AUTHOR'S NOTE

Hey Comrades!

So, I have been reading Fanfiction for a long time now.. But never made one myself.
This would be my Second attempt at one (The first one died a horrible death years ago..).

I have been on a revolutionary story craze for a while now and was heartbroken to see how few there were. Some good (I'm looking at you, Starfox5) and many bad. So, after many days of jumping reddit posts, I finally decided to write one myself. Its probably gonna be shit. But i suppose you guys will let me know.

This work is going to feature ideals of socialism, violent uprising and Red Flags. So please don't read if you don't like reading about them.

The updates are gonna be coming, but not on a time table. I already have 8K words written and most of the plot sketched!

I am not a native English speaker, so please excuse my mistakes. If anyone is willing to go through my work before I post it, please drop me a PM with your Discord ID or an email and we can go from there.

Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING. I DON'T PROFIT FROM THIS. PLEASE DON'T SUE ME.

Entry 1: Excerpt from "The Rise of the Defense Association: A Historical Overview"

It began quietly in Hogwarts, in a year marked by unrest and the oppressive regime of Dolores Umbridge. Harry Potter, already a figure of controversy, stumbled upon an obscure book in the library: "The Communist Manifesto" by Karl Marx, a squib whose ideas never saw the light of day in the Muggle world. This book, unbeknownst to many, would become the catalyst for a movement that would later shake the foundations of the wizarding world.

Entry 2: Diary Entry by Hermione Granger, Dated October 1995

Something's different with Harry. His usual brooding has taken on a new quality, a sort of restless energy. He's more contemplative, often lost in thought, and there's a certain seriousness that wasn't there before. He's been spending a lot of time in the library, poring over books I've never seen him show interest in.

His views on the injustices at Hogwarts, especially under Umbridge, have become more pronounced. He's not just angry - he's thinking, questioning. He talks about equality and fairness with an intensity that's new. I can't help but feel a sense of pride and curiosity. What's inspired this change?

It's refreshing, actually. His perspective seems broader, more concerned with the bigger picture. I'm eager to understand more, to see where this leads. Hogwarts needs someone to challenge the status quo, and who better than Harry?

Entry 3: Article in The Daily Prophet, "Potter's Peculiar Behavior Raises Concerns at Hogwarts"

In a year already fraught with controversy, Harry Potter, the boy who continues to claim the return of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, is now causing a stir for entirely different reasons at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Sources within the school report that Potter has been increasingly isolated, often found engaging in hushed conversations and displaying a discontent with school authorities, particularly with the respected and Ministry-appointed High Inquisitor, Dolores Umbridge. His behavior, once pitiable, has taken a turn towards the disturbing, raising questions about his stability and intentions.

"He's always been a bit of an oddball, but now it's like he's stirring up trouble on purpose," says a fellow Gryffindor student, who wishes to remain anonymous. "He talks about things needing to change at Hogwarts, about fighting back. It's not just about the usual stuff – Quidditch or classes. It's something else, something more intense."

While the specifics of Potter's grievances remain unclear, it is evident that he is growing increasingly alienated, not just from the school authorities but from many of his peers. Is this a sign of a troubled young wizard lashing out, or something more sinister brewing in the heart of our beloved magical institution? This reporter believes it's high time for the Ministry to step in and ensure the safety and well-being of Hogwarts' students.

Entry 4: A Letter from Ron Weasley to His Brother, Percy, Dated November 1995

Hey Percy,

You wouldn't believe how odd things are at Hogwarts now. Harry's been acting different lately - more thoughtful, kind of intense. He's always been one to stand up for what's right, but now, it's like he's got a bigger plan or something.

He's been spending loads of time in the library, and ever since, he's been talking about stuff like fairness and how the school, and maybe even the Ministry, should be different. It's not just talk, either. He's getting people to listen.

Hermione seems to be into it, always nodding and adding her own bits. I'm not sure what to think. It's like Harry's gearing up for something big, but he hasn't let me in on it all just yet.

How's everything with you at the Ministry? Hope you're not working too hard.

Ron

Entry 5: Reflections by Neville Longbottom (Post-War)

Looking back at fifth year, I remember the change in Harry. After everything with the Triwizard Tournament and the return of You-Know-Who, he came back different. He was more reflective, always thinking deeply. It wasn't just about the DA and learning to fight; Harry was thinking about why we fight, what we're fighting for.

He started questioning things, things about Hogwarts, the Ministry, the way our world worked. It wasn't just rebellion against Umbridge; it was deeper. Harry's words made us think about the world we wanted to live in.

Back then, I didn't know where his ideas came from, but they resonated with many of us. We were just kids, but Harry's words made us feel like we could change the world. And in a way, we did.

Entry 6: Educational Decree Number Twenty-Four

By Order of the Hogwarts High Inquisitor

Educational Decree Number Twenty-Four

All student organizations, societies, teams, groups, and clubs are henceforth disbanded. An organization, society, team, group, or club is hereby defined as a regular gathering of three or more students.

Permission to reform may be sought from the High Inquisitor (Professor Umbridge). No student organization, society, team, group, or club may exist without her approval.

The above is in accordance with the need to maintain order within Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Dolores Umbridge, High Inquisitor

Entry 7: Diary Entry by Hermione Granger, Dated December 1995

The latest decree from Umbridge has made it painfully clear - we're on our own in learning Defense Against the Dark Arts. But I've had an idea. If we can't learn in the classroom, perhaps we can learn outside it. A secret group, dedicated to learning proper defense, led by Harry.

Harry's been different lately, more focused and passionate about standing up to injustice. This could be a way to channel that passion into something practical, something that can really help us. It's risky, but with Umbridge's draconian rules, what other choice do we have?

Now, to convince Harry. I think he'll see the merit in it - after all, who better to lead us than someone who's faced Dark Wizards and lived?

Entry 8: Excerpt from the Recollections of Susan Bones

The Hogsmeade meeting at the Hog's Head was a turning point. We were a motley crew, students from different years and houses, brought together by a shared need to defend ourselves, a need that Hogwarts, under Umbridge, couldn't meet.

Harry Potter was there, of course, the center of it all. He seemed different from the boy who had stumbled through Hogwarts' halls for years. There was a quiet intensity about him, a determination that was both inspiring and a little intimidating.

We huddled in that dingy back room, whispering about forming a secret defense group. Hermione Granger, always the organizer, laid out the plan with a fierce determination. But it was Harry who convinced us. When he spoke about the need to stand up and fight, to protect ourselves and each other, it wasn't just about spells and curses. It felt bigger than that, like we were stepping into something that could change us all.

Amidst the murmurs of agreement, I remember glancing around, realizing the gravity of what we were undertaking. This wasn't just a club; it was a statement, a rebellion in its own subtle way.

As we filed out, under the suspicious gaze of Aberforth, I felt a mix of fear and exhilaration. We were part of something secret, something important. And it all began in that dim, smoky room, with Harry Potter, who was no longer just a boy, but a leader.
