The formation of Dumbledore's Army brought a new sense of purpose to Harry's life. He was determined to teach his friends and classmates how to defend themselves against the dark forces that threatened their world. With Cassiopeia by his side, he felt more confident and motivated.
The Room of Requirement became their sanctuary, a place where they could practice spells and prepare for the challenges ahead. Cassiopeia proved to be a quick learner and a valuable member of the group. Her presence added a new dynamic, bridging the gap between Gryffindor and Slytherin.
One evening, after a particularly successful DA meeting, Harry and Cassiopeia stayed behind to clean up. As they gathered the practice dummies and straightened the chairs, Harry couldn't help but feel grateful for her support.
"Thank you for being here," he said, his voice sincere. "I don't think I could do this without you."
Cassiopeia smiled. "I'm happy to help, Harry. This means a lot to me too."
As they finished tidying up, Harry felt a sudden urge to kiss her. He hesitated, unsure if it was the right moment. But Cassiopeia seemed to sense his hesitation and stepped closer, her eyes filled with affection.
"You don't have to hide your feelings, Harry," she whispered.
Harry took a deep breath and leaned in, capturing her lips in a gentle kiss. The world seemed to fade away as they lost themselves in each other. When they finally pulled apart, Harry felt a sense of contentment and hope.
"We'll get through this, Cassiopeia," he said, holding her close. "No matter what happens, we'll face it together."
Cassiopeia nodded, her eyes shining with determination. "Together." ''Always.''
