I decided to have them meet at Grimmauld's Place instead of Prince Manor. Also, I am not sure if I put this in earlier chapters but this is just a reminder, Sirius Black was cleared of all charges before this story began.

Chapter Thirty Five

Harry woke up feeling refreshed and he sat up before rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. He noticed that Draco was sitting up on his bed and he swung his feet off of his bed before placing them on the ground. "You're up early," he commented slipping his glasses onto his face.

Draco glanced at him. "I found out where the locket is last night," he said without preamble.

Harry's eyes went wide. "You did? Where is it?"

"Stonehenge in Wiltshire."

"How'd you find that out?"

"I overheard Black talking about it with Kreacher after I found a replica of the locket and Kreacher insisted he couldn't talk about the locket with anyone but a member of the Black family, Regulus in particular."

"Why would Regulus hide the locket at Stonehenge?"

"How should I know? It's a muggle monument so I guess he figured no one would look there," he said.

"Probably. Let's contact the others."

Harry got to his feet. "Who should we call first?"

"Why don't you contact Ron and Neville and I'll speak with Hermione and we'll contact Luna."

Harry nodded before he got to his feet. As he changed, he frowned. "We should tell Severus too. He did say he was going to go with us," he said.

Draco nodded. "Do you want to contact him or do you want me too?"

"I will."

Harry changed quickly before walking out of the room he shared with Draco before he started looking for his godfather. He found Sirius sitting in the kitchen sipping a cup of coffee while rubbing his eyes and Lupin sat across from him also sipping at a cup of coffee.

"Hey there kiddo. You're up early," Sirius commented.

"Yeah. I couldn't sleep. I was wondering, do you think it would be all right if my friends came over for a while?"

Sirius narrowed his eyes in thought. "I suppose so. What do you say, Moony?"

"It's your home, Padfoot," Lupin replied with a shrug.

"All right then. Go ahead and invite them."

"And I'm asking for Sev to come over as well."

Sirius glowered. "Fine," he said flatly clearly not liking the idea of having Snape within his house again.

Harry smiled before he turned and jogged out of the kitchen before entering the conference room where he knew the floo was located. He picked up some of the floo powder and proceeded to call the Burrow and invite Ron and Ginny over before he contacted Neville after Ron and Ginny stepped into the room.

Draco and Hermione walked into the conference at that moment and the floo flared to life before Neville entered. Harry placed a quick floo call to his guardian and Draco walked to the floo to contact Luna.

"Hello Ron, Ginny, Neville," Sirius greeted them as he walked into the conference room with Lupin just behind him.

"Hello Sirius," Ginny greeted the Animagus politely.

"So why are you here?"

"Don't be rude, Sirius," Lupin chided him.

Sirius scowled at the werewolf.

Snape stepped out of the floo at that moment and tossed a pointed glare at Sirius that Sirius gladly returned. A moment later, Luna arrived through the floo with the same dreamy expression in her eyes.

"Why are you here?" Lupin asked politely.

"Oh sure, you get mad at me when I ask that question and you just ask it again?" Sirius rolled his eyes.

"I asked politely."

"Shut it."

"Well," Harry hesitated. He didn't want to get his godfather and Professor Lupin into any danger but he also knew that his godfather wouldn't accept any lie that he tells him. He glanced at his guardian who merely gazed at him with a raised eyebrow as if to tell him 'it's your choice.'

"We're going to go looking for something," Harry said finally. He hesitated before adding, "at Stonehenge in Wiltshire."

"Stonehenge? You mean…" Sirius's eyes went wide. "You're going after the locket!"

"Brilliant deduction skills, Black," Snape sneered.

"You knew about this?" Sirius exclaimed.

"No but I figured that was why Harry asked his friends and myself to meet him here."

Sirius glared at the former spy. "You're actually condoning him going after the locket!"

"You know what the locket is?" Harry asked before Snape could reply.

"Dumbledore told us that it was possible a horcrux could be the locket of Salazar Slytherin," Sirius replied with a shrug still glaring at Snape who merely glared back at him with impassive eyes.

"He doesn't condone it," Harry said. "But I'm going to find that horcrux."

"Kid, shouldn't you let us adults handle this?" Sirius asked.

"No,' Harry said firmly. "Voldemort and I started this war. I am going to end it, with or without help."

Snape rolled his eyes. "Once again, Harry, you're not even sixteen yet," he said.

"Still."

"Why don't you let Moony and I go after the horcrux?" Sirius asked.

"You're the one that said you should let adults handle this, Black, so it wouldn't make sense if you went after the horcrux," Snape sneered.

Sirius glowered angrily at that.

"I don't even think Voldemort knows the horcrux is there," Harry said softly. "We could just go to Stonehenge, grab the locket, and take it back to Professor Dumbledore to destroy. It's a simple plan."

"When have our plans ever actually worked?" Ron asked.

Harry glowered at his friend. "Now they're going to be even less likely to let us go."

"Sorry mate."

"I won't let you go," Sirius said firmly.

"Relax, Black," Snape said flatly. "I'll be with them. It's not like they'll be handling this alone."

"If you are going, Harry, then I'm going with you," Sirius said firmly.

