Chapter 10: The Rogue Bludger

The Quidditch match between Slytherin and Gryffindor was changed. It was now Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. Harry and Hermione were in their canary yellow robes, waiting for a chance to play.

"So what are you thinking about?" Harry asked Hermione as Gryffindor scored for the first time.

"About what's going on in the castle," Hermione said. "I know that something is going on but I don't have access to that information. And if Myrtle is telling the truth about something leaving this boy that killed her then we might be in worse trouble then we can imagine."

"Maybe one of my dad's old books might have some information," Harry suggested. "I'll have Sirius take me to Diagon Alley."

"Thanks," Hermione said and they continued to watch the game.

Suddenly one of the Bludgers decided to go after Harry, though Harry wasn't playing the game. Hermione screamed as Harry had to jump on his broom and fly away from it. The entire school watched as he flew to the castle and just as he thought he was about to crash into it, he dived down and the Bludger smashed into a thousand pieces. Almost at once Dumbledore was at his side, checking him out and then checking out the fragments of the Bludger.

"What happened?" McGonagall asked.

"Someone enchanted this Bludger to go after Harry," Dumbledore told her and then turned to Harry. "I want you to go to Madam Pomfrey and make sure that your okay."

"Yes, sir," Harry said and hurried inside.

Madam Pomfrey checked him over, and seeing that there was nothing wrong with him except some shock, he was allowed to leave. Harry wasn't surprised that Hermione was waiting on him.

"The Captain let me go," Hermione said. "He said that I needed to get a report if you were fine."

"I hope you weren't taken off the team," Harry told her.

Hermione laughed at this. "No, I wasn't, he was just worried about you," Hermione told him. "So want to go back to the Hufflepuff Common Room?"

"Sure since Gryffindor might win," Harry told her. "No need to watch the Hufflepuffs get all upset because we didn't win."

When Harry and Hermione returned to the common room an owl was waiting on them, a package tied to its leg. Hermione relieved the owl of its burden and it flew off. Hermione opened the package and saw two books and a box, Moste Potente Potions and a very ugly book called Secrets of the Darkest Art. A note was taped to the front of the ugly book and Hermione read:

DO NOT put on the ring unless you wish to be cursed. This ring contains a fragment of Voldemort's soul. I've spent my life trying to find these objects and they shall arrive all in due time. You must find the diary and destroy it as it contains a soul fragment.

Sincerely,

Lily Snape

"Mum sent them," Harry said. "We have to take this to Dumbledore at once."

"Well Floo it to him," Hermione said.

"Where he might put the ring on," Harry pointed out. "We'll go together."

Hermione nodded and both of them left.

Harry and Hermione had no idea where Dumbledore was at but they found Professor McGonagall and told her that they needed to speak with Dumbledore.

"It's very important," Harry told her.

"Very well," McGonagall said and she led the way.

When they arrived Harry told Dumbledore about he note that he had gotten from his mum and a warning not to put the ring on. Dumbledore levitated the box with his wand and studied it.

"By the Gods it's the Resurrection Stone," he told them.

"The what?" McGonagall said.

"The stone that allows you to speak to your love ones," Dumbledore said. "I've been after this stone for years. However I trust Lily when she says that the ring is cursed. This diary that Lily is talking about I wonder where it's at."

"Well she was very insistent that it's destroyed," Hermione told him.

"That I agree with, Miss Granger," Dumbledore said. "However nothing will destroy this ring, nothing."

"Maybe a way will present itself," Harry suggested.

"We can only hope," Dumbledore said. "Minerva, I want you to get that box that's up there. We're keeping it in there until a way can be found to destroy it. Once it's destroyed then that will be one less thing that we have to worry about."

"Sir, Myrtle told me that when she died at the hands of a huge snake that the boy that did it cast some spell and something came out of his body and into the diary."

"A soul fragment," Dumbledore told Harry. "I never thought that I would ever hear myself telling you this but since the ring was sent to you then I think that you need to know. This ring that I'm putting away is called a Horcrux, a container for a soul. Voldemort put his soul into this ring so that he can obtain immortality. It also tells me that there are more and if more arrive they must be destroyed at once."

"What happens if their destroyed?" Hermione asked.

"Then Voldemort becomes mortal," Dumbledore answered.

"I hope it happens," Hermione said.

"With any luck it might just happen," Dumbledore said and Harry watched the box placed inside another box and McGonagall took it away.

A/N: I wanted to introduce the ring early and as one of the many 'deliveries' that Harry and Hermione will receive over the course of the sequels. I will also explain later on what Severus and Lily were doing prior to Harry's conception and birth.
