Hermione stood in front of the Vanishing Cabinet in The Room of Requirements, holding the door open. It had only been a few months since she had managed to make it work properly. It was Peter’s idea - rest his soul - to convince Lucius to make the purchase of the Cabinet’s twin from Borgins and Burkes and then place it at Riddle Manor inside the Fidelity Room. The ancient artifact had a minor fault on the Portal Charm and the connection had been severed. Once the issue was located, Hermione had it restored to its former glory in no time. Wormtail had volunteered personally to serve as the first test subject, successfully passing through to the Room of Requirements at Hogwarts, giving her direct access in and out the school grounds without restrictions or risks to be seen. Only Lucius, Peter and her were privy to this breakthrough. Until now.
