*Not mine. Not yours. Only JK Rowling's*

(A/N: How do you like it so far? Good? Average? Amazing? Haha just let me know in the reviews! I shall be waiting for them! And now, without further ado, I present to you Chapter 8.)

"So, what is it? Have you ever seen it? Do you know any other things that might have emitted the dark magic the same way?" Hermione fired her questions.

"Well, it's sort of like a bracelet. I have seen it but not recently. I guess I saw it around two years ago. It was in my father's study," Draco answered slowly.

"Do you think it is still there? Do you think there is a chance we can get it? After getting back, obviously," Harry asked impatiently.

"I guess. I can check once we get back."

"Very well. That's solved then," Ginny said.

"We will fight this together, dear. We will stick together. We shall not let them win. For every life counts and we are not going to let them down," Narcissa told Hermione who seemed to be controlling and pulling herself together again.

Hermione nodded and smiled weakly. Narcissa smiled back encouragingly.

"Go back home, sweetheart. Today has been a long day and you need some rest and come to terms with the situation. I will get back to my room as well. I am feeling very tired now," Narcissa advised.

Hermione nodded and walked out.

"Okay, I think we need to split up. Hermione, you go to your place of the future of course. Find anything that you might find important. Notes, letters, magazines, newspapers, anything. Your future self will most likely be walking back home. I don't think she can concentrate enough to apparate," Harry ordered and Hermione inclined her head in agreement.

"Ron, you go to the burrow and check if everyone's doing well and eavesdrop on conversations related to this. Ginny, come with me. Hermione, can we borrow your mobile? You can contact us through your Patronus. Gin and I shall go to the ministry and look into the files and take photos."

"Daphne, I want you to go to Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley. Check if there is anything out of the ordinary in the two alleys and if there are any suspicious objects, get them but don't forget to duplicate them b and keep your eyes and ears open. Don't worry, nothing will happen to you in Knockturn Alley since we can't be seen or heard. I doubt anyone can even sense our presence."

Daphne nodded confidently. Ginny gave her a small hug in encouragement. Harry and Hermione smiled.

"Draco, I need you to snoop around the manor and then go to Hogwarts. Go to the Potions classroom and try to get some ingredients to reverse the spell this potion has put us under after we get enough information on this new war."

Draco nodded.

Suddenly, Hermione said, "We will meet at 12 Grimmauld Place after completing our jobs."

At this, everyone agreed in small murmurs and then they split up.
