I　can　act　from　here；〃　said　Flitwick；　and　although　he　could　barely　see　out　of　it；　he　pointed　his　wand　through　the　smashed　window　and　started　muttering　incantations　of　great　complexity。　Harry　heard　a　weird　rushing　noise；　as　though　Flitwick　had　unleashed　the　power　of　the　wind　into　the　grounds。
〃Professor；〃　Harry　said；　approaching　the　little　Charms　master。　〃Professor；　I'm　sorry　to　interrupt；　but　this　is　important。　Have　you　got　any　idea　where　the　diadem　of　Ravenclaw　is？〃
〃a150a150iProtego　Horribillisa150a150ithe　diadem　of　Ravenclaw？〃　squeaked　Flitwick。　〃A　little　extra　wisdom　never　goes　amiss；　Potter；　but　I　hardly　think　it　would　be　much　use　in　ithisi　situation！〃
〃I　only　meant　a150a150　do　you　know　where　it　is？　Have　you　ever　seen　it？〃
〃Seen　it〃　Nobody　has　seen　it　in　living　memory！　Long　since　lost；　boy。〃
Harry　felt　a　mixture　of　desperate　disappointment　and　panic。　What；　then；　was　the　Horcrux？
〃We　shall　meet　you　and　your　Ravenclaws　in　the　Great　Hall；　Filius！〃　said　Professor　McGonagall；　beckoning　to　Harry　and　Luna　to　follow　her。
They　had　just　reached　the　door　when　Slughorn　rumbled　into　speech。
〃My　word；〃　he　puffed；　pale　and　sweaty；　his　walrus　mustache　aquiver。　〃What　a　to…do！　I'm　not　at　all　sure　whether　this　is　wise；　Minerva。　He　is　bound　to　find　a　way　in；　you　know；　and　anyone　who　has　tried　to　delay　him　will　be　in　the　most　grievous　perila150a150〃
〃I　shall　expect　you　and　the　Slytherins　in　the　Great　Hall　in　twenty　minutes　also。〃　said　Professor　McGonagall。　〃If　you　wish　to　leave　with　your　students；　we　shall　not　stop　you。　But　if　any　of　you　attempt　to　sabotage　our　resistance　or　take　up　arms　against　us　within　this　castle；　then；　Horace；　we　duel　to　kill。〃
〃Minerva！〃　he　said；　aghast。
〃The　time　has　come　for　Slytherin　House　to　decide　upon　its　loyalties；〃　interrupted　Professor　McGonagall。　〃Go　and　wake　your　students；　Horace。〃
Harry　did　not　stay　to　watch　Slughorn　splutter。　He　and　Luna　stayed　after　Professor　McGonagall；　who　had　taken　up　a　position　in　the　middle　of　the　corridor　and　raised　her　wand。
〃iPiertotumia150a150oh；　for　heaven's　sake；　Filch；　not　inowa150a150i〃
The　aged　caretaker　had　just　come　hobbling　into　view；　shouting　〃Students　out　of　bed！　Students　in　the　corridors！〃
〃They're　supposed　to　be　you　blithering　idiot！〃　shouted　McGonagall。　〃Now　go　and　do　something　constructive！　Find　Peeves！〃
'P…Peeves？〃　stammered　Filch　as　though　he　had　never　heard　the　name　before。
〃Yes；　iPeevesi；　you　fool；　iPeeves！i　Haven't　you　been　complaining　about　him　for　a　quarter　of　a　century？　Go　and　fetch　him；　at　once。
Filch　evidently　thought　Professor　McGonagall　had　taken　leave　of　her　senses；　but　hobbled　away；　hunch…shouldered；　muttering　under　his　breath。
〃And　nowa150a150iPiertotum　Locomator！i〃　cried　Professor　McGonagall。　And　all　along　the　corridor　the　statues　and　suits　of　armor　jumped　down　from　their　plinths；　and　from　the　echoing　crashes　from　the　floors　above　and　below；　Harry　knew　that　their　fellows　throughout　the　castle　had　done　the　same。
〃Hogwarts　is　threatened！〃　shouted　Professor　McGonagall。　〃Man　the　boundaries；　protect　us；　do　your　duty　to　our　school！〃
Clattering　and　yelling；　the　horde　of　moving　statues　stampeded　past　Harry；　some　of　them　smaller；　others　larger　than　life。　There　were　animals　too；　and　the　clanking　suits　of　armor　brandished　swords　and　spiked　balls　on　chains。
〃Now；　Potter；〃　said　McGonagall。；　〃you　and　Miss　Lovegood　had　better　return　to　your　friends　and　bring　them　to　the　Great　Hall　a150a150　I　shall　rouse　the　other　Gryffindors。〃
