The great hall, rebuilt, features the same table setup, fewer secret paths, and a few more scars. To the Veterans and the teachers, it represents the struggle they overcame to keep their school. To the students who were there at the time, it represents just how far they went to save their school. 5-6 years have passed.

DeVey, Xavier: Slytherin 2nd year Xavier looked around, thoughts on the impending DA meeting. The relative chatter and hustle that could usually be found was quiet, with students looking in textbooks or playing some wizards chess. A game was in fact just a few feet away from him; the pawns were all but taken, and the queen had been advancing to quite a few spaces now. His feather had been floating for a bit now, his spell book having been forgotten. "Will I need to float people in DA?"
(OOC: I'll look for Aimer's original colors later, for now here she is!)
"Um..where can we find something about where Dragon Lessons are held?" the likes of a nervous 6th year goes to ask, still wanting to prove that she was in it for the lessons and knowing that a presentation was going to be held for the general public before people wonder what else is going on.
The lass with a Dragon-branded Badge on her bag was already worried, looking at a 2nd year Slytherin playing Quidditch Chess 4 years her Junior,"I'm sorry, I have to go," as she was focusing on her studies before she began to worry about anything else.
'Where is Charlie Weasley when you need help to learn more about Dragons?I am letting Professor Hagrid down more by the minute,' as the lady then heard a comment somewhere,"Tristess Aimer, are you okay?Easy there you almost look like you were in your first two years," hearing some of the people already gathering somewhere and waiting for the presentations of the past to be held.

DeVey, Xavier: Slytherin 2nd year Looking up from his position, the feather dropped, his focus lost altogether. Eying the student speaking up, something about nervousness apparently. He grabbed a sheet of paper and scribbled last minute notes. "While I've not had the class yet, I believe Dragonology is located by Herbology. Third or fourth floor? I don't know who teaches it however. Perhaps the DADA teacher can give you some idea where. I'd personally ask the Groundskeeper, myself." Looking towards the now ending game, he sighed. Picking up the fallen feather, he put it in his textbook. Xavier would be heading to the DADA classroom himself,shortly, but he had to collect his notes. Turning to the older student, he asked, " Perhaps I'll see you in class sometime? Good luck on the search." Looking at his watch, he rolled his eyes. His history teacher wouldn't notice if he was a bit late.
You then see the Cameras begin to roll onward as two people were already taking filming on what was going on during the one Winter that happened when Umbridge was a DADA, while one of the OOTP members was vitally wounded and a Ravenclaw and a Hufflepuff were each ordered to take up a Strike Force under the orders of a Slytherin behind the backs of the Dumbledore's Army leaders.
"Remember, Nott requested to spare the young recruits among Tom Marvelo Riddle's lot, but any of the enemy recruiters and High-end Officers answering under Voldemort's Inner Circle are Fair game, okay Louis Arcus-Iris?" a tall man noted, appearing to be in his 4th year and using what looked like just a plain old Sword.
"Yeah yeah, don't remind me, I'm not a Royal Marine nor am I a Muggle United States Navy SEAL and if I have to imagine the enemy officers we have to hunt down and destroy to hold a Stronghold in Scotland, I at least want to make sure I can test this baby out and give it a try," the man named Louis goes to put out what appeared to be a sort of Blade hilt crafted from Moon Rocks and Runes, the most observant who possesses some kind of mystical Object that would present Mystical Sight of sorts might be able to realize that there is a Wand within the Blade Hilt of sorts, carefully crafted with care and precision.
"I know you seem to be pretty dang atrocious at making up your own dang mind in regards to Meredith Pensworth, one of the Queens of Slytherin who I'd believe would have been a High Queen of that House in another lifetime or set of alternate timelines, whichever came first to the point you'd throw yourself in harm's way by imitating that Philip John Clapp would be doing just so you can find a way to take some kind of 3rd option, but that doesn't mean you have to be stubborn about how you take Officer Jenkins' orders or that of Theodore Nott's, Louis," the man sighed in front of the glasses-wearing man named Louis, as Louis responds,"Hey, Johnny Knoxville has Style backed with Substance, he helped to remind me that when in doubt, always get yourself in a World of Pain and it'll make sense later, unless you got better ideas in mind Theaken, well do you!?"
"Let's just focus on the task before we fall behind Meredith and she starts proving how Great a Ruler she is, because after what happened with Cou, I mean Cedric Diggory the last thing I feel I can afford is to fall behind on doing the tasks set to me, Louis!" as the Tall man Theaken goes to rapidly go to look at the strike forces assembled, remembering to get their Disillusionment Charms in place lest they get spotted by the enemy forces, most of whom in the current area were rank amateurs led by someone trained personally by the Inner Circle.
*Filming was beginning as the Audiences everywhere begin to gather all over the place to watch the display*

