get another detention if I were you Miss Weasley." He sneered at her. Luna looked at Ginny and walked back over to the Ravenclaw table. Snape walked away.

"I hate him," Ginny hissed.

"I do too," said Seamus, Neville, and Parvati together.

"What do you have first today?" asked Neville to Ginny.

"Double Defense Against the Dark Arts," she said.

McGonagall walked down the Gryffindor table towards them.

"Mr. Longbottom, Mr. Finnigan, and Miss Patil, your schedules are changed for today," she started, "You'll have Double Defense Against the Dark Arts first."

"What?" started Neville, "That's what the 6th years have, what about Herbology."

"You won't have that today," she said. She walked away before anyone could say anything else.

"At least we have it together," said Parvati.

They stood up and began to walk out of the Great Hall. Luna, Michael, Anthony, Terry, Padma, Avery, Susan, Hannah, and Ernie walked out with them.

"We got your message," said Terry to Ginny. Ginny nodded.

"Um- Ginny," started Avery, "Can I join Dumbledore's Army too? I wanted to join two years ago but I was too scared, but I'm willing to after what you did last night."

"Sure you can join," said Ginny, "I even have an extra coin for you." Ginny handed her the extra coin.

"Thanks," she said.

The group of D.A members walked to Defense Against the Dark Arts, which they learned they had together.

"Promfrey told us we had Defense Against the Dark Arts," said Ernie.

"I wonder why," whispered Ginny, mostly to herself, who hadn't said anything at all until this moment.

"What do you mean?" asked Neville.

"They wouldn't just put us in the same class for no reason," Ginny said, "they must be doing something to us today."

Everyone was quiet as they thought about it.

"I guess we'll find out what's going on when we get to class," said Avery.

The group walked into the Muggle Studies room. It was bigger than yesterday. There were two tables in each row and there were five rows with three people at each table. All the Slytherins took up the first two rows. Ernie, Hannah, and Susan took a table behind the Slytherins, while Michael, Terry, and Anthony sat at the table beside theirs. Padma and Parvati took a table to themselves behind Ernie, Hannah, and Susan. Seamus and Neville sat at the table behind Michael, Terry, and Anthony. Ginny, Avery, and Luna sat at the desk behind Seamus and Neville. After a minute of sitting in the classroom, both Carrows walked in.

"You are probably wondering why you are all together," stated Amycus.

"We decided to teach you together," said Alecto, "So if anyone misbehaves, we can take care of it immediately."

Her eyes gleamed at Ginny. She continued.

"We'll start today by talking about Muggles," she said. "They are just as worse as animal, they are the reason we are in hiding." Ginny's fists were clenched and were shaking on the desk. "They are stupid, filthy trash. They are the reason why the wizarding world is cursed to have Mudbloods."

Ginny was shaking from anger. She couldn't take it. She was trying not to speak out turn but it was very hard.

"Mudbloods," said Alecto, after a half hour rant about how Muggles forced wizards into hiding, "Don't have a right to live with us witches and wizards. They are the worst kind in our world."

"Good job, Ginny," congradulated Neville during break before they went back for Defense Against the Dark Arts, "you kept calm."

"Barely," muttered Ginny, she uncletched her hands and looked at her hands. There were four small cuts there where her nails dug in on each of her hands. She pulled out a cloth from her bag and ripped it in two and on around each of her hands. They walked back into the same they were just in. Both Carrows were still there. They sat in the same seats as earlier.

"Today we're going to practice the Imperius Curse," said Amycus, after everyone sat down.

"It's illegal to use it on anyone," said Ernie.

"If you refuse to do it, we'll have the others do it on you," sneered Alecto.

"Yes, now stand up," said Amycus. Everyone obeyed. Amycus made a swishing movement with his wand and all the tables and chairs stacked on top and beside each other against the walls. The Slytherins faced one of the members of the D.A, besides Avery, who didn't have a partner.

"You'll be partnered with me," said Alecto, to Avery. Ginny heard.

"No," she said, turning to Avery and Alecto, "I'll go against you."

Alecto smiled evilly. Neville grabbed Ginny's wrist, making her face him.

"What are you doing?" he whispered to her.

"Helping my friends," she said defensively, "I'll be fine."

"You were beat up yesterday for us," Avery said, who crowded around them, as did all the other D.A members, "I owe you."

"No, I want to face her," Ginny said sternly to everyone, "I want revenge."

"Are you sure?" asked Susan.

"Yes," Ginny looked at everyone. Nobody objected. Neville let go of her. Everyone faced their opponents, and here was the lineup:

Avery was against Blaise Zambini,

Luna was against Pansy,

Hannah was against Millicent Bullstrode,

Neville was against Crabbe,

Seamus was against Malfoy,

Ernie was against Goyle,

Susan was against a girl named Tracy Davis,

Michael was against Harper,

Anthony was against a boy named Theodore Nott,

Parvati was against a girl named Daphne Greengrass,

Terry was against a boy no one knew,

Padma was against a girl no one knew,

And Ginny was against Alecto.

"Start!" shouted Amycus, Ginny suddenly felt a sensation where she couldn't think.

Jump on top of the table said a voice in her head, and she obliged, sort of. Instead of ending up on top of the table, she missed the table and fell to the floor, hitting her head on the ground. The sensation lifted and she clutched her head in pain. She sat up and looked around. Seamus was walking around with a blank expression on his face, so was Susan, Michael, Padma, Avery, and Terry. Anthony, Luna, Ernie, and Parvati just stood there with blank expressions, not moving. Hannah was lying on top of a table not far from the one Ginny tried jumping on. Neville, on the other hand, looked liked the only one who was able to hit their opponent with the curse first. Neville had Crabbe sitting in a corner, huddled up. Ginny saw his face though; it was a face of both concentration and some horror.

