She hadn't been studying at Hogwarts long and Annie heard threw whispers in the hallways that this Dumbledore's army was setting up again. Good. Someone needed to take a stand in this place. Everyone kept their heads down and stayed in groups of three or more to move to class. Kind of depressing in her book. Annie moved down the corridor, looking over her shoulder every few seconds to make sure she wasn't being followed.
The corridor she moved along was dimly light. The only light was the sliver lines shimmering in from open glass windows. A couple strands of light caught on the silver star charm resting on her chest. Her slender hand rose to the star and traced the pattern.
Annie exhaled her held breath as she stepped into the room, people were already chatting about whatever. She only recognized a couple herself. Two were her fellow Hufflepuffs. Ophelia something and David something. She felt bad for not knowing more then their name. " Sorry I'm late. Have I missed much? " She asked. The Irish accent in her voice was soft, almost masked by her English one. She smiled at the boy in charge and waited for his answer.

Neville was taking out all of his things and putting them on the desk, when Emma came up behind him and was more anxious then ever. He was about to respond to her, and before he could he noticed her slytherin boyfriend was there standing at the door and was calling her name. Nothing ever good came out of a visit from a slytherin.
Neville was quite concerned because no slytherins were to know about this meeting, and the starting up of the new Dumbledor's Army. This wasn't a good thing to be happening, expecially right now anyways.
Moments went by and Neville was getting more and more concerned about the conflict between Emma and her boyfreind. He was trying not to listen, but it was hard not to. He wondered to himself what she even saw in him, but this wasn't going to be easy having his right hand man(Emma) dating a slytherin.
Now it was getting really hard to dismiss while their voices together were getting a bit louder, and Neville was affraid of any deatheaters hearing them since they were in the tower and voices echo. Neville slammed his hands down on the desk and closed his book and looked directly over at Emma and her boyfreind and stomped over to them.
"Really, this is enough", Neville said to the slytherin while he pointed at him. "I really don't wish to have you here", he said while looking at him straight in the face, then looked at Emma. "I understand if you can't be a part of this Emma, since you are dating someone that works on behalf of you know who..all slytherins do", he said to her while looking back at her boyfriend. "I think you should leave", Neville comanded him.
He noticed that some other students were walking in when he asked the slytherin to leave, and they steered their way to Emma. She was such a friendly person why on earth is she with a slytherin. He noticed that her boyfreinds nostrils flaired up before he turned around and left the tower. Neville was quite concerned about what would happen to Emma after the meeting, but he couldn't think of that now. He saw David walking up to him and put his hand on Neville's shoulder. "Thanks for organising this Neville, you are a greater man than I... "Now isn't the time, because we are running out of it and we are probably going to get caught...but thank you David that was very nice of you", he said to him while changing his tone.
"Ok everyone please gather around, I just want to say thank you for everyone that showed up tonight..and i don't have much time", he said to the bunch. "Well let's get started" he said to them all with confidence. "I need to announce my two captains, which will be assisting us all in our learning", he said while looking at everyone.
"It is my pleasure to announce that Emma Jaymesinn and Ginny Weasley are the captaines" he heard clapping all around. "And for answers and guidence...Luna Lovegood", he shouted as he and Luna were always quite close. He looked and noticed that she wasn't there at all, which was odd since she was in the DA with Harry. Neville shook his head in confusion and thought he would just talk to her later...maybe she fell asleep.
"Alright...anyone know of a safe place that we can practice our duelling and spells to prepare to fight against the dark lord?" he asked everyone awating for their reply

Ginny responded with a hug back to Neville, "Good to see you too! I am really excited for this to start up again." She replied as she noticed the room starting to fill up with students. She turned towards David who introduced himself when he entered and nodded and smiled, "Very nice to meet you David. And Emma, nice to meet you too."
Being in the DA before, it did not surprise Ginny that Neville would have made her a captain to help out with the teachings and such. She just wished that she could tell Harry everything, but like their last Owl post to each other, she did not want to risk getting intercepted again. When the Slytherin entered the room and started talking to Emma, Ginny just shook her head and let Neville take control in asking him to leave. Why now? He could have waited until a different time to come talk to Emma, but Ginny just shrugged and focused on the meeting.
"Could we use the room of requirement again," Ginny suggested.

Katniss left the Hufflepuff common room where she was still getting some studying done; she was excited for the start of Dumbledore's Army, having heard of it's success when Harry Potter first started it. But with Dumbledore gone, would they change the name or keep the name in his honor. She snuck through the corridors hoping that no professor or prefect would see her. As she slowly and carefully made her way to the Astronomy tower, she heard footsteps following behind her; although they were distant, she took caution and took out her wand just in case. When she reached the tower, the footsteps stopped, she looked around and knocked and entered.
"Hello. Sorry I am late, was studying. Did I miss anything," Katniss replied as she saw Ophelia first thing and walked over to her, "Hey Ophelia."
Kat was especially excited for the DA. Not just because she wanted to fight off the death eaters, but because of her parents...she hated them and the fact that they were death eaters themselves.

