Hermione and Harry's day went by slow it seemed like hours, but they were happy that they had just finished their last lesson they both decided to skip dinner and go straight to studying as they headed towards the library. Hermione also had something else she wanted to research she wanted to look up the veil and perhaps bring Sirius back. She had been thinking about it plenty of times he hadn't been hit with the killing curse so he couldn't be dead, but right now the Horcrux had her immediate attention as she entered the library instantly telling Harry to keep guard and alert her if Madam Pince or another staff member came into the library.
Hermione made her way down the restricted section again she decided she would look up veils, first she kept looking a smiled in triumph when she found a book about the veil she pulled it out and kept a hold on it while she continued to look for anything that would help her with the Horcrux when she slapped her hand to her forehead 'A Hogwarts History of course' she quickly headed out of the restricted section ignoring Harry's puzzled look. She quickly went down the isle that held the book she wanted and she was glad it was still there she pulled it out and headed back to the front where Harry was standing still, looking confused she smiled at him ''I may have just found it'' she said happily.
Harry looked at the book ''A Hogwarts History seriously?''
''Yes think about it Harry it will tell you all about the founders if you had actually read it you would find it interesting.'' she huffed, she took a seat and pulled Harry down with her ''Right let's have a look.'' Hermione began looking through the book carefully when she smiled ''I got it'' she placed it flat on the table and watched as Harry moved his chair around to look at the book as well.
The founders each had an item that was important to their person they were antique and represented part of their houses there was Helga Hufflepuff's Cup that was handed down from many great Grandparents she it had a heart in the middle of the gold cup that represented 'Heart of Gold' to which she had on display for all Huffle puff's to see.
''Ok so one Horcrux could be the cup?'' Harry asked just for confirmation.
Hermione nodded ''Yes most likely it is something of value and meaning let alone antique you wouldn't expect part of Voldomort's soul was trapped into the cup would you?''
''No I guess not so what about Slytherin and Ravenclaw?''
''I am getting to that part now.'' Hermione said looking back at the book.
Salazar Slytherin also had something important, however he did not display his as he didn't trust anybody and it was part of a family heirloom that would be passed down to his decedents or heirs, however he never did hand it down, he refused and kept it hidden away, the item he considered his pride and joy was a locket it had a snake engraved on the front with green diamond eyes and inside has the Slytherin crest along with a picture of Salazar and his own mother and father. Rowena Ravenclaw had a diadem tiara that belonged to her mother and grandmother and then passed it down to her own daughter before she died it was a very valuable heirloom that held great protection spells and runes to protect the person who was to wear it.
Hermione quickly rote the items down ''Ok so we got Helga's Cup, Salazar's locket and a tiara that had been given to her own daughter''
Harry frowned ok so it is most likely those items and if we were to find and destroy them that would make five of the supposed seven destroyed so the sixth one must be his snake it's with him all the time and it seems to be his thing to have a bloody snake if the chamber was anything to go by so what is the last one if he had created one?''
Hermione shrugged ''I don't know but the problem we have is were are these items hidden he could have hidden them anywhere although if I wanted to hide something I would make it some place that had a meaning to me or I would just be tricky and hide it someplace that would be safe and out of sight.''
Harry snorted ''Well he is a paranoid freak, do you think Luna would know about the diadem or what ever it's called?''
Hermione thought that would be perfect for them seeing as she was a Ravenclaw herself she was about to speak when the source of there conversation appeared ''Now's our chance.'' she looked over and called for the girl ''Hey Luna, over here how are you?'' how is the DA coming along?'' they had not had anytime to teach them so they electively made Luna and Neville in charge to watch over them Hermione and Harry had taught them everything they would need now it was up to them to practice and train for when the time arrives.
Luna had entered the Library and smiled when she saw both Hermione and Harry ''Oh high there are a lot of nargles floating around you both? And the DA is coming along well.''
Hermione and Harry both tried to hide there laughter they still found her flighty and amusing even if they liked her ''Yes I was just wondering if you ever heard of Ravenclaw's diadem or something like that?''
Luna tilted her head o the side ''Oh yes Rowena Ravenclaw's lost diadem no one alive has ever seen it?''
Hermione deflated along with Harry when they realised it was lost ''Oh right that's a shame so what brings you hear?'' she decided she needed to talk to her they couldn't just send her away now they got what they wanted so Hermione and Harry had decided to have a conversation with Luna when Hermione decided this was a perfect opportunity ''Why don't you talk about the DA? And Harry give her your recent ideas would you while I do some more studying?''
