A man dressed in all black, a hood over his head, kneeled down, his head lowered. "It has been completed, Master. The Horcrux has been created."

"Good, good," came a snake like voice from the shadows. "Keep in eye on it."

Trinity awoke, her hand automatically lifting to her side. Even though she was still in pain, the snake bite was gone.

"Hey."

Trinity looked to her left to see Ron sitting in a chair next to her. He looked as if he had been sleeping, uncomfortably. She glanced around and realized that she was in the Hospital Wing back at Hogwarts.

"Hey," Trinity said. "What happened?"

"You passed out after we had Apparated back here," Ron said, sitting up in his chair. "Madam Pomfrey said it was just a really bad bite and then she went off on some tirade about letting kids wander off all nilly-willy. She's had many conversations with herself before but that one was pretty entertaining. . . . Anyway, she said you can leave whenever you want."

"What time is it? How long have I been in here?"

"Um, going on noon and since we got back from the mansion so about half a day."

Trinity opened her mouth to comment when she realized something. A small smile came to her face. "Did you stay here with me?"

Ron's cheeks got red. "Um, well, yeah, but . . . uh, someone had to make sure you were okay."

"Oh . . . right."

Ron held out his hand and helped her out of the bed. "Hermione and Harry want us to meet them up in the common room."

Still holding onto her, Ron took Trinity back to the Common Room.

The four friends stared at the paper that lay between them.

"Something's missing," Harry said into the silence.

They all knew that. It was so plain to see. But what could it be.

"Okay, let's just try to go over this again," Hermione said, picking up the paper. "Harry destroyed the diary in second year."

"That's one," said Ron.

"Then Dumbledore destroyed the Gryffindor's sword and Slytherin's ring."

"That's three."

"And this year, we've destroyed Hufflepuff's cup, R.A.B's locket, and Nagini."

"That's six."

The four friends looked at each other. "There's supposed to be seven," Harry said.

"Maybe it's something of Ravenclaw's?" Ron said.

"Ravenclaw had very few personal items besides her books and those aren't sentimental enough," Hermione said.

Trinity thought back to the Riddle mansion. They hadn't found anything that had belonged to Voldemort except for Nagini. It was very unlikely that he had used anything of his fathers.

You're just like me now.

Trinity lifted her head from her hands, her eyes wide.

Nagini had said that.

And her dream from before she awoke.

The Horcrux has been created.

"Trinity?"

She looked up at her friends, who looked worried. "What is it?"

"Your eyes," Ron said. "They looked red for a minute."

Trinity jumped up from the table, moving away. "Oh merlin. . . ."

She sunk to her knees, the fight and her strength leaving her. Ron rushed over to her. "What's wrong, Trinity? Are you still feeling sick?"

She was now.

She looked up at her friends. "I'm the last Horcrux."
