Damn Ang! This is goood!!!

If you keep posting on both I might keep Alicia here...

What? How can you say that? She's killing Harry! Just because she's writing a story all about Seventh year, doesn't let her off the hook!

Will you calm down! You miss out on this part, remember!

Well, yeah I do- I spent ages in a tent with Ron, Hermione, Harry and Jamie... It was a little cramped

Well then- Shut up and read the damn story!

Chapter 6 – Death Eaters just wanna have fun
It soon became obvious to us that everything we knew had changed. Our school had changed. Our teachers had changed. Even our courses had changed. We no longer had Defense against the Dark Arts as a class; it was simply called the Dark Arts. And we were all forced to take Muggle Studies.
When I first looked at my timetable I was stunned by the changes. I mean okay Death Eaters were running the school so I should have seen the Dark Arts change coming but why in heavens name did they wanted us to take Muggle Studies? Weren’t they supposed to hate Muggles? Weren’t Death Eaters the ones who supported the idea of wizards taking over the world and using Muggles as nothing more than house elves? Weren’t they the ones who said that Magic is Might?
“This is odd”, Neville commented as he sat down to the Gryffindor table next to me. “Why do they make us take Muggle Studies?”
“I was just wondering the same thing”, I told him. “I have no idea why they do it but I can’t imagine it’s a good thing. Alecto, the female Death Eater, will be teaching us”.
“Hey Ginny”, a voice behind me called and I turned. There stood Colin Creevey, with his camera in his hands as always. “So…um Ginny…you look nice today…can I take a picture of you?”
I rolled my eyes. I didn’t have enough tolerance at that time for Colin to annoy me. Colin was the most devoted of Harry’s fan…well, he and Romilda Vane. They were both at my age and they were both annoying as hell. Romilda because she would always shamelessly hit on Harry, even when he was my boyfriend and Colin because ever since Harry and I became a couple last year started following me around, taking pictures of me, like I was some kind of celebrity.
“No, Colin, don’t”, I told him irritated. “Why you want to anyway?”
“Well”, he shrugged. “You know, when I finish school I want to be a photographer for Daily Prophet, so I collect my future first pages from now”.
“Colin”, I said patiently. “That’s great and it’s great that you have a dream, but what do I have to do with it?”
“Well, by the time I’ll be a photographer, you’ll probably be a really famous witch married to the famous Chosen One so…click click”, he said moving his camera up and down.
I felt the Great Hall turning cold and the ground bellow me vanish. I tried not to let my mind create once more the vision I have imagined at Bill and Fleur’s wedding, with me and Harry getting married, but I was failing poorly. There he was, inside my head, waiting for me with his green eyes shining. I felt the tears behind my eyes and I knew that I had to get out of the Great Hall. Neville seemed to realize how much Colin’s words have affected me because I saw him with the corner of my eye trying to figure out a way to console me. But that would only make me burst out in tears.
“Sorry, Colin, but not today”, I said as coolly as I could. Then I got up and started walking to the exit slowly, even though I wanted to run the hell away.
“Great job, genius”, Neville whispered to Colin as I was moving away. Nice job indeed. Probably the best way to pick Ginny Weasley apart. Reminding her, what a great future she could have and then let her think that she’ll never have it.

