I’M A SLAVE FOR YOU
The Dumbledore Army were all
gathered in the Shrieking Shack, huddled nearest to the fire with some snacks
they got from Honeydukes to share among themselves.
They had planned to do this meeting in the Snape
Manor along with Neville and Colin, but ever since Severus was relieved of
membership from the Order and he has kept both boys busy with being Harry’s mini-bodyguards over the unborn baby, they could no
longer conduct their secret meetings there and include them in it. It was Lil
who suggested to have the meeting in the Shrieking
Shack, mostly because she wanted to get the feel of returning to the place that
she was resurrected, and also the fact that this was the most remote place that
had no access to Floo-ing or firecall
networks, thus their privacy secured.
“Feels kinda
creepy to be back here,” Lil said as she tried to quell her goosebumps.
“Strange too, especially at that time I was totally clueless about what I was
doing here. Come to think of it, I’m still clueless.”
“You said you were dead once, then resurrected, right?” Cedric
asked, earning a nod from Lil. “I’m sure whoever did it must’ve wanted you to
solve the case of the Ministry scandal. So don’t worry. All will be revealed
soon.”
“I doubt it,” Zacharias replied,
rolling his eyes. “She’s probably resurrected by the Ministry themselves to spy
on us. I mean, is she even on our side to begin with?”
“Shut up, Zach,” Cho Chang scowled
at him. “You’re always the pessimist among us. It’s a wonder Harry could even
tolerate you!”
“Don’t listen to Zach,” Alicia said
as she waved Zacharias away. “I think you’re a brave girl to dare tackle the
Ministry and come out with a finding like that.”
“I agree,” Lee Jordan nodded. “You’ve
done well by Harry, being able to investigate this far ahead. Whoever resurrected
you had done the right thing.”
“Yeah, well, unfortunately like your
Prof. Snape said,” Lil sighed with a sad smile. “I am
a walking time bomb. The effects of my resurrection may be temporary. There is
no telling when I would just suddenly drop dead and turn into ashes.”
“Who cares whether you will be
permanently alive or not,” Ron said as he clapped her back. “The good thing is
you’ve got the Ministry by the balls! Sooner or later, we are going to bust
their asses and save the wizarding world!”
“Calm down, Ron,” Hermione said as
she nudged him. “We don’t know yet how the outcome of Headmaster Dumbledore and
the Order is at the moment to start anything.”
“Speaking of which, where is Beck anyway? Shouldn’t she be joining
in our meeting as well?”
“She’s compiling the last of the
evidence we’ve found and are showing them to the Order as we speak,” Lil
replied. “Hopefully by the day after tomorrow, they will take it up to the
secret meeting with the branch Ministries and get started on the plans to
boycott the Ministry.”
“If they are going on an all-out
boycott…” Seamus noted. “Would that mean that we are actually going to go up
with the government that runs this
entire wizarding world?”
“This is very much exciting,” Luna
noted. “It’s almost like the Muggle stories I’ve read
about conspiracy theories and espionage.”
“Isn’t this wonderful, Won-Won?”
Lavender cooed at Ron. “This is so much more exciting than Quidditch!”
“Err, um, yeah, right,” Ron
stuttered nervously, earning a glare from Hermione and a yank towards her
direction.
“I just don’t get you!” Hermione
scolded Lavender. “You’re just here for the sake of Ron, who happens to be my fiancé, thank you very much! Where’s all the other guys you got to fuck with? You’re not
genuinely concerned about Har at all, aren’t you?!”
“So what if I am?” Lavender shot
back. “No one wants a Know-It-All like you who acts like she still wears a
chastity belt like it’s the Holy Grail! You should know by now that Ron prefers
someone who is experienced!”
“Yeah, experienced
in being a whore!”
“Why, I oughta…”
“Ooh~! Catfight!”
Fred and George grinned as they turned their attention to the girls as if they
were watching some kind of blockbuster movie.
“Alright, alright, break it up,
girls!” Lil came between them. “Now is not the time to be feuding over some
guy. We have more important matters to be at hand here, like the Ministry, for
example.”
