Harry Potter is credited with training and leading Dumbledore’s Army, or DA for short, in the war against the dark forces.  On the flip side, Ginny Weasley is credited with…what?

The Challenge is to write a story of Ginny training and leading a group of students in an organization or club, totally separate from the DA, to help fight against the dark forces.  Members can be in both organizations/clubs.

Some suggestions are: The organization/club…