"That's enough," said Amycus. Everyone's wand fell and everyone who was controlled went back to normal.

"I hate that class," said Ernie, as everyone walked to the Great Hall for Lunch.

"I know it was as if I couldn't think for myself," said Luna.

Everyone agreed, except Neville. He hadn't spoken since he controlled Crabbe. He stopped walking. Ginny stopped and looked at him. Everyone stopped too.

"Just go on," Ginny whispered to the others, "We'll meet up with you soon."

Everyone nodded and walked away. Ginny walked up to Neville.

"I just didn't know who I was anymore," he said, without Ginny needing to say anything.

"It's not your fault," Ginny said, "Crabbe would have hurt you."

"I'm never doing that spell again," he swept past Ginny and quickly walked away.

Ginny looked down the hall and saw that the slytherins were coming. She ran after her friends.

"Tomorrow will be better," Ginny whispered confidently to Seamus, Neville, and Parvati at lunch about 10 minutes later, "I promise."

Parvati and Ginny were sitting across from Neville and Seamus. Nobody was really hungry so they whispered about the D.A.

"We already have a plan," said Ginny, "and I want to do something as well, but I won't say it till tomorrow."

Everyone nodded. They talked for another 10 minutes then went to their afternoon classes. They all met in the Common Room and began their essays due the day after tomorrow. Everyone went to bed afterwards. The next day was the same as the day before, only a little bit more exciting, especially when the afternoon classes came.

"Can this day go any slower," whispered an exasperated Terry during their last class of the day, Charms.

"It's not too long now," Luna whispered back. Luna, Michael, Avery, Ginny, Terry, and Anthony had class together. They weren't doing much but sat there at two separate tables, Michael, Terry, and Anthony at one, Ginny, Avery, and Luna sitting in the one behind them. They were working on throwing cushions into box; all five of them were practicing and talking. You could always get away with talking during Charms.

"Now remember," whispered Ginny, "Come right after Dinner. Don't go to your Common Rooms."

They all nodded. Flitwick was about to reach them when Michael accidentally hit him with a cushion, making him fall over.

"It's fine," said the tiny teacher, as Michael came over to help him up, "class is almost over. Please practice tonight." Michael nodded as Ginny, Luna, Avery, Anthony, and Terry chuckled quietly.

Everyone put the cushions away and was excused for dinner.

"Meet you in an hour," whispered Michael to Ginny.

Ginny nodded and pulled Luna and Avery aside.

"Luna, can you meet Neville and I in the room earlier than everyone else?" asked Ginny in a whisper.

"Sure," Luna said, "When?"

"About 45 minutes from now?"

"Ok, sure."

"Avery, don't come to the Room of Requirements until 5 minutes after the Ravenclaws leave. To make it less suspicious."

"Got it," said Avery.

"Tell the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs to think of 'A place where we can pratice Defense Against the Dark Arts where no Death Eater or Voldemort supporter can find us,' Got it?"

Luna and Avery nodded.

"Also Luna, tell the Ravenclaws to leave the Great Hall 15inutes after we leave. That's a 5minute interval between the Gryffindors and them."

Luna nodded. Ginny smiled and walked with Luna and Avery to the Great Hall. Ginny and Neville asked Parvati and Seamus to wait about another 10 minutes before meeting at the Room of Requirements. They agreed. Neville and Ginny ate quickly and left, Luna coming out shortly after them to make it less suspicious. The Room of Requirements out did itself this time. They had a big room with a table against a wall. There was a bookcase with spell, charms, hex, and jinx books on it. There were the tapestry hangings with the Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Gryffindor symbols and colors. There were some small, comfortable chairs, enough for everyone. Ginny turned to Neville and Luna, who had sat down.

"Are you two ready to lead the new D.A?" asked Ginny, when they reached the Room of Requirements.

They nodded.

"Are you?" asked Neville, "After all, you went out with Harry and are basically the one in charge, the one who's teaching us as well, you had six brothers who went to Hogwarts."

"But you're helping me," she said.

"Not really," said Luna, "It was you who reformed the D.A."

"With your help," said Ginny.

"And your doing the same thing Harry did two years ago," said Neville, "You're being modest. Nobody can do the Bat-Bogey Hex better than you, and not to mention you got an 'Outstanding' on you Tranfiguration, Charms, and Defense Against the Dark Arts O.W.Ls."

"You're like Hermione too," said Luna, "You're basically the best in our year."

"Not really," said Ginny, "Michael, Anthony, Terry, and you did better on your History of Magic O.W.L."

"True, but we all did worse on our Defense Against the Dark Arts and Transfiguration O.W.Ls." said Luna.

Ginny couldn't understand why her friends were saying all of this.

"Do you mean it?" asked Ginny.

"Of course," said Luna, "ask the others."

Ginny shook her head.

"There's no time to argue now," said Ginny, as the door opened, "Everyone else is arriving."

In about 20 minutes, Parvati, Seamus, Padma, Michael, Terry, Anthony, Ernie, Susan, Avery, and Hannah had all arrived and were settling down on chairs.

Let's start the first meeting, Ginny thought in her head as she took a deep breathe to calm herself down before she spoke.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter...I did my best...I'll update soon as soon as I think of something. Untill then...bye...
