THE ROOM OF REQUIREMENT was decorated in misteltoes and Christmas light. Christmas wasn't that long away now and this was the last time that the DA would meet, before the holidays started.
"Okay, this evening we should just go over the things we've done so far, because it's the last meeting before the holidays and there's no point starting anything new right before a three-week break—", Harry stated his wand in his hand while his gaze wandered over the crowd of students that we're gathered infront of him.
"We're not doing anything new?", Zacharias Smith whispered loudly enough for his voice to be carried through the whole room. "If I'd known that, I wouldn't have come."
"We're really sorry Harry didn't tell you, then", Fred said loudly, while starring the boy down. Several people sniggered at Fred's sarcastic comment.
But Harry just chose to ignore the comments, "— We can practice in pairs— We'll start with the Impediment Jinx, for ten minutes, then we can get out the cushions and try stunning again." His voice was firm and he had clearly gotten used to giving the instructions now.
They then all paired up obediently and soon the room was full of cries of "Impedimenta".
Annabeth was partnered up with Neville and to her surprise the boy had gotten quiet good over time. He stunned her quite a few times and after the lesson was over she clapped him onto his shoulder. "You're getting really good at this, Neville."
The boy smiled at her proudly, his chest growing bigger, "Thank you."
The crowd gathered in the middle of the room and Annabeth took her place next to Harry while she spoke, "You're getting all very good! I think, when we get back from the Holidays we can start practicing some of the big stuff— maybe even Patronuses."
There was a murmur of excitement going through the crowd and everyone was seemingly excited. They all wished each other great holidays and then the room slowly cleared out.
