They arrived via railway. Draco was disgusted that they were forced to use Muggle transportation. Blaise didn't say much; he was sick most of the ride.
Snape had contacted them in Versailles, not apologizing for the delay that caused a near miss with the Golden Trio. That was service to the Dark Lord, he told them sharply when Draco complained. Taking risks for the greater good. They didn't believe it.
They were to hide the Horcrux in Spain. They hiked for three days, then waited. They slept in a cave this time, thinking longingly of their dirty, but civilized, lodgings in France. What they would give for a cigarette.
Draco paced the cave night after night, waiting. Eventually He would have to come.
