The Dragon Tamer: A Draco Malfoy Love Story

Chapter 18: Revolution

You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead

"I'm going to Noble's I'll meet you at the Three Broomsticks?" Danneel informs as she begins to walk toward the book store.

"Yeah okay," Cass says.

"And if you're not back in 15 we'll come get you," Zara adds, "Draco would kill us if something happened to you."

"It's Hogsmeade what's going to happen?" Cass laughs.

"I'll be fine," Danneel reassures, "And remember if you see Daph and Blaise leave them alone. They are on a date and this is the one time we are not around them."

"Can't make any promises," Cass yells as she and Zara head to the restaurant.

The bookstore is in sight when Danneel's arm gets yanked and she whips around, wand in hand to face two identical faces.

Danneel lets out a breathe, "Jeez, Fred and George! I could use a warning next time."

"Sorry Rosie," Fred smiles devilishly.

"Rosie?"

"It's a nickname we're trying out," George shrugs, "It's from your last name Rosier."

"Clever," Danneel laughs, "Just when I think everyone has made up all the possible nicknames they can from my first name you go ahead and use my last. So what do I owe the pleasure of your presence? Another prank I assume?"

"Maybe later Rosie," George smiles, "We've got some new products to test out."

"We actually wanted to ask if you wanted to be a part of a secret organization," Fred says wiggly her eyebrows.

"Ooo I love a secret," Danneel smiles, "What is this secret organization?"

"It's going to teach us what the toad won't," George smiles

"The toad?" Danneel asks.

"Umbridge," Fred explains.

"Nice," Danneel smirks.

"We know," George says, "Anyway the first meeting is tomorrow night."

"Who's teaching?"

"Harry Potter."

Danneel thinks it over, "Say I'm in, where would I go?"

"That's classified until you agree."

"Sounds fun and necessary," Danneel smiles, "I'm in but I don't think this can be a regular thing. I have prefect duties, and quidditch, and I don't think my friends would fancy the idea of being associated with lions."

"Fair enough," Fred nods, "Tell you what we'll pick you up tomorrow night and take you. Then after that, we'll send you a note the morning of the next meeting and if you write back we'll know to pick you up again, and if not we know you won't come."

"Deal," Danneel agrees, "Now, if you'll excuse me I've got to go meet my friends or else they'll send out a search party."

"See you later Rosie."

"You too double trouble."

The next night Danneel waits until everyone in her dorm is asleep before creeping down the stairs and slipping out of the portrait hole. As promised Fred and George are leaning against the wall waiting for her.

"Now remember not a word of this to anyone," George says as they walk.

"Of course," Danneel promises.

"It's highly illegal and if Umbridge were to find out-" Fred presses.

"I know the severity," Danneel cuts in, "I don't need to get in trouble with Umbridge and I have relationships at stake as well. I could become an outcast if anyone were to find out."

"Well, I think you're being a little dramatic..." George laughs.

Danneel glares, "I'm not."

The rest of the way to the undisclosed location the three plan out their next big prank which includes hair dye, itching powder, canary cremes, and nose bleed nougats. Finally, they stop in front of a blank wall and Danneel looks at Fred.

"Is this some kind of joke?" Danneel asks.

"Just wait," Fred hums as he and George begin to pace.

After three paces a door appears and Fred smiles at Danneel's gobsmacked expression.

"Pretty cool ain't it?" George asks.

"Yeah. What is this place?"

"The room of requirement," Fred answers and pushes the door open, "It transforms to whatever you need. It was a broom closet once for George and me when we were running from Filch."

"Wicked!" Danneel exclaims and walks in, with the twins following behind her.

As soon as she steps in the room goes silent and all eyes on her. Her cheeks go red as she turns to face Fred.

"You didn't tell them I was coming did you?" Danneel whispers softly.

"We may have forgotten to mention it," Fred replies meekly and rubs the back of his neck.

"What's a snake doing here?" Some Hufflepuff yells.

Danneel turns to face them with a glare barring her teeth, "I could as you the same badger?

"Hey," A voice booms and the group parts revealing the chosen one himself, "What's going on here?"

"We brought a friend," George speaks up and stands next to Danneel.

"And as most of you know Danneel Rosier as just a Slytherin," Fred adds, "But she's much more than that. She's one of us and she wants to learn."

"How do we know that she won't rat us out?" Ron Weasley sneers.

"Because I'm not stupid," Danneel speaks up, "Because I have just as much to lose if not more then you do."

"Please you've got nothing," Ron argues, "You can turn to the toad and-"

"Enough!" Harry yells, "If Fred and George trust Danneel then so do I. Besides she hasn't shown any reason not to trust her."

"Thanks," Danneel says and nods with a smile, "And to put the rest of you at ease I'll do whatever you need, an unbreakable vow-"

"Do it!" Another random student yells.

"No," Hermione pipes up, "She can sign the list like the rest of us."

"Fine," Danneel says and walks over to Hermione who has the paper and gives her the quill. Danneel signs her name at the bottom of the list and returns the quill to the bushy-haired girl.

"There I did it," Danneel declares, "Can we learn something now?"

"Yes," Harry exclaims, "Let's learn. Everyone take out your wands and we're going to start with the disarming charm, Expelliarmus."
