Some weeks had passed since that day that Hermione had gone to the past. Dumbledore had decided that Snape and Hermione were even enough to go out together on the mission. The mission was to take as many horcruxes out as possible. "Are you sure this is the place?" asked Snape. Professor for the last time yes. As difficult as it is for you to understand we need to talk to him. I know he isn't your favorite person because of what he and the others did to you, but please at least try to be civil." Hermione tapped on the door as Snape stood there looking agitated and heard him mumble he would be if the idiot could be. It wasn't even a minute later when the door opened to reveal Sirius Black. Hermione smiled as Snape scowled. "Yes, may I help you?" "Yes, you can, but may we step inside?" asked Hermione. Sirius looked between the two before ushering the two inside.

Once inside the three made their way to the kitchen while Snape gave Sirius death glares. "Please take a seat, "said Sirius. Hermione and Snape took a seat next to each other while Sirius sat across from them. "Now What exactly can I help you two with. Albus told me I would have some visitors but didn't tell me who and now I see why" "Well this will be a bit difficult to believe but I am Hermione Granger." Sirius looked like he wanted to start laughing sarcastically. "Impossible. I don't know who you are, but you most definitely are not Hermione Granger."

Hermione was about to object when Snape spoke up. "On the contrary Black, she is indeed. Now the question is if you can get it through your tiny little head." Snape said icily. Sirius slammed his hands down on the table as he stood up knocking his chair up. "How dare you Snape. You think you know everything, but you don't. You are nothing but a sniveling little snake!" Snape whipped his wand out Hermione barely had time to react.

"Expelliarmus!"

Both their wands flew into her hand. "Enough! Now you listen here Sirius Black. Unless you value your life, you will help me. You have less than a year left to live unless you help I won't be able to do anything for you. I will not… No, I refuse to see Harry put through that again." Sirius slowly sat back down. "What happens to me?" Hermione looked away unsure as to what to tell him. "Please," he begged. "Your own cousin kills you and it tears Harry apart. He was in pieces for months afterwards." "What can I do?" asked Sirius. "There is a piece of Voldemort in this house and Professor Snape and I need to destroy it," said Hermione. Hermione thought she heard Sirius whisper Regulus but didn't comment on it.

"Where do we start?" asked Sirius. "That my dear Sirius is simple. We must start with Kreacher," she said. The three stood up and went to get Kreacher.