DeVey, Xavier: Slytherin 2nd year A huge film suddenly came over onto the magical ceiling, chasing away the clouds and sky for a warzone that Xavier wasn't sure he was keen on hearing about. "How is it an authority figure hasn't stopped the recording yet? I don't think the head of the school would actually publicize the goings on outside of the school for the sake of the students." A nearby student suggested a prank, but the staff had a sizable number of house elves and wizards alike that should have been able to take this..monstrosity, off as soon as it caught their attention.
Evita Rose, Ravenclaw 2nd yr. Evita sat at the Hufflepuff's table, flipping carelessly through a textbook she'd grabbed at random. The school's policy on clubs had Evita interested in the social outlet she might have needed to gain a better view of the world around her. Admittedly jaded and shy, she was friendly and simply hadn't run into a nicer group of people. Books had been friendly then people, lacking the ability to bully her into submission.
This Army thing a few of her fellow Ravenclaws were talking about seemed like a good start. She could leave if she didn't feel welcome at all. The images that popped up startled her, but she wasn't sure how to take it.

'Don't tell me that someone already placed a vid during one of those fights I wasn't there for, again,' someone from the Auror Department was already arriving for what appeared to be the latest Reunion going on in the span of 5-6 years, if only he could recall how many years its been in exacts lately.
Only hearing that newcomers have arrived to the school as well as to note on those who weren't there during the fighting, The Auror goes to look at everyone else in the area, while awaiting when the Headmistress Mcgonnagal may arrive to check on everyone else.
'All those years of fighting and I haven't sharpened my welcoming too well, Hannah's not gonna be too happy about that back at the Leaky Cauldron,' the Auror sighed as he goes to await and prepare to greet the newcomers, all the while watching the movie that's showing up.

Charity timidly pushed open the door to the Great Hall and stepped into the darkness. Her eyes didn't adjust to the darkness at first and she almost thought she was in the wrong place before remembering that she had just come through the right door. She wasn't a first year- of course she knew where the Great Hall was.
As Charity's eyes adjusted to the darkness, she saw the flashes of colors on the walls and ceiling reminiscent of the cinema back home. When she looked around at the students already at their house tables, they all had their faces turned toward the other wall and Airy instinctively followed their gaze. The scene before her was gruesome and yet strangely nostalgic. She'd seen horror movies back at home. But this. She knew what this was. And that wasn't movie magic being displayed. It was real life- Those events had happened and the thought of it- being in the midst of that- made her stomach roll. Luckily she hadn't had much to eat for breakfast, so nothing actually came up. She swallowed her fear and turned her attention back at the video. This is what the DA is about and there's no need to sugar coat it- even for children.
Airy made her way carelessly to the Gryffindor table, paying more attention to the projection than where she was walking. At one point, her attention was so fixed on the gore on the screen that she'd forgotten to stop walking and walked straight into the hulking figure of a man in Auror robes standing near the House tables."Oh! Um-sorry. Excuse me!"

