Draco's POV-

We finally had a second to rest after breaking into Gringotts and riding a dragon out of the bank. Now after landing in the water, Harry found out that Voldemort was going to Hogwarts, for the last Horcrux.

Now as we stood in Aberforth's bar, where we waited for the painting of his sister to bring someone back to lead us into Hogwarts. Finally, the painting came back, and it swung open on its hinges, and Neville jumped out, grinning at us.

"I knew you'd come! I knew it, Harry!" He roared,

"Neville-what the-how-?" Harry stammered,

"Ron! Hermione! Draco! You're all here too!" He said.

"I knew you'd come! Kept telling Seamus it was a matter of time!"

"Neville, what's happened to your face?" I asked, noticing the bruises on his face. One eye was swollen shut.

"Oh, this, it's nothing. Wait till you see Seamus!" Neville said, waving it off. He told Abeforth that a few more people were coming before he lead us down the passageway.

Neville updated us on what has happened at Hogwarts this year, and that his grandmother had sent a death eater to St. Mungo's, before we finally arrived at Hogwarts, after all those stairs.

"HARRY!"

"It's Potter, it's POTTER!" They started yelling once Neville pushed open the door.

"What are we? Invisible?" I asked, grinning. Their faces lit up once they saw all of us. There were Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaws here, but no Slytherins. I was dying to see Blaise, Pansy, Daphne, and Theo, as I scanned through the crowds, but no one was there. The group was all hidden in the room of requirements that they seemed to have made a second dorm room.

"Draco! Hermione! Ron!" They said, finally spotting us.

"Okay! Okay! Calm down!" Neville yelled.

"Where are we?" Harry asked, not recognizing the room.

"Room of Requirement, of course! Surpassed itself, hasn't it? The Carrows were chasing me, and I knew I had just one chance for a hideout: I managed to get through the door and this is what I found! Well, it wasn't exactly like this when I arrived, it was a load smaller, there was only one hammock and just Gryffindor hangings, But it's expanded as more and more of the D.A. have arrived." Neville explained,

"And the Carrows can't get in?" I asked,

"No," Seamus Finnegan said. We couldn't recognize him until he spoke. He was so badly beat up. They explained how Neville had stumbled into this room and asked us about what we have been doing.

"You didn't break into Gringotts?" Ernie said,

"They did and the dragons true too!" Neville yelled,

"Yeah, all my ideas," I said, fixing my already messed up hair.

"Says the one that screamed we're gonna die when we rode the dragon!" Ron pointed out,

"Excuse me, I was about to fall. That's why, you little jackass," I retorted, as Harry turned away from them.

"Oh, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die!" I smacked Ron on the back of the head, rolling my eyes.

"Are you all right, Harry? Want to sit down? I expect you're tired, aren't—?" Neville asked, noticing Harry swaying slightly.

"No, we need to get going," Harry told us, our smiles vanished.

"What's the plan?" Seamus asked,

"Plan? Well, there's something we—Draco, Ron, Hermione, and I—need to do, and then we'll get out of here."

"What d'you mean, 'get out of here?" Neville asked,

"We haven't come back to stay. There's something important we need to do—"

"What is it?"

"I—I can't tell you."

After some more back and forth between us and Neville, some people opened the door. Luna and Neville came walking in.

"We got your message, Neville! Hello, you four, I thought you must be here!" Luna grinned.

"Dean!" Seamus yelled and ran over to hug him.

"Hi, everyone! Oh, it's great to be back!" Luna said happily.

"Luna, what are you doing here? How did you—?" I asked,

"I sent for her. I promised her and Ginny that if you turned up, I'd let them know. We all thought that if you came back, it would mean revolution. That we were going to overthrow Snape and the Carrows." Neville explained.

"Of course, that's what it means. Isn't it, Harry? We're going to fight them out of Hogwarts?" Luna asked.

"Listen, I'm sorry, but that's not what we came back for. There's something we've got to do, and then—"

"You're going to leave us in this mess?" demanded Michael Corner.

"No! What we're doing will benefit everyone in the end. It's all about trying to get rid of You-Know-Who- "I tried to explain,

"Then let us help! We want to be a part of it!" Neville yelled. He was growing angrier by the second. There was a loud noise before the door opened again. Ginny, Fred, George, and Lee came walking in.

"Aberforth's getting a bit annoyed. He wants a kip, and his bar's turned into a railway station." Fred said, raising his hands to stop all the greetings they had gotten. Then behind him was Cho Chang.

After Harry had finally given in and tried to explain that we needed, the Ravenclaws lost diadem without telling them its importance's.

"He's on the move. Listen, I know it's not much of a lead, but I'm going to go and look at this statue, at least find out what the diadem looks like. Wait for me here and keep, you know—the other one—safe," Cho stood up, but Ginny said rather quickly.

"No, Luna will take Harry, won't you, Luna?" Cho sat back down, looking rather disappointed.

"Oooh, yes, I'd like to," Luna stood up, and Harry nodded.

How do we get out?" Harry asked Neville.

"Over here." Neville leads Harry and Luna out.

"Wait," Ron said, as Harry walked out.

"What?" Hermione and I asked.

"We don't have the sword,"

"Yeah, we kind of noticed that Ron," I said confused, he glared at me.

"No you idiot, I mean what are we supposed to smash that die-a-thingy with if we don't have it? We have to go get the teeth, the venom." Ron explained. Hermione gasped.

"That's brilliant, Ron! Yes, let's go!" She said, staring at him with all the fondness she had.

"I think you two should go alone," I said, snapping them out of their trance.

"What why?" Ron asked,

"Because I should stay here and tell Harry where you've gone, and help the others with Neville. Also, you two seem like you need some alone time." I winked. They both rolled their eyes, turning slightly pink, but nodded, before walking out the same way Neville had shown Harry and Luna.

Soon, tons of people had crawled in. Even Percy Weasley came back, begging his family to forgive him when Harry finally arrived.

"Harry! Took you long enough!" I said,

"I was starting to get worried." Harry shook his head, looking around.

"Where are Ron and Hermione? We have to stick together." Harry huffed, rubbing his temple.

"They went to the chamber of secrets. Ron realized we didn't have anything to destroy it with, so they went. I thought it would be best to wait for you." I explained. Harry nodded.

"We had to go get them. Come on. They should have a bunch by now."
