The Silver Pin

"Wormtail," Voldomort hissed.

" Ye-yes, my lord?" Wormtail answered timidly.

" I'm not pleased with you, Wormtail." Voldomort turned to look at him, through the snake-like slits. " I have asked you to find the prisoner, and you have not found him. Draco Malfoy is dead, because you didn't take well enough care of him, and, if I am correct, my devices to keep myself alive, are being destroyed by the boy you where supposed to bring me."

Wormtail, who was shaking like mad, gasped. " My Lord, are you sure?"

" Wormtail, would I say something like that if I wasn't sure?" Voldomort answered, glaring at him.

" No, of course not." Wormtail answered quickly.

Voldomort smiled icily. " Good. What should I do about this problem that I have, Wormtail? You see, my servants and friends are not doing as I ask, and that does not suite me well."

Wormtail fell to the ground, and crawled forward, and kissed the hem of his room.

" Get up!" Voldomort bellowed, kicking him and sending him flying across the room.

Wormtail scurried up, limping slightly.

" Avada Kedavra!" Voldomort yelled, pointing his wand at a fly. There was a flash of green, and the fly to the ground, dead.

" I expect better, Wormtail. If I don't get what I want, you will not be feeling to well." Voldomort said, and snapped, signaling Wormtail to leave.

Harry woke with a start, his head sweaty.

I need to practice my oclumency. Harry thought, rubbing his forehead.

Harry sighed, and not giving it another thought, rolled over and went to sleep.

He started dreaming about flies chasing Voldomort, then Voldomort's nose turned into a clown nose, then he grew an orange wig, then the flies started yelling at him to go get the pie out of the oven.

But then, all of a sudden, everything, and he was in same place from his earlier where Voldomort almost always was.

" I want all of the remaining horcruxes brought to me, Wormtail. I don't know how many there are left, I want you to go look at all five places." Voldomort was instructing him.

" Yes my Lord." Wormtail answered, turning to leave, apparently recovered from Voldomort's earlier outburst.

" And Wormtail," Voldomort called after him. " No mistakes, or else."

Harry groaned, and rolled over. Someone was yelling in his ear.

" Harry, Harry wake up, you're groaning." Ron said, his voice sounding far away.

Harry opened his eyes. " Ron, we need to get everyone up, now."

Ron looked at him, confused. " Harry, I think you're still just recovering from your dream." Ron said uncertainly.

Harry shook his head. " No, I'm not. Voldomort, he's sent Wormtail after the Horcruxes, we need to get there before him."

Ron gulped. " Are you sure Harry?"

Harry nodded. " Positive. Please let's at least go wake Hermione and Ginny." Harry turned on his heal, not waiting for answer.

Harry slowly opened the door to the girl's room, and peeked in. Ginny had the covers up to her chin, while Harry couldn't even see Hermione.

" Harry! We shouldn't be in here." Ron whispered, coming up from behind him.

Harry glared at him. " We have to, Ron." And without another glance at him, he promptly went over to Ginny's bed, and shook her awake.

" Gin, wake up." Harry whispered.

Ginny turned over, and opened her eyes. " Harry? What are doing here?" She asked sleepily.

" I need to talk to you and Hermione." Harry replied, going over to Hermione's bed.

He carefully shook her awake. " Hermione, wake up."

A hand flew out from under the blanket, and slapped Harry across the face.

" Go 'way." Hermione mumbled

Harry looked over at Ginny, who was now sitting up, mostly awake and laughing.

" I meant to tell you, she doesn't wake up very easily."

Harry glared at her. " Thanks for telling me."

Ron, who had been standing beside the door, rolled his eyes. He went over to Hermione's bed, but before trying to wake her, he looked at Harry. " Watch a pro at work."

He leaned down, and whispered something in her ear, then backed away quickly.

Hermione bolted out bed, and then looked around the room, at the three spectators.

" Ronald Weasly! I am going to kill you!" Hermione yelped, glaring at him.

Harry looked at Ron. " Good job, mate."

Hermione turned to look at him, " What did you say?" She demanded.

" Nothing, nothing." Harry replied, staring straight into her eyes.

Hermione glared at him, then turned on her heel. " What do you want?" She snapped, as she busied herself making her bed.

" I had a dream, with Voldomort and Wormtail. Two, really." Harry replied.

Hermione didn't answer, neither did anyone else.

" In the first one, Voldomort was yelling at Wormtail, yelling at him for letting Malfoy die, and not finding Dumbledore, and his devices being destroyed." Harry paused, and looked at Hermione, who had a strange look on her face. " Then, in the second one, he told Wormtail to find the last horcruxes, and bring them to him. I don't think he knows about his mistake, that I'm a horcrux." Harry continued.

