Ruby Dellamark arrived at Hogwarts in year three. There, she met the arrogant, but also torn Slytherin Prince, Draco Malfoy. She learns a few things about Draco, and also herself, as Hogwarts prepares itself for the return of the Dark Lord.
*I...
"All student organizations are henceforth disbanded. Any student in noncompliance will be expelled!" Umbridge's nails-on-chalkboard like voice echoed through Ruby's ears as she marched through the hallways. This old bag was a power hungry mongrel, who seemed quite disinterested in cutting some slack.

Ruby was coming from the library with a stack of books in her arms. She had had a long day, and wanted nothing more then a quick cat-nap in her room. No doubt that Biscuit was already lounging around, taking up the space. As she marched through the halls, her attention was caught by a familiar round of laughter. She turned her head, finding the Slytherin Prince, Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dee were in conversation about something she couldn't quite make out. No doubt though, it had to be funny. They were all laughing. Well, Crabbe and Goyle were laughing, Draco seemed to be preoccupied with something else. He saw her pass by, and while his friends weren't looking, he shot her a quick smile. She began to feel slightly queasy as she smiled back, but it wasn't the kind where she wanted to throw up to no end. She actually felt excited.
"Ruby!" she was suddenly pulled out her own thoughts when Ginny came running towards her.
"Hey, what's going on?" she asked.
"You have to come and see this!" Ginny grabbed Ruby's arm and dragged her down the hallway with her.
They came to a stop at a bare brick wall. Ruby looked at the Little Weasley, then back at the wall, then back at her.
"Okay, what am I looking at?" she asked. The moment she spoke, the wall began to change colour, and a large door suddenly emerged, "I take it back,"
"Come on," They opened the doors and stepped inside. When the doors shut, it formed back a wall with mirrored panels. Everybody else was there already.
"This is a nice place. What is it?" she asked.
"It's the room of requirement, Neville found it," Hermione replied.
"What's that?" The twins asked.
"It's also known as the Come and Go Room. The Room of Requirement only appears when a person has real need of it. And it's always equipped for the seeker's needs," she replied
"So, say you really needed the toilet..." Ron said. The girls rolled their eyes with disgust.

"Charming Ronald, but yes. That's the general idea," she replied.
"It's brilliant. It's like Hogwarts wants us to fight back!" Harry said.
"Then what're we all wallowing away for?"

Within the next hour, all members of the newly formed organization had met in the Room of Requirement. First up was target practice. Neville was at the front of the line with Harry, and a rather large wooden dummy with a Death Eater mask stood before them.
