Characters: All DA Members Date: Sunday, September 22, 1997; 11pm, after prefect rounds Location: Room of Requirement Warnings: Doubtful, unless tempers run high Summary: The DA has their first meeting of the year.
Ginny had sent out the announcement over the charmed galleons, for lack of a better option, giving them the date of the meeting. She wasn't sure if everyone still had their coins, but as Susan had pointed out, the journals weren't safe enough to trust. She trusted her brothers to have made the privacy wards strong enough to avoid prying, but there was always the chance that someone would find or steal a journal belonging to one of them. The less said the better, at least in written form.
She made it to the Room first, making it successfully through the halls without running into any teachers. She did see Padma at one point but didn't want to call attention by stopping to talk to her, just in case a teacher was around.
The Room looked just like it had in fourth year, which was quite comforting. She wandered over to the bookshelf, which the Room had helpfully updated; since the rise of You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters quite a few new books on defensive magic had been published. She wasn't sure if any of them were good, but at least worth looking at.