A smile spread across David's face as Neville ejected Caesar from this impromptu meeting. I don't think he would be missed, if only Neville could do the same with Rhye Alexander...
Neville begun to speak about the army and asked the question about an area to train in. Straight away Ginny Weasley, the sister of the now-famous Ron Weasley, gave an answer which was something David had only heard of in books.
David's smile dropped when Katniss entered, his smile dropped not because he disliked Katniss it was the idea that people as young as a fourth year may be injured or even killed in this war against the Dark Arts.
Suddenly everything went quiet after the arrival of Katniss and David looked around to see that no-one seemed to be initiating any conversation.
"Does anyone know any recent news about Harry, Ron and Hermione and what they are doing?"
David removed his hood and looked around the room and at the various people inside of the tower.
"I'm David Osler by the way, nice to meet you all..."
He looked directly at Rhye, gave a little smile and nodded in his direction. No need for them to argue when they had a common goal to achieve right?

Delphi was thankful for Neville who had smoothly taken control again.
"Well let's get started" Neville said to them all with confidence. "I need to announce my two captains, which will be assisting us all in our learning."
The Ravenclaw was looking around, mostly towards her friends. She listened as he announced Ginny and herself as instructors, and was equally curious about Luna's whereabouts. Delphi had always liked Luna. The two of them had gotten along well, and they were both a bit hyper a times.
"Alright...anyone know of a safe place that we can practice our dueling and spells to prepare to fight against the dark lord?" he asked everyone awaiting for their reply.
"Could we use the room of requirement again," Ginny suggested.
"I don't think that is a good idea." Delphi said, but not wanting to sound rude. "If we ever give them a reason to be suspicious, then that will be the first place they look." She tried to point out.
"I think we ought to use the Shrieking Shack if we can find a good way to get to in. It's isolated, and people still steer clear of it. We can use the open field behind it, and we could change it's interior to fit our needs." The Ravenclaw spoke her peace. She could see the inside of the place refurnished with supplies and helpful things. In her mind, it worked perfectly. But this was a Democracy, and so she awaited a response.
When David asked about the Trio, she automatically looked to Ginny. If any of them had heard anything, then it would have been Ginny.

Ophelia smiled when Katniss walked in. She was a sweet fourth year, and Ophelia had taken it upon herself to keep an eye out for her. She didn't want to see the young girl get hurt in this ridiculous war, but she knew that Kat was resourceful, and besides, that's what this whole organization was about. To give every student a fighting chance. And Ophelia would do all she could to help out.
"Hello. Sorry I am late, was studying. Did I miss anything," The young girl walked over to Ophelia. "Hey Ophelia."
"Yes. Nothing to be worried about though." She put an arm around the girl's shoulder and pulled her into a side hug before releasing her. "Studying? It's past one in the morning. What could you possibly be studying for so late?" She asked the girl. When Ophelia had left the tower, no one was in the Common Rooms, which meant Kat must have been in her dormitory when Ophelia left.
Now she turned her head at the two suggestions being presented.
"Both of you have valid points." She dipped her head in Ginny's direction. "The room provides anything you need it too, correct?" She questioned, having no clue, as this was her first year at Hogwarts. "That would be beneficial." Here she turned to Delphi. "But Emma makes a point as well. They would know about the place, and it could be dangerous. The Shack would work, but it doesn't have the security like the room does. We couldn't leave any sensitive information laying around for fear of it falling into the wrong hands."
"Perhaps," She suggested hesitantly, "we could use the mountains of Hogwarts to our advantage." She suggested. Her and Rhye had gone on a date in the mountains and they were very secluded and some places very open. And the foliage would provide for a good practice ground.

Rhye's arms wrapped around Caesar one last time, a comforting hug. Caesar hadn't really told him much, well, not at all really, but he inferred it was about the D.A. and his worries for Delphi. The two parted, Caesar feeling much better, and Rhye feeling like a true hero. Where was his cape?
Once he returned to the room, he slipped in slowly and quietly to see David nod his way. He slightly returned it, an expressionless face turned from him, then to Ophelia as she began talking. They were discussing where to hold meetings.
"Perhaps," She suggested hesitantly, "we could use the mountains of Hogwarts to our advantage." Rhye slipped over to her side, wrapped his arm around her comfortingly and smiled down at her.
"The mountains provide great cover and we could always seal off the vicinity. I am quite good at getting to and from the mountains and Hogwarts. I even have many different paths mapped out that we could use. One day, I could show you all and we could schedule some times where we would use one path or another. Just to throw off anyone looking for our trails." He shrugged. "I've been up and down that place since my first year- its like a second home." He laughed softly, lightening the mood.
His eyes went straight to Delphi and he narrowed his gaze slightly, disappointed in her for raising her voice at him, but understanding completely. She was never verbally intimidating, but something must have set him off for him to leave her side. Caesar was a Slytherin, yes, but he loved Delphi, and Rhye knew deep down that he wasn't bad at all.