Hermione watched as both Luna and Harry began discussing the DA now Hermione could look up the Veil she didn't want Harry to know in case she couldn't do anything. She read quite a few pages and discovered that a person who enters the veil alive and backwards can not be kept they will just stay in limbo the veil would only take dead people.
Hermione sat up straight to continue reading if this was true and Sirius wasn't hit with the killing curse then he could be trapped and still alive. She needed to get into the MOM as soon as possible, but it would have to be in the summer now seeing as they were in school and they now had the Horcrux to find otherwise Voldomort would never be killed. but Hermione vowed to herself the moment she gets a chance she is bringing Sirius back again.
Hermione smiled at Harry she needed to put the book back ''Hey Harry i got to go put this book back i will be back now keep out homework list safe.'' she said while looking at the parchment that had there information on she smiled in relief when Harry took it and placed it into his cloak pocked she headed to put the book back when she came to the front again she saw that Luna was just leaving she smiled at Harry ''Did you tell her the new plans for the DA?''
''Yes she said she will tell Neville and they will start practicing by getting them selves into ranks and groups of duellers, and healers etc. so they are in capable hands should we need to leave them seeing as we have done since last year so we got all me need only we don't know were Rowena Ravenclaw's Lost diadem is because it is lost.'' he let out a frustrated sigh ''Were going to have to go hunting them i am going Mione i need to end this war i think we will have to go in the Easter hols same time as Bill and Fleur's wedding we don't have time.''
Hermione sat there and bit her bottom lip she knew they needed too but she hated not having a plan ''Ok then we will go at Easter use Bill and Fleur's wedding to escape we have out apparition licence now so we will be fine we can stay at Grimmauld the Order won't think to look for us there.''
Harry looked at Hermione ''I don't want you coming. it's to dangerous''
Harry James Potter I am coming you will need my help to find them and to keep your ass alive i am in this deep anyway and we will go together and die together if necessary but we will be together through it all Harry. I am not leaving you alone in this.'' she said glaring at him daring him to call her out on what she said.
Harry sighed he knew she was right and he knew she wouldn't budge ''Fine.''
Hermione smiled ''Good and it is just as well i am going to see snape in a moment to discuss my times in the lab that means i can begin brewing the potions we may need.''
''Like what?'' Harry asked curiously
''Blood Replenisher for injuries of course essence of dittany in case we end up splinched or serious injuries, skelly grow to help with broken bones. we will need Polly juice potion in case we need to be under disguise for something we will also need to take a couple of Bezoar's and bandages I will ensure we are fully prepared if we are going hunting oh and we are going to have to camp so we will need to take the tent that we used in fourth year.''
Harry was shocked when Hermione was telling him what they will need he knew it was going to be dangerous ''Ok how are you going to brew Polly juice though?''
Hermione smiled ''Moaning myrtles bathroom of course like before old times.'' she giggled remembering brewing it in second year as well as the worst part turning into a cat she grimaced at that part of the memory ''Harry this is serious we could be gone for quite some time we need to be prepared we will still be hunted although i do know that Voldomort will not be aloud to be spoken when we are away from Hogwarts and you will have to have a spell cast on you to hide the trace you have on you still but that's not an issue.''
Harry eyes widened ''The trace? and what are you on about Voldomort's name not allowed to be spoken?''
''Voldomort has made his name a taboo a sort of password anyone who speaks his name will fine them selves surrounded by Death eaters or Snatchers it is his way to install fear and to possibly capture us and the trace is on every wizard or witch until they turn seventeen that's how they keep track and know if you cast magic when away from Hogwarts.''
Harry nodded in understanding ''Ok so do you want me to plan this trip?''
''Nope i will prepare everything you leave it all alone just focus on your work and normal stuff i do need you to tell Ron our plan but the day before we go to the wedding so he don't blab to anyone if he doesn't want to come then don't make him.'' she smiled ''Now walk me down to the dungeons i got a meeting with Professor Snape.''
Harry smiled and walked with Hermione down to the dungeons so Hermione could see snape he told her he would see her back in the common room and left.
Hermione took a deep breath as she raised her hand to the wooden door of his office and knocked it twice as she awaited his permission to enter.
''Enter'' the usual voice barked
Hermione took in a deep breath as she steeled her self to enter his office this was more important now than it was before she pushed the door open to see him scratching away on some essays she waited for him to address her.
