Chapter 9 - Dumbledore's Army
Luna skipped out of the Ravenclaw common room and into the corridor, her dirty blone hair flying out behind her. She skipped down the stairs, and out of the front door, into the grounds of Hogwarts. Luna was just about to go down to see the Unicorns that Professor Grubbly-Plank had for the third years lessons. Just as Luna had reached them, and her hand was out streached to stroke one, her pocket suddenly felt very hot agaist her leg. She let her hand fall, and reached into her pocket, and pulled out her hot, glowing galleon. Luna imedietly saw (she was in Ravenclaw for a reason) that it was her DA coin, and Harry had put in the date and time of the first meeting. Luckily she had run into Larissa and Hermione earlier on, so she knew to where they would meet, before Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Larissa would show every one where the Room of Requirement was, and how to get into it. Luna smiled, put the now rapidly cooling galleon back in her pocket, and lifted her hand once more, to stroke the patiently waiting Unicorn.

The list for Dumbledore's Army was long. Harry was very nervous, as he wasn't naturally a leader. But having to teach thirty four people... He would have Hermione and Ron to help though. Larissa wouldn't be much help, as she was only a third year, but she was encouraging Harry, and helping with finding spells in books with Hermione.
Larissa, Amelia, Catherine, and Emily made their way down to the Forbidden Forrest. Ron had been a put skeptical about Harry's choise of meeting place, but Hermione had insisted that it would look very suspicious if thirty five students from three different houses gathered somewhere. The students from the different houses didn't normally interact that much with each other, so it would indeed, look suspicious. They went through a couple of trees and found Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Luna, Ginny, Will, and Matthew already there with a few other students that Larissa didn't know the names of. So after introductions, the rest of the DA had arrived and in small groups in their houses, they followed Harry's instructions and went up to the RoR. Larissa, Amelia, Catherine, and Emily went first so Larissa could open the room. She then hid under Harry's cloak and told the students what to do when they came up. She was glad that they would only have to do this once.
Once everyone was in the RoR Harry stood on a chair that had suddenly appeared next to him and tried to quieten every one down. Larissa picked up a whistle that had appeared next to Harry and blew it. Everyone stopped. She handed the whistle to Harry.
'Thanks.'
'No prob.'
'Right, so welcome to the first meeting of the DA. Today, I'll just be assesing your abilities, and if you have any questions just ask me, Hermione, Ron or Larissa. Every one line up, and we can practice dis arming.' He motioned to Hermione, and she went up to the front with Harry where they demonstraited how to dis arm.
'Larissa, and Terry.'
Larissa went up and looked at Terry Boot, who was at the other end of the room.
'Expelliarmus!' he said, and Larissa's wand shot out of her hand. She glared at him, and then picked it up.
'Okay, so pair up, and who ever manages it first out of you both, go over to the right side of the room. The other, the left side.
Larissa went over to Amelia, and they practiced
'Expelliarmus.' Amelia whispered so that it was barely audiable, and she did the wand movement almost behind her back, so that it still looked natural but sutbly. Larissa's wand again was ripped from her hand. She didn't have the heart to glare at her best friend.
'Great technique Amelia.' Harry said as he passed by. She went to stand on the right side of the room, while Larissa went to stand on the left. Larissa was soon joined by half of the others, and she watched as Harry told the other group to do the same again. He then came over to help the group that Larissa was in.
'Show me how you're doing it.' He said to Fred, he moved along the line and then finally got to Larissa. 'Show me,'
Larissa took hold of her wand and said 'Expelliarmus,'
'You're flourishing your wand too much. Try it like this. Expelliarmus' He said placing his hand over Larissa's and doing the wand movement.
'Expelliarmus.' Larissa said
'Better.' Harry said with a smile 'You'll get the hang of it soon, don't worry.'
Soon the lesson was over and Harry blew the whistle, and the room fell silent once more. 'Great. We'll meet again soon, keep your coins on you, but don't spend them. SInce we're going to be moving quite quickly in these lessons, if you or I feel you need any help with anything, just let me know and I will help you, or get someone to help you. So, I will see you all soon.'
Everyone said their good byes and left the Room of Requirement until the next DA lesson.
A/N: Yay the first DA lesson! Did you like it? I got the names of the members from Wiki I think, and then added my characters in.
I thought I'd made Larissa a bit too perfect so I decided that she should struggle with some of the spells.
