-[93] The DA-

[Y/N POV]

''This is mad! Who'd want to be taught by me? I'm a nutter, remember?'' Harry exclaimed as we walked in the streets of Hogmeade. Well, Hermione leading us to a place.

''Look on the bright side. You can't be any worse than old toad face.'' Ron said as I chocked back my laughter.

''Thanks Ron.'' Harry said sarcastically.

''I'm here for you mate.'' Ron said as I snorted.

''Who's supposed to be meeting us then?'' I asked Hermione.

''Just a couple of people.'' Hermione answered as we reached Hogs head. Ron opened the door as we made eye contact with a man. He then chased after a goat.

''Lovely spot.'' Ron and I said at the same time.

''I thought it'd be safer somewhere off the beaten track.'' Hermione said as I shrugged and pulled the two boys inside. We all sat as we waited for the people. Many people filled the empty space. 

''Um...hi. So...you all know why we're here.  We need a teacher. A proper teacher. One who's had real experiences defending themselves against the Dark Arts.'' Hermione explained as all the people who were invited came. Most of them were Gryffindors and there were scatters of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff but not a Slytherin in sight.

''Why?'' Someone asked.

''Why!? Cause you-know-who is back, you tosspot.'' Ron said as I held his hand to calm him down.

''So he says.'' The boy argued.

''So Dumbledore says.'' Hermione said.

''So Dumbledore says because he says. The point is, where's the proof? If Potter could tell us more about how Diggory got killed...'' Another boy said as I stood up my chair.

''No one will talk about Cedric.'' I growled lowly as everyone cowarded back.

''I'm not going to talk about Cedric so if that's why you're here, you might as well clear out now.'' Harry said putting and arm around my shoulder, him standing up too.

''Come on Hermione, let's go. They're just here cause they all think I'm sort of freak.'' Harry harshly whispered.

''Harry's right.'' I whispered as the bushy haired girl opened her mouth to speak but a voice cut her off.

''Is it true you can produce a Patronus Charm?'' Luna asked as I thanked her silently for difussing the tension.

''Yes. He and Y/N/N can conjure. I've seen it.'' Hermione said as I bowed my head, not liking the attention.

''Blimey! I didn't kow you both could do that.'' Dean said.

''And Harry killed a Basilisk with the sward in Dumbledore's office.'' Neville said as I smiled.

''It's true.'' Ginny and I said at the same time.

''Third year, he fought off about 100 dementors at once.'' Ron added.

''And last year, he really did fight off you-know-who in the flesh.'' Hermione finished.

''Wait. Look, it all sounds great when you say it like that, but the truth is, most of that was just luck and Y/N/N helping me. I didn't know what I was doing half the time, and I nearly always had help.'' Harry said as I huffed.

''He's just beig modest.'' I said.

''No Y/N/N, I'm not. Facing this stuff in real life is not like school. In school, if you make a mistake, you can just try again tomorrow. But out there...when you're second away from being murdered or watching a friend die right before you eyes...you don't know what that's like.'' Harry explained as he unwrapped his arm around my shoulder and sat down. I sat down too as I put my hand on his as he gave me a tired smile.
