The best! "

"It's actually very simple," Neville said modestly. "Before I moved in, Dobby led me to find the passage leading to the Pig's Head Bar. At that time, we only used the Room of Requirement as an entrance. Later, I hid here for a day and a half , was so hungry and was hoping for something to eat, that's when the access to the Hog's Head pub opened. He and Gwen have been feeding us since then, and for some reason, the house can't to this point."

"Yeah, food is one of the five exceptions to 'Gump's Law of Basic Transfiguration'." Ron's words surprised everyone.

"We hid here for about two weeks," Seamus said, "and it made more hammocks whenever we needed it, and then the girls started joining, and it popped up a pretty nice hammock." Where's the bathroom—"

"—because girls want to wash up, yes," went on Lavender Brown, and it was only then that Harry noticed her.Harry looked around carefully and recognized many familiar faces.The Patil twins were there, as were Terry Boot, Ernie MacMillan, Anthony Goldstein and Michael Kerner.

"The Pig's Head Pub can also help us get the props for Weasley's Wizard Wheezes," Michael Corner said enthusiastically, "The Carrows are a headache."

"Tell me what you're up to," Ernie said. "There's been a lot of rumors out there, and we've been keeping up with your latest news from Potter's Watch," he pointed to the radio. Ling Pavilion, right?"

"Break in!" said Neville. "That dragon is real, too!"

There was a burst of applause, a few cheers, and Ron bowed.

"What are you looking for there?" Seamus asked eagerly.

Before any of the three of them interrupted to avoid the question, Harry felt a sudden sharp searing pain in the lightning scar.He quickly turned his back to those curious and excited faces.The Room of Requirement suddenly disappeared. He stood in a dilapidated stone house, the rotting floorboards were torn away at his feet, and a dug out gold box was placed next to the hole, the lid was open, and it was empty. Voldemort cried out angrily. The sound vibrated in his head.

With all his might, he wrenched himself out of Voldemort's thoughts and returned to the Room of Requirement, standing there staggering slightly, his face dripping with sweat, Ron supporting him.

"What's the matter with you, Harry?" It was Neville who said. "Want to sit down? I guess you're tired, aren't you—?"

"No," said Harry.He looked at Ron and Hermione, trying to tell them silently that Voldemort had just discovered that one of his Horcruxes was missing.There was not much time left: if Voldemort chose to come to Hogwarts next, they would have missed their opportunity.

"We're leaving," he said, and the expressions on the faces of his two companions told him that they already knew it.

"So what do we do, Harry?" Seamus asked. "What's the plan?"

"Plan?" Harry repeated.It took all the strength of his will to keep himself from falling into Voldemort's rage again: the scar was still burning and aching. "Well, there's one thing we - Ron, Hermione and I - need to do, and then we'll get out of here."

Nobody laughs or screams anymore.Neville looked confused.

"What did you say, 'Get out of here'?"

"We can't stay here for long this time," said Harry, rubbing his scar to relieve the pain, "there's one important thing we need to do—"

"what's up?"

"I—I can't tell you."

After hearing this, people muttered in low voices, and Neville frowned.

"Why can't you tell us? It's something to do with fighting the mysterious man, right?"

"Oh, yes--"

"Then we will help you."

The other members of Dumbledore's Army also nodded in agreement, some gearing up, some with serious expressions, and two even stood up from their chairs, expressing their desire to take immediate action.

"You don't understand," Harry seemed to say many times in the last few hours, "we - we can't say. We have to - do it on our own."

"Why?" Neville asked.

"Because..." Harry was impatient to begin the search for the missing Horcrux, or at least talk to Ron and Hermione alone about where to start, but he found it difficult to concentrate.The scar still hurts hot. "Dumbledore has a task for the three of us," he said carefully, "and we can't tell—I mean, he wants us to do it, just the three of us."

"We're his army," said Neville, "Dumbledore's army. We're all in this together, and while the three of you are away, we've kept the organization—"

"We're not going on a picnic, man," said Ron.

