"So who wants to go to the library?" asked Harry.

"I do!" said Lily.

"Okay, who else wants to go?"

"I will," said Ginny. "And Lily, remember that we're only skipping school today. You have to go back tomorrow."

"School is for Muggles," said Lily, frowning.

"Don't say that, Lily. You'll be going to Hogwarts next year, anyway. Now let's go to the library, you can hold onto my arm while I Apparate." Lily gripped her mother's arm tightly and they both disappeared with a crack.

"Now, we can't use the computer. That only has Muggle stuff," said Ron.

"Right," said Hermione. "So what do we do?"

"Now we think," said Harry.

"Why can't we just alert everyone that You-Know-Who is back?" asked Ron. "I mean, it doesn't have to be just us, does it?"

"Yes, it does," said Harry. "No one will believe that I saw him again. Except maybe the rest of your family."

"Well, I'll tell them," said Ron. "Maybe they can help." He threw some Floo Powder into the fireplace, put his head in, and cried, "The Burrow!" He saw his parents, trying to cook a meal.

"Arthur, the fireplace! What- oh, hello Ron dear!" said Mrs. Weasley, jumping up slightly.

"Hi, Mum," said Ron. "Uh... well, You-Know-Who is back. We saw him at Platform 9 ¾."

"What- how- why was he there?" she stuttered.

"We have no idea. But he's back, so we're going to try to destroy him again," said Ron.

"Well, that's great, Ronnie! Have you told your brothers?"

"No," said Ron.

"Well, I'll do it. You need to destroy You-Know-Who. Good-bye, Ronnie!" said Mrs. Weasley.

"Bye, Mum," said Ron, and backed away from the fireplace. "She'll tell my brothers," he told Harry and Hermione.

"Fantastic," said Harry. "So does anyone have any ideas as to what or where the Horcrux is?"

Ron and Hermione shook their heads. But then there was a crack and Ginny and Lily appeared next to them. Before Harry could say anything, Lily said, "Daddy! Did you know? The guy had a horsie named Jeanie! And he loved it very much! I saw it in a book with Mummy!"

"So what if the Horcrux is a saddle? Or a horseshoe?" suggested Ron.

"Really, Ron? I doubt it. I don't even believe that You-Know-Who had a horse. That's just some crazy story," said Hermione, sounding like her younger, more know-it-all self from her Hogwarts years.

"You don't-" started Ron.

"I know. I don't know everything. I just said I doubt it," interrupted Hermione.

"But 'Mione, maybe that's what he wants you to think! Think about it. It's so ridiculous that it could be true," said Ron.

"Good thinking, Ron!" said Harry. "You could be right. We should all keep Ron's idea in mind."

"Good job, Uncle Ron. You're smart," said Lily, congratulating Ron. Even though she was just his niece, Ron blushed because he wasn't used to compliments. Hermione rolled her eyes at him.

Harry said, "Yeah, good job. Find anything else, Ginny?"

"Not really. It said he loved his horse, but don't you think that's a little weird? I mean, Dumbledore said that You-Know-Who never knew love. How could he love his horse, then?" asked Ginny.

"I... don't... know..." said Harry. Ginny was right. If Voldemort couldn't love, how could he love a horse? And if he didn't love a horse, then his Horcrux couldn't be a saddle or a horseshoe Then they had gotten nowhere.

But then again, maybe Ginny was wrong. If that had been the only thing they found, then maybe it was true. Then the Horcrux could be a saddle or a horseshoe. That would mean they had gotten somewhere! But there was no way of knowing whether Ginny was right or wrong.

"Well, since You-Know-Who is back, where does he live?" asked Ron. "Malfoy Manor? With a different Death Eater? In a hotel?"

"Not a hotel," said Ginny. "People could easily see him."

"Weren't the Malfoys his favorite Death Eaters? Besides Snape, of course. But he trusted them most. He could be living with them," said Hermione.

"How would we find out?" asked Ron.

"Let's have Draco over for tea or something," suggested Harry.

"As if he's likely to come," snorted Ron.

"He'll come," said Harry. "I'll call him." He picked up their telephone and mentally told it to call Draco's hose (he had bewitched the phone so calling was easier).

"Hello," answered Draco.

"Hi, um, it's me. Harry Potter," said Harry.

"What do you want, Potter?"

"I just wanted to ask if you wanted to come over to my house for... tea," said Harry. "Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and my daughter Lily will be there, but I wanted to invite you. I haven't talked to you in a long time."

"Well, sure, I guess I can come," said Draco, sounding surprised. The two had always hated each other.

"Thanks," said Harry. "You can just Apparate into my house in a couple of minutes. I have to get stuff ready."

"Bye," said Draco, and hung up.

"Okay, he's coming. Some Veritaserum in his tea would make things a lot easier... do we have any more, Ginny?"

"Yeah, we have a lot actually. Accio Veritaserum," she said.

"Thank you," said Harry. He quickly made some tea, poured it into five cups, and poured a few drops of Veritaserum into one of them. That one would be Draco's.

CRACK! Draco appeared next to Harry. Thankfully, Harry hid the Veritaserum just in time.

"Um, sit down," said Harry. Draco sat. Harry sat down at the table across from Draco and handed him his tea. Ron, Hermione, and Ginny sat. Lily decided not to stay with the adults so she went to her bedroom to play.