David looked across at Rhye when he said about the mountains, he thought that he understood what it meant. Taking his girlfriend up to the mountain to look at the "view", yeah. Right. He gave a little silent chuckle and gave Rhye a little wink, hoping that he would get David's way of thinking.
A sigh escaped David's lips for a second time. The room had gone silent and no-one was speaking not even Neville and it was beginning to annoy David, he was waiting for something to happen and hopefully not the clapping sound from his mind.
"So what are we actually going to do? All that's happened so far is that Emma's boyfriend tried to talk to her but Neville kicked them out..."
David gave Neville a thumbs-up while still looking straight forward.
"And in addition to this Rhye Alexander and Ophelia are only a few minutes from making out, sorry for embarassing you guys by the way...."
He pointed towards the pair with his left hand before turning the point into a second thumbs-up.
"Come on Neville, we have all risked our education and potentially well being to be here. What are we going to be doing?"
David turned to face Neville and placed his hands on his hips like an annoyed mother who's child has just turned up home past his curfew, or with rubbish grades from school.

As Rhye looked over his shoulder, he saw David send him a wink and laugh. His eyes got wide, and he let go of Ophelia for a moment, facing the Hufflepuff completely. "What are you laughing at, funny boy?" His brows raised, his arms crossing over his chest defensively. "Is there something you'd like to say?" He was serious- his pupils almost narrowed into feline-like slits.
Rhye didn't think whatever he was giggling at was funny, especially after the day Rhye had been through. David began talking again and his fingers tightened into balls, his brows furrowing in disgust.
"... All that's happened so far is that Emma's boyfriend tried to talk to her but Neville kicked them out..." David gave Neville a thumbs-up while still looking straight forward. "And in addition to this Rhye Alexander and Ophelia are only a few minutes from making out, sorry for embarrassing you guys by the way...."
Rhye had had enough. He took a step towards him, a growl rumbling from the pit of his vocal chords. "You leave Caesar out of this- he has more respect for himself than you have for anyone in your little finger." He raised his hand out, his muscles rippling under his clothing. Once he brought up Ophelia, his growl erupted entirely and he took another threatening step for the boy, shaking his head lowly. "If you know what is good for you, you will keep her name out of your mouth and our business out of your mind." He clenched his fists and un-weaved them, his nerves through the roof. "Because frankly, David, I have had it with this snarky, pitiful, silently crude personality of yours."
A few members tried to approach him but he just shot them a sharp glare and they knew better. He was shaking by this point and his face had taken the emotion of one pissed off Pretty Boy. You don't suggest things like that to Rhye- especially concerning the love of his life. He knew he was disrupting the meeting, but he wasn't going to leave until the Hufflepuff knew better.
"Come on Neville, we have all risked our education and potentially well being to be here. What are we going to be doing?"
He laughed heartily, almost folding over. "You want to do something? Defend yourself." Before Rhye could even finish his thought in his own head, his wand was out and he shouted: "Densaugeo!" If it hit, his teeth would grow out incredibly long. It wasn't a harmful hex, but it was meant as a challenge.

Before her mind could even register what was happening, Rhye had released her and had turned away. Her eyes widened as she listened to her boyfriend question the seventh year and she racked her mind trying to put together what she had missed. She laid a hand on Rhye's shoulder in an attempt of restraint, but before she could say anything, David had begun to speak.
"Hey-" She began in irritation, but was cut off, as the boy spoke of Delphi like she weren't even in the room.
"Are you dense?" She snapped finally after the comment about herself and Rhye. What was wrong with the boy? Did he have no respect for others. Ophelia couldn't even understand what he had seen that led him to that conclusion. How did Rhye comforting her when he knew she was nervous hint at "making out" in any way shape or form? Unfortunately her words were drowned out by Rhye's angry voice. She hesitated, wanting to hex the Hufflepuff, but not wanting things to get out of hand.
Ophelia had seen Rhye get into a fight with another boy, and the other boy had turned out on the worse end. As much as the seventh year had angered her, she didn't want to see him bloody. Besides, she was a bit squirmish at the sight of blood.
Ophelia squeezed Rhye's arm before he decided to do something he would- well, probably wouldn't regret. "Rhye, no." She said evenly. David questioned Neville about actually doing something, and Rhye began to laugh. Ophelia backed away. That was definitely not Rhye Alexendre's happy laugh. A quick threat and a swift flick of a wand made Ophelia gasp. A hex flew out of Rhye's wand, aiming directly at David.

