The Ring

Albus Dumbledore and Alastor Moody are about to enter an old shack. "Are you sure You-Know-Who's mother grew up at this place?" Moody asks.

"Unfortunately yes, Alastor." Dumbledore answers. "Bob Ogden's memories confirmed it."

"In that case let's see if there's a Horcrux around here or not." Dumbledore says as he and Moody enter the shack. Thanks to his Mad-Eye, Moody quickly finds a hidden box. Once Dumbledore opens it and finds a ring, he recognizes the stone engraved on it and prepares himself to put on the ring until he hears Moody yelling "Stop!" Dumbledore realizes he almost made himself a Horcrux curse victim. "Thank you, Alastor."

Meanwhile, back at Hogwarts, Severus Snape is helping Lily Potter with the Felix Felicis. "Severus, do you really think Professor Slughorn might know something that will help us to stop Voldemort once and for all?"

"I don't want to say anything bad about the man who taught me everything I know about potion making but Professor Slughorn is vain." Snape replies. "The Dark Lord might have convinced him to say something about Horcruxes and he's now too ashamed to tell."

"Well, perhaps we could convince Slughorn without the potion." Lily suggests.

"There might be a chance but I wouldn't take the risk without talking to Headmaster Dumbledore first." Snape replies.

"I agree, Severus." Lily says.

"You do?" He asks.

"I do." She answers as Sirius Black appears. "Lily, what did you say?"

"I said 'I do'." She maliciously answers. "What's the problem with that, Black?"

"Lily Potter, how dare you forget Prongs that quickly?" An exasperated Sirius asks.

"Severus just asked me if he agreed on something about Professor Slughorn." She explains. The expression on Sirius Black's face is something both Lily and Severus find priceless.

Meanwhile, Peter Pettigrew is in Albany, where he has just found Lord Voldemort. After Wormtail tells him about what became of the Potters and the death eaters, Voldemort starts thinking about a way to capture Harry Potter and use his blood on a way to regain a full corporeal form. "Master, perhaps we should find someone else." Wormtail suggests. "Any enemy would do."

"I need Harry Potter." Voldemort replies. "He'll work better than anybody else."

"If you have enough time to capture him." Wormtail replies.

"What do you mean by that, Wormtail?" Voldemort asks.

"Barty Crouch Junior told me about finding Horcruxes made by you."

Now Voldemort is worried. "Fine, we'll make a try and if we don't capture Potter then, I'll try some easier target."
