PAGES: 571-572

Neville Longbottom is overjoyed to see Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they emerge from the tunnel into Hogwarts. He appears battered but resilient, explaining how the curfew and Caterwauling Charm on the village make it difficult for others to join them. Neville helps them through the tunnel leading into the Room of Requirement, where Dumbledore's Army has been hiding.
