A/N: I hate this heat and it makes it hard to sit and write,but I'll try to update more often .In this chapter the DA is formed and Lucy over hears,Hermoine ,Harry and Ron talking about it . There's something in here from the books that wasn't in the movies if you can spot it,put it in the review and I'll give you a popsicle of your choice (since it's so hot)
If it hadn't been for Ron talking about the DA in front of Hermoine in the Gryffindor Common Room ,Lucy might have never had heard about it,but luckily she was lying in the perfect spot,just behind the couch in front of the fire,the entire common room was empty ,except for Hermoine,Ron and Harry. Lucy did not set out ot eavesdrop on her older brother and his friends,but she had lost one of the radish earrings Luna had given her .Nobody noticed her behind the couch.
"If we could find somewhere the DA could practice it'll be fine,but I don't know of any places big enough to hold all of us."Ron said.
"What's DA?" Lucy asked suddenly appearing over the couch,Hermoine yelped
"Lucy,how long have you been listening."Harry asked a bit disapprovingly.
"Not that long so what's DA?" Lucy asked looking from one teenager to the other,none of them seemed to want to answer,Hermoine made a great show in raveling up her yarn,Ron pretended to be interested in his Potions homework and Harry examined his wand.
"Tell ,I won't tell."Lucy begged.
Hermoine looked at Harry,"Maybe we should after all,this affects her too .No matter how much you want to shield her from the truth."
"Right,I should know."Lucy said with a nod.
"Lucy, be quiet."Harry said a bit shortly,his scar was starting to prickle again."Look if I do let you join,you can't tell anyone that isn't part of it .Not even the teachers ."
"I promise,I won't."Lucy said raising her right hand .
"All right."Harry said,then,he Ron and Hermoine explained about the DA .
"I want to join." Lucy said looked at Harry as if daring him to disagree.
Hermoine unrolled the parchment from her bookbag and handed Lucy a quill.
"Remember,this is a secret."Harry warned as Lucy signed her name and Hermoine took the parchment back rolling it up to stick in her book bag,she stood up and left the common followed behind her,leaving Ron and Harry to talk .

The next day Saturday dawned bright and early,the weather was perfect for the Gryffindors first Quidditch match with Slytherin,but what would have been a perfect day soon ended badly,by the end of the match even though Gryffindor had won it felt like they had lost ,Harry,Fred and Geroge had been banned by Umbridge ,so they were short two Beaters and a Seeker .Angelina was depressed as were the rest of the team.
Lucy wondered what it would be like to fly as fast as Harry did,she didn't have her own broom stick first years weren't allowed and Harry
s was under lock and key in Umbridge's couldn't ask Hermoine she might go tell Harry so would went Edmund Pevensie instead.
"You want to borrow my broom?" Edmund repeated when Lucy asked him.
"Please,I just want to see how it feels to fly on my own where I'm not in a class or on the back of my brother's broom."Lucy pleaded.
"I don't know,Susan and Peter would kill me if they knew I let a first year ride a broom unsupervised."Edmund said ,then he shrugged,"Oh well,you only live once I say,hang on I'll get it."
"Thanks." Lucy said,five minutes later Edmund came back with his broom a nimbus 2000,"I know it's not as fancy as your brothers." Edmund said.
Lucy shrugged "That's okay." she said,swinging her leg over the broom and kicking off,at first it was a bit frightening ,she wasn't used to flying alone with out Harry or Madame Hooch on the ground yelling out instructions,in class,they only hovered a few inches above the ground. She urged the broom to go faster by leaning forward,shrieking with excitement she zipped around Edmund .
"Hey! slow down!" Edmund yelled watching as Lucy flew faster ,by now several people had come over and were watching Lucy the entire Quidditch team and several of the teachers ,Mcgonagall was one of them.
"Harry,you never told me Lucy could fly as fast as you."Angelina said as if Harry had kept Lucy's flying abilities from her on purpose.
"I had no idea,she could fly that fast." Harry said he was just as surprised as she watched Lucy and realised like him she was a natural on the broom.
