The Boy Who Hated Living

There's A Storm Coming

Danny was currently standing with Ron, Hermione, Neville, and the twins in a room Neville had found. Hermione spoke, "You've done it Neville, you've found the room of requirement, 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 is always equipped for the seekers needs."

Ron spoke, "So, say you really needed the toilet."

Danny and Neville looked at Ron and Hermione spoke, "Charming Ronald, but yes, that is the general idea."

Danny spoke, "This is perfect, if I didn't know better I'd say it's like Hogwarts wants us to fight back."

That very night Danny brought everyone to the room, Neville was currently standing in front of a training dummy. Danny was standing next to him and he nodded for Neville to go, Neville waved his wand, "Expelliarmus!" Neville's wand flew out of his hand and got stuck in the wall behind the group, "I'm hopeless."

Danny shook his head, "No, your not, your flourishing your wand to much, try doing it like this." Danny pointed his wand at the dummy and waved it, "Expelliarmus!"

The dummy's wand flew out of it's hand and Everyone eventually got to try, all too soon the next day rolled around and he was in Umbridge's class. "You will please copy the approved text four times to ensure maximum retention, there will be no need to talk."

Hermione mumbled, "No need to think is more like it."

Neville was practicing with his wand near his desk and Umbridge spoke, "Wands away."

That night the group met again and Danny walked in between the two rows of students as he spoke. "Stunning is one of the most useful things you will ever learn." Danny turned toward the kid on the other side of the room, "Nigel, take your best shot."

Nigel looked a bit afraid before stopping just short of throwing his wand at Danny, "Stupify!"

Danny was thrown back and Nigel fell backward as well, Danny hit the ground, he didn't want to show off. Danny stood up, "That was pretty good, nice job Nigel."

Everyone talked to each other for a minute and it was now Ron and Hermione's turn to go. Ron spoke to Hermione, "Don't worry, I'll go easy on you."

Hermione gave him a strangely confused smile, "Thanks Ronald."

Danny suppressed his laughter and Death spoke, "This will be interesting."

Danny nodded and everyone got in two lines on either side of the two, a few of the boys encouraged Ron, the twins made a bet, and Neville silently cheered for Ron. Ron nodded before getting ready, just as he was about to say the spell Hermione beat him to it, "Stupify!"

Ron was thrown back and George gave Fred whatever amount they bet, Ron walked up to the twins, "I let her do that, it's good manners isn't it?" The twins nodded as the girls talked and laughed, "It was completely intentional."

The next day Umbridge questioned everyone about 'suspected illicit activities' and Danny was beyond annoyed. That night he was standing with Neville, "Focus on a fixed point and try again."

Neville waved his wand, "Expelliarmus!"

Unfortunately it didn't work, he would teach Neville how to use that spell, even if it killed him. He soon moved on to having a few of the overs levitate Nigel in the air, he looked around and walked over to Cho, "Keep your wand a little higher."

He moved her hand and watched Nigel, Cho looked back at him and Nigel fell out of the air, he immediately got back up and said he was okay. The next day Umbridge started the 'inquisitorial squad' and Danny wondered if she would ever quit. That night he had everyone practice different spells and he went around correcting small things as he spoke.
