A/n it's M for a reason you've been warned.
Trigger warning PTSD and panic attack happen in this chapter you've been warned.
Chapter start
Harry got up early the next day and went down to breakfast. As he sat down McGonigall gave Harry his schedule. And said to him
"After breakfast before your first class The headmaster would like to talk to you." She said
Harry nodded and turned back to his meal.
After he finished he headed to the headmaster's office and the door opened
Albus smiled at him
"Good morning harry." He said kindly
Harry smiled back
"Is it ready?" He asked
Albus nodded and looked to the pensive
Harry nodded and with a regretful look on his face he oblivate Albus.
Harry smiled as kindly as possible as the dazed looked in Albus's eyes went away.
"It was a very good meeting we had headmaster." Harry said as he walked out.
Albus sat stunned as Harry left the office. He spoke of a meeting but he couldn't remember…
'His memory… he'd been obviated!
'But why?' His next question was to himself
As he tried to think of an answer he found a paper on his desk he didn't remember putting there. But he must've it was his writing
On it only had three words
Trust Harry Potter.
Albus narrowed his eyes he would follow the papers advice… but he wouldn't sit idily
If Harry Potter was doing something then it most likely ment something to do with Voldemort…
That or the school is In trouble…
But the thing that confused him
If either one of those was a possibility… why go through the trouble to oblivate him?'
Harry walked down to his class which was DADA.
He stepped in just in time to hear "Professor" Umbridge go over the course aims.
" one! To understand the principles of defensive magic.
Two! To learn to recognize when Defensive magic can legally be used.
And finally…placing the use of defensive magic into practical everyday use." She said as she looked up
"Ah mr potter you've finally joined us. Please sit down would you like to tell us exactly where you have been and the reason for your lateness Mr. potter?"
Harry looked at Umbridge and said simply
"I had a meeting with the headmaster to which I was excused." Harry said
Umbridge scoffed
"I don't see any reason as to why that would matter." She said
"Well it's the-." Harry started but Umbridge shushed him
"Tut tut Mr. Potter please take your seat and we can get on with the class." She said
As Harry sat down Hermione had her hand raised the entire time.
"Yes ms?" Umbridge asked sweetly
"Granger…Professor the course aims…they don't state anything about learning to cast defensive magic."
Umbridge giggled
"Oh I should surely hope not! This is a school a place of safety whatever reason do you have to think about casting defensive spells." Umbridge asked
"I can name a few." Harry said
Umbridge snapped a look at Harry. Glaring at him like a dragon
"You were not here when I went over my pet peeves Mr. Potter, but in this class room we raise our hands before we talk."
Harry rolled his eyes and raised his hand.
Umbridge smiled her anger completely gone.
"Yes Mr Potter."
"Defensive spells have a myriad of uses in everyday life it's actually the most Broad term of magic possible. ANY spell can be used in a defensive senanario it's just the creative mind of the caster and intent, that matters, an example certain spells are labeled as Charms, Jinx's, and hexes. But all of them can be used in self defense."
Umbridge tilted her head "I'm not sure what your getting at Mr Potter."
"I'll continue then. There are let's say 5 spells a list of spells that can be used for anything at all and I'll give an example of how it can be used defensively and trying to restrict the ability to not teach us to Cast Defensive spells is a task in the impossible and it trying to restrict magic itself." Harry said
Umbridge looked livid but smiled sickly
"Very well Mr Potter. Let's see how you like these then." Umbridge said as she waved her wand at the board a list of spells appered
Reducto.
Avada kavada
Protego
Lumos
Wingardium Leviosa
Harry starred looking at the board and sighed
"Very well let's start with the Easy one first Protego is already a defensive spell something we should be learning this year. And while yes it's able to block most spell fire it's also known to blocked/ deflect thrown projectiles to insure they don't hurt the caster. Say if a stone was to fall on your head you could cast it so it landed next to you and not on say your head." Harry stated matter of factly.
Umbridge was shaking in rage but urged Harry to continue
"Next we will talk about the next obvious but even less likely to be used for being able to abuse it is very easy and it not backfiring in the long term is slim to none. I'm talking about the only unforgivable on this list. The killing curse."
Harry spoke in a tangent.
"While the ministry does broadcast the law they are still the same that being that of Self defense. If you are under attack and you can't get away, as well as you feel that your life is threatened in that instant. You have the choice to Kill your attacker to save your own."
The entire room froze no one hear of that law and Hermione was thinking hard as to where she heard it from.
Umbridge sputtered "w-what law is that mr potter because I can assure you it doesn't exist."
"Wizarding charter of 1307 Pragrath vs Vincent the law passed from this case was the Biview law it's stated in chapter 37 of Ministry of Magic's 3rd volume of Laws of the ministries founding. The set of Eight volume's were the laws that wizards followed before the foundation of the ministry of magic co-opted and fused with the corpus Julius civilus to create the laws that all wizards follow to this day."
Umbridge was stunned "Mr. Potter I had no idea you were such a scholar of Wizard law." She said
"He's not." A voice said as everyone turned to see Devon holding his staff, his Druid robes on full display.
"But I am." He said
"I'm sorry who are you?" Umbridge asked
"Devon Oakland don't bother trying to look into the class list for my name you won't find it." He said as he strode forward
"I'm sorry Mr Oakland but class is in session no visitors are allowed on the grounds at this time."
"Oh I'm a student I'm just not in this class." Devon said standing by Harry.
"Harry Potter is correct about the Biview law as well as the other laws that make what you are doing here illegal. Hogwarts charter. Ministry charter, even Magical law itself. You will have to correct the course aims before next class or serious repercussions will be dealt." Devon said
Umbridge scowled "oh and tell me what is this "magical law. You speak of. I've never heard of it."
Devon smiled
"Why the law of magickal theory of course." Devon said as he pulled a scroll out and read it out.
"This is the called the same in all three documents. It states "magic cannot be taught my verbal command and knowledge alone. Practical aspects must be done for safety reasons. All classes at Hogwarts must have an even split of half Lecture, half Practical lessons.
