Heart of Gold

The Battle Begins

This one is going to be a long one
~Tessa's POV~

A week after Dobby's death, we had robbed Gringotts, freed a dragon, and gotten another horcrux.

Now we were walking through a tunnel that supposedly led to Hogwarts.

We were led by Neville. He was bruised but we could tell that he had grown. Physically and mentally.

He pushed open the wall and stood in front of us.

"Oi! Listen up you lot. Got a surprise for you" he announced

"Better not be more of Aberforth's cooking" someone said.

Aberforth was Dumbledore's brother.

"Nope" Neville said, stepping aside to reveal us.

Everyone started speaking at once.

Suddenly a door opened and in ran Ginny.

We looked at her and she stared at us.

Well not us.

At Harry.

"Harry!" She said before running at and hugging Harry

"Hi there." Harry said with a chuckle

Ron tsked

"Six months she hasn't see me, it's like I'm a Frankie First Year. I'm only her brother..." he said, crossing his arms. I laughed and patted his shoulder

"She's got lots of those, though. There's only one Harry." Seamus said

Ron rolled his eyes "Shut up, Seamus."

Neville looked at Ginny, "What is it, Ginny?" He asked

Ginny pulled away from Harry and looked at the group. "Snape knows." She said, "He knows that Harry and Tessa were spotted in Hogsmeade."

All of the students in front of us stared at the us disapprovingly

"What do we do?" I asked

Neville spoke up.

"Get word out to Remus and the others that the twins are here." He said then turned to us, "what's the plan?"

"Okay. There's something we need to find. Something hidden here in the castle." Harry said

"And it may help us defeat You-Know-Who." I added

"What is it?" Seamus asked

"Well that's just it... We don't know" Harry said, "but it's something to do with Ravenclaw."

"Where is it?" Seamus asked

"We don't know" I said

"So you're telling us that you've come here searching for something but you don't even know what or where it is?" Dean asked, "Great."

"I realize it's not much to go on" I said "but-"

"It's nothing to go on." Seamus interrupted. I glared at him

"Well it'll be small and probably concealed." Harry said, "any ideas?"

"What about Rowena Ravenclaw's lost diadem?" Liam spoke up

"Oh bloody hell here we go again.." Dean mumbled

"Hasn't anyone heard of it?" She asked, "it's quite famous."

"Yes Luna but it's lost" Cho said, "for centuries now. No one alive has seen it"

"Excuse me? Can someone tell me what a bloody diadem is?" Ron said
