    ... them got out their own homework and settled in to work. XXX Harry and his friends managed to contact all the DA leaders quietly over the next day, so after supper found the group meeting in the Room of Requirement. Harry checked the Marauder's Map continuously, watching their dots disappear as they entered the room in groups of two or three. When they were all present, he put the map away and sat down on one of the sofas that the room had provided. Once they were all seated as well, he told them all of his conversation with Minerva. "Are you all interested, and willing to do this?" he asked earnestly, looking at each of them in turn. Cedric was the first to respond, taking his girlfriend's hand in his and squeezing reassuringly. "Harry, I was in that graveyard, same as you. I saw what… Voldemort… is capable of." He forced himself to say the Dark Lord's name. Around the room, there were a few flinches, but the majority of them had no reaction. "Umbridge is going to kill us all if we listen to her." He looked over at Cho and smiled.

Blaise and Daphne shared a glance, before Blaise spoke for both of them. "We're with you, Harry, no matter what. Learning how to defend ourselves against Voldemort is more important than playing it safe." Susan nodded. "Aunt Amelia says Fudge won't last much longer, and I fully believe that Umbridge is going to hang herself very soon, but we can't just wait for that to happen." She swallowed harshly. "V-Voldemort won't care how young we are. Everyone here is in danger because that woman won't teach us to defend ourselves. If you're willing to take on that mantle, I'll follow." Harry actually felt the threat of tears build up behind his eyes. He had become so much closer to all of these people in the last year, but to hear the level of confidence they held in him was… it was too much for him to even put in to words.
