Chapter 10

Disclaimer: Same procedure as every Chapter,James

Break ended pretty fast Harry and Draco had become really close and were best friends now that Draco didn't have to pretend any more. Hermione and the Weasleys had been more than surprised when they visited on Boxing Day and found Harry and Draco laughing together in the living room.

Even tough they became friends Harry's scar hurt more then ever. He was now able to shield his mind but he still felt the pain. He figured that Voldemort was angry that he lost his 'most trusted follower' and the one who was supposed to kill Dumbledore.

He knew he was furious when Professor Snape came into Grimmauld Place suffering the after effects of the Cruciatus curse while Dumbledore was visiting and told him and Harry that Voldemort ordered him to fulfil Draco's task of killing the headmaster.

He was thanked and told to rest while Harry was sent to get the Malfoy men who were having a father son bonding session in the library.

"Draco,Mr Malfoy Dumbledore wants you in the kitchen." he told them.

Lord Malfoy sighed. "Harry how often do I have to tell you to call me Lucius?"

"Often enough. Are you coming." and he left the others to follow him.

When everyone was in attendance Dumbledore told them and the shinobi who had come out of nowhere about Horcruxes and how to destroy them. Lucius told them about the diary,which he had returned to the headmaster and a cup which had been put into Bellatrix Lestrange vault at Gringotts.

When asked if he would be able to gain entrance he told that Draco should be able to receive it as he was of Black blood and therefore considered safe.

Dumbledore showed them the memories of the medallion and showed them the destroyed ring.

Calling Kreacher they found out that Mundungus took the locket and the house elf went and got him after he was promised the fake one they would receive for him. It had belonged to Regulus and Dumbledore thought he would return weakened and it would provide the best situation for Snape.

Harry told that he thought that the snake was one and it was decided for Severus to kill her with the sword when he returned from killing the headmaster and to go into hiding directly afterwards.

Then Dumbledore looked grave "That are all of the known Horcruxes. Though there is still one missing."

"What if it's at Hogwarts. There is something of the other founders except Gryffindor so it's obviously something from Ravenclaw. And I think there was something looking like Ravenclaw's tiara in the ROR." Draco said.

"Of course in the Chamber he told me that he was the only one to ever discover the depths of Hogwarts so he would think it safe." Harry exclaimed.

The headmaster looked thoughtful then he stood and left without a word. The others sat there not knowing what to do now when he returned holding a tiara and the sword.

"You were right." and he stabbed it. Harry's scar hurt and he had to close his eyes therefore he missed the shocked faces the others wore when a black substance dropped out of the tiara.

"Even his soul is black and gooey." Draco stated dryly when he had his facial expression back under control.

Harry couldn't help himself and laughed.

"So we know were six of them are but there is one more." everyone looked at Dumbledore. He looked every year of his 150 years and he looked straight at Harry.

"That night in Godric' s Hollow his fragile soul split by murdering in cold blood and went into the only living being there." Harry knew what he told him. "There is a reason for our connection, why I am a Parselmouth,isn't there. I am the last Horcrux." the others looked down when the headmaster nodded.

"So I have to die?" Draco's head shot up. "No!"

Dumbledore continued as if he hadn't heard him. "Yes,and Voldemort himself has to do it." Harry let out a deep breath. "So we destroy the Horcruxes,he kills me and he'll be mortal."

"Yes. I am sorry Harry."

Draco was horrified after he finally got friends with Harry,his friend was to be killed like a pig! He couldn't understand how Harry could take it so calmly. He was just told he had to die to end this war.

"How can you just sit there,Harry." he voiced his thoughts.

"If I have to die to safe everyone I am willing to sacrifice my life." he answered. "And for that I admire you." Dumbledore stood and embraced the boy he thought of as a grandson and let a tear fall.
