"Blimey, Neville," said Ron, "there's a time and a p[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] for getting a smart mouth." "You didn't see her," said Neville. "You wouldn't have stood it either. The thing is, it helps when people stand up to them, it gives everyone hope. I used to notice that when you did it, Harry." "But they've used you as a knife sharpener," said Ron, winding slightly as they passed a lamp and Neville's injuries were thrown into even greater relief. Neville shrugged. "Doesn't matter. They don't want to spill too much pure blood, so they'll torture us a bit if we're mouthy but they won't actually kill us." Harry did not know what was worse, the things that Neville was saying or the matter-of-fact tone in which he said them. "The only people in real danger are the ones whose friends and relatives on the outside are giving trouble. They get taken hostage. Old Xeno Lovegood was getting a bit too outspoken in \iThe Quibbler\i, so they dragged Luna off the train on the way back for Christmas." "Neville, she's all right, we've seen her -" "Yeah, I know, she managed to get a message to me." From his pocket he pulled a golden coin, and Harry recognized it as one of the fake Galleons that Dumbledore's Army had used to send one another messages. "These have been great," said Neville, beaming at Hermione. "The Carrows never rumbled how we were communicating, it drove them mad. We used to sneak out at night and put graffiti on the walls: \iDumbledore's Army, Still Recruiting\i, stuff like that. Snape hated it." "You \iused to\i?" said Harry, who had noticed the past tense. "Well, it got more difficult as time went one," said Neville. "We lost Luna at Christmas, and Ginny never came back after Easter, and the three of us were sort of the leaders. The Carrows seemed to know I was behind a lot of it, so they started coming down on me hard, and then Michael Corner went and got caught releasing a first-year they'd chained up, and they tortured him pretty badly. That scared people off." "No kidding," muttered Ron,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as the passage began to slope upward. "Yeah, well, I couldn't ask people to go through what Michael did, so we dropped those kinds of stunts. But we were still fighting, doing underground stuff, right up until a couple of weeks ago. That's when they decided there was only one way to stop me, I suppose, and they went for Gran." "They \iwhat\i?" said Harry, Ron, and Hermione together. "Yeah," said Neville, panting a little now, because the passage was climbing so steeply, "well, you can see their thinking. It had worked really well, kidnapping kids to force their relatives to behave. I s'pose it was only a matter of time before they did it the other way around. Thing was," he faced them, and Harry was astonished to see that he was grinning, "they bit off a bit more than they could chew with Gran. Little old witch living alone, they probably thought hey didn't need to send anyone particularly powerful. Anyway,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Neville laughed, "Dawlish is still in St. Mungo's and Gran's on the run. She sent me a letter," he clapped a hand to the breast pocket of his robes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "telling me she was proud of me, that I'm my parent's son, and to keep it up." "Cool," said Ron. "Yea," said Neville happily. "Only thing was, once they realized they had no hold over me, they decided Hogwarts could do without me after all. I don't know whether they were planning to kill me or send me to Azkaban, either way, I knew it was time to disappear." "But," said Ron, looking thoroughly confused, "aren't - aren't we heading straight back for Hogwarts?" "'Course," said Neville. "You'll see. We're here." They turned a corner and there ahead of them was the end of the passage. Another short flight of steps led to a door just like the one hidden behind Ariana's portrait. Neville pushed it open and climbed through. As Harry followed, he heard Neville call out for unseen people: "Look who it is! Didn't I tell you?" As Harry emerged into the room behind the passage, there were several screams and yells: "HARRY!" "It's Potter, it's POTTER!" "Ron!" "\iHermione!\i" He had a confused impression of colored hangings, of lamps and many faces. The next moment, he, Ron, and Hermione were engulfed, hugged, pounded on the back, their hair ruffled, their hands shaken, by what seemed to be more than twenty people. They might have just won a Quidditch final. "Okay, okay, calm down!" Neville called, and as the crowd backed away, Harry was able to take in their surroundings.
