YOU ALL TRUDGE THROUGH THE GRASSY PATH, SILENTLY LISTENING TO THE RADIO ANNOUNCE THE LIST OF MISSING PEOPLE.
you walk beside ron, watching your feet as you walk.
but you all rush and duck into a barn as a bunch of death eaters fly overhead.
after that, you all walked for what felt like forever.
through vast fields, trailer parks, over bridges, and you all stopped for a rest at a small empty beach.
"he doesn't know what he's doing, does he?"
you glance over at harry who was throwing rocks into the water.
you place your hands in your lap.
"none of us do" hermione says.
and you all continue to walk, taking small rests in empty spaces.
every second of every day, the radio was going and you all had to sit through the announcer read out the names of the missing witches and wizards, dreading the day when you might hear someone you know's name.
you all sit on a sort of cliff, inside the tent. hermione was cutting harry's hair, while you were plaiting yours.
hermione suddenly pauses, "oh, my god"
you look up at her.
"what?" harry questions, she steps away and harry checks his hair.
"I'll tell you in a minute"
yous it up, going over to the table where hermione was flipping through a book.
"maybe you could tell us now" you say.
"the sword of gryffindor. it's goblin made"
you raise an eyebrow.
"brilliant" harry says, hermione smiles, "no, you don't understand. dirt and rust have no effect on the blade" she pushes the book she was reading from towards you both, "it only takes in that which makes it stronger"
"okay" you say slowly and confusedly.
"harry, you've already destroyed one horcrux, right? tom riddle's diary in the chamber of secrets"
you nod slowly in remembrance.
"with a basilisk fang. if you tell me you've got one of those in that bloody beaded bag of yours.."
"don't you see?"
you blink.
"in the chamber of secrets, you stabbed the basilisk with the sword of gryffindor. it's blade is impregnated with the basilisk's venom"
