•A New Mission•

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Days had gone by, since Dumbledore's death.

To honor his memory, every lesson had been interrupted.

Harry and Y/N were inside Dumbledore's office. He was fast asleep, in his portrait behind the desk.

Just looking at him made Y/N's eyes fill with tears again.

He then looked at the desk, on which Dumbledore's wand was.
Y/N looked at it with curiosity.

He had always found it... peculiar, in a way.

Mcgonagall suddenly got in, and Y/N put the Wand down.

With that, both he and Harry left, without caring about what McGonagall tried to say.

They were currently in the Astronomy tower, together with Ron and Hermione.

Being there was like a torture for the twins.

Hermione: Do you think he would've done it? Draco, that is.
Hermione asked.

Y/N flinched, upon hearing his name.

Y/N: No.
He said, clenching his fists.

Harry: He was lowering his wand.
He said.

Y/N: It was Snape. It's always been Snape from the very beginning.
He said, getting up.

Y/N: But what angers me the most, is that I did nothing to protect Dumbledore. I blindly trusted Snape, and lowered my wand. Why didn't I set Snape on fire, that night when I had the chance? Why didn't I kill him like I wanted to? That's because, in the end, I was, and I still am, nothing but a weak idiot.
He said, frustrated, as he walked towards Hermione and Harry.

He then gave her the false Horcrux.

Harry: It's not the real one.
He said.

She opened it.
Inside, there was a small piece of parchment.

Hermione: To the Dark Lord. I know I will be long dead before you read this, but I want you to know that it was I who discovered your secret. I have stolen the real Horcrux and I intend to destroy it, as soon as I can. I face death in the hope that when you meet your matches, you will be mortal once more. R. A. B.
She read.

She then looked at them in confusion.
Hermione: R. A. B.?
She asked.

Harry: I don't have the slightest idea.
He said.

Y/N: Neither do I.
He said.

Y/N: But whoever they are, they have the real Horcrux. So, in the end, everything was useless. Everything.
He said.

Hermione looked at Harry.
Hermione: Ronald accepts your relationship with Ginny, by the way.
She said, smiling a little.

Harry looked at Y/N.

Harry: Hermione... We won't be coming here next year.
He said.

Y/N: We have to find the remaining Horcruxes. We don't know where this will take us, but we'll let you know as soon as we can.
He said.

Hermione: I've always admired your courage, but you two can really be idiots, sometimes. Do you really think you can possibly find them all on your own? You need us.
She said.

They all looked longingly in the distance.

Harry: I've never realized how beautiful this place truly was.
He said.

In that exact moment, they saw Fawkes fly away, up in the sky.

Ron walked towards them.

Ron: Things are going to change, right?
He asked.

They all looked at the sky.
Y/N: You bet they are.
