(A.N. I do not own anything pertaining to Harry Potter that all belongs to J.K. Rowling. All I own is the non H.P characters and the plot.)

Harry's P.O.V

That evening after dinner Hermione and I walked to the seventh floor to the room of requirement also known as our common room. We stood outside and waited on everyone to meet with us. Ron and Ally were the first to come.

"Alright Hermione and Harry?" Ron asked.

"Yeah we are ok, just waiting for everyone else to get here." Hermione said fidgety.

I put my arms around Hermione waist. " Its going to be fine love." I whispered in her ear.

"I know, Im just nervous. I mean think about what we all are going to be doing. It is huge and difficult. So many things could go wrong." She replied anxiously. I squeezed her a little to try and reassure her.

"Hermione, calm down will you? It will work out. We have done worse things and if anyone can do it, we can." Ron said giving her a smile.

She released a breath and nodded and smiled back. We all leaned against the wall and Ally started humming a song that I've never heard before. "Ally, what is that you are humming?" I asked.

"Its called "The Hanging Tree" it reminds me of our situation at the moment. Sounds silly I know but still." She replied.

"Oh really? What are some of the lyrics?" Hermione asked.

"I dont like to sing in front of people so I will let you listen to it." She said pulling out a small ipod.

"I didnt think those muggle things worked in Hogwarts." Ron stated puzzled.

"They used to not work but since the war, the frequency of magic has changed. You can have a television, radio, even a microwave in here now." Hermione said.

"What's a microwave?" Ron asked.

We couldnt help but laugh." We will tell you another time. Lets hear the song." I said.

Ally turned on the ipod and we heard a voice coming out of it, that sounded more like talking but it was a beautiful but sad song. We listened to the lyrics.

Are you, are you coming to the tree.
They strung up a man they say who murdered three. Strange things did happen here. No stranger would be it be. If we met at midnight in the hanging tree.

Are you, are you.Coming to the tree?
Where dead man called out, For his love to flee.Strange things did happen here.
No stranger would it be.If we met at midnight, In the hanging tree.

Are you, are you Coming to the tree?
Where I told you to run,so we'd both be free.Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be.If we met at midnight in the hanging tree.

"Well thats bloody well depressing." Blaise said as everyone was walking up to us. We didnt hear anyone coming up, we were too engrossed into the song. Ally turned off the ipod.

I looked at everyone. I didnt think Blaise and Greg would be coming." Okay, um well I didnt expect all of you to be here. What we are going to be discussing is extremely important and must stay between us." I said.

"Harry, you can trust us." Blaise said.

"Im counting on that." I said with a grin.

Blaise grinned back and Greg nodded in agreement. "Okay so this is not just the a Room of Requirement but also Hermione and my dormitory. No one can know its here though so keep it under wraps. Everyone ready to go in?" I asked.
