[HP] Born to be a pair

Chapter 81

During the weeks spent hiding in the Room of Requirement, they tried to live as if they were outside.

Set a schedule - in order to prevent being bored in the room and go crazy - when to wash and when to sleep, and a large part of the time has to be devoted to the old activities of Dumbledore's Army - training and practice.

Many people hid in one after another, with wounds on their faces and bodies. Neville was in charge of changing the number of people—because he had to ask Aberforth for a meal, and Renee was in charge of treating their injuries.

Every corner of the round and wide house is occupied, and the turquoise round candles placed around give off a refreshing fragrance, as if people can see a free and vast wilderness.

Things to pass the time spread from bookshelves and radios to broomstick and gobstone suits, and two battered sets of wizard chess.

Laughter finally broke out in the joyous land that lost the threat and pain.

Neville and Seamus were leaning on it talking as Renee walked up to the narrow staircase hidden behind the cupboard.

"Harry and the others will definitely come back," said Neville. "Didn't we hear they broke into Gringotts yesterday? And escaped on a dragon!"

"But there are too many rumors recently, how can you be sure that it is true?"

"Sooner or later! Maybe today—Renee, are you going out?"

They turned their eyes to Renee who nodded.

"It's my turn today," she said, throwing on a rough woolen cloak with a hood, hiding her pale face in the shadows. "I'll try to bring back some more food."

The two dozen students couldn't always count on Aberforth to bring them food, and there were many more students in the school who were suffering.

So a small staircase leading to the outside world appeared in the Room of Requirement at the right time. They could only go out but not in, and the route out was also random. They had no idea where they would appear after they walked out of the stairs.

"Be careful," Seamus said lazily. "When I walked out yesterday, it happened to be Alecto Carlo's classroom. If Terry hadn't helped attract attention, I would have been discovered."

"You're welcome!" Terry, who just hid in yesterday, shouted loudly.

"Don't worry," Renee said with a relieved smile on her poor and melancholy face, "I'll go to the kitchen first, and then I'll walk around the door of the lounge, and I won't wander around."

Neville handed her the purse that had been emptied. Except for the antidote for the blood curse and the improved blood tonic, all the potions inside were emptied, and the last bit of ointment for treating boils was also applied to Terry's face, just to use Pack food.

"Good luck," he said softly, and leaned in, thrust his face into the shadows, and kissed her on the cheek.

The narrow staircase behind the cupboard appeared, and Renee wrapped herself in a thick woolen cloak and stepped into the black abyss.

After walking a few steps, the torch on the wall lit up. She didn't walk for a long time, perhaps less than 2 minutes, when a solid wall blocked her.

Renee first stopped at the spot and listened carefully. There was no sound of anyone's footsteps, conversation or breathing. She reached out and touched the wall. The moment she touched it, the stone wall melted like a puddle of mud. up.

This was near the Hufflepuff common room - Renee breathed a sigh of relief.It was late at night, and there were no students outside, only Professor Sprout patrolling the neighborhood, which was a good thing.

Everything went amazingly well tonight!In the past, they couldn't steal food from the kitchen every day. Even if the elves were willing to provide it, it was still a long distance from the random place to the kitchen.

Sometimes eating at the Room of Requirement feels like Christmas, and other times it feels like leftovers for cats and dogs.

And today, they can have a good meal again.Renee thought happily.

Yesterday's Potter Watch station reported in real time the news that Harry and others escaped from Gringotts sitting on a fire dragon, which was at least a week earlier than before.

Although not sure, Renee thought that Harry and the others must be coming back soon, maybe today, maybe a week later——

Suddenly, Renee stopped in her tracks, and the leather bag tied around her waist slapped her body, and a burning sensation that could not be ignored came from her chest.

It's Gallon!She frantically tore open the neckline, and took out the faintly hot fake Galleon from the inner pocket. The number on it had changed to: They are back!

The fresh heart was pounding, and she broke free from the chains of shackles. The joy and anticipation of freedom surrounded her, making her steps light and restless.

She ran all the way from the first floor to the eighth floor, the leather bag full of delicious food flapping behind her.

The door of the Room of Requirement has long been blocked, but fortunately she is not a follower of the Carlos, nor are they themselves, so the moment she touched the wall, she returned to the room.

"Renee! It's Renee back!" cried Neville ecstatically. "Did you see that? Harry's back, and Ron and Hermione!"

"Where are they?" Renee searched the room, she saw the long-lost Ginny, Luna, Dean, the Weasley twins, and Cho!

But Harry and the others were never found.

"You're late!" said Ginny. "They all went to the bathroom!"

More people were crawling out of the passage behind her—Professor Lupine, a tall, strong dark man, the usual Gryffindor Quidditch players, three redheads (probably Weasley), and Fleur Delacour, Beauxbatons Triwizard Tournament competitor.

"Please, someone can show me the way," said one of the leading Weasley twins, "I understand that Voldemort is coming in a second, but I have more important 'things' to solve than him now !"

A short round woman with red hair glanced at him, and he immediately shut his mouth, including his brother's mouth, which was about to answer.

There were more noisy footsteps outside, mixed with terrified screams and yells, which made everyone in the room look very restless.

"What's going on outside?" asked Fred Weasley loudly. "Is Harry back? Or is there a war?"