Countuning on to the year 1812 Professor where the law was repealed for an term for an incident like this and as a result 15 students and one teacher lost their lives in final exams because they tried to cast incendio but instead cast combusto! The repel report goes as follows
"In light of recent revelations that the class of 1812 where one Professor Fizsborn and 15 others lost there lives. The board of governors after an extensive inspection have concluded that Gross negligence on part of the teacher was preformed FOR REFUSAL to teach the students the way of defensive magic under the obligation that they join the Muggle force in America against them. In this we have found Ms Fizsborn to go against the policy of the school and have gone about to rectify it." Devon said
"Each DADA class will have 1 hours of non class time for students to go over practical uses of the spells learned in class Fully supervised. Or if this is unacceptable a full second entire class based around Practical casting of all magical forms including defensive." Devon said
"This law is still in effect and hasn't been enforced except in one year that being in 1993 by Professor Remus Lupin." Devon said
"His appointment here was illegal as he was a werewolf!" Umbridge snapped
"And yet he is ranked the best Defense Professor in the past 10 years even better than you. Do you want that on your record?" Devon asked
Umbridge growled
"My best advice is to start a dueling club and have all the students come to it, heck you don't have to teach it. To you it won't exist." Devon said
"That contradicts every reason for me being here!" Umbridge snapped
Devon looked at her sharply
"Oh and what reason is that Umbridge because I believe the reason is to teach us defense against the dark arts?" Devon said
Umbridge knowing she was cornered tried to deflect and get the argument back on her side
"Listen here I will not have my classroom be disrupted and falsely taught by a toddler in a bathrobe!" She snapped
"Oh shit." Hermione swore.
"Duck!" Harry snapped as he dove under the desk
Everyone who was senseable followed suit.
Unfortunately for Slytheryn many of them were not.
"BATHROBE!?" Devon exploded! As his magic ripped through the school like a hot knife through tissue paper
Devon strode forward his steps cracking the stone work beneath as the school tried desperately to repair the damage.
"Listen to me in my culture this robe is a mark of pride! It's a mark of maturity. Lesser men have waited 3 decades to get this robe. And some I know still don't have it! This is not some Select robe, this is a symbol that shows Magick. is. king.
"The next time you insult my culture or family. I'll make you a squib in more ways than one." Devon said
Umbridge nodded dumbly as he walked away.
Umbridge snarled at the class "for homework read the first two chapters of the text! And Mr potter detention for being late." She said as she stormed off.
Devon sighed "don't worry Harry I'll write to the board of governors about this." He said as he left.
Harry had a sinking feeling in his gut.
That night devon was up in the owlery finishing up his letter and sent it off on a school owl to the board of governors to be notified that Umbridge wasn't following charter. As he left the Owlery he didn't notice a Beam of spell fire shoot the owl down as it crashed to the ground the Letter flew off to Umbridge's hand as she stood on the balcony with a sweetly smile on her face.
The next day Harry woke up and found devon pacing around the room.
"What is it?" Harry asked as he got dressed.
"The board of governors should have gotten back to me by now. They take this sort of thing seriously." He said as he walked down the stairs
Hermione who was following them spoke up
"It's probably that they are just bogged down with other inquiries. They probably get a lot everyday I bet by breakfast we will get the reply." Hermione said
Devon nodded and headed down to the great hall.
That morning The headmaster made an announcement
"It has come to my attention that several dangerous mail orders have been sent out and have arrived at unsuspecting students who have opened them. As of right now 3 students from Slytheryn, 2 from Hufflepuff and 1 from Gryffindor are in the hospital wing and will remain there for sometime fortunately all Ravenclaw students have the foresight to check there mail before opening them. However Due to this fact I am forced to require that all mail being sent to and from the owlery be vetted to prevent dangerous situations from occurring again." He said
Devon was shaking in rage he knew that this was connected but he couldn't prove it.
Harry judging from Albus's reaction looked as if he didn't want to do this.
From that the mail actually started to come in for the day and Harry watched as a letter landed in front of him.
Ginny looked over to Harry and with a tight grip on his hand he opened the letter. He expected probably a report from the minister about the war on Voldemort or perhaps an question for aid but instead it was something worse
"Your detention will take place in my office tonight at 5 pm."
Harry sighed and gave the others the bad news which they accepted Harry turned to Hermione "have everyone get ready at the classroom at 7 after dinner. If anyone asks we will calling it a sanctioned club with Snape being teacher but he had to leave to check up on an injured student." Harry said
Hermione nodded "I'll get a letter ready so we can square our cover story." She said
Harry looked at the staff table and saw Umbridge looking directly at Harry as she smiled and waved happy as can be
Harry didn't take a single bite of Breakfast.
The class ended with Snape deducting only 25 points from Gryffindor. As Harry spent extra time packing away his equipment as Snape stormed back in still in charater
"Potter what are you still doing here?" He asked
"Sorry professor I wanted to check on my caldron and I think some of it spilled on my letter can you clean it for me?"
Snape snatched the letter muttering that he should know the spell by now
When he waved it Snape found the Letter addressed to the DA. Snape looked around to make sure no one was there then nodded before he dismissed himself to his office.
Harry walked out of his final class of the day and sighed he was done with classes but he still had detention with Umbridge. Then the meeting after that.
He just hoped he could get news on Voldemort soon enough.
Harry and the others went off to their common rooms to study before the DA meeting took place. It blew through the school that the DA was meeting tonight and everyone from 3rd year and above were hoping to attend.
The students watched him as he walked through the halls but he paid them no mind. Why would he
He entered Umbridge's office and looked at him.
"Ah Mr. Potter please step right in." She said
Harry did so and Umbridge waved her wand and shut the door with a loud bang as Harry grabbed his head to decrease his headache
"Mr. Potter is something wrong?" Umbridge asked
Harry thought for a moment maybe something was wrong… this headache had come on rapidly something that he knew Ginny would have warned him about
'Ginny!'
Suddenly he understood as he looked around
All the windows were shut.
The door was closed and Harry noticed glowing Runes on the door.
Warding magic these ruins he recognized from class was those that prevent or block magic from summoning Demons or other creatures…
Apparently the Soul bond counted as something like that.
"Mr Potter?" Umbridge asked again trying to get his attention
Harry turned around to face her.
"Thank you. Now is there a reason you're studying my door rather than getting to your work?" She asked
"I Um…don't have any homework to do Professor." Harry said
"Well why about your textbook surely you can read ahead about the chapters?" She said
Harry's headache was getting worse he was getting dizzy and could barely focus.
"I Um…I left my books back at the dorm? May I go see madam Pompey?" Harry asked
Umbridge tutted at him
"Mr Potter you still have another hour of time with me. Very well if you have nothing else to do I guess other forms of disciplinary action's will have to do." Umbridge said as she walked over to her desk and dropped a piece of parchment and a quill
"Write the words, I will not be late, and underneath that I will not disrupt the class while the teacher is talking." Umbridge said having turned away from her
"How many times?" Harry asked
"Just enough for it to sink in." She replied as she sat at her desk and opened a large bag and started to sort through what appears to be mail.