By midday I had recovered from Colin’s sudden attack and meeting Luna at the end of the third floor we both walked to our first lesson of Muggle Studies. At least we shared with Ravenclaws and Luna and I would be together. Imagine, having to be taught by a Death Eater and have Slytherins all around you!
“So…Ginny…how are you today?” Luna said and there something like concern in her otherwise dreamy voice. And I knew Neville told her about what Colin said, but it was not something I wanted to talk about, even with Luna, who was at the moment filling out for Hermione as my best friend.
”I’m fine, Luna, thank you”.
“Ginny…”
“I said I’m fine”, I repeated raising my tone an octave. “Can we please go to class now?”
Luna nodded and we walked silently to class and as we did I started feeling guilty for yelling at her. I couldn’t afford losing her and Neville. They were the only friends I had left in this place.
“Lu, I…” I started as we stepped into the class but the shock of what I saw made my voice fade. The entire classroom was filled with banners and hangings that depicted brutal people killing animals or attacking each other or eating with their hands filled with blood. Luna and I sat down just as stunned as the rest of the students that were sitting around us.
“So this is what it is all about”, Luna said from my side.
What is all about? I failed to see what Luna had seen. What do those pictures had to do with Muggle Studies? But I didn’t have time to ask Luna as Alecto, the Carrow sister, walked in. She stood in front of her desk looking at the lot of us like we were covered with mud. She looked so loathsome that was hard for me not to get up and punch my tension out on her.
“Hello, sixth year students”, she yelped. “I’m here to teach you some things about those vile and yet stupid creatures you know as Muggles”.
And then I got it. It wasn’t about learning how Muggle lived like, it was about learning what the Death Eaters wanted us to think they were like. It was nothing less than preposterous. She started talking about how vulgar and dirty and vicious ‘those creatures’ were, like they weren’t humans like us, like they were something like animals that only worked by their cruel instincts. I felt rage burning inside me. Truth be told I never had spent a lot of time with someone who was a Muggle, but I had met Hermione’s parents. They were nice and kind people and I liked them. What Alecto was saying was only laughable.
“This is crazy”, I whispered to Luna next to me and she nodded. Luna’s dreamy expression was gone and it was obvious that she was trying just like I did to hold back her rage. She seemed to do it but I knew I wouldn’t be able to do it for long.
“So you see that is the reason that…”, she stopped her sentence though as a hand was thrown in the air. “Yes?”
“I’m sorry professor but I think this is wrong”.
I turned and to my great disbelief I saw Colin Creevey.
“Wrong?” she repeated with a blank expression.
“If Muggles are the animals you describe, how is it that they have come up with such a magnificent technology?” he asked her.
“You call what those filthy creatures have created magnificent?” she asked with her eyebrows raised.
“Well…it is, isn’t it?” Colin said and I could hear the hesitance in his voice; however he went on. “I mean they must be really clever to come up with airplanes and refrigerators and elevators and…”
“ENOUGH!” she yelled. “You will not speak again against me young boy, you hear me?”
“I did not…”
“Detention! Today afternoon”, she said and with that she went back in telling us that those ‘stupid stuff’ the Muggles have created are nothing but an attempt to threat the wizards.
I was still boiling from anger hours after the so called lesson. Luna and I were sitting outside under the shade of a beech tree. It was the same beech tree Harry and I have shared some great snogging moments under and the fact that I was too infuriated with the Carrow sister to let this affect the whole of me made me rather grateful. But I was still outraged.
“She is terrible”, Luna nodded after I finished my flaming speech against her.
“Terrible? Ha! She makes terrible looks good!”
“I thought Colin was very brave for telling her off”, Luna said and I nodded.
“Yeah, surprisingly he was. But is should have been me! Oh, wait until out next lesson and when she starts talking about how Muggles hang from trees and eat insects and you’ll see!”
“Don’t forget he got detention”, Luna said.
“I am not afraid of her!” I snarled.
“Be careful of your words, Ginny”, Neville said approaching us. He seemed wary and yet the lines of anger were still visible on his face.
“What do you mean?” I asked him. “What happened?”
“We just had our first Dark Arts lesson with Amycus”, Neville said.
“And?” Luna asked.
“His sister brought Colin in and he wanted us to use the Cruciatus curse upon him as detention”, Neville growled.
“NO WAY!” both Luna and I yelled in disbelief.
“Yes”, Neville nodded sitting down beside Luna. “Of course all the Gryffindors refused and even some Slytherins did but then Crabbe stepped in and said that he always wanted to try it”.
“Are you serious?”
“Yes”, Neville told Luna with the disgust obvious in his voice. “And then Crabbe started torturing Colin and I run to him and started yelling and then Amycus said that Crabbe could let Colin go and that he could torture me instead”.
“WHAT?” we both exclaimed again.
“Are you okay?” I asked concerned.
“Yes, because before Crabbe could do it Seamus and Parvati were next to me, telling him that he would have to torture them too”, Neville sighed. “He said that I was to get away with it this time but that if I do anything like that again I would be sorry”.
“But…” Luna asked confused. “But why did he let you get away with it and not Colin?”
“Why?” I laughed. “Because Colin is a Half Blood and Neville is a pureblood”.
Neville frowned at me.
“You make it sound like I’m one of them”, he said. “You are a pureblood too”.
“Correction, I am a well-established blood traitor”, I said. “And blood traitors are worse than purebloods and worse than Half Bloods. We’re just a scale up from Mudbloods”, I added proudly. Luna sighed and placed her hands at the side of her head.
“Why people categorize people?” she asked.
“Because it works better for them that way”, Neville said. “If you label something it’s easier to deal with it”.
I growled and sat next to them under the tree. This couldn’t keep happening. This was our school, not theirs. Those were the grounds that we belonged not where they belonged. We had to find a way to fight back.

Okay, so I'm back sooner than I thought!!!!! Please Read and Reply!!!!!!

Chapter 7 – An attempt to tip the scales
I stood up after a few minutes of silence and looked down at Neville and Luna, still sitting under the tree.
“We have to do something!”
“We know that Ginny, but what can we…?”
“You were the one who said it Luna! Let’s do it! Let’s bring Dumbledore’s Army together again!”
“But you said you weren’t…” Neville started saying but I shook my head in disagreement.
“I changed my mind”, I stated. “They should get to know exactly from what we’re made of…we should let them know”.
“Okay, then”, Neville said standing up with a huge smile on his face. “I’m in”.
“Lu?” I asked looking at her.
“Do you really have to ask?” she smiled standing up too.
“Well, it is a dangerous, life threatening task to go against Death Eaters after all”, I laughed.
“Yeah, but we can handle them”, she said with an air of total confidence.