" Harry, that's pretty big." Ginny said, awed.

Hermione looked annoyed. " Yes of course it's big! We need to find the last one before they do, or this whole thing will be in trouble."

Ginny looked hurt. " I'm sorry." She mumbled.

Hermione sighed. " I'm sorry Ginny, it's just…I've been afraid that this would happen, and this really could put the entire mission in trouble."

Ginny smiled. " I know Hermione, but there is about twenty people searching for it, on our side. Voldomort isn't going to want to tell his Death Eaters to look for it, that would make him seem weak." Ginny looked at Harry.

" But Ginny," Hermione argued. " Voldomort knows where it is!"

Ginny's shoulders dropped. " Oh, I forgot."

" It's okay Gin." Harry said, rubbing her shoulders. " We'll find it, Voldomort is going to send Wormtail, who is not very bright, and he doesn't know which one is missing."

" Alright," Hermione said, taking lead. " We need to call a Order meeting, tell them to work even harder on finding it. We also need to find out a way to get rid of Harry's scar, and quickly." She finished, slipping on her slippers.

" Alright. Everyone should be up in about…" Ron looked at his watch. " Two more hours. It's five o'clock."

Hermione's cheeks turned red. " Alright then, let's get some more sleep." She said, in a no-nonsense tone.

Harry and Ron nodded, and left the room quickly, eager to get some more sleep.

Two and half hours later, the four had eaten, and was waiting for everyone else to finish, so they could down to business.

" Could they eat any slower?" Ron whispered.

Tonks looked up, apparently hearing him. " I could, want to see me try?" She teased.

" No!" Ron and Harry said at once, and then they realized that she was teasing.

Everyone laughed, though Hermione, Ron, Ginny, and Harry stopped pretty quickly.

" Please everyone, we need to hurry up and get this meeting over with." Ginny urged them.

" What is it you want to tell us that is so important, you're not getting married, are you?" Arthur asked teasingly.

Ginny looked at Harry. " Why is that when we have something serious to discuss, they have to be in a teasing mood?" She whispered, low enough that no one else heard.

" No, actually it has something to do with the horcruxes, sir." Harry replied, not looking at anyone.

Harry heard scraping of plates, and looked up see half of the table was done eating.

The other half finished up within a few moments, and they all followed the fours young adults into the dining room.

Once they where all seated, Harry stood up. " Hey everyone, sorry if we rushed you through breakfast, but I have something I really need to share." Harry looked around, and saw everyone was listening intently. " Well, last night I had two dreams. One was the normal, Voldomort yelling and torturing Wormtail. But the second one, it was different. Voldomort was telling Wormtail that he knew the horcruxes were being destroyed. He doesn't know how many are destroyed, so we still have an advantage. We need to find the last horcrux, before Wormtail. But," Harry continued. " We also need to get rid of my scar. So, I think Hermione should be in charge of researching, and three other people can help her, and the rest will help find the horcrux." Harry looked at Hermione, asking with his eyes if she agreed. She nodded, hiding her smile.

" Alright then, why doesn't Kingsley, Mrs. Weasly, Hestia Jones, and Elphias Doge help Hermione, the rest will be with me." Harry said, standing up. " Is there anything else we need to discuss?"

Remus and Mad-Eye both stood up. Remus nodded at Mad-Eye, and Mad-Eye sat back down, grunting quietly.

" Harry, there is something." Remus began. " Draco Malfoy. We can't just keep him in that room, if we do that, he'll never trust us and-"

Ron stood up. " We don't need him to trust us! He Draco Malfoy! The one sent to kill Dumbledore, the one that let the Death Eaters in."

" Ron, please." Hermione said gently, pulling him back into his seat.

Ron glared at her. " Hermione, how can you trust him? After all that he said to you, all those years."

" Ron, let's just listen to what Remus has to say." Mrs. Weasly said gently, from the other side of the table.

Ron's shoulders dropped, and he sat back down, sulking.

" As I was saying," Remus started again. " Malfoy will never trust us, and he will keep trying to find a way out, and someday, he'll find one. I think we should give him something to do, maybe let him help Hermione and the rest?"

Harry didn't answer for a moment. " I don't know Remus. That's a big risk, what if he tries something?"

" We'll be there!" Hestia Jones piped up.

Kingsley and Doge nodded vigoursly.

" Yes, we'll be there Potter!" Doge said, in his wheezy voice.

