(Y/n) saw a mass of bushy brown hair as Hermione pulled him into a tight hug, wrapping her arms around him tightly.

"I missed you too Mione." (Y/n) told her after they broke apart, planting a passionate kiss on her lips.

"I thought you were dead!" Hermione told him, tears welling up in her eyes.

"It'll take a lot more than some Death Eaters and a translucent snake lover to get rid of me." (Y/n) said kissing her forehead.

"Plus if I was dead how'd I make it to the wedding?" He asked her, intertwining his fingers with hers, the silver rings in their fingers knocking into each other.

"The what?" Ron said his mouth open.

"The wedding Ron, the wedding." (Y/n) told him, eying his suspiciously.

Harry glared at Ron, while Hermione looked between Ron and (Y/n) nervously.

Ron closed his mouth, looking as though he was contemplating something, looking  over at Harry. He turned back to (Y/n), smiling now.

"Congratulations." He said, pulling the two of them into a hug. "I'm happy for you two."

"Well now that that's all cleared up we have some planning to do." Harry said.

"Way to ruin the moment Potter." (Y/n) said to him.

"Where are we anyway?" Ron asked looking around the room.

"Room of Requirement, of course!" said Neville. "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."

"And the Carrows can't get in?" asked Harry, looking around for the door.

"No," said Seamus Finnigan, whom (Y/n) had not recognized until he spoke: Seamus's face was bruised and puffy.

"It's a proper hideout, as long as one of us stays in here, they can't get at us, the door won't open. It's all down to Neville. He really gets this room.

"You've got to ask for exactly what you need – like, "I don't want any Carrow supporters to be able to get in' – and it'll do it for you! You've just got to make sure you close the loopholes. Neville's the man!"

"It's quite straightforward, really," said Neville modestly. "I'd been in here about a day and a half, and getting really hungry, and wishing I could get something to eat, and that's when the passage to Hog's Head opened up.

"I went through it and met Aberforth. He's been providing us with food, because for some reason, that's the one thing the room doesn't really do."

"Yeah, well, food's one of the five exceptions to Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration," said Ron to general astonishment.

"So we've been hiding out here for nearly two weeks," said Seamus, "and it just makes more hammocks every time we need room, and it even sprouted a pretty good bathroom once girls started turning up – "

"—and thought they'd quite like to wash, yes," supplied Lavender Brown, whom (Y/n) had not noticed until that point.

"Lavender!" Ron said happily, pulling her into a hug and snogging.

During this (Y/n) looked around properly, he recognized many familiar faces. Both Patil twins were there, as were Terry Boot, Ernie Macmillan, Anthony Goldstein, and Michael Corner.
