[HP] Leader's Exclusive Rose

mine?mine.

The day of the first meeting was fast approaching - and Hermione was going crazy trying to find a good time.

Five people split up to find the person who signed at the Pig's Head Bar, and informed the evening meeting.Harry was disappointed that Ginny found Cho Chang and her friends before he did.But by the end of dinner, everyone who had been to the Hog's Head last time got the news.

At 07:30, Cedric and Rosalind were waiting for the Gryffindor trio at the stairs. Harry, Ron and Hermione had already left the Gryffindor common room, haha In Leigh's hand was an old piece of parchment—the Marauder's Map.At the top of the stairs he had used it to see where Umbridge and Filch were, luckily neither of them were nearby.

At the portrait, the moth-eaten troll stopped beating the ballet teachers and turned to watch them.Cedric reminded gently: "Walk through this wall three times and concentrate on thinking about what we need."

They followed this pattern, going to the window at one end of the white wall, turning back, walking to the person-high vase at the other end and turning back.

"Sed." When they turned around for the third time, Rosalind called to the brown-haired boy.

A very smooth door appeared on the wall.When Ron saw it for the first time, he stared at it closely, wary.Cedric stepped forward and grasped the brass handle, opened the door, and led the way into a spacious room lit with torches, like a dungeon.

There is a row of wooden bookshelves by the wall, and there are no chairs on the floor, but there are large satin cushions.On a shelf across the room were looking glasses, secret detectors, and other instruments, as well as a large cracked demon mirror that Harry was sure hung in the fake Moody's office last year.

"These are useful when practicing the stun spell." Ron kicked the cushion with his feet and said excitedly.

"Look at these books!" Hermione excitedly ran a finger across the spines of the rows of thick sheepskin-bound books, "Common Spells and Solutions", "Outsmart Black Magic", "Self-Defense Spells" "...Wow!" She looked back at Rosalind and Harry, her face beaming: "It's great, we have everything we want."

As she spoke, she immediately pulled out "Collection of Fighting Drugs with Poison" from the bookshelf, sat down on the nearest cushion and began to read.

There was a soft knock on the door, and Cedric and Harry turned to see Ginny, Neville, Parvati and Dean had arrived.

"Wow," Dean exclaimed, looking around, "is this what you call the 'House of Requirement'?"

Cedric nodded, but before he had finished his introductions someone else came in—every cushion was filled by eight o'clock.Harry glanced at the crowd and went to the door, turning the key in the lock with a satisfying click, and everyone fell silent looking at him and Cedric.

"Well," said Harry a little nervously, "this is the practice space we found, and everyone - oh - obviously thinks it's okay?"

"It's wonderful!" Qiu said excitedly, and several people echoed in low voices.

"That's weird," Fred said, frowning, looking around. "We escaped Filch here, George, remember? But it was just a broom closet..."

"Hey, Harry, what's this?" Dean asked in the back row, pointing to the looking glass and the demon mirror.

"Dark magic detectors," Harry said, walking between the cushions, "they are generally used to show whether there are dark wizards or enemies nearby, but don't rely too much on these instruments, they may be deceived..."

He looked into the cracked demon mirror for a while, and there were vague figures moving, but they couldn't be seen clearly.He ignored it.

"Well, I've been thinking about what we should do first, uh—" he said, looking at Cedric, "Like we said last time at the Hog's Head, Cedric and I will teach you Defense Against the Dark Arts The related incantations of the art, that's it."

"I think we should have a name," said Hermione clearly, holding her hands in the air. "It'll foster unity and strengthen the group spirit, won't it?"

"Is it okay to call it the 'Anti-Umbridge League'?" Angelina asked expectantly.

"Or 'The Ministry of Magic is a team of idiots'?" Fred suggested.

"I think," Rosalind turned her head to look at the two of them, "it's better not to let people know what we are doing, so that we can safely refer to it outside, right?"

"Defense Association?" Qiu pressed his chin and thought, "DA for short, no one knows what we are talking about."

"Hey, DA's not bad," Ginny echoed. "It can also mean 'Dumbledore's Army,' which is what the Ministry of Magic fears the most, isn't it?"

There was a murmur of approval and laughter from the crowd.

"Do you all agree with the DA?" Hermione asked like a host, kneeling to count the heads. "Most—the motion passed."

Then she nailed the slip of paper with everyone's name on it to the wall, writing the name that had just passed on the top.

"Very well," Harry said after she sat down, and then he looked at the other "teacher" beside him: "Shall we start practicing? I think the first one is disarming you, you know, It's the Disarming Charm. I know it's basic, but I think it works—"

"Oh, please," said Zacharias Smith, crossing his arms and staring wide-eyed, "I guess the Disarming Charm doesn't work on You-Know-Who?"

"I used it on him," said Harry deadpan, "and it saved my life in June."

Smith opened his mouth blankly, and there was no sound in the room.

