We find ourselves inside Crims.

I swear under my breath.

"Looks like this isn't over yet!"

McTwisp: "Follow me, and quickly!"

We hurry after the little white rabbit.

"Anyone know where they hid my Vorpal Sword?"

I get a chorus of nos.

"Oh, no. We're at Crims, inside the actual castle. There's no way we could ever possibly get the Vorpal Sword. Oh, no. No no no."

My voice drips with sarcasm.

"I have an idea of where it might be."

"Take me there, Hatter. McTwisp, Mallymkun, get out of here. Meet us out at the Bandersnatch stables."

They scurry off.

Tarrant grabs my hand.

He takes me up to the balcony overlooking the execution ground.

My fingers are still tangled with his.

He points.

"See the executioner's block?"

I nod.

"Your Vorpal Sword is underneath."