Who knew Umbridge could have so much…it might have been more than Lockhart's…
No on second thought maybe not…but still why so much?
Umbridge coughed
"Mr potter I'm afraid you won't find this to be very interesting at all please set about to your work otherwise I'll have to keep you here until it is done."
Harry winced having not felt this helpless sense before he came to Hogwarts Harry started to write on the parchment
Only it wasn't appearing on his paper but his hand. Still he kept writing
Meanwhile in the Gryffindor common room Devon looked up to see Ginny acting antsy not able to sit still and always massassing her right hand for some reason.
After 5 minutes of this he put the book he was reading about plant magic he had borrowed from Neville down and went to her.
Devon put an arm of comfort over her
"Ginny what's wrong?" He asked
Ginny shook her head
"I'm…im not sure…I'm not this antsy normally nor when I'm away from Harry but I am now." Ginny said
"What is he doing now?" Devon asked
Ginny tried to look into the bond was appered to be forced out.
"Im not sure, he won't let me check, he…he was harsher than he was last time though." Ginny said
Devon looked at Ginny "last time?" He asked
"During the resurrection he cut the link to ensure I didn't feel anything but at the same time his comfort was still there. This time it's cold like I'm naked outside on a Snowy evening." Ginny said
Devon looked worried "come on Ginny let's get you to see madam Pompey." He said as he helped her stand up
Only for Ginny to pitch forward and smash the table in the common room
"Ginny!" Devon screamed alerting the others.
Seeing the urgency of the situation and hearing the noise Ron rushed down followed by Hermione
"What happened?" He asked
"I don't know she just collapsed." Devon answered.
Hermione looked around "guys we should go to madam Pompey." She said as she realized they were attracting a lot of attention.
They nodded and left for the portrat hole.
Only for the doors to shut ahead if them.
"Hey! What the hell?!" Ron asked pounding on the Back of the painting
"I'm afraid that won't do you any good Mr Weasley." One of the portraits said
"What do you mean what's happening?" Hermione asked
"Hogwarts sees a threat inside the school and she is doing all she can to protect the lives inside of her now." The portrait said
"But we have an injured student surely you can do something."
"I'm afraid until the Alarm is lifted no students shall be allowed to leave there common rooms." The portrait said.
Hermione and the others looked to each other.
Back in the classroom
Harry grit his teeth through the pain but it didn't help nothing did. As he was forced to drop the quill as his headache got worse and nearly blew into a full migraine.
Umbridge looked up to see Harry nearly catatonic he called to him
On the fifth time he looked up
His eyes bloodshot and achy
Umbridge smiled
"I think that's enough lines for now please come here." She said
Harry stood up but nearly fell back in his chair his legs felt weak and his hand felt numb.
Something was very very wrong.
But he pushed onwards not wanting to get in more trouble.
He stood in front of Umbridge who held out a letter. Before him.
"Mr Potter, do you know what this is?"
It was a single envelope addressed to him
He also recognized a ministry sigil on it.
Amelia had indeed written to him.
'So perhaps there is hope.' He thought
Umbridge smiled
"I see you recognize it." She said
Harry tried to reach out for it but she pulled it away from him
"Now now Mr. Potter where are your manners? Surely your parents taught you at least something growing up." She said
Harry dropped his hands to his side as Umbridge went on a short tangent.
(trigger warning now)
Harry started to sway in as Umbridge coughed at him.
"Well seeing as this letter isn't that important to you." She said
Harry lurched forward reaching out.
"No wait!-"
It was too late as it the letter left Umbridge's hand and flew into the fireplace. As Harry stood rooted in the spot. Helpless as he stood there.
Suddenly he wasn't at Hogwarts but his home at Privet drive. And Umbridge wasn't there but before him was uncle Vernon Glairing at him adamantly visibly angry.
"Boy!? Are you don't day dreaming?!"
Harry winced "s-sorry uncle." Harry said meekly
'It was all a dream…Hogwarts didn't exist…there was no magic. No Ron, Hermione, Sirius, no one who loved him.
No Ginny…
His life meant nothing…
He was nothing…
There was nothing for him to do but-
Smack!
Suddenly he was back at Hogwarts Umbridge up in his face vivid
"Look at me when speaking to you boy!" She hissed
Harry shrank down and nodded meekly
"Listen to me well. You are worthless, you don't have any special powers. No people who care for you, no one who loves you. You are just an orphan that everyone has taken pity on and that's it. The ministry hates you. You do nothing but cry wolf. Understand? You-know-who is not back." Umbridge said
Harry staired at the floor trying to determine the voices in his head.
He heard the voice of His uncle but he spoke in ways he knew he'd never dare.
Before he could question what was real anymore he was sent jerking to the present by Umbridge grabbing him
"Do you hear me?!" She asked
Harry nodded
Umbridge stepped away.
"Good now let this be a lesson for you. Off you go." Umbridge said this time her smile wasn't present.
Harry got his breath under control and then he took off running once he realized that Umbridge was trying to raise her wand.
Once he left the Door he felt everything crashing into him. As he fell in his head he heard Ginny screaming his name.
(Trigger end!)
In the Dorm
Ginny laid on Ron's lap as he brushed his sisters hair the other two were whispering trying to figure out what was wrong.
Suddenly a loud burst of coughing came from Ginny as the 3 looked over to her
Ron was brushing her head "Ginny Ginny are you ok? Is there anything-?"
He paused as Ginny turned towards Ron and emptied her stomach onto his lap
Ron looked disgusted but also had a war happening on his face. Shove Ginny off and clean himself? Or comfort Ginny and sit there.
Eventually Helping his sister won out as he kept brushing her hair with a smoothing smile.
Suddenly however Ginny lurched up "HARRY?!" She screamed before she pitched forward
Ron was fortunate to catch her and looked to Hermione and Devon.
Devon took Ginny as Hermione picked up the mess.
Ron nodded greatful to her.
Suddenly the portrait spoke.
"The lockdown has been lifted." The portrait said
All four of them got to there feet and nodded to each other as they left the common room.
They found Harry on the ground as they ran over.
"Harry?!" Hermione called as she ran to him Ron followed
Devon looked around the hall.
"Why is he here? This is the complete opposite way from either Umbridge's office or the common room." He said
Ginny turned to him
"Devon please!" She called
Devon snapped a look up
"Follow me." He said as he lead them into an empty classroom where they would be having the DA meeting.
