I sat with Neville, Luna and Ginny on the Hogwarts Express. Instead of sitting in compartments like always, we sat in the cart where there's a table in between the seats.

The train felt empty without Harry, Ron and Hermione.

I was really worried about them. "I think we should restart...you-know-what", I said. "The D.A".

Ginny, Luna and Neville nodded. "I agree, but let's not talk about it here. There are too many people", Ginny said.

I nodded in agreement. I looked at Pup. He sat next to Luna and I.

"He looks happy", Luna said, referring to Pup.

"I think he's happy to see you", I said.

The train suddenly stopped. I looked out the window. "We're not there yet", Ginny said.

"Death Eaters", Neville said.

"Aurelia, get down", Ginny said.

"No", I said. "I will be just fine".

Death Eaters came into the cart. One of them looked at me. He stared at me for a long time. Finally, he looked away.

Neville stands up. "Hey losers. He's not here", he said.

Everyone was getting off the train once we got to Hogwarts. Neville, Ginny, Luna and I stayed behind.

"Snape is going to be here. He's going to be the new Headmaster", I said.

"Then we need to restart the DA immediately", Neville said. I nodded in agreement.

"Let's go", Ginny said, already sounding down.

Hogwarts was completely different. The students walked into the school in formation, as if we were an army.

We walked towards the Great Hall, where we were greeted by Snape and two Death Eaters.

It was dark in the Great Hall. It was less cheerful and Dumbledore wasn't here. Those were a few of the differences to this year.

Like any other year, the first years were sorted. Then, the Headmaster would give a speech.

Dumbledore's speeches were cheerful. Snape's speech was more of a threat.

"Anyone who decides to break the rules and support Mr. Potter will be punished severely", he said. I noticed Snape glance at me. "We won't be afraid to hurt those of you who don't surrender to our rules and to our agendas".

I got worried. What did he mean by agendas? What was Voldemort planning to do to Hogwarts.

Everyone was excused to go to their dorms. Me, Ginny and Neville went to Neville's room. I was surprised that no one saw Luna come to Gryffindor tower to join us.

"Since Fred and George aren't here, they clearly can't participate", I said. "And Dean, Colin and Dennis can't join us since they're on the run. With the Death Eaters taking over the Ministry and all, Muggleborns aren't safe at Hogwarts".

"Well, the Patil twins are still here", Neville said.

"So is Seamus and Lavender", Ginny said.

"I'll talk to Susan and Katie. Neville, can you speak to Hannah Abbott?" I asked.

"Yeah, I can do that", Neville said.

"I can talk to Cho", Luna said.

I got a bit hesitant. Umbridge may have given Cho truth serum, but I still wasn't sure if I could trust her.

"We'll keep an eye on her, Aurelia", Neville said.

I sighed. "Luna can talk to Cho, Neville and Ginny will look after her", I said.

I really didn't want to deal with Cho, but Dumbledore's Army needs all the help we can get.

"I just had a brilliant idea", Ginny said. "We should have 'Dumbledore's Army still Recruiting' all over the walls".

"That's brilliant, Ginny!" Neville said.

"Well, Snape and the Death Eaters will see it and they will be furious. Let's do it", I said with a big smile.