"But if you don't bother practicing it, you can leave." Harry's emerald green eyes fixed on the sullen teenager as if he didn't matter.

Smith didn't move -- no one in the room moved.

"Since all of us have chosen to come here tonight and become a member of the DA, first of all we should be clear about the purpose of coming here—" Cedric calmly looked at the crowd in front of him, and Rosalind was standing right behind him He said, "Harry and I are honored to be recognized by everyone as the 'teacher' of this organization, so the first thing we have to do is to believe him, isn't it?" The crowd focused on him, and glanced at Harry from time to time.

Harry's mouth was a little dry, but he said dutifully, "I think we should practice in pairs."

It's weird to give instructions, but even weirder to see them carried out.Everyone stood up immediately and paired up, but Neville was left alone.

"Neville, you can practice with me." Harry walked towards his classmates, and Rosalind walked past Cedric and patted Harry on the shoulder after listening, "Let me practice with him? You go and Seid is responsible for walking around together to see how everyone is practicing. If there is anyone who needs help, then you can help in time."

Harry glanced at Neville, who was a little nervous, and finally nodded towards the black-haired girl: "Then I'll go and act separately from Cedric, and Neville will leave it to you."

The girl nodded tenderly, then raised her eyebrows mischievously at her fiancé.

Cedric and Harry stood at the front, and Harry glanced at the crowd of twos and twos in front of him: "Listen to me counting to three—one, two, three—"

Suddenly there was a shout of disarming in the room, wands flew in all directions, miss spells hit the books on the shelves, and books flew into the air.Cedric looked around and felt that Harry's advice to start with the basics was right: many spells were used indiscriminately, and quite a few people couldn't disarm their opponents at all, only forcing them to jump back a few steps or flinch, Powerless spells whizzed over their heads.

Neville was hesitant to cast spells, especially since he didn't know Rosalind - he only knew her name and that she was Cedric's girlfriend.Rosalind couldn't help laughing at his submissive look: "Don't be nervous, just like this, I'll show you a demonstration - when the spell exited, Neville's wand spun and flew into her hand.

"That's it, just give it a try, relax and just concentrate on chanting the spell." The girl said softly, and handed him back the wand at the same time.

"Disarm!" Neville pursed his lower lip and shouted suddenly.Caught off guard, the wand flew out of the girl's hand and hit the chandelier hanging from the ceiling, before being bounced onto the bookshelf.

"I did it!" said Neville joyfully. "Never before - I did it!"

"Very good!" Rosalind gave him an encouraging look, and cast another coming spell to bring the wand back into her hand. "Practice a lot, and you'll be able to use this spell very well."

Cedric and Harry walked around trying to correct the wrongdoers: Ginny was in a group with Michael Conner, she did a great job, Michael didn't do too badly, but he just wouldn't read this to her spell.Ernie McMillan waved his wand unnecessarily, allowing the opponent to take advantage of it.The Creevey brothers were enthusiastic, but their technology was unstable, and most of the books that flew off the nearby shelves were due to them.Luna's spells are also capricious, sometimes making Justin Fenrieri's wand spin and fly, other times just making his hair stand on end.

However, after the two of them patrolled and stopped from time to time to give their opinions and suggestions, everyone's skills gradually improved.

Cedric cast his eyes on Rosalind from time to time, and was slightly relieved to see that nothing happened to her.Harry avoided Cho and her friends at first, but after a couple of rounds he decided he couldn't ignore them any longer - so he walked up to both of them to watch them practice.

"Hey, Harry," Cedric called him not far away after a while, interrupting his conversation with Qiu, "Have you checked the time?"

Harry looked down at his watch and was taken aback - it was already ten past nine, and they had to go back to the common room immediately, or they might be caught and severely punished by Filch.

Then he whistled hard, and the yelling stopped instantly, and the last few wands fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Very well," said Harry, "but we're running out of time, so let's get here. Same time, same place next week?"

"Earlier is better!" Dean Thomas said eagerly, and many people nodded in agreement.

But Angelina hurriedly said: "The Quidditch season is about to start, and the team also needs to practice!"

"Then next Wednesday night," said Harry, "and then we'll decide on other meeting times... Well, we'd better go quickly..."

He took out the Marauder's Map again and carefully checked whether there was a teacher on the eighth floor.Cedric suggested that we all go in groups of three or four, and Harry watched anxiously to see if their little spots made it back to the dormitory safely: the Hufflepuffs were back in the corridor that also led to the kitchen basement, and Lavin Crowe returned to the tower on the west side of the castle, and Gryffindor returned to the portrait of the Fat Lady along the corridor on the eighth floor.

In the end, only the Gryffindor trio and a young couple were left in the house.

"You guys go first, Seid and I will leave later." Rosalind looked at Harry's emerald green eyes and smiled softly: "Don't worry, Umbridge and Filch won't catch you. "

"Ah, that's fine, fine." Harry pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and was dragged out of the Room of Requirement by Hermione and Ron with teasing faces.
