This story was an idea of my niece's, and she really wanted me to do something with it. This story is for her, and the ideas were mostly hers; I had to change and add things to make the story work. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy our story.

Summary: Harry, Ron, Hermione and Luna are searching for Voldemort. How will the search end?

Part One

The night was silent and cold. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Luna were walking down the empty, dark dirt road. They had found imformation that Voldemort's last Horcrux was hiding just ahead. They had no idea what was going to be in store when they found it; it really did not matter. They were very close to the end.

Little did they know, Voldemort knew exactally what they were up to.

As they walked they were mostly silent. The search for the Horcruxes had started long ago, at least it seemed. At first it had just been Harry, Hermione, and Ron, but soon enough more people wanted to help. Not many, of course. Only those who really knew what it was about. The ones that really knew what he was capable of. At first they had been hesitant on letting Luna help, and it may seem unlikely, but she had been with them once, and after that it was hard to go back.

So the four of them made their way up the road, the fear they always felt creeping inside them. Thick fog was starting to set upon them, making it harder to see.

"Stay close," Harry said to the group. "It'll be easy to get lost in this."

They drew closer together. "Aren't we almosst there?" Ron asked with a touch of nervousness in his voice.

"Yes," Harry said, squinting ahead.

"Can you believe this is the last one?" Ron said, most likely comforted by the fact that they were so close to the end.

"Well he's still left, of course," Hermione said.

"I know, but at least-"

Hermione stopped. She turned around.

"Hermione?" Luna asked. "Aren't you coming?"

Harry and Ron stopped too.

"We have to go," Harry said firmly.

Hermione was looking around behind her.

"Yeah I know, but-" She looked around at them. She could only clearly see Luna; the boys were merely shadows in the fog. "Don't you hear that?"

"What?" the others asked.

"I-"

But she clearly heard it again.

"Someone's out there!" she said.

"Hermione what-"

But she could not take it any longer; she knew that she shouldn't, but ran off behind her.

"Hermione, what are you doing?" Luna called after her.

Hermione ran in the direction of the voice. She could not understand why the others didn't hear it too. It sounded as though someone needed help.

"Is anybody out there?" she heard the voice say quite clearly, which meant it was close.

Hermione followed the voice and finally saw someone ahead. She slowed down.

"Hello?" she said cautiously.

The figure moved slightly. Hermione raised her wand. She felt utterly surprized.

"Ginny?" she said disbelievingly.

Ginny shook her head, looking terrified.

"Ginny what-?"

And then rang another voice, one sge did not know.

"Stupefy!"
