“How many are left?” Draco asked. After they changed into dry clothes. Draco had just dried his clothes and cast a warming charm on everyone..
“There's the diadem, the snake Nagini and of course the goblet we just grabbed.” Harry explained.
“So what now?” Ron asked.
“Voldemort is checking the location of each horcrux. Finding them gone or destroyed will make him angry. We have to go to Hogwarts before he tries to check on it.”
“We can apparate into Hogsmead,” Hermione suggested, “From there we can use the secret passages into the school.” She double checked her beaded bag was closed and secure. “Ready?” everyone looked around at each other.
“Let's go,” Harry said he put his hand on Draco's shoulder and said to Ron and Hermione, “Meet in the little alley beside the HogsHead.” They apparate in pairs, popping into the dark alley.
A loud caterwauling sounded the moment they appeared. In the distance someone shouted and they heard several people running in their direction.
Harry pulled them all into the cover of old storage boxes behind the HogsHead. Dropping the invisibility cloak over their heads left their legs exposed. Draco quickly cast a disillusionment spell as Hermione erased their tracks.
Two men skidded into the alley moments later. “It must be Potter and his friends. Look around,“ the two men split up and started checking in and behind storage boxes.
The men were out of view of the alley and the group moved quietly back into the alley. The side door of the HogsHead opened and a gruff man's voice whispered, “Potter! Get in here!” The group stared for a moment before acting. Piercingly blue eyes shimmered in the moonlight.
They entered a cozy room with a crackling fire. The man at the door spoke to the two men outside.
“Can't even let my cat out!”
“You can't break curfew! Now get back inside.” The two men reset the alarm and went back on patrol.
“Did you see him?” “That's got to be-”
“What do you think you’re doing?!” The man with Dumbledore’s eyes nearly yelled.
“You must be Aberforth.” Harry said ignoring the man's rage.
“Of course I am.” Aberforth’s eyes roamed over the disheveled group. He stared hard at Draco who’s stomach lurched, “A Malfoy.” He snapped his eyes to Harry, “Why are you traveling with a death eater? Have you gone mad?!”
Harry kept his eyes on Aberforth as he said, “Show him,” Draco pulled his left sleeve up revealing the changed dark mark. Aberforth gasped. He couldn't take his eyes off Draco’s arm.
“H-how are you not writhing in agony?” Aberforth asked awed.
“Unbreakable Vow. Swore my fealty to Potter,” Draco answered curtly and began rolling his sleeve back down. Aberforth continued to stare at Draco's arm making him uncomfortable.
“We need to get into Hogwarts” Harry stated, “Will you help us?”
Aberforth looked shaken, “You're not gonna win this, boy,”
“I have to try. Your brother gave me a mission. I have to finish it” Harry replied.
“You don't have to do anything. My brother had no business setting children out to defeat You-Know-Who. Foolish!” Aberforth gave them a sad look. “ Get outta here. Get out of the country… “
“I can't do that.” Harry stepped closer to Aberforth, “I need to get into Hogwarts. Can you help me or not?” Aberforth looked at Harry for a long moment before nodding and walking to the mantel.
“You know what to do,” he said to a young girl in the painting above the fireplace. She smiled serenely and walked away in the painting.
“Harry… we should cover Malfoy in the cloak. Not everyone is gonna be OK with this.” Ron commented.
Harry nodded and handed the cloak to Draco. Their fingers brushed and they both blushed looking away quickly. “Keep this on until we know it's safe for you.” Draco wrapped the cloak around him. Hermione gave Harry a quizzical look noticing their blushing but mercifully didn’t say anything. Draco used his invisibility to stare at Harry for a long moment before turning to the portrait. Blushing?! Why was I blushing? I can’t think about that right now.
They all watched as the girl came back through the painting. Something was different though. There was another person with her.
“Neville!” Hermione exclaimed. She smiled brightly at him, “What are you doing here?”
“Harry! Hermione! Ron!” Neville shouted as he swung the portrait open revealing a tunnel behind him, “What is going on?”
“We need to get into Hogwarts,” Harry started, “What happened to you?” Neville was covered in bruises and cuts.
“Carrows,” he replied, “Hey Aberforth! Could I bring back some supplies?” Neville asked. Aberforth grumbled and left the room to get some.
“Neville…” Hermione started. Neville held up his hands.
“Carrows like corporal punishment. They use crucio on anyone who misbehaves or rebels. I got these protecting some first years.” Neville answered Hermione. He locked eyes with Harry, “Are you here to fight him?”
“We need to find something. It's in the school. We really need to get in,” Harry explained.
Neville nodded his thanks to Aberforth as he took the bag of supplies. “Right, we'll help you Harry. Come one let's get you in.”
Neville lead the way through the portrait and down the tunnel. Draco trailed behind them. Neville explained how the DA had fought the Carrows as much as they could. Ginny and Neville had been given a hard time for being Harry supporters. Harry couldn’t help but be proud of them for fighting but so worried that the Carrows would kill a student. Draco was impressed with Neville. The Carrows were nearly as bad as Bellatrix. He knew their ‘teaching’ was anything but ruthless.
Neville continued to explain how the room of requirement made this passage and safe space for students to hide. They reached another doorway and Neville opened it and went through. Harry followed behind him.
“Hey everyone! We've got visitors!” Neville announced to the nearly 20 students in the room. The room burst into a roar of cheers. Everyone gathered near the portrait with smiles and whoops.
Ginny rushed forward and hugged Harry for a long moment. Draco felt a surge of jealousy. He pushed it aside for the moment. There was no way he was jealous of the redhead. “I'm so glad you're all alive!” She pulled Hermione into a hug before stepping back.
“Ginny!” Ron pulled her back into a hug and wouldn't let her go.
“What's going on Harry?” someone in the crowd asked
“He's looking for something,” Neville said loudly over the rising questions. He looked expectantly at Harry.
“Right, so there's something hidden in the school that I need to help me defeat You-Know-Who. It belonged to Rowena Ravenclaw.”
“The Lost Diadem,” Luna answered.
“Exactly. I need to find it,” Harry answered.
“But it’s been lost for centuries,” Cho said, “It could be anywhere.”
“I have to find it,” Harry pleaded.
“I could take you to Ravenclaw tower,” Luna offered.
“Thanks Luna,” Harry smiled at her, “There is one more thing.” He glanced at Ron and Hermione, “We have another ally in this fight. He has sworn his allegiance to me. Don't attack him.” He motioned for Draco to stand beside him. Draco whipped the invisibility cloak off dramatically and there were loud gasps and shouts of “No!”
“Harry… that's Malfoy. He's a Death Eater!” Neville exclaimed hand on his wand.
“Not any more!” Harry pushed Draco's left sleeve up, once again showing the traitor's mark. Everyone grew silent.
“Why?” Ginny asked. Draco turned to answer her.
“I was dead either way. Might as well die fighting against the evil that has ruined my life.” No one said anything. Harry gave Draco a small smile.
“Don't attack him. He's on our side.” his scar prickled and knew time was running out. “We have to start moving. Ron & Hermione find something to destroy them,”
Harry moved to the upper floors with Luna and Draco. Ron and Hermione moved to the lower floors.