They pulled up a seat and sat down as Ginny and Harry laid together.
Eventually Harry opened his eyes and saw Ginny looking over him as well as Ron and Hermione.
"Ginny?" He asked
Ginny rubbed his cheek
"I'm here love." She said
Harry smiled
He tried to sit up but Ginny stopped him "no don't you dare." She said
Harry sighed and laid back down
Ginny pushed Harry over to lay next to him but he flinched away.
Ginny looked hurt but hid it well.
"H-harry are you ok?" Ginny asked
Harry refused to look at her knowing if he did he'd not be able to stop himself.
Ginny froze, this was not the Harry she knew.
Thinking she did something wrong she started to cry.
"H-harry."
"Stop." Harry said
Ginny looked up
"It's not your fault. Just…give me a bit." Harry said
Ginny nodded "ok harry… will you let me in again? I…I miss you." She said
Harry stilled "in a bit Ginny." Harry said
Ginny nodded and walked away as Devon was talking to Hermione and Ron
Devon looked up
"What happened?" He asked
"Harry doesn't want to talk right now." Ginny said looking gloomy
Devon sighed
"We will give him a bit of time then we can go over what we will at the meeting." He said
"Oh that's right We didn't get dinner." Ron said
Suddenly Ron's stomach growled "sorry guys." He said
Devon nodded "we should get food before it disappears. Harry?" Devon asked
"Go on ahead guys…I'm not hungry…" Harry said sounding defeated.
The others looked around at each other. Harry was always hungry…for him not to be was odd. Very odd.
"Ok Harry…we will save you a plate." Devon said as they stood up and walked out.
Once they left Ginny started to cry on his shoulder. As Devon held her.
They went to the great hall just as the food was about to vanished infact right as they sat down it did finish.
Ron groaned as The headmaster stood up
"Before we go, I'd like to say a few words about what happened this afternoon. As I'm sure many of you are aware the Common rooms were Locked due to a warning set by Hogwarts. However we found no trace of anything harmful to the students. However we will remain looking and catch the perpetrator in this. Have a good night all. And one last thing I've gotten word that The Dueling oriented Defense Association is meeting for the first time this week on the first floor at 8 all houses are welcome above 3rd year." Albus smiled
"That's all have a good night everyone." He said
Everyone shuffled up as the 4 sat at the table Professor McGonigall walked over to them sternly.
"Follow me you 4." She said
The four lead them to her office as she stepped in and sat down.
"I have no idea what is wrong with you never in my years have I had so bad of prefects I had to personally escort the years to the great hall because I couldn't find you two. Not only that but you didn't show up for dinner and still no idea where Mr Potter is." Merniva said
At the incidents of Harry's name the same Ginny held back broke as she started to weep.
McGonagall was shocked at the reaction and calmed down turning to Devon an air of Seriousness and Concern etched on her face
"Tell me what happened." She said
They explained what they knew and this had McGonagall sigh.
"I see it's now understandable why you skipped dinner. Still I won't allow my lions to go hungry," McGonigall said as she ordered an elf to bring up food for them
The Elf appeared to be Dobby. And 2 other elf Who was dressed not at all like the rest of the rest of the elves the other two elves wore Hogwarts crests and pillowcases only because they couldn't afford to give the elves anything more.
Dobby looked like a small English Butler with a suit and tie.
Wearing the Potter Crest.
"D-Dobby?" Ginny asked
Dobby looked up
"Mistress Ginny! It's good to see you again." He said as he gave them their food.
"Please give Master Harry, the word that if he is hungry he only has to call." He said as he snapped away.
Ginny sighed as Hermione glaired at her
"You have an house elf?"
Ginny shrugged "I didn't know. But it helps us out as we have no one to look after the Potter Manor when we are at School now Dobby can do it…oh knock it off Hermione there is no way we will be as bad as Malfoy." Ginny said
"What I'm courious about is why he's the potter elf?" Ginny asked
"That's what you worried about?" Hermione asked
Ginny rounded on Hermione. But devon beat her to it
" Hermione she's trying to distract herself, please," Devon said
Hermione looked shamed as Ginny grunted as kept eating as Devon talked to McGonigall as to what they knew."
"And your sure you felt this after 5?" McGonigall asked
Ginny nodded
McGonagall hissed giving an image of her cat form.
"Very well. I think it's time you head off the club you started will be meeting soon." McGonigall said
The four got back to the room and they entered they heard crying as They crossed the threshold they saw Harry curled up in fetal position crying.
Ginny ran to him
"Oh harry!" She said
Harry didn't look up but he did roll into her allowing himself to almost shrink in his chest.
"Harry…please…let me help love." Ginny begged
This time Harry didn't refuse he just opened the bond up
And what Ginny saw made her sob and weep
Ron, Hermione and Devon were going over information about the meeting when they heard a heart piercing sob from Ginny making all of them on alert.
"Ginny." Ron said
Devon was up in an instant and running over to them.
When he was done he looked ready to go to war.
"You two follow me." He said as he waved his hand to make sure They were not disturbed.
Devon, Ron and Hermione stood over at the far side of the room.
"Ok here's the deal Harry had an PTSD panic attack induced by Umbridge during his detention."
Hermione gasped
Ron looked livid.
" he's in no shape to teach. So I will take over for tonight. You guys watch over him. It's just going to be a brief overview and teaching the new people who come what we are about." Devon said
Finally the time for the DA to start arrived as Hermione and Ron stayed with Harry to talk about what happened.
Devon strode out of the blocked off area and announced to everyone
"For those who were here last year you know who I am. Otherwise my name is Devon and I will be here to talk to about what the DA is about." He said
Suddenly a hand went up belonging to Cho
"Yes ms chang?" Devon asked
"Is there something that happened to Harry?" Cho asked
Devon went ridged " Mr Potter is indisposed today he will be back next meeting and I will let him tell you the true reason we are here. For tonight I'm here to whip you into shape for those who still want to be here after what happened last year or as you more are aware of over the summer. I will be blunt. I won't be easy on you. I'm not your friend. But I'm here to keep you alive. And doing so will keep you alive. You may hate me by the end of this meeting but I'd rather you hate me and live and die respecting me. Everyone draw your Wand's!" Devon snapped
In the room Ginny and Harry cuddled with each other as they mentally talked Harry through the pain.
Hermione was holding Harry's sliced hand and tried counter curse after countercurse.