It wasn’t easy, seeing how many of the old members of the DA had now graduated or given their blood status were forced to go into hiding or in the case of our leader (yeah you know who I am talking about-again) getting stalked by psycho killers; we were way lesser than the good old days.
At least all the old members that were still at Hogwarts agreed to come to the emergency meeting Neville, Luna and I called, using Hermione’s Galleons. Truth be told I was kind of nervous about what we were going to tell them. It’s not after all so easy to ask a bunch of kids – because that’s what we are – to risk their lives to stop the Death Eaters.
We had agreed that we’d met at the old good Room of Requirement. Luna and I arrived there almost a whole quarter earlier but to our astonishment Neville was already there and had already turned the room to what we wanted it to be; our old DA classroom.
As Luna and I stepped inside I felt like time had turned itself backwards; everything was the same. The pillows on the floor, the numerous books about defensive spells that Hermione spent hours reading, the Death Eater doll we practiced on…even the photo with the old members of the Order of the Phoenix was still there on the wall surrounded from two year old articles about escaping Death Eaters. It was like nothing had changed and I looked at the room around me, I half expected Harry to appear from some corner. But he wasn’t going to.
Because everything has changed, I reminded myself; and it was hard for me to believe that if the last time, when we had Harry and Hermione and Ron and my devious twin brothers on our side, Umbrige, that crazy toad, was able to catch us, we didn’t stand a chance now against the Death Eaters.
“Ginny? Ginny, hello?” Luna said shaking her hand in front of my face. It took almost all my determination not to let those thought bring me down and to put them aside.
“Yeah, sorry Luna, got lost for a minute”, I said and then, avoiding Luna’s knowing gaze, I walked over to Neville, who was sitting on a pillow. “How did you make it come back all by your own?”
“It was so hard, really”, Neville replied. “This room just needs to be asked the right thing”.
“You’re brilliant, Neville!” I told him and then laughed at the surprised face he took; not many people had called Neville brilliant in the seventeen years of his life. Idiots, every last one of them, and most of all Snape, who always underestimated Neville; I knew Neville was brilliant.
“So, they should be here anytime now”, Neville said after a while.
“Yeah”, Luna nodded. “Actually there was something I wanted to talk about with you two beforehand if you don’t mind”.
“What?” I asked.
“Well, don’t you think that if we are to do this, we’re gonna need a leader?” she said. No, I thought, we already have a leader.
“Yeah”, Neville said. “But I think that we should all vote; you know all the DA members”.
“I agree but since we are the ones to call them here, I think it would be prudent to already have a preposition ready for them”, Luna replied. “I was thinking that Ginny should be the leader”.
“M-Me?” I stammered.
“Yeah, you’re the girl for the job”, Neville smiled encouragingly.
“No, I can’t” I shook my head.
“But Ginny, you always have the best ideas and…”
“I said that I don’t want to, Neville”.
“Because of him?” Luna asked me and I felt my heart sunk; was I so obvious? But then I looked at Neville and realized he didn’t know what Luna was talking about. So, it wasn’t me, it was just Luna’s damn insight. How did she come to be so good at relationship stuff? She never had one for all I knew.
“Who?” Neville asked confused.
“No, Luna, because…because…”
“Ginny, is not that he’s gonna come back”, Luna said shaking her head.
“Oh, so we’re talking about Harry”, Neville realized.
“I know he’s not coming back, Luna”, I said ignoring Neville and crossing my arms to my chest; I do that when I’m in tense. “But that doesn’t mean that he is not the one who started the DA! Harry, Hermione and Ron did. So, Harry is the leader”.
“Why does it even matter who’s the leader?” Neville asked.
“Neville, shh”, Luna told him putting her finger on her lips. “Ginny, I know this must be hard for you but you can’t keep going with thinking that Harry will turn up at one point and save everyone and everything. He’s not a superhero; he’d just one person”.
“No, you’re wrong!” I said angrily. “Harry is not just one insignificant boy! Harry is one in the millionth and if there’s anyone who can defeat Volde…You-Know-Who, that’s him!”
“Ginny, I never said anything different”, Luna smiled.
“But, you just…”
“I only meant that no matter how much Harry will try, he can’t do everything by his own. Yes, I know he can defeat You-Know-Who, but he cannot defeat his army of Death Eaters and monsters by his own; we have to be there to help him. We have to fight too and not wait to be miraculously saved”.
I was left speechless by that. Did she just call me a coward? ME? Of course I wanted to fight with him, of course I wasn’t waiting for him to turn up and…and…
But then I realized how right Luna was. No matter what I told everyone and myself, I was waiting for Harry to come and save us, to come and save me. Not because I was afraid or anything but just because the fact that I might never see him again had frozen me so completely, that I lived day and night with the hope that he would return. And his return was linked in my mind with the end of war.
However, what Luna said was undeniable. Harry couldn’t stop the war all by his own and I, by staying fixed on how much I wanted to see him again and how much I missed him, I forgotten that what I felt wasn’t the important thing. And even if it was excruciating, Harry coming back wasn’t the important thing either. The important thing was to stop them. To stop Voldemort before he could do more harm.
I looked at Luna ready to talk to her and at the same time not knowing what to say, but a bang at the door stopped me. They were here. Neville got up and after giving Luna and me a nervous glance went to open it.
It was Seamus, Parvati and Lavender. Then more came and then more and soon all the remaining DA members were in the Room. It surprised me a bit that everyone was there. Ernie MacMillan, Hannah Abbot, Michael Corner (ex-boyfriend alert!), the Creevey brothers, Parvati’s twin sister, Terry Boot, Anthony Goldstein; almost everybody had replied.
They all sat on the pillows all around the room and then started looking around as if to see who had called them to come there. I looked at Luna and Neville and then gestured both of them to stand. They looked at each other confused and then all three of us stood in front of the people, who were obviously rather confused to see us standing in front of them.
“We called you here today”, Luna said raising my Galleon.
“Wait…you did?” Parvati asked as the rest of them looked even more confused.
“Why? Not what you expected?” I smiled smugly. “We think that under the current circumstances, and that is the Death Eaters taking over Hogwarts and the entire wizarding world, the DA should take action”.
“What do you mean ‘take action’?” Lavender asked.
“She means that we need to do something to stand up to them!” Neville spoke before I could. His face was full with the same determination that, I was certain, mine had.
“Yes, we should!” Ernie Macmillan said and there were some that nodded in agreement, even a few that cheered; yet I could see that the majority of them were scared. But we needed all of them and even more to have a chance to actually make something different.
“Listen to me”, I said and they turned their attention to me, but I wasn’t nervous anymore. We had to get over with this, so we could really take some action. “We cannot let the Death Eaters run Hogwarts! This is our school! This is our school and they turned it into their propaganda shelter! They use the Cruciatus curse upon students! What are they gonna do next? Start killing us for fun? It wouldn’t be so unsuited given they place a murderer as our Headmaster!”
I could feel the unfairness in this whole story suffocating me and all I could do was yell the things I believed. And it was relieving, to let some of my anger out, and they agreed with me. Some started cheering enthusiastically, Ernie and Seamus stood up and the rest of them just nodded in agreement. Was it really that easy?
“And who is to say that all of that are true?”
Damn that Zacharias Smith! Who the hell had invited that git? It was kind of odd that he came. He always wanted to contradict Harry in everything he said and that just irritated me in no end.
“What do you mean?” Neville asked perplexed.
“Well, the Prophet had another version of Dumbledore’s death than the one we’ve been told last year”, he said.
I felt his words ringing in my ears. What? WHAT? Another version? Another version the lies they said about Harry? He really must have no sense of self preservation to say that sentence in front of me. Yet before I could, oh I don’t know, cast the Bat Boogey hex on him, I was cut off by Neville. I watched in total astonishment as Neville drew his wand and pointed it right in Zacharias’ face. The rest of the DA gasped and some of them even took some steps back, while Zacharias was too taken aback to react. When Neville spoke however his voice was surprisingly calm and didn’t match with the fury in his eyes.
“Yes, Zacharias, the Death Eaters and You-Know-Who spread a different version of the story. They claimed that Harry Potter had something to do with it, didn’t they?” he said; more gasps. “Well, you listen to me my friend. This is an organization that Harry started and he only did it to help us, to teach us enough so when the time comes that we’ll have to fight for our lives, we’ll be ready. He did it for us. So don’t you dare to even speak a word against him or I swear the Carrows will be nothing comparing to me!”
God Bless Neville Longbottom! I always knew he had in him!
“Right”, I sighed, my voice kind of harsh from the anger that still hadn’t gone away. “What you must all understand”, I said piercing Zacharias with my eyes, “is that if you want to be part of this, part of the reconstituted DA, you should do it because you’re against You-Know-Who and because you still have faith in Dumbledore and in Harry. We’re doing this to help”, I added and gave Luna a small smile, which she returned encouragingly. “You-Know-Who has his army of Death Eaters and Dementors and other monsters. Well, Harry Potter will have an army too…Dumbledore’s Army!”
That seems to have done it. They all stood up almost simultaneously and started cheering and yelling. Dumbledore’s Army had just been resurrected.

