  The next few months were terrible,

Umbridge made us memorize the whole book of Defensive Magical Theory and made us  write essays on all the chapters, and if we didn't listen, we got detention.

Umbridge's detention was the worst, according from the students who have been in she made you write lines with some sort of quill that makes the appear  on your hand.

"Amethyst, do you want to learn how to do the patronus charm?" My Gryffindor best friend -Violet Cheriton asked me at of the blue.

Me and Violet is currently in the library studying for our charms exam in two days.

"Uh...Yeah...Why? Do you know how to make one Vi?" I asked suddenly curious.

"No, not yet at least but Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ronald Weasley is planning some sort of group against Umbridge- against the ministry! And we'll  learn a whole lot of new defensive spells!" Violet said excitedly.

"Sure...I'll come...I guess..." I said hesitantly .

"Perfect! There's this meeting on Saturday at HogHead...I'll be there! See you Saturday! " Violet exclaimed.

What did I get myself into?
---------
"Oh...Er, Hi. So you all know why we're here. We need a teacher.

A proper teacher.One who's had experience defending

themselves against the Dark Arts." Hermione Granger said looking around nervously,

"Why?" Someone asked from the crowd

"Why?Because You-Know-Who's back, you tosspot." Harry snapped at who happens to be Zachariah Smith,

"So he says-"

"So Dumbledore says."

"So Dumbledore says because he says. The point is, where's the proof? If Potter could tell us more about how Diggory got killed..." Zachariah said glaring towards Harry,

"Ok! Shut up Smith! We're here to LEARN not to ask questions on how Diggory died!" I  snapped glaring at the boy, Zachariah glared at me.

"Come on, Hermione, Ron, They're only here to ask question," Harry said pulling them towards the exit.

"Is it true you can produce a Patronus Charm?" Luna asked smiling sweetly towards Harry,

"Yes, I've seen it" Hermione said rapidly,

"Blimey, Harry. I didn't know you could do that." Fred exclaimed

"And he killed a basilisk, with the sword in Dumbledore's office!" Neville said also smiling towards Harry.

"Third year, he fought off about a hundred Dementors at once!" Ron exclaimed smiling smugly

"Last year, he really did fight off You-Know-Who in the flesh."

"Wait. Look, it all sounds great when you say it like that...but the truth is, most of that was just luck. I didn't know what I was doing half the time. I nearly always had help." Harry said slightly red

"He's just being modest" Hermione exclaimed,

"No I'm not, Facing this stuff in real life is not like school. In school, if you make a mistake, you can just try again tomorrow,But out there when you're a second away from being murdered...or watching a friend die right before your eyes...You don't know what that's like." Harry said silencing the crowd

"You're right we don't know what it's like... that's why we're here, to learn how to defend ourselves when that time comes,  here to learn how to protect a friend before death takes them from us, that's why we need you as our teacher Harry." I stated breaking the silence.
Everyone stared at me for a while then a few murmurs of agreement ran through the crowd.
"Alright...I'll do it" Harry said slowly.
Then the crowd cheered.
"What do we name it?" Hermione asked the crowd.

"I'll think we should name it Dumbledore's army, because the ministry is scared of him" Ginny Weasley suggested.

"I like it" Harry agreed.

Hermione scribbled 'Dumbledore's Army' on a spare piece of parchment and everyone signed.
That's how Dumbledore's  army formed.
