~~How do I bloody well do this. Just - blurt it right on out there? Dither up first? Oh hell.~~

I was wondering if there is interest in reforming Dumbledore's Army, the Defense Against the Dark Arts organisation. I know that last time it existed under a veil of secrecy, but this time around, we have the Headmistress's ~~encouragement~~ approval as well as staff support. The role of the DA was vital to the victory we achieved at Hogwarts just a bit back, and it's clear that it's paramount for all of us to not lose practical skills of battle against Dark Forces in a time of apparent peace. Unlike your DADA class, we focus not on theory with supplementary spell practise but instead on hands-on casting of protective and defensive spells. And this time, no sneaking around from ~~bloody sadistic bitch Umbridge~~ the rest of Hogwarts, which is a bit of a bonus.

We're open to all ages, all levels of DADA, though depending on interest, we'll probably have split times between those in the upper levels and those below. But more critical, anyone can join, whether you were in the first DA or not.

So - anyone want to give it a go?

I had never seen you form a corporeal patronus before, I think it's a fair insinuation.

Do you really want my resume? Would that satisfy your worries that I don't know enough to teach this? ~~You are going to feel like an arse Smith. But - if you insist.~~

I received an O on my OWL and my NEWT in DADA these past two years. I produced a corporeal patronus at the age of thirteen, and I can now produce Auror-level defensive spells against Dark Magic due to weekly private tutelage by Professor Snape. I have also received private lessons from Professor emeriti Moody and Lupin, as well as Auror Nymphadora Tonks and Headmistress McGonagall. Oh, and Minister of Magic Kingsley Shacklebot, who is happy to owl you a letter of recommendation on my behalf, if you still are worried about my qualifications. I was offered a position as an Auror before school began, but I asked to return here and finish off my last year of school ~~though most of the time, I don't know why~~. I am currently being consulted by the Ministry as to the reorginisation of the Auror Office as well as the Ministry's ongoing efforts to better track and understand dark wizards.

Oh. And I defeated Tom Riddle, aka Lord Voldemort, on three occasions, the third resulting in his death.

And for the record, I taught Hermione how to do a patronus, since it is advanced magics. I produced one when I was thirteen, which is what, four years before it's taught? Just so that you don't need to worry about yourself and your safety if Hermione is too busy to "whisper" in my ear.

	I forgot: I also have learned the skill of Occlumency. Just tossing that out there too. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I can show you whenever you like. I would actually like a printed resume with written refrences, signed and sealed in a proper manner. A hastily scribbled note does not count. I don't trust your word. ~~Bloody annoying git.~~ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

How about you show me at the DA meeting where we work on patronuses and sending messages through them, hmm?

And no, I won't be doing that. I had no problem with presenting my resume, I can see some value in that, but you see, we have enough interest in the DA - overwhelming, to be honest - with people who never needed to know my "qualifications." If you aren't satisfied, please don't come. I've had enough of your petty attempts at one upsmanship. A pity, since your behaviour during the first battle of Hog - oh wait.

You didn't stay.

Come, don't come. Reply to this with something witty or, more likely, another attempt to "get me." I'm not going to respond. I'm done, Smith.

We'll see you at the first meeting, if you can find a step ladder tall enough to get over yourself.

	Fine then I will. Excuse me for wanting to know more. I don't think it's too much to ask is it? Damn right I didn't stay. I had no part in the war and I wasn't about to put my neck out for people I don't know. I helped those who I care about and that is it. ~~Fucking bloody git.~~ (Reply to this)(Parent)
