CHAPTER 3
They flooed to Grimmauld place 12 looking for the horcrux.
"Where should we start searching?" Ron asked.
"Maybe we should- I know! Do you know when we 2 years ago cleaned up here? There was a locket that none of us could open. We could ask Kreacher if he could find it to us, he knows this place best" Hermione said happily.
"You're the brain!" Ron said excitedly. Hermione nodded in thanks.
"Kreacher!" Harry shouted out. It was a 'crack' and there Kreacher was. He mumbled something about 'mudblood and half-blood' as usual.
"Shut up and do as I say" Harry said and Kreacher shutted up at once. "Could you please bring the locket that none of us could open? If you know which one I mean?" Kreacher went to his cupboard. The trio waited for him in the living-room. A few minutes later Kreacher came back with the locket Harry recognized. This was it, thanks to Regulus.
"So, what should we do to it?" Ron asked looking at the other.
"Hmm, maybe… you have to put it in pieces or get it destroyed in some other way… stab it or something." Harry answered. "I know a good destroying spell, read about it a few days ago. We have to go a few feet back" he continued and they all went back. He could feel the same as he felt when he had held the diary, it felt like a horcrux.
"Ready? This is a quite powerful one and I don't know about destroying horcruxes that much." Harry said and the others nodded.
"Obiekto desstroia!" Harry shouted and the locket exploded. Harry felt cold and somehow like his own soul would be poorer. After the explosion they saw a mist coming up and vanish. Harry was stunned and couldn't move in a few minutes. When he looked up he saw that Ron and Hermione had felt the same because they lied on the floor and looked a bit lifeless. A few minutes later they all went to normal. It was a quite scary experience. It was certainly a horcrux.
"Why did that happen to all of us?" Ron asked Harry but Hermione answered.
"Destroying horcruxes is powerful things to do. I don't know what it was but there must be some logical answer. Was it like this when you destroyed the diary also?"
"No" Harry replied calmly "It was maybe because the memory had come outside it already. The mist was probably the soul, and it was maybe it coming out that made us feel so … cold and empty"
"Well, now there is just 3 horcruxes left" Ron said "And Voldemort himself" Ron had learned to say Voldemort's name by now. Then they all back flooed back to the Burrow.
The next day it was Harry's apparating-test. Ron came there too because he had to take his test a second time. They both managed it and that was good now when they had to find the other horcruxes, they could apparate away if they felt like they were in danger. They were this day going to go to the children's home that Voldemort lived in as a kid.
Harry held Ron and Hermione and focused on the place he had seen in Dumbledore's memory. It was hard but they managed it. And there they were, outside it.
"So this is it?" Ron asked
"Yes." Harry answered.
They went inside. They walked a little in the hall.
"Excuse me but who are you three looking for?" A woman's voice said behind them.
"Err…" Harry began "Tom Riddle. We need to know which room were his for about 70 years ago."
"Excuse me but why?"
"We are… searching information of him for … his relatives" Hermione said impressive.
"Ok, I have a catalogue with all the kids that been here, and some information of them"
"Could you please show us all information you have about Tom Riddle?" Hermione asked again.
"Ok" the woman said as she started to search in all the drawers for 'R' as Riddle. The trio looked excited at her. Hermione's story was quite convincing.
"Here it is" the woman said suddenly. She gave them a catalogue with documents and stuff to them.
"Thanks, and which room was Tom's?" Hermione replied decent.
"Room 54 over there" The woman said pointing at a door about twenty feet from them.
"Can we go and look in it?" Ron asked suddenly.
"Yes, it's empty right now." The woman replied.
"Thank you" the trio said in unison. Then the trio took the catalogue and went away to room 54.
"So this is it" Ron said a little frightened "quite scary if you think who has lived here"
"We can't think about that now. Come on, we have to find it!" Harry said. The trio started to search but Harry felt something from the closet. He felt somehow magic from there or something. "I think I know where it is, if it's anywhere in this place" he almost whispered to the others.
"How d'you know that?" Ron asked confused.
"I feel it." Harry replied.
"You really are powerful" Ron said. They all stood now by the closet. Harry opened it with alohomora. There was a door. Harry opened it also. Behind it was a passage which lead somewhere from the room. It was dark and poky. But with three 'lumos' later they could see a little bit more.They all walked anyway bravely to where it would lead.
"Is that what I think it is?" Harry asked the other when he saw something in front of him. It looked like snakes, thousands of snakes.
"Snakes?" Ron asked terrified.
"It looks like that." Harry replied. "Don't worry I'll talk to them"
"What are all you doing here?" Harry asked in parseltongue.
"Protecting an item. Anyone getting forward from here who isn't what we are will die.." A snake replied. Harry thought about that.
"It said only snakes can go there. I have to use my animagus form." Harry said. "But you two have to get away" Harry continued. The two nodded and went away.
Harry mumbled the form and felt weird again. Now he was in pyton form. The other snakes let him go forward and his heart started to bump faster. He went forward. He saw the passage becoming small and smaller and in the end almost like a tube. Suddenly he saw something glitter in front of him. It was Horcrux nr.4, Hufflepuffs's cup. Harry took it in his mouth and went back. It felt weird that the other snakes didn't see that he had a big bump in his cheeks. He went past the snakes and saw his wand he took it also in his mouth and when he was plenty past the snakes he transfigurated back to human. When Harry took his wand and the cup and walked back to the beginning of the passage. A few minutes later he saw the door.
"Alohomora" He mumbled and opened it. There was the second door and he did the same to it.
"Harry!" It was Hermione.
"Let's just get this catalogue and go home, I don't really like this place." He said. They all apparated back to the Burrow.
At the Burrow they noticed no one was home. It was all quiet.
"Let's destroy the horcrux right away!" Ron suggested.
"We have to go to Grimmauld place, we can't take the risk doing it here." Hermione said.
"Hermione's right, lets go to Grimmauld place." Harry said. Then they all apparated to Grimmauld place.
They put the cup at the same table that they had put the locket some days before.
"Are you ready?" Harry asked
"Yes" They replied in unison. Harry turned to the cup took his wand and shouted:
"Obiekto desstroia!" Now they were prepared to all that would happen so they werenät that shocked when they woke up some time after this.
"And now back, I'm hungry" Ron said rubbing his stomach.
"You're always hungry" Hermione whined but the other ignored her. And then they all just apparated to the Burrow.
The trio went upstairs to Ron's room to practice and theorize about the remaining horcruxes. 4 down and 2 left + Voldemort himself. They talked and practiced.
"But I'm still wondering if Voldemort can feel when we destroy a part of his soul?" Hermione asked
"That's something I would like to know too. And what other things you've been hiding from me" a voice said from the doorway. It was a furious Ginny standing there. The trio had forgotten to put the silencing charms and everything on the room. Ginny glared furiously at them and the Ron, Hermione and Harry blushed and started to look at their feet.
"What are you three hiding from me?" Ginny asked still glaring at them. The trio were now in trouble. How could they explain all this stuff to her? Gulp.
Feedback please:D
