A Soul Bond - HP fanfic

Chapter 54. Home.

"Let's have a bit of fun, shall we?" Neville said as they were about to enter the castle through the tunnels that they have never been in before.

Evelyn could feel her heart pounding against her chest, making it kind of impossible for her to breathe, specially since they have been walking for a long 15 minutes now.

However, just when Neville opened the door he said "Hey, you lot, I bought you a surprise." As Neville turned to his side so everyone could see Harry, the rest of the students stood up and started clapping.

"Blimey! It's Harry!"

More and more students started to gather around but what caught Evelyn's attention was a certain blonde hair that she could recognize anywhere.

"STEPH!" Eve yelled through the crowd, and since everyone was so shocked and happy to see Harry, no one paid attention to Evelyn, like always.

"EVE!" Steph yelled back as they dramatically and funnily enough, went running towards each other like in a movie, hugging each other tightly once they made it close enough.

Luna was giggling beside them, watching in awe as the best friends reunite.

"I was so so worried!" Steph said as she kept hugging Eve. "All we heard were rumors, but I couldn't really tell if they were true or not-"

"Can I just tell you something quick?" Eve said, since she was dying to let her know. When Steph nodded and listened carefully, still with her arms around Eve, she continued "Albus Dumbledore's sister was my grandma."

"Okay, what?"

"We just met with Aberforth, he was the one who called Neville and that's how we just learned about the secret passage...-" Eve told her everything she just learned about her family, and just as she finished, Harry finished saying hi to everyone else and everyone stayed silent to see what he had to say.

Eve, Steph and Luna stayed silent as well. Eve wasn't sure if Harry was going to tell everyone what Dumbledore has made him do all this time.

"Alright, there's something we need to find. Something hidden here in the castle. It may help us defeat You-Know-Who."

"Alright, what is it?" Neville ask.

"We don't know." At that, Steph looked at Eve with questioning eyes and when Eve nodded, saying that he was telling the truth, Steph was frustrated.

"Where is it?" Steph asked.

"We don't know that either. I realize there's no much to go on-"

"That's nothing to go on." Steph replied. "Why would you come here, if you don't have a plan? Are you trying to get yourself killed?" When Steph said that, she however looked at Eve and Harry knew what she meant. If he died, they have no idea what is going to happen to Evelyn.

He didn't pay attention to that though, in his mind, if he thought about Evelyn in danger, he will never be able to defeat Voldemort. His mind needed to be clear. He was nervous and he also had a bad feeling, just like Steph. And he knew Steph only had good intentions, but once again, he can't get distracted. They needed to find this, it was the only option they had. "I think it has something to do with Rowena Revenclaw. It'll be small, easily concealed. Anyone got any idea?"

"Well there's the Lost Diadem of Ravenclaw." Luna said, but everyone else was confused as to why she would suggest that.

"Hasn't anyone heard of it?" Luna asked, Steph has heard it before, just like many in that room, but everyone knew it was lost. That's why they had called it that.

"Yes Luna, but it's lost. It's been for centuries. There's not a person alive who has seen it." Steph replied.

"I'm sorry, can someone tell me what was a Diadem?" Ron asked, completely clueless as to what was going on.
