The song of the bird, so familiar, woke Harry in the morning. The sunshine blazed through the windows and lit the dormitory. It seemed that everyone had woken up, and left the room. Just as Harry stood up the door of the room swung open, and in came Ron.
”You awake?”
”Seems so,” Harry yawned.
”Do you want to go and see Orios or are you okay?”
”I’m okay, for now. Let’s see what happens in the DA meeting…We need to go and tell the people about the meeting.” He said jumping up.
”No need, Hermione sorted it all. And don’t worry; I didn’t tell her about last night, do you think we should?”
”Hmm, she’d be upset if she found out from someone else, so. Yeah, we should.”
Harry got changed quickly, stuffing the two wands into his pocket whilst Ron wasn’t looking. He emerged from the dormitory a few minutes later and nearly walked into Hermione.
”Harry, you’re awake. Are you ok?” She said smiling.
”Yes, I’m ok. But I need to tell you something. I had a dream last night, where I was him again. The main thing is that we need to be on our guard today, if there is an attack in the DA, we need to protect the newcomers.” He said.
”Attack? Dream? When did this happen? Have you gone to the headmaster?” Hermione said nervously.
”There is a plan happening, um, it was in 12 hours, but it works out to be the DA meeting time. And, me and Ron went to Professor Orios straight after it happened, he said that if anything strange happens today we should go to him.”
”Did anything else happen?” She asked. It seemed that she was angry that they hadn’t woken her, but she tried to hide it. After all, how could they?
”Nothing, well, we saw Scrimgeour, didn’t we Ron?”
”Wha, yeah, we saw him. Trying to take over Hogwarts,” Ron said. He hadn’t been paying attention and it showed. He had been acting different in the past few days.
”What’s that?” Ron asked pointing to the floor.
”It looks like it’s the ingredients for the polyjuice potion, they are all there. Wha-.”
”-Harry, I heard. What’s going to happen?” One of the second years said, pushing Ron out of the way.
”Oi, don’t push me, or you’ll be on the floor before you can get your wand out,” Ron said rubbing his shoulder where he had been hit. Harry, however, was feeling shaken by what the 2nd year had said.
”How did you know?” He said, eyeing the child.
”Hermione told us, she said that it will start at around 4pm. I just wanted to say hello, and see you there!” And with this, he ran off to his small group of strange friends.
”I thought he was talking about what I dreamt,” Harry whispered to Hermione and Ron. “Ron, are you okay?”
”Yeah, im fine, no thanks to that brat!” He said.
They walked down to the great hall, mainly to get Ron away from the child, but also for Harry. He hadn’t eaten yet and it was showing.
As they took a seat, the teachers all fixed their sight on Harry, Hermione and Ron. Could it be that Professor Orios told the other teachers to keep an eye on him? But funny, as soon as Hermione glanced over to the staff table, they all turned around. All, except for one. Professor Orios kept watching Harry carefully. He slowly stood up, and walked down towards Harry.
”Harry, how are you?”
Halfway through swallowing his toast, he managed to say “Fine, Professor.”
”Is anything bothering you after last night?”
”No sir,” Harry said, putting his food onto a plate. “When I woke up today, it seemed like it wasn’t that bad, but of course it was, I mean it is…”
”As long as you are okay, that’s all that matters. If you need anything, come straight to me.” He finished, walking out of the hall in the direction of his office.
”Everything ready?” Ron asked Hermione.
”Yes, all we need to do is get into the room. Actually, let’s wait until Harry finishes his breakfast, then we can go into the room and prepare everything.”
”Sure thing,” Harry said swallowing his last piece of toast. His picked up a banana and stood up. “Are we going then?”
”C’mon, we need to go before anyone slows us down.” Ron said. By anyone it was obvious that he meant the 2nd years. “There is something strange about those kids.”
”Which kids?” Harry asked.
”The ones who have been bugging you about the DA, and the one who hit me,” Ron said.
”Forget about it, they are probably just nervous because they are going to enter one of the famous Harry Potter’s defence clubs,” Hermione said smiling.
They walked rather quickly up to the seventh floor, passing the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy. Harry walked passed it three times, seeing a door in his mind. From his imagination, it transferred into reality as they walked through the door into the room.
It looked similar to before, cushions were laid out on the floor, shelves were stacked with defensive books. It felt good to be back. Just as they sat on the cushions, the door swung open.
Hehe, just thought i would put a cliffie because...Well, no reason really