“Right,” Hermione straightened
herself and gave one last glare at Lavender before turning to the group. “So,
guys, you know what you’re here for. Anything you would like to report on your
progress of spreading the word discreetly to the public about the scandal?”
“Well, to be honest,” Susan replied
as she scratched her chin. “It’s not really that good on my side. Coz of me
being related to my aunt who works in the Wizengamot,
no one would think too much about my words. They’re probably thinking I was
spreading these words on behalf of the Ministry as a reverse
psychology propaganda or that I was being a conspiracy theorist. At most, I
think I only got through about 1 out of 10 people that I’ve talked to. The rest
were between the lines of ‘Oh, yeah, sure, whatever you say, little girl’ or
something like that.”
“It’s up to them whether they want
to believe you or not,” Hermione said. “Just keep at it and try to convince as
much people to be on ours and the Order’s side as possible.”
“Come to think of it,” Ernie tapped
his chin. “Why do we have to do this discreetly? Can’t we just go to the media
with this? We should put this into consideration.”
“The last thing we need is to have
the media broadcasting the whole lot and allowing the Ministry to foil our
plans and leap ahead of us before we can boycott them. Don’t put your heads in
a bunch about that and concentrate on the agenda at hand first.”
“I’m just saying. I mean, we’ve got
Rita Skeeter in the Daily Prophet and everyone
believes her stories, so if we use her…”
“Rita Skeeter?!” Ginny exclaimed. “Not that tongue-wagger gossip girl who couldn’t even spell a proper name
right now, are you?”
“There is no way you can let that
woman know of the scandal!” Fred exclaimed, followed by George. “She is the
last person we’d want to have a field day with this news. Remember we tried to
use her to advertise our shop?”
“Yeah,” Ron stifled a chortle. “There
are still people who think that your shop is an adult novelty shop that sells
things to be shoved into every orifice of the body.”
“Ron!” Hermione ribbed Ron, slightly
reminded of their own private sex games with the toy.
“Anyway, she is a disaster,” the Weasley twins groaned, finishing each other’s sentences. “Asking
her to spread the news…”
“…is like asking her to pour
Boils-Inducing Solution on the whole wizarding world.”
“We cannot afford that sort of
mishap in our heads…”
“…not after what Lil and Beck had
gone through to gather evidence against the Ministry.”
“OK, seriously? That is really creeping me out,” Justin Finch-Fletchley
cringed at the way the Weasley twins were able to
communicate like this without missing a beat.
“How did you think I feel living in
that situation for the rest of my natural life?” Ron groaned.
“We take that as a compliment,” the Weasley twins grinned simultaneously.
“Well, that’s Susan’s report,”
Hermione said. “What about the rest of you?”
Soon, one by one, the DA members
brought forth their news. Hannah had tried her luck with her Hufflepuff classmates and her own family, while Katie Bell
spread it through casual talk with the Quidditch
player members. Terry, still aiming to please Hermione despite witnessing that
catfight just now, told of how he started a secret club of his own as their
response to their hate towards Prof. Slughorn—though the
name ‘Slug Hater’ wasn’t exactly very impressive—and asked his group members to
help spread the word as well. Lavender spread her tales to her many close
friends in Divination classes and around her hometown, giving Hermione a smug
look in process as she tried to impress Ron on how many people and connections
she knew, when in fact Hermione knew most of the people she mentioned were the
guys she randomly slept with.
Cho Chang and Cedric did their part
in spreading the word to their families, mostly on Cedric’s part when he spread
it to his fellow Quidditch player cum friends. Michael
had done his part in spreading the word among his friends and family,
particularly those in the Duelling Club, while Ginny
spread to housemates of her year. Marietta, being that she was happy to be
given a chance to rebel against her mother, was the most enthusiastic in
spreading the news as she told it to every gossip monger in the neighbourhood, being that she couldn’t trust her own family
to keep the secret from her mother, and to friends she would meet up whenever
she got the chance to walk the dog when she was home instead of at Hogwarts,
and even in Hogwarts, she spread them to every Ravenclaw
she could get her hands on. Justin played his part by telling this to his Muggle parents, and was almost forbidden to come back to
school for fear of being hurt by this scandal, and also told it to his Muggle friends who knew of his nature as a Muggle-born, scoring a bit of fame among them for being
part of some sort of bravado freedom fighter.
