(Permission for Paige to speak for Harry Potter) Enough was enough, and Grimp knew the time was more than right for very special action to be taken. The Potters and Weasleys had been attacked, which Lily Potter, Harry's own daughter being the latest victim, though fortunately her cousin Thomas intervened. Still, a student, albeit an evil one, was killed in the process. The Order could only do so much. The Ministry could only do so much. The staff at Hogwarts could only do so much. It was time to take action and bring back a force that would watched Hogwarts while the Order took care of things in London. The force was of course Dumbledore's Army, brought back last year by James Potter. However, the army needed a new leader with James gone. And Grimp felt there was no one better for the job than the Potter who ended up in Slytherin. Grimp was perhaps a little bias, being Head of that House and all, but he also picked Albus because he felt the young man had an edge that was greatly needed for this plan. Grimp had sneaked a note to Albus during a recent inspection of Slytherin House to meet him alone in the Shrieking Shack. He imagined the boy would be puzzled, but all would be explained... and quickly. ALBUS SEVERUS POTTER

so albus had no idea what was waiting for him in the shrieking shak. but something in his gut told him to go to this meeting that had been set up by his head of house. the note calling him there clutched in his hand as he slipped down the secret passage while trying to avoid the branches of the whomping willow. brushing the dust off his shirt albus walked along the path, his eyes looking at everything he passed and hoped this was going in the right direction. sure enough soon he was opening a trap door that led into the ramshackle house. frowning as he closed the door he looked up and around. "professor?" albus said, knowing the sound would echo through the empty house. he pulled his wand from his pocket and glanced around, it's not like they were exactly in safe hands, he didn't know what was going to come around the corner. @grimp

Grimp lit a match to reveal his face in the darkness of the old shack. He had lit the match in order to smoke the old pipe in his mouth. He then limped over and seated himself. "Glad you could come Herr Potter," he said. "It seems your family has been through a lot as of late, ja? This new enemy has attacked them in London, and now they have done the same here in Hogsmeade... beginning with your sister. Fraulein Potter is alright of course, but in the process a student has been killed. Poor Fraulein Yen... her mind warped by this Dark lady's wickedness. There are others in the school who have been manipulated as well. This I am sure of."
He then gave Albus a dark, serious look. "Hogwarts is in grave danger, Herr Potter, and the Ministry can only do so much to protect it," he said. "The school needs you, Herr Potter, to do that which your father and brother has done. You are to lead Dumbledore's Army, my boy." Grimp's voice was not that of a request or asking some favor. His voice told Potter that it was something the boy HAD to do. Otherwise, things would only get worse. ALBUS SEVERUS POTTER

albus flickered his eyes to the sudden light in the room and he shifted back a step as grimps face came into view. he couldn't help but have a feeling he wasn't going to like the outcome of this chat of theirs. he pulled out his wand and shot some sparks into the old broken fireplace in the room. he was starting to feel chilled and walked closer to the fire as he listened to grimp talk. "Glad you could come Herr Potter," "It seems your family has been through a lot as of late, ja? This new enemy has attacked them in London, and now they have done the same here in Hogsmeade... beginning with your sister. Fraulein Potter is alright of course, but in the process a student has been killed. Poor Fraulein Yen... her mind warped by this Dark lady's wickedness. There are others in the school who have been manipulated as well. This I am sure of." as he listened he had to agree, bus his family was alright. james was a live and kicking, tom had been there to save lily and he was glad of that but he still wasn't sure what this had to do with him.
"yen made her own bed and was forced to lay in it, all the students that are following the same path will have to lay in the beds their making too. what's this got to do with me?" he frowned slightly when he saw the look he was getting and he matched it with his own dark curious look. he was at odds to work out how the professor thought albus was involved in any of this, but he knew he'd find out the truth soon so he'd keep his mouth shut. "Hogwarts is in grave danger, Herr Potter, and the Ministry can only do so much to protect it," "The school needs you, Herr Potter, to do that which your father and brother has done. You are to lead Dumbledore's Army, my boy." albus blinked and shook his head a little. "i'm sorry you want me to what?" albus shook his head and looked back at grimp. "as far as i know there has never been someone in my house in the army, their not going to take this well. can you honestly see gryffindors taking any thing i say seriously?" he frowned and shook his head. "there has to be someone else who can do it." he wasn't his brother or his father. this was the thing he was trying to avoid. being caught up in their shadows again. @grimp

Albus had an edge and Grimp liked that. He liked that Albus wasn't immediately like "sure, I'll do it!" This would make him all the more capable when Grimp finally convinced him because he knew Albus wouldn't cut corners with those he mentored. "Oh, perhaps there is someone else who could do it, Ja?" he said. "Your sister, one of your cousins perhaps... Molly or Hugo maybe... but none of them are you, my boy. None of them have that edge, that cunning that made you the only one of your siblings that was sorted into Slytherin. And true, some may not want to listen to you at first. Some weren't willing to listen to your father either. They didn't trust him because they believed him mad for claiming Voldemort had returned. He had to convince them otherwise."Grimp then stared coldly as Albus. "Herr Potter, no doubt you've spent your life being known by many as the son of the great Harry Potter," he said. "Sometimes that bothers you, Ja? Living in his shadow. It's time for you to become your own person, to be a leader yourself. Or would you rather be known as the boy who stood back and watched Hogwarts go to hell! Hmm? You have been given a chance today to create your own legacy! And if you are so damn determined to toss it away, then get out of sight now! I'll be happy to place this burden on your sister!"Grimp wasn't trying to give up on Albus whatsoever. He was trying to light a fire in Albus. ALBUS SEVERUS POTTER

