The barren halls of Hogwarts School left little to the imagination, many walls had been reduced to crumbles. The aftermath of the battle of Hogwarts left a lot to be repaired. As the scene shifted, the Slytherin common room appeared to be untouched, remaining prideful and strong.
A hooded figure cautiously glanced in every direction, they had bite marks on their arm as though they had been attacked by an animal. In their possession they had two objects folding them in cloth, hiding them under the floorboards, nearby the fireplace. The hooded figure turned revealing their face for just a moment.
Phoebe gasped, sitting upright causing her boyfriend to fall off the bed, she helped him up. Though she was too focused as to what the person might have been trying to hide. Whatever it was she needed to tell Katherine it might have been important.
Phoebe tried to gather as much information as she could of what she had seen, she packed her book that she used to record her visions into her back. She opened her front door, she was surprised to see Theo walking towards her house, he looked tired like he hadn't slept.
"Are you alright, I was just on my way to see you and Katherine," she said
"Yeah, about Katherine," She could hear the pain in his voice "she in the hospital, she's alright but she has to stay for a few weeks,"
"Oh god, what happened?"
"She ingested a toxic substance, though it's not clear what," she nodded
"Thank you for telling me, I should go and see her,"
"I was there this morning she was asleep the whole time," Phoebe nodded knowing it probably wouldn't make a difference sitting there while she slept
"You said you were coming to see us, is everything alright?" he asked
Phoebe explained to him what she had seen, Theo thought it was worth checking the Slytherin Common room just in case there was anything useful that might help. Phoebe offered him her assistance if he needed it, she didn't expect him to ask that she come with him.
"I'm probably not the best person to go," she told him,
"I understand you didn't have the best experiences with Slytherins," she nodded
"Maybe my brother could go with you he'd know the common room better than me anyway," Theo thanked her for telling him, he wasn't sure what he'd find, though keeping his mind busy would help him stop worrying about Katherine.

21st March 2000, Greengrass Lodge,
Pansy inform Theo that Daphne and Hadrian Black had taken a vacation, just to take their mind off everything that was happening. Theo couldn't remember the last time he had been to Greengrass lodge, it seemed like decades ago, most of the good times in his school years were faded in the darkness that took over during the last 3 years.
He knocked on the door, it creaked open he walked through the lodge, he didn't see anyone or anything out of the ordinary. Theo walked through to the back, as she had another smaller building that was fitted with a spa and hot tub, he opened the door slowly rolling his eyes when he found Daphne and Hadrian enjoying their holiday.
"Having fun?"
"Salazar's sake you scared the life out of me," Daphne exclaimed
"I need to borrow your boyfriend, for a couple of hours,"
"Is it necessary?" he complained,
"Extremely," he said, Hadrian huffed getting out of the hot tub,
"You're lucky we weren't skinny dipping, what do you need me for anyway?" he questioned drying himself off.
"Your sister Phoebe said you could help me find something," Hadrian clenched his jaw
"Like how she's just handing my name out,"
"Well, get dressed I want to get there and get back," Theo told him, Hadrian saluted him, causing a giggle from Daphne.
At Hogwarts School,
Professor McGonagall had given Theo and Hadrian permission to investigate the Slytherin Common room. She had moved the Slytherin students to the Great Hall, while they took a look around. Theo and Hadrian looked around their old common room, looked just like they remembered.
"Phoebe said, it was near a fireplace," Theo told
"Alright, you check that one, I'll check this one," Hadrian said,
They walked to opposites sides of the Common room, each checking around the fireplace. They didn't know what they were looking for, Hadrian noticed that one of the bricks was loose, he lifted the brick. He gestured for Theo to come and take a look, there was a hole that reached under the fireplace.
"What do you think's down there?" Hadrian asked,
"I don't know," Theo reached his hand down feeling around, as touched something that felt like cloth,
"I got something," he said, pulling a thin piece of cloth, unwrapping it fell a wand, similar to Cygnus Blacks' something else fell on the floor, Hadrian picked it up.
"That looks like my uncle's ring," he said,
"Your uncle Regulus?" Hadrian nodded
"Great that two Horcruxes, we need to destroy them,"
"Alright, we best get outside," Hadrian told him,
The pair left heading towards the training field, best place, it was open enough that someone wouldn't get hurt Hadrian laid the Wand and Ring on the floor. Theo cast Fiendfyre curse, the flames took the form of an eagle, he managed to control the flames enough to guide them towards the Horcruxes, as the flames died down, Hadrian ran over to the Horcruxes.
"Did it work?" Theo questioned
"Yes," Hadrian held a broken wand and part of a melted ring.
That's it three down, two to go. Though the one thing that concerned Theo now was if Bellatrix didn't know about the first she would most definitely know about the destruction of these two. He had seen what Bellatrix was capable of, and Katherine was in the hospital.
Alone, fragile and an easy target.
