Fight Club - Write about a secret club (restriction: not using any clubs during Umbridge's reign)
The secret Club of Hogwarts – 500 words
Adam was currently pacing in an empty classroom hidden away in a barely frequented corridor so far away from everything that it was questionable that anyone he hadn't told even knew that it exists. While he was wearing the non-existent rug thin with his pacing he was worried over what was about to happen. To be honest, he was fed up with the magical world and their ignorance over what muggles were capable of. Hogwarts didn't even teach anything muggle related like how to use a computer or how a car worked. The only thing they taught was during "Muggle Studies" and that knowledge was so outdated, that one might get the conclusion that they still thought them living in caves.
No, Adam didn't like that and so he had thought about something, a secret club here at Hogwarts right under the noses of those arrogant purebloods. A club designed to help those that came from the muggle world keeping up with where they came from. Sure, he wouldn't be able to get them a car to tinker with and learn about it but oh he had managed to smuggle a computer in in his trunk and maybe they even would be able to make it work despite the magic, or maybe with magic. Oh, wouldn't that be great having a computer working on magic? No more electricity needed, but he got side-tracked.
What really worried him was that either those blasted purebloods or the teachers would get wind of the club and either shun them for having it or outright forbid it. Adam had no idea what would be worse. He himself was a fifth year Muggleborn from a more upper-class household in London so it was no problem for him to get tutors over the summer holidays to keep up the schooling of the muggle world – hey he was a Ravenclaw for a reason. However, not everyone was so lucky and he knew quite a few students that wished they could keep up with the muggle world but whose parents weren't able to afford it, especially with how expensive Hogwarts was.
That was the reason for why he wanted to start this club, to teach them what he had the luxury to learn over the summers. Not only things like math or English was on his agenda but also things like working with a computer.
But then again he prayed that no one outside of those he had informed showed up.
Adam was ripped from his musing when a knock echoed through the bar a few desks and chairs empty classroom. He quickly called them in and watched with relieve that only those he asked had come.
"Welcome to the secret Club of Hogwarts," he greeted them once everyone found a place to sit. "First rule: You do not talk about the Club!"
