Ayeee- Sorry I've not posted it into a while. My sister broke my laptop *OHNO* and I don't know when I'll get one.

So I'll try post whenever I nick my father's.

Hermione got herself up, yawning and stretching as she walked over to the portrait hole. "Guys, come in." She half smiled, feeling a bit awkward around Ron after last night. She stepped to the side as they walked in, before shutting the portrait and turning around to them. "I'm just going to shoot upstairs and change.. Be back in a minute?" She phrased is sort of like a question, before kicking off her heels she had still been wearing, and rushing up the stairs and to her dorm. She answered the question it shot at her, before quickly stepping inside.

She returned a few minutes later, wearing a pair of jeans and a long sleeved blue top, and trainers. "What can I do for you?" She attempted to be happy as she skipped back down the stairs, sitting in one of the Slytherin-coloured chairs, as it was the one next to them. She spoke mainly to Harry, facing him more than she did Ron, but Harry just stared at Ron, as if he was waiting for him to say something. In the end, Harry actually elbowed him in the stomach, glaring slightly, making Ron sort of "ouch."

"Look, I'm sorry about last night, 'Mione." He muttered, looking down at his feet. "I was drunk, and I wasn't really in my right mind.." He pursed his lips, looking up at her. "Can we just put it past us?" He suggested, attempting a smile. Hermione sort of hesitated for a moment, as she crossed her legs, sitting on her feet as she twiddled with her nails, looking down at her lap. She felt awkward, and she could only imagine how Harry would be feeling - being in the middle of this, with his two best friends bickering. The thing is, Hermione loved Ron. With all her heart. But not in that way. He's like a brother to her, and last night tipped her over the edge. "Look, Ronald." She sighed, trying to be as nice as she could. "I can put it behind me - but that doesn't mean I'm going to forgive you, alright?" She looked up, half-smiling. Ron grinned slightly, at least getting somewhere with this apology.

"In other news." Harry butted in, not wanting to make anybody feel any more awkward. "I think I've finally got a crack on this R.A.B guy." He half grinned. Ron stared at him wide-eyed, and Hermione was almost ecstatic. "Harry! Why didn't you tell us? This is a major break through. It'll help us find the real locket." Hermione gasped, nudging him to go on.

"Regulus Arcturus Black." He nodded simply. Ron and Hermione thought over that for a moment.

"Sirius' brother?" Ron peeped up, slightly confused.

"Of course!" Hermione beamed. "Kreacher told us about how Regulus had turned against Voldemort and the death eaters after he was mistreated. In an attempt to weaken Voldemort, he must of created a replica of the locket, so that nobody would realize the Horcrux had been destroyed." She then used the palm of her hand to smack her forehead. "Stupid Hermione - why didn't we realize before?"

Harry and Ron laughed slightly. "Anyway, we don't know if he destroyed it or not, do we?" Ron pointed out. Hermione bit her lip, thinking again. Harry went to say something, but she interrupted. "Kreacher. He'll know - he belonged to Reglulus, after all." She grinned.
"You're bloody brilliant." Ron beamed back at her. "We need to go to him soon. Figure it out, so we can search for the rest of the horcruxes.

"Right." Harry agreed. "We'll go tomorrow night, after dinner so nobody expects us. We'll come round about six, 'Mione. Get whatever you need, and Ron and I will sort ourselves out." He grinned, as the boys stood up and headed for the door.

"Wait!" Hermione called, lurching out of her seat, then dropping her voice. "What do I tell D-Malfoy? He'll suspect if I'm not here."

"Sure you'll figure out something." Ron winked, before the boys left, leaving Hermione scowling and trying to figure out some excuses.

ight so this isn't much, as I'm tired and I have no energy or inspiration.

In the story there will be some Horcrux hunting, and the final battle!
BUT SHH, No more spoilers!