Anthony spread the word via his
fellow Prefects in school as well as his family members, while Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas to their respective friends in
Gryffindor and to their families, though Seamus’ father took it a little harder
than Dean’s family did, claiming that it was just as much as a nasty shock as
he had when he found out Seamus’ mother was a witch after their marriage. Angelina
spread it to the usual family and friends, while Lee Jordan, being that he was
the Quidditch commentator and good with words and
broadcasting machinery, has gotten started on creating his own pirate radio
station that can only be accessed via a very remote channel that only certain
headphones can pick up the broadcast and made live broadcasts of it under a pseudonym.
His way was, by far, the riskiest way because of the chances of hitting it out
to the larger public and consequently the Ministry, but the DA members finally
voted their trust on Lee Jordan knowing what he was doing.
Luna had not much friends, so she
only had her father, who is the editor-in-chief of The Quibbler, to tell. Though
unfortunately for her father, because it was to be discreet and not to let
anyone, much less the Ministry and the media, to know, he had to hold up his
end of the bargain of restraining himself from publishing this scoop in favour of his daughter, who quietly made an actual threat (something
she had never done before) that if he exposed it before its time, she would
either kill herself the way her mother did or disown herself from him. Ernie was
a bit of a tight spot and had limited people to tell since he was descended
from nine consecutive generations of pureblood witches and wizards and had been
pressured by his family to be a sort of elitist like them, while Zacharias was
the least successful with his news-spreading because of his previous haughty
reputation.
The twins Padma
and Parvati Patil were just
as enthusiastic as Marietta in spreading the news to their friends and family
as they would do anything for their little Harry whom they share a sisterly
affection for. They still continued to rival out each other in the
news-spreading, seeing who could spread it the most and in the most discreet
way possible, claiming that it would help them gather merits later when it was
time to grab Harry’s attention on them. They faced
the same situation as Justin from their parents but was determined to carry on
with their mission in favour of their little Harry. Alicia had her
fair share of friends to spread the word with, while the Weasley
twins were probably having the most advantage in news-spreading as they ran a
shop in the busiest part of the wizarding world. They
also revealed to be affiliated with Lee Jordan in selling those certain headphones
in secret for anyone who would want to listen in to Lee Jordan’s broadcast in
his pirate radio station, and offered special coupons so that those interested
can come to their shop at their discretion to purchase those headphones.
“Well, we have a rather fruitful
result so far despite the odds,” Hermione said as she took note of everyone’s
report. “Is there anything you would like to add before we conclude this
meeting?”
Just as everyone was looking at each
other to see if they have missed out anything, a rare species of hawk owl came flying in
and landed on Lil’s shoulder, a note tied onto its leg. Lil set the owl down
onto the table, much to the team’s surprise, and took off the note from the leg
while the owl helped itself to some shepherd’s pie. As she opened the note, everyone
leaned in to see what it read, anxious to find out what it was.
“What does it say?” Lee Jordan
asked. “And whose owl is this? It’s rare to see this kind of breed around.”
“That owl is Bear, belonging to
Beck,” Lil said as she read the note. “Careful. He bites. He only lets me and
Beck manhandle him.”
“So what does the note say?” Padma and Parvati asked simultanouesly, almost like the Weasley
twins.
Lil finished reading and looked up
with a smile.
“Beck had just finished collecting
every single evidence, both concrete and circumstantial evidence, on the
Ministry and confirmed to have the secret meeting with the branch Ministries by
next week.”
“That’s wonderful!” Cho Chang
exclaimed, followed by cheers and high-fives from all the DA members.
“And…?” Hermione probed, seeing that
Lil seemed to have something else to say.
“You
are invited to attend. All of you DA members.”
It felt almost like forever when the
news sunk into each and every one’s head. There was only one thing to say,
expressed exclusively by Ron.
“Bloody hell.”
A/N: You said that right, Ron! Bloody hell! How is all this
going to add up to the current drama? You’re gonna
have to follow up on that! This is getting more and more exciting by the
minute! Reviews plz!
