"glad to see all of you could find this place alright." Harry says as he strolls into the Room of Requirment
"hey, Harry, what is all this stuff?" Neville asks looking around the room at the many dark detectors and sneakascopes
"loads of Defense Against the Dark Arts equipment. hopefully we'll be able to get to all of it before the end of term." Harry answers
Harry begins to pace in front of us
"you need to understand something before we start, though. defending yourself from the dark arts has less to do with magical ability and more to do with thinking fast and a lot of luck." Harry explains to all of us "we'll be doing Expelliarmus tonight, though hopefully we can move on to other things if we have time."
"oh please. Professor Lockhart taught us that in second year!" Zacharias Smith says
"Lockhart didn't teach as much as prune himself." Ron fires back
"besides, it works. i used it against You-Know-Who last June. it saved my life." Harry comments
"right. well, lets split into pairs and give it a go." Harry says
i pair up with Luna and we begin shouting "expelliarmus!" at each other
i took Luna a few tries before she got the hang of it, but i was getting it the first try
"very good, Vanessa!" Harry says walking past me and Luna and walking towards another group of people
"nice job, Neville." Harry comments as Neville begins to be able to perform the spell
Harry walks up to the front of the group
"okay, everyone. we've done a lot today, and i've seen some great improvement. that's it for now. we'll meet back here same time next week!" Harry announces
we get into our groups of three and walk out. we have to go in separate groups so that we don't draw very much attention to us.
i sat in the Great Hall, munching on Every Flavored Beans and reading in my Divination's book.
as i flipped to the next page my left arm sleeve rose slightly revealing my carving, except it looked different. the purple veins that i had seen before in the mirror had now spread over my entire forearm.
i look at it worriedly until someone sits down next to me and i shove my sleeve back down my arm
"hey" Draco says stealing a bean from the box
"hey! those are mine!" i laugh trying to take it from him
he pops it in his mouth smirking as i roll my eyes playfully
"so the next Hogsmeade trip is on Valentine's Day." he says eating another bean
"and..." i say raising my eyebrows
"i wanted to ask if you wanted to go with me." he says smiling widely
"i'd love to go with you." i say kissing him
suddenly i feel myself being jerked away from Draco by an invisible force
"no physical contact with other students, Miss Wilde" Umbridge says giving me a little giggle before walking away
"i hate her. i hate her so much." i say glaring daggers into her back
Draco just laughs as i stand up to leave