Harry looked doubtful. " I don't know…"

" Harry, let him." Hermione said quietly, ignoring Ron's look of feiry. " Remus is right, if he finds a way out, then we're all in trouble."

Harry sighed. " I suppose, but he can't have a wand, and he can't go anywere by himself. And he has to have a anti-apperation spell on him." Harry said, as an afterthought.

Ron nodded Firmly. " Ya."

" Okay, we can do that." Hermione replied, rolling her eyes at Ginny.

" Alright then, let's get to work. We need to go find it as soon as possible." Harry said, and everyone left the room.

Two day's later, they where having another meeting. Dumbledore had found something, and they where having a meeting to discuss how to get rid of it.

" Before Voldomort came to power, when he just Tom Riddle, there was a Dark Wizard named Grindelwald. I killed him, as it says on my Chocolate Frog card." Dumbledore said, his eyes twinkiling.

" Well, Voldomort replaced him. When Grindelwald was killed, he was wearing a silver pin. It had a serpant on it, with green emerald eyes. A few years after that, the pin went missing. I believe the pin is the is the horcrux we are looking for. All we need to do is find where it is. I have a theory on that also," Dumbledore looked at Harry seroisly. " I believe it is where Grindelwald was killed. Harry, do you know how Knockturn Alley got it's reputation?" Dumbledore asked abrubtly.

Harry shook his head.

" Well, that is the place where Grindelwald was killed. I believe there is a place somewere there, that holds the pin. If it is even a horcrux, of course." Dumbledore correrected himself.

Harry nodded, as he took it all in. " Alright, so you think we should check that out?"

Dumbledore shook his head. " No, I think someone should check it out, Harry. Knockturn Alley is one of the most dangerous places in the world for you to be right now."

Harry rolled his eyes. " Sir, I don't mean to be rude, but don't you think I'm used to being in dangerous situations buy now?"

Dumbledore nodded, his face still grave. " Yes I do, Harry. But that doesn't mean you should go right away. A few people can go, and if they find something, you can go after words, and destroy the horcrux."

Harry sighed loudly, causing a few people to smile. " Fine, they can go first. Mad-Eye should go, though."

Mad-Eye nodded. " Cus of me eye, right?"

Harry nodded. " Yes sir. Do you think five people is to many?"

" No, I think that's fine." Dumbledore replied, a twinkle in his eye.

Harry nodded. " Well, who else wants to go?"

Six people raised their hands, Remus, Kingsley, who was puffing out his chest, Bill, Mr. Weasly, though he was looking nervous, Ron, and Tonks.

Harry looked around at the six, mentally deciding who would be best.

" Alright, I think Remus, Bill, Tonks, and Kingsley, with Mad-Eye should do it." Harry decided.

They five nodded.

" Alright then, you five can go do that as soon as your ready, though sooner rather than later would be better, and the rest of us will stay here." Harry said, standing up to go.

Everyone else nodded, and stood up and filed out of the room quietly.

Harry was woken up early the next morning by Ginny. " Harry, they found something. We're having a meeting, then you'll go."

Harry sat up quickley, and bolted out bed. Ginny left, and he got dressed, then after waking up Ron, they hurried downstairs.

" Okay, Mad-Eye said that there is a chamber under a empty shop, that is where the horcrux is. We checked it out, and there is a small thing on the wall in the shop, you push it, and that's how you get down." Remus announced, looking at Harry carefully.

Harry nodded. " Okay, well why doesn't Ron, Remus, Proffesor Dumbledore, and Mad-Eye come with me. We don't want to many people." Harry said, looking sideways at Ginny, who had opened her mouth to protest.

They nodded, all looking slightly nervous in their own way.

" Everyone else, just wait here. I don't know how long this will take." Harry said, breathing deeply.

" Let's eat, then we can go." Harry said, looking at the four.

Dumbledore nodded, and led the way to the kitchen.

An hour later, it was six o'clock, and everyone was ready to go.

" Harry, be careful." Ginny whispered.

Harry nodded. " I will, don't worry."

Ron, who was being hugged by an emoitonal Mrs. Weasly, looked at Harry pleadingly.

" Alright!" Harry called, getting the rooms attention. " We need to go now, before too many people are around."

They nodded, and gathered around Harry.

" Okay, we're going to apperate there, then we'll go to the store, and down to the chamber." Harry announced, and smiling at Ginny, disapperated to Knockturn Alley.

When Harry got there, he saw it looked different. There was not quite as many people as last time, and it was completely dark, execpt the lanterns people where holding, and the lights in the window.

Everyone got there quickly, and Remus, after making sure everyone was there, lead the way to the shop.

