Chapter 28 - The Room of Requirement

The Herd were all walking to Hogsmeade, a place called Hog's Head. No one really went their so it was a good place to form something like this. Erica sat a sheet of parchment on the table when they entered and wrote 'Dumbledore's Army' at the top.

"Dumbledore's army?" Harry raised a brow while they sat down. People were still to arrive.

"Would you rather it be called Harry's army?" Ron asked, writing his name on the page after Erica.

"No, no. I'm good." Harry shook his head while he, Hermione and Parker wrote their names.

They sat for another five minutes. They started after people stopped coming through the door.

"Well, you may be wondering why we called you hear today. Is that right?" Erica asked them.

"We've been waiting for ages." A fifth year Ravenclaw boy sighed.

The Herd just invited everyone who was in their DADA class, plus a few others.

"Alright then, we've decided that we're going to form a club that teaches us how to actually use defensive magic." Erica explained,"This club will be taught by Harry."

"Harry?" They all looked at him, "But he-"

"He's a liar? We all are? Keep trying Naomi." Parker rolled her eyes at the Gryffindor girl, "If you don't want to learn defensive spells, then you can leave."

"Would you prefer 'liars' or Umbridge?" Hermione asked, looking at the incomplete words on her hand.

A few mutters were heard around the room.

But Luna broke the silence and asked,"Is it true you can produce the Patronus Charm?"

Harry nodded.

"It's true, I've seen it." Hermione told her.

"Blimey Harry. Didn't know you could produce that." Dean said surprised.

"And.. And in second year, he killed the Basilisk in the hidden chamber." Neville added.

"That's true as well. I was there." Parker nodded.

"Third year, he fought about one hundred dementors at once." Ron leaned forward in his chair.

"I have nothing else to add but I felt the need to speak." Erica stated before remembering,"Oh, in first year he managed to save the Philosopher's Stone."

"This is why Harry will be the best teacher you all will get." Parker crossed her arms.

"Is he really back?" A young Gryffindor boy asked.

"Yes, he's back and we need to learn how to protect ourselves." Harry finally spoke up.

After a bit of talking, the Herd soon had a line and everyone was writing down their names.

"We need to find a place to practise where Umbridge won't find out." Harry told them while the Herd, Neville, the twins and Ginny walked.

"Knowing our luck, I'll fall into it." Erica joked, looking around.

"The Shrieking Shack?" Ginny suggested.

"Too small." Parker shook her head.

"The Forbidden Forest?" Hermione suggested, "This is sort of exciting, breaking the rules."

"Who are you and what have you done with Hermione Granger?" Ron asked with a chuckle.

"I.. think I might have a place we can go but I need to see if its going to work first." Parker told them.