"I'm not sure why it's not going away." Hermione asked
Harry sighed "Hermione leave it. The pain has gone away I will be just fine." Harry said
Ginny glaired at him
"Ok Harry summon your wand." Ginny said
Harry reached out and summoned his wand but Ginny grabbed it and threw it away
"Your other hand." She said glaring at him
Harry gulped this was what he was afraid of he didn't know if sending magic through his hand would cause pain thus making him lose concentration.
Ginny grabbed his shoulder and massassaged him
Harry reached out with his right hand and tried to summon his wand
Only to be forced to retract it from the pain.
Harry tried again getting angrier this time but again the pain was too much
Finally after the third time and getting angry Ginny burst into hysteria
"Harry stop it! just stop it! She screamed as she pounded on his chest crying into him.
Harry shuddered as he wrapped an arm around Ginny.
Devon strode in "what's going on here?" He asked as he looked to see Harry's Hand
"Harry what did this?" He asked
Harry gulped "Umbridge didn't say… but it hurt and caused me to bleed." He said
Devon looked enraged
"Blood Quill. Hermione Ron take over I'm teaching them the the disarming spell. After at least everyone is able to disarm the other at least one switch to painting and accuracy." He said
He turned to Harry.
"I'll be back in a moment I'll get rid of this scar." Devon said
He left the room and was lucky to stumble into Professor Snape
"Mr Oakland what are you doing out at this hour?" He asked jeeringly
Devon walked up to him
"I need use of some dittany." He said
"Dittany? What for?" He asked
"One of the students cast a cutting curse when not supposed to and injured a student." He said
Snape pulled out a vial which just so happened to have dittany.
"Let me see this student?" He said
Devon lead Snape to the DA which made the members pause for a second as Snape was lead into the Blocked off room.
Snape looked over to see Harry and Ginny cuddling
"Mr Potter while I'm happy your comfortable there is an injured student here and I wish to see them and treat them." He said
Harry sat ridgedly
Ginny was able to get him to relax and show his hand to Snape.
Snapes nostrils flared "this is too smooth to be done with wand work… and I feel a faint trace of dark magic…what did this Mr Potter?" Snape asked
Harry sighed "blood quill." He said
Snape shook in rage as he dropped a bit of the plant on the curse.
"I'm well aware about your ability to use spells wandlessly and I assume you couldn't use spells with the hand." Snape said
Harry nodded "the pain was too much." He said
Snape nodded "if you need anymore of this don't be afraid to tell me. Blood quills are illegal for a reason. The headmaster will know about this." He said as he swept out of the room." He paused
"You'll be happy to know that there are 16 young Slytheryn's in this meeting." He said as he left.
By the time the meeting was over Harry felt much better. As he was able to stand up and greet everyone giving them a final few words.
"Thank you all for coming to the first meeting of the Defense Association for this year. I'm sorry I was unable to get to know you today but rest assured I will by the time of next meeting which will be announced. I'm am however greatly impressed that you've all reached the level of potency, quick wit, and strength required for this class in a couple of hours. However I'll assume you had a good teacher and leave it at that." He said
Everyone smiled at the joke as Harry nodded
"If there are any Prefects for the houses here you can take your students to the dorms now." Harry announced adjoining the meeting.
Snape stomped through the castle livid and angry as he made his way to the headmaster office
The griffin moved aside as Snape stepped up the stairs and heard talking in the office
Umbridge was in there.
It took all his will power not to barge in and stun her instantly instead he knocked calmly on the door.
"Come in." Albus said
Snape opened the door to see Umbridge's smile.
"Why hello Severus." Umbridge said
"Headmaster I'd like to speak with you alone." He said not paying Umbridge any mind.
Umbridge was shocked "I'm sorry I'm in the middle of telling about important events going on." She said
Albus looked at Severus and it looked like he had aged a decade in two seconds
"Perhaps this can wait for the next Staff meeting Delorius." Albus said
Umbridge was red as the fact she was being dismissed and stormed out
But not before "accidentally knocking over the bowl of lemon drops letting them scatter over the ground."
Albus sighed as the door slammed shut.
He took out his wand and levitated all the lemon drops and put them back in the bowl while talking to Snape.
"What did you wish to speak to me about Severus?" He asked
"That woman there needs to go." Snape said
Albus sighed "I'm Afraid my hands are tied, she's here under legitimately and I'm afraid the Board members have yet to get back to me upon Umbridge's appointment."
Snape slapped his hand on the desk "she used a blood quill on a student as a punishment!" He said
Albus sputtered "blood quill are you sure?" He asked
"Quiet sure after all I used the dittany myself to heal Mr Potters hand, he's only had one detention with her and he looked like a nervous wreck." Snape said
Albus looked ashen "I'm afraid it's only going to get worse from here." He said
Severus paused "what?"
"With Voldemort back we need to consider the ideas of how he was able to Survive the night with the potters and the Evidence points to only one sign." He said
Snape looked at him expectingly
Albus sighed "it appears that Harry Potter might have been an accidental horcrux." He said
Snape froze…
"But that means…" he said
Albus nodded "in-order for Voldemort to die…Harry Potter must die first." He said
"But the soul bond…" Snape said
Albus nodded "it appears we are in a lose lose situation my boy, either we wisk, Harry away and leave Voldemort unchallenged. Or Harry Potter faces destiny and at it's hands we release an even worse Dark lord…"
Severus stood up "how do you know of this? What evidence points to it?" Snape asked
"The diary from two years ago." Dumbledore said
Snape sighed "and the other?" Snape asked
"The fact that Mr potters Scar has refused to heal over all this time." Albus said
"That's just superficial!" Snape said
"I know it is but we need to think of the possibilities surely you've noticed that when your close to Mr Potter's, your mark goes off does it not?" Albus said
Snape froze… he was right…he didn't want to admit it but Albus was right.
"How long have you suspected this?" Snape asked
"Sense that night in 1981 when I held him in my arms…"
Snape stood up "a decade! A decade you had time to search for them yet you did nothing?" Snape asked
"Severus you must understand I have tried anything could be a horcrux. And it's nearly untraceable by magic It's literally like looking for a needle in a haystack not to mention we have no idea how many there are." Albus said
Snape sighed "I take it you refuse to tell the boy?" He said
Albus sighed "how do you tell the boy you've wanted so much to succeed that he has to die and unleash an even greater evil on the world inorder to win?" He said
"He still should know." Snape said
"I know…" he said
Snape stood up "so headmaster what do we do? We know they are fated to fight and Harry must die we both know he's not Likely to stop just like this." Snape said
Albus looked even sadder.
