The Sad Truth

Who's Army?

"Lilian are you ready?" asks Neville as the trio walk up to us.

"Honestly, I'm a little scared you all are acting so secretive its a bit worrisome " I say whispering to him.

He chuckles as the trio walk up to us "you don't have classes today right?" asks Harry I shake my head no "alright then follow us" he says walking away.

"this is kind of scary" I whisper to Neville "I don't get why you just cant tell me where we are going?" I asked as we were walking down the corridor. When the coast was clear a door appeared out of no where "wow" I breathed out as the door opened revealing a room filled with students. They all walked in and I trailed behind them curiously, I grabbed Hermione's arm "are you sure its ok for me to be in here? I mean they are all staring" I say nervously.

She nodded her head "Don't worry we wouldn't have invited you here if it wasn't ok" she says smiling at me I nodded and spotted Luna, I waved at her and she waved back.

"Most of you know this is Lilian, she is here because we think she would be a perfect asset" starts Harry "She wasn't here last year to join but its never to late" he finishes. Everyone looks at one another then back at Harry "Any objections" I was still beyond confused.

"Um, what am I a perfect asset for? I'm very confused, can someone explain what this is for?" I say looking at the group then at the trio.

"Its very simple sweetheart" two voices said at the same time, I looked over and saw Fred and George behind me. I ran to them and hugged them. They hugged me back "These three are trying to recruit you to join the army" they finished saying while ruffling my hair.

"whos army?" I asked.

"Dumbledore's Army" said Luna "when Umbridge was headmaster at school she stopped teaching us how to defend ourselves so we came together to learn magic on our own without permission to defend against you know who when he does show up" she finished. I looked around the room and saw that there was a bunch of Dummies on the wall tattered and teared.

I looked at the trio and Neville "Are you sure you want me to join?" I asked remembering what occurred two years ago.

They all nodded "yes we do" said Neville, I smiled up at them and agreed

"that's great, so as a requirement of sorts we will be holding a duel so we can know where you are with your magic" said Harry he looked up at the crowd "do we have any takers" no one said anything instead looked at each other.

"i'll do it" says Fred stepping out of the group, he smirks at me and gets in a fighting stance across from me "do your worst Yang" he says I get ready also and we both bow to each other before I had a chance to pull my wand out Fred says "Accio Lilian's wand" and my wand flew to him and he waved it in front of me "I guess you're done for" he says smirking. He lifts up his wand "Petrificus Totalus" as soon as he said those words I threw a bottle of liquid chain in front of me and it quickly formed the chain, the spell jumped off of it and hit a dummy. While Fred was distracted by the wall I side stepped around it and ran up to him, he lifted his wand again but I was already in front of him and smirked grabbing his wrist and flipping him on his back taking both his and my wand.

"I guess YOU'RE done for" I told him smiling. I got up and then helped him up.

There was clapping and I looked to see Ron with a smile on his face along with Ginny and George who were laughing loudly. I saw Colin Creevey approach the chain wall "Collin don't!" I yelled when he touched it, and he immediately fell to the ground. I ran to him and put his head on my lap and took out the counter potion, I gave it to him and saw the faint bruising on his body. He coughed, and looked at me, I put my hand on his forehead and felt it was cold "Im sorry I should have warned everyone, are you ok?" I asked. He kept staring at me and didn't say a word, he blushed and looked at the crowd forming around me.

"I'm fine" he mumbled standing up quickly, but wobbled a bit like he couldn't stand, I ran to his side and help him stay up "don't worry it'll go away in a while, just sit" I said conjuring a chair sitting him down. I grabbed my bag and gave him a chocolate frog and grabbed my notebook "Collin, can you tell me what you experienced?" I asked excitedly. Neville looked at me and I knew what he meant "Im sorry Collin, really, if you can, can you join me at the Slytherin table for lunch Id like to talk about what you experienced" he stayed looking at me and I tilted my head "Collin? are you ok?" I asked feeling his face.

He quickly stood up and Ron held him up "y-yeah I can do that"

I stood up "That's great!" I exclaimed grabbing his hands "thankyou" I smiled. I looked at the clock on the wall "Sorry guys I have practice, Let me know when the next meeting is, Thank you" I said waving my wand at the wall watching it liquefy and evaporate before running out of the door.

3rd Person POV

"She's something" says Collin sighing

Everyone laughs and pats him on the back. "The potion didn't leave a trace, where did she get it" asks Luna.

Ron, Hermione, Harry and Neville look at each other "um we aren't too sure we can ask her next time" everyone nodded.

"She asked me to lunch! At Slytherin table what do I do I'm a mudblood Ill be eaten alive" he panicked everyone laughed again.

"Don't worry about it, she wont let anything happen to you plus Ill be there with you" says Neville putting his hand on Collins shoulder.

"Great" Collin mumbled causing everyone to laugh.
