Defense Against The Dark Arts

The Plan.

This plan has very minimal editing from me as I copy-pasted it into wattpad. As inspiration strikes for a random scene, I go back and add it into the plan. One thing I did change here is the chapter numbers, as I added in chapters to the plan, it was easier to put 37.5 rather than two 37's or to change the rest of the later numbers. I hope you enjoy reading my thought process behind this fic.

32: inquisitorial squad is set up "nice badge draco. Whats the I stand for?"lots of newspapers in this one. Rita skeeter has harry's interview, azkaban mass breakout and who are the mysterious vandals? Some more fighting scenes with selene. Luna (a girl from ravenclaw who decided to spend our lessons without shoes and instead of juggling, balanced the balls on her head) tells them at the end of their lesson that she greatly admires Racheal's work, "I aspire to be able to create a piece of work that so easily captivates Zorles. They are all over the painting, you know. It's what causes the letters to spin." The letters do not spin. I vaguely wonder about telling Luna about dyslexia.

33: someone mentions nico's necromantic grandfather - a ravenclaw, obviously, and he's like ooof lmao what yeah, i can control skeletons, what you gonna do about it and demonstrates by making a skeleton come out of the ground. They get one of the students to fix the floor before leaving

34: Trelawny gets fired and they start doing patronuses in the da. the inquisitorial squad interrupts the da meeting. Most people get out in time, but harry and selene are left, so nico shadowtravels them out, so there is no one in there when they come.

35: selene and harry interrogate nico about his shadow traveling powers. He and percy make up a story saying it is a fairly unknown branch of very dark magic and that you need a lot of power to do it. They believe him

36: Dumbledore calls pernico up to his office, and when they arrive, hermione, ron and harry are all there. He tells them all about how he thinks there are still 4 horcruxes left, and that they need to help him hunt them down. Nico and percy are like yh man but why are these three here? And he's like "They can help!1!!" Percy and Nico tell him they have school work to be doing, and that they are 15 why should they be part of a war? Harry huffs all indignant and says "You're like three years older? Why should you two do it?" "so you don't have to! I know what it's like to fight as though you're the only person that can change something, but you don't have to!" Dumbledore's face goes all stony and he's like "Harry has a connection to Vold-" "Had," Nico interrupts. "The connection is gone. He's not a horcrux any more" "he's met voldemort before-" "I've met him a grand total of zero times, yet I''ve got rid of three horcruxes so far. I don't think knowing him has anything to do with it." "THREE?" "Yeah lmao we found one a few week after arriving here." "How?" I wave him off " secret. Anyway , we aren't involving children in your battles." "What if," Hermione quietly says, "If we found out what and where the horcruxes are, but you are the ones to destroy them. That way we wont be fighting, but we still will be useful. We can continue with AUDA as well, and make sure everyone can at least defend themselves." "tfs AUDA" says dumbledore. Eventually they agree the golden trio can do work in the background. "I suppose there's no point in telling them that I could just take a quick trip down to dad and ask him what the other horcruxes are, is there?" "Lets use that as a back up plan."

37: Hermione plus ron and harry tell pernico about the deathly hallows and how they think voldy has an extra powerful wand. She sketches a picture, and it's the same one that is one pernico's ceiling. So what does him having a more powerful wand mean? Nico asks. "Dunno, apparently it's unbeatable" "I am familiar with defeating unbeatable things," (Most namely winning the camp fire kareoke cup, stealing the position from Austin. This may have been slightly rigged because of the skeleton backup dancers)

38: harry tries to call sirius on the mirror (he is overheard during one of his lessons by nico or percy) but sirius doesn't pick up, instead kreature does and tells him he is in the department of mysteries. He instantly goes to nico and harry because he knows nico could go in and check
