Peppermint

Ravenclaw are the smartest.

I allow my eyes to adjust from stepping out of the bright tunnel into Hogwarts and a room full of cheering Gryfinndorks.

I stand awkwardly watching Harry Hermione and Ron hug everyone and this makes me smile at the thought of how a am a Slytherin and how this stupid rivalry used to be the biggest of my problems that and trying to make Draco's life a living hell. Or throwing food and Blaise with Emily at dinner in the great hall such distant memories.

"Harry!" I hear a high pitch yell as I see Ginny appear from the crowd. "Snape knows he knows you've been spotted in hogsmaid" They share an awkward stare and I can't help but laugh at how Harry sucks with girls.

"Well hello to you too it's okay it's not like I'm your brother you haven't seen in 8 months," Ron says causing both me and Hermione to slap the back of his head.

"We have to find something, it's something small and in the castle, I think it has something to do with Ravenclaw," Harry says grabbing everyone's attention.

"The lost diadem perhaps," Luna says in a small sweet voice.

"Luna it's lost no one has seen that in forever," A black-haired girl said as I watched Harry's eyes light up, of course, that's it.

"what the bloody hell is a diadem," Ron says confused like I said he is slow.

"A crown," Hermione says in a duh tone which causes me to laugh.

"We must hurry Snape as called all of us to the Hall hurry to put these on," A dark-haired boy says shoving Gryffindor robs into our hands and I can't help the barfing sound escape my lips as I slid it over my arms causing a few glares.

"not my fault green is more my color" I mutter shielding my head down behind the other students while slowly walking into the great hall, the great hall is dark with no magic in its walls or the bright candles in the air just dark.

The houses are set into rows separated from each other I let my eyes wander to Slytherin seeing Emily and Blaise standing next to each other, thank goodness they're okay.

I hear Snape's cold voice beam through the room as I take a nervous look at Harry he meets my eyes and grabs onto my hand for comfort.

"Many of you are surely wondering why I have summoned you at this hour. It's come to my attention that earlier this evening Harry Potter was sighted in Hogsmeade. Now... should anyone, student or staff, attempt to aid Mr. Potter, they will be punished in a manner consistent with the severity of their transgression. Furthermore, any person found to have knowledge of these events, who fails to come forward, will be treated as equally guilty. No one?" I feel my blood boil as he calls anyone guilty but himself.

Before I knew it Harry let go of my hand walking into the middle of the room causing gasps.

"It seems despite your exhaustive defensive strategies we still have a bit of a security problem Headmaster,"  Harry said as the door to the great hall flag open revealing multiple Aurors and Friends with their wands up causing my own self to gasp when Snape raised his wand at Harry shooting a curse at him but I quickly jumped in the way blocking it causing even more gasps.

"How dare you, How dare you stood where he stood, go ahead tell them what happened to tell them how you betrayed your friend, how you killed him!" I yelled raising my wand at Snape who looked at me with shocked wide eyes not having a word to say as he quickly flew away in a dark cloud.

"Coward" I yell.

Another curse is thrown at me but ms.McGonagall jumps in the way blocking it knocking both of the death eaters out cold as everyone erupts into cheers as she relights the Great hall bringing it back to life.

I am instantly enveloped in a tight hug from Emily and even Blaise.

"We thought you were dead!" Emily says hugging me again.

"Draco drove us mad he wouldn't shut up about you," Blaise said chuckling and patting my back. I felt a small pit of joy until it was replaced by my high pitch scream.

I feel Harry run by my side grabbing my arm looking at me with worried eyes, we both know this isn't over.

"Give me Harry Potter do this and none shall be harmed And I shall leave Hogwarts untouched give me Harry Potter and you will be rewarded you have one-hour" Voldimorts cold voice scratched through everyone's ears until everything was silent.

"what are you waiting for? someone grab him!" I heard an all too familiar voice yell as people backed away from Harry but I quickly stepped in front of him raising my wand to none other than the Pansy Pugface.

"Go away Parkinson" I finally say ripping the Gryfinndore robes off me throwing them to the floor causing some students to laugh.

"Student out of bed student in the hall!" flinch said running in.

"there supposed to be out of bed you idiot" McGonagall yelled.

"oh," he said. But my eyes were still focused on Pansy as she scowled at me.

"May you Mr Flinch escort miss Parkinson and the rest of Slytherin down to the dungeons please?" She said pushing my wand down away from Pansy.

Everyone starts cheering and I was quickly enveloped in a hug by Emily

"Go and stay safe okay" I whisper to her

"you too, I will see you after this is all over we both will," She says looking over at Blaise.

"If you see Draco before I do Blaise and I don't make it out of this I need you to tell him something for me," I said rushing up to whisper into his ear.

After I was done whispering he nodded his head and rushed off to catch up with Emily.

I feel my arm grabbed by Harry as he pulls me up the stairs.

"Harry where are we going?"

"Ravenclaw common room I thought it was the best place to start well Hermonie and Ron went to get something to destroy the Horcruxes when we find it" He yells over the commotion of all the students.

"Harry!!" I look over my shoulder to see Luna yelling and Harry ignoring.

"Harry Potter YOU LISTEN TO ME RIGHT NOW" this causes us both to stop in our tracks I've never once heard luna raise her voice.

"Don't you get it you won't find anything in the commons room it has been lost forever long before our time, we have to speak to someone who is dead" I pulled onto Harrys Hand following Luna

"I mean Ravenclaws are the smartest" I whisper following her down the stairs into a courtyard.

"only harry should go she's easily frightened" I nodded my head.

"have fun with the ghost," I say shutting the door and turning to luna.

I look at her bright smile which doesn't surprise me cause she is always smiling even in a time like this. I Haven't really spoken to her in my time at Hogwarts only hellos and goodbyes but I always am sure to defend her when anyone made fun of her.

"You know you make the Nargles go away in Draco's head when he speaks to you," she said suddenly which caused me to crack a small smile.

Our gaze went to the window as we watched the protective spell surround the Castile. "impressive isn't it" Luna said as I shook my head.

The door slammed open revealing Harry.

"It's in the room of Requirement" I feel my stomach twist as I facepalm my head and harry grabs my arm pulling me with him to the 7th floor. Great.
