Two weeks later, Harry decides to teach Ron and Hermione Defence Against the Dark Arts. They want to meet pupils in the Hog’s Head in Hogsmeade, who are also interested in learning from Harry. A lot of pupils show up. Hermione explains that they have to defend themselves, because Voldemort is back. Zacharias wants to know why Hermione is so sure about that, but Harry states that he isn’t there to tell them what had happened to Cedric and that they either believe him or leave. Nobody leaves and they decide that Harry will inform them of the next meeting. Hermione hands a parchment around, on which they all sign and promise not to tell anybody of their intention. When everybody is gone, Hermione lets slip that Ginny is dating Michael Corner, which doesn’t suit Ron at all.