Um-sorry. Excuse me!"
The Auror was all too aware that he hasn't met this 2nd year student of Hogwarts before, noting with a whisper so the young student could listen to the movie,"I don't believe we met before now, tell me is the Headmistress of Hogwarts okay?" as the Auror goes to grab a bottle of butterbeer, recalling fully well that Mandrake roots could make for nice makeshift Sonic Grenades for any enemy forces that don't have their ears defended to filter out the excess in noises. 'Madame Pomfrey won't be too proud of that and to be honest neither am I, but since Harry's not here I may as well go check out how everyone else attending the reunion is doing,' the Auror thought to himself while awaiting when the Headmistress will reappear, all the while watching this movie popping in based on a True story that he recalled not being there for when it happened.
Looking around to see if anyone from his own 7 years at Hogwarts still remained in the School aside from the Staff, the Auror goes to shake his head a couple of times over,'Its as if its like yesterday when the Malfoys and the Greengrass family announced that Draco was gonna marry one of the Greengrass girls, all I know is that Luna's not here either nor is Seamus,' as the Auror continues to look around regardless.
'Is that Louie?' The Auror noted, still observing the tough clothing and the shades that were being worn by someone with the emblem of the Ravenclaw House at his clothing as one of the men in the movie along with what seemed to be an empty Sword hilt made from Moon Rocks, knowing dang well the kind of power that hilt held from personal experiences from the past.

DeVey, Xavier: Slytherin 2nd year Deciding to check out how everyone else was fairing, Xavier spotted two new faces that hadn't been there before. A student from the looks of the uniform, and a full grown adult who wasn't sporting the school robes. Taking note of the man's appearance, the Slytherin second year grew concerned that the video and the appearance of the visitor were in fact, related. Brewing success one experiment at a time.
Evita Rose, Ravenclaw 2nd yr. The Ravenclaw looked at the ray of light that suddenly appeared from the doorway, and saw a new face enter. It wasn't often students slipped in unexpectedly. The shadow was joined by taller individual, and Evita wasn't sure if she wanted to hang out in the Great Hall any longer. It seemed to trigger a number of events that were quickly killing her happy mood.

Adrian fixed his green and grey tie his eyes focused on his feet. Making sure his Half Winsor was perfect, he stood at the doors of the Great Hall and sighed quietly. His dark blue eyes scanned the ground below him as he checked for the shoes belonging to his brother, only to realize that other students had similar shoes. Checking out the surrounding area, Adrian greeted the few people he knew in his home language. Clicking the knuckles in his right hand, he headed back towards the common rooms. His brother had just come out and was heading towards him. When Adrian had his brother in his sights, he raised two fingers in greeting before going over to his brother’s side. “Brother, it is time we go to the great hall.” Adrian said in a low monotone as he took out his necklace and placed it on top of his tie to match his brother’s. Entering the hall, Adrian followed his elder brother towards the table of the Slytherins and sat down, taking almost no notice to the happenings around him.
DeVey, Xavier: Slytherin 2nd year Jostled chairs nearby alerted the darkhaired 2nd year to his own table. Spotting some older peers in his house, he wondered how they were fairing with this new development. He hadn't known them long enough to tell them easily apart in uniform, but demeaner was always a good start. Fairly good in potions, and always well informed about the Dark arts, he did sneak a few peaks at their homework when he'd hoped they weren't looking.
Taking a look at his watch again, he swore quietly and grabbed his things. He'd have to sort the events out later. Passing by, he quietly muttered to them, "Video started a bit ago. Didn't miss much more then what you're watching now." Heading out, the door closing behind him, Xavier headed towards the History classroom.

Luigi Ironside: HufflePuff , 1st year
Luigi had open the door to the great hall and walk right in after he had been sorted into HufflePuff, he notice that it was dark inside and a movie was playing. Luigi had no idea what this movie was about but he didn't know he miss that started of it, Luigi started looking for the HufflePuff table without making noise so nobody would look at him but because it was dark he place his right foot in the front of a table leg which made him trip and fall to the floor making enough noise so that everybody heard him. He sighed being that wasn't what he wanted to do but he made it to the HufflePuff table, once he sat down he watching the movie but was more focusing on it being here. He was too happy just being at Hogwarts but he didn't even know that his first class is going to be.
Evita Rose, Ravenclaw 2nd yr. Evita has business to attend to and was keen on keeping anyone from putting more on her plate. Grabbing her things, she carefully navigated her way from the Ravenclaw table, taking care to avoid nearly running into the two shadows. The flashing show on the screen was messing up her vision and she was seeing spots and wavy lines, but she managed to get a general outline of the newest audience for the movie.
Finally reaching the door, she'd turned around, and breathed a sigh of relief. There were way too many obstacles to run into now that she saw what she'd escaped from. Flitting out the door as it proceeded to close, she dashed out to attend her Herbology class.
