Koga and Shippo where the next visitors she had. When they first arrived they had shared some newspapers they had brought with them. Seems as though Harry had, according to the paper, "infiltrated" the Ministry then fled when discovered. Kagome was simply happy that he was still safe, part of her wished he was safe with her. She knew that couldn't be an option though.

"Shippo go collect everyone for dinner." She instructed him.

The family style dinners was something Kagome had started a few weeks back. Kagome, her current visitors and whatever students were able to, came to the table. They shared a large meal. The students who had to stay in bed were delivered trays and served first. Kagome made a point of taking time with each one so they didn't feel left out.

"Hey Kits! Foods done!" she heard Shippo yell out. She couldn't help but give a small laugh.

As the students filled in Kagome noticed there was not many. A couple Ravenclaw girls, a Hufflepuff and Neville.

The other students returned, her smile Neville did not. He had ben distant lately and Kagome wondered what was on his mind. Kagome was proud of Neville, Not only was he a great help to her but he was holding his own against the death eaters outside of the room of requirement. Kagome worried for him a bit, His defense of the others was quickly causing him to be a favorite target for extra "punishments".

"Oi, Kagome I got you a present when I went out today." Koga declared breaking the silence of the table.

Kagome looked up at him wondering what he and gotten. "Koga I don't need anything. The room provides for…"

"It's not something you need. It's something I thought you would want." He said getting up from the table he went to his bag and shuffled around for a bit before returning to the table and setting a radio down in front of her.

He fiddled around with it for a bit getting nothing but static.

"It's not midnight yet Koga." Shippo told the wolf.

"What happens at midnight?" The Hufflepuff asked.

Shippo gave her a dazzling smile which made the girl blush and caused Kagome to roll her eyes. "The underground radio broadcast begins."

Kagome perked up at that, she had forgotten that Lee was doing that. It was where Fred and George had gone off to. "Is…"

She didn't get to finish "Yes, Fred is on there." Koga answered in a teasing manner.

8*8*8*8

After dinner was finished and the able bodied students were returned to the dorm rooms for the night Kagome brought out the radio, students leaned forwards in their hospital like beds to hear. Word had gotten around after dinner and they were eager for news that wasn't full of propaganda. It took some searching for the correct station but finally they heard Fred, George and Lee loud and clear. As they listened Kagome found herself happy to hear Fred's voice again. Even if it was just through the radio.

She listened for several minutes before Kotastu came brushing up against her leg then trot off in the direction of the door. Assuming it was McGonagall she got followed the cat over to the usual meeting place near the door. She was surprised to find Neville there instead.

"Neville? What's wrong? Why are you out of the dorms after curfew?" Kagome asked concerned. Neville looked apprehensive about something.

"I…" Neville raked a hand through his hair in frustration, Kagome gave him time to think not interrupting his thought process. She hadn't seen Neville this worked up since Luna had been taken.

"Who else are you meeting with Kagome? Was it Snape? I…That night I heard you talking to Kotastu then saw you leave the room of requirement. You never do that, it's not safe for you to leave. Where did you go?" He asked quickly. Neville didn't want to be suspicious of Kagome. He actually admired her a great deal, almost in the way that Harry had admired Dumbledore.

Kagome understood now why he had been more distant lately. "Yes it was Snape he's…."

"Kagome, the man killed Dumbledore!" Neville interrupted her.

Kagome sighed she knew he would be upset but she hadn't expected him to yell. "I know I was there." She said calmly "He has his reasons though. Neville you don't know what he's done. Truly done."

Neville looked at her with apprehension, what reasons could justify murder. Kagome saw the look and saw that he need further explanation before he would believe her.

"He did it so Malfoy wouldn't have too. You know who, was going to make Draco kill Albus. Snape knew that he couldn't let a student have that kind of weight on them. So Snape did it instead. It was a plan he worked out with Albus."

Neville still looked like he didn't believe her about Snape so she went on "I meet with him that day to see if he could find out where they had taken Luna. He did, he told me this morning that she's being kept at Malfoy Manor."

Kagome looked at him and Neville let out a sigh. He couldn't trust Snape, not just yet anyway. He could however trust Kagome still. He just wasn't sure about her association with the new headmaster of the school. Neville was worried about Snape turning on her like he had Albus. He just wanted to make sure she was safe.

"Fine, we should tell…"

"No, we can't tell anyone about Snape" Kagome interrupted Neville.

The teen sent her a look that clearly told her he didn't agree with that.

"It might give him away to the death eaters Neville. Right now we still need him to be undercover. We can't blow that for him. It would make things worse." She urged him

"I don't like you meeting with him alone. I just can't trust him yet." Neville admitted to her.

Kagome nodded in understanding and offered the only solution she could think of. "Then come with me."

Neville thought about it for a few moments then nodded. "When are you meeting him again?"

"Tomorrow night."
