The Weasley twins and me!

Dumbledore's Army.

I slumped down into the chair opposite Snape’s desk. I was so angry with Umbridge. Snape’s usual dull expression was cast down by a scowl. He did not sit down, he stood up, pacing.

“You do like to make a scene don’t you, Miss Black.” He growled at me from across the table.

“She is torturing students! I could not just sit there and watch her.” I argued back. I expected a shocked reaction from this revelation, but his face did not seem surprised. “You know.” I whispered shocked.

“Electra…” He began to explain but I would not let it go.

“Severus, may I call you Severus?” I started off by saying. He gritted his teeth but I did not let him talk. “I’m sorry if you have no guts and you just sit there and do nothing, but I can not sit here and watch whilst she abuses first years and fellow Hufflepuff’s.” I said harshly. I stood up ready to leave.

“I suggest Electra, if you value this school and the people in it, to keep your fuse to a minimum.” He said through his teeth, almost threatening. I could not believe he was willing to be so two faced. I stormed out of his office and down to the feast; it would have already started by now. I had just entered when Harry ran up to me.  

“Hey you okay?” he asked.

“I will live.” I joked back.

“I was wondering if you could meet me in the three broom sticks at the Hogsmeade trip tomorrow?” He asked anxiously.

“Ok…why?” I asked confused.

“I will tell you when we get there.” He said and he disappeared back to the Gryffindor table. The boys waved at me with big smiles. I chose to ignore them, right now I was hungry.

The next day there was excitement in the air. For all of the third years it was there first time at Hogsmeade. I was more intrigued by the mysterious meeting Harry had invited me too. It was quite a nice warm day with that crisp chill in the air. I found the boys and huddled up with them. I kept blowing into my hands and rubbing them. As we walked towards the village Fred removed a concealed water balloon from his pocket and threw it towards a group of Slytherin’s, it wasn’t cold exactly but it still would have stung. They all drew out there wands and looked ready to hex us when Flitwick waddled in-between us. I began to make my way to the Three Broom sticks and the boys followed.

“Been invited by Harry too?” Fred said with a grin.

“Yeah, it better be good.” I groaned. As we entered it was warm. George ordered us three butterbeers and we sat down and waited fro Harry. The butterbeer was nice and warming, and incredibly silky. Soon enough Harry came in with quite a few Gryffindors and one or two Ravenclaw’s. Great, I thought to myself, the only Hufflepuff again. We all smushed in into the small corner at the back. We all sat there in silence for the first few minuets.

“Come on Harry, I do want to look in other places you know.” I moaned.

“Right.” He said nodding and pushing back his glasses. “Erm…as we know, Umbridge and the ministry are refusing to arm us against you know who and I think we should be ready. I propose we create an army, Dumbledore’s army. I would teach you all in the room of requirement how to defend yourselves.” He spoke well and confidently. The table was silent.

“Well I am in.” I said breaking the silence. “But can I invite some other people to join, I can get lonely.” I joked.

“Yes of course, as long as you trust them. I mean completely, you would put your life in their hands. This is why I have only invited you guys because I trust you.” He said looking in everyone’s eye.

“And we love you too.” The twins said in unison.

“So he is really back?” Dean asked. Harry nodded. It was never really disgusted at Hogwarts, but he was back. It was here that Dumbledore’s army was formed.

The day after, during lunch break we all gathered in the room of requirement. It was fitted with dolls ready to help us learn and a duelling mat. There were about twenty of us. I had brought along Rainey, who in turn brought along Summer. We all gathered around Harry who looked slightly overwhelmed.

“Right, erm…since none of you are trained I will be your teacher.” He said nervously. No body objected, except for me. I was insulted, he did not know how trained I was. I threw my hand up into the air like a five year old. He looked confused and nodded to me.

“Erm, since you are so high and mighty and better than the rest of us would you give us a demonstration. You know to show us how good we are supposed to get!” I asked slightly sarcastically. The boys could tell when I was annoyed. He looked at the group who where all eager to see him in action. He nodded stiffly.

“I need a volunteer.” He said shyly. Everyone nearly cowered in the corner. I looked up and down the row, seeing nobody was saying anything I threw my hand up once more.

“Please, please pick me!” I bounced.

“Ok, stand the other side of the matt and when I say we walk…” he began to explain the rules of duelling to me. That was a mistake.

“You know I have duelled before.” I interrupted.

“Oh.” He said quietly and nodded. We both stood at opposite ends of the mat. We were facing each other our wands by our sides. We both began to walk towards each other. The group was in a tense mood, not even a whisper was heard. We met in the middle and my wand swished up to my nose, as did his. We both bowed to each other and flicked our wands back to our sides. I did mine so fast you could hear it against the air as I swung it back to my hip. I spun on my heel and walked back to the end. I could not help but smirk. I heard Harry shout and we turned. My wand hand instantly flicked above my head and my spare arm straight in front of me, aiming. My wand was pointing directly towards him. I could see some surprise on his face at my profession stance. I allowed him to make the first move.

“Expelliarmus.” Harry shouted and flicked his wand towards me. With a swish of my wand I deflected it. His eyebrows fell, he realised I was trained. “Stupify!” He screamed and forced his wand once more in my direction. Again I deflected it so easily with a swish of my elegant wand. I smiled, it was my turn.

“Aguamenti!” I shouted and a jet of water rushed out towards him. It hit him but he was still standing. He raised his wand to speak again but I thought I would use my favourite spell of all time. “Petrificus Totalus!” I said in the most feminine voice I could muster. Instantly Harry was frozen on the spot. His eyes still moving. This was my favourite spell, the full body bind. It does not hurt but they cannot move. I took this time to look at my nails, and without looking I waved my wand towards Harry and quietly said, “Stupify.” He was thrown backwards. I twiddled my wand and put it back in my robe pocket. The only people clapping were Fred and George. The rest of the group stood in shock. I walked over to Harry and helped him up.

“W…Where did you learn that?” he asked shocked as well. I tutted at him.

“Harry you do not live with Remus Lupin your entire life without learning a thing or two.” I answered smugly. I walked over to the boys who high fived me. Harry brushed himself down.

“Right then.” He said addressing the room. “Lets get started.”
