"So Harry, when do you want to leave?"
"I told you already Ron, I don't know. I don't even know where to begin on this quest, and you know we're screwed when Hermione doesn't know where to begin either."
"Harry Potter, don't you start in on me again."
"I'm not starting on you Hermione. I just don't know where to start looking for the Horcruxes at. The only reason why we even know what they are is because I had to trick Slughorn into telling me what they are. I just wish Dumbledore would have left us some sort of clue on what to look for. I'm just so frustrated with the whole thing right now."
"I think we should start at Hogwarts."
"Ron, I don't think McGonagall is going to let us just waltz into Hogwarts and start looking there. Besides, you know that Dumbledore said he never let Riddle back in the school once he left. Do you honestly think Riddle could have committed murder back then right under Dumbledore's nose?"
"All the Defense professors got right under his nose, and they were all trying to kill you. It's possible that he could have done it without Dumbledore knowing about it."
"Well I think we should start at one of the local wizard libraries. They might have a book on how to recognize them."
"Think about it Hermione… If there are books on Horcruxes, then how are we going to get a hold of them without raising suspicions? It's not like we can 'borrow' them. It is a magical library."
"I know, but we have to start somewhere, and we need to start soon. We can't just sit here until one of us comes up with an idea. I say we just get out there and start looking, because if we don't, we are going to be looking forever."
Just then the door swung wide open, with a red haired girl framed in the doorway.
"Where are you guys running off to, and why haven't you told Mom and Dad?"
"Ginny, how much did you hear?"
"I heard all of it Ronald, and if you don't tell me what is going on right now, I am going to go to Mom and Dad about it, and if you think I'm joking, try me!"
"Damn it Ginny. We are doing something that Dumbledore asked us to so we can get rid of You-Know-Who."
"Then I am going with you. Tell me when we are leaving so that I can get packed."
"No Ginny", Harry said, "We have to do this on our own. We can't afford to let you get hurt. It's bad enough that Ron and Hermione are coming along, but I can't stop them."
"You can't stop me either. I love you, and I don't want to lose you. I am going to go with you, and you can't say anything to change my mind."
"Ron, Hermione, help me out here."
"I'm sorry mate, but once she has her mind set on something, there is nothing that we can do to stop her."
"Hermione?"
"I'm with Ron on this one Harry, but for a different reason. You know that Dumbledore said that all of this is based on love, and you know that you love Ginny. I can't in good conscience ask her to stay when me and Ron are going with you."
"Damn! Fine you can go, but I swear if you get hurt, I am going to kill you."
"I love you too Harry."
