It was now time to board the train. Adelaine got settled in her compartment and said goodbye to Lee and went to the prefect's meeting.

She noticed Hermione had gotten prefect for Gryffindor but she was quite surprised to see Ron was the male prefect for Gryffindor. They had to replace Cedric with Katie's date for the Yule Ball, Cory.

Cory was a tow headed boy with hazel eyes. He had a muscular build but he was quite short at least short compared to Adelaine.

They did their rounds.

Adelaine went back to her compartment and sat next to Lee who in turn wrapped his arm around her.

"So, Hermione is the female prefect for Gryffindor but I'm surprised that Ron was the male prefect."

Fred commented. "Mum wouldn't shut up about it when he got his letter."

"Don't get us wrong, we're proud of him but now we're the only ones who weren't prefects though being a prefect does take some of the fun out of life," George smirked at his friend.

"I've let you get away with a few minor things, thanks to Lee and those puppy dog eyes," Adelaine sighed.

Lee blushed at his girlfriend's comment. They continued riding to Hogsmeade and took the carriages to Hogwarts.

Like every year, they had a new Defense teacher her name was Dolores Umbridge. Not only did she wear Adelaine's least favorite color pink and her voice was so annoying but those would be the least of everyone's worries.

It was now the first defense lesson. Thankfully, Adelaine had the class with the Gryffindors so Lee greeted her with a kiss on the cheek.

"I'd appreciate that you wouldn't show affection in my classroom," Umbridge tutted.

Lee took his seat next to Adelaine. The rest of the class filed in.

Umbridge said her whole spiel, Adelaine was this close to walking out or hexing her. Lee was holding her hand under the table trying to calm her down he knew she usually had a very slow fuse but when you mention Cedric's murder in such a manner especially mere months after his murder.

Although, he was rather close to walking out as well. This is one of his favorite subjects, it's not one of his best but he still loved it.

The class ended not soon enough for Adelaine.

"Merlin, that was worse then History of Magic," Lee said, wrapping his arm around Adelaine trying to calm her down.

"Tell me about it, how dare she talk about Cedric's death in that manner," Adalaine said fiercely.

Fred glanced at Lee and asked. "Do you realize how scary your girlfriend is when she's angry?"

"That's old news, Weasley!" Adelaine snapped.

The twins flinched slightly reminded of how their mum was when she was angry.

It was now the first Hogsmeade weekend, everyone was meeting at the Hogs Head for some reason.

"I wonder why Harry is having us meet here."

Lee shrugged and said. "I don't know, love."

They walked into the Hogs Head. It was quite full.

"Uhm, hi, you all know why we're here. We need a teacher. A proper teacher. One who's had real experience defending themselves against the Dark Arts," Hermione said, nervously.

"I've defeated the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets," he said, glancing at Adelaine and Leslie briefly then continuing. "I can cast a corporal patronus and I won the tournament and I dueled Voldemort."

Many people noticeably flinched.

"We were going need to keep this a secret, sign this list," Hermione said.

Fred was the first to sign it, others soon followed. The meeting broke up. Dobby a house elf helped Harry summon the Room of Requirement. That's where they met the first time.

"What shall we call ourselves?" Harry asked.

"The Defence Association? The DA for short, so nobody knows what we're talking about?" Cho suggested.

"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.

Harry nodded.

They started off with something simple which was the Disarming spell. It was rather simple although Adelaine noticed Neville was having a bit of trouble.

It was now after the second meeting of the DA. Adelaine noticed that Lee is being slightly distant with her again. She knows the twins noticed too, I mean they were his best friends after all.

"Adelaine?" George asked.

She turned to the ginger twins and asked."Yes?"

"Have you noticed anything different about Lee lately?"

Adelaine nodded and said. "Yes, I notice that he only seems to use his left arm to be affectionate."

"Yeah, he's been uncharacteristically quiet," Fred remarked.

Adelaine nodded. They decided to tell McGonagall.

Presently, they were in her office drinking tea in her office.

"So, Mr. Jordan. Your friends and girlfriend seemed to be very worried about you," McGonagall said, glancing between the three Gryffindors and one Hufflepuff seventh year.

Despite them being pranksters, she was secretly quite fond of the two gingers and the dreadlocked boy. She was also quite fond of the Hufflepuff girl as well.

"I'm fine, professor," he insisted.

"Are you sure about that, Mr. Jordan?"

Lee got up from the chair and turned away from his professor, best friends and girlfriend.

"Mr. Jordan?" McGonagall asked again.

He wasn't used to being this type of emotional in front Fred and George and certainly not McGonagall.

Adelaine on the other hand, he can feel free to be this way in front of her. So, he was caught between hiding his negative emotions and wearing his heart on his sleeve.

"Lee?" Adelaine asked, softly.

He turned to his girlfriend and fiddled with the sleeve of his robe nervously.

"What is it?" Adelaine asked.

He pulled up his sleeve to reveal scars on his wrist that said. 'I must not be a smart mouth'.

There were audible gasps from McGonagall, Fred, George and Adelaine.

"It was Umbridge she made me use a blood quill during my detention when I told her off for going off her subject," he sighed, sitting down next to Adelaine.

"Why didn't you tell us sooner?" Adelaine asked, sounding a little hurt.

The twins looked hurt as well but in their minds they were already planning revenge on Umbitch for hurting their best friend.

Lee glanced at his girlfriend and best friends and said. "I tried millions of times, honestly."

"Have you used Murtlap Essence on it yet?" McGonagall asked.

Lee nodded and said. "Yes, I did. Harry suggested it to me."

McGonagall nodded and said. "You four are excused."

The four of them left the office.

"I'm really sorry for not telling you guys sooner," he apologized to his friends and girlfriend.

"Don't worry about it, mate, we're already planning revenge," Fred told him, patting his back.

Lee nodded.

"Are you upset, love?"

"Just a little hurt, I suppose but that doesn't matter at this point."

Lee nodded. Adelaine had a feeling Lee was just putting up a front for the twins. She'll eventually get him to open up and when she does Umbridge better watch out.