They　parted　at　the　top　of　the　next　staircase；　Harry　and　Luna　turning　back　toward　the　concealed　entrance　to　the　Room　of　Requirement。　As　they　ran；　they　met　crowds　of
students；　most　wearing　traveling　cloaks　over　their　pajamas；　being　shepherded　down　to　the　Great　Hall　by　teachers　and　prefects。
〃That　was　Potter！〃
〃iHarry　Potter！〃i
〃It　was　him；　I　swear；　I　just　saw　him！〃
〃But　Harry　did　not　look　back；　and　at　last　they　reached　the　entrance　to　the　Room　of　Requirement；　Harry　leaned　against　the　enchanted　wall；　which　opened　to　admit　them；　and　he　and　Luna　sped　back　down　the　steep　staircase。
〃Wha150a150？〃
As　the　room　came　into　view；　Harry　slipped　down　a　few　stairs　in　shock。　It　was　packed；　far　more　crowded　than　when　he　had　last　been　in　there。　Kingsley　and　Lupin　were　looking　up　at　him；　as　were　Oliver　Wood；　Katie　Bell；　Angelina　Johnson　and　Alicia　Spinnet；　Bill　and　Fleur；　and　Mr。　and　Mrs。　Weasley。
〃Harry；　what's　happening？〃　said　Lupin；　meeting　him　at　the　foot　of　the　stairs。
〃Voldemort's　on　his　way；　they're　barricading　he　schoola150a150Snape's　run　for　ita150a150What　are　you　doing　here？　How　did　you　know？
〃We　sent　messages　to　the　rest　of　Dumbledore's　Army；〃　Fred　explained。　〃You　couldn't　expect　everyone　to　miss　the　fun；　Harry；　and　the　D。A。　let　the　Order　of　the　Phoenix　know；　and　it　all　kind　of　snowballed。〃
〃What　first；　Harry？〃　called　George。　〃What's　going　on？〃
〃They're　evacuating　the　younger　kids　and　everyone's　meeting　in　the　Great　Hall　to　get　organized；〃　Harry　said。　〃We're　fighting。〃
There　was　a　great　roar　and　a　surge　toward　the　stairs；　he　was　pressed　back　against　he　wall　as　they　ran　past　hi；　the　mingled　members　of　the　Order　of　the　Phoenix；　Dumbledore's　Army；　and　Harry's　old　Quidditch　team；　all　with　their　wands　drawn；　heading　up　into　the　main　castle。
〃Come　on；　Luna；〃　Dean　called　as　he　passed；　holding　out　his　free　hand；　she　took　it　and　followed　him　back　up　the　stairs。
The　crowd　was　thinning。　Only　a　little　knot　of　people　remained　below　in　the　Room　of　Requirement；　and　Harry　joine3d　them。　Mrs。　Weasley　was　struggling　with　Ginny。　Around　them　stood　Lupin；　Fred；　George；　Bill　and　Fleur。
〃You're　underage！〃　Mrs。　Weasley　shouted　at　her　daughter　as　Harry　approached　〃I　won't　permit　it！　The　boys；　yes；　but　you；　you've　got　to　go　home！〃
〃I　won't！〃
〃Ginny's　hair　flew　as　she　pulled　her　arm　out　of　her　mother's　grip。
〃I'm　in　Dumbledore's　Armya150a150〃
〃A　teenagers'　gang！〃
〃A　teenagers'　gang　that's　about　to　take　him　on；　which　no　one　else　has　dared　to　do！〃　said　Fred。
〃She's　sixteen！〃　shouted　Mrs。　Weasley。　〃She's　not　old　enough！　What　you　two　were　thinking　bringing　her　with　youa151…〃
Fred　and　George　looked　slightly　ashamed　of　themselves。
Mom's　right；　Ginny；〃　said　Bill　gently。　〃You　can't　do　this。　Everyone　underage　will　have　to　leave；　it's　only　right。〃
〃I　can't　go　home！〃　Ginny　shouted；　angry　tears　sparkling　in　her　eyes。　〃my　whole　family's　here；　I　can't　stand　waiting　there　alone　and　not　knowing　and　a150a150〃
Her　eyes　met　Harry's　for　the　first　time。　She　looked　at　him　beseechingly；　but　he　shook　his　head　and　she　turned　away　bitterly。
〃Fine；〃　she　said；　staring　at　the　entrance　to　the　tunnel　back　to　the　Hog's　Head。　〃I'll　say　good…by　now；　then；　anda150a150〃
There　was　a　scuffling　and　a　great　thump。　Someone　else　had　clambered　out　of　the　tunnel；　overbalanced　slightly；　and　fallen。　He　pulled　himself　up　no　the　nearest　chair；　looked　around　through　lopsided　horn…rimmed　glasses；　and　said；　〃Am　I　too　late？　Has　it　started。　I　only　just　found　out；　so　I　a150a150　I　a150a150〃
