The corridors of Hogwarts, which were once alive with laughter and the hustle and bustle of daily life, are now strangely still. Aggie stands on the edge of the Great Hall, as students and professors alike prepare for the impending conflict. The long tables have been moved aside, replaced by rows of homemade barriers, and the charmed ceiling above is a stormy sky, reflecting the tension in the atmosphere.
"Everyone, you may go back to your respective houses dormitories," McGonagall said.
Aggie was about to return when she saw Luna entering a room so she immediately followed her. When she entered she was surprised to see Dumbledore's Army.
"What are you guys doing here?" she said.
"Waiting," said Cho.
"I brought you a surprise!!" Neville said he came out of what looked like a tunnel out of Hogwarts.
"Not more Aberforth's cooking, I hope... Couldn't digest it anymore," Seamus complained.
"Blimey!! It's Harry Potter!."
"Aggie?" Harry said in surprise when he saw Aggie.
Hermione hugged Aggie "How are you? My godchild? is it a he or she?."
"A he," she whispered.
"Enough, we do have not much time!! What's the plan, Harry?!" Neville said.
"Okay... there's something we need to find," said Harry. "Something hidden here in the castle that may defeat you-know-who."
"Right, what is it?" said Neville.
"We don't know," Harry said as if it was annoying to believe
"Where is it?."
"We don't know that either," said Ron.
"Big help," Aggie said and sighed in worry. Harry is his only hope... and somehow, it slowly falling apart.
"But I think it has something to do with Ravenclaw, something small and easy to conceal," said Harry.
"Ravenclaw's lost diadem?" said Luna.
"We are running out of time!! We have to move!! The Headmaster is summoning everyone in the Great Hall, he's looking for you... Harry, they know you're here." Ginny said.
Everyone walked out of the room, to the Great Hall, and Aggie swiftly followed and joined the other Slytherins. They stayed in a line inside the Great Hall and waited for what's gonna happen next.
The room is a sea of faces, familiar and frightened, and every pair of eyes turns to the Headmaster as he steps inside. There's a collective gasp, a surge of emotion that hits everyone like a tidal wave—relief, hope, fear. You can feel their desperation, their need for reassurance, for a plan, for something to hold onto in the face of the darkness that's closing in.
"You may all wondering why I summoned you here at this hour. Harry Potter was... sighted... in Hogsmeade earlier this evening. Should any of you, student or staff, attempt to hide Mr. Potter... any person found to have knowledge of these events and who fails to come forward will be treated as guilty" he said emphatically in his threatening low voice.
"If any of you know where Harry Potter is, step forward... now."
Everyone was quiet and no one spoke, including Aggie.
But then, Aggie sees Harry across the room, his eyes locked on hers, and something clicks into place. Aggie remembers why she's here, and what they're fighting for. Not just for herself, but for them—for everyone who's ever believed that they deserve to survive, who's ever stood by her side.
