"Tobi!" Melanie whined, getting attacked by the dog's tongue. "All right, all right, we're up." She grabbed the puppy.

"Woah, you got big."

((I am watching DH pt1, two minutes in and about to cry.))

Tobi nodded his big head.

"In a time of crisis, he's grows faster. He's not an ordinary dog." Damon answered, wiping his face on his sleeve. "I would know, I was there." 

((You haven't seen it yet?!? SHAME. I went to the premiere, bro.))

Hermione, Harry and Ron started to wake up, as Melanie looked at Damon. "What do you mean, 'there?'"

((I was scared, okay? I don't want to se my favorite chracters die. I am going to cry for days after part 2.))

"I went with him to pick out the dog." 

((...When Snape dies, the only thing I'll be thinking of is this roleplay. o___o I'll be like OMG NO MEL NEEEDS YOU!!!))

"Oh." Melanie said, petting Tobi. "You know, boy, you should've let that shoe hit Umbridge." She told the dog with a laugh.

((IKR. I'm yelling at my screen, telling Voldy to "LEAVE MY HUSBAND LUCIUS ALONE!!!" ))

Tobi shook his head, making Severus chuckle. "Damon, take them to your room, since it's only down the hall. Everyone, shower, change, etcetera. Then go to breakfast."

Severus growled again, glaring at the children. Damon chuckled, leading them out of the room.

((Remus just walked on screen, and there go my tears.)) 

((Aw. 8c))

Melanie grabbed Harry, Ron and Hermione and put her arms around their shoulders, closing them together. "I love you people."

"Yeah yeah, very touching." Damon said sarcastically. "Go." He opened the door to his room, scoping the corridors outside.

((Skip, your turn.)) 

"Shut up Damon." Melanie stuck her tongue out at him.

((Fien. Skipp~))

Melanie was the last to come out of the shower. "You guys wasted all the hot water," She complained jokingly, then said, "Let's go to breakfast."

((MY CREYS!!! HEDWIG!!!!))

Severus nodded. "Let's go." There was a formation- Tobi in front, Damon and Stefan took the sides of the group, and Severus in the back. No one was more important than these children. 

((D: DONT REMIND ME. I cried. So much. Just wait till...nevermind...Don't wanna spoil it. ;o))

Melanie rolled her eyes at the way they were formed. "Jesus, people, we're not the fu.ckin' President of the United States."

((Who, Dobby?))

"No, you're much more valuable." Damon said in a business-like tone. He joked aorund a lot, but he knew when to be serious. This was one of those times. 

((YESSS OMGGG D8))

"Not really," Melanie said with a shrug.

Severus shook his head, sighing as they entered the Great Hall. As they entered, Dumbledore stood, the Great Hall quieting.

"It has come to our attention that Voldemort is back." Dumbledore started, the whole table gasping. "No need to worry, you are all safe. But, as a nescessary precaution, volunteers over the age of seventeen are welcome to protect the students." He said, a book in his hand. Severus was the first one up to him.

"The swear in are only a promise to us all, and shall be given with your right hand down, left hand up."

Severus placed his right hand on the book, his Dark Mark movig onimously as he raised his right hand. "I swear in to protect Melanie Potter." He said, his eyes never leaving hers.

Damon was next, repeating the gestures, Dark Mark raised. "I swear to protect Melanie Potter."

Stefan stepped up next. "I swear to protect Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley."

Tobi ran up the table, placing his right paw on the book. He barked once, eliciting a chuckle from Dumbledore.

It was a surprise when Remus stood, his hand on the book. "I swear to protect Harry Potter."