Sorry it took so long...Please R&R

Chapter 8 – Show time
While Luna thought that it would be best if I became the new DA leader, I disagreed. All three of us had organized this reunion, so all three of us should be leaders. Neville was dumbstruck and Luna doubtful when I announced it to the rest of the DA, but thankfully everybody else seemed to agree; although I know some, like Ernie and Seamus, would like the title. I didn’t really care, for me Harry was still our leader.
We broke off our first meeting after a while. We would meet again soon, but we didn’t actually arranged it because we had learned the bad way that even walls had ears; so, when Luna, Neville and me wanted to call another meeting, we would just send the message through Hermione’s ingenious Galleons.
Neville and Luna were just as excited as I was and we were already discussing what our first official attempt against the Death Eaters should be. We were so excited that we wanted to call another meeting the next day, but it turned out that it wasn’t easy.
At first, I couldn’t understand how it was and we couldn’t fix a meeting because too many of our members were busy, but then I saw that the Carrows were throwing detentions like crazy. After a week, I started realizing that it wasn’t because the Carrows had gotten more vicious, it was because after our meeting, most of the members had gotten mouthier. For what it’s worth we were driving them mad, but as the second week without a meeting ended, I knew we had to get them under control.
After I spoke with Luna and Neville we fixed a meeting; tonight at midnight. That, of course, would mean one thing and one thing only: students out of bed!

Neville, Luna and I didn’t actually sneak out. After dinner we went straight at the Room of Requirement and waited there. We entered though to find that we weren’t the only ones, who had thought of that.
“Parvati, Lavender! What are you gals doing here?” Neville asked them as we found them inside.
“We thought we should stay here until midnight”, Lavender explained.
“How do you expect everyone to get out of bed at midnight?” Parvati snapped before Lavender could even finish her sentence. “A school filled with wondering children; don’t you think they’re going to notice that?”
“Well, we didn’t really have a choice, Parvati” I told her. “We’ve been trying to organize a meeting for about two weeks now and every time someone cannot do it!”
“Yes, because they out there getting detentions, following what you said!”
“We never said we should be careless. This is not a game”, Luna said calmly.
“Whatever”, Lavender said before Parvati could speak and then she run close to me. “Ginny, tell me did you have any news?”
I forced myself (with difficulty) not to roll my eyes. Same thing every day. Ever since Lavender (my brother’s ex), learned that Ron is home with spattergroit (because there was no chance I would reveal the truth to anyone else) and that Hermione had apparently run off with Harry (what an absurd thought!) she begun bugging me about how his health was and when he would be coming back to school and how she was able to forgive him.
“There’s no change, Lavender, I am so terribly sorry”, I said using a sweet face voice, but she didn’t seem to realize how filled with irony it was.
“Anyway”, Parvati cut in before Lavender could go on (thankfully). “After everyone’s here what are we gonna do?”
“Well, we do have a plan”, Neville smirked.

