Hermione, Draco, Lily, and Lila were doing great they were as happy as they could ever be, now they just had to worry about finishing their last year at Hogwarts and do it well, after all this was the rest of their lives. Draco was pretty sure he wanted to become an Auror with Harry, though they still weren't on great terms, the whole past 6 years of hate would take a while to sort through and understand. Ron was going to work with his brother Bill as a Gringott's curse breaker. And Ginny still had one year left at school, but she was going to be a nurse at St. Mungo's when she finished her last year. But more importantly was what's going to with Harry...
Harry sat quietly in his room, he had his own room now, for many reasons, and planning what he was going to do. Ever since Voldemort came back security had grown increasingly tighter day by day, Harry had no idea how he would get out of his common room let alone to London, he had to plot and plan. It was 2 o'clock on a Sunday morning, and he had, including today, approximately five days until he had to be there. He couldn't sleep all night, he just laid awake trying to think of something for hours and hours, until he had an idea.
It was about 5:30 in the morning when he quietly crawled through the portrait hole out of Gryffindor House.
"Isn't awfully early to be out and about Harry?" said the Fat Lady.
Harry grunted sleepily and briskly walked away, he knew there was only one place for him to go! On the seventh floor, to a stretch of blank wall between a window and a man-sized vase, and opposite from a tapestry which showed Barnabas the Barmy's foolish attempt to train trolls for the ballet. Yes, none other than the Room of Requirements!
I need a room that will help me think and provide me with the information I need, Harry thought this as he walked past the wall three times. When he turned around a rustic cedar door was there. He opened it and a pleasant smell filled the room, he carefully stepped into a cozy library. On the opposite side of the door was a window, but it did not depict Hogwarts grounds, but a scene of a snowy night on a quaint village. Harry started to look at the books, they were all on Hogwarts, but he didn't know where to start. I need a way to get out of her and to the Ministry of Magic, Harry thought. When he opened his eyes a book sat in front of him, Ways to Escape from Hogwarts, A Book of Rule-Braking. He opened to the first page and began to read, it told him what the book was about: escaping Hogwarts. Harry turned the page to the contents and then to page number for the Ministry of magic. He then started to skim for a possible way out. One was using the one-eyed witch passage to get to Hogsmeade and then apparating there, which Harry thought was obvious and just not good enough. There was a high chance he would get caught! he needed something easy but perfect. "Ahha!" Harry found it. Harry read aloud "Portals are a rip in the.. blah, blah, blah... they are not really used, because we have floo powder, the ability to apparate, flying, portkeys, and so much more. Portals are much more secretive and very rare! But alas the Ministry of Magic has EVERYTHING, so of course it has a few portals here and there." It listed a few, including Level Nine- Department of Mysteries. He closed the book and his eyes and thought, I need a book that will tell me how to get into the Department of Mysteries secretly and fast. When he opened up his eyes there was a new book in his hands, this time it was about the Department of Mysteries.
Harry opened to the first page and it gave a suggestive way to get in, the most secretive way, it was a combination of things. The first part was the portal, he would have to create one where he was using a potion and other things, he'd worry about that in a little bit. Then he would have to use a very advance transfiguration/disguise spell; this would turn him in a chameleon except even better. He would become whatever he landed on out of the portal, the floor at first. He would be able to move though and not be noticed, all around to up the wall onto the ceiling, a really advanced spell could go over and on a person or even become the air, but Harry need not worry about that. He could then be able to materialize out of the floor (if he was anywhere else he would fall), he could even materialize invisible; he would study that just in case.
Harry then began to think of a bed and sleep, and soon the most comfortable one appeared, he laid down and fell asleep.