"At this point my boy we can do all we can by just delaying the inevitable…"
At the ministry Amelia sighed she was doing all she could to not pull her hair out.
It's only Been a week and Harry Potter has refused to answer her letters requesting his presence to help aid in the war effort.
And Voldemort was getting bolder too
Not organized Death eaters attacks but crime in general is up so much so that Aurora we're working overtime just to catch them leaving them open to Voldemort.
She had to reluctantly put moody back on the field
Oh he accepted but Amelia told him she'd not bother him after his retirement.
She hated to break her promises.
It was so bad because apparently Albus had a chip on his shoulder with her too because she wasn't receiving a word from him either.
Amelia had no idea what she did to make them angry at her.
She sighed as another report of an attack this time leaving 3 auroras Injured.
Amelia sighed
In Hogwarts it had been 2 months sense the first DA meeting and overall Umbridge had gotten steadily worse.
First she pulled Harry from flying. Ginny had to replace him as Seeker which she was good at but it was clear she was destined for chaser.
Then there was an attack in Hogsmead which made Umbridge who had elected herself as Chief Security to shut down trips to Hogsmead.
It didn't help that that was one of the ways students were getting illegal supplies in the mail there.
Harry sighed as he noticed that no one was receiving a daily prophet.
Well no one except Malfoy
Harry looked over and saw a headline that shocked him to the core
Amelia bones urges help from Boy-who-lived gets no response.
Before he could read into it anymore the paper was snatched up and torn in half by Umbridge
"Hey that's mine!" Malfoy said
"Tut tut mr Malfoy don't you know the prophet posts only lies. As of now I'm officially putting the daily prophet on the ban list and anyone I catch reading it will join me in detention…is that clear Mr. Malfoy?"
Draco growled out and sat in a huff.
Ron turned back to his food.
"Well at least shes treating everyone equally." He said
"Ron this is important." Hermione said
"I know it's just what can we do?" He asked
"I need to speak to Dumbledore before class. Something that I saw doesn't add up. Excuse me." Harry said as he stood up and walked out of the great hall.
At the table Umbridge looked at Harry with a glare.
Harry reached the headmaster's office and the Griffin moved aside for him.
He rapidly tapped on the door as the headmaster said
"come in."
Harry came in and shut the door.
"Sir the war is-."
In a second Harry hold on…" Albus said as he was over his pensive and a wisp of silver dropped into the bowl.
Harry gulped he knew Albus would be hostile and he was thankful to avoid the wrath so far but with the new evidence it was clear that he made a mistake.
Albus stood up
"Now Mr. Potter what did you wanna discuss?"
"It's about our meeting the first night? Was that something you were putting away?" He asked
"What I put in my pensive is not your concern Mr. Potter, as for this meeting you speak of I cannot recall it can you remind me?" He asked
Harry shook his head
"I'm afraid I cannot the only way you can is to open the memory vial and watch it again the information is too sensitive." Harry said
"Mr potter I hope you understand I'm here to help." Albus said
"Harry call me Harry Professor. As for that I know it's not you that made me come to you it's me I messed up. I need you to find the memory vial."
Albus sighed
"I'm afraid that is quite impossible. Just this morning something happened and much of my memory vials Shattered I'm afraid it's quiet possible it is lost…"
Harry sat back in the chair stunned
Had he fucked up that bad?
Now Albus would never trust him.
Harry was about to go into another panic attack but two things stopped him
1 was Ginny calling out to his mind.
The other was a knock on the office door.
Harry turned around
"Mr Potter, please stay out of sight." Albus said as he drew his wand and held it out front.
"Enter." He said
The door opened and Madam Umbridge walked in with several Arouras.
"Hello madam Umbridge. What can I do for you today?" Albus asked
"You can start by telling us exactly what you've doing here Albus Dumbledore there has been several attacks which you've done nothing to stop. I I'm ordering your resignation,
"And what order is this?" Albus asked
"Board of Governor's themselves." Umbridge said with a sneer
"You two please Escort Mr Dumbledore to Azakaban to await his trial."
"Oh I'm afraid I'm not going to Azakaban." He said as he looked around and winked at Harry
"Listen to the sorting hat Potter. Know that My door is always open to those who call." He said
"Enough of this arrest him." Umbridge snapped
The two Auroras walked forward but fawks swooped down and Albus clapped his hands around the phoenix as he flamed away. Sending Umbridge and the Auroras to the ground.
The Aroura's stood up
"Well you have to admit he's got style…" one said
"Enough of this. Seeing as Albus is no longer present I will be put in as Acting headmistress." And my first order is to promote myself as head inquisitor of Hogwarts." Mr potter you are no longer welcome in my office. You are to leave." Umbridge smiled sickly
Harry shook in rage as he was kicked out of the safe home.
What he didn't see due to his rage was once Harry left Umbridge, and the two Auroras were forced out as well.
"Open the door!" Umbridge yelled the arouras did nothing but stand in shock
"OPEN THIS DOOR?!" Umbridge shouted.
In the headmaster's office the lights faded as the room was perfectly preserved for the headmaster for when he returned like it has always done during the summer. For the fact that Albus didn't resign it was still his office. And it wouldn't allow anyone but Albus or those who he invited to him.
Which to his last declaration was Harry Potter…
The floo lit to life as a desperate scream of Amelia bones was heard from the fireplace "Dumbledore?… Dumbledore…DUMBLEDORE?!"
Dumbledore appered in 12 Grimmauld place. And immediately called the members of the Order of the Phoenix he could trust. And going off of Harry meaning that Sirius was not invited.
It would be a struggle to keep activity away from the lord of the house…
Harry sighed as he entered the DADA classroom where Umbridge was waiting for him
"Well Mr. Potter late again. I think that is another detention." She said
Harry rolled his eyes clearly this wasn't going to be a good class.
The entire month leading up to Yule wasn't good.
One Harry hadn't had time to celebrate Samhain and he definitely felt a constriction of his magic because of it. He just hoped a rather large Yule log and forgiveness for missing the holiday would be enough to please the gods again. However seeing as Umbridge is trying her hardest to keep everyone at Hogwarts that's not likely.
It wasn't in fact as high inquisitor Umbridge was able to give capital punishment for just the most minor of offensives.
He should know he felt the spanking Umbridge gave Ginny in class and he was unable to sit still in potions making Snape speak to him after class.
Is there a reason why you were jumping around in class Mr potter?