" This is it." He whispered. Harry stepped forward, and pushed open the door.

The room was empty, a concrete floor, wallpaper coming off, and an abandoned fireplace.

" Wow." Ron whispered.

Harry nodded, and looked at Remus.

" The button is over there." Mad-Eye grunted.

Harry went over to the wall, examining it closely. He slowly reached out, and stuck his finger on the button, and pushed.

The floor disappeared from below him, and he fell about five feet, hitting thr ground with a thud.

" Alright?" Ron called, looking over the edge.

" Ya, come on down." Harry called back.

Ron jumped down, follwed by Remus and Proffesor Dumbledore. Mad-Eye, though, hesitated. " I think I'll be a watch out." He called down.

Harry nodded. " Okay, yell if you see anyone."

Harry looked around the room, and saw a a large metal door. He walked slowly towards it, and pushed it open.

Inside, the room was completely metal, painted a cold blue color. On the other side of the room, there was a jar, filled with a red watery substance.

Harry started to walk across the room, but as soon as his shoes touched the metal, he jumped back in pain. The metal wa so hot, it felt as though it was on fire.

" Harry, what's the matter?" Remus asked, concerned.

Harry looked at the floor. " It's hot, to hot to walk on."

" If my suspicions are correct, then the floor has a sensing charm on it, and whenever someone steps on it, it heats up." Dumbledore said, examing it carefully.

Harry nodded, sure he was right.

" How can we get around it?" Ron asked.

No one answered him.

" Maybe we can apperate across it." Harry said.

Dumbledore nodded. " It's worth a try. Why don't I try?"

Dumbledore quickly disappered, and re-appered across the room. He jumped, and was gone with a pop.

" No, that doesn't work." He said, rubbing his feet.

Harry thought for a second. " The only we can get across, then, is to fly. But I don't have a broom."

Remus laughed. " Harry, why don't you go get it? You can disapperate now, remember?"

Harry blushed. " Oh ya." He mumbled, and quickly went back to Black Manor, and got his broom, and apperated back into the room.

"
Got it." He said, to the room full of men.

He got onto his broom, and flew acroos the room, grabbed the jar, and flew back.

Harry set his broom down, and looked at the jar. The red liquid was swirling around, becoming a very vibrant red.

Harry slowly opened the jar, and jumped back. " It smells terrible!"

He started to reach his hand inside, but it was pulled back quickly by Mad-Eye, who had been observing from above, and seeing what was inside, jumped down.

" Don't touch that!" He growled. " Don't you know what that is!"

Harry shook his head, and looked around the room.

" It's ground-up Sweden Herbane rocks!" Mad-Eye replied, setting the jar down. " Do you know what that is, boy?"

Harry shook his head again, and saw Ron's face had gone white, and Remus was shaking.

" Sweden Herbane rocks are a lava rock, that when touched, blows up. When ground up, the blast is even more powerful, so much that it can destroy an entire city." Dumbledore said wisely, his face very grave.

" Well how can I get whatever it is in there, out then?" Harry said, his voice strained.

Remus looked at Mad-Eye. " Belladonian."

Harry looked at him. " I'm sorry? What did you say?"

" Belladonian. It's a mixture of the Belladona plant, and spring water." Remus said, his eyes twinkling not un-like Dumbledores.

" Alright…then let's get some Belladonian." Harry said, wondering how someone figured that out.

Dumbledore smiled, and transfigured a rock into a jar of the clear potion.

Harry went over and grabbed it, and poured it over the grounded up rocks.

The liquid turned from blaring red, to a creamy orange color.

" Can I stick my hand in there now?" Harry asked.

Remus shrugged. " Yes, but I would dump it out."

Harry turned over the jar, and poured the contenents out.

Once they where out on the floor, Harry sat a shiny silver pin, with a serpant on it, that had green emerald eyes.

Harry picked it up, and looked at it. " This is it."

He looked around the room for something that could crush it.

Ron handed him a medium sized rock.

Harry raised it over his head, as the others backed away slightly, and he dropped it, letting it down on the pin with a crash. There was a flash of red that went streaming up from the broken remains of the pin, and Harry fell backwards, in a faint.

A/N Hey everyone, so I feel the need to apolgize for this chapter, it was insane. Don't ask me how I decided to do milk, but I did. Then I went a re-did it, so now it's a bit more…relistic. So from milk to Belladonian( Which, FYI, is not a real potion, but Belladona is a real plant, I just mixed it with water, and got Belladonian.), that is my insane self. So here it people, hope you like it! Review!