"I didn't say that, but I don't see why you guys can't trust us. Everyone in this room has been fighting and they've been driven here because the Carrows are after them. Turns out, everyone here is True to Dumbledore - true to yours."

"Well..." Harry started, not knowing what to say, but it didn't matter, the tunnel door opened behind him.

"We've heard from you, Neville! Hey, you three, I knew you'd be here!"

It's Luna and Dean.Seamus gave a yell of ecstasy and rushed to hug his best friend.

"Hey, everyone!" Luna said happily, "Oh, it's great to be back!"

"Luna," said Harry distractedly, "what are you doing here? How do you—?"

"I called her," said Neville, holding up the fake Galleon. "I promised her and Ginny that I would notify them as soon as you showed up. We all thought that your return meant rebellion, that To overthrow Snape and the Carlos."

"Of course it is," said Luna brightly. "Right, Harry? We're going to kick them out of Hogwarts, aren't we?"

"Listen," said Harry, feeling increasingly tense, "I'm sorry, but that's not what we came back for. We've got to do one thing, and then—"

"And leave and leave us in this dire straits?" Michael Kerner demanded.

"No!" said Ron, "what we're going to do will benefit everyone in the end, and it's about how to get rid of You-Know-Who—"

"Then let us help!" Neville said angrily, "We want to do our part too!"

There was another movement behind him, and Harry turned to see that his heart seemed to have stopped: Ginny was crawling in through the hole in the wall, followed by Fred, George, and Lee Jordan.Ginny gave Harry a broad smile, and Harry felt—perhaps never fully realized before—how beautiful Ginny was, but he had never been more unhappy to see her. "

"Aberforth's getting a little pissed," said Fred, raising his hand in response to several loud greetings. "He's trying to sleep. His pub has turned into a train station."

Harry's mouth fell open.Cedric's girlfriend, Cho Chang, was behind Lee Jordan, smiling at him.

"I got the news." Qiu Zhang held up her fake Galleon and said, "For some reason, Cedric asked me to borrow the coin and then returned it to me."

"I happened to catch up with the most difficult passage today." Gwen came in behind her, panting.She closed the little passage door, and George caught her securely below.

"Come on, Harry, what's the plan?" George asked.

"There's no plan," said Harry, still dazed by the sudden appearance of so many people, unable to figure out what was going on, and the scar on his forehead still burning and throbbing.

"Planning as you go, right? That's my favorite thing to do," Fred said.

"You've got to stop them!" Harry said to Neville. "What are you calling them all back for? It's stupid—"

"We're fighting, aren't we?" said Dean, pulling out his fake Galleon. "Words say Harry's back, and we're going to fight! But I've got to get a wand—"

"You don't have a wand—?" Seamus asked curiously.

Ron turned suddenly to Harry.

"Why can't they help?"

"what?"

"They can help," said Ron, in a low voice that no one could hear except Hermione, who stood between him and Harry. "We don't know where that thing is, and we have to find it quickly. We don't have to say That's a Horcrux."

Harry's eyes shifted from Ron to Hermione, and she murmured, "I think Ron is right. We don't even know what we're looking for, we need them." Seeing that Harry was still hesitating , she added: "You don't have to do everything alone, Harry."

Harry was thinking fast, his scar still stinging and his head looking like it was about to split open.Dumbledore had warned him not to tell anyone about the Horcruxes but Ron and Hermione.Secrets and lies, that's how we grow up, and Albus... he's a genius... Could it be that he's turning into Dumbledore, keeping secrets so close to himself that he can't trust anyone else?But Dumbledore trusted Snape, so what happened?Leading to a murder atop a tower...

"Okay." He whispered to his two companions. "Okay." He announced to everyone in the room, and the noise died down immediately. Fred and George, who were telling jokes to the people around them, fell silent, and each of them looked alert and excited.
