Harry sat up slowly, rubbing his eyes. He tried to remember what had happened. They were going to make a Life Bond, he and Blaise...
"Blaise!" he screamed, jumping up and looking around wildly. He looked into the fearful eyes of Severus and Lucius. "Where is he?!" When neither of them answered, he pulled out his wand. He pointed it at the Horcruxes. "Fiendfyre," he muttered, and watched as they burnt. He looked back at the two men but didn't extinguish the flame. Instead he brandished the wand close to their faces, controlling the fire to stop it from running rampant. "WHERE IS BLAISE?!"
Severus stepped towards Harry and put his hand on Harry's shoulder. "I'm so sorry, Harry, but -"
"NO!" Harry shouted, the fire suddenly going out. "I CAN'T!"
"Harry, Blaise...he didn't survive."
"So where is he?"
Severus took a deep breath. "We don't actually know. His body vanished as the Bond broke. This was all that was left." Severus passed Harry a small item. Harry recognised it straightaway.
"His locket," he whispered. "He never took it off." He looked at the two older wizards. "Could you leave me alone for a few minutes? Please." They nodded and walked out silently. Harry sighed before angrily kicking the corpse of Voldemort. "YOU BASTARD!"
Harry lay down in the middle of the floor and brought his knees up to his chest. He put the locket around his neck and gently pressed it to his lips, tears falling down his face. And that was where Lucius and Severus found him when they went back in nearly an hour later.

A pathetically short chapter, I know. But it's the last one! Just the epilogue to go now! And for anyone wondering, you won't see Hermione until The Third Mistake! So make sure you read it once it's posted!
I would like to apologise for the wait for this chapter. I've been looking for a job and it's taken up a lot of time.
