Chapter 10: Destroying The Ring

Christmas came and went and soon everyone that had to go back to classes, home, wherever, was getting ready to return. Harry was looking forward to going back even though it would put him back into Black's sights. On the last day before everyone had to come back he was summoned, along with Severus, down to Hades kingdom.

"You wanted to see us," Harry said.

"Yes," Hades said. "I didn't want to tell the other gods this but I need a ring destroyed. In-fact I want you to spend the next couple of months destroying a ring and a locket. They contain soul fragments that must be destroyed."

"It would be a pleasure," Severus told him.

"I thought you would feel that way," Hades said. "Now the ring is located at the Gaunt House. Your abilities will take you both there. We don't have long before Tom Riddle is due to return to the land of the living. I want all of them gone before that time."

"And then all we have to do is drag him down to the Underworld," Harry said.

"It's not going to be that easy," Hades warned. "I'm sure that Tom will most likely know that you're both demigods, thanks to that damn Black. Find another way to ensure that he enters my kingdom."

"We'll work on it," Harry promised.

"I know that you will," Hades said and they both left his kingdom.

Finding the Gaunt House turned out to be easy, though Harry could have done well without the monsters. Three monsters attacked them, all Roman versions of their Greek counterparts. Harry almost got sliced in the arm by a Roman Fury and then two harpies decided to make them both suffer. Harry was personally glad to get to the Gaunt house.

"I hope we don't have to go and find the locket so soon after this," Harry told Severus.

"I agree, I hope not either," Severus said.

The ring had a Compulsion Charm on it but Harry and Severus were immune from them. Harry took out his sword and slashed it open. The thing screamed and then exploded. The smell of dark magic vanished, leaving the room just normal looking. They both shadowed out and headed back to camp.

"Where's Harry at?" Hermione asked Lou.

"I don't know," Lou answered. "Though I thought that they would have been back with you guys."

"I think that Hades wanted to talk to them," Sandra, daughter of Athena said.

"Great, just great," Hermione muttered.

"I'm sure that he'll be back," Lou said.

"I hope so," Hermione said. "I really do."

The next morning Hermione heard that both Harry and Severus had come back, both tired from shadow traveling and in need of rest. She knew that Harry would tell her what had happened once he was better.

"I wish the seven would finally come back," Sandra said.

"I know," Hermione agreed. "But at least Harry and Severus are back."

"So are you going back to Hogwarts?" Lou asked her.

"I'm going to inform the Headmaster that I'm coming back," Hermione told her. "I'm looking forward to being able to get back to my studies. I've missed so much."

"You'll do fine," Lou assured her.

"Thanks, for your assurance."

When Harry woke up a note was waiting on him. He put took the letter and saw that it was from Hermione. He opened it up and read:

Harry,

I'll see you back at Hogwarts when you and Severus wake up.

Hermione

Harry folded the letter and pocketed it. He then slowly got out of bed and saw that Severus was stirring. He then left and headed back to Hades cabin. He packed everything up in about ten minutes, making sure that he had everything that he needed, and had just closed his trunk when Severus appeared.

"Going back to Hogwarts without me," Severus said.

"Of course not," Harry said, picking up his trunk. "When I left you were stirring, so I decided to start packing."

"Has Hermione gone back to the school?" Severus asked him.

"Yes," Harry answered.

"Good, at least we know that she's safe," Severus said.

He packed up his things with a wave of his wand and then shrunk both his and Harry's things. They both left in a hurry.

Dumbledore sensed when Severus and Harry had arrived. The doe in the distance told him that Severus had cast the Patronus Charm. He smiled; glad to have his Potions Master back. Truth be told, Slughorn was a nightmare. When Severus entered his office he offered him a lemon drop.

"No, thanks, Albus," Severus said, setting down.

"Well one can try," Dumbledore said, "So what happened while you were gone?"

"We destroyed a Horcrux!" Severus told him. "It was in a ring!"

"Tom made more," Dumbledore said.

"After what happened last year, you should of known that he had made more," 'Severus told him.

"I know, but that doesn't mean that I have to like it," Dumbledore said, shaking his head. "Well that's two down. Did your father mention others?"

"He mentioned a locket," Severus said. "I do hope that's the only ones that are left."

"Me too," Dumbledore said, "Me too. Anyway, I'm glad to have you back. Slughorn was being his usual self."

"In other words…annoying," Severus pointed out.

"Now, Severus, he's not annoying just-."

"Annoying," he supplied.

"Fine, he was annoying," Dumbledore said.

"Good, glad that you agree," Severus said. "So any more sighting of Black?"

"No, thank the gods," Dumbledore said. "But I'm worried that he'll find a way past the Dementors. We all know that he's an Animagi."

"Yes, we do," Severus agreed.

"I've told the Ministry and they said that we have to watch out for the big dog," Dumbledore said. "Not one Auror will help us."

"So they expect us to do the job for them," Severus snarled. "Outrageous."

"I agree," Dumbledore said. "That's why I would like Miss Granger to help out. Maybe she can find a spell that will help us locate him."

"Sounds like a good idea," Severus said. "I'll talk to her about it."

"Thanks."

A/N: If I made any mistakes, then I'm sorry. The sequel will, hopefully, not have them.
