... different from what they were used to, it made them all sit up and take notice. There was a strong and confident air around her, and her voice lost its dreamy quality as she answered the question Harry had posed, for once not even mentioning a single mythical creature. "I trust you, Harry. And I want to help. My father always said it was a matter of time before Fudge tried to take over Hogwarts. He's given me full permission to do whatever I want to undermine their authority." Harry smiled. "Thanks, guys," he said sincerely. "Can you talk to members in your houses discretely, and I'm thinking if we meet here Saturday after supper, same meeting time as usual, and we'll hopefully have a way to communicate by then. I think if we change up meeting days, it'll make it harder for anyone to see a pattern, and harder to get caught." "That's a good idea," Cedric commented. "Do you have any ideas on how we'll let people know when the meeting is each week?" Harry and Hermione looked at each other, before Hermione pulled out a couple of coins and held them up. "Harry and I spent our free periods today working on these, and we think it'll work. Harry has the master coin," she held up the one in her right hand, "and when he changes the date on his, the rest will change as well. You can see here," she turned the coin slightly, indicating a series of numbers on the edge, "these numbers indicate a date and time. A Protean Charm will link all of the coins together."

We managed to link these two together, so it shouldn't bee too much trouble to make more." "Where'd you get the coins from?" Cedric asked. Harry bit his lip. "I conjured them," he replied quietly. Cedric shifted in his seat. "How long will it last?" he queried, knowing that permanent conjuration was not something most witches and wizards were able to achieve, and making anything last longer than a few weeks required a lot of power. It wasn't something that was normally even covered until sixth year. Harry shrugged. "The stuff I practiced conjuring over the summer is still there, so a few months at least. If I had to guess, the coins will most likely last at least until the end of the school year. Hopefully we won't need to keep using them that long, but they should work if we need them to." "Blimey," Cedric breathed, his eyes wide. The other in the room were also looking at Harry with varying degrees of awe. It was slightly more subdued in Daphne and Blaise's expressions, and dreamier in Luna's, but it was there. The conversation wrapped up pretty quickly after that; Harry was uncomfortable with the amount of admiration his friends were looking at him with. He knew that it was rather impressive, but he really wished they wouldn't make such a big deal of it. XXX Potions class on Thursday morning was both ...
