PART THREE
The Hog's Head

" y/n's point of view "

——————————————————————

BEFORE THE FIRST Hogsmeade trip of the year, Hermione had asked a bunch of students, including the twins, Lee, Lewis and I, to meet her, Harry and Ron at the Hog's Head Pub for a meeting concerning our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and how we weren't really learning anything.

Of course, when we got to Hogsmeade, Fred and George insisted that they and Lee needed to go into Zonko's because it had been so long.

Lewis and I shared a glance as the other three boys ran inside the store the moment we passed it, and we followed them inside.

In the end, we were the last to make it to the Hog's Head.

Fred, George and Lee had their arms filled with paper bags full of Zonko's products as we walked in.

I noticed many people I recognized. Ginny, Neville, Dean Nigel, Angelina, Alicia, Katie, Colin Creevey, Luna Lovegood, Cho Chang, and many other students.

Our small group crammed together at a table and Fred made his way to the bar, leaning close to talk to the barman, who was wiping a dusty glass with an even filthier rag.

"Hi," He greeted and counted the number of students in the room. "Could we have 27 Butterbeers, please?"

The barman threw down his rag, looking angrily at my boyfriend before he started passing up Butterbeers from beneath the bar.

"Cheers." Fred thanked him, then started handing them out. "Cough up, everyone, I haven't got enough gold for all of these..."

Then once everyone had paid, Fred slid into his seat beside me, handing me a Butterbeer before resting his arm around my shoulders.

Then Hermione stood up at the front of the class.

"So... you all know why we're here." She spoke. "We need a teacher. A proper teacher. One who's had real experience defending themselves against the Dark Arts."

"Why?" Zacharias Smith, a boy from the Hufflepuff Quidditch team, asked.

"'Why?'" Ron repeated. "'Cause You-Know-Who's back, you tosspot."

"So he says."

"So Dumbledore says." Hermione corrected.

"So Dumbledore says because he says." Zacharias went on. "The point is, where's the proof?"

"If Potter could tell us more about how Diggory got killed.." Another boy spoke.

"I'm not gonna talk about Cedric so if that's why you're here, you might as well clear out now." Harry said, standing up, and I frowned thinking about my old friend.

Harry then started whispering something to Hermione, who stopped him from leaving.

"Is it true you can produce a Patronus Charm?" Luna asked from the back of the group.