"Umbitch spanked my wife in the middle of class." Harry said knowing they were alone Harry didn't even bother trying to hide the rage in his voice he looked ready to go on a war path.
"Oh." Snape said dumbly as he went behind the desk and pulled out a vial and handed it to Harry.
"Put this on the affected Area and within a minute the pain will be numb. I can only offer you condolences for the embarrassment of what she has been subjected to." Harry nodded
"Thank you." He said as he walked out.
He met Ginny in the hall and lead her to a broom closet to which to apply the ointment.
He had just finished when filch caught them.
"Oh look at this I'll have you in chains for this." He said as he dragged the kids out.
He lead them to the great hall when everyone was eating.
Umbridge sat in Albus's chair.
"Mr filch? And what reason do you have for these two?" Umbridge asked
"Why I caught them in the broom closet."
Tut tut tut public indecency indeed…I guess the last public spanking wasn't enough for you. Very well I'll guess I'll have to make it harder this time-." Umbridge said when suddenly the Great hall opened again
And in stomped Amelia bones enraged followed by an equally enraged Sirius black and Kingsly Shacklebolt.
"POTTER?!" She roared so much she shook the windows of the great hall. Making everyone shocked why the minister was storming into the school.
She stopped before Harry and Ginny and glaired "is there a reason why you've refused to answer my Letters I sent you sense the beginning of the school year? I've sent personal and outright top secret letters about Voldemort's movement and yet none of the owls have ever come back?! Is there a reason your killing my owls out of spite?"
"What are you talking about?" Harry asked dumbfounded
"Don't be dumb Harry. Just tell us why your angry at us and we can sort this out." Sirius said looking equally angry but trying to be calm and understanding
However Harry was done being understanding
"ANGRY OK ILL TELL YOU WHY IM ANGRY WHY THE FUCK DID YOU APOINT THIS BITCH TO DEFENSE TEACHER THIS YEAR WHO ONLY TEACHES THEORY?!" Harry roared as the room shook like an earthquake. As he pointed to Umbridge
"She's made my life a living hell! Took away the Hogsmeade trips! Banned the prophet kicked out Dumbledore! And the letters! She burned the first letter I ever got giveing me PTSD from the Dursley's!" Harry roared
"WHAT?!" Amelia asked shocked and looked up to see Delores Umbridge looking pale.
"Oh Delorius your here…Mr black told me you were On vacation…for the year?" Amelia said her voice growing darker
"Vacation?! Sense the first day of class she's been making my life hell! She used a blood quill on me as a punishment." Harry snapped
"Incarcerous!" Sirius snapped as Umbridge fell over the table tied in a hogtie.
"Sirius let me announce it this time." She said
"Of course love." He said as he kissed her on the lips
Amelia stepped forward "Dolores Jane Umbridge, for the crimes of Withholding important Military information from necessary chain of command, falsifying documents, pretending to pose as a faculty of the school! Hampering Magical ability for refusing to actually teach magic, refusing to corporate with an ongoing investigation. And as it's been recently descovered the assassination attempt on Harry James Potter and Gineva Molly Potter nee Weasley! You are held in charges of high treason to the ministry! And if found guilty will be held in a ministry cell for the rest of your days." Amelia snapped
"Oh and all rights privileges. Rewards and Declarations as High inquisitor of Hogwarts are as of this point suspended. And any extra charges raised against you by this body of students for neglect and abuse will come out of your own Vault as reprimands. Please say anything you like because anything you say will be used against you in court and allow us to keep you longer." Amelia smiled sickly before she barked
"TAKE HER AWAY!"
Kingsley Shacklebolt levitated the Strugging Umbridge as he walked away. But Amelia stopped him
"Oh Kingsley…if she tries to escape…kill her." Amelia said steely
Yeah she was not fucking around now.
Everyone was too much in shock to even process the Words Amelia said she bent down
"My apologies for that harsh reveal but I had to do it right otherwise the court could use it to go free and we'd be right back here." She said
Ginny shrugged "it's ok. I don't think the prophet has released it. Or if they did we didn't see it." Ginny said
"They released it two months ago but apparently Delorius blocked the mail by then.
"That was one of the few things that really hurt. I didn't get any news of the outside world and when I did it was you saying you had been trying to contact me then she banned the paper as well as vet all Owls for messages."
Harry said
Amelia sighed "ugh well there is a lot that you need to catch up on. But for right now the important one." She said as she flopped a prophet at the table
"Escape from Azakaban."
"Another one? Who this time?" He asked
"It's not who escaped…" Amelia said
It's who got in…" Sirius finished
Harry turned back to the paper.
"You-know-who had decided to attack Azkaban prison… no Ministry presence is on the island.
It's considered now that he is using it as a base of operations…"
Harry sighed and held his hair in his hands
"Fucking shit!" He said
After that little bit of entertainment and dinner was done Harry stood up before the teachers could escort the students back to there dorms.
"All Members of the DA report for emergency meeting! repeat ALL MEMBERS OF THE DA REPORT FOR EMERGENCY MEETING!" He said as he hopped off the table and left the room with Ginny Hermione Ron and Devon in tow.
Much of the school was stunned as 80% of the students left and followed Harry. Leaving everyone stunned
Sense when did Harry have this much control over of the school?
Harry walked into the Room of requirement which had become there new HQ sense after halloween
Harry still holding the paper Amelia Gave him Strode forward down barking orders "FORMATION!" He said
All the members snapped to attention each one snapping there heels together there wand arm with wand in hand pointing up having the wand touch there nose and other arm behind there back. This was the DA parade formation. Even the chain of command was expected to follow it including Hermione Ron and Ginny.
The only two not was Devon but he did it anyways. And Harry who was the leader obviously.
"I've just gotten some bad news it appears we're jumping straight into hell sooner than we thought." Harry said as he tossed the paper out behind him and it magically expanded to reveal the large headline of Voldemort takeover of Azakaban."
"Ladies and gentlemen. The dark lord has come out of hiding. And so shall we. Ladies and gentlemen we are at war. Pack your things for the winter and be prepared for anything! You might be on call to respond to fighting in your area." He said
"If I don't see any of you after winter, know it's been an honor being with you. And I will remember each and everyone of your names you won't be forgotten."
The room was silent. If anyone had any doubts of dying in battle they refused to say it.