Draco took a sip of his tea. "This is good," he said.

"Thanks," said Harry. "So, Voldemort's back," he started.

"Yeah, I know," said Draco.

But they hadn't told anyone! "How do you know?" Harry asked.

"I don't want to tell you!" said Draco rudely.

"Tell, or else... Harry won't let you leave!" said Ron.

"Fine! He had another Horcrux and he's staying with my parents!"

"What's the Horcrux?" asked Ginny.

"A horseshoe," answered Draco.

"Where is it?" asked Hermione.

"I don't know," said Draco, sipping more of his tea.

He must have really not known, because he was still drinking Veritaserum. Ginny made polite conversation with Draco to pass more time while the others talked.

"Harry," Hermione whispered, "what if he tells his parents, or even You-Know-Who himself? And then they wipe our memories or something?"

"Um... do that spell that you did in 5th year! The one you did on the D.A. list! And no one could tell or they'd get boils all over their faces."

"Good idea!" said Hermione. She quickly cast a Protean Charm over Draco so that if he told anyone what he had said to Harry, he would get boils and slap himself in the face.

"...so then I told Scorpius that he could not have a pet ferret!" said Draco, howling with laughter.

Ginny laughed. "That sounds really funny," she said. She looked at Harry. "Make him stop!" she mouthed.

"Wanna hear about another funny time with Scorpius? One time, Scorpius was drinking butterbeer, and-" started Draco. He seemed to love talking about himself and his family.

"Actually, Draco, I think you should be leaving now," said Harry.

"Shut up, let me tell the rest. So Scorp was drinking butterbeer for the first time, and he started hiccuping. I heard him and I rushed into the kitchen, because hiccuping isn't normal with butterbeer and I looked-"

"Really, I think you should go. Your wife is probably waiting for you," said Harry.

"No, she's at work. So I looked into Scorp's cup, and sure enough, it wasn't butterbeer! He had firewhiskey! So I had to ask Scorpius why he had that, and he said he had gotten it from me! Turns out, he had taken the firewhiskey instead of the butterbeer out of the refrigerator! Isn't that funny?" finished Draco.

"Yeah... really funny," said Harry. "Leave, please."

Draco Apparated back to his home without saying good-bye, and they all looked relieved. Who knew he could be so talkative?

"So," said Harry, "it's a horseshoe."

"I knew it," said Ron proudly. Hermione blushed. She wasn't usually wrong. Ginny rolled her eyes.

"Where could it be?" asked Harry.

"In another bank vault?" suggested Ron.

"I doubt that he would hide two Horcruxes in two similar places," said harry. "In Malfoy Manor, maybe?"

"Draco would know if it was there," said Ginny. "Could it be in the middle of the ocean?"

"Yeah..." said Ron. "We'll never find it. It could be anywhere!" He put his hands on his head and closed his eyes.

"We can't give up," said Hermione. "Do we want You-Know-Who to be back? No. So we've got to destroy him. The Horcrux could be in the middle of the ocean. It could be in the middle of the earth. It could be in his dead mother's intestines. It could be in his own stomach. It could be in outer space. Who knows? But we can't give up."

"You're right," said Harry. "But how will we know if it's in space, or the ocean?"

"It'll be someplace special to him, right? So it wouldn't be in space, unless that was somehow important to him. Was it, Harry?" asked Ron.

"No, I don't think so," replied harry. "You said something about his intestines or something, Hermione?"

"I don't know. I was just naming random places. Anyway, would it be in the ocean?" questioned Hermione.

"The ocean wasn't important to him, I don't think. Plus, he already hid one in an ocean-like place," said Harry. "Oh! You said, his dead mother's intestines. What about there?"

"Didn't he hate his parents? Why would it be there?" asked Ron.

"He only hated his father, because he was a Muggle. Why don't we try there?" suggested Ginny.

"We don't even know where she's buried," said Ron.

"But I do! I was there in fourth year, remember? Well, none of you were there, but she's in that graveyard that the Portkey brought me to in fourth year in the Triwizard Tournament. All his family members were there, so we could search around them too," said Harry.

"Just don't make me go to a graveyard at night," said Ron. "I bet there are loads of spiders crawling about, just waiting to eat me the moment I step into that creepy place..." he said, shuddering.

"Honestly, Ron, isn't it about time you got over that stupid fear? I mean, spiders aren't really that bad," said Ginny.

"Shut up! It's all Fred's fault, really... turning my teddy bear into a spider like that... I was just a little child... I can't help it! I'll get over it when you get over your fear of the dark!"

"I'm not afraid of the dark, Ron. That was years ago. I've been over that," said Ginny.

"Well- well- well, um, you-" started Ron, in search of something to retort to Ginny.

"Can you two just-" began Harry, putting his hands on his head and sighing. Ginny stuck out her tongue at Ron and Harry sighed again.

"Are we going to the graveyard or not?" asked Hermione.

"We are," said Harry. "But let's wait until tomorrow when Lily's at school. That way, all of us can go."

"How about you go today while I stay here with Lily?" suggested Ron hopefully. He was almost shaking in fear.

"No," said Harry. "We need you. You have good ideas." Ron blushed again, and Hermione and Ginny rolled their eyes. "So we're waiting until tomorrow," continued Harry. "That's the plan."