Up in the air ,Lucy realised she had attracted a crowd,she gulped and slowed down letting the broom come to the ground ,she unmounted then handed it back to Edmund.
"Professor McGonagall,I'm sorry,I -I just couldn't resist and oh please don't punish Ed,I asked him to loan me his broom."Lucy said in a rush her eyes on the ground.
"Miss Potter,let me make one thing clear."Professor McGonagall said sternly,Lucy gulped here it came she was going to be expelled from Hogwarts. "Edmund Pevensie is in Hufflepuff he's Professor Sprouts responsiblity not mine also,I think you would be a good addition to the Gryffindor team you can take your brother's place as is if Angelina will have you."
"Are you kidding welcome to the team."Angelina rushed forward.

They had their first DA meeting in the Room of Requirements by the end of their first lesson nearly everyone was able to disarm their partners ,Neville was still having trouble . They headed for the Gryffindor Common Room. Lucy was waiting for them; in order for them to avoid detection or trouble,Ginny had taken Lucy back earlier since first years were supposed to be back in their common rooms by was not happy about this until Harry reminded her that if Umbridge found out,that would be the end of the DA.
"Sirius was just here." Lucy said pointing to the fireplace,she stood up,yawning,"He said he'll talk to you later."
"What'd you tell him." Harry asked.
"That you were busy."Lucy said ,she flopped down on the couch.
"Luce,don't you think you ought to be in bed." Hermoine coaxed,she knew Harry wanted to talk to Sirius alone.
"I'm not a baby,Hermoine,I'm perfectly capable of going to bed on my own ."Lucy said folding her arms across her chest,if there was one thing Lucy hated it was being treated like a baby .
"I just thought."Hermoine said her voice trailing off.
Ron snickered and Hermoine glared at him.
"I'm leaving before this turns into a full on fight."Peter said,he headed for the boys dormitory.
Lucy watched as Harry attempted to contact Sirius,but after a few times and no Sirius ,Lucy grew bored and headed off to bed.
**********************************************************************
The next day was a Hogsmeade Weekend,with promises to bring her back treats,Harry,Ron and Hermoine left Lucy standing in the courtyard .
Lucy sighed and pushed her hands in her pockets,she wished she was a third year or first years were allowed to go to Hogsmeade too. She headed back to the common room and bumped into the Pevensies,she was a little surprised to see Peter and Susan ,Edmund was a second year,so he wouldn't be able to go to Hogsmeade.
"What are you guys doing here." Lucy asked .
"We've been to Hogsmeade and it's miserable in the winter,where's Harry?" Susan asked.
"Hogsmeade."Lucy said .
Susan clucked her tonguer,"He left you,that's not very nice."
Lucy bristled even if Susan meant well it was still an awful thing to say about Harry as if he didn't even care about her.
"Harry is nice,I don't need him to stay behind and keep me company."Lucy said .
Susan blushed and Peter and Edmund smirked,hastily changing the subject Lucy asked them what it was like to grow up in a wizarding family.
They told her,then they asked her what it was like not only to grow up with Muggles and to have a famous brother.
"He's only famous in the Wizarding community,in Privet Drive he's just "that awful Potter boy" Lucy revealed.
"Lucy,do you remember your parents at all."Susan asked.
Lucy scrunched up her face and racked her mind trying to recall any memories of her parents,they were all too hazy and not one was clear enough to stand out in her shook her head sadly.
"I have a picture though,actually it's Harry's,but he gave it to me." she smiled brightly,but they could see the tears shining in her eyes.
"Harry says I have a bit of Mummy's hair in me and Daddy's eyes." she replied.
"I suppose that's good at least you have a picture of them."Peter said.
Lucy nodded . She suddenly had the urge to be alone,bidding them goodbye,she hurried away not to the common room,but to the owlery,where she burst into tears,not even sure why she was crying,but crying she was finished ,she took felt better. Taking a deep breath ,she headed downstairs,to the lavatory to wash her face and see what Harry and the others had bought back for her.
