"It's done." Hermione exclaimed as she and Harry emerged from a room.
"Great, so, we're safe right? No one can find this place?"
"That should be right."
"Great."
The four inhabitants were now in the boy's room. Harry was the new secret keeper for the house. They figured this throw off Voldermort. Ella had just finished unpacking in Hermionie's and her room when Ron saw a muggle CD player. They were shocked to find it worked in the house.
"I still don't believe it works here." Hermione said. "I mean, with all the spells and charms, I thought it would be like Hogwarts!"
"So you've been living in the Muggle world?"
"Yeah." Ella said. "But my mom taught me all she knows and Dumbledore helped with some too. Hey, I wonder if we could get a T.V. in here?"
"We could, but we won't. We don't more things to distract us!" Harry stated. "We've lost enough time now."
"Harry, breath. You'd probably be sleeping right now anyway."
"Which we probably should be doing." Hermione yawned. "Goodnight Harry, Ron. Ella you coming?"
"Yeah, night guys." She walked out of the room.
"Hermione," Harry called, "two things, first, be careful. Second, tomorrow, I want you to find any way you can so we can get that locket off of Ella!"
"Definitely, goodnight."
"Harry?" Ella asked from the kitchen door. She couldn't sleep so she decided to explore a little.
"Oh, hi."
"Couldn't sleep?"
"No, too much on my mind."
"Yeah, so how did you find this place?"
"Oh, it's mine. My godfather left it to me. It was his family's."
"Oh. So where have you been living?"
"You haven't heard a lot about me have you?" He laughed.
"Not really, all I know is that you're a wizard whose parents were murdered by Vodermort."
"The scar?" He prompted.
"What scar?" She eyed him.
"Oh, it's just I have a scar from that night, when he tried to kill me."
"Oh, I didn't know that." She looked sheepishly.
"It's actually quite refreshing." They smiled. "No, I've been living with my aunt and uncle and cousin. Horrible people. They were glad when I left this summer. Not too happy when Ron and Hermione showed up with me though." He laughed at the face his uncle had made when he'd seen them. He was positive the only reason he'd allowed them in was that they were legal.
"So what does the necklace do?"
"What? How-"
"It's the only reason you brought me isn't it?"
"Well yeah, but…"
"It's okay, I mean…If it's going to be around my neck, with no way of coming off, I think I deserve to know what it does."
"It's a horcrux. A part of someone's soul." He added to quench Ella's perplexed look. "Voldermort's actually. There were six total. Two have been destroyed and we were looking for that one the night…once the four are destroyed, Voldermort will be mortal again. That's when…"
"Oh, um, so does Harry Potter like Quidittch? There was a field outside our home and I'd play seeker. Well, that's the only position I could play isn't it?"
"You play? Yeah, of course I like it, I'm an absolute fanatic. I was captain of our team last year. I also play seeker."
"Excellent, maybe you can give me tips sometime."
They continued talking the rest of the night, both learning interesting details from each other's lives. Ella fell asleep at the table first and as Harry drifted off into unconsciousness, he realized that Ella was worth it, worth trusting a Snape.
