Chapter 99: D.A.D.A

The meeting for the new club was being held after classes and the house Head Snape will have to be present there for the club creation "Come in "Dumbledore said welcoming Edwin and Snape.

"What club would you like to create," Dumbledore asked Edwin Gesturing him to take a seat.

"Headmaster the club will be a place where everyone can come together and have fun with various activities like dueling" Edwin stated honestly as the four houses already does that.

"That sounds wonderful," Dumbledore said a bit of an upbeat voice "You will need starting members, Which I'm sure you have enough and location… since you have everything sorted let's go see it then"

"Headmaster you know about the four houses, "Edwin asked with many surprises and wondered why he never acted against it or even tried to get Edwin to confess.

"Is that the name of the club?" Dumbledore asked with a twinkle in his eyes but Edwin had a feeling that he was just playing stupid" Lead the way���

Edwin showed Dumbledore to the girl's second-floor bathroom which made him glance at Edwin with a weird look" the entrance is in here "Edwin stated showing Dumbledore the sink and used the badge to open it as he didn't want to hiss in front of Dumbledore.

Dumbledore didn't say anything thing about the entrance until he slides down the shoot "that's a fun entrance if I must say so".

Edwin continued showing Dumbledore around the chamber, as they walked past something interesting like the Basilisk Dumbledore would make some kind of a smart remark. The members who were at the chamber at that moment were more than a surprise to see Dumbledore there.

They tried to turn their faces or go behind someone to hide from him but unlike everyone else the twins tried to rope Dumbledore into buying something from their shop which he did after the twins pestered him.

"This is a wonderful place "Dumbledore stated after his complete tour of the chamber" every house is present and there is cooperation… I don't see no harm in this club being present in Hogwarts, but that being said somethings have to be changes"

"for one the location of the girl's bathroom, the entrance will remain the same but the bathroom will be located somewhere else, the Basilisk is it dead and what of its poison"

"It is dead and the poison was removed but there might still be some present in its body" Edwin stated leading Dumbledore to the Basilisk "do you need to check it Headmaster"

"No as long it stays frozen I don't think it will pose a problem," Dumbledore said adding another freezing charm over the Basilisk.

"about the missing projector from the Muggle study room," Dumbledore asked as he had been to see the theater.

"It will be returning when we have enough money to buy one "Edwin quickly replied even though he had enough money for some time but he simply forgot to buy a projector.

"I see…the movies being played will have to be restricted," Dumbledore said giving Edwin glance" and of course Professor Snape will be overseeing the Four houses'

"Thank you Headmaster "Edwin replied then give Dumbledore the names of the founder to be recorded and after their meeting, the four houses appear under all of the official clubs you can join in Hogwarts. But unlike the usual clubs, you have to gain a recommendation from a friend to enter.

With the four houses now an official club Umbridge could no longer shut it down without a good reason and Edwin wasn't planning on giving her any.

The next day Edwin and his friends went to D.A.D.A class with the Gryffindors as Ivan wanted to do a joint class so work can be easier on him, "Everyone takes a seat "Ivan said out loud not looking at Edwin who was wondering how his father would do.

"Most of you have learned how to challenge werewolves and vampire but what are the chances of running into them and even more unlikely what are the chances of running into a manticore," Ivan asked the class.

"It's very low but we should be prepared" Hermione answered.

"yes you're right Miss Granger "Ivan replied" D.A.D.A is to prepare you for the unexpected and unknown and I hope I will do a good job in preparing you"

"Preparing them for what Mr. Vaclav" Umbridge hissed entering the room" the ministry gave a new hand book out why are you not following it"

"Preparing them for the world they are already fifth years, two more and they'll be gone "Ivan replied a looking at Umbridge" and as for the Ministry guide book Dumbledore doesn't approve of it and neither do I "

"and if I can clearly remember it's the D.A.D.A teacher's job to teach them how to defend themselves and not how to run… maybe you can teach them that"

"We'll see how long you'll keep your position" Umbridge replied with a smirk.

But what she didn't expect that Ivan would do a good job, he made everything he taught sound clear and even used the Gryffindor and Slytherin rivalry in a point system he created to motivate the students. At the end of the year whichever house gets the most point would receive twenty house points.

"it appears you have done well," Umbridge said with a smile.

"Where are you going? "Ivan asked, Umbridge as she was walking towards the door" the class isn't finished"

"Oh it isn't," Umbridge said in surprise seeing another chance to get Ivan fired.

"of course not we still have a few minutes, "Ivan said with excitement" might as well give them an extra class and some advice"

"Harry and Edwin to the front, everyone gets up" Ivan shouted moving all the tables and chairs with magic, one of the tables had almost hit Umbridge on the way to the corner.

"Edwin wand, "Ivan said collecting Edwin wand" here what everyone would do, I shall take you wand and place it a few meters away from you and your task is to defeat your opponent"

Ivan placed Edwin wand by the door and left Harry with his wand," Begin" Ivan shouted and Harry didn't waste any time and attack Edwin head on with a knock-back jinx but Edwin had jumped out of the way and used accio to collect his wand.

"Expelliarmus" Edwin shouted and a scarlet light shouts out hitting Harry wand and sent it flying.

"Well done, Neville and Theodore next up… Don't worry everyone will have a turn "Ivan shouted and Neville was pushed to the front of the classroom.

"you cannot teach them this" Umbridge hissed looking at everyone who was excited" think of the children practicing such dangerous spell, they could get hurt"

"Aright, everyone uses this" Ivan replied give showing everyone Snape's modified stinging hex, Umbridge left the class stomping her foot as she walked seeing that the spell couldn't cause anyone harm.

Umbridge went back to her office with a smile on her face and she quickly took out a paper and quill to write a letter, with each stroke of the quill the ink would splatter making the words slightly untidy."oh dear"Umbridge said out loud and used a spell to fix the words to look tidier
