"He was never free" Harry said "when he drank the potion in the cave we found the locket in he was begging someone to hurt him and not "them". It's clear to me now that he meant you two when Grindelwald was hurting you both"

Aberforth didn't say anything

"We aren't giving up" I said to him "the order of the Phoenix isn't giving up and so we aren't either. We came to do our mission and we are getting into the school with or without your help"

Aberforth turned from us to the photo of his sister
"You know what to do" he said
She nodded and began walking away from our group

"Where did she go?" Harry asked

Not even a few seconds later we saw her portrait returning with another body

Neville

"I knew you lot would be coming back" he said excited and jumping down from the tunnel the photo exposed "you are going into the school aren't you?"

We nodded
"Great to see you Neville" I pulled him into a hug "you're hurt pretty bad though" I touched his cheek lightly with my hand

"This is nothing the Carrow siblings have done worse before, let's go" he said helping Hermione and I up to the tunnel "I'm so glad to see you all again is it true you broke into Gringotts?!"

I nodded my head

  "And Electra controlled a dragon to help us escape it was brilliant" Ron added

  "Wicked" Neville said smiling at us "how's Fred have you heard from him?"

I lost the smile I had on my face
   "Hes doing good"

Neville had a confused look on his face
   "Oh I bet you haven't been able to see him huh Electra I'm sorry for bringing him up"

  "It's ok" I said solemnly
Hermione was beside me and took my hand and held it tightly
She gave me a look like
It's going to be ok

I nodded to her and we continued our walk through the tunnel

I looked at my bare finger and wrist
My mind drifted off to Fred, I didn't give myself time to let what he said sink in but now with the silence of us walking I had time to reflect
He broke up with me
Or did I break up with him?
He threatened it...he's never done that before he's never gotten that mad at me
He just wanted to keep me safe...

  "The Carrows destroyed all the tunnels inside Hogwarts" Neville said bringing my mind back "so we made a new one leading to the Hog's head, the D.A has been keeping up with their studies just for a moment to come like this when you need our help" He said leading us through the tunnel

  "Neville you mentioned the Carrow siblings, I met them during an unfortunate time, I can't imagine having them here was easy"

He turned to me and pointed to his face
Black eye and beaten in jawline
  "They're in-charge of discipline, as you can see I fail to listen to the death eaters running the school so I spend a lot of time with those two"

  "I'm sorry to hear that" Hermione said

  "I'm not that's right you give them hell Neville" Ron said clapping his shoulder making Neville smile

  "I tried to fill in the hole you two left" he said to Harry and I "I tried to rally up students, the ones in the D.A before rejoined but a lot of the others were too afraid to stand up. Luna and Ginny were big parts of the army" I saw Harry tense up "but Luna was captured and then Ginny never returned after holiday break so it just left me to lead the group. They tried to go after one of the only people I publicly cared about, my grandma, but she put the death eater who tried her in the hospital and has been on the run since"

  "Go Grandma" I said "she sounds like a badass"

Neville laughed
  "You don't even know she's crazy, but after that they wanted to capture me like Luna, except I heard a rumor they wanted to kill me. So I've been hiding in the room of requirements ever since. Here is our exit" he said as we came up to another portrait
Harry pushed Hermione and I behind him
Ron joined Neville and Harry exiting the tunnel first
Then Hermione joined them and then finally I did

The tunnel ended in the room of requirements where there was at least 20 students from 3 houses laying around on makeshift beds

Banners of Gryffindor Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw were hanging around the walls and there was a fireplace to keep them warm at night in the back corner
A table was filled with food and drinks
the room had a way of taking care of us when we needed it the most

  "Harry! Electra! Ron! Hermione!" The crowd yelled out names and our friends all came up to us and hugged each one of us tightly

  "Heard you broke into Gringotts that's badass" Seamus said "thanks for rescuing Dean" he pulled Dean close into his side and kissed him "I owe you one"

Harry nodded his head and looked around at the crowd who formed around us
All the students who were in the D.A were here, they all must have been hiding in the room just like Neville was

  "What are you here looking for?" Neville asked now joining the group again

  "We can't say" I answered "but we need help finding an object"

  "Ok what does it look like?" Seamus asked

  "We don't know" Ron answered

  "Do you know what it could be?"

  "No idea" Harry said "I realize that's not a lot to go off of"

  "That's nothing to go off of" Dean said laughing

  "But it's very old, and it would be an object of great value we think it has something to do with Ravenclaw" Harry said

Luna came up to our group
  "If it's Ravenclaw I can help you find it" she said "I know Ravenclaw history better than anyone"

Harry nodded his head

  "It could be the lost diadem, it's a very old object" Luna said

  "But it's lost" Cho Chang answered "you'll never find it"

  "We will" she said confidently

  "Harry we will stay behind it's safer for less of us to go" Hermione said to Harry

  "Be safe" I said hugging both Luna and Harry