It was two long hours. Parvati and Lavender can be really irritating after a while and I really couldn’t understand how my brother could have ever gone out with one of them; then again my older brother, Bill, had married Phlegm (although I had to admit that over Lavender I would choose Fleur any day). As I heard her gone on about how Ron should have never left her, I wished that wherever he was, he would have finally made a move with Hermione, though knowing what a thick head he had I doubted it.
Finally, when midnight arrived so did the first of our members. When the last one (Zacharias) came through the door I started explaining why the drill with the detentions couldn’t keep up. It wasn’t just the fact that we couldn’t fix a meeting, after a while the Carrows would take note who was that caused all the mess, not to mention that all had several bruises and hits from their so called ‘educating’ punishments.
“But you can’t expect us to just sit there and listen to them!” Ernie snapped. He had a deep cut on his cheek, one Crabbe was rather eager to do, after Ernie gave Alecto some mouthy retorts. I exhaled deeply; truth be told I had been able to retain myself until now but I didn’t know for how long I could keep this up and Neville already had the Cruciatus curse set upon him, because he punched Zabini, for saying stuff about his parents.
“We can make a deal”, Luna said.
“What kind of a deal?” I asked her.
“Well, we’re gonna have a limit”, she explained. “Nobody can go up three detentions in a week”.
“That’s crazy”, Ernie laughed.
“Yeah, what else did you expect from Looney?” Zacharias called back. Luna’s face turned red but she looked steadily at him.
“It’s an awful thing to call someone crazy, just because their beliefs do not agree with yours”, she said with her dreamy voice. “Isn’t that what the Death Eaters do?”
Neville smirked at Luna’s retort and at the exasperated expression Zacharias took.
“Okay”, he said then. “It’s the only way we can have more regular meetings”, he told Ernie then. “So, agreed? Nobody gets detentions over three times a week”.
They nodded and then Zacharias got up.
“And where are you going?” I asked confused.
“Well, I thought the meeting was over and that we were…”
“No”, I shook my head.

