'Finally, they reached the end, and Neville emerged from the tunnel into a wide-open space full of students. "Hey, you lots!" He announced, drawing attention to himself. "It's for your surprise."

Seamus grumbled, "No more about Aberforth's cook's gonna help," he stood up from below the platform that lined the wall to serve as a step for the hole in the wall.

Neville shook his head and stepped aside, allowing Harry to step out. He could see the majority of the DA group among many more students in the Room of Requirement. Hammocks were hanging and the floor lined with mattresses and books. It appears that they were hiding out in the room.

"Hey." The entire room cheered.

Edward watched from behind as the crowd gathered around the trio, happy to see them and cheer them on. Having seen Harry's memories in the past few days did not prepare him for the thoughts and looked on everyone else's faces as they saw Harry. Harry was their hope, their salvation, and their leader. They respected him, relied on him, and trusted him. He was taken aback by how much respect Harry had in this world. He frowned and slinked back into the shadow, watching on. A heavy feeling in his gut grew. He knew he could not ever take Harry away from this world. They needed him.

He saw a red-haired girl ran into the room and paused in front of Harry. The way they looked at each other, he knew who she was. She was the girl that Harry loved at one time, had thought of possibly having a future with. She ran up to him and hugged him but flinched and stepped back. But she did not mention how changed Harry was but warned that Headmaster Snape knew Harry was here and was calling for all students to go to the Great Hall.

"Who's that?" Cho asked as she looked up to the hole, spotting someone in the shadow.
