Chapter 198- a Hogsmeade Saturday (part 3)

FRED'S POV

"You should really just tell him what you want." Fred said to Luna after apparating back to Hogsmeade with George and her. "You know he is clueless about those sort of things."

Luna sighed, something she doesn't do much, which could show you how she much she were existed from the situation.

"I know, it's just... he is a brilliant wizard, why is he so oblivious about this."

"Nobody's perfect." His twin said. "Some people are stupid, some have no sense of humor and some are lazy. We help those without Hummer laugh, teachers help idiots learn and you need to help Harry with understanding human feelings."

"I know," Luna said rubbing her forehead "I just need to find the right time."

"Well, you have until Christmas, otherwise we take things to our own hands." Fred said with a maniacal smile and hands moving like a villain from a spy movie they saw with Harry.

Luna giggled at that.

"Yes sir."

"Now that we finished talking about Luna's love life we really need to go," George said "we are about to be late."

As they walked toward 'Hog's Head' Luna asked "What is this meeting even about?"

"We are not entirely sure." George said with a shrug "We were only time that it's about the state of the DADA lessons and that people from all houses will be there."

"Oh." Luna said as they reached 'Hog's Head'.

Getting in, they saw there were indeed many students.

He saw over 20 Gryffindor students, 18 Hufflepuff, 12 Ravenclaws, and if he counted correctly, not including Luna there were exactly 0 Slytherin.

Luna apparently noticed it as well as she said "People from all of the houses, ah?"

Both George and him rubbed their head embarrassed, they really didn't take in to consideration their little brother's hatred toward Slytherin.

"Oh, never mind that, we both know you don't care about houses." George said as Fred went to the bartender and said "could we have . . . twenty-five Butterbeers, please?"

The barman glared at him for a moment, then, throwing down his rag irritably as though he had been interrupted in something very important, he started passing up dusty Butterbeers from under the bar.

'Couldn't they do the meeting anywhere else?' Fred thought as he passed along the Butterbeers 'how many will get food poisoning from this drink?'

Getting a spot next to George, Luna and Lee, who also came to the meeting, they were about to talk to Luna more about her live life when Ron came.

"What is she doing here?" He demanded to know and Fred could see Luna falling back to her 'Dreamy Look' state which he knew meant she is defensive.

"What do you mean little brother? You told us it is a meeting for all houses to talk about the Defense classes, and Luna here wanted to talk about it too." Fred hoped Ron would back off, but knew he wouldn't.

"It is, but she's a Slytherin!" He said venomously.

"Wait" Luna said in her dreamy voice "You don't want me here because of me being in a house a magical talking hat chose fire me when I was 11 years old? Are you racist?" The twins couldn't help it, they laughed at the faces Hermione and the rest of the muggle-raised (muggleborns and half-bloods) twisted to shock as they processed that having an opinion on 1/4 of school is racist, Ron, on the other hand, didn't know the meaning of the word and continued "What is that? Another one of your make-belief creatures Loony? Not only are you evil but also crazy?"

Ron was on the floor after a second with a bleeding nose as George punched him.

"What the bloody Hell?" Marcus yelled "He is your brother!"

"Yes, and right now he is on the same level as the Death Eaters with how he talks." George yelled back and Fred had to agree with him.

"That's not true." Luna said with the same Dreamy voice "Death Eaters only hate peoplle for their blood status, that's racist. Your brother here hate me not only for my house, but for my beliefs, he is worse, he is Nazi."

Fred could see how that word affected everyone in the meeting.

Muggle raised knew about the horrors the Nazis caused, Wizard raised had their friends explain to them what Nazis are and paled when they heard about the number of deaths they caused outside of war.

But the one who seemed to have been affected the most was one of the Ravenclaws from Ron's year, Goldstein was his name if Fred was not mistaken.

The boy's face became pale as white before becoming red, getting to Ron and picking him up.

"If you ever act as if she is evil because of her believes or house..." he took a big breath as he continued "I will beat you up till you are half dead!"

Almost everyone took a step back at those words as Goldstein continued "but don't worry, I would do the same for any Death Eater, racist scumbag!"

"Everyone calm down!" Hermione shouted, and then waited for everyone to shut up. "Now, I'm sure Ronald is sorry for acting like a jerk, and we would love for Lovegood to join us at our meeting. Now, can we begin?"

With a few nods she gave the floor to Marcus who started talking.

AN HOUR LATER

"Remind me why we decided to join this 'Dumbledore Army'?" Luna asked as they went back to the castle.

"Because learning to defend yourself better is always an advantage." Fred said

"But Harry could teach us the same." Luna insisted.

"Not really," George said "he taught us the basics of wandless magic and to create a patronus, but he isn't really a fighter."

"He was in the tournament last year too." Luna insisted.

"Yes, but he used his mind to beat the tasks, not his fighting, we are doing it to learn how to fight." Fred said.

"But if he wasn't forced to give up the competition he would have probably won!"

"Yes, once more it isn't the point, we need to learn how to fight! With our Wand!" George said "Not to mention it would do you good some time without him."

"I guess you are right." Luna said "plus, what's the worse that could happen?"
