"And this Alberforth doesn't mind us using it to get supplies?" Ginny repeated as she stood around with her friend group, which had recently been added to with the Slytherin's.
"He said that we can use it as much as we want, as long as we give him a heads up with the portrait first" Neville nodded, pointing to the girl in the painting quickly, who had reappeared with them.
"This sounds like some kind of hope" Lacy smiles as she looks at the portrait, who returns the gesture. "The room has provided us with a way to contact the outside world, we can use this"
"For what? Hogsmeade is heavily guarded" Brooklyn pointed out as she crossed her arms, and that was when Lacy revealed her ultimate card.
"It's not so difficult if you know the Marauders ways" She grinned happily, gaining confused looks form the others. "Remus Lupin, James Potter, Sirius Black and Peter Petergrew were a friend group when they went to school together and they were the masters of Pranks, they made a map that could tell you where everyone was in Hogwarts" she described as quickly as she possibly could, "anyway, I don't have the map specifically, but I can remember all the secret passages and passwords that the Twins told Harry and I" she finishes off with a smile.
"The twins had a magic map and they never told anyone?" Ginny repeats, scoffing slightly. "That's ironic, masters of pranks unknowingly passed their map onto George and Fred"
"Yes, yes" Brooklyn waved the girl off, before she looked at Lacy with wide eyes. "Secret passages you say? Can any of them get us into the pranks shop, that might come in handy"
Lacy thought it over in her head quickly, "actually yes"
Lacy handed the potato's and beans that she had cooked out to all the different kids, she was on duty tonight for them alongside Blaise. They had all decided some shifts a few nights ago as they didn't like the idea of leaving the kids alone more than they had to during lessons.
Lacy and Blaise covered Friday's, just before the weekend.
"Careful Anna" Lacy warned the clumsy second year who always managed to get food all over her clothes, the girl smiled sheepishly as she placed the food onto the table beside her before she moved another chess piece, playing against Taylor who sat on the other side.
"It's nice to see that they're more happy now" Blaise muses as Lacy walks over to them, "I don't like that we can't do much to help them"
"We're doing the best we can and so are they" Lacy smiles gently at him, rubbing his arm softly to try and give him some hope and strength. "Not much that we can do, other than wait"
Unexpectedly, the portrait opened up, revealing Neville agitating, he had been the one to speak to Alberforth if necessary as the man seemed to like him better than anybody else.
"You guys, they have a radio" He spoke excitedly as he held up a muggle radio, "we have to turn the knob thingy and say the correct password and the twins are on the other end!"
"That's Arthur's creation" Lacy could recognise the handiwork anywhere, she grabbed the radio happily and glanced at Neville. "Whats the password?"
"Chocolate Frogs" Neville recites the one that Alberforth had informed him on, Lacy quickly turns to the radio and whispers the word as she turns the knob correctly, and soon the voices fill the room and ignite more hope for them all.
"Now for our PotterWatch special time, we have had recent news of Harry's sighting" Lacy let out an excited sob as she heard Fred's voice on the radio, and her hand went flying to grab Blaise's. "Do you want to tell them Georgy?"
"Sure do Freddy, Harry was recently sighted at the Malfoy Mannor, apparently he had escaped there with not only our brother Ron and their friend Hermione. But, with a goblin Griphook, Mr.Ollivander and Luna Lovegood!"
"Luna's safe" Lacy breathed out in relief, jumping up to Blaise and hugging him as she let out a happy cheer. "This is a win! We have to to tell Theo!"
