I'm sitting in the Room of Requirement with my siblings, Apollo, Glinda, and Lloyd. Fiona still hasn't faced the facts of what is going to happen. I wrap my arm around Marissa.

"You alright?" I ask. Marissa nods slightly. "You should head to bed soon."

The door that leads to the secret tunnel out of Hogwarts opens. Neville is standing there.

"Hey, listen up you lot! I brought you a surprise," Neville shouts.

"Not more of Aberforth's cooking I hope," Seamus remarks. "We'll be surprised if we can digest it."

Neville steps aside to reveal Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

Seamus stands up. "Blimey!"

Everyone starts to clap for Harry.

"Harry!"

Everyone surrounds Harry. Hugging him. And cheering for his return.

Neville leans over to whisper to Nigel, "Get the word out to Remus and the others, that Harry is back." Nigel takes off. "Okay, okay! Let's not kill him before You-Know-Who does."

I can hear Nigel speaking into the radio, "...Do you read? we've a new weather report. Lightning has struck. I repeat: Lightning has struck."

"What's the plan, Harry?" Neville questions.

"Okay. There's something we need to find. Something hidden here, in the castle. And it may help us to defeat You-Know-Who," Harry tells us.

"Alright, what is it?" Neville asks.

"We don't know," Harry states.

"Where is it?" Dean Thomas asks.

"We don't know that either. I realize that's not much to go on," Harry admits.

"That's nothing to go on," Briar counters.

"I think it has something to do with Ravenclaw. It'll be small, easily concealed. Anyone, any ideas?" Harry asks.

"Well, there's Rowena Ravenclaw's lost diadem," Luna offers.

"Oh, bloody hell. Here we go," Ron remarks.

"Lost diadem of Ravenclaw? Hasn't anyone heard of it? It's quite famous," Luna says.

"Yes. But, Luna, it's lost. For centuries now. There's isn't a person alive today who's seen it," Cho states.

"Excuse me, can someone tell me what bloody diadem is?" Ron asks.

"It's a sort of crown. You know, like a tiara," Cho explains.

Ginny comes rushing over. "Harry."

"Hi, there," Harry says.

"Six months she hasn't seen me and it's like I'm a frankie first-year. I'm only her brother," Ron remarks.

"She got lots of those, but she has got only one Harry," Seamus remarks.

"Shut up, Seamus," Ron tells him.

"What is it, Ginny?" Neville asks.

"Snape knows... he knows that Harry was spotted in Hogsmeade," Ginny tells us.

Apollo, Lloyd, Glinda, and I rush to find Fiona. If this is going to happen she needs to know. I spot her with a group of Slytherin students. I literally pull her away from them.

"What the hell are you doing?" Fiona asks.

"This is it Fiona. Tonight is the night that everything has been leading up to," Apollos tells her.
