Harry woke up the next morning he couldn't help but thinking there had been someone in the room that shouldn't have been in there. When he went down into the common room he saw Fred and George talking to Ron Hermione and Ginny. Harry assumed it was about something that Fred and George were selling.
"So what happened?" Hermione asked the twins.
"I don't know we were on your way to the kitchen," Fred said.
"Once second we are walking," George continued.
"Then we are on the couch," Fred finished.
"Harry can we see your hand," Ginny asked. He showed them his left hand and to his amazement the scares were gone.
"Their gone," he said in shock as he looked at his head.
"It's the same for them," Ron said as Fred and George showed their own hands.
"You know last night I could have sworn someone was in our room and when I woke up our window was open," Harry said looking at Ron.
"Who do you think it was?" Harry asked.
"It would have to be a teacher and someone good with healing magic and wouldn't want people knowing that they helped you," Hermione said, "Maybe Professor Snape."
"No I don't that he would go out of his way to help me even under Dumbledore's orders," Harry said with the others agreeing with him, but Hermione didn't look convinced, "Maybe it was Dumbledore, maybe he didn't want us to know he knows what Umbridge has been doing."
They all went down to breakfast and saw something that made them feel sick to there, a notice had been posted:
All Student Organizations, Societies, Teams, Groups, and Clubs are henceforth disbanded. An Organization, Society, Team, Group, or Club is hereby defined as a regular meeting of three or more students. Permission to re-form may be sought from the High Inquisitor. No Student Organization, Society, Team, Group, or Club may exist without the knowledge and approval of the High Inquisitor. Any student found to have formed, or to belong to, an Organisation, Society, Team, Group, or Club that has not been approved by the High Inquisitor will be expelled.
"What do we do?" Ron asked Harry and Hermione.
"We continue on," Hermione said surprise the both of them, Fred and George just smiled.
"We will help spread the word," Fred started.
"Of such a joyous occasion," George finished. They tried their best to tell everyone that they were continuing the lessons but they had to be careful and they still need a place to use. It wasn't until a few days later when Harry crossed paths with Dobby, he had been sleeping in the commons room.
"Oh hi Dobby," Harry said stretching.
"Dobby is so happy to see Harry Potter," Dobby said smiling but his smile faltered as he looked up at Harry, "Is Harry Potter not happy to see Dobby, Sir?"
"No it's not that, I just have a problem," Harry said not sure how much to tell Dobby.
"Is there anything Dobby can do to help Sir?" Dobby asked sounding hopeful.
"I don't know…you wouldn't know anywhere we could practices magic without Umbridge finding out what we are doing," Harry asked but he wasn't hopeful. What he expected was Dobby to say there was he would see what he could do but it was doubtful. What he didn't expect was Dobby's eyes to light up his ears to wag.
"Dobby knows the perfect place, sir! Dobby heard tell of it from the house-elves when he came to Hogwarts, sir. It is known as the Come and Go Room, sir, or also as the Room of Requirement!" Dobby answered. Then he went on to continue to explain the room to Harry who was becoming more excited by the minute.
"If someone needed to use the bath room, would it fill itself with chamber pots?" Harry asked remembering what Dumbledore had said the year before.
"Dobby suspects," Dobby answered. Then Dobby continued to tell Harry where it was and how to enter it. Harry went off to bed unable to wait until he could tell the others of his discovery.
Dobby was about to leave the common rooms after he had finished cleaning it, but he was stopped by a blond girl, "take me to the room please," she said in a sweet voice.
"Dobby doesn't know, miss," he said looking down at his feet. Naruko kneeled down lifted Dobby's head up to look into her eyes.
"Dobby, I promise I won't do anything to hurt your friend," she said smiling at him, "I would rather die than cause him harm."
After a second Dobby seemed to believe her, "Dobby will take miss to the room," he said smiling. He took her to the seventh floor and they went unseen by anyone. As they stood there Naruko turned to Dobby.
"There is just one more thing I need to ask of you," Naruko said.
"Anything for miss," Dobby said he had really taken a liking to her in the short time that he had known her.
"You can't tell anyone about me," she said kindly, Dobby looked as her with confusion.
"Dobby will try," he said smiling at her.
"And I know you will do me proud Dobby," she said smiling back, "I should be going. I will see you around Dobby," she vanished from his sight.
The next morning Harry after he dressed he hurried down to tell Ron and Hermione about what he had learned from Dobby. Hermione didn't seem all that confident in Dobby after what had happened in their second year. But when Harry told her that Dumbledore had told him about it then she seemed more interested. After they finished dinner they went to were Dobby told them the room was. Once inside they knew what they were doing was right. Over the next few days they told others where and when it would be.
When the night came Harry Ron and Hermione went to the room to wait for the others. But what they didn't know there was someone already in the room. Naruko hide deep in the room keeping a watchful eye on them.
Soon more people started to show up, and when the last of them showed up, Harry tried to get their attention but he resorted to using a whistle then everyone fell silent.
"We need a name to create unity and so we can talk about outside of meetings so people don't know what we are talking about," Hermione said.
"How about the Ministry stinks," someone said.
"Or the Anti-Umbridge brigade," someone else suggested.
"I was thinking something that didn't tell everyone what we are doing," Hermione said.
"How about the Defense Association or the DA for short, so nobody knows what we are talking about," Cho Chang said.
"Yeah, the DA's good. Only let's make it stand for Dumbledore's Army, because that's the Ministry's worst fear isn't it?" Ginny said. Naruko could see this ending badly not just for them but Dumbledore she would have to tell Snape-San so he could warn Dumbledore.
"Okay the DA, so now we need a select a leader," Hermione said.
"Harry's the leader," Cho said.
"I know but we need a vote to make it more official," Hermione said, "okay let's vote who thinks Harry should be the leader?" Everyone raised their hands.
"Thanks Hermione, is there anything else you would like to bring up before we get started?" Harry asked looking around but no one said anything, "Okay we are going to start off with the basics. So split up into pairs and to practice disarming spell, Expelliarmus."
And Harry was right to start with this spell; people were having enough trouble with this spell. Harry went around correcting everyone. Naruko was watching but her eyes were no longer blue, they where red with three rings and nine tomoe. She decided to give it a try she pulled out the wand that Snape had given her. 'Kage Bunshin no Jutsu,' a clone appeared beside her. She pointed the wand at herself, 'Expelliarmus,' there was a flash of red light and she the wand flew out of her clones hand and with the noise she went unnoticed. She smiled to herself; she would have to ask Snape to teacher more advance spells. The wand had been if she had been caught she could try to act like a student Snape never thought that she would actually be able to use it.
At the end of the lesson Harry called them to attention, "you all did every good but we are going to have to stop here for tonight and as of now we will meet here same time next week."
"No sooner," someone called out to him, but Harry pointed out that Qudditch was starting soon so they agreed on once a week until they could figure something else out. After they all left Naruko left her hiding place and started reading the books that were in the room. She sat down on some of the cushions, they were so comfortable she fell asleep with the book in hand.
