Monday morning Ursa gets up in a good mood. She goes into the common room to see a small group of people gathered around the notice board. "What's so interesting?" Ursa asks.

"Umbridge just disbanded all teams, clubs, and groups." Draco says.

"What?!" Ursa exclaims before shoving past the small crowd to the notice board. "'By order of the High Inquisitor of Hogwarts: All Student Organizations, Societies, Teams, Groups, and Clubs are henceforth disbanded. An Organization, Society, Team, Group, or Club is hereby defined as a regular meeting of three or more students. Permission to re-form may be sought from the High Inquisitor (Professor Umbridge). No Student Organization, Society, Team, Group, or Club may exist without the knowledge and approval of the High Inquisitor. Any student found to have formed, or to belong to, an Organization, Society, Team, Group, or Club that has not been approved by the High Inquisitor will be expelled. The above is in accordance with Educational Decree Number Twenty-four. Signed: Dolores Jane Umbridge, High Inquisitor.' Well there goes my good mood." Ursa groans before leaving the common room. She runs into the trio outside the Great Hall. "Was anyone else having a good morning until they heard about the new Educational Decree?"

"Me." Harry says.

"Someone blabbed." Ursa says.

"They didn't." Hermione says.

"You're so naïve." Ron says. "You think just cause you're all honorable-"

"No, they didn't because I put a jinx on the parchment we signed. If someone blabbed we would know exactly who and they would really regret it."

"How?" Ursa asks.

"Let's just say it'll make Eloise Midgen's acne look like a couple of cute freckles." Ursa smile proudly.

"Hermione your dark side is showing. I like it." They walk into the Great Hall. "I'll see you all in Potions."

Later outside the Potions classroom, Draco speaks loudly. "Yeah, Umbridge already gave the Slytherin team permission to reform." He says. "I went to her this morning right away. Well it was pretty much automatic, I mean she knows my father well. He's always popping in and out of the Ministry. It'll be interesting to see if the Gryffindor team gets to reform."

"Draco shut up." Ursa says as she sees Harry and Ron with clenched fists. "No one cares."

"If it's a question of influence in the Ministry they wont. They've been looking for an excuse to sack Arthur Weasley for years."

"Draco Lucius Malfoy shut up!"

"As for Potter, it's only a matter of time before he's carted off to St Mungo's. Apparently they have a special ward there for people who's brains have been messed with by magic." Out of the corner of her eye, Ursa sees Neville shove past Harry and Ron.

"Neville no!" Harry shouts as he grabs the back of Neville's cloak. "Little help?" He asks as Neville struggles. Ron grabs Neville arm and they manage to drag him back. Crabbe and Goyle look sad as they were ready to fight. Snape opens the door and looks around.

"Fighting?" Snape questions. "Ten points from Gryffindor and release Longbottom, Potter." Harry releases Neville and people start to enter the classroom.

"Sorry Neville. I had to stop you." Harry says while Neville glares at him. "Crabbe and Goyle would have torn you apart." Neville snatches up his bag and storms into the classroom.

"What in the name of Merlin was that about?" Ron asks. Harry and Ursa look at each other. They both know why Neville reacted like that but promised not to tell anyone. Neville doesn't even know that they know.

***

"So Dobby gave me an idea of where to practice." Ursa says. "The Room of Requirement."

"Oh I read about that in Hogwarts: A History." Hermione says. "It's said to only appear to those who have a need for it. The book didn't say where to find it though."

"Luckily Dobby told me. Let's get the word out."

***

The trio get to the Room of Requirement first on the meeting night, followed by Ursa. One of the Dark Detectors in the room senses Ursa's presence and starts making an annoying noise. Ursa draws her wand and turns it to dust with the Reductor Curse. "What in Merlin's name was that?" Ron asks as he uncovers his ears.

"Dark Magic detector." Harry and Ursa both say.

"Dark Witches and Wizards can set them off." Ursa says. "Which I am."

"Right." Hermione says. "Look at all these books Ursa." Hermione and Ursa look at the books while people slowly start to file in. By eight, everyone is there, sitting on cushions on the floor.

"So Ursa and I have been thinking about the sort of stuff we should do first and-" Harry starts and Hermione raises her hand. "Yes Hermione?"

"I think we should elect a leader." Hermione says.

"Harry's leader." Cho says.

"Honestly I think it should be Ursa," Harry says. "She has more experience with DADA."

"Alright we should vote on it properly." Hermione says. "It makes it formal. So everyone thinks Harry should be our leader raise your hand." Everyone but Ron and Harry raise their hands. "Ron?"

"I agree with Harry about it being Ursa." Ron says.

"Yes, because they are going to trust the Slytherin and Malfoy blindly." Ursa says sarcastically. "The house with a horrible reputation."

"Alright Harry is leader; Ursa is just a teacher." Hermione says. "I think we should also have a name."

"How about the Anti-Umbridge League." Angelina suggests.

"Or the Ministry of Magic Are Morons Group?" Fred says and Ursa laughs.

"I was thinking of a name that didn't tell everyone what we're up to." Hermione says. "So we can refer to it safely outside meetings."

"The Defense Association?" Cho says. "The D.A. for short?"

"Yeah that's good." Ginny says. "Only let's make it stand for Dumbledore's Army since that's the Ministry's worst fear." Ursa frowns while others laugh.

