The Room of Requirement

"What is a significant place for Riddle?"

"Well. You said Dumbledore got one from the Gaunt home, right? Maybe he gave you other hints as to where more are hidden?"I suggested. "I really don't know.."

I entered just as Hermione's voice trailed off and was filled with a happiness that was beyond me to describe. "Harry! Hermione! We were looking for you-I mean Luna and I were! We were worried because we wanted to help, and then Luna... well she got hurt, and I couldn't just leave her there! But Professor McGonagall helped us to the hospital wing... The others stayed. I'm sorry that I can't say I know what happened to them..." my voice echoed on the walls leaving an eerie silence. Harry and Hermione seemed a bit stunned by my appearance. Maybe I could have calmed myself some before I started off... I didn't blame them.

"Cho!" I exclaimed as she entered and finished speaking. "Wait, what happened?" I asked looking from her to Harry. "Luna got hurt? What others?"

"Members of the order, the ones that were there anyway. I think there were two of them. And yes, Luna got hit by a Death Eater and was slammed into a wall. I think she'll be fine though. She just needs to rest..."

"Well, I'm glad she's alright. I mean, dueling with Death Eaters can be dangerous, especially some of them more than others, and I'm sure if the Order was here, then they were dueling some of the best," I nodded, almost forgetting the conversation I'd been having with Harry a moment ago.

"Yes," I agreed and turned to Harry who seemed deep in thought. I shifted my weight to my other leg tensely. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to interrupt..."

"No! Don't be!" I said quickly. "I mean, it's good to know you're all okay, we were just trying to plan the.... next step, towards ending this, I mean,"

I nodded. "Yeah. I understand..." I turned to Harry for him to explain what he was thinking.

"I think there has got to be a Horcrux somewhere here, at Hogwarts. The two places that we've found them have significance to Riddle. Hogwarts was definitely a significant place for him. He thought of it as his home, remember Hermione?"

I instantly started thinking of place in the castle that could have been significant to such an evil soul.

"Well, I really don't know, what place in the castle would be significant to him? Maybe the Slytherin Common Room? But would he be able to hide something there.... wait. Hide. Harry! You hid your book in here last year right?" I asked, wondering if he'd catch what I meant.

I nodded, "Yeah...but what does that...." I trailed off, "There are tons of artifacts here to look through Hermione!"

I zoned back into the conversation as it seemed to ignite. Something about artifacts here? I glanced around.

"Umm, well, I'm sure there's got to be something that has been missing long enough for him to have used it," I sighed, starting to look around. "But a load of this stuff looks really old,"

I frowned, "Yeah. Accio Horcrux!" Nothing happened.

I shook my head. "He probably has quite a bit of protection on it," I told Harry. "We'll have to find something else to help us solve this, we need more information,"

I stared around the room again to see if anything would happen but nothing... This would've been a good place to hide something. I sighed. Perhaps it was something so obvious no one would guess it? I floated over to various old items attracted and held one gingerly acknowledging it's frailty.

I sighed, "Okay. Where should we go first?"

"Well, there is somewhere I think we could hide for the time being, until we find more information," I sighed. "I don't know where to start looking though,"

I nodded, "Let's go before the Anti-Apparation charm is put back up."

I looked from Harry to Cho, wondering if she was coming as well. "Alright, side-along apparation then?" I asked

I placed the thin book back down and turned back to them with hazy thoughts.

Harry: I nodded and looked at Cho, "I'm not leaving you here unless you want to stay here. I'm ok with taking you with us....until we find somewhere for you to hide."

"I'll come with you," I said quietly. I had no intention of hiding, none what so ever, but I could help them if I went along with them at least.
