Delphi paced. She paced, and she paced, and she paced. Just outside of the Potions classroom. It was her free period and she was on a mission. She was looking for a particular seventh year Gryffindor named Neville Longbottom. She was a year below him and had seen him around school. But specifically she had remembered him being apart of Harry Potter's DA. She remembered her first meeting. It was probably better then any Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson she had ever had, and the DA was run by students, granted by Harry Potter, but still.
And so now, with the school being run by Death Eaters, Delphi felt that starting the DA again would be very important. They would learn more in the DA then in the actual DADA class, where the Death Eater professors took to casting a particular Unforgivable on students in attempts to "teach" them. Delphi growled under her breath at the memory of when she had been Crucio'd. She shook her head to release the memory.
She let out a frustrated sigh, as she was still waiting for the class to release. She could hear voices on the other side. She paced back and forth a few more times, and then finally, students started shuffling out of the classroom. Delphi leaned against the wall beside the door and waited for the Gryffindor to exit the room.
As the crowd shuffled out Delphi finally spotted Neville. She pulled him by the arm and yanked him out of the stampede that was leaving Professor Snape's class. She pulled him down the hallway opposite where the students where heading.
"Hey Neville, I know I haven't talked to you in a long time, but hi." She said energetically with a smile. "So I was wondering," She looked around and pulled him gently down the hallway a further more and leaned in, "I was wondering if you were going to restart the DA. I think now is the perfect time, and I think a lot of people could learn from it. I would help you if you needed." She said quickly in reassurance, and with a wild grin on her face. She looked up into his eyes expectantly.

Neville was just finishing his potion when he heard Snape dismiss them for the day. His potion turned out to be a bloody mess, like usual. "Why can't I get anything right"? he asked himself. "You think that in my seventh year I could complete a damb potion" he said again to himself in frustration while other's could probably hear him. He grabbed his belonging's and cleaned up his area and headed for the door. How he couldn't wait to get out of there....he hated Snape, with a passion.
As he made his way out the door, he was quickly yanked by the arm. It was a ravenclaw girl that was quickly dragging him down the corridor just as if he was a ragged doll. It would probably look pretty amusing to others. He noticed that it was Delphi, and hadden't spoke to her in ages. He thought to himself what she could possibly want to talk to him for??.
Hey Neville, I know I haven't talked to you in a long time, but hi." She said. Neville leaned up against the wall, holding his chest and catching his breath. "Hello" he said to her quite out of breath. "Why are you dragging me here like i'm somekind of broken toy", he said to her exahusted.
"I was wondering if you were going to restart the DA. I think now is the perfect time, and I think a lot of people could learn from it. I would help you if you needed." she said to him very excited. "SSHHHHHH" he said to her and now pulled her farther down the hall. " Don't say that so loud", he said to her sternly. "You never know who is listening around these walls". He looked to the right and then to the left and then back at her. " I was waiting to hear from Harry, but now that you have an interest maybe we could get a head start without him and then give him the heads up when I see him". He looked at his watch, "Which is hopefully soon".
Neville was excited about this little meeting. He was happy that someone wanted to be apart of the DA and couldn't wait until it was taken into action. He grabbed her by the arm and started walking with her. "So Delphi, where should we begin?" he asked her with curiosoty

Delphi rolled her eyes playfully ah Neville shooshed her.
"Don't say that so loud", he said to her sternly. "You never know who is listening around these walls. I was waiting to hear from Harry, but now that you have an interest maybe we could get a head start without him and then give him the heads up when I see him." He looked at his watch, "Which is hopefully soon."
Delphi was pulled even further down into the corridor quickly and she almost tripped, which made her laugh slightly.
"Neville calm down. Thats why I already pulled you so far down the hallway. You've pulled us so much farther in I may get lost." She teased jokingly with a smile.
"So Delphi, where should we begin?"
Delphi tapped her chin in thought. "Well, I guess we could begin like Harry had, right? Call for a meeting in Hogsmeade? Or we could pass notes in classes. What do you think? Perhaps we could just tell classrooms at a time. We could have someone pull a professor out of class and then someone inside the room address the class." She laughed at her last idea, which she highly doubted would work. "What do you think, Neville? You're smart." She smiled up at him with a sparkle in her eye.

Neville looked at her with just a bit of confusion. It's not like he woke up today thinking about starting Dumbledor's Army. He was taking in her response. "Well, I guess we could begin like Harry had, right? Call for a meeting in Hogsmeade? Or we could pass notes in classes. What do you think? Perhaps we could just tell classrooms at a time. We could have someone pull a professor out of class and then someone inside the room address the class." she said with more excitement. What do you think, Neville? You're smart."
Neville looked down at his toes while she was rambling on a whole whack of idea's, which were great. "I think that we should send the notes in class" he said to her agreeingly. He looked right and left just to make sure that no one was comming durring their little chit chat. " I think the note should say to gather at Hogsmeade", and we can only tell people we trust", he said to her with a bit of concern in his voice.
As they continued their conversation Neville couldn't help but start to get excited about getting a head start of the gathering of Dumbledor's Army, he only wished he would have thought of it...he was after all a friend of Harry Potter, but he was very glad that Delphi came along as his partner in crime.
" Well, have Herbology this afternoon" he said to her with a grin. "What class do you have"? he asked with curiousity. He steered her to walk with him back towards potions class and said, " Let's start there and get the word out... then once we have gotten in touch with everyone then we will schedule a meeting place". He took a few steps and then smacked his head and looked at Delphi. " But where are we going to practice?" he asked her with doubt. He looked at her with a look like he just got an idea. "We could possibly try the room of requirments, what do you think Delphi?" he asked her.

"I think the note should say to gather at Hogsmeade, and we can only tell people we trust."
Delphi nodded in agreement. She listened intently as Neville spoke. 'He is so clever.' She thought to herself.
"I have Ancient Runes later." She replied to his question. She thought about his other one, concerning where they should hold meetings.
"We could possibly try the room of requirments, what do you think, Delphi?" he asked her. She cringed at the sound of her name. She really didn't like it, but it was her name, and she had tried to get people to call her Emma for years, but it just didn't seem to be happening. So now only her closest friends and those she trusted the most seemed to call her Emma.
"Well," She said quietly. "We could always try the Room. Or maybe even the House Elves would help us out. It's no secret that Death Eaters treat them like crap, perhaps they would be happy to help us." She smiled as the thoughts scrolled into her head. Delphi heard something in the distance, looking down at her small pocket watch suddenly.
"I'm so sorry Neville! I really do have to run. I will talk to you later, right?" She smiled wildly at him before running up the steps and out of the library.
