Harry woke up at seven the following morning, he felt for Lillian next to him but realised she wasn't there, going down the stairs to her office he found her going over some various pieces of papers.
"Good morning sweetheart" she said without looking up
"Morning, how come you wake up so early?" Harry asked, giving her a kiss and leaning on her throne like chair, looking down on her.
"I couldn't sleep, so I came to finish these drafts over for a new decree"
"A new decree, for what?" he asked
"I convinced the Minister to allow students from the age of twelve up to be allowed to use magic at home, however they will only be allowed to use it in their homes and away from muggle eyes except if it is their parents. They will still have the Trance but they can practise magic, I feel that if students could practise their magic over the summer they may improve greatly for the next school year, the subjects taught at Hogwarts are only a breadcrumb of what they used to be" Lillian said
"Really? I think it is a great idea, I know for a fact it would have made my life much easier of I was allowed to practise magic at the Dursleys. But tell me how was Hogwarts before?"
"Well when Hogwarts first started until a few hundred years ago there were subjects such as Elvin, Battle Magic, Wandless Duelling, Mermish, all different types of languages and subjects, I'm actually thinking about making Muggle Studies compulsory next year, wizards tend to stand out form muggles, especially the clothing, we have to learn much about them"
"I have a felling some pure-blood families wont like that"
"They will have to live with it" she said
"When is this Decree coming out?" he asked
"Sometime in June, it will have to go through the Ministry, the Wizengamot and the Department for Magical Law Enforcement, but I'm sure Madam Bones will approve" she said
There was silence for a bit.
"Lillian when will we take care of the other Horcruxe lurking somewhere in the Room of Requirement?" Harry asked
"Don't worry, while we have been training I have also been talking to Hogwarts Castle at the same time, she says she will search the Room for it, but it will take time"
"What does it actually look like?" Harry enquired
Lillian lifted her eyes from the parchment and from her stretched out hand came out a light that took the form a tiara like headpiece. Harry memorised its appearance before Lillian made it disappear.
"Ravenclaw's Diadem huh" Harry said "somehow I feel like I have seen it before"
"Maybe you saw it on a statue or something" Lillian said, returning to her parchments.
"Harry don't you have to get ready for class, I don't think your mother would appreciate you being late for Potions" Lillian said.
"Oh crap yeah, I still need to get my books and change" he said
"Well I will see you at lunch, oh and thank you for coming to warm me up tonight" Lillian said
"For some reason I can't stay to be without you for too long, I may have to move in… permanently" he said
Lillian looked at him
"Please my love, I promise I will be careful" he said
…silence…
"I promise to be nice" he said slyly
…silence…
"I will fill you with love" even more slyly
…silence…
"Just think about it, us two, nearly all day, no interruptions"
…"fine" she said
"Yes! I love you so much, got to go now" he said quickly, he gave her a hard long kiss and then Apparated to his bedroom, changed, got his books and met up with Hermione and Ron at breakfast. Together they made their way to the dungeons, where Professor Lily Potter was waiting for them.
"Hello everyone, good morning" she went over and gave Harry a hug. Embarrassing him in front of the class. He sat down and got out his book.
"Now today we will study the new potion that was discovered just this summer known as the Cure, I am talking of cause the cure of lycanthropy. I was fortunate enough to be there when our Headmistress first made it and also when it was first tested on a friend of Professor Lupin" she waved her wand towards the board and the instructions started to appear on the board "Now we will actually be making our own batch which will then, if perfect will be passed on to the Werewolf Relief Organization, this is by far the most complicated potion you have ever made and the longest too, it will take resources which are nearly impossible to get, but fortunate for you, we have plenty. Your homework is to write two rolls of parchment about the structure and list all the ingredients, as the ingredients are already on the boards, half the work is done for you. You may see Professor Lupin, Professor Black, Professor J. Potter or the Headmistress for your research and of course the library"
She paused for a bit, waiting for the students that were still copying their homework. She carried on explaining the ingredients and each use and affects it had on the potion, ten minutes later they began preparing the ingredients, and altogether it would take three weeks for the potion to be complete. Harry's mind however was elsewhere, he already knew about the potion, having read Lillian's notes on it, so he drifted his mind to the Horcrux, laying somewhere above his head. He searched his memories for any clue on the diadem, he knew he had seen it somewhere before. Then it hit him right across the face like a pan. He had seen it only a few months before, he had been hiding his potion book when he saw that statue of the man with a weird wig on and tiara.
"Of course!" he said, a bit too loudly, his mother who was helping Ron with his potion came over to him,
"Harry is something wrong?" she asked
"Mum I know where the Horcrux is!" he said quietly; however Lily heard him and her eyes grew.
"Harry go and tell Lillian, she needs to know, that is more important that Potions, you can catch up later, go" she said.
Harry vanished his cauldron to his bedroom and exited the lab without anyone but Hermione and Ron noticing, everyone else was too busy concentrating on their own potions.
The moment the door shut behind him, he Apparated to her office, she was still immersed in paperwork and when she saw him she jumped up from her chair a bit.
"Harry! What are you doing here? And out of lessons?" she asked
"I remember Lillian! I remember where I have seen the Horcrux before!"
"Really? Where?" she said, but Harry ran to her and took her hand and together Apparated to just outside the Room of Requirement.
I need somewhere to hide my book he said three times, while walking in front of the door.
The large oak door appeared in front of them and Harry dragged Lillian inside.
"Wow" she said looking at the piles and piles of banned objects of a thousand years. She was lead past piles that reached the ceiling, past an old wardrobe, and to a corner, where there was indeed a statue of an old man with a wig and a tiara on his head.
"I can't believe we actually found it in so little time, you are a genius Harry" she gave him a quick kiss, Harry was about to touch the diadem when Lillian stopped him.
"Wait" she said, looking around, "Ok there's nothing, I expected he would protect it with enchantments like the one from the ring but he didn't, he really thought that no one would be able to get in" she said
Harry and encased the Horcrux with the same type of protective bubble Hermione had used with the Cup. Together they came out of the Room and Apparated to her office. Harry got the sword from the case.
"Ready?" Lillian asked him
"Yes, one more down" he said before stabbing the diadem right in the centre. From the diadem came out a thick, blood like substance which dripped onto the floor, Lillian vanished it and placed the diadem in a special trunk which she kept in the closet near her desk, the trunk could only be opened by her and inside it contained all the Horcruxes they had destroyed so far. Only two more to go.
Lillian gave a relieved sigh "that's one more gone, I think we should send William out again to search for the other two, one we know is Nagini but we don't know where the locket is"
"I can talk to William at lunch" Harry suggested
"No it's fine, you can go back to lesson I don't want you to spoil your education, you already missed a whole day of lessons, as much as I love to spend time with you as Headmistress I can't allow a student to be late for class"
"Well then my lady, I take my leave, thank you for gracing me with your presence" he said teasingly, bowing and smiling, with a near silent pop, he Apparated to the Transfiguration classroom, where lessons would start in three minutes.
