"The Pig's Head Bar? I haven't been here for a long time." When I arrived at the place Hermione told us, I stopped at the signboard of the storefront.

I remember when I came here for the first time, I came with Seid, and we were just friends at that time.

Thinking of the long memories, I feel my cheeks feel a little hot, and that incident is still fresh in my memory as if it happened yesterday.

All I can say is that the butter beer that day was definitely the best butter beer I've ever had.

Cedar took my hand and pushed open the store door. Immediately, several eyes focused on us. I saw many familiar faces, including Qiu, Marietta and Morgan.

Seeing me coming, Hermione smiled at me, and Seid and I found an empty seat and sat down.

After taking the Weasley—I couldn't tell if it was Fred or George, but Morgan looked like Fred—semi-forced (?) Butterbeer, Hermione spoke.

"Um," said Hermione, her voice a little higher than usual because of her nervousness, "uh-hm, hello everyone. So... well, you all know why you're here. Um... well, Harry Come up with an idea, I mean - I've got an idea - if anyone wants to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts, I mean, learn the real thing, not the crap that Umbridge taught us -"

Hermione's voice suddenly became firmer and more righteous, and I nodded in agreement, "No one would call that thing Defense Against the Dark Arts—"

"Well said, well said!" said Anthony Goldstein, and Hermione seemed encouraged, "—I think we might as well, er, figure things out ourselves."

She paused, looked sideways at Potter, and continued: "I mean to learn how to effectively protect yourself, not only to learn the theory, but also to practice the real spell—"

"But I guess, you must also pass the OWLs in Defense Against the Dark Arts?" Michael Corner said.

"Of course it is," said Hermione immediately, "but more than that, I want to get formal training in defense because...because..." She took a deep breath before finishing, "because Voldemort came back."

Hearing these three words, I felt my emotions tense up. I heard Marietta scream. If it wasn't for Seid holding my hand tightly now, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to help but be shocked. Call out, the fear brought by these three words is too great.

"Well...that's the plan," said Hermione, "and if you want to join, we need to decide how we—"

"What evidence is there that the mysterious man is back?"

asked Zacharias Smith of Hufflepuff in an aggressive tone.

"Oh, Dumbledore believed—" Hermione didn't finish.

"You mean to say that Dumbledore believed him." Smith nodded at Potter, "I think we have a right to know why he said the You-Know-Who is back."

Hermione seemed to want to change the subject, but Potter nodded at him, then turned to Smith

"Why did I say that the You-Know-Who is back?" he asked, looking straight into Smith's face, "because I saw him. Dumbledore told the whole school what happened at the end of last school year, if you don't believe him , then you won’t believe me either, I don’t want to waste an afternoon convincing others to believe me.”

Smith showed a somewhat contemptuous expression, obviously he didn't take this kind of thing, just when he was about to say something, Seid spoke.

"I've seen it." Seid's voice was unexpectedly calm, "I was almost killed by his men. At that time, I saw him."

Seid... I looked at him with some concern. I don't want him to recall those bad things again. Although he held my hand, his slightly trembling hand still betrayed his mood at the moment. All she had to do was grab his hand harder.

As soon as Sed finished speaking, the audience fell silent. I knew his words had worked. Sed has always been very convincing. What's more, he is still the chairman of the male students. With this witness, people will no longer question him. Porter.

After that, it obviously went much smoother, and the atmosphere began to become more relaxed. Everyone began to chat about the time and place, and finally decided to once a week, but the place has not yet been decided.

"Well, let's find a way to find a place," Hermione said. "When we confirm the time and place of the first meeting, we will send a message to inform everyone."

She rummaged in her bag for a while, produced parchment and a quill, then hesitated, as if trying to force herself to speak.

"I—I want everyone to write their names down so we know who's here today. I also think," she took a deep breath, "that we should all agree that we don't So once you sign, you agree not to tell Umbridge or anyone else about us."

Potter's friends signed their names on the paper almost without hesitation, and some people were a little unhappy when they heard that their names were to be written. They were worried that if things were revealed, they would bear the responsibility Responsibility.

"If we can't even protect ourselves, how can we bear the responsibility?"

Saying that, Seid stepped forward and signed his name without hesitation, and I followed closely behind and signed my name on the paper. When I finished signing, I looked up and saw Hermione showing me A grateful smile.

Seeing that both of us had signed, the voice of complaining at the beginning gradually subsided, and everyone stepped forward to sign their names.

However, during the signing process, I saw Marietta's expression was obviously not very good-looking when she was queuing, and she gave Qiu a reproachful look. She must be upset about signing the parchment.

After everyone signed their names, Hermione put the parchment in her bag, and the first assembly was thus disbanded.

I saw Qiu say a few words to Harry, but Marietta stood at the door with folded arms showing a very impatient expression, Qiu could only show an apologetic expression to Harry, and waved at me again , followed Marietta away.

Hmm... It seems that I have to have a good chat with her when I go back.

In the following time, I took a stroll in Hogsmeade with Seid. To be honest, I felt that all this was unreal for a moment. Seid was standing next to me alive, and his body temperature It passed from my hand to mine, and all of this... It's like a dream.

"What's wrong? I'm in a daze again." Seid waved his hand in front of me, pulling me back from my thoughts.

"Nothing. Shall we go to Honey Dukes next?"

"I guessed you would say that."

Seid stretched out his hand and pinched my nose, and I hugged his arm tightly, leaning my whole head on his arm, enjoying the moment of tranquility, and all the noise around me seemed to be in harmony with it. I have nothing to do.

"Sed?"

"Ok?"

"As long as you're by my side, I'm not afraid of anything."

"Me too."

...

As I expected, when I returned to the lounge, I saw Marietta yelling at Qiu with dissatisfaction, and Qiu was anxious to explain to her.

"I promise you just go and see, why do I have to sign that damn name?"

"Mary, this is a good chance, there's no way Umbridge will teach us Defense Against the Dark Arts..."

"After all, you're only doing it for Potter, right? It sounds nice, you must be proud to be Potter's girlfriend, right?"

"I didn't! I really didn't mean that..."

Qiu's face was flushed red, she looked like she was about to cry, I hurried up to separate the two of us.

"Mary, calm down. Think about it carefully, this is not a bad thing, no one likes Umbridge, we can't let her go on like this."

"Then what you should do is to stand up and confront her, instead of getting together secretly and dragging everyone around you into trouble." Marietta shook off my hand and replied coldly.

"I don't mean to drag everyone around me into trouble. Umbridge now represents the Ministry of Magic, and the Ministry of Magic is now intervening in Hogwarts. I can't just sit back and watch it ruin my school. ’ I replied word for word, ‘I will fight, but now is not the time. So Mary, please, stand with us.’

Marietta stared at me for a while, then at Qiu behind me with tears in her eyes, and finally sighed.

"You know I can't have as much courage as you. My parents told me not to go against the Ministry of Magic, but...if it's to support a friend... maybe I might think about it..."

Qiu didn't wait for Marietta to finish speaking and hugged the two of us tightly. Finally, Marietta stopped keeping a straight face like before, but patted Qiu's back lightly, although her tone was still a bit stiff.

"I said I was just thinking about it, but I haven't fully agreed to you yet."

A few days later, a new announcement was posted on the bulletin board in the lounge.