"Oh, I don't know how to explain it to you euphemistically," George said, "It could be that from last year to today, all Voldemorts who claim to have been seen have come!"

With the help of Neville's arm, Renee jumped down from the stairs behind the door and landed firmly on the ground. She told Neville in a low voice: "After we go out, try to block the weakly protected positions."

"I know, don't worry," Neville said confidently, "Devil's net, mandrake, antidote—I've hidden them all in the castle."

"One more thing, you must pay attention to safety." She could feel her heart beating, it was a symphony of nervousness and timidity, and now what she was most afraid of seeing was none other than Neville's corpse.

"And you?" Neville asked, "maybe you can stay in the room..."

Renee frowned, and immediately interrupted him: "I want to join the fight too, don't try to trap me here!"

Neville didn't speak, and the expression on his face was unpredictable: "But, you have died several times."

"So what?" said Renee. "I'm still afraid of death, but I'm no longer afraid of Voldemort! If I have a chance of dying whether I choose to fight or not, why don't I choose to fight?"

"Look! Harry is back!"

Luna interrupted them, pointing to the landing above the stairs.

Everyone looked up her fingers and saw Harry almost fell down the stairs in surprise.

"You—why are you here?" He looked at the group of latecomers and asked, and then added anxiously, "Time is running out! Everyone pack up first and go to the auditorium to assemble!"

"But we'll be caught by the Carlos!" said a second-year Hufflepuff timidly.

"They're no longer a problem," said Harry simply, "the Carrows are down, Snape's gone—"

Before the surprised crowd burst into cheers, he continued, "Voldemort is coming, and we are going to fight."

After a brief silence, roars rang out overwhelmingly, and people raised their wands and rushed towards the stairs one after another. The war had begun, and they chose to fight!

"Renee, let's go!" Neville grinned and stretched out his hand to her, making the hideous scar look even more terrifying.

However, she also smiled, took off the thick woolen cloak on her body and resumed a suit that was convenient for movement, and took two steps forward to hold his hand.

They ran to Harry on the platform, and before leaving, Renee signaled Neville to wait a moment, then turned and looked at the Savior on the wall.

"Harry," Renee whispered to his puzzled look, "is the Hufflepuff and Slytherin - 'stuff' all sorted out?"

Harry's eyes changed instantly, he stared at her in amazement, and murmured: "So it was you! Dumbledore once said that he was given a diadem—wait a moment, please,"

He looked at Neville embarrassingly. Neville was a little puzzled, but he still said to Renee considerately, "Then, I'll wait for you outside the door first."

After Neville left, Harry asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, has your Patronus changed recently?"

Renee looked at him in bewilderment, shook her wrist slightly and called out, "Call God to protect——"

The familiar raven gathered and formed from the gradually drifting silver smoke, and circled around the two people standing on the platform. It was condensed, mature, and shining with silver light. It was a very powerful patron saint.

But Harry's face was full of disappointment.

"It's been resolved," he quickly withdrew his expression, and said seriously, "One was resolved when we were fleeing, and the other was taken by Ron and Hermione—it should be being resolved now."

"Why aren't you together?" Renee asked.

"On the way we met Amycus Carrow, and things weren't going well. He summoned Voldemort, was knocked down, and then attracted Snape," he said with some disgust. "Ron with the gold cup , I'll cover for the two of them to leave first—to make a long story short, Professor McGonagall came to chase Snape away, and now Voldemort is coming, so we have to go to the Great Hall to assemble."

"Okay, I know, I'll go right away. It's just - Harry, did Dumbledore tell you how many there are? If I help find the Ravenclaw diadem, it proves that you can still find it in other places." They are counting on me!"

"Wh-no, I'm sorry, Renee," Harry said alertly, "You wiped out the diadem, I'm grateful, but the rest can only be done by me, Ron and Hermione, this is Dumbledore." The mission Lido gave us—just the three of us."

"Can't—?" Renee looked at him disappointedly.

And Harry could only shake his head firmly and regretfully, skipping her and walking towards the Weasleys.

Mrs. Weasley was lecturing them, blaming the brothers for bringing Ginny here, with eyes fixed on her like a beast and a god like no one else but their mother.

And Ginny raised her face stubbornly, and refused to agree to go back without saying anything.Renee took one last look at the mother and daughter, and slammed out of the wall without hesitation, leaving with Neville.

The enchanted ceiling of the auditorium was still unlit, dark and filled with suffocating moisture, and looked as if it was about to cry.

Most of the students had been evacuated to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor, where the passage to the Hog's Head pub still existed, from which they could travel to Hogsmeade.

Naturally, Renee stayed behind with most of her familiar classmates. She went up to find Professor McGonagall and told her all the places she and Neville had been strengthening during this time.

"I think these places are easier to be blasted," Renee said, "so the protective magic is laid in advance, but it may need to be reinforced-in this way, the castle will be difficult to break through, we only need to maintain the scene in the castle. Outside."

Professor McGonagall was a little surprised, and at the same time praised: "Excellent! Hawke, you and Longbottom are both excellent! Then, now please join your team and protect our Hogwarts!"

The author has something to say:

It's almost the end...after fighting the war, it will be over in two or three chapters.

This chapter has been changed!I have learned from the suggestions of the treasures, so I can watch it again~
