Chapter 14

The Arrival

Neville and the D.A. were talking about new spells that they should be thinking about learning at the beginning of May. They had a feeling that a battle would ensue soon. The Carrows were becoming restless about where almost 20 students disappeared to. Neville knew that it would probably happen whether Harry came or not. Almost everyone had curses, jinxes, and defenses that they should learn in preparation. He was about to tell the D.A. they should start practicing when Ariana came into her other picture frame that Aberforth gave to Neville to keep in contact with him. Ariana said that someone arrived into the pub.

"Let's go Neville," said Seamus.

"How many people are there?" asked Neville to Ariana.

"There are three," she said.

"I'll go by myself and see who it is," said Neville.

"I bet it's a trap," said Michael. "How do you know it's not the Carrows and Snape telling Aberforth to not tell us it's them and for you to get captured and who knows what will happen after that."

"If it looks like trouble," said Neville, "I'll get out of there and I also have the coin to call for backup. You can see the end of the tunnel before you actually get there. I have a feeling its Harry, Ron, and Hermione though."

"Not this again," said Michael. "It might not be."

Neville shrugged. "Only one way to find out. If it is them, there won't be room for all of us, so I'll be fine by myself."

"Okay," said Seamus. "Tell us who's down there when you see them."

"Promise," said Neville, climbing through the hole and started the journey to the Hog's Head. He was anxious. He had a feeling it was them, but maybe Michael is right. He volunteered and would soon find out. The journey felt longer because of his anticipation. Neville looked to the end of the tunnel when he reached it and was surprised. He was right. There, at the end of the tunnel, stood Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Neville got excited and sent a message around on the coins: "Harry is back at Hogwarts, we are going to fight."

~The rest of the D.A. ~

Everyone else waited anxiously for Neville's reply on who was at the end of the tunnel. Everyone was talking quietly amongst themselves. Seamus was conversing with Avery, Michael, and Terry.

"I have a feeling he was captured," said Michael.

"Neville will be fine," said Avery, confidently. "He said he will contact us if there's trouble."

"He can't if he is caught!" shouted Michael.

"What do you think Seamus?" asked Avery, turning to him. He shook his head.

"I won't be satisfied until I get that message from Neville," he said. "He always keeps his promises, so he will message us."

Michael shook his head and turned to Terry talking about what to do if Neville is caught. Avery looked at Seamus who looked upset. Seamus and Neville were friends now and he didn't want to think about the negatives that could happen to him. Time went slowly and it felt like hours until their coins burned. Seamus yanked his out of his pocket and looked at it. "Harry is back at Hogwarts, we are going to fight." Everyone cheered and yelled. That means Neville is alright, and the Carrows are going down.

~Neville~

He opened the door and yelled in happiness. He hugged Harry and looked at Ron and Hermione and hugged them too. Harry was trying to say something, but Neville wasn't paying much attention because he was excited to see them.

"I knew you'd come! I knew it, Harry," Neville yelled. He took a step back from them to see them better. "I knew you'd come! Kept telling Seamus it was a matter of time!"

"Neville," Harry said, "what happened to you?"

"What? This?" he said, shaking his head. He would explain it to them later, "This is nothing. Seamus is worse. Oh," he said, remembering something. He turned to Aberforth, "Ab, there might be a couple more people on the way."

"Couple more?" repeated Aberforth. "What d'you mean, a couple more, Longbottom? There's a curfew and a Caterwauling Charm on the whole village!"

Neville looked at him.

"I know, that's why they'll be Apparating directly into the bar," said Neville. "Just send them through the passage when they get here, will you? Thanks a lot."

Neville helped Hermione into the tunnel, and let Ron go and followed him. They waited for Harry, who was thanking Aberforth. He got into the hole, and they started the journey back to Hogwarts. They talked a little bit about what has been going on at Hogwarts while they were away. Neville didn't want to explain, but did. They seemed surprised and confused. He told them about his Gran, and couldn't help but smile as he told them about it. They finished their climb and found themselves in the Room of Requirements.

