AFTER HARRY HAD REPEATED HIS STATEMENT THAT THEY NEED TO GET INTO THE CASTLE TONIGHT, ABERFORTH LOOKED OVER AT THE LITTLE GIRL IN THE PICTURE FRAME. He nodded his head, as he told her what to do. Blaire frowned in confusion as she watched the blonde politely smile, nodding her head, as she began walking down a path that had been painted in the picture. "Where have you sent her?" The Slytherin curiously asked.

"You'll see, soon enough," the elder man mumbled.

"That's your sister, Ariana?" Hermione pipped up. "Isn't it?" Aberforth nodded his head once. "She died very young, didn't she?" Once again, the man nodded his head.

"My brother sacrificed many things, Mr Potter," Aberforth sternly told Harry. "On his journey; including Ariana. And she was devoted to him, he gave her everything, but time."

Hermione had thanked the elder man, as she turned towards Blaire and Harry. "He did save our lives twice. Kept an eye on us on that mirror. That doesn't seem like someone who's given up," she flatly stated.

"Maybe not someone whose given up, but someone who has a lot of resentment issues," the brunette grimed, as Hermione glared at her comment.

Blaire's glance went back up to the picture frame that Ariana had left, as she saw the blonde-haired girl walking back up. "She's coming back."

"What's that with her?" Ron asked, as the frame started to open.

"Neville!" Blaire greeted the boy with surprise, as he looked like he had been through hell in back. "You look like hell, Longbottom."

"Missed your humor, Hope. But this is nothing, Seamus looks worse," the Gryffindor boy smiled softly.

The foursome took the tunnel that ran to the castle, following Neville. Harry grabbed Blaire's hand, as the couple walked side by side each other. The group glanced around the tunnel, not knowing how this passageway existed.

"Don't remember this on the Marauder's Map," Ron expressed.

"That's because it never existed till now," Neville cooly said. "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 crawled with Death Eaters and Dementors."

"Wait, did you say this is the only way in or out?" Blaire questioned, wanting to here it a second time. Neville pursed his lips, nodding his head along. The brunette shook her head with disgust, wondering how Hogwarts got this bad, but Harry asked the question she was thinking.