"Protego...." Was the word that escaped David's lips, almost like a cocky statement. Luckilly, the harmless hex hit David's magical shield and was destroyed, placing his wand up his sleeve where it had been all this time David gave a little sigh. It was a sigh of relief mixed with annoyance, honestly David had been taken off guard by it, he wouldn't make the same mistake again.
"So you're trying to hex me while You Know Who, is killing anything and everything in his path. You think that by hexing me this will save every problem do you?"
The question hung in the air for a moment before David continued speaking:
"I don't have a problem with anyone in this room. I don't have a problem with Caesar, Emma, Ophelia, Neville and even you for that matter. Yet still you seem, no obviously to have taken offence from my meeting with Emma in the library and this has manifested itself into some sort of rivalry"
He ruffled his hair using his left hand looking around the room at the people looking at him, most of the eyes held a look of almost hatred but David was used to this. Being an outcast, a freak, a schizophrenic....
"If you want me to leave then fine..." A little smile crossed David's mouth and a statement came out of his mouth that he thought he would never hear come from his head.
"To be honest I couldn't care if any of you die...." The smile disappeared from David's face and after a quick shake of the head, he begun walking towards the exit door.
"Good luck people. We will all need it." David opened the door, stepped through it then closed it behind him. Once again alienation was what had occured due to David's actions, maybe joining You-Know-Who would be a good idea....

It was 1:14am and Luna was sleeping in her bed holding a new copy of the quibbler that her father had sent her. Obviously it wasn't the best issue he had ever done. One of the other students cat jumped ontop of her and waking her up. Luna sat up and rubbed her eyes and then quickly looked straight at her clock on her little bedside table. "Oh No" she gasped as she whipped off her covers and slipped her feet into her slippers and quickly got dressed.
She put a hairband in her hair and then she grabbed her bag and headed for the towers, trying to make as little noise as possible. "Neville is going to kill me" she thought to herself. "How could I have slept through something so important.
Luna took a shortcut through one of the paintings on the wall that went straight to the tower. She still needed to watch for prefects of course, they were always lurking around at night to catch any student they could for house points...rediculas. It was quite dark so Luna took out her wand. "Lumos", she said as the tip of her wand became a flashlight.
She was so close to the tower, so close she could hear voices. Luna got up to the door and could hear comotion. She was quite relieved that she made it there when everyone was still there. She waved at everyone she passed while trying to locate Neville. She spotted him in the room standing up and speaking. She was late and had no idea what was going on.
"Hello everyone...so sorry I am late", she stated to everyone in the room. "What did I miss?", she said with her cute high voice and quirky smile.

Neville turrned and saw Luna come in and he imediatly went to her and put his arm around her. "I was begining to worry about you..it's not like you to not show up to something like this" he said to her quite concerned. "We are just listening to everyone's idea's as to where we should hold our meeting and practices and i'mm about to decide." he said to her with a smile as he turned and headed back over to Emma and Ginny.
Neville started to wave his arms to catch everyone's attention. "Ok guys we really have to sum this up here and I believe ..because of all your help, that I have the solution." The room got quiet as it was quite late, as neville had more to say.
"Ok, tomorrow we will meet up on Saturday at the mountains since there isn't any classes, so we can have the whole day to practice and not have to be pressed for time. We will also meet there at 11:00am and please no later we have alot to learn, even myself" Neville said as he gulped a bit. He was quite proud of himself and knew Harry would be happy if he only knew what he was doing. He couldn't have done it without Emma though. She came to him, and for that she is his number one!.
"Now off to bed before we get our arses handed to us by Professor Snape or Filtch...god forbid" Neville said with a bit of a grin. "And I want to thank you all for comming and I look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow..and please bring anyone who is interested...even if they didn't come tonight", he said to them all as he turned to Luna and out his arm around her and started to leave the tower.

Hannah hadn’t been able to sleep all night. She was looking forward to going to the DA meeting. It had been way too long since she had talked to her friends. Would they ever recognise her? They probably wouldn’t since she couldn’t even recognise herself most of the time. She made sure none of her housemates heard her get up before she headed toward the long trip to the Astronomy tower. She was hoping that she would make it in time without getting caught. She was out of breath by the time she had gotten to the Astronomy tower after nearly getting caught twice and getting lost on the way. She decided not to make more a sceptical of herself then she already had. “Sorry for being late,” said Hannah nodding toward David and Kat seeing her fellow housemates and several other Hufflepuffs she didn’t know the names of.
