A Soul Bond - HP fanfic

Chapter 29. Dumbledore's Army.

"You know what? I'm tired of the school not letting us use magic, or more so, of the Ministry being afraid that Dumbledore is forming an army and that's why we can't use magic. It's absurd!" Steph said, since Evelyn and Harry had told her about Harry's talk with Sirius. 

Harry has grown comfortable with Steph being in the equation. He knows that Eve tells her everything since she's her best friend and he's fine with that. 

They were in the backyard with Ron and Hermione as well since they all had free period. 

"You know what I've been thinking?" Hermione said, everyone looked at her curious as to what has she been thinking about. Hopefully something that would help the situation. "We need a proper teacher that can help us with real magic. Lupin was the best teacher we've had, but since he is not here at school anymore, we need someone like him." 

"Like who?" Ron asked. "Mc Gonagall will never go against the school or the ministry's rules." 

"Not her either. She's too strict for her own good." Eve said. Everyone agreed. 

"I was thinking more like... someone like us." 

"You mean, a student?" Steph asked. 

"Exactly." She said. "Think who has ever faught using real magic and doing it successfully?" 

Without saying another word, everyone looked at Harry. Harry, not really paying attention, when he finally did, he understood what was happening. "Wait- wait, I can't be a teacher-" 

"Oh why not? You are the best at defending yourself. You've gone through so much-" 

"Yes, it all sounds great but it's not that easy." 

"Harry, I'm with Hermione here. We need someone who can help us defend ourselves, and you're our best option." Eve said trying to help out. But she could also tell that Harry didn't want to. 

He was nervous. The thought of having to teach them magic seems almost impossible. He was no teacher. 

"Didn't you fight Dementors?" Steph asked. 

"He did." Hermione said. "I was there, it was amazing." 

"Okay, it all sounds amazing, but I've had luck. I've always had help." 

"Oh please Harry. We really need someone we can trust. And we all trust you." Hermione insisted. 

"You've been thinking this for a while, haven't you?" Harry asked. 

"I have. But because I'm 100% sure that you're the right person for this job. I can tell some other friends that would want to join us." 

Harry thought about it hard, he didn't really want to, but he did want to help. Maybe it wouldn't be that bad. 

"Fine... I'll try my best." 

"YES! I'll go and tell some others. We can do it when we go to Hogsmeade this weekend." Hermione said excited as she stood up and before anyone else could say anything, she left.

Harry and Evelyn were walking down the hallway, when professor McGonagall stopped them. "Finley, Potter, I need you in my office. There's something you must see." 

Harry had a bad feeling. Last time she has said that to him, Hermione has been petrified. 

Nothing like that could happen again though, right? 

They both looked at each other a bit lost and confused, a bit scared too, but hold hands and went behind her either way. 

When the professor opened the door, they first saw Mr. Diggory but when they moved their gaze, they saw someone they've been thinking about a lot lately.
