Chapter 3
Back to London
"Wait Harry, wait, said Dumbledore. He seemed to be out of breath because had ran all the way down to the train. Harry turned around. He noticed Professor Dumbledore standing behind him. "Yes, professor, what is it", asked Harry curiously. "I just wanted to give you this list I made up. These are some possible objects that Voldemort might have used as Horcruxes," replied Dumbledore. "Thank you, professor. This will be very helpful," said Harry. Dumbledore returned to the school.
Just as Harry was about to board the Hogwarts Express he noticed Ron and Hermione. "Hey Harry, what's that", asked Hermione. "Oh this? It's a list of Horcruxes," replied Harry. Harry, Ron and Hermione boarded the train. They took a seat. The train began to leave the school.
"What's on the list, Harry," asked Ron. "First of all are the two Horcruxes that I already eliminated. They are Tom Riddle's diary and Goldric Gryfindor's sword. Dumbledore believes that once I eliminate all of the Horcruxes I can finally kill You-Know-Who," replied Harry. Harry began reading the list of possible items. In it, Professor Dumbledore lists the following items:
Harry's scar
Voldemort's old wand
Goldric Gryfindor's Shield
….
Harry did not get a chance to finish reading the list. Hermione interrupted him.
"Harry we should give this list to the Aurors at the Ministry of Magic," said Hermione. "I know, but before we can do that we must take and pass the AQE (Auror's Qualification Exam), said Harry. "Do you know what this test involves," asked Ron. "I don't", replied Harry and Hermione in unison. "I'm going to write a letter to Moody, ask him what the test involves that way you and I can study," said Harry. "That is a good idea," said Hermione. Harry, Ron and Hermione were talking for about an hour before Malfoy entered there compartment.
"What do we have here," asked Malfoy looking at the list Harry was showing Ron and Hermione. "It's a list of Voldemort's hor…,"Hermione said. "Horcruxes. Ah! It looks as if the fool; Dumbledore does not think Harry can handle defeating Voldemort, said Malfoy arrogantly. "Harry's a great wizard, better than you'll ever be, replied Hermione coldly. "Oh shut up! I did not ask your opinion! You filthy little Mudblood. Hermione began crying. "Oh! Little Miss Mudblood is crying. I'll go call her filthy Muggle parents," replied Malfoy with hatred and arrogance. "Leave her alone," said Harry. Crabbe, Goyle and Malfoy started laughing. Harry pulled out his wand. He aimed it at Malfoy and yelled "Obliviate." He then punched Malfoy in the stomach. Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle left.
"Hermione are you ok," asked Harry, putting his arm around Hermione's shoulder. "I'll get over it, but thanks Harry," replied Hermione. "Bye the way, I didn't know you know a memory charm, said Hermione. "I saw Professor Lockhart do it 5 years ago in the Chamber of Secrets and I thought I'd give it a try," said Harry. "Funny I don't remember this," said Hermione. "That's because it was when you were petrified and laying the Hospital Wing, replied Ron. "Oh that explains it.," said Hermione.
"I hope the lady with the trolley comes soon. I'm starving," said Ron. At that moment, the lady arrived, "anything off the trolley," she asked. Harry got Bertie Bot's Every Flavor Beans. Hermione got piece of chocolate cake. Ron got gummy worms, Bertie Bot's Every Flavor Beans, and a couple chocolate frogs. The trio enjoyed there treats for the next 30 minutes of there journey. During that time, they did not say anything. After that, the trio began talking again.
After a few hours, Ron asked "How long until we arrive in London." Hermione looked at her watch. "We'll be there soon Ron, don't worry," replied Hermione. About 10 minutes later Harry, Ron and Hermione heard something; it was the captain of the train. He said "Attention all witches and wizards, welcome to London. ". The train stopped and everybody got off.
