>Harry's POV>

I finally got my voice back, well I've had it back for a week or so but the only person who knows is Dray. Hermione asked some people if they wanted proper teaching so that's where we're going now.. I move through the deep snow and between the houses and buildings dressed in cool white fluff and frosted glass, icicles handing from the over hangings. Draco's fingers were laced with mine keeping them warm to the touch as i shook from nervousness and from the bitter air around us. We walk to Hog's head where they said they were told to meet and we walk to the bar tender, he was a old man with thick fingers.. there was no one else here besides a witch in the corner "could i uh get 4 butterbeers?" Hermione said and the man groaned and pulled out dirty, dusty cups "on second thought.." she said and she pulled us away and the man put the cups away with a weird smirk, we stood for a second and Hermione started talking "I hope people actually come, it will be like a parade if everyone comes in at once" she said looking over at the old man and we all look and he pushed open a door to the back. The door opened with a squeak and the weathered old dead floorboards creaked as we moved along them to the back where 4 seats sat in front of about 28 other seats.. I sit in the middle sorta and Hermione and Draco sat on either side, Ron sat on Hermione's left "Parade?" someone said outside and the door creaked open again and many people walked in, my anxiety kicked up with my shaking and Draco held my hand tightly and i smiled as people took their seats. "uh.. Hi.." Hermione said standing up after a while..  in complete silence.. "so uh you know why you're here, we need a teacher - proper teacher" she said more confidently "one who has had real experience defending themselves against the dark arts" she said and Draco squeezed my hand lightly and smiled "why?" a boy said in a beanie "Why? because you-know-who is back you tosser" Ron spat at the boy and i gave him a look and he sighed a leaned back "so he says" the boy says nodding his head to me and i bit my lip "So Dumbledore says" she said quickly and I look down at my feet "so Dumbledore says because he says, the point is.. wheres the proof?" he spat and i bit my lip harder making rustic iron blood flow lightly into my mouth and i stopped biting "Potter can tell us more about how Diggory killed" a boy said next to Ginny i think, i looked up and stared at the long haired boy "I'm not going to talk about Cedric, so if that's why your here might as well clear out" i say standing up, Draco still held my hand tightly making my heart flutter "Is it true that you can produce a Patronus charm?" Luna Lovegood says and i stare at her and i feel Draco stand up "yes, I've seen it" he said and i blush lightly "blimey Harry, didn't know you could do  that" Dean said and i gave a small smile but went back to my straight face.. "an..and he killed the b.. basilisk with the sword of Gryffindor" Neville said and a few people whispered "i heard he fought about 100 dementors at once" Ron said and he looked at me and i bit my lip again.. ugh i need to stop.. "last year he did really fight off you-know-who in the flesh" Hermione said and i sighed quietly "wait.. look.. it's sound great when you say it all like that.. but the truth is.. it was just luck.. i didn't know what i was doing half the time.. i always had help.." i say as i feel Draco's thumb gently brush my hand "he's just being modest" Hermione said and i looked at her and opened my mouth to argue "No Hermione, i'm not... facing this stuff in real life is not like school.. in school if you make a mistake you can try again tomorrow.. but out there when your seconds away from being murdered or seeing a friend die right before your eyes.. you don't know what it's like.." i say and i sit back down, "you're right Harry, we don't that's why we need your help..Because if we have any chance on beating V-" she bit her lip lightly "Voldemort.." she finished "He's really back?" Collin Creevey said and i nodded lightly and Draco rubbed my forearm lightly kissing my head and i blushed

People were now forming a line in front of me and a paper with the words DUMBLEDORE'S ARMY and a few names under it.. it went on for about 15 minutes and finally we got everyone that wanted to join "alright.. uh our first meeting will be uh next week in uh the Room Of Requirements.. if you need help getting there Draco and I will be there to help, Friday at 6 don't get into trouble and have to miss the meeting because we need as much time as possible" i say to everyone and they nodded and everyone flowed out of the small room and walked out of the cafe.
