Thanks to Jedi Knight 3 for reviewing the last chapter & reminding me that Hogsmeade trips were all cancelled! So the last two chapters have been edited! Thank you!

Recap!

Hermione had finished preparing and was descending from the stairs.

Ron and Harry both looked at her and were shocked.

"Whoa." Ron said, with his jaw dropping. "Y- You look pretty." He said in his squeaky voice.

"Thanks, you look nice as well." Hermione said with a smile.

When Crystal was finished, the group of four went off the Great Hall for the Halloween costume ball.

Oh and just a disclaimer: All the characters and plot and stuff obviously don't belong to me. Just the original characters and stuff that you've never seen from the wonderful Harry Potter books. If you haven't read those yet, then… well… get reading them! Because they really rock! Ha ha. Anyways, they belong to the awesome J.K. Rowling!

Anyways, on with the story!

"Oh my goodness! I am absolutely exhausted!" Crystal said in the Great Hall at breakfast.

"Me too!" Hermione agreed.

"Well I personally am glad that we have no lessons today!" Ron said, helping himself to another pancake.

"Oh look! The morning post!" Harry said, noticing the owls swooping in.

"Ah! Daily Prophet! How many deaths today?" Ron asked.

"Hey! Listen to this!" Harry said, reading the Daily Prophet, "With zero murders in the past three days, Ministry officials are questioning what He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named has been up to…"

"Zero murders?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Hmm, I think it means that Voldemort is planning something big." Harry said, as a couple shivers went around. "Oh give me a break! If we submit to Voldemort's desire to have his name feared, then it only gives him more power."

"Well, I guess you're right Harry. V-Voldemort is probably planning something big. But what?" Ron asked.

Suddenly, a great flash of red erupted, followed by a large noise.

"What the bloody-" Ron asked.

"MR. POTTER! MISS COLLIER!" Professor McGonagall cried. "WE ARE BEING ATTACKED AGAIN! GET EVERYBODY IN THEIR TOWERS NOW!"

"WHAT THE-!? IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY!?" Ron cried. He and Hermione alerted all the prefects and went off to help Harry and Crystal get all the students in their towers.

The parents and family staying on the other side of Hogwarts were alerted and some went to help fight the Death Eaters off.

As soon as all the students were in their towers, Harry and Crystal went off to help the battle.

Running to the battle, Harry dodged a red jet of light, and shot a disarming spell at the Death Eater.

After several curses being thrown around, a jet of green and a familiar scream was heard and all of the Death Eaters tried running out as quickly as possible.

All the professors and Harry binded the Death Eaters as quickly as possible and got the ones running away, for the Aurors that had just arrived.

"Where is Crystal?" Harry wondered. His eyes suddenly widened as he saw a body lying on the ground, lifeless.

"NO!" Harry screamed, and went down to her lifeless body, "PROFESSOR MCGONAGALL!"

The professors all rushed to Harry and saw that Crystal Collier had been murdered by a Death Eater.

Harry was taken to the Hospital Wing and was given a potion for shock, and he fell into a deep sleep.

In his dream…

"Harry! Are you alright?" asked James.

"Wha-? Dad?" Harry questioned amazingly.

"Look, Crystal Collier was killed for a reason! She carries something that is very crucial to Voldemort!" James said, "Voldemort had set a Death Eater to kill her, hoping that her body would be buried away forever, along with her necklace! I don't know how it got in her possession, but she carries the Ravenclaw Necklace! Just think Harry!"

"It's a horcrux?" Harry asked.

"Yes! You need to get it now!" James looked around, "Look, I have to go now. Take care, and good luck! I love you." James said.

Harry suddenly woke up.

"Professor McGonagall!" Harry cried.

"What do you need Potter?" asked the Headmistress, rushing in as she was passing by.

"Please tell me you haven't taken Crystal's body! I need her necklace!" Harry said.

"Why?" she asked.

"I can't explain now, but it is very important that I get that necklace! Please!" Harry cried impatiently.

The Headmistress nodded and quickly rushed out to obtain Crystal's necklace, leaving Harry to ponder.

"But how will I destroy the Horcrux?" Harry questioned himself.

Professor McGonagall came back holding a silver locket with a blue 'R' on the eagle shaped necklace.

"Thank you Professor." Harry said excitedly as she rushed out the room with Harry hoping he had found the horcrux.

"Mr. Potter?" asked Madam Pomfrey, "You may leave when you feel better."

"Thank you." Harry said, and held the necklace in his fist while exiting the Hospital Wing.

He took the necklace to the common room to ask Ron and Hermione for help.

"Ron! Hermione!" Harry called, and explained to them what he was holding.

"Wow! Could it really be?" Hermione hushed.

"Yes, but I need to know how to kill it!" Harry replied.

"Hmm…" Hermione said, as they studied it for a long period of time.

"Well, shouldn't we think about Ravenclaw's background?" Ron suddenly said, breaking the silence.

"Oh! Ron you're a genius!" Hermione exclaimed, "Well, Ravenclaw is known for its intelligence, knowledge, and wit right?"

"Maybe we're supposed to open the locket!" Harry replied excitedly.

Hermione tried opening the locket. "How?" She questioned, frustrated.

Ron took the necklace and banged it against the desk. Harry and Hermione gasped, but saw that the necklace had opened. A paper fell out.

Hermione read it aloud,

As the mighty stone bird calls,

Soaring from the sky,

Closer to the fall.

But heed my cry,

There is more than meets the eye.

"What does that mean?" Harry pondered out loud.

Hermione analyzed it for a few seconds and her face brightened.

"I think it means that we need to find the statue of an eagle made for Rowena Ravenclaw." Hermione said.

Harry's eyes flashed, "Of course! You are brilliant! There are four statues made after the four founders by the Astronomy Tower!"

The trio ran to the Astronomy Tower and discovered an eagle statue, a badger statue, a serpent statue, and a lion statue.

"There is more to the riddle though!" Hermione said. "More than meets the eye, more than meets the eye… what could that mean?"

"Hey look at this!" Ron said, looking in the beak of the eagle.

Harry and Hermione looked in the beak and noticed an eagle shape dented in that looked exactly like the necklace.

"Put the necklace in!" Harry cried.

Hermione pushed the necklace in the dent, and the eagle sprang to life. The beak hole widened, and Ron, Harry, and Hermione were sucked into the eagle.

Everything went black.
