"Luna will take Harry won't you Luna?"
"Ooh, yes I would like to."
When they were gone Ana signed her thanks to her cousin, who smiled. Ginny knew damn well sending Cho with Harry was not in Harry's best interest. Nor would it make Ana feel any better. To that end she was not likely to let Harry out of her sight again for a long time, so she took off after him and Luna. When caught up Harry stopped for a moment and took her hand. "No. stay back there. You're in no condition for an adventure right now."
'You're not going anywhere without me.'
"Harry," Luna cautioned, "It's nighttime. According to Neville it's not as safe as it used to be. We should keep moving."
Unable to argue, Harry grabbed onto Ana with his arm around her and ushered her ahead of him. Together the three strode silently through the corridors is search of the statue that depicted Rowena Ravenclaw wearing her diadem.
Ana couldn't know what Harry was thinking , but her guess was he was contemplating their times sneaking about the school over the years. And not just when it was a necessary act to solve some problem. There were other times too. Like the time they had snuck out to the grounds towards the end of the fifth year and went swimming in the lake. That hadn't been the plan; the intent was merely a walk. Harry had suggested they jump in. They stripped to their underwear and frolicked about in the inky black water, lit only by the moon. The memory made her smile.
Thinking of their private moments made Ana recall a time the previous year, toward the end, when they made their way to the room of requirement without the D.A. in tow since its dismemberment. They were alone and simply enjoying some time inside. Harry was trying to occupy the room during a time when Malfoy would need it, hoping that he would notice someone trying to come in and thereby catch Malfoy (what they would do with him upon catching him, Ana had no idea, nor did she suspect did Harry), but soon enough he and Ana had made themselves comfortable on the large squashy couch that the room had provided and ended up snuggling together, trading sweet words and kisses. They fell asleep and awoke early the next morning to a room provided alarm clock, having just enough time before classes. Thanks to Ana's quick wand work their school clothes from the day before appeared neatly pressed and clean, their hair neatly redone to hide the bed head, and their books were summoned to them. Harry made the excuse that they were checking to room when Hermione asked and the day's lessons were passed with short glances and warm smiles to one another.
Before long Harry, Ana, and Luna were standing before a large statue. Ravenclaw stood before them with a cold gaze on her face. Upon he head was a tiara fir for a princess. Though Ana had no idea why a teacher would have one, she now had a rather good idea of where they could possibly find such a thing. The problem was asking the Room of Requirement for the correct kind of room.
There was a call from behind them in the corridor. The trio turned to find the Carrows, crowing out the arrival of the Chosen One.
