Sorry I havent updated! You know,the homework...the homework...lol.Well here it is! R&R plz!
Oliver seemed to like it at the Weasley house.He squeezed his meagre belongings into Ron's attic room with great difficulty,and to much moaning from Ron.Whenever Harry,Ron and Hermione wanted to talk alone together about the four remaining Horcruxes,Oliver would appear as if from nowhere,reading his mysterious black book.To cap it all,Hermione and Ron weren't speaking to each other much.Ron tried to start conversation but Hermione would only mumble vague answers whilst hiding behind a book.Harry wondered how Ron and Hermione could think that he didn't know that something was wrong between them.
"You know what?"Ron said when they had finally shaken off Oliver."I reckon one of the Horcruxes could be a person." Harry thought of Oliver's pale,white hands,his dark hair and his ability to appear at just the wrong time.It seemed perfectly plausible. Hermione peered round her book with her eyebrows raised at Ron.
"Don't be silly.A human isn't dependent on itself.It needs food,clothes,nourishment.Voldemort just made the Horcruxes so he could hide them, he didn't want them walking around.A human life is just so..." She stopped,almost as if she was no longer talking to them but to herself. "Destructable."She finished,disappearing again. Ron looked exasperated.
"Ron's got a point,though,Hermione,I mean-"
The door creaked open.An annoyingly familiar dark head peered around it.
"Hermione,can I borrow a book?"He asked,as though the words cost him much effort."Please?"
"Er...Ok.Which one?"Hermione looked surprised.
"Hogwarts:A History.Please."He repeated.Although his tone was expressionless,the words sounded like an order.
Hermione rummaged around in a large shoulder bag that she had taken to carrying around,pulling out a well-thumbed copy of the book.She handed it to him almost reluctantly.Oliver thanked her and backed out of the room.
"It's so hard to watch them fly the nest,isn't it,Hermione?"Ron said in a mock-sympathetic tone."They grow up so fast..."
"Oh shut up,Ron." She said good naturedly,pulling a dusty book out of the bag.
"Wait a second..."Ron said with evident realisation."Hogwarts:A History? Complete with facts about Dumbledore?"He glanced at Harry.
"My point exactly."Harry said."And the hair,and the..."His voice faded,he didn't want to burden Ron with more troubles.
"Oh God.So that's him,then?"Ron's face paled."We're not safe anywhere!"
Hermione looked at them both scathingly.
"Guess who your precious Oliver is,Hermione?"Ron began grimly.