“Tell me again, why we’re doing this?” Parvati whispered in my ear. I forced myself not to exhale.
“Because we have to start somewhere”, I explained for the thousand time.
“But how painting a wall is going to help?” Colin asked as he, Parvati and Ernie were lined behind me.
We made a draw about who would go on this first mission and to my excitement, to Parvati’s irritation, to Colin’s fright and to Ernie’s satisfaction, we were the outcome. Neville wasn’t too pleased with it either and I guessed it was because he wanted in, but what to do. I was pretty amazed at how all the frustration and fear I’ve been carrying around ever since Harry, Ron and Hermione left, was all gone at the sight of adrenaline. I wanted this, I needed this.
The plan was simple. We would sneak outside the Headmaster’s office (because I was stubbornly refusing to call it Snape’s office) and write some slogans on the wall outside for him to see. I only wished I could be there when he would actually see it.
“We are letting them know we have taken action”, Parvati went on. “Don’t you think that’s kind of reckless?”
“No”, I repeated for the twentieth time this night. “It’s not reckless, but you need to have guts to do it, do you?”
Parvati scowled and I tried not to smirk; if you want to get a Gryffindor motivated just imply that they’re acting with cowardice, works every time.
We reached the Headmaster’s office after a while; thankfully with no trouble and I would want to keep it that way.
“Okay, so we’re here”, Ernie sighed. “But we don’t have any paint, how are we…?”
“We use magic, duh!” Parvati said before I could talk. I nodded in agreement (who would have thought?).
“Okay, come on” I said as I raised my wand.
“What do we write?” Colin asked.
“Stuff like Dumbledore’s Army and Take a Stand and like that”, Ernie replied and then turned to me for confirmation. Okay, I could not say that having the spot of one of the leaders isn’t kind of odd for me.
“Um…yeah, right”, I nodded again.
They got to work making paint emerge from their wands, but as they started writing, I was staring at my piece of the wall intrigued. What should I write? I looked to side. Ernie was writing ‘WE’RE BACK; BEWARE’ (too much of a cliché for my liking but whatever). Colin was writing ‘Dumbledore’s Army Still Fighting’ (simple but it will do). Parvati was writing ‘YOU CAN’T BRING US DOWN, WE HAVE SOULS’ (I was amazed how good that sounded; she was good in making up slogans). I turned back at my unwritten part of the wall. What should I write? What I want to write? And then I knew the answer.
When the others finished with their job, they turned to me and I was just finishing the ‘E’ in Snape’s name. I looked upon our creation satisfied. Snape was definitely going to have a heart attack! Ha!
“Who’s Dumbledore’s murderer, Snape?” Ernie read what I wrote. “Huh, and here I thought this wasn’t supposed to be personal”.
“But it is”, Parvati said before I could talk. She was gazing up at what I wrote with an angered face and for a moment I thought she was gonna start yelling at me, but then she turned at Ernie. “It is personal for each and every one of us”, she said and then I realized that her anger wasn’t for me and it wasn’t for Ernie either; it was for the Death Eaters. “They killed Dumbledore, just like they killed my little cousin last year. They are murderers and we have to let the world know that!”
Ernie mumbled something like ‘okay’ and then turned away from her to widen his eyes to Colin. I was left speechless. I never really thought Parvati had it in her, but yet again bad things bring suppressed stuff out of people. Her little cousin? As we were clearing the mess we made at the floor, I was trying to think of who Parvati was talking about and then I remembered that she was related to the Montgomery sisters and that they’ve lost their little brother to Greyback last year. I tried not to shiver but it was hard to do so. That werewolf was the one who had gotten Bill almost killed last year too.
At first I was too immersed in my thoughts to notice the steps that were approaching but Collin tagged to my sleeve and then I realized it. Someone was climbing the stairs behind the gargoyle that was the entrance to the Headmaster’s office. Snape? A Carrow? Or maybe all of them? We looked at each other scared, knowing we didn’t have time to run because until we would reach the end of the hall, they would be able to see us.
“Hide!” I commanded and then I grabbed Colin’s arm and pushed him behind the wing of the gargoyle. Ernie grabbed Parvati and they hid behind one of the castle’s suits of armour, which stood a few meters away from the wall we wrote our slogans on. I felt Colin gasp next to me as the ground beneath us moved as the gargoyle was turning to the side to let whoever was inside come out. I placed my palm upon his mouth to stop him from repeating the drill as Snape emerged from the opening followed by Alecto and yet another Death Eater I couldn’t recognize because he or she wore one of their disgusting masks.
I watched as Snape stopped right in front of me and the others turned to face him. I was inched from him and he had no idea that I was here; I could so easily raise my wand and blow his irritating face and his greasy, black hair out of sight. But I forced myself to stay put, as quiet as possible, for the sake of the others.
“I’m telling you, we ain’t capable to control those little monsters all by our own anymore, Snape”, Alecto said.
“And I have already told you that you shall not bring any more Death Eaters in here, Alecto!” Snape said with his cold voice. Alecto seemed to disagree but it was obvious that she was wary to go up against Snape. Huh. I guess murdering Albus Dumbledore was good for Snape’s career as a Death Eaters, wasn’t it?
“Now, now, Alecto”, spoke the other Death Eater and I realized it was a woman and if my memory was serving me right, the voice I just heard belonged to a woman Death Eater, I remembered very well from our trip to the Ministry in my fourth year. Bellatrix Lestrange pulled her mask off and revealed her face; I felt Colin shivering behind me and it was hard for me to keep myself from gasping. The woman who killed Sirius, the woman who tortured Neville’s parents to madness.
“Watch it, Alecto”, she said with a sweet voice that hardly matched her cold eyes. “You don’t want to upset our Headmaster here, do you?”
“Bellatrix…” Snape started and I realized there was some restrained annoyance in his voice. Internal rivalries? Probably.
“But why don’t you want more Death Eaters here, Snape? Someone might think that you’re actually concerned about all those kids!”
“Of course I am!” he retorted. I raised my eyebrows. “They are our future! The next generation of Death Eaters!”
“Slytherins aren’t the ones who are causing the trouble”, Alecto said.
“No, but you heard what our master said”, Snape said. “The more we influence the better”.
“Then why not bring more people that can influence them here?” Bellatrix asked. “Isn’t it better to…” but she stopped at her tracks and her eyes widened in shock. I realized that she noticed the wall we had painted. “What the hell is that, Snape?”
Snape turned and I could see his face as he read what we wrote. It was turning paler and paler, but I couldn’t read his eyes, that widened as he read what I had written. I smirked in satisfaction as my wish had been granted; I got to see his reaction.
“Blasphemy!” Alecto spat. “You see? You see that they do not respect anything anymore? They must learn that these kind of absurd things aren’t tolerated under our new regime!”
“And you said that you could control them all by your own!” Bellatrix laughed, but her temper was obviously raised as she approached the wall.
“I assure you my dear Bellatrix that whoever did this is going to be sorry”, Snape said with a calm voice. I wondered how he was able to control his rage so good; he must really be a good actor. But then again he should be a good actor to have fooled Dumbledore for all those years.
“I tell you the Dark Lord needs to know about what’s going on in his school”, Alecto said.
His school? From all the terrible things I had heard that woman say that was the worse. This was our school! Our school not Voldemort’s! How dared she? I felt my hands trembling from anger and I clenched them into fists. This was the blasphemy, not what we wrote on the wall.
“The Dark Lord is fully aware of everything, Alecto. How many times must I say that?” Snape shouted and I was surprised to see how he had lost it over this and not when he saw what we wrote; it was almost like he was angered because Alecto called this Voldemort’s school, just like I was. But that was a silly thought. “The Dark Lord is going to be very angry with us, if he thinks we cannot do the job he has assigned to us, Alecto”.
Oh, so that was why he was so angered. He was scared of Voldemort’s punishment.
“But…”
“No but!” Snape shouted again. “We must do this right by our own, you hear me! I am not going to fail him!”
My nails were pressed against my palm so hard that soon I would draw blood. Hearing Snape say those things, how he didn’t want to fail Voldemort, while for all those years we thought he was on Dumbledore’s side, on our side, on Harry’s side, was infuriating.
“The paint is fresh”, Bellatrix said then, who was still examining the wall. Oh, no.
“What?” Snape asked.
“The paint is fresh”, she repeated turning to face him as she pulled her wand from her robes. “They must still be somewhere around here”. Damn!
“You’re right!” Alecto seemed to agree and pulled out her wand too. Okay, so we’re screwed.
“Come on”, Snape said with disbelief. “You can’t believe that they’ll actually be so stupid as to stick around after they finished the job?”
“Well, maybe they didn’t have time to do so, because we came and maybe they’re hidden somewhere”, Bellatrix said looking around; her eyes fell on the suit of armour. “Maybe behind this armour”, she said approaching it.
I felt like my heart was going to leave my chest. She was going to find Ernie and Parvati! I pulled my wand from my robes, ready for the moment she would find them, because there was no way I was leaving them go through it alone.
“Bellatrix!” Snape called after her and she turned to him a few meters from reaching the spot Ernie and Parvati were. “This is ridiculous and anyway I thought you were here to deliver a message. The message is delivered; we should guard Gryffindor’s sword with our best magic in case Dumbledore had an actual reason for leaving it to Potter. Okay, we got it! Isn’t it time for you to leave now?”
“Are you throwing me out?” she asked irritated walking back to him.
“Well, as must as I love your company, I don’t like the tone of criticism you have, dear Bellatrix”.
“Criticism is needed from time to time”, she replied.
“Really? You don’t seem to be taking it so good”.
“You…”
“Will you please stop fighting so we can spot the brats?’ Alecto cut in.
“They are not around here anymore, Alecto, I’m telling you”, Snape rolled his eyes.
Wow, Bellatrix was a bit more witted from him for sure. He seemed convinced we weren’t there and he wasn’t even letting them search. Not a bright idea, but it worked for us.
“Now forgive me but it’s late and I have to get up early in the morning”, he added.
Bellatrix grunted but turned her back at them and without any sign of goodbye she walked down the hall and disappeared right at the first corner. Alecto stood there confused for a bit, but then she whispered something like ‘goodnight’ to Snape and left too. Snape exhaled deeply when she disappeared and when she did, he turned to the wall with a wary expression on his face. With a flick of his wand the words we had written were gone. Then he walked right back into the opening and the gargoyle moved to its previous place to hide the opening. They were gone.
Colin exhaled relieved beside me and I couldn’t help but letting out a little relieved sigh as well. After a few moments I dragged Colin out of our hiding place, just us Parvati and Ernie were coming out from theirs. They seemed really frightened.
“Oh, God” Parvati managed to whisper.
“I really thought she was going to find you guys!” I said.
“I know, I did too!” Ernie nodded. “Thank God Snape isn’t as devious as she is, huh?”
“Yeah”, Parvati nodded. “Even if he actually wanted her not to find us he wouldn’t have done it so well!”
“Can we go now?” Colin asked.
“Yes”, I nodded. “And quick”.
As we said goodnight to Ernie as he drifted off to the Hufflepuff dormitory and the three of us sneaked carefully back to ours, I could only think of one thing. Gryffindor’s sword.

