Chapter 21:
Caught
The Diagon Alley confirmed everyone's fears, Voldemort was powerful and he was ready to start the war, sooner then everyone had thought. Harry and the others knew they had destroyed a Horcrux, Voldemort knew that too. Harry thought the reason for Voldemort's readiness was more to do with fear then anything else. Voldemort knew he had one more Horcrux left and so did Harry. Harry knew they were getting closer and Voldemort was afraid that he would lose if the final Horcrux was found.
"We have to work harder!" Harry said as he and Ginny prepared for work.
"Everyone's working as hard as they can," Ginny replied. "Voldemort's scared, that's why he's going to make mistakes."
"He may be fearful be he's smart, very smart," Harry sighed. "I mean come on his curse on the Defence Against Dark Arts Post at Hogwarts still exists. He made seven Horcrux, I don't think he will ever make a mistake we can take advantage. He would have thought everything through."
"So what are you saying? He's invincible?"
"No, he's not, no one is. There's a way to beat him and I'm going to find it," Harry hugged Ginny. "Even if it kills me," He thought.

Hermione was busy all morning, there were numerous attacks during the day which was rare, what was even weirder was half the attacks were fake. Hermione didn't understand why people were faking calls. It had never happened before. She assumed it was the death eaters but she wasn't sure. She usually thought about Draco while she worked, after an incident or something but today it was different, she thought about their future:
I love him, I know that I do, more then life itself. But our love…he says we can have kids and that we have a future, but do we? The war is coming, we're on opposite sides, and either of us could die, then what? I can't live without him, I know I can't. This attraction we had, it turned to love, it shouldn't have but it did. He shares everything with me, if the death eaters plan to attack he tells me…what if Voldemort finds out? Then what? He'll kill Draco……did I start something I can't handle? No, I love him and no matter what I will fight for him. When the war comes it will come, and we will fight…together. Voldemort won't find out and Draco won't die, I can't think like that, it'll ruin everything.
"Hermione," Ginny smiled as she entered the office.
"Yeah?" Hermione smiled looking up from her desk, it was nearly time for her to go and she was just finishing off the paperwork.
"I think I've figured out the seventh Horcrux, and why we can't find it," Ginny started. "Harry isn't here and I know…"
Hermione looked up, "Tell me Ginny."
"It all made sense, this morning- Voldemort didn't have time to make the final Horcrux properly, he wanted seven right? Yet before he went to Harry's parent's house, he had five. I think in the last few minutes he decided to make a sixth Horcrux."
Hermione nodded, "Yea I agree with that but…"
"No listen, he didn't put it in any of the founder's belongings because there was no time, he made his sixth Horcrux, somewhere else, in something else, in Nagini," Ginny replied.
"The snake?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah," Ginny nodded.
"It makes sense, he would always be able to see that Horcrux if anything ever happened to the other ones," Hermione said softly. "Ginny, you might be right!"
"Don't act so shocked!" Ginny protested.
"Sorry Gin, it was obvious yet we didn't see it, no wonder he adores the snake!"
"Yea but how do we confirm that the snake has a Horcrux in it, and how do we kill it?"
Hermione thought about it, "We can't. Not until the war."
"Are you serious?" Ginny asked.
"It won't be safe for anyone to try and kill the snake," Hermione sighed.
Ginny nodded.
"We need to discuss it with Harry," Hermione said.
"Yea we do, I'll go check if he's back," Ginny ran out of the room.
Hermione smiled, it would all be over soon. They – well Ginny had figured out number seven and that meant all they had to do was wait for the war, they were ready.
Harry, followed by Ginny entered the office. Ginny and Hermione filled him in on what they thought.
"The snake," Harry repeated. "He's always with Voldemort."
"That's why it's best if we wait till the war," Hermione said.
Harry nodded, "Yea because Voldemort will start the war thinking he has a Horcrux as a back up, but instead someone needs to kill the snake during the war." He turned to Ginny, "If you're up to it, this Horcrux is yours."
Ginny kissed him, "Yeah I'll kill the snake."
Harry smiled, "Only If you're not heavily pregnant."
Ginny smiled, "Fine."
"Well looks like all we have left to do is win the war," Harry said softly. "No one other then the three of us can know about the seventh Horcrux. I will tell the others it's been found and destroyed. I don't want anyone to know, just in case…"
"We have a spy?" Hermione offered and Harry nodded.
"You don't know who you can trust and who you can't," Harry sighed, "Not at times like this."
Hermione nodded, feeling a little guilty.
"Well you two better get off, don't you have dinner plans?" Hermione asked the couple.
"Yea, it's at mums, you can come too! Mum would love it!" Ginny smiled enthusiastically.
"No I can't," Hermione replied. "I've got work to do."
"You work all the time!" Ginny argued.
"Gin," Hermione said softly.
"Fine," Ginny sighed. "Next time though!"
"Yeah ok," Hermione smiled.
"See you Hermione," Ginny and Harry called as they left.
Hermione smiled at the happy couple, all she wanted know was Draco.
She apparated to her house in muggle London; the rain was pouring outside, the sound of thunder erupted through her house. Hermione shook every time the lightening erupted. Hermione had sent Pinky to her parent's house for the night to clean it up. Hermione had not sold it yet. She sighed sitting down on the sofa after a shower and a change of clothes. She was planning to apperate to Malfoy Manor but realised tonight Draco was having a meeting with his death eaters to abandon an attack later on in the week. She sighed again as she got up from the sofa ready to head to her room when the lights went out.
"Brilliant!" Hermione muttered angrily.
She got up and looked around for her wand. Where did I put that damn thing? Let's see, came home, and took a shower so wand is in my room. Hermione cursed as she tried to find her way to the stairs, she tripped over who knows what in the living room. She could have sworn she heard a pop. She looked down trying to untie her legs from the wires.
"Lumos," Draco's voice said and lit up the whole room. He looked around to see Hermione on the floor. "What you doing down there?"
Hermione looked at him, "I fell."
"How?" Draco asked amused.
"The lights went out and I didn't know where my wand was and then I figured it was upstairs and I was heading upstairs when I fell," Hermione explained.
Draco smirked, "Hermione." Hermione looked up. "Your wand is here, on the coffee table."
Hermione's eyes widened, "No its not! I was sitting on the sofa!" Hermione got up and walked over to Draco, the wand was on the coffee table.
Draco laughed.
"Shut up!" Hermione blushed as she picked up her wand.
Draco was still laughing as he wrapped his arms around Hermione's waist, "And they call you the smartest witch of our time!"
"Draco Malfoy you are not funny!" Hermione's voice became louder and a little angry.
Draco grinned as he kissed her lightly, "I'm highly amusing."
Hermione was about to answer when his lips came crashing down on hers once again. He pulled back, "No point for the light. Nox." The light in his wand went off. "Where were we?"
Hermione smiled as she kissed him again, pulling him towards the sofa, they both fell. As Draco planted kisses down Hermione's neck, she unbuttoned his shirt.
"Lumos," another voice said softly.
Hermione and Draco froze, then Hermione pushed Draco off her and they both saw a third person standing in the room.
"WHAT IS GOING ON?" The person asked angrily.
