"RIGHT. FIRST WE NEED TO FIND A PLACE TO PRACTICE WHERE UMBRIDGE WON'T FIND OUT"
you were all now walking down the snowy bridge, discussing plans on how to run this 'dumbledore's army'
"the shrieking shack" ginny recommends.
"it's too small"
"forbidden forest?" hermione asks.
"not bloody likely"
you chuckle.
"harry, what happens if umbridge does find out?"
"who cares? i mean, it's sort of exciting, isn't it? breaking the rules?"
you blink at hermione in surprise.
"who are you and what've you done with hermione granger?" ron jokes.
"anyway, at least we know one positive thing that came from today"
"what's that?"
hermione smirks slightly, "cho couldn't take her eyes off you, could she?"
you gush, "she is so into you, harry!"
you all walk off the bridge and onto the court, "right. over the next few days, we should each come up with a couple of possibilities of places we can practice. we've got to make sure, wherever it is, there's no chance she can find us"
"will do, harry"
"YOU'VE DONE IT, NEVILLE. YOU'VE FOUND THE ROOM OF REQUIREMENT"
you tilt your head in question, looking around the large room which looked perfect for training.
"the what?" you question sheepishly.
"it's also known as the come and go room. the room of requirement only appears when the person has real need of it. and it's always equipped for the seekers needs"
the lights start to brighten. your lips form into an 'o'.
"so, say you really needed the toilet..."
you sigh.
"charming, ronald. but, yes, that is the general idea"
"it's brilliant. it's like hogwarts wants us to fight back"
YOU TILT YOUR HEAD AS THE METAL ROBOTOTIC TRAINING BUDDY RAISES IT'S WAND SLOWLY.
neville holds his wand up, grip hesitant and uneven.
