A sharp sting awoke Othelia from a deep daydream. She snapped her head up, looking for the source. She slowly scanned the tables in front of her, wondering what it possibly could have been. Shrugging inwardly, she turned back to the piece of parchment in front of her. Settling into her essay, she spent several minutes crossing out words and scribbling notes.
Just about finished, she reached for her wand to take care of a few stray ink stains, but was frantic to see that it was no longer in her pocket. She bent down to check beneath her chair, and as she was groping blindly along the carpet she felt another sharp poke on the back of her neck. Shooting upright, she was startled to find someone standing directly in front of her.
"Looking for something?" The figure spoke innocently.

Albus walked around the library, pretending to be a ninja. He didn't know why, but he had read about them in muggle studies and decided that they were worth his time. He then saw the best victim. It was an unsuspecting Ravenclaw, intent on her homework.
He snuck up behind her and slid her wand out of her pocket and waiter for her to notice that it was gone before he poked her with it and spoke innocently, "Looking for something?" Albus smirked and sat in front of the girl. He wouldn't try to charm this one, she looked older than he was.

Othelia stared, shocked, at the boy in front of her. He looked just a bit younger than her, and he was holding her wand in his hand. Realising her mouth was wide open, she shut it with a snap. Gathering herself, she tried to think of something to say, but words evaded her.
Finally, in quite a calm voice, she said, "I'm sorry, but it seems that you have found my wand. If I could have it back-" But she was cut off when she noticed what the boy was doing with it.

Albus smiled and twirled the girls wand around his fingers waiting for her to talk.
"You should look after your wand better you know. It could... Fall into the wrong hands." Albus handed over her wand.
"I'm Albus Snape, Slytherin, third year. You know, Severus's second son. And you are?" Albus looked over the girl, trying to decide what he thought of her.

Othelia pocketed her wand and stared at the boy for a moment. Severus Snape's son? She wasn't sure if she should trust him...but then again, he had stolen her wand. She decided to proceed cautiously.
"Othelia Newsome. Fourth Year. Ravenclaw." she stated, watching him carefully. "May I ask what you were doing with my wand? I'm sure I had put it into my pocket..."

Albus shrugged, "I thought that it was obvious. I was mimicking... Nah, I was just twirling it. But anyways, what were you working on?"
Albus stretched his arms up keeping his hand around the wand to make sure it didn't fall. "I'm not just related to Snape though. I'm Harry's brother-in-law. And Professor Maddox's son." Albus snorted, "To many professors for my liking."

"Just a transfiguration essay. It's my favorite subject," Othelia said, leaning back in her chair, "and wow, that is quite a family. Are they very strict with you?" Othelia couldn't imagine having so many people watching you all the time.

Albus shrugged nonchalantly and put the wand next to the girls paper, "Transfiguration is interesting. My favorite is D.A.D.A., Harry always has something interesting planned out."
Albus stared down at his lap and contemplated for a moment, "It's really that i don't really get any privacy around here. And tons of people judge me because I'm Severus Snape's son. And I'm Harry Potter's brother in law. They all expect me to do something amazing, or horrid... And to top it all of Mum terrifies every one. I think it's because she's a dueling teacher, they expect her to randomly shoot spells at them. She wouldn't do that though, just make you run laps."

Othelia couldn't help but laugh at his last comment, though she knew it was probably true. She felt a sad pang of empathy for Albus, because she knew what it was like for people to expect things from her because of her family. She decided she liked this boy. He was actually quite kind.
"I know how you feel," she said softly. "My mum always expects me to get all O's, because she did, but I'm just not that good at everything. I imagine it must be worse for you, though."

Albus shrugged again and he looked at the girl, contemplating the next move in the conversation.
"Well, I could help you some. I know most of the curriculum in this school, I mean, I pretty much grew up here, moving from one teachers arms to the next. So, I know some of the things they don't really want to tell you, they want you to figure it out. Anyways, it's not to hard for me, because they don't expect me to excel at everything... They just expect me to try my best. And lately even that has dropped a little." Albus laughed dryly.

She smiled at his offer. Merlin knows she could use the help, and it was so easy to talk to him.
"That would be really excellent," she said warmly. "If you really wouldn't mind......I'm falling so behind in DADA. I just can't get the hang of these shield charms....."

Albus smiled, "Progreto, you mean? Well, for that one you have to visualize the shield as you say the word. And you can add personal touches into the shield. Harry would give you extra credit if you did that. And speaking of that, "Albus's voice dropped and he looked around quickly and leaned closer to Othelia, "I want to talk to you. It has something to do with Defense and the Ministry of Idio- I mean Magic."
Albus had made a spur of the moment decision to tell Othelia about his plan. His plan to make a group to practice spells to prepare, just in case the Ministy tried something really bad.

Thoughts of the shield charm flew from Othelia's mind as she contemplated what Albus might want to tell her. The Ministry of Magic? What could they do against them? They were so powerful....and with the half-blood and muggle-born registration, they were more powerful than ever. But.....she thought, if there was something.....And defense?
She had to hear this. "What is it?" she asked, looking closely at him. Whatever it was, she was in.

Albus smirked. He had gotten Othelia, hook, line, and sinker.
"Well, I believe that we need to start a group. A group that is training, training to hide better, know more, and be able to defend their-selves. If things keep on going the way they are, I believe that we are going to have to fight sooner than most would like. And, us kids need trained too. So, I figure that us kids need to know how to destroy trackers, and all of that other stuff. So, are you in?"

That was easy. Of course she would. How could she not? She had to do something to help. But, how could they? They were only kids, after all, and not particularly amazing ones at that. She could barely do a shield charm! And who would teach them? Train them for the inevitable rebellion? Still......she could not say no.
"I'm in. Who exactly is in this? What are we going to be doing? Who would be teaching us?"
