Yet another Harry

Chatterbox: Inkwell

Yet another Harry

Yet another Harry Potter RP!

I'm sorry, I know there are millions of RPs, I know there are tons of Harry Potter RPs- but I had this idea, and I really want to put it out there...

A Harry Potter RP.... while Harry's at school!

I know. Brilliant, right?

I just thought, well, we have lots of futuristic RPs, a Marauders RP.... so, maybe we could write an RP about Harry through a normal student at Hogwart's eyes!

Well? What do you think?

It can be any year- maybe we can vote on that- and you should already know all the professors, so...

Here's the sheet!

Next class, Defense Against The Dark Arts. I grab a seat next to Saphira. It was possibly the most dull class I have been to in my four years at Hogwarts. So not a great start to the fifth. Anyway, son the class is over and I'm on my way to Transfiguration. I love McGonagall. She's amazing. And I'm really good at Transfiguration, which helps. Today we're transfiguring mice into goblets. What fun!

Ok, I've got a question: How do I know when to post again? I'm kind of new to Cricket and am not quite sure how it works =)

Question- when exactly will we start DA? Because I feel like it starts kind of far into the book, but maybe I'm wrong. Because nothing really happens before then besides specific-to-the-mains drama, right? 
If we can decide on that, I'll probably post. Just not sure when the DA should come into play.
And I don't think my charrie will join DA. I feel like she'd be completely for it morally, but she'd be afraid of getting in trouble.

How about we start it right away, since nothing happens beforehand?

Can my other charrie also be on the DA? I think she would finally learn that you have to talk and speak up, it would be an interesting if she learns that she can't stay silent.

So you guys know how there's a Harry Potter picture book that came out? I got it, and it's amazing!!! My mom, sister, and I all love Harry Potter so we got it! It's actually the whole book with amazing, vivid, pictures. I love it and right now I'm reading it on the couch and Halloween's tomorrow! I don't even like candy, but I'm going trick or treating anyway.

Taika~

The first DA meeting is today! I'm so excited! So at first I was really curious when one of my friends asked me to go to the Hog's Head because I didn't even know we were allowed to go! Turns out it was Harry Potter's recruitment of wizards and witches for some army!! Yay! Let's stand against Umbridge and actually LEARN SOMETHING!

%%%%%

The DA is amazing! Harry seemed really surprised when I told him I can cast a "corporeal patronus" as Susan Bones put it! I don't think I'm ready to tell him I'm an animagus though. This should be great! We were just disarming, but I can sense improvement in the year coming on!

+++++

Hallia says yrak. You're a yak? Your rack? Hallia, make more sense!

I'm going to start my post with Tyler being at the Hog's Head and signing the DA sheet.

Tyler~

Well, here I am. My best friend, Mei, had asked me to come to the Hog's Head pub tonight. I had no idea why. The pub was towards the end of the Hogsmeade village. As I stepped inside, I noticed, that there was an ACTUAL hogs head mounted on the wall. I tried not to throw up. Walking toward the group of kids near the back wall, I spotted Mei waving at me. "Why am I here?" I hissed. "Harry potter is going to stand up to Umbridge! He's going to start his own defense against the Dark arts class! Listen!' I listened to Harry's speech about standing up to Umbridge, and learning real DADA, and stuff like that. It was kind of interesting. When he made a sign up sheet, I decided to join. Umbridge was sickly poilte in class, but we never learned anyhting in her class. If I learned something, that could be good, since Harry claims He-who-must-not-be-named Is back. It came my turn to sign the sheet. I wrote  my neatest signature, and walked out of the pub. The snow was falling hard. I ran to the three broomsticks. At least they didn't have a hogs head on thier wall...

Later that day, I hear the trio talking.

"They're in Slytherin?!"

"Let them join."

"They're in Slytherin?!?!"

"What if they betray us..."

I don't catch the rest. I know that Gryffindors hate Slytherins, but I feel a little hurt.

I stare at the parchment. It's merely a piece of paper. What could it do?
But it's not just a piece of paper. It's a piece of paper with the words Dumbledore's Army written across the top in spindly handwriting. It's a paper I'm supposed to sign.
I should sign it. I should stand up for myself, and for everyone else. I should. But I can't. I'm not Harry Potter. I'm not a hero. I'm just Violet, over here, invisible, like the girl from The Incredibles.  I can think about it all I want. But there's no way I'd ever be brave enough. 
Harry Potter and all the others are heroes enough. I mean, the world needs a middle group, doesn't it? Not everyone is a hero or a villain. Some don't march through life. They just quietly walk along, over on the side, quiet as mice. 
"I...I can't," I whisper quietly. I back up slowly, then dart out of the room.
As soon as I leave, I regret it. Maybe some do tiptoe through life quietly. But is that who I want to be? 
Well, maybe I won't join, but I'm not going to go kiss up to Umbridge. Ever. Maybe small steps lead to bravery. I'll be like them eventually. I'll just...take it slow. Maybe I'll be the one that creeps through life along the edges, then, at the last possible moment, jumps onto center stage. Is that even possible?
Is it possible to take it slow when it comes to the greatest battle of all?