Some weren't willing to listen to your father either. They didn't trust him because they believed him mad for claiming Voldemort had returned. He had to convince them otherwise." albus frowned and shook his head a little. there probably wasn't anyone old enough in his family to take it on. honestly he didn't think he should do it either, there was hardly anyway hugo or molly could do it. "hugo is too emotionally unstable, molly you can't put in that sort of danger. that edge? the edge you seem to think is do great put me on the outside of my family so it's hard to imagine any of the people who think my family are great accepting me as the army's mentor or teacher or whatever the hell it is you want me to be" he shook his head and looked at grimp. "do you know how many people are going to think that i'm using this to the black army's advantage? training them up from the inside to fight against the order? it's bullshit but they'll think that"
he ran his hand through his hair and frowned a little. "Herr Potter, no doubt you've spent your life being known by many as the son of the great Harry Potter," albus scoffed just a little and shook his head. "he's not that great" he mumbled but didn't think it was loud enough for grimp to hear. his father had faults, it was just hard for the magical public to see them. "Sometimes that bothers you, Ja? Living in his shadow. It's time for you to become your own person, to be a leader yourself. Or would you rather be known as the boy who stood back and watched Hogwarts go to hell! Hmm? You have been given a chance today to create your own legacy! And if you are so damn determined to toss it away, then get out of sight now! I'll be happy to place this burden on your sister!" he listened and frowned a little, shaking his head as if in denial. "it's not his shadow i'm dying to get out from under! it's my brothers and running the DA won't change that. winning the tournament? that might. i don't even know if i'd be able to balance the two things and school" he said as he ran his hand through his hair, half talking over grimp. "don't try and sway me by using my sister. don't you dare try and make me do this by bringing my family into it. i know what your doing and if you have any hope of me taking over the DA quit it." he said with a frown, not liking being forced toward a corner he didn't have any chance out of.

Grimp saw it in Albus. That fire. The fire those who were trying to save the wizarding world from this new evil needed. Albus was rebellious, he was second guessing himself, but Grimp saw a leader in him. It had nothing to do with him being in Slytherin or being Potter's son. Albus Potter was meant for great things... Which was why Grimp was not going to ask him again. He couldn't bring what Albus had in him out. He had to allow Albus to do it, to think on it. Grimp turned his back to him. "Well then, Herr Potter," he said. "It seems I was wrong about you. Go now. Go win your tournament. May that help live with your fears of rejection and your disdain for your brother. I'll find another to lead. From what I've learned speaking to you today, there are indeed far better candidates for this task. I will say I admire your courage to say no to me... now go say it to your father. He was the one who told me to speak to you. He's the one who believed you were the one to lead. "
He turned his head to look at Albus. "Well then... I suppose you remember how you came in, ja?" he said. "The same way is just as useful for an exit."ALBUS SEVERUS POTTER

he frowned and shook his head a little when grimp turned his back on him and spoke. "yeah sorry to dissapoint, but most people usually are wrong about me" he spoke, unable to hide the fire in his voice and he folded his arms and shook his head while he listened. "your not listening are you, there is hardly anyone in the order that would listen to me! so what in merlin's name is the point." he spoke, not liking where this conversation was heading but feeling like he had no choice and no way to stop it. "call james, he did it once he can come back and do it again if it's that important" he shook his head, running his hand through his hair and looked at grimp. "i have no problem saying no to my father. i've been doing it all my life. and i highly doubt he thought i'd be the perfect person to lead the army, doesn't that honor usually go to someone in alma mater?" keeping his arms folded albus shook his head and moved to the door before something, and he had no idea what it was tugged at him to stop. he didn't turn around, he kept his gaze down to the trap door that lead back to hogwarts and he thought for a moment. the thoughts weren't anything he could make sense of so he gave up on them and shrugged his shoulders. "if i take you up on this. you find someone that won't break at the sight of trouble to take over from me when i graduate, okay?" he said as he looked back over his shoulder at grimp. "but don't say i didn't warn you, the members might not even want anything to do with the army once they find out i'm in charge of it" @grimp

Grimp listened as Albus went on and one with his pity party. He said nothing and let the boy get it out of his system. Grimp kept true to his word. If Albus walked away, then he would simply find someone else. There were a number of members in the Order of the Phoenix and all of them had good candidates for who could lead Dumbledore's Army. Grimp had his own, but he was respecting Harry Potter's wishes. Grimp then sneaked a small smile when Albus stopped and seemed to wish to take the job as well, given Grimp would make a bargain with him. "I'm quite sure we will find a suitable replacement, Herr Potter," he said, showing no outward excitement that Albus had changed his mind. He wasn't that excited inward either, but Albus agreeing did make things easier and time was running out. Grimp then stepped in front of Albus when he spoke of warning him about the members reacting to him being leader. "You convince them you are a good leader," he said. "And they will follow you. Good day, Herr Potter." He then turned and exited the shack. ALBUS SEVERUS POTTER
