"What do you mean we fight? How are we going to do that?" Seamus asks, a confused expression on his face

"Isn't it obvious?" I say, a smile making it's way onto my face "Dumbledore army! Let's start it back up!" I say, enthusiasm pouring back into my voice

A smile made its way onto Neville's face as he though about it

"Alright! I'm down! Let's do it"

I nod, a grin on my face "Alright, I'll tell Ginny. How are we going to let people know that Dumbledore's Army is back on? I don't know where the master coin is for the DA coins"

Seamus smirks "let's write it on the wall. It's not like they'll know who wrote it, and everyone would see it" I raise one eyebrow, but shrug

"Alright then. Tomorrow, write it on the walls!" I laugh, slightly lightheaded with joy at the prospect of fighting back.

"Dumbledore's army is back"

Once I said goodnight to Neville and Seamus, I made my way up to my bed. Ginny was laying on hers, reading a book. When she saw me come in, she dropped the book she was reading in her lap

"Alice! What happened? I heard from Seamus you got detention for standing up to the Carrow siblings"

I nod "yeah. They used the Cruciartus curse on me" I say, walking over to her and sitting on the edge of her bed

"listen. Neville, Seamus and I were thinking. Let's start up Dumbledore's Army again. These are dark times, and they're only going to get darker. We need to learn how to defend ourselves, and teach other how to"

For the first time since Bill and Fleur's wedding, a genuine smile appears onto Ginny's face "yes! Yes let's do it!" She grabs my hand "let's start Dumbledore's army back up"

The next day after classes, Neville and Seamus wrote on the wall in one of the corridors

Dumbledore's Army. Now recruiting

"Now what?" Neville asks when we all reconvene back in the Gryffindor Common room "I guess we go down the the Room of Requirement and wait. Hopefully someone will show up" I say, grabbing my wand and storing it into my robes

"Ginny and I will go down first. Then you two" I say, grabbing Ginny's arm "we'll start of by teaching the basics. Then we'll build up from there"

They all nod, and together Ginny and I make our way down to the Room of Requirement

When we enter the room, it was transformed back into the training room we had used all those years ago

"It's amazing how it changes every time" I breath out in wonder as I look around the room It's almost as if Hogwarts wants us to fight back

"So, what are we teaching first?" Ginny asks, walking aimlessly around the room

"I figure Protego and Stupefy. That way everyone knows at least one stunning spell and one protective charm" she nods in agreement, and together we stand and wait for the others to come
