The next day Harry and Tracey were in Dumbledore's office.
"Potters." someone said.
They turned around and saw McGonagall.
"Enlighten of recent events, if either of you should have the need to talk to someone..."
Harry and Tracey started leaving.
"You should know,"
They looked at her and listened.
"You meant a great deal to him."
Later that night Harry, Ron, Tracey and Hermione were outside on the balcony.
"Did you think he would have done it, Draco?" Hermione asked.
"No. No he was lowering his wand." Harry said.
"It was Snape. It was always Snape. We trusted him like mum said we could, but we did nothing." Tracey said.
Harry handed Hermione the locket.
"It's fake. Open it." he said.
She opened it and unfolded the paper.
"To the Dark Lord,
I know I will be dead long before you read this but I want you to know that it was I who discovered your secret. I have stolen the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as I can. I face death in the hope that when you meet your match, you will be mortal once more.
R.A.B
R.A.B?" she said.
"We're not entirely sure but we have an idea who." Tracey said.
"But wherever they are they have the real Horcrux. Which means it was all a waste." Harry said.
Then they turned around and leaned on arm.
"Ron's OK with it you know Harry."
He looked at her.
"You and Ginny. If I were you I'd keep the snogging to a minimum." Hermione said.
"We're not coming back Hermione. We've got to finish whatever Dumbledore started. And we don't know where that will leave us. But we'll let you know where we are when we can." Harry said.
"I've always admired your courage, Harry, Tracey. But sometimes, you two can be really thick. You don't really think you're going to be able to find all those Horcruxes by yourself, do you? You need us, Harry, Tracey." Hermione said.
"I never realized how beautiful this place was." Harry said.
Then they saw Fawkes flying by.
They were going to be busy next year. But to end the war they'll do anything.