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

Everyone yelled, and some pulled them into hugs, pounded their backs, shook hands, and whatever else they could.

"Okay, okay, calm down!" Neville yelled, making the crowd give Harry, Ron, and Hermione some room.

Neville and Seamus answered all the questions the trio had. They cheered when they found out that they really broke into Gringotts and about the dragon too.

"What were you after?" Seamus asked. Harry swayed a little and started sweating. Neville offered him a seat.

"No," Harry replied and turned to Ron and Hermione, telling them something.

"What are we going to do, then, Harry?" asked Seamus. "What's the plan?"

"Plan? Well, there's something we – Ron, Hermione, and I – need to do, and then we'll get out of here."

Everyone stopped making noises, and looked confused.

"What d'you mean, 'get out of here'?" Neville asked.

"We haven't come to stay," said Harry. "There's something important we need to do, -"

"What is it?"

"I – I can't tell you."

Some D.A members muttered, wondering why.

"You can't tell us? It's something to do with fighting You – Know – Who, right?"

"Well, yeah, -"

"Then we'll help you."

The D.A members nodded and showed what they would do to help. They wanted to help more than anything.

"You don't understand. We – we can't tell you. We've got to do it – alone."

"Why?" Neville asked. Everyone quieted to hear Harry's answer.

"Because, Dumbledore's left the three of us a job, and we weren't supposed to tell – I mean, he wanted us to do it, just the three of us."

"We're his army, Dumbledore's Army. We were all in it together, we've been keeping it going while you three have been off on your own - "

"It hasn't exactly been a picnic, mate," said Ron.

"I never said it had, but I don't see why you can't trust us. Everyone in this room's been fighting and they've been driven in here because the Carrows were hunting them down. Everyone in here's proven they're loyal to Dumbledore – loyal to you." Neville said.

"Look," Harry started, but the door opened behind him, letting Luna and Dean in.

"We've got your message, Neville! Hello you three," Luna said looking at them, "I thought you must be here!"

Seamus yelled and hugged Dean. Harry muttered something at Neville and he answered, making Luna say "Of course that's what it means, isn't it, Harry? We're going to fight them out of Hogwarts?"

"Listen, I'm sorry, but that's not why we came back for. There's something we've got to do, and then -"

"You're going to leave us in this mess?" demanded Michael.

"No!" said Ron. "What we're doing will benefit everyone in the end, it's all about trying to get rid of You – Know – Who -"

"Then let us help! We want to be a part of it!" Neville yelled, angrily.

The door opened again, this time, letting Ginny, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan. Then, not to long after, Cho Chang came in. Everyone started talking, little things to Harry and him answering, until Harry turned to Neville.

"You've got to stop this! What did you call them all back for? This is insane -"

"We're fighting, aren't we? The message said Harry was back, and we were going to fight! I'll have to get a wand, though -"

Ron turned to Harry and started muttering quietly to him and Hermione. They talked for a couple minutes as everyone else talked to each other as well. The Weasley twins cracking jokes.

"Okay," said Harry loudly, everyone quieted down, waiting for him to talk. "There is something we need to find. Something – something that'll help us overthrow You – Know – Who. It's here at Hogwarts, but we don't know where. It might have belonged to Ravenclaw. Has anyone heard of an object like that? Has anyone ever come across something with her eagle on it, for instance?" He looked at the Ravenclaws, who were all near each other.

"Well, there's her lost diadem," said Luna. "I told you about it, remember, Harry? The lost diadem of Ravenclaw? Daddy's trying to duplicate it."

"Yeah, but the lost diadem," said Michael, "is lost, Luna. That's sort of the point."

They talked about the diadem, Harry asking questions, but the Ravenclaws shook their heads, not knowing where it is. They said they could take him to go see it. Ginny said that Luna will take him, who accepted, Cho looking disappointed. They left, and the room was quiet.
