Recap:

'It's Hufflepuff's cup!' Harry ran towards it not to touch it, but to get a closer look.

'It's Beautiful' Hermione said.

'How are we supposed to get that?' Ron asked.

They stood there. For how long they had no idea, they were amazed at how it gave off the yellow light. They were also pondering on how to get the cup from within the glass.

'It's almost as though its like a light bulb.' Hermione said.

'Whats that?' asked Ron

'It's a bulb that gives off light by being screwed into- hang on- maybe we have to twist it out of there. It would only make sence.' Harry said.

'I'm still confused as to how a light bulb works, but we could try that. That is if we were about a metre taller.' Said Ron.

'Ron has a point Harry. I dont think that any of us are tall enough to be able to lift that out without doing some major damage to ourselves or the cup.' Said Hermione

Harry though on this . He started wondering what it was that happened next in the cave. An obstacle. He looked up and saw what looked like a branch coming out of the wall, but it had a hook on the end of it. He looked around the base of the glass case, and saw that there was a indent all the way around the glass.

'I think that we are supposed to hoist it up using that,' He pointed to the branch. 'and that.' He finished his statement while pointing at the indent all the way around the glass.

'But what are we supposed to use to hoist it up there?' Hermione asked.

'The spider.' Ron whispered. 'It has webs there, and it would make a flexible type of rope that could hold alot of weight. But I don't want to be the one to go and get it, I'll leave that up to you two.'

'Ron! You are a genius! I would have never thought of that!' Said Hermione. 'I'll go talk to her and see what she can do!'

With that she left.

'Harry?' Ron asked

'Yes you should.' Harry said knowing what the question was going to be.

'But what if something goes wrong? What if it makes us hate eachother?' He said

'You two have already been through so much. Fighting every year. Lavander knew that she had a thing for you. And I know that you have a thing for her.' Harry said.

Just then Hermione returned with a good length of the spiders web.

'She gave us this. She said to tie the end to a rock and throw it over the stick and then tie the end around the case. Then one of us turns the bulb, while the others hoist it up. I guess she said its really heavy. The Dark Lord made her carry it in many years ago.' Hermoine said as she was looking on the ground for what she thought would be a good rock.

'Sounds good. So who is turning and who is lifting?' Ron asked awkwardly.

'I think that you should turn, after all, I dont think that you want to be grabbing onto the spiders web and pulling.' Harry said,

'Sounds good to me. I really really don't like spiders.' With that he shuddered.

'Found one!' Hermione shouted. It looked like she had found a good size of rock to tie the webbing around and toss over the branch.

Hermione tied it and then passed it onto Harry. She then took the other end of it so that it wouldnt end up all going over it.

Harry took the rock and threw it as hard as he could over the branch. He missed the first two times, but then he got it.

'Third times a charm' He said once it was over.

Hermione then took the part that the rock was on and tied that arond the caseing. Then they all took their places.

'Alright Ron!' Harry said 'Turn it now!' He and Hermione lifted and put their entire body weight towards the ground as Ron started turning it as fast as he could which couldn't have been an easy feat, seeing as he was forced to use both of his arms, one on either side to turn it.

It seemed like they were getting nowhere, but they were getting so far. By the time that the bulb came loose, Harry and Hermione were almost laying on the ground.

'We did it! Now how are we supposed to get out of here?' Ron asked.

Harry had only just noticed that the yellow light had gone out. He realized that he could now break the lightbulb.

'The light is out of the socket now, so we should be able to break it without triggering anything, just so that we dont have to lug this huge thing around for very long.' Harry said.

' Can I break it?' Ron asked.

'You sure can Ron' replied Harry

Ron went and found one of the rocks that Hermione had thrown aside and took it over to the glass and then held it in his hand.

'Here goes.' Ron said almost nervously.

He brought the rock down and there was an almost defening crack as the glass shattered into thousands of pieces.

The cup laid there mixed in with the shattered remains, and glistening with the light that was now coming from above them.

Harry bent down and picked up the cup and looked skywards. Much to his surprise he could see the sky. It was as though the breakign of the bulb had gotten rid of the ceiling of the cave. The sky was a shade of blue that can only be seen when the sun has set, but hasn't totally faded away yet.

'Hermione can you perform that spell on the place that the bulb was in.' I think that it needs payment to let us get oout as well.' Harry said

She performed the spell and the flames inside the socket were the same purple red colour and then were extinguished.

'I have a cut from the glass. I will make the payment this time.' Harry said as Ron reached for his daggar. 'You two stand in the pit.'

Harry had purposely put his hand down on the glass when he saw that the flames were the same colour. He didn't want Ron to cut his hand open again.

Harry went to the socket and squeezed his hand into a fist. The blood trickled between his fingers and into the hole and the pit that they were standing in became a platform. It rose and it kept on rising. The closer it got to the top, the more things started to change on it.

'Wow!' Hermione said as grass started to sprout on the platform.

'Look at that!' Ron said. It was rather interesting what he was pointing to.

The Socket was becoming more shallow, and growing into being a drinking fountain. The bottom of the pedastal was thining out and the basin was shallow. Harry pushed the button to make the water flow, and the water ran red before turning crystal clear.

'Did you see the blood running?' Harry asked. But there was no response.

Ron and Hermione were already wandering through the park, where they had just left a mere few hours previous.

Harry went back to the rock and on it there was another imprint of his hand. He read the inscritpion.

Harry Potter's hand print on his 17th birthday. Saving the world one at a time.

Harry then reached down his shirt and pulled out the gold locket and chain. He pulled out the piece of paper, which was starting to be worn out from being folded and refolded countless times. R.A.B.

He wanted so badly to know who that was, but he contented himself with staring at it while Ron and Hermione were on the slide holding hands.
