157. He Knows and All Hell Breaks Loose
**Hermione's POV**
"Harry, are you alright?" I asked as he got on the coast.
"He knows. You- Know- Who. He knows we've broken into Gringotts. He knows what we took and he knows we're hunting Horcruxes" Harry said taking a deep breath.
"How is it you know?" Ron asked.
"I saw it."
"You let him in?" I asked. "Harry, you can't do that."
"Hermione, I can't always help it. We'll maybe I can, I don't know" Harry said.
"Never mind that!" George said.
"What happened?" Fred asked.
"He's angry, and scared, too. He knows if we find and destroy all the Horcruxes we'll be able to kill him. I reckon he'll stop at nothing to make sure we won't find the rest" Harry said. "And there's more. One of them is in Hogwarts."
"What?" I looked at him.
"You saw it?" Fred asked.
"I saw it in the castle and Rowena Ravenclaw. It must have something to do with her. We have to go there now" Harry said.
"What? We can't do that" Ron said.
"We've got a plan. We've got to figure it out" I said.
"Hermione, when have any of our plans actually worked? We plan, we get there, all hell breaks loose" Harry said.
"He's right," George nodded.
"One problem, though," Fred said. "Snape's Headmaster now, we can't just walk in there through the front door."
"Well, we'll go to Hogsmeade. To Honeydukes. Take the secret passage of the cellar" Harry said. "There's- There's something wrong with him. It's like in the past, I've always been able to follow his thoughts, and now everything feels disconnected."
"Maybe it's the Horcruxes. Maybe he's growing weaker. Maybe he's dying" Fred and George said.
"No. No it's more like he's wounded. If anything he feels more dangerous" Harry said.
