***Hello everyone! Here is another chapter! Enjoy!


The three friends stayed in a tent while searching for a way to destroy the horcruxes. But they had to find them first. They were living to a place for a little while and then they would go somewhere safer. They had broken into the Ministry and had taken the real locket and now they were searching for others. They were talking about visiting Gringots to take the other horcrux from Bellatrix vault but they didn't know how to do it. They learned that Severus became headmaster and that was good because they knew that he was going to protect as best he could the students from the Carrows who were teaching at Hogwarts.

One day however things became bad while Harry and Hermione were discussing a theory on how they could destroy the rest of the Horcruxes with the sword of Godric Gryffindor. Harry was looking at Hermione and when she finished explaining her ideas Harry spoke ''There's just one problem.'' He said and Hermione looked down

That moment Ron took out the lights and said ''The sword was stolen'' After that he walked up and turned the lamp back on with his Deluminator. He had a stony look on his face and said ''Yeah, I am still here. But you two carry on. Don't let me spoil your fun.''

Hermione and Harry who were taken aback by what Ron said, looked at each other. Harry then looked at Ron ands asked ''What's wrong?''

Ron looked at him with a hint of hate and spoke ''Well, nothing's wrong. Not according to you, anyway.''

Harry stood up and walked towards Ron. ''Look, if you've got something to say, don't be shy. Spit it out.'' Harry said

Ron followed Harry and the were now standing in front of each other with only few meters of distance. ''All right, I'll spit it out. But don't expect me to be grateful just because now there's another damn thing we've gotta find.'' Ron said

Harry was looking at his best friend for seven years in disbelief and said ''I thought you knew what you signed up for!''

Ron shook his head and said ''Yeah. I thought I did, too''

Hermione stood up and went and stood in front of them with a look of fear.

Harry shook his head with a knowing look and said ''Well then, I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand. What part of this isn't living up to your expectations? Did you think we were gonna be staying in a five-star hotel? Finding a Horcrux every other day? You thought you'd be back with your mum by Christmas?''

Ron looked angrier and said ''I just thought after all this time we would have actually achieved something! I thought you knew what you were doing! I thought Dumbledore would've told you something worthwhile! I thought you had a plan!''

Harry looked pained but said ''I told you everything Dumbledore told me! And in case you haven't noticed, we have found a Horcrux already.''

Ron looked at him and said bitterly ''Yeah and we're about as close to getting rid of it as we are to finding the rest of them, aren't we?''

Hermione felt her eye heavy and knew that she was going to cry soon and walked between her two best friends ''Ron, please.'' She said while trying to get the locket off of Ron, but he angrily shoved her away. ''Please take the Horcrux off! You won't be saying any of this if you hadn't been wearing it all day!'' She said and the tears started streaming down her face.

Ron ignored Hermione and looked at Harry again ''You don't know why I listen to that radio every night, do you? To make sure I don't hear Ginny's name. Or Fred, or George, or Mum-'' Harry felt like he had enough of Ron's nerves and said ''What, you think I'm not listening too? You think I don't know how this feels?

Ron got angrier and yelled ''No, you don't know how it feels! Your parents are dead! You have no family!''

Hermione gasped, put her hands to her mouth and widened her eyes.

Harry furious at what Ron had said he attacked him.

Hermione immediately yelled ''Harry! Ron! Stop! Stop!'' She pulled the boys apart.

Harry look at him still furious and yelled ''Fine then, go! Go then!''

Ron looked furious too. He pulled the locket from his neck and threw it to the ground and took his bag and walked towards the exit of the tent

Hermione looked at him with tears streaming down her face ''Ron'' she said

Ron turned around and looked at Hermione ''And you? Are you coming or are you staying?'' He yelled

Hermione looked torn apart. She glanced from Harry to Ron in shock. ''I-I'' she couldn't speak

Ron nodded and said ''Fine. I get it. I am nothing. You only have him. I am nothing to you'' Ron said and turned around and left.

''RON'' Hermione yelled and run after him.

Harry run after Hermione to make sure she would be okay. When he walked out of the tent he saw Ron apparating away and Hermione fall to her knees while screaming ''ROOON''. He run towards her and wrapped his arms around her shaking body. Hermione turned around and put her head to his chest and cried there.

Meanwhile Draco was sitting at his bedroom with a book in his hands. He was staring out of the window when pain stroked him. He put his hand to his chest and breathed heavily. He took few deep breaths and closed his eyes. He opened them again and looked at the moon. ''Hermione'' he whispered and a tear fell from his eyes.

Hermione who was sitting at the ground, looking inside the fire while Harry was trying to find something, suddenly looked at the sky. ''Draco'' she whispered. He had called her. She knew that he had called her. She felt dizzy and touched her ring. She took deep breaths and closed her eyes. ''Be safe'' she whispered and looked back at the dancing flames.

Draco looked at the door in his bedroom when he heard a knock and said 'Enter'.

Narcissa walked inside the room and went and sat beside her son ''How are you feeling?'' She asked her son

''Alone'' Draco said and looked at his lap. ''I miss her. I don't know if he is okay or not. I am afraid of her safety mother'' Draco said and tears started to fall from his eyes

Narcissa put her palms at Draco's cheeks and whiped his tears with her thumbs ''She is fine. I am sure about that. Do not worry my dear. This war will finish soon and you will be with her again.'' Narcissa said and kissed her son's temple. ''Goodnight'' she said and walked towards the door.

Before she could leave Draco said ''Goodnight mother''

After few hours, Harry and Hermione were sitting outside of the tent while Harry's back was on a tree and Hermione's back at Harry's chest. Harry had wrapped his arms around her and Hermione had her head in Harry's neck. ''Do you think that he will come back?'' Hermione asked suddenly while looking at the dancing flames in front of her.

Harry hugged her tighter when he felt her shiver from the cold wind. ''I don't know Mione'' he said and stroked her hair.

''Why did he left? Why? What happened to him? Today I saw a face I didn't know that Ron had.'' Hermione said and took a deep breath

''Don't worry yourself over it Mione. Everything will get better soon.'' Harry said trying to comfort his sister in everything except blood.

''I was scared today Harry. I was really scared for you, for Ron and for me. I don't want to lose either of you'' Hermione said and sighed

''I will always protect you Mione. Don't forget that'' Harry said and kissed her head

Nothing else was said that night. Both of them knew that they would get better soon. Their wounds would heal in time.

Miles away inside a castle in the highest of towers Severus was sitting with a glass of firewhisky in his hands and with silent tears streaming down his face and was looking the moon. He had become the headmaster of this school because his master had ordered him to. He had to be the cruelest man to these children inside this castle walls only because his master had ordered him to. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He didn't know if his daughter was safe. He didn't know if she was injured or okay. She was strong but what if she was not strong enough for all of this. He just wished to Merlin for his daughter to be fine and protected. His life didn't have a meaning if his beautiful daughter was hurt. He should be fighting along her not somewhere else. ''Please be careful my angel. Be safe'' He whispered and that moment a star fell from the sky.
