"Yeah, the D.A.'s good," said Ginny. "Only let's make it stand for Dumbledore's Army because that's the Ministry's worst fear, isn't it?"

Dumbledore's Army was founded by Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley in their fifth year due to the incompetent teaching of Dolores Jane Umbridge and the interference of the Ministry of Magic. They decided to take their Defense against the Dark Arts training to their own hands and actually use spells instead of reading about theories. They first met in the Hog's Head where they were overheard by Mundungus. They started using the Room of Requirement for the D.A. practices. They had to disassemble when Marietta Edgecombe turned traitor and reported D.A. to Umbridge. Nevertheless they (Harry, Hermione, Ron, Luna, Neville, and Ginny) went into battle in 1996 in the Battle of The Department of Mysteries. They suffered a few injuries (Ginny a broken leg, Ron seemed mental and was chocked by the brains, Neville broke his father's wand and was hit by the Cruciatus Curse, Hermione was severely injured by a death eater), but none were killed. Training sessions were not recalled during the next year, but was called forth to defend Hogwarts during the invasion in 1997, however only two members answered the call.

Abbott, Hannah
A Hufflepuff girl. Withdrawn from Hogwarts when her mother was killed.
