Harry and Hermione sat facing each other as they stared down at the Stone of Resurrection still nestled in its fitting on the Peverell family ring. "So this ring has power over life and death, able to resurrect anyone?" asks Hermione, Harry confirms it "what is with evil villains and rings of power?" she comments, Harry chortles.

"One Ring to rule them all," says Harry, "One Ring to find them," continues Hermione, "One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them" they say in perfect harmony before bursting out in laughter. "What are you two laughing about?" asks a confused Ron, annoyed about being left out of the joke… again. "Oh, about evil rings and such," replies Harry. Suddenly Hermione sits up ramrod straight "The Ring of Power was a horcrux," states Hermione; Harry looks at her in confusion so she explains further. "Sauron didn't die; his soul remained bound to the living world as long as the ring existed. Not only that the ring would possess its wearer, spreading seeds of anger, distrust and jealousy to prevent its destruction."

Harry openly gaps as he realises she's right "what ring of power, and who is Sauron, don't tell me there's another dark lord for us to defeat" whines Ron, "don't worry Ron, he's already been defeated" says Hermione patting him on the shoulder condescendingly, "and the Horcrux was destroyed." "Wish we had had a volcano, we could have just dropped all the dam things in there and chucked moldyshorts and his dam snake in there and been done with it," commented Harry dryly. "I know, would have been nice having an un-crowned king, and elf, a dwarf and a bunch of hobbits helping us. Not only that but Dumbledore wouldn't have stayed dead, he'd have come back dressed in white and brought a whole lot of eagles," commented Hermione, "instead all we had was Ron," she concluded in distaste. "Could've been worse, at least we didn't have a Gollum character trying to steal the horcruxes," states Hermione, "actually we did, Griphook stole the Sword of Gryffindor, remember?" concludes Harry pocketing the ring and standing up as Hermione stood up to follow him. "Hey Hermione, want to go on a holiday?" asks Harry, "sure, where to?" she asks, "I was thinking a cruise to the west or something?" he suggests as they walk off leaving Ron all alone worrying about Dark Lord Sauron and volcanos.
