Y/N scrambled in the darkness, trying to find her friends while attempting to cast Lumos with her wand, but failing miserably.

"Good job, Draco..." she heard Bellatrix say, somewhere around the entrance of the Room of Requirements.

About a dozen footsteps rumbled the corridor as Death Eaters filed out from the room and followed Malfoy's lead out of the pitch-black corridor.

Y/N stood absolutely still and waited until the last footstep went inaudible, and when she was sure they were well gone, she called into the darkness,

"You all still in here?"

"Here," Said Ron and Neville's voice from her left, both sounded terrified but solid.

"I'm here," Said Ginny, not so far away behind her.

"Is anyone hurt?" Y/N asked, and they all mumbled a no. "Right, stay where you are until the darkness clears off."

It wasn't long before the darkness around them faded away, revealing the seventh floor corridor again.

Y/N looked at Ginny, Ron, and Neville and could see the same horrified look on their faces, which she probably had on too.

"What happens now?" Neville asked in a low voice, glancing at Y/N hesitantly.

They all knew what they were about to face.

Y/N tried to gather her thoughts, brainstorming loopholes, but deep down she knew the only right thing to do.

"We fight," she replied weakly.

It was the answer Ron, Ginny, and Neville had expected but was not prepared for.

"We should alert the professors," said Ginny, her voice shaking slightly. "and the Order. I'll go get-"

"No, Ginny, you stick with Neville and Y/N," Ron said fiercely. "I'll alert the professors. We don't know where the Death Eaters are heading to, it's best if you stay put- no, listen-"

"No, you listen!" Ginny roared, stepping forwards. Ron was so taken aback that he fell silent. "You're right- we can't waste any more time- we have to go after the Death Eaters- we have to go fight- now,"

"I agree," said Y/N. "If the professors don't know by now, it might be too late. Our best hope is ourselves. But I'll understand if any of you want to stay behind-"

"We're going to fight and we're going to fight together, Y/N," Neville said confidently, gripping his wand determinedly.

"Dumbledore's Army wasn't for nothing, was it?" said Ron.

"Yes, no one will stay behind," said Ginny.

"Alright," Y/N huffed, "We'll have to go right now-"

Her words were cut off by a loud and echoing crash from somewhere below them, followed by a horribly wicked cackle.

As if hell has broken loose, Y/N suddenly heard the sounds of shouts, spells, and scatters burst out from every direction.
