Remus was slightly bumped that the shrieking shack was out of the question. However, the Room of Requirements was a brilliant idea. Everything about the room was perfect for what they were about to do. He got out a pen and a piece of parchment. He placed it on the coffee table and stood up.

“Let’s start training tomorrow. We’ll keep this discreet. No one should find out about this, especially the Slytherins. This army has to be united. Its best we know each other well enough and keep count. Before leaving, please sign off your name on this parchment.” Remus was exuberant and the adrenaline rush through his veins made him rattle on and on about how they all had to behave as a team.

As soon as he was done sharing his piece of mind with the army, he sat back down with his eye glued to the parchment. He then exchanged glances with a few of the members and smiled.

Lily let out a small smile in Remus’ direction when he started rambling about teamwork and unity and whatever else it was he was saying. No one seemed to be really paying him much mind. Remus had the tendency to go on about things, though, and Lily was pretty much used to it. Sometimes she thought that doing that made things easier for him because it gave him a chance to let loose- after all, most of the time, he was hardly the kind of person to take a break and relax.

Everyone’s enthusiasm toward the idea of forming a group to help protect themselves was heartening, and Lily was glad that there were even a few purebloods who had okay-ed the idea. She was surprised that they would want to get involved when they could easily avoid having to, but was happy that they had chosen to help. The more people in it the better- after all, Marlene wouldn’t be able to teach everyone to duel on her own.

She still had some questions, though, about this Room of Requirement that she had honestly heard nothing of prior to it being mentioned earlier. “Hold on,” she said, as people began coming forth to sign the sheet of parchment Remus was holding out. “Where exactly is this Room?”
