It was the day when the trio decided it was time to leave. They slowly said goodbye to everybody in the Gryffindor common room. The room held some very good memories for them. After saying goodbye to everyone except for one person Harry headed to that last person. He touched Ginny cheek with the edge of his finger and at a loss for words he slowly moved his finger away and exited the common room along with Ron and Hermione. As they left Harry thought he could hear a sob but pushed it out of his mind.
Before leaving Harry, Ron, and Hermione had to go up to McGonagall and tell her that they were leaving. They stood at the stone gargoyle. Harry remembered the times he had stood here. He knew that whenever he was unsure about anything he could always talk to Dumbledore, now all that was gone. The image of Dumbledore getting hit by the curse crept into his mind. He tried not to think about it but he couldn't. Hastily Ron said the password noticing that Harry was having a difficult time saying anything. They stepped on the staircase and waited for it to carry them to the door. When they knocked on the door Harry half expected to hear Dumbledore's calm voice saying, "enter," but instead came McGonagall's voice. Hermione quickly told McGonagall that they would be leaving the school and not returning.
"And why is that?" she asked.
"Our reason is between me and Dumbledore," said Harry, "and confidentiality still stands even if a person dddies." Harry stuttered on the last word but finally managed to say it.
After a few minutes of refusing the Headmistresses' offers to stay they exited the office and made their way outside. They had thought about the cup a lot over the past week and concluded that it could only be in one place: The Forbidden Forest. They walked into the forest with Ron shivering a little bit. He recalled the time when they had to find Aragog inside the forest and then run away from his whole pack.
They walked for just about and hour when they saw it, a clearing with 10 death eaters and at the center, Hufflepuff's cup. They looked at each other with slightly scared faces.
"We are Gryffindors for a reason you know." Said Harry and they jumped out into the clearing.
"Aaah, Potter it's about time you came," said a hooded Death Eater that Harry recognized as Lucios Malfoy, "I thought for sure that you were too much of a sissy to come at all."
"Shut it Malfoy" said Hermione.
"I see the little mudblood has joined," continued lucios.
"Don't you ever call her a mudblood" said Ron standing up for the girl he loved.
"And of course are little red headed blood-traitor." Lucios said with a smirk on his face. With that said Harry sent the spell that began the entire duel. They fought for a very long time until finally all the death eaters were bound in ropes with their wands snapped in half. Harry slowly came forward, grabbed the cup, and did the spell that would destroy the Horcruxe.
After doing what he had to do he walked away from the clearing with Ron and Hermione and with the cup in his hand. They started walking back out of the forest when they saw something moving in the bush. Harry signaled for Ron and Hermione to draw their wands. They moved closer and closer until they finally got to the bush and pulled out whatever had moved it. Looking up at them was none other than Draco Malfoy with a scared face.
"Wait, don't kill me I can explain!"