Sorry it took me so long to post guys....To tell you the truth I was thinking about giving up on this story, but since I have new readers and the old still want me to post, I think I'll try to manage it... Please read and review and mostly tell me if you want me to change anything...

Chapter 9 – We weren’t born to follow
“I don’t understand”, Luna said shaking her head and making me exhaled impatiently.
For the last week I’ve been trying for a couple of hours every day to convince Neville and Luna to help me accomplish the plan I had formed in my mind. Ever since that night, that we almost got caught by the Death Eaters, I couldn’t stop thinking that there was really one way to make them take us seriously and really hit them: to steal Gryffindor’s sword. I didn’t know why, but somehow the fact that Voldemort wanted it protected and the fact that Dumbledore left it to Harry, made me think that this sword was far more important that even Snape realized. I just needed to get it. The fact that this was the sword that Harry had used to kill the Basilisk and save me from Voldemort in my first year was of course completely irrelevant….Oh, so I keep telling to myself.
Anyway, the fact remained that it was crucial for us to take it, but Luna and Neville were somehow reluctant to help me. After what we did that night and after the slogans we had written, Snape called the entire school and told us all that when and if he gets the slightest suspicion about who did it, he or she would wish they were Muggles and had never come to Hogwarts. In other words a couple of cruciatus curses and some bruises; the Carrows’ favorite.
Neville and Luna weren’t scared; it wasn’t that, they just thought that it was a reckless idea and that we could jeopardize the entire DA, something I found absurd.
“What don’t you understand, Lu?” I asked her while we walked to Transfiguration class, trying my best to sound polite but it only came out as impatient again.
“Why are you being so stubborn about this?”
“Because I’m a Leo, what’s your excuse?” I retorted angrily and Luna only rolled her eyes at me and opened the door to McGonagall’s classroom.
McGonagall was a strict teacher but I always admired her and believed her to be one of the best things Hogwarts had to offer us. This year my belief was proved right, since she was the only teacher with the nerve to stand up to them, to tell them off and to stop them from hurting students even to her own expense; not that everybody else was willing to turn us in to the Death Eaters, but McGonagall who would do anything to keep the students out of harm’s way and we all appreciated that.
I usually took a seat at the front desks at her class, but today I wanted to make another attempt to convince Luna to go for the sword, so I led her to the back of the class. She followed me, letting out a small sigh that made me think that she already knew what I had in mind. She was right. McGonagall had to tell us to stop whispering during class more than three times.
“Ginny, I understand everything that you say…”
“But?”
“But I’m not sure”, she sighed.
“Luna…”
“Listen, how about you talk about it to Neville to and if you achieve at convincing him, I promise that I will follow you”, she said giving up. I beamed at her and then kissed her cheek.
“Thanks friend”, I said.
“If you convince Neville!” she called after me as I jumped up the moment the bell rang and run out of the class. I found Neville after a while sitting under the beech tree near the lake. He had a free period; weren’t they supposed to have NEWTs to deal with this year? And then Alecto was trying to tell us that the whole Death Eater turn our school had taken was the best thing that could have happened to our education. At least he had a book in front of him. I sat down next to him, looking at the cover of it. Herbology. Of course.
“Hey”, he said.
“Tonight Luna and I will go to the Headmaster’s office to steal the sword”, I told him.
“WHAT?” he exclaimed dropping his book down, jumping up and hitting the back of his head on the tree as he did so. I rolled my eyes as he swayed a bit and then sat back down, rubbing his head. Old habits die hard. “What did you say?”
“I would love to see all that again but I think you got what I said the first time, Neville”, I grinned.
“Ginny…you…Luna…YOU CAN’T!” he exclaimed and I eyed him outraged.
“Nobody tells me what to do, Neville Longbottom”, I said.
“It’s too dangerous”, he went ignoring me.
“Well, maybe it would be less dangerous if we had at least one more person there to help us, but what to do”, I sighed innocently. Neville growled at me.
“Do you seriously think that I’m going to leave you do this by your own?” he asked.
“No?”
“Of course not! But…”
“Thanks Neville!” I exclaimed. “I gotta go now, because I’ll be late for the next period”, I added jumping up. “We’ll arrange things at dinner”.
“But…but…Ginny!” Neville called after me and I was gone.
Admittedly Hermione was the best at diplomatic approaches, I usually just blasted the hell off of anyone who disagreed with me (kidding…mostly), but that didn’t mean that I couldn’t get my way if I wanted to. I walked to class alone, trying to ignore the fact that the tree Neville was sitting under was the same tree Harry and I had shared most of our happy moments.

