As the distant sounds of destruction filled the air Bellatrix grabbed Chandra and pushed her out the door. As she went to leave the room Hermione tried to follow, only for Bella to stop her.

"No, you stay here."

"Bella, I can help…"

"No, stay here and if they find you, run."

Bella looked over to the group of students who were gathered in their dorm, her gaze falling on Pansy.

"You."

Pansy looked at her with a shocked expression, she didn't think the dark witch would even think to talk to her.

"Yes?"

"Keep her here."

With that Bella slammed the door and she was gone, leaving Pansy quite Shaken. What the hell was she supposed to do? The castle was under attack and she was supposed to keep Hermione in here? She couldn't see how that was possible. Hermione was stubborn and was already pissed about being treated like a child… not to mention her fiancé and her cousin just went looking for the attackers. Pansy was brought out of her thoughts when Hermione confidently walked to the door. As she touched the handle pansy spoke quickly.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to make sure those two idiots don't die."

"If I let you go I'll die, have you forgotten who Bella is?!"

Hermione looked back at Pansy.

"For someone who's so afraid of what will happen, you're not doing much to stop me."

More loud crashes filled the castle and Pansy looked at the defiant gryffindor. Something clicked in her mind and she didn't know if it was her being jealous or just being completely logical. Why was she listening to Bellatrix? Hermione isn't her responsibility. She wasn't Pansy's girlfriend. She looked at Hermione and rolled her eyes.

"Whatever, if you die it's not my fault."

Hermione didn't waste any time. She left the dorm and ran down the corridors, following the sounds as she gripped her wand tight. As she neared the great hall there was the sound of a strong spell being cast, followed by a loud grunt. Hermione stopped dead in her tracks, wand held in front of her as she watched the entrance to the great hall. There was a low growling sound along with the sounds of pills being deflected. A second later the sounds were at the doors. Hermione watched as Chandra backed into the corridor, still sending spells toward her opponent. When Hermione looked over to the entrance she took in a sharp breath as Fenrir Greyback entered the corridor as he deflected another of Chandra's spells.

That one sharp breath got the werewolf's attention. His head quickly snapped to look at her, a hideous grin spread across his face as he saw her.

"I'm having some really good luck today. You'll be coming with me."

Chandra sent a spell towards him, which sent him flying back. She grabbed Hermione's arm and basically drug her down the corridor until she found a supply closet. She quickly pulled her cousin in and locked the door. Before Hermione could speak Chandra turned to her and growled under her breath.

"Are you fucking insane!? You know he is after you!"

"He's after Bella too!"

Chandra glared at her in angry silence before Hermione spoke up again.

"I know you're scared of dying, but it's not my fault you made the damned vow! I can protect my self, and atleast try to fucking be useful!"

Chandra clenched her jaw. She knew she could take care of herself but Bella was likely to kill her if she let Hermione put herself in harm's way. Hermione looked at her cousin and raised a brow. Chandra let out an irritated grunt and stepped back.

"Fine, if you die, me and her do too. Don't fuck up…"

"I know Chandra."

The two of them left the small room, checking down the corridor. They saw nobody and the sounds seemed to have stopped but Chandra soon heard Bellatrix's harsh call in the back of her mind. Chandra grabbed Hermione's wrist and began pulling her down the corridor.

"Come on."

"Where are we going?"

"I have a bad feeling."

Hermione jerked her wrist free and scoffed as she clenched her wand. They ran down the corridors until they exited the castle. The sound of spells flying in the distance made Hermione glare at her cousin shortly. Chandra could tell just what she was thinking and went to grab her wrist once more but before she could, the stubborn gryffindor ran, causing Chandra to curse under her breath as she ran after her.

As they reached the source of the noise they saw Harry slowly getting to his feet. Bella stood between him with her wand pointed at Snape. The other deatheaters were a good distance away and now disappearing into the forest. The dark witch gave Snape the coldest glare that any of them had ever seen. Snape went to cast a spell but was caught off guard when Hermione called out.

"Expelliarmus"

Snape's wand flew out of his hand and he looked at her in shock. Bellatrix turned to see her and instantly looked at Chandra. Chandra backed up a bit as Bella became visibly angry, only stopping when Hermione winced lightly, shaking her head. Snape chuckled softly.

"Seems your connection will be your downfall after all."

Bellatrix raised her wand toward him but he smiled as a new wave of pain hit her, causing her to lower her wand. He smirked as he looked at them. Chandra was now holding Hermione up as Harry dusted himself off. Snape looked back to Bellatrix, who was still in a good amount of pain.

"I believe it's my time to leave."

Snape turned and disappeared into the forest, leaving the small group alone. Chandra looked over at Harry and Bella as she let go of her cousin.

"Does someone wanna fill us in?"

Harry looked as if he was about to explode as Bella finally calmed down enough to speak.

"He just killed Dumbledore."

Chandra and Hermione froze, looking at the dark witch with strong looks of disbelief. They couldn't believe what they were hearing. Sure they knew Snape was up to something, but he couldn't have killed Dumbledore. After a few moments of silence Harry shook his head and began walking back to the castle, the others following shortly. As they neared the castle they were met with the sight of a huge crowd of students. The crowd stood silent and the air felt thick around them. It wasn't long before Harry and Hermione began to push their way past people and disappear into the crowd. Chandra's felt as if she was going to vomit when she realized what had happened. She looked at Bella for confirmation.

"He really killed him…"

"Yes, he did. On the astronomy tower…"

The two of them went quiet as they watched the crowd of students and staff members silently mourn the beloved professor.

Soon they were back in the dorm, sitting silently as Harry played with something. Hermione looked at what he had in his hand and questioned him about it.

"What is that, Harry?"

The boy played with the locket as he showed her it.

"This is what me and Dumbledore went to get. The reason I was gone for so long… it's called a horcrux… part of Tom's soul is supposed to be in it."

This caught Bellatrix's attention and she listened as Harry and Hermione continued.

"But it's a fake…"

He handed Hermione a note that he found inside the fake locket. The confused brunet read it, only to become even more confused.

"R.A.B.?"

Ron looked up at the two of them.

"Who is R.A.B.?"

Harry shook his head and could barely start talking before Bella spoke up.

"My cousin. He is Sirius's Brother… so if you're planning on destroying these things… Now you have an idea where to start. "

Harry and the others looked at her for a moment, before she spoke again.

"And I'm positive that I know where another Horcrux is."
