THE TUNNEL IS DARK AND COLD, WINDING A PATH TOWARDS THE CASTLE. "I don't remember this on the Marauder's Map." Ron says to Neville. "That's because it never existed till now. The seven secret passages were sealed off before the start of the year. This is the only way in or out now. The grounds are crawling with Death Eaters and Dementors." He calls out and we follow behind him, walking deeper into the tunnel.
"How bad is Snape as headmaster?" Hermione asks him. "Hardly ever see him. It's the Carrows you need to watch out for." I frown at his words. "Carrows?" Harry asks Neville and the man glances back at him. "Yeah. Brother and sister. In charge of discipline. They like punishment, the Carrows." Neville motions to his face.
"They did that to you? Why?" Hermione questions. "Today's Dark Arts lesson had us practicing the Cruciatus Curse. On first-years. I refused. Hogwarts has changed." This makes me feel ill to my core. I remember what it was like to be an eleven year old and get tortured by that curse. I wouldn't wish it on them.
We soon get to the end of the tunnel and Neville turns to us for a moment. "Let's have a little fun, shall we?" He pushes open the painting, revealing a room filled with hammocks and students. A hideout. "Hey, listen up, you lot. Brought you a surprise." Neville calls out.
"Not more of Aberforth's cooking, I hope. Be a surprise if we can digest it." Seamus says to the boy. Neville steps to the side, revealing me and Harry. "Blimey!" Seamus says and claps his hands, everyone follows behind and they all stand and move over to us. I climb down from the portrait and Luna moves over to me.
I give her a smile and wrap my arms around her, she hugs me back. Everyone crowds around us before Neville turns to me. "What's the plan, Jupiter?" Everyone expects me to speak and I take in a breath. "There's something we need to find and it's hidden in the castle. It's something to do with Ravenclaw but we don't know what it is, or where it is. But it will help us defeat The Dark Lord. But you'll be able to feel it if you find it, it's got dark magic running through it." Luna's eyes lift to me.
"Well, there's Rowena Ravenclaw's lost diadem." My eyes widen at her words. My eyes move to Harry. "That could be it, it's connected to Ravenclaw, and something that could be valuable to him." I say to Harry and Cho speak up. "But it's lost, centuries now. There isn't a person alive who's seen it." Realisation washes through me.
"Then we need to talk to someone who isn't alive, a ghost." Someone rushes into the room. "Snape knows. He knows that Harry was spotted in Hogsmeade." Ginny calls out and everyone looks at us.

I shove open the doors of the great hall, a group of people walking beside me. What's left of the order, the people who want to fight. The twins stand behind me, and Hermione beside me. "How dare you stand where he stood?" Snape's eyes move to me. "Tell them how it happened that night." I killed Dumbledore, not Snape.
