CHAPTER 84

                                    

                                          
When we apparated to Hogsmeade, it was empty.

                          
"It's going to take a really long time to walk to Hogwarts from here" said Luna.
                          
"Is there any other way?" asked Dean.
                          
Suddenly, the door to a pub flew open. The Hog's Head. An old man with a rather long beard ushered us in before shutting the door behind him.
                          
"What are you doing outside? You're all wanted by death eaters!" he scolded.
                          
I didn't ask him how he knew that we were wanted, we didn't have much time.
                          
"Do you have any idea how we can get to Hogwarts without being caught?"
                          
"Hang on a minute!" said George, "Fred, remember that secret passage on the Marauder's Map. Didn't one lead to the Hog's Head?"
                          
The old man turned to a portrait of a young girl and the portrait swung open, revealing a hole.
                          
"Perfect! We can easily get to Hogwarts through here!" said Fred, stepping into the hole, we followed.
                          
It was quite dark inside so I cast the lumos charm. Soon enough, we reached to the other end and pushed the door open to reveal a large room with hammocks of all shapes and colours in it. I could see the banners of the Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw houses.
                          
Under it were all the Hogwarts students.
                          
"Seamus!" yelled Dean before sprinting towards him and hugging him, kissing him all over the face.
                          
"Fred, George, Alice, and Luna! We're so glad to see you here!" said Neville.
                          
From between the crowd, Ginny ran over and hugged her older brothers and then hugged me.
                          
"Ginny you're alright! What are all those bruises on your face?" George cried, inspecting her face.
                          
"Never mind those George, they're all yellowing anyway" she waved it off as it was nothing.
                          
"Alice?" I spun around to see Bella, looking very surprised.
                          
"Bella!" I yelled, rushing towards her and hugging her.
                          
"What are you doing here, at Hogwarts?" I asked.
                          
"Somehow, our dad convinced the death eaters to let me study here" she said happily, I was so glad to finally see her.
                          
"Oh Bella, I'm so sorry I couldn't keep you safe, I'm a terrible sister!" I said.
                          
"No you're not, don't be silly Alice, I'm here now and we're all fine" she smiled and I nodded.
                          
"What's going on, and where are we?" I asked.
                          
"This is the room of requirement, we've been here in hiding for the past two weeks because of all the death eaters" said Neville, "We're all here to help Harry, each one of us" 
                          
Other members of the D.A started arriving and Harry looked proudly at all of them.
                          
"I need you to help me find something associated with Rowena Ravenclaw" said Harry, looking at everyone hopefully. We all thought what it could be when Luna spoke up,
                          
"Rowena Ravenclaw had a lost diadem" said Luna.
                          
"That's it! That has to be it!" said Harry, "Do you know where it is?"
                          
"I don't know where it is but there's a statue of Rowena wearing it" offered Luna.
                          
"Perfect, take me there!" said Harry and the two of them walked out of the room.
                          
"What do we do?" asked Fred.
                          
"We wait here for further instructions" said Neville.
                          
I tried to stay calm, not knowing exactly what was going on. Forty-five minutes passed and suddenly, we heard a loud crash.
