"So, whats the plan Harry?" Neville asked. Nigel huffed, reaching beside us.

"Okay." Harry licked his lips, exchanging looks with all of us, "We need to find something. Hidden here in this castle and it may help us defeat, You-know-who." He seemed to be biting the inside of his cheek.

"What is it?" Neville crossed his arms.

"I dont know." Harry answered after a pause. Well... okay.

"Where is it?" I asked.

"We don't know that either." Harry answered, "I realize that's not much to go on." I pursed my lips, unable to answer to that.

"Thats nothing to go on." Seamus shook his head.

"I think it has something to do with Ravenclaw." Harry rubbed his jaw, "Erm, it'll be small, easily concealed."

"Well, there is Rowena Ravenclaw's lost diadem." Luna spoke out and everyone turned to her.

"Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem? Hasn't anyone heard of it?" She looked around, "Its quite famous."

"Yeah, but its been lost. For centuries now." Cho Chang added.

"Excuse me, could someone tell me what a bloody diadem is?" Ron added, seeming frustrated.

"Its sort of a crown. You know, like a tiara." Cho explained and I nodded.

There was a rumble of doors closing and Dean came running in.

"Ginny?" He looked straight at her.

"Hi there." She smiled back. He gulped happily.

"What is it, Dean?" Neville asked, breaking their trance.

"Professor Snape knows that Harry was spotted in Hogsmeade." At this everyone turned and looked at the four uncomfortable heroes, "He's... erm, he's set up an assembly."

It took a while before Ginny inhaled a deep breath, ready to give an order out.

"Alright, folks. New plan." She called out, "Get in your robes." She waved around, "Go to the assembly." She clapped her hands together, "Neville, give your robe to Harry and you will join them." She pointed at Harry, who thought for a bit. Everyone started getting dressed in their robes and started filing out. I watched Ginny speak something lowly to him. She, then, tapped his arm and he made his way out with us in Neville's robe. As we formed lines of four columns, Harry walked beside me.

The Carrows were watching all of us go down and beside Harry, I could see Nigel and Louis. Nancy was in behind Harry and I knew Casey and Macy were with their houses now.

We all stood in the great hall in uniform lines, and during the walk somewhere, discretely, Louis pulled the second year in front of him and changed spots, he then pulled another one beside him and was now standing in front of Harry. With Nigel and I on his sides, Nancy behind and Louis ahead, we could protect him, until he needed it. Snape walked through the crowd to the steps of the stage in front.

"Many of you are surely wondering why I have summoned you at this hour." He started slowly, as usual, "It's came to my attention that earlier this evening Harry Potter was sighted in Hogsmeade." He stepped down and started walking.

"Now... should anyone, student or staff, attempt to aid Mr Potter, they will be punished in a manner consistent with the severity of their transgression." I inhaled a deep breath. Harry still had his head low, "Furthermore, any person found to have knowledge of these events, who fails to come forward, will be treated as equally guilty." He waited for an answer. We stood high, withholding information and protecting what needed be, "No one?" He looked around and when no one spoke up, he turned to leave, only to pause when the gates to the hall started rumbling and then creaking open. We looked back and I couldnt hold back the smile at the majestic entrance of the Order. I felt a brush on my shoulder and then Harry was standing exposed in front of Snape. Nigel and Louis exchanged a worried look with me but I knew that it was now or never.
