The Malfoy Affair (A Draco Malfoy x OC Fanfiction)

Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Diadem

Previously.....

"But you won't find anything where you're going. You're wasting your time." She told uu and I stopped, grabbing my brother's shirt so he would stop and I looked at her.

"What do you mean, Luna? Do you know where the Diadem is?" I asked her.

"No but don't you remember what Cho said about Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem: 'There's not a person alive who's seen it.'" She told us and Harry and I looked at each other, confused. "It's obvious, isn't it? We have to talk to someone who's dead." Then we look up seeing the shield. "He's very impressive, isn't he?" Then both Harry and I's scars begin to wince.

"They never learn. Such a pity." Voldemort said, regarding Hogwarts with pity as the faithful take their positions. Then smiling, amused, eyes gleaming, "Begin." Bellatrix raises her arm to signal the Army of Death Eaters, ready and waiting.

"But, my Lord, shouldn't we wait-" Thicknesse said before being cut off by a glare from Voldemort. Then Bellatrix dropped her arm.

I woke to an explosion sound, and I looked to my brother. There were spells cast at the shield, the shield was holding for now. Fred and George bursted out of the castle, "Nice night for it!" I heard Fred yell. Then we turn to Luna.

"Okay, Luna. Who've you got in mind?" Harry asked.

Luna took us to the Grey Lady corridor and stopped before entering. "If you're to find her, you'll find her down there." Luna pointed down the corridor.

"Aren't you coming?" Harry questioned.

"No. I think it's best if only one of you goes. She's very shy." Luna informed us. I looked to my brother.

"I'll go." My brother insisted.

"Go for it." I shrugged.

Now.............

I waited for my brother to get done talking to the Grey Lady, he came running out and I immediately followed him. "Where is it Harry?" I asked as we ran.

"The Room of Requirement." He informed me. When we came to a marble staircase we were met with Neville and Ginny as we fought off a Death Eater that made its way inside the castle since the barrier fell.

"Never better! Feel like I could spit fire! Haven't seen Luna, have you?" Neville asked.

"Luna?" I wondered.

"I'm mad for her! Think it's about time I told her, seeing as there's a pretty good chance we'll both be dead by dawn!" He told us. Then the three of us watch him dash off. Ginny looks at my brother.

"I know." Ginny said before running off and then so did we. We ran down the corridor, explosions detonated, one after each other, showering us in glass, yet neither of us breaks stride.

We swiftly enter the Room of Requirement, wincing at the sudden pain from the scars that acted as a beacon, telling us we were getting closer to the Horcrux. The feeling got louder and louder as we got closer but then it just... stopped. So we stopped and looked at each other then our eyes found the dusty canister, but it wasn't what was in it, it was what was behind it. I moved the dusty, old canister and there it was sitting on a bust of an old warlock. I reached out to grab it but was stopped by a voice.

"Well, well, what brings the Potter twins to the Room of Requirement?" Pansy asked with a smirk, Blaise and Goyle behind her, wands in hand. Blasie was holding a wand on me and Harry.

"I could ask you the same." Harry commented.

"I virtually lived here last year. Remember?" She rolled her eyes.
