Jack watched. Everyone had returned, it seemed, though Samuel was not here. She made a note to ask him about it when she next saw him. And Lily Potter had shown up. Jack nodded at her to greet her and then met everyone else's eyes to acknowledge that she saw them and was glad to see them, otherwise she was not much for pleasantries.
They were quick to begin discussing, and Jack was glad to see that Lucy was reading a newspaper. Someone had the intelligence to follow the news. Jack had been pouring over the paper to ensure she knew what was going on. Jack listened to them all discuss what they thought they should have work on now. Jack also had some questions to answer. They all settled and she cleared her throats.
"Hey, guys," she began. No need for formalities. There were six of them. She sighed and answered Miseria. "Potter's Army is dangerous to be in. There are Death Eater teachers. Some of the old members are more worried about their education, some have parents that forbid them, some are too scared, too busy, or really just don't care. It happens." She sighed. It particularly hurt her that Andrew had stop coming.
"And the Order is up and running." She knew this from Elliot who had been able to mention to her that he had joined the Order. "They are not telling us anything though. I'm working on it. I want us to be working with the Order. But, obviously, they don't care enough to let us know what is going on. So for now, we're on our own." It had been something that had been frustrating her. She planned to fix it though.
She leaned over and picked up the newspaper Lucy had set down and held it up. "Felix Barker. There are people like him we need to defend ourselves against. Lucy brought up the Confundus charm and has an excellent point. That's a great charm. We're actually going to start with that." She looked at Lucy and nodded her thank you, setting the newspaper down. "Thanks, Lucy." She looked back up at them.
"Imagine you are facing a dangerous foe. Most jinxes only temporarily distract them. The Confundus charm causes confusion, it can give you time to get away. So I want you to pair up and take turns. Cast the spell with the incantation Confundo. If it works, say Finite and they should recover. If something goes wrong, let me know. Hurry and get in pairs. Someone will be with me for awhile."
