He sits in the quiet of the Room of Requirement and studies the egg. He forces himself to bear the screeching to look at the inside. There is...what looks to be a bubble of water on the inside, and on a hunch, he takes the egg to the bathroom. He submerges it and finally understands. He goes to Neville Longbottom, not simply because he refuses to go to Ron and Hermione, but because he knows that Neville is more than even he thinks of himself. He is timid, yes, but Harry knows that somewhere in his heart is the next Godric Gryffindor. Part of him wants to shy away from it, that...something that Harry can’t find in himself anymore, but he wants to survive. He finds the Gillyweed and learns alternatives just in case, like a bubble head charm. He even learns a spell to help him move through the water faster.
