The Lovegood Vampire [HP Fanfiction] [EDITING]

Chapter 53- Hogsmeade and Creation of Dumbledore's Army

A few weeks had passed and the Hogsmeade day arrived. Luna and I were really excited and woke up early. We had a shower, and dressed in our matching Ravenclaw scarves, knitted dark blue jumpers, black pants as well as spotty green and blue gloves with a mandala patterned beanie. I made sure my lapis lazuli necklace was on and I grabbed my radish earrings plus my 2 bracelets on both my wrists, my anklet and I tied my hair up in a messy bun, finishing it with my rose hair clip Cho gave me last year for Christmas. I smiled as I looked in the mirror and waited for Luna to finish and we grabbed out satchels, heading down the steps to the Common Room, where Professor Flitwick had the list of names of attendees and we handed him the forms. He glanced at us and smiled, but when he laid eyes on me, I saw a flicker of fear in his eyes. I looked away and sighed gently, walking with Luna down the steps with the rest if the Hogsmeade visitors. Luna looked at me.
"How's fifth year?" She asked.
"It's alright. I'm mostly with the Hufflepuffs, but some I have with the Slytherins and Gryffindors. But Harry, Ron and Hermione are nice to me as well as Padma, Romilda, Neville, Lavender and Draco. I guess fifth year isn't that bad. What about you?" I asked. She smiled.
"I really miss you, I've been horribly teased and pranked on. They started the Loony game again, like they did with mother" she spoke, sadness in her voice. I nodded.
"What do you think of Professor Umbridge?" I whispered. She glanced at me and her eyes widened in shock.
"She lets them torture me and smiles" she spoke. I gasped.
"That's horrible" I spoke. She nodded and looked around the room.
"I spoke to Harry" she spoke, looking at me. "He was there when I was feeding the thestrals. He asked why the others can't see them and I told him about my mother's tragic accident. I also told him that our family completely believed him and my opinion that I told you before" she spoke. I nodded.
"You mean the one that you-know-who wants him to feel cut off from everyone else and that makes him less of a threat" I spoke. She nodded. I stepped down the last step and walked down the corridor where I spotted Hermione.
"Hello, Hermione" I spoke. She looked at me and smiled.
"Hello Cass and Luna" she spoke, looking at us with a smile.
"Hogsmeade?" She asked. We nodded. She looked at us.
"What do you think of Umbridge?" She asked. Luna and I looked at each other and back at her.
"Well, there are many things that I would say about her teaching." I spoke. "And Harry. Poor guy. We'd have to cut our hand open every night and write lines with an enchanted quill. Have you seen his hand? It's horrible. She could get fired for this. I need to tell Dumbledore or the head of our houses" I spoke. Hermione nodded.
"I know, we'd better report this. I saw it last night after he came back. Isn't she horrible" She spoke. I nodded and she leaned in closer.
"I've came up with this idea to have a secret defence organisation because if Umbridge refuses to teach us, we need someone who does." She whispered. "You in?" She answered. Luna and I nodded strongly. She smiled.
"We're meeting in Hogs Head. See you there" she whispered again and walked away. I looked at Luna and smiled, walking with her to Hogsmeade.

I walked into Hog's head with Luna and we were ushered to a little room where most of the Ravenclaws met as well as some Hufflepuffs and Gryffindors. I smiled and stood next to Cho, who was wearing a beanie and a scarf. She smiled and I smiled back, watching as Harry, Ron and Hermione walked in. Their eyes widened for the massive turnout and he smiled. He sat down, looked at Hermione and bake at us. Hermione stepped forward.
"Um... We all know why we're here. We need a teacher... A proper teacher. One who has had real experience defending themselves against the dark arts"
"Why" a boy from Ravenclaw spoke.
"Why?" Ron spat. "Because you-know-who is back you toshpot."
"So he says.."
"... So Dumbledore says" Hermione interrupted.
"So Dumbledore says, so he says" he spoke. "The point is, where's the proof?"
"Potter can tell us more about how Diggory got killed" Michael Corner spoke. Harry stood up.
"I'm not going to talk about Cedric, so if that's why you're here you might as well clear out now" he spoke, turning to Hermione. "Come on Hermione, let's go. These kids think I'm one sort of freak."
Luna looked up and smiled.
"Is it true you can produce a patronus charm?" She asked.
"Yes" Hermione spoke. "I've seen it"
"Blimey Harry" Dean spoke. " I never knew you could do that"
"And he fought the basilisk with the sword in Dumbledore's office." Neville spoke. I nodded.
"It's true" Ginny spoke.
"Third year he fought about a hundred dementors at once" Ron spoke. Hermione looked at him and nodded.
"And last year, he really did fight off you-know-who in the flash" Hermione spoke. Harry looked at her.
"Wait." He spoke. "Look. It all sounds great when you say it like that, the truth is most of that is luck. I didn't know what was doing half the time. I nearly always had help.
"He,s just being modest" Hermione interrupted.
"No, Hermione " Harry spoke. "Facing this stuff in real life is not like school. In school, if you make a mistake, you can try again tomorrow. But out there... When you're a second away from being murdered... Or watching a friend die before your eyes... You don't know what's that like"
I looked down, as did Luna. We did.
"You're right Harry, we don't. That's why we need you're help" Hermione spoke. "Because if we're going to have any chance at beating..." She looked Harry. "Voldemort"
"He really is back?" A forty year from Gryffindor spoke. Harry nodded. We smiled and they walked over to the table taking out a piece of parchment with Dumbledore's Army written on it and we lined up, signing it and walking out.