"Dismissed. Spend the next 48 hours as your own. This may be the last time you see each other. Command group say." Harry said
As the DA filed out Hermione, Ron, Neville, Luna, Ginny and Devon stood behind as the paper vanished and as he turned around a huge war table showing the map of Great Britain including key locations such as Muggle London (the ministry), Hogwarts, the monastery, and Azakaban were on it.
This was the DA's war table where command would overview orders and plan out scenarios
"Hermione update the board." Harry said
Hermione nodded and waved her wand.
While the daily prophet was unable to get to Hogwarts and Hogsmead. She had other ways of getting information from outside.
Namely after Dumbledore left she orders Crookshanks to steal a paper from Hogsmead and sneak into the castle. It wasn't much because clearly there wasn't alot for fear of the public. But Amelia was at least keeping the population informed.
"Hermione I need you to find a way to put this on a parchment that we can have at all times which is keyed to us only and updating something on one map shows on all the others." Harry said
"That's a tall order." Hermione said
"Even with us and the marauder's map we only had one version." Sirius said from the door making all of the command staff turn and be ready to blast him
As Amelia smiled
"I was worried that you turned your back on this war. Glad to see I was wrong." She said
"There is so much we need to discuss." Harry said
"Indeed and so little time. In two days the Hogwarts express is expected to come." She said she turned to Sirius "return to the ministry and get the reports on my desk for the war." She said
"I'll use the headmaster's floo."
"I'll come with you Albus locked it before he left Hogwarts. It's why Umbridge used her old office and not moved into His." He said
"Ron get in touch with The twins. I need them here. Tell them several contracts are on the line." Harry said
"Contracts?" Amelia asked
Sirius smiled "oh your gonna love them darling." He said
Amelia sighed "I'm feeling the headache already."
Harry and Sirius left in tense silence
"Look pup, about the letters."
"Save it!" Harry snapped it was clear he felt betrayed even though he shouldn't. It wasn't like Sirius tried to not contact him he clearly did it's just Umbridge burned them all.
"Harry I forgot to give this to you before you left for Hogwarts I tried to give it to you in the mail but Umbridge might have confiscated it. But here." He said as he handed Harry a mirror
"A hand mirror?" He asked
"Not just any mirror say the name of any person who has another mirror and you will see there face in the mirror and will talk in real time across the world." Sirius said
Harry looked up "nice. This would've been useful to being kept informed." He said
Sirius nodded
"I know I'm sorry pup but I got pulled away and couldn't give it to you."
"It's ok Padfoot I forgive you." Now how's Remus?" Harry asked
"He misses you." He said
Harry smiled "as do I." He said before he paused "We're here." Harry said
Harry stepped forward towards the Griffin Sirius was about to try to pull him
Back but the statue sprang aside
"Oh." Sirius said they they went up the stairs
"Harry why did the statue move aside for you. I know that if it's locked the griffin attacks you. It happened to James one year as he tried to prank his office. He had his shoes bitten off.
Harry was dumbfounded "well Padfoot I honestly don't know I haven't been here sense the night he left." Harry said
They entered the office and suddenly all the lights turned back on
"Ah mr potter I was beginning to wonder when you would show up." The sorting hat said
"I'm sorry I didn't know I was expected." Harry said
"Oh quiet. Albus thought you would come to his office every night to get information to secretly about the war. Unfortunately you never showed so after a month he stopped showing and just focused on running his own war effort." The hat said
Harry groaned feeling like an idiot
"Not to worry Mr. Potter, Albus assumed you were focused on your own war effort and chose not to bug you." He said
"Thank you. Oh yes you were here before do you know where the memory vial is?"
"Ah yes the oblivated memory yes I do. Albus was extra careful with it and chose not to store it in the cabinet with the rest of his memories. Bottom right drawer right side."
Harry was glad he found it as he sighed
"At least I have it now. Sirius I need to know do you have a pensive at Grimmauld?"
Sirius thought "I might but I haven't seen it for a while." He said
Harry nodded "not to worry there is one at Potter Manor." He said "speaking of… Dobby?" Harry called
Suddenly Dobby appered
"Master called for Dobby?" The elf asked
"Yes please prepare Potter manor for Myself and Ginny for over the holidays. And see if any of the other Elves that are free or something would like to come to Potter manor."
Dobby cheered "oh yay Mr Harry Potter is going home oh I'll all the previous elves the good news. The manor will be in tip top shape." Dobby said as he vanished.
Harry blinked "I'll be honest I have absolutely no idea what he was talking about." He said
Sirius shrugged "your guess is as good as mine. I gotta go pup I'll meet you back in the Room of Requirement." Sirius said as he hugged Harry.
"I'm so glad your safe." He said as he flooed away.
Harry walked back down to the room and on the way passed Umbridge's office
Thinking of ways to get back at her Harry cast a spell that sent All the stolen letter from her office directly to who they were supposed to go to.
Meaning everyone got swarmed at least 15 letters and two howlers from angry parents asking why they were not responding.
Indeed the sounds of Loud parents echoed across Hogwarts into the night.
The next day howlers we're still being opened and breakfast was served 2 hours later because everyone was sending letters to the owlery.
Harry had probably the most howlers out of everyone being 15 all from madam Bones about the urgency that he contact the ministry at once.
After the 6th pile of ash falling into his pumpkin juice he just flipped the cup over.
While the Rest of the DA was relaxing. Besides in classes Harry was working himself to death as he went over 3 months of information about possible position's targets and reasons for Voldemort's attacks.
It was hair pulling.
Finally Harry gave up and stormed into the room of requirement. This is why you block military news. Umbridge should just be sent through the veil on that fact alone.
Harry went to the war table and chucked the reports in the Air and tried to get a solid report from the information
The problem was there wasn't anything.
Harry sighed he couldn't be bothered to deal with this right now. He should be relaxing but because of fucking Umbridge-!
Harry took a deep breath. And sighed he banished the war table for a nice bed and laid down on it.
He was woken up by someone shaking him
He snapped his eyes up to see Ginny looking worried.
"Harry are you ok?" She asked
"Where-?" He asked
"Your in the room of requirement you apparently slept in here for two days the trains about to leave
Harry stumbled on the ground in panic "shit!" He said
Ginny smiled "don't worry once Ron figured out he spent all of today packing your stuff for you."
Harry blushed embarrassed but nodded as Ginny gave him his shrunken trunk.
Harry and Ginny ran down to the train just in time as it was just about to leave and they found there firends.
"Are you ready for this yule?" Hermione asked
"Yeah…" Harry Said as he slouched and laid down on the train and slept using Ginny's lap as a pillow.
(Eoc)
