I take off after Harry, I catch up to him.

"Harry!" Ron calls and Harry turns around

"We we're thinking. Actually, Ron was thinking and it's bloody brilliant." Hermione starts

"Well, it's useless to find the Horcrux." Ron says

"What?" Harry asks in disbelieve

"If we can't destroy it." Hermione finishes

"I think I know where we can get basilisk fang" Ron states

Harry pulls out his map.

"Here take this so you can find me when you get back." He speaks

"Where are you going?" Hermione asks

"Ravenclaw common room." He says running up the stairs

"Wait Harry I'm coming with you!" I say catching up

I hear Luna calling for harry, but he doesn't slow down.

"Harry Potter you stop right now and listen to me!" Luna shouts quite loudly at Harry

Harry turns to face her.

"Don't you remember what Cho said about Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem?" Luna asks

"There's not a person alive who's seen it." She refreshes

Harry still looks lost.

"It's obvious, isn't it? We have to talk to someone who's dead." Luna helps him

"She spends her time in there. Good luck" she says leaving

"Thank you, Luna!" I shout

We walk into the empty hallway and come face to face with the ghost of Helena.

She looks sad and lonely.

"You're the grey lady" Harry says and I shove him

"I do not answer to that name." Helena says hurt about to leave

"Wait. Please, I'm sorry my brother can be insensitive without realizing it sometimes. I know your name is Helena. Helena Ravenclaw." I apologize

She stops and lingers listening.

"I'm sorry, you're Rowena's daughter." Harry says

"Are you a friend of Luna's?" Helena asks us

"Yes, she thought you may be able to help me." Harry says hopeful

"You seek my mother's diadem." Helena says

"Yes, that's right." Harry confirms

"Luna is kind, unlike so many others, but she is wrong. I cannot help you." Helena says fearful

"Wait Helena. Please we need to destroy it." I plead with her

"That's what you want too, isn't it, Helena?" Harry asks as she hesitates

"Another swore to destroy it many years ago..." She trails

"He lied to you, didn't he?" I ask

"He defiled it with dark magic!" She shouts angry

"I want it gone forever; I want to not live-in fear every day. I want to stop saying goodbye to people I love." I confess to her

"Please" Harry begs

"It's in a place where everything is hidden." She says floating away

Harry and I start sprinting to the other side of the castle.