"No…" Harry began.

"Don't try to talk me out of it. I'm going with you."

Harry was worried; he didn't want his godfather to go with him for he was afraid that he would lose him. It was also the main reason why he wanted to go after the horcrux by himself so as not to put his friends, his guardian, Professor Lupin or his godfather in danger. However, his friends insisted on going, Snape insisted on going and, it would appear, Sirius was insisting on going as well.

Harry sighed knowing that his godfather was right; he couldn't talk him out of it. "All right," he said softly.

"I'm going with you," Lupin said.

"But…"

"Someone has to keep Paddy out of trouble," Lupin said with a shrug and a faint smile on his face.

Harry was about to protest but Snape merely said, "I would actually prefer if you two came along. I cannot make sure all seven of them don't plunge headlong into danger by myself."

"Three full grown wizards are better than one," Ron commented.

"I don't want anyone of you to get hurt though," Harry protested.

"Harry, we're not invalids. We can take care of ourselves," Snape assured him.

"And we're going with you, no matter what you say," Sirius added.

Harry wanted to protest but he knew it would do him no good. "All right," he said finally with a sigh. "So are we going to go now?"

"The sooner we go, the least likely the dark lord will discover its location when we do."

"You're still calling Voldemort the dark lord, Sev," Harry commented.

"Habit I suppose."

"Come on. Let's get going before ol' Moldyshorts finds out," Sirius said happily.

Lupin rolled his eyes and sighed at that. "Should we inform Albus first?" he asked.

"I'll write him a quick note of where we're going and that we'll send a Patronus if we need backup," Sirius said before disappearing from the conference room. He reappeared a moment letter with a parchment and quill in his hands before he wrote the quick note and placed it on the table.

"Let's go," he said.


"What is the matter with you, Lucius?" Bellatrix asked Lucius as the blonde wizard gazed almost sorrowfully through the window while sipping at a cup of tea.

"Nothing," Lucius said shortly masking his emotions quickly before glowering at the insane Death Eater.

"Still mourning your traitorous wife's death? My sister got what she deserved for sticking up for that mudblood caring brat," Bellatrix sneered.

Lucius resisted the urge to hex Bellatrix then and there and, instead, didn't reply. Bellatrix sat down at the table before calling one of Lucius's house elves to get her a cup of tea. The two of them drank their tea in silence while Lucius thought about his wife, his son and the biggest mistake he ever made by doing nothing while his wife sacrificed her life for her son.

Draco must hate me, he thought.

At that moment, their marks burned and Bellatrix immediately got to her feet before hurrying into the conference room within the manor where the other Death Eaters were likely gathering. Severus was the only one that wouldn't show up, Lucius was sure of that, and he found himself wondering what his friend was doing.

Severus had said in his letter that he would never forget what Lucius did but he never told him if he forgave him. I doubt Severus and Draco will both forgive me for what I did, I don't think I'll ever forgive myself.

He and Bellatrix sat down alongside the rest of the Death Eaters as Voldemort glared at them from the head of the table, their silver masks in place. He was furious that Severus, who was one of his most trusted and seemingly loyal supporters, had betrayed them in the end, that much was clear by the anger glowing in his bloody eyes.

"My horcruxes have been getting destroyed," Voldemort growled, "and the fact that I do not know where they are located does not help matters. The one, aside from Naginin, that is left is Salazar Slytherin's locket and I must find it at all costs. Now then, whoever moved my horcruxes, what would be a likely place they would hide it?"

"Someplace you would never think to look," Bellatrix offered. "Like among the mudbloods."

"Yes but where?"

"It would have to be someplace that wasn't obvious," Lucius murmured almost talking to himself but Voldemort heard him nonetheless.

"Explain, Lucius."

Lucius glanced up at the dark lord. "If whoever took your horcruxes wanted them to stay hidden then he or she would have hidden them among the mudbloods and in the last place you would think to look."

"Yes, that is possible." Voldemort narrowed his eyes. "But where?"

"A landmark maybe," Avery suggested. "Like a historical landmark."

"The idea has merits," Voldemort said eyes narrowing. "But which one?"

Lucius stayed silent as he thought about the possibilities. "I doubt the horcrux has left Britain, my lord, so we merely have to look at historical landmarks in Britain, such as Stonehenge in Wiltshire, Blackpool Tower in Lancashire, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Palace and St. Paul's Cathedral, the last three are in London, to name a few," he murmured just loud enough for the dark lord to hear.

"Yes but which one?" Voldemort demanded angrily.

"I do not know, my lord."

"Crucio!" Voldemort aimed the curse at Lucius and he collapsed onto the ground as the curse slammed into his body. He didn't scream, he was used to this sort of treatment, and he found that he deserved the curse; not for not knowing where the horcrux could be but for actually letting his wife die and letting Bellatrix torture and nearly kill his son.

"We will start searching at these landmarks," Voldemort decided. "Which would be the most likely one it could be placed?"

"I would, my lord, say one of the ones in London," Bellatrix said lowering her head when Voldemort turned to gaze at her.

"Very well. We shall try Buckingham Palace first," he declared before he and the rest of the Death Eaters apparated toward Buckingham Palace.