"It could backfire if we're found out." Ursa says.

"All in favor of the D.A.?" Hermione says. The majority of people raise their hands and Hermione writes DUMBLEDORE'S ARMY across the top of the parchment they signed in large letters.

"Right." Ursa says. "I think it's a reckless name but should we get to practicing then?"

"I was thinking the first thing we should do is Expeliarmus." Harry says. "I know it's pretty basic but I found it is really useful."

"It saved your life." Ursa says.

"We are really supposed to be learning from a Malfoy?" McLaggen says.

"Do you have a problem with my family?" Ursa says. "Bad things happen to those who speak ill of my family."

"Yeah I do."

"Ursa relax please." Hermione says.

"Maybe you could be my partner for the first demonstration, McLaggen, was it?" Ursa says.

"Fine." McLaggen says.

"A sickle she does something to him?" Fred whispers to George.

"You're on." George whispers back. McLaggen walks over to Ursa.

"I assume you know the Disarming Charm?" Ursa asks.

"Of course I do." McLaggen replies.

"Go over there." McLaggen walks ten feet away and turns. "Whenever you are ready." Ursa says as she draws her wand. McLaggen draws his wand.

"Expelliarmis!" He casts. Ursa casts a nonverbal Shield Charm and his spell bounces off of it. It rebounds and his wand flies out of his hand and to Ursa. People chuckle and George discreetly gives Fred a Sickle.

"Now as you can see. A proper Disarming Charm will disarm your opponent. Normally their wand will not fly to you but I casted a nonverbal Summoning Charm. As you also saw, a strong Shield Charm can reflect any spell back on your opponent. Now. Everyone pair up and we will practice the Disarming Charm. Once everyone pairs off, Neville is left alone.

"I'll go with Neville." Harry says.

"Alright on the count of three, try to disarm your partner." Ursa says. "One, two, three."

The room fills with shouts of "Expelliarmis!" Spells fly in all directions and Ursa has to jump back as one flies at her.

"Make sure you're aiming for your partner." Ursa says. "Thank Merlin I know how to dodge spells."

"Expelliarmis!" Ursa hears Neville cast. She turns to see Harry's wand fly out of his hand. "I did it!" Neville says with glee and Ursa smiles softly. "I've never done it!" Ursa walks over to Hermione and Ron.

"Good job you two."

"Thanks Ursa." Ron says. Ursa walks around the room, correcting people's stances and wand movements. She notices Zacharias's wand flying out of his hand with his partner not casting. She doesn't have to look far to see George and Fred taking turns shooting Zacharias in the back. Ursa walks over to them.

"Sorry, couldn't help it." George says.

"Nice job with McLaggen earlier." Fred says. "Nice to see him get taken down a peg." Ursa fake bows and they all laugh. After a while of correcting people Ursa looks at her watch.

"Harry!" Ursa shouts. "Look at the time. We need to go."

"We'll meet up again next week." Harry says.

People go out in groups of threes and fours. Ursa leaves with some Hufflepuffs. She gets to the common room to see Draco waiting up for her.

"And where have you been?" Draco asks.

"With my friends, if you must know." Ursa says with an eye roll.

"Better not be doing anything you shouldn't. Don't want to get expelled form another school." Ursa rolls her eyes again and goes down the girls hall to her dorm.

***

Ursa is walking down the dungeon hall late at night, robe pulled tightly around her. Filch catches her. "What are you doing out of bed?" Filch asks.

"That is none of your business." Ursa replies.

"I should take you to Dumbledore." Filch says.

"Go ahead." Snape walks into the hall.

"What is going on here?" Snape asks.

"Caught this one sneaking around." Filch says.

"I was walking." Ursa says.

"I will handle it from here Mr Filch." Snape says. Filch mumbles to himself as he walks away. Snape doesn't speak again until Filch is out of earshot. "What are you doing out Ursa? I know your lessons were over hours ago."

"Sorry. I can't sleep. I thought a walk might help."

"Nightmares again?" Ursa nods. "Come with me." Ursa follows Snape to the potions storeroom. He gets a potion before leading Ursa to his chambers. He gets a glass of juice and puts a measured amount of potion in it. He holds it out to Ursa. "Drink this then straight to bed." Ursa looks at it.

"What is it?"

"Dreamless Sleep."

"My mother already tried it over the summer."

"Just try it again. Your mother probably didn't give you enough." Ursa shrugs and drinks it. "Alright. To bed before it kicks in."

"Thanks."

Ursa wakes up in the morning and looks at the time, she's late for potions. "Fuck." She quickly changes and gets ready with magic. She grabs her books and runs to the kitchen. She gets some toast from Dobby and eats it as she walks to class. "Sorry I'm late." Ursa says when she arrives. Snape nods at her seat and Ursa sits. "Why the hell didn't you wake me up?" Ursa asks Pansy when Snape dismisses them to work.

"I tried." Pansy says. "I even threw water on you."

"I'm going to kill him."

"Who?"

"Snape."

After class, Ursa goes up to Snape. "Would you please explain why Pansy couldn't wake me up this morning?" She asks him.

"The juice I gave you already had a Sleeping Draught in it." Snape says. "I figured you could use the sleep and was fine with you sleeping through my class."

"You could have told me that."

"You didn't miss anything important now get to your next class."

An: This will probably be the last chapter for a while. Having some writers block.