We never went to dinner. Luna and I discussed that it would be better for us to go for the sword, when everyone, including Snape, would be dinning at the Great Hall. So as the rest of the school was enjoying the dinner the house elves had made for tonight, the three of us were walking carefully towards Snape’s office.
As I glanced back to see if anyone was coming, I noted mentally that Neville was holding Luna’s hand. I turned back front, letting me mind race. What if things worked between them and they ended up together? Now that I was thinking of it they kind of fitted together. My precious remaining friends together. Wouldn’t that be amazing? Luna and Neville, Hermione and Ron, me and…
I shut my eyes only for a moment, feeling bitterness engulfing me, but then I opened them again, knowing that this was probably the worst moment for me to get depressed over the fact that I did not have Harry anymore. Still I wasn’t as focused as I should be, and as a result I bumped on a statue.
“Ginny! Are you okay?” Neville said. I rubbed my head muttering that I was okay between curses under my breath.
“Come on”, I said and turned the corner to come face down to the gargoyle that led to the Headmaster’s office.
“Um…how exactly are we gonna get…?”
“Password?” the gargoyle said interrupting Luna.
“…get pass the gargoyle?” she finished her sentence.
I sighed.
“Listen”, I addressed the statue. “We need to get in and we do not know the password, you gotta let us in”.
“Ginny, you do realize that it is a magically alive statue not an actual living creature, right?” Neville asked.
“Actually, daddy thinks that some statues are in fact living people who were turned to this state because of the look of medusa and…”
“Okay, Luna”, I stopped her. “How are we gonna get in?” I asked them.
The moment I finished my sentence, we heard footsteps coming from the other side. There we go again. I grabbed Luna and hid her behind the gargoyle just like I had done with Colin, while Neville followed us. We waited, holding our breaths and the gargoyle started turning. I sighed with relief when it was finally open and three house elves emerged from the inside. Just as they started walking away carrying a pile of clothes, I pushed Neville and Luna inside and barely got inside myself before the gargoyle was turned to its previous position.
“Lucky day”, Neville said.
“Yes, it appears that the stars are with us”, Luna nodded. I rolled my eyes and walked down the stairs.
It was obvious when we entered the office that Snape had left his mark inside the room. There were bottles with strange-looking potions and various other objects that I was sure Dumbledore wouldn’t even approve of. I glanced up to see his portrait. I was hoping for a talk with him, I was hoping that he would tell us how brave we’ve been and that he could convince that whatever he sent Harry off to do, he’ll be okay in the end. But unfortunately he wasn’t in his portrait; how frustrating. The other Headmasters and Headmistresses were there though and when they saw they all started talking together, criticizing our unauthorized visit there.
“We’re only trying to stop Snape”, I told them.
“And a great job you kids will do”, a man said ironically.
“Where is that sword?” Neville asked looking around. I glanced up to the wall but it wasn’t there anymore.
“Snape must have hidden it somewhere”, I said. “Let’s search”.
My words made the portraits start yelling rather too loud for my liking.
“Muffliato!” I yelled. At least no one would hear us from the outside; the spell courtesy of Miss Hermione, where she found it I did not know.
Luna, Neville and I started searching around the room; Neville started searching the big cabinet, Luna the shelves on the right wall and I the desk. I opened some drawers to find nothing but useless stuff in it. I was getting irritated. What did that man do with the sword? I knelt down to open the last drawer. Nothing. I was about to close it when something got my eye. It was a picture.
I took it in my hands and looked at it better. It was the picture of a very beautiful woman; at least the woman was what was left of the picture because it seemed to be torn in half. She was laughing blissfully; her red hair, only a shade more light than mine, was falling on her shoulders. I had the strange feeling that I had seen her before, but yet I was sure I hadn’t met her in real life; maybe I had seen another picture of her.
“I found it!” Neville yelled from somewhere on my left. I looked up to see him brandishing the sword.
“Good, let’s go”, Luna nodded.
I turned my attention back at the woman on the picture. I didn’t know why but I felt like taking the picture with me.
“Ginny, let’s go”, Neville said and I nodded getting up still holding the picture in my hands. We started walking towards the stairs, my eyes not leaving the picture. Suddenly I stopped dead.
“What?” Luna asked turning to see me.
I had just realized who the woman was. I had seen another picture of her before; of course, the eyes were just the same. But why the hell that picture was there? That the hell Snape wanted with that picture?
“Ginny, what’s wrong?” Neville asked me. I looked up still shocked.
“Wha…? Nothing”, I mumbled. “Let’s go”.
“What is that?” he asked looking at the back of the picture in my hands.
“You won’t believe…” I started but I never got to finish my sentence because this time we heard the footsteps too late and before we even managed to blink, Snape, Alecto and Amycus appeared on the top of the stairs.
