Okay SOOOO sorry it took so long for me to update, I've had total writers block. I'm the kind of girl who reads Harry Potter 7 in a day and writes a book. But lately, I haven't wanted to read or write whatsoever. I think I was possessed by a demon or something. But as I read through my previous chapters, I realized that the first three were in first person and the fourth chapter was in third. I've written almost two pages of this chapter in third but I'm going to change it to first so you won't even know the difference! :) Read and review please 3

Chapter Five

I had to look over the shoulders of the Golden Trio and Neville to see the room. It was just as I imagined, it was huge and looked like a grander version of the tree house I had at my old house. There were hammocks of all colors across the room, great tapestries of Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Gryffindor lining the room. There were bookcases all along the walls, along with a fair few broomsticks.

"Look who it is! Didn't I tell you?"

"HARRY!"

"It's Potter, it's POTTER!"

"Ron!"

"Hermione!"

Voices across the room called their names and as they stepped out into the room, the group was surrounded by students. I took the time to struggle free of the group and look around the room, brushing my fingers along the walls and tapestries.

"Okay, okay, calm down!" I turned around as I heard Neville speak above the crowd.

"Where are we?" Harry asked with a confused expression on his face.

"Room of Requirement, of course! Surpassed itself, hasn't it? The Carrows were chasing me, and I knew I just had one chance for a hideout: I managed to get through the door and this is what I found! Well, it wasn't exactly like this when I arrived, it was a load smaller, there was only one hammock and just Gryffindor hangings. But it's expanded as more and more of the D.A. Have arrived."

"And the Carrows can't get in?"

"No," Seamus Finnigan spoke up, his face bruised beyond belief. "It's a proper hideout, as long as one of us stays in here, they can't get at us, the door won't open. It's all down to Neville. He really gets this room. You've got to ask it for exactly what you need – like, 'I don't want any Carrow supporters to be able to get in' – and it'll do it for you! You've just got to make sure you close the loopholes! Neville's the man!"

"It's quite straightforward, really," Neville explained. As I walked closer, pushing past some of the people, I could see the light blush on his cheeks.

"I'd been in here about a day and a half, and getting really hungry, and wishing I could get something to eat, and that's when the passage to the Hog's Head opened up. I went through it and met Aberforth. He's been providing us with food, because for some reason, thats the one thing the room doesn't really do..."

"Yeah, well food's one of the five exceptions to Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration," Ron cut in, making me smile. As Seamus spoke, basically ignoring Ron, I noticed something that was not written in the book. Hermione smiling over at Ron, taking his hand in hers and giving it a gentle sqeeze, causing Ron to blush bright red.

It was when Ron took a bow that I adverted my gaze, looking around and catching some of the students' gazes. They looked at me with confused expressions, none of them recognizing me. I looked away from one girl in particular, whom I knew to be Lavender Brown, and watched as Neville asked Harry sit down after his vision, the one of Voldemort discovering that the ring was gone.

"Who're you?" Lavender spoke up, looking directly at me, causing everyone to follow her gaze. I stuttered, feeling the heat rise to my cheeks I looked at Harry for help, not knowing what I should say.

Instead of Harry coming to my rescue, it was Hermione that spoke for me. "This is Lindsey Cook. She's an American and well...let's say that she's a seer," Hermione shrugged. "She know's whats going to happen, though she won't tell us what happens," Hermione's lips were tight as she said this, her gaze deepening into a glare as she looked at me. "She will help us though, she's promised that much to us."

I met Hermione's glare. I knew she was a good person, but I don't like being accused of things. "If I tell you what's going to happen, it will ruin the future. Imagine someone told you in second year that you would have to risk Ginny's life to get at that diary...would you have done that? Even if you knew how important it was?" I met Ron's eyes, then Harry's. There was silence in the room and I knew I had made my point clear. "As it is, I'm not sure what help I can be, I'm not a witch but I'll do what I can."

"If you're not a witch, then how can you be a seer?" Lavender cut in, crossing her arms in that snotty attitude she does.

My mouth opened to retort but Harry cut in, telling everyone in the room his story.

He didn't tell them how I really came to be there, he just said that they found me after they broke into Gringotts. It was believeable, Harry really knew how to speak in front of crowds, though he was inconfident about it all.

The portrait of Ariana opened and gingers flooded the room. Most of the Weasleys were there now, as well as members of the Order. The last one through made me catch my breath. He had short brown hair, cut military-like. He was muscular and tall and had the most beautiful brown eyes. Our eyes locked before he was thrust into a group of Gryffindor's. "Wood! Nice to see you, buddy," Lee Jordan chuckled, clapping the guy on the back.

Oliver Wood.

I had had a crush on him in the books, I didn't know why. But during the movies, the actor that portrayed him was cute, but I never would have guessed he was this attractive, it was crazy. My eyes stayed on him for a minute before Harry called everyone to attention.

"Okay, I need to go find something. It's something of Ravenclaws," he looked towards Cho Chang and Luna Lovegood, who was standing right behind her. "Can you think of anything that was...symbolic to her or something?"

"There's always the Lost Diadem," Luna said in a dreamy voice, her blond curls falling down her back.

"What's that?"

Cho explained what the diadem was, and when it was lost. She suggested to go with him to the Ravenclaw common room, but before Harry could say anything, Ginny cut him off. "Luna can go with him, can't you Luna?" she looked pointedly at her friend.

"Oh yes, this way," Luna smiledover at Harry. After they left, Ron and Hermione left as well to go down to the Chamber.

I stood in the middle of the room, biting my lip as everyone came up with plans for the upcoming battle. Every few minutes, new Order members would come through the portrait, but I stayed out of sight mostly. I walked to the bookshelves, locating Hogwarts, A History almost immediately. I had wanted JK Rowling to write this book, just like she wrote Magical Beasts and Where To Find Them and Quidditch through the Ages.

I sat down on a small chair near the fireplace and began to read. Before I knew it, I was halfway through the book. I looked up to see what was going on, if they had made a decision, but I was alone in the room. My eyes widened and my breathing sped up. I jumped out of the chair and made my way onto the seventh floor corridor.

"I don't have anything to protect myself with..." I cursed myself mentally and turned back to the room, only the door had already vanished. I swore and walked past the wall three times, saying to myself, "I need something that will help me tonight," over and over again, my eyes shut tightly.

When I opened my eyes, the huge oak doors were in front of me, as if they had always been. I could hear the fighting coming from the Great Hall, the stairs, down the corridor. I looked left and right before hurrying inside the room.