Percy　spluttered　into　silence。　Evidently　he　had　not　expected　to　run　into　most　of　his　family。　There　was　a　long　moment　of　astonishment；　broken　by　Fleur　turning　to　Lupin　and　saying；　in　a　wildly　transparent　attempt　to　break　the　tension。　〃Soa150a150　'ow　eez　leetle　Teddy？〃
Lupin　blinked　at　her；　startled。　The　silence　between　the　Weasleys　seemed　to　be　solidifying；　like　ice。
〃I　a150a150　oh　yesa150a150　he's　fine！〃　Lupin　said　loudly。　〃yes；　Tonks　is　with　hima150a150　at　her　mother's　a150a150〃
Percy　and　the　other　Weasleys　were　still　staring　at　one　another；　frozen。
〃Here；　I've　got　a　picture？〃　Lupin　shouted；　pulling　a　photograph　from　inside　his　jacket　and　showing　it　to　Fleur　and　Harry；　who　saw　a　tiny　baby　with　a　tuft　of　bright　turquoise　hair；　waving　fat　fists　at　the　camera。
〃I　was　a　fool！〃　Percy　roared；　so　loudly　that　Lupin　nearly　dropped　his　photograph。　〃I　was　an　idiot；　I　was　a　pompous　prat；　I　was　a　…　a　a150a150〃
〃Ministry…loving；　family…disowning；　power…hungry　moron；〃　said　Fred。
Percy　swallowed。
〃Yes；　I　was！〃
〃Well；　you　can't　say　fairer　than　that；〃　said　Fred；　holding　his　hand　out　to　Percy。
Mrs。　Weasley　burst　into　tears；。　She　ran　forward；　pushed　Fred　aside；　and　pulled　Percy　into　a　strangling　hug；　while　he　patted　her　on　the　back；　his　eyes　on　his　father。
〃I'm　sorry；　Dad；〃　Percy　said。
Mr。　Weasley　blinked　rather　rapidly；　then　he　too　hurried　to　hug　his　son。
〃What　made　you　see　sense；　Perce？〃　inquired　George。
〃It's　been　coming　on　for　a　while；〃　said　Percy；　mopping　his　eyes　under　his　glasses　with　a　corner　of　his　traveling　cloak。　〃But　I　had　to　find　a　way　out　and　it's　not　so　easy　at　the　Ministry；　they're　imprisoning　traitors　all　the　time。　I　managed　to　make　contact　with　Aberforth　and　he　tipped　me　off　ten　minutes　ago　that　Hogwarts　was　going　to　make　a　fight　of　it；　so　here　I　am。〃
〃Well；　we　do　look　to　our　prefects　to　take　a　lead　at　times　such　as　these；〃　said　George　in　a　good　imitation　of　Percy's　most　pompous　manner。　〃Now　let's　get　upstairs　and　fight；　or　all　the　good　Death　Eaters'll　be　taken。〃
〃So；　you're　my　sister　in…law　now？〃　Said　Percy；　shaking　hands　with　Fleur　as　they　hurried　off　toward　the　staircase　with　Bill；　Fred；　and　George。
〃Ginny！〃　barked　Mrs。　Weasley。
Ginny　had　been　attempting；　under　cover　of　the　reconciliations　to　sneak　upstairs　too。
〃Molly；　how　about　this；〃　said　Lupin。　〃Why　doesn't　Ginny　stay　here　；　then　at　least　she'll　be　on　the　scene　and　know　what's　going　on；　but　she　won't　be　in　the　middle　of　the　fighting？〃
〃Ia150a150〃
〃That's　a　good　idea；〃　said　Mr。　Weasley　firmly；　〃　Ginny；　you　stay　in　this　room；　you　hear　me？〃
Ginny　did　not　seem　to　like　the　idea　much；　but　under　her　father's　unusually　stern　gaze；　she　nodded。　Mr。　and　Mrs。　Weasley　and　Lupin　headed　off　to　the　stairs　as　well。
〃Where's　Ron？〃　asked　Harry；　〃Where's　Hermione？〃
〃They　must　have　gone　up　the　Great　Hall　already；〃　Mr。　Weasley　called　over　his　shoulder。
〃　I　didn't　see　them　pass　me；〃　said　Harry。
〃They　said　something　about　a　bathroom；〃　said　Ginny；　〃not　long　after　you　left。〃
〃A　bathroom？〃
Harry　strode　across　the　room　to　an　open　door　leading　off　the　Room　of　Requirement　and　checked　the　bathroom　beyond。　It　was　empty。
〃You're　sure　they　said　batha150a150？〃
But　then　his　scar　seared　and　the　Room　of　Req1uirement　vanished。　He　was　looking　through　the　high　wrought…iron　gates　with　winged　boats　on　pill
