Hermione felt that she must've been sitting alone in the room for hours, before Snape finally re-entered. It probably had been that long since that house-elf came and took him. She opened her mouth to ask him a question, but was quickly escorted out into the hall by the same house-elf.
The halls were almost as dark as the room, and she wouldn't have been able to see, if it hadn't been for the light coming from the open door at the end of the hall. When she reached the door she was swiftly lead in, and the door shut before she had a chance to turn around.
After waiting, the lights went out and the door opened. A breeze rushed by her, and she heard rustling in the corner. She listened closely as the voice began in a low, raspy voice, "Where is it?"

Ron quickly apparated into Harry's flat. To his surprise, Harry was standing in front of him. "Oh, Hullo, Ron. I was just coming to see you. How'd it go at Hermione's?"
"I think something weird is going on, Harry."
"What are you talking about?"
"I was standing outside of Hermione's flat, and there were strange noises coming from inside. I didn't tell Ginny, because I knew it would worry her."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm positive. I think we should go over there and see what's going on."
Harry nodded as he pulled out his wand. "I'll go first."
Ron waited until Harry was gone, before apparating to Hermione's flat.
He took a deep breath as he looked around the living room of Hermione's house. He bent down and picked up a few papers from the floor. Harry entered the room carrying more papers, pages ripped from various books. "The whole place is like this. Let's take a look around."
Ron nodded and began looking over everything in the house. "You don't reckon it was a muggle robbery?" Harry called from Hermione's bedroom.
"No. I don't think so." He walked down towards the end of the hall, where he'd heard the noise. He looked closely at the door and ran his fingers over the tiny scratch marks. "Hey, Harry?" Ron asked looking over his shoulder, "Come take a look at this."
Harry walked behind Ron and paused looking over his shoulder. "Bloody hell. What IS that?"
"Claw marks. And look." Ron pointed to a loose piece of cornice across the bottom of the wall in the hall. Harry bent down and plucked a large piece of brown and white fur from the woodwork.
"An animal? An animal destroyed Hermione's flat?"
"No Harry. It's the thing. He's come for her now."

"Where's what?" Hermione asked.
The creature took a deep breath and tossed something at Hermione. "Where is the twin?"
Hermione carefully picked up the large, heavy medallion, fingering it. It took her a moment to realize exactly what it was. "I- I don't have it."
"Don't lie to me." The voice demanded, as the medallion flew from Hermione's hand, back in the direction of the voices.
"I don't have it. I've never seen it before."
The creature made a noise; Hermione assumed was a laugh. "I can tell when you're lying. Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything to you. Yet anyway. I will get it whether you give it to me or not."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"I don't know where you're keeping it," he continued as he ignored her, "I will find it though. You can go now."
Hermione hastily stood up and opened the door as she was escorted out by the small house-elf.
~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~
After the door shut behind Hermione she began to feel around. "Professor?"
"Here." He called out and she felt her way towards his voice. Finally finding him she sat down next to him. "What happened in there?"
"He asked me about some medallion."
"He wants to know where 'the twin' is?"
Hermione nodded.
"What did you tell him?" Snape asked.
"That I didn't have it. That I'd never seen it before."
"And that's true right?"
"Well, not exactly."
"Please tell me you don't have it."
"No, but I know who does."

I know this is a short chapter, but I have to hurry up and finish. I need to get up early, cause I have to go to the mall. I promise another chapter ASAP!
